Chapter 9: Up at the Top
"Why in the world did I agree to come here? Vacation my foot! It was just a stupid treasure hunt. I am all alone on a stupid beach in Japan. My little Jacklyn is probably scared to death. She could be hurt, kidnapped or worse. Jack is probably not even looking for her. If he comes up here without her I will take him back to Port Royale and, personally, hand him over to Norington." Will Turner had been left above the well for over three hours with no sign of anyone. He was on the brink of going completely crazy and this was not a pleasant time to loose himself. Turner sat on a grey rock that Jack had left earlier. He clasped his hands, put them to his forehead and looked down. His eyes locked onto the half-empty bottle of rum that sat upright in the sand. While picking up the sand glazed bottle he uncorked it and took a long swig. "No wonder Jack likes this stuff, it actually tastes like candy and it does much in easing the mind already." Will did not remember that he had not drunken much more than a few sips of wine and had never had anything as potent as rum before. Because he did not think of this, he downed the rest of the bottle. A few minutes passed and Turner sauntered to the well. As he walked he could barely keep his eyes open.
"If *hick* I can't find *hick* Jacklyn *hick* then *hick* than no one else can *hick*." With that Will jumped down the well. He landed on his back and let out a wave of very drunk laughter mixed with a few hiccups. At once, his gaze fell upon a shiny piece of rock. "Wouldn't Liz like that," he said as he picked up the object. He placed it in the scarf around his neck and let out a high pitched squeal. With the high-pitched sound, all the rum in his blood system rushed to his head and he blacked out. What he did not know was that the stone he possessed was Kagome's lost Shikon Jewel Shard.
