My Heart Will Go On - Chapter One
Author's Note: Okay, as you can tell, this is going to be a Titanic type story. Yeah, I think it's going to be okay. It is so far in the notebook, so I figured I'd post it.
Slight OOC (Okay, not slight, maybe, like major, but whatever)
Disclaimer: Yeah, if I owned Titanic and Inuyasha, I'd probably be rich and able to afford a decent computer.
"Kagome, get on the ship."
That simple sentence, just words, was as powerful as any weapon that my mother could possibly use.
I hated the ship. Sure, it was the biggest and fastest ever built. For the 1700's anyway.
Against my will, my legs obeyed my mother's order, with my fiancé, Kouga, behind me.
A few weeks ago, I had read this book called the Goose Girl. The princess's best friend, and lady-in-waiting, had a special power called people speaking, meaning she could get people to do what she said with just words.
Yeah, well my mother has that power. And she could use it quite easily, may I add.
"Come on, Darling," Kouga said, pushing me forward gently.
Oh, how I wished Sango and Shippo were there. But, they were servants, so they had to get on at a different spot.
We continued up the gangplank and towards the titanic (sorry, I had to) sized ship. The name on the side of it was the S.S. Youkai.
I heard whooping and yelling in the roads. Maneuvering my ridiculously heavy dress and hat, I turned around to see what was going on.
Two boys were running through the huge mass of people, grinning and laughing as their small bags bounced on their backs.
The taller boy, from what I could see, had long, flowing black hair to his waist. The odd thing was, though, no matter how much the wind tossed it around, it never got tangled.
The other boy, the shorter one, had a small black ponytail at the base of his neck that whipped back and forth with his hurried steps. He shouted something to his friend that I couldn't quite catch.
Kouga pushed me forward again by my shoulders to get me moving.
"Keep going, dear, there others who are waiting to get on," he said.
I turned around and took the last few steps on board.
I had to admit, it was beautiful. But I still hated it, but it was magnificent. Mahogany statues topped the handrails and the walls were painted an elegant ivory green. Gold trim was reflecting the lights.
"Come along, Kagome," my mother ordered, following the attendant to our rooms.
"Mother," I started, "Where are Sango and Shippo?"
"Probably in the rooms by now," she replied, shaking her head, "Useless slackers."
I chose to ignore that last comment about my best friends.
Only Sango truly knew what was going on in my life. Only she knew what Kouga was doing to me almost every night.
No one believed me, of course. Kouga was a rich, well-respected man. I perfect gentleman...
Yeah...
So, we walked to our rooms, mine was joined to Kouga by a hallway.
There was a knock on my door and it opened.
A woman with long black hair stood in the doorway, looking tired and harassed. A long tear went down the bottom of her soft, pink dress.
"Sango! What happened?" I flung my arms around her in a sisterly hug.
"Nothing, just inspection, Lady Kagome," she replied.
I stood back and rolled my eyes at the word 'lady'.
"Stop calling me that!" I laughed.
"Kagome!" a higher voice yelled, and a small boy leapt into my arms.
"Hello, Shippo!"
His red hair glinted in the artificial lights and reflected in his brilliant green eyes.
"Sango! Shippo! Where were you?" a deeper voice from behind them demanded.
The younger woman turned around.
"We were going through inspection, Lady Kikyo," she replied.
"Well, get to unpacking, you useless wastes of space," she demanded.
Sango's eyes, as well as mine, hardened at the remark. I was about to say something, but was cut off.
"Yes, Lady Kikyo."
Sango bowed low and went off to do her bidding.
"Shippo, help Sango," my mother ordered.
The child nodded, jumping from my arms.
"Honestly, Kikyo, I don't know why you keep them around," Kouga said from behind her.
"We need the help, I guess."
I growled softly, so they couldn't hear me and shut mt bedroom door.
This much, I could tell: It was going to be a LONG trip...
Author's Note: Okay, there. The first chapter. I'll probably be switching viewpoints by the way.
Anywho, I'm off to start the next chapter!!
