A proud ship stood out amongst the crashing sea waves. Her first ride in the Caribbean Sea seamed uneventful so far. The girl aboard was a silhouette against the dusky sky.

'Soon I will be married and live the life of a noble woman. I should be happy, right? Right! How many women get to marry a man such as Hojo Oblivi. I'll bring honor to my family name, and… besides, who marries for love, instead of money or honor?'

She knew she was only trying to convince herself that the marriage was a good thing.

'But who doesn't want Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome to rescue them?'

She begun to fantasize about what her dream guy looked like, where he would rescue her, what she wished she looked like, and her dream guy's personality.

She murmured to herself, some of those things, "Silver hair, abs to boot, nice, kind, caring, but most of all willing to put his neck on the line, save me from this god forsaken HELL HOLE!" All the things Mr. Oblivi was not, from what she had heard.

She felt the slap about midway through her ranting. She whirled around, to find a tall, some-what muscular, smiling woman of about 17.

"My, my, Kagome, you got quite a mouth there, and dreaming of another guy, too!"

"Sango-ooo, that hurt" Kagome half wined at her friend

"I think you deserve it! Having an affair!" Sango said with mock anger, horror and disappointment.

"I am not!"

"Yes you are. I know you."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

Sango gave up, laughing out, "If you say so! Have you seen Kikyou 'round anywhere? I've been looking for her all day!"

"She'll turn up sooner or later. Have you checked to see if she was with Kagara?"

"No, Kagara's missing too…"

Kagome laughed out towards two approaching figures. "Speak of the devils!"

Kagara and Kikyou grinned their famous mischievous smile.

"What did you two do? Better yet: What should I be aware of?" Sango looked at them with all the control she could manage.

The two held up their hands in mock surrender.

Kikyou said through her wolfish smile, "Just as long as you don't plan to have any of the coconut…"

Kougara cut in and like a practiced verse and finished "You'll be fine."

The four couldn't help but laugh. Things like this seemed to be second nature to the girls. After a fit of laughing they stared off into the sunset.

Sango remembered after a good 40 minutes of playing around "Damn! Dinnertime, shit! That's what I was supposed to remind every one of. Dinner and 20 minutes to get ready for it, Damn!"

"What?! Oh no, how classy?" Kagome was horrified to say the least.

"CLASSY!"

"To my room!" Kagara was the 'girliest' of them all, so of course, she had all the good stuff in her closet.

Kagara and Kikyou gave Kagome and Sango their most evil look, earning a gulp from both Kagome and Sango. They whisked them away to the evil make-up, perfume, and no-breathing-allowed dresses.

Coming out, Kikyou was wearing a blood red skirt and white long sleeve top, a cross with a diamond-like studded circle in the background, all made by a black metal. Sango wore a flowing white skirt and a white Mexican top, a single band of gold decorated her wrist. Kagara was done up the most of the three formerly mentioned, girls. She wore a red traditional kimono with a yellow/gold pattern, her was done up in a gold crown looking hair piece, her neck and wrist bore gold bands.

"Come on Kagome!" Kikyou was beginning to get impatient. "We're late as is."

"One second!" Kagome's voice came through the door. "How do I look?"

Her attire was a dark navy blue kimono, with silver scene embroidered on it, and a slit up her right leg. The scene featured a wolf howling to a light blue moon, a running river, a path, trees, and butterflies galore. Her hair done up similar to Kagara's, except the hairpiece was silver and some stubborn hair lined her face. Her make-up was done very lightly, a slight bluish-silver color on her eyes. Her jewelry consisted of a silver band around her wrist, a necklace with a big Austrian jewel, a silver band adorning her navy blue high heels, her earrings were a sapphire connected to three streaming silver pieces, and finally, a silver base ring with a sapphire in the middle and diamonds to either side.

The three girls blinked twice, she looked spectacular. Kagara was about to have a fit- she looked nicer than her!

"Wow, Kagome! Come on, let's go, I'm starved!" Sango was not about to miss dinner over some make-up and perfume stuff. "The men are probably gonna kill us"

Everyone nodded and began walking the long way to the 'mess hall'.
