Chapter 6

~Chapter 5~

"Whats that!"Kagome said pointing behind Yasha. Yasha turned around to look in her direction, she was pointing too. Yasha stared wide eyed at the thing that was coming. "Its here!! Its here!!"Miroku yelled from the nest. "Whats here, you dim wit?!"Stevie shouted to Miroku.

"The Ship, The Ghost Ship," Miroku yelled in answer, not paying attention to the rude comment. Yasha stared, seeming to be in a trance. Kagome looked at him, "Yasha, is that.....?"she said. "Its Daimyo," Yasha said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~ *~

Silence fell over them all as the gray ship came closer and closer. Kagome stared in horror and turned to Yasha to see his reaction. But he was just staring at it determinedly, like it was another Inu-yasha, coming to claim something of his.

Kagome looked to the ship again, she had this feeling, a feeling of the uttermost power, something she only got when she detected a shikon shard. Though this was not just one shard this was at least five. Kagome looked every where to see the glow of the shards, finding them, right at the back, on the very end of the ship.

Sesshomaru came from the wheeler deck and went to Yasha. "What shall we do now?" He asked Yasha staring at the ship as well. "Let it come, get ready," Yasha said and noticed that Inu-yasha was going to throw another attack again.

"Inu-yasha! Stop this!"Kagome said glaring at him. Inu-yasha was taken back at this. "The ship has shikon shards with in it," she stated clearly. Inu- yasha stared at the ship. "No way! The shikon shards can not be possessed by ghost! Only by demons," Inu-yasha hissed. Kagome looked at the ship, and question its title.

"Thats cus its not a ghost," said a voice from behind Yasha. Yasha turned around quickly, standing before him was Ganny. "Then wut is it then, if it is not a ghost?"Kagome questioned her, stepping towards the child. Ganny rolled her eyes at her, which made them look at her in surprise. "Foolishness, is all you can comprehend isn't it? Didn't Inu-yasha just plainly state, that the shikon shards can on behold to a demon," she said in a matter-of-fact voice.

Kagome stepped back, "No way, that ship is a demon?". Ganny crossed her arms and looked fixedly at the girl older then her, wondering what bliss it would be, to know nothing. "NO! The ship is ran by a demon! Captain Daimyo, or as story would like to tell, Captain Jack Sparrow," she smirked.(a/n:ok so I couldn't find a better captain *shrugs* at least he is a cute captian)

"What are you so happy about?" Stevie looked at her in disgust. "I heard he drinks rum and sleeps with *bleep* all the time," he finished crossing his arms, daring her to tell him different. "Yes, but he is a good captain,"she argued. "I heard its all lucky accidents," he growled at her. Ganny took a swing, which he ducked, "Know it all!" she growled. "Thank you, I'll be here all week," he smirked.

"Anyway! Now that we know wut we are dealing with, hows abouts we go and fight, ye savvy?" Yasha said lazily putting his sword in his shaft. Inu- yasha growled, "We're not through yet, coward, draw and fight me," he said lefting his sword to Yasha's throat. Yasha gave him a look of pure annoyance. "ARE YOU DEAF! YOU MINDLESS GIT!"Sesshomaru yelled, the patients in him clearly to its braking point.

"Inu-yasha, the ship has jewel shards!" Kagome said holding him back "I'll kill him, then get the shards,"Inu-yasha said. Yasha laughed, "You haven't been able to kill me for the last hour, you really think, you are capable of taking on a ship of demons? Clearly, your brain is in your ass," Yasha finished with a glare.

"I know this is going to be very hard but I think you will understand when kagome is at a risk, but, dog-man, I am asking you to team up with me, to get rid of this demon, and you get the shikon shards things, but kill me, after we kill the demons,"Yasha said staring Inu-yasha in the eye. Inu- yasha stared him down, then sighed, "Feh, fine, but after this your died," Inu-yasha growled and walked to the edge of the ship to stare down the demon ship.

Yasha rolled his eyes, turned to Sesshomaru and the rest of his crew. "Sesshomaru, Sango, you will come with me," He ordered. Sesshomaru nodded and Sango came up too. Yasha turned to Kagome, "Your going to stay here, Kagome," he said then turned to Ganny. "You will tell me how to defeat these demons," he growled taking her by the arm and taking over to where Inu-yasha was.

"Yasha! She's just a kid!" Sesshomaru growled from behind him. "Sesshomaru, put your crush on her to the side, right now we have to get information from her," Yasha smirked at the look on Sesshomaru's face. Ganny's face went red with embarrassment. "I'll tell you, just let me go,"Ganny said trying desperately to get lose. Yasha smiled, "Thats a girl, but you are going to tell Inu-yasha too," he said.

Inu-yasha turned away from the ship and looked at the on coming people coming towards him. Yasha nodded towards the girl he had locked in his grasp. "Ok, the demons on the ship are toad demons in the body's of human people that used to drive the ship, they go around stealing gold because that is where they get their energy," Ganny said.

Inu-yasha raised an eyebrow, "And how exactly do you know this?". "Because, I lived on that ship, until we landed on a island where they took over everybody, even some of the children,"Ganny said glaring at him. "How did you live to tell about this then?" Inu-yasha growled at her. "Because I killed the frog that tried to possess me, fire,"Ganny said.

"Smart little wench you are,"Inu-yasha said with a frown. "Yes, she is,"Yasha smirked and looked to his brother. "Sesshomaru, get the fire buckets ready," Yasha ordered. Sesshomaru nodded and went down to the belly of the ship. Kagome pulled Yasha to the side. "Yes Kagome?" He asked her with a puzzled look on his face. "I don't trust her,"Kagome said flatly. "I know, but we have too, because I don't think that ship will let us go," Yasha said.

Sesshomaru came back up with the coal filled buckets that were already burning. Yasha got on the railing calling to all of his men for attention. "Ok, here is how its going to be, when we get on the ship, if the demons are not in form, we fight the human form, until they come out, then we set their ass's on fire, all clear? Good, then lets go," Yasha went up to the wheeler deck and started to turn towards the ship.

"You sure about this?" Sesshomaru questioned his half brother. "Yes, fluffy, I am sure,"Yasha growled. Sesshomaru glared at him, "Your judgement is not clouded, little brother? By that wench? This is not a risk of our lives to help the wench get her jewel shards, is it?" Sesshomaru growled back. "Shut up, if you don't want to go, you don't have too,"Yasha spat back. Sesshomaru turned and walked down to the main deck.

Kagome was on the other side of the ship, staring out onto the water. "Kagome? Do you love, him?"asked Inu-yasha, trying not to show the hurt he felt. Kagome turned around and stared at Inu-yasha in confusion. "No, why would you think that?" Kagome asked walking up to him, and did notice he let go of his breath as if he had been holding it. "Well, I just wanted to tell, you that, if you were going to decide that you wanted to go to Yasha, that I should tell you, how I feel about you first," Inu-yasha said his bangs covered his eyes, so she could not see in his eyes,what he was about to tell her.

Yasha stood at the wheel, staring at Inu-yasha and Kagome talking.

"Gan-chan?" Lana asked looking at her friend. "Hai?" Ganny answered, they were both at the bottom of the ship, waiting to get orders to go up and attack. "What is up with you?" Lana asked. "I for one would like to know too! What the hell is going on?"Fala growled at Ganny. "Its nothing, I just don't want to go back to that ship again," Ganny said plainly. "Why, don't you want to see your family again?"Stevie asked this time. "My family? What family? Did you not hear what I said, they are demon home bodies now, they are not my family," Ganny said.

"Stop the chit chat and get ready, don't need to come under attack and not be prepared," Ganny hissed grabbing her sword. "Fine, fine, you never talk about yourself, we used not care, because you looked like a orphan and never seen your parents, but you have seen your parents, it has to be awful,"Lana said. Ganny stayed silent, everybody heard the sound as she put the sword in its shaft. "Don't talk to me about family, ever again, you understand,"Ganny said walking up to the main deck. Guess who heard the little outburst.

Sesshomaru stared as Ganny stormed off right past him. He shook his head and went to walk behind her.

"Inu-yasha, what are you talking about?" Kagome asked him. Inu-yasha grabbed her in a hug, crashing her to his chest. "Kagome, I love you, not because you look like Kikyou, or possess her soul, I love you for you, you have made me happier, then I thought I would ever be again,"Inu-yasha said running his fingers through her black hair. "Inu-yasha, I love you too,"Kagome said. Inu-yasha pulled her away from the hug, and when he saw her face he smiled and kissed her on the lips.
