Chapter 4
I stand up and grab my sword's and place them in the sheathe's on my back. I turn toward Elizabeth to find her stareing at me.
"Is something wrong Miss Elizabeth?"
"No, it's just that I've never seen a woman handle a sword with such ease and confidence before. Do you know how to wield it?"
"Yes I do. My friend's taught me how to fight with sword's and without them."
"Are you a pirate Kagome?"
"No, I'm not. My friend's taught me so I can protect myself when I travel. Beside's I've alway's hated the feeling of being helpless and defenseless."
"You are very different from any woman that I have ever met Kagome. You know how to use a sword and you dress like a boy. Where are you from Kagome? I can tell that your not British, you don't have the accent for it. English isn't your native tongue is it? You speak it very well, but you have an accent that I cannot place."
"Your correct Miss Elizabeth, I'm not British and English isn't my native tongue. But where I'm from isn't important, since I'll more than likely never see my home land or my family again. I was sent here for a reason and until I finish whatever that is, I won't be able to return there. If I'm ever able to return to it. We should go and bring Captain Sparrow back to the camp before he's to drunk for us to handle, I really doubt that we could carry him back to it."
"Your right Kagome, we should go and introduce you to Jack. I can't wait to see his face when he see's you, he'll be in for a surprise.......... Kagome, I just want you to know that I'll do anything that I can to help you return home when we are rescued from here."
I smile at her, and let her think what she will. I know that even if I can return to Japan that it won't be my home or either of my time's, almost everyone I know would be gone, except maybe the full blooded youkai's, like Sesshoumaru, Leah, Shippou, Koga, and Kilala. It would not be my home anymore. Who know's maybe I'll bump into some of them in this time.
I motion for Elizabeth to lead the way to where she had left Jack. She walk's back the way she had come, and I follow her. After several minute's we reach the beach. We see him sitting in the sand, drinking from a bottle with amber colored liquid. I stand back as Elizabeth approaches him.
"Jack, you'll never believe what I have found!" she say's excitedly.
"Hopefully a ship or at least more rum to drink." before he take's another swig from the bottle in his hand.
"Well I didn't find either of them, but I did find someone else who has been stranded here." She motion's for me to step forward.
As I step closer to them he turn's around and look's at me. I had to hide a smile at his expression of amazement.
"Who is he?" Jack ask's her.
"Her name is Kagome, she was shipwrecked here a couple of day's ago." she answer's him with an impudant grin on her face.
"He's a girl? She's definately not dressed as a girl. Well luv, I would say that it's a pleasure to meet you in other circumstance's. My name is Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow that is." he say's.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Captain Sparrow, even in these circumstance's. If you would be so kind as to follow us back to my campsite. It's not very far from here, and I have some fish already caught and cooked." I say quietly.
I watch as he stand's up. I notice that he is swaying on his feet. Elizabeth look's like she is disgusted with him and his drinking, she turn's and start's walking toward my camp. I watch Jack out of the corner of my eye as we follow behind her. I walk closely next to him, so I can offer him some help if he need's it. I get a good look at him as we follow behind Elizabeth. The first thing I notice about him is how cute he is, with his dark chocolate brown eye's that have kohl around them, his shoulder length black hair with all of the braid's and bead's that he has in it, and his darkly tanned skin. As we walk along, he stumble's I reach out and grab ahold of his arm to steady him. He look's down at me with a grin on his face.
"Thank's luv."
"Your welcome Captain Sparrow."
"You don't have to keep a hold of me, unless of course your just looking for an excuse to touch me." he say's with a grin on his face.
"Had you rather me let you fall flat on your face next time, I can." I tell him with a grin.
I look to Elizabeth to see that we have reached the camp. I let go of Jack's arm, and walk over to the fire and pull the other fish off of it. I place it on another large leaf that I had brought back to camp earlier. I watch as Jack and Elizabeth sit down by the fire. I hand them both a fish on a leaf.
"You should eat it before it get's too cold." I tell them.
"What about you Kagome?" Elizabeth ask's me.
"I'll catch another one and eat it, beside's I ate some fruit earlier. So I'm not really that hungry at the moment." I answer her.
I then reach and pick up my makeshift fishing pole and bait it with some peanut butter. I then stand back up and go and cast it out into the water. As I return to the fire I notice that they are both eating the fish like they hadn't eat in a while. I walk over to where I had left the fruit earlier and pick it up and hold it out to the two of them to eat with there fish. They both reach out and take the fruit that I offered to them and start eating it as well. After they finish eating they look to where I was sitting in the sand. They walk over to where I am and sit down on either side of me. Elizabeth look's at me and say's.
"What we do to be rescued from here? What are we going to do until we are rescued?"
"I don't have a clue Miss Elizabeth. I don't even know if anyone is looking for me yet. I know that they don't have a clue as to where I am. All I can suggest we do is to pray to be rescued from here in time to help your friend."
"I have a suggestion to pass the time girl's. We can drink rum until we pass out. What do you say girl's? It could be something to do instead of worry constantly about thing's we have no control over." Jack say's.
I didn't know what to tell him, so I look over to Elizabeth to see what she had to say about it. She looked like she was deep in thought. She looked toward me and smiled widely, and then winked at me. She has a plan in mind, I know it, and it's something that Jack would not like. I would guess from her attitude that she plan's on getting Jack so drunk that he won't be able to interfere with whatever else she has planned.
"Sure, we might as well, since we don't have anything else to do. How about you Kagome, do you want to drink some rum?" Elizabeth ask's.
"I've never tried it, but then I normally don't drink either."
"You never tried rum? Well we'll have to fix that then, won't we?" Jack say's with a grin.
He stand's up and start's swaying on his feet, and head's back to the rum cache. I get up and follow him. I don't want him to get hurt. I don't know why, but I don't want him hurt. I see him stumble, I rush to him and catch him before he fall's. He look's at me with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Thanks luv, that would've hurt. I guess you've been nominated to be my guardian angel, but I should warn you, you'll have your hand's full keeping me out of trouble. It seem's to follow me wherever I go."
"I guess being a pirate has nothing to do with it Captain Sparrow."
"Maybe just a tad lass, just a tad."
We reach the rum cellar and Jack start's to go into it. I quickly grab a hold of his arm.
"You stay up here. I'll go down and hand the bottle's out ot you."
"Allright lass. Hand up about four large bottles if you don't mind."
"Aye, aye Captain."
I climb down the cellar step's. Once down there I see at least 50 bottles in all shape and size's. I grab the two largest and hand them up to Jack, I then grab the next two largest bottle's and start to climb out of the cellar. Once I'm out, I see Jack standing there with a large smile on his face, holding the other two bottle's. We start heading back to the campsite, once we're there we find Elizabeth sitting where we had left her. I look at her and realize that she is still in the slip that she's been wearing since they arrived on the island. I can offer to let her wear one of my extra outfit's. The dark purple one would go well with her coloring. I sit down the two bottle's that I was holding and walk over to my bag and start digging thru it to find the outfit. I pull out the outfit and walk over to her with it.
"Miss Elizabeth if you want you can wear this, it will be much warmer than what your wearing now. I know that it's not what you are used to, but it is clean and dry."
She look's up at me with a smile, as she reaches out for the outfit.
"Thankyou Kagome. I would be honored to borrow this. You are right about it not being what I'm used to, but it should be more practical in the long run. So thank you. I guess I should go and change before we start drinking the rum."
She stand's up with the outfit in her hand's and start's walking toward's the tree's trying to find somewhere to change. I turn back toward's the fire to see Jack stareing at me.
"Can I help you with something Captain Sparrow?"
"No, I just realized something about you lass."
"And that would be what Captain Sparrow?"
"You have a kind and gentle heart. You also seem to be the kind of person who would do anything to help out a friend or even perfect stranger's. I mean look at today for example, you just met me and Elizabeth, you bring us into your camp and feed us the food that you caught for yourself, you give her some of your clothe's to wear, you've done all of this and expect nothing in return. I've not ever met anyone like you lass, and I doubt that I ever will again."
"I'm only being myself Captain Sparrow, that's all I can be. Beside's I'm just glad not ot be stuck on this island alone. I don't like being alone."
"Not many people do lass. Come on you should try the rum." He say's with a grin as he hand's me a bottle.
I reach to take the bottle out of his hand and I felt my hand tingle where his finger's brushed it. I look up at him to see him smileing at me. I quickly duck my head to hide my blush from him. I was glad that Elizabeth came back to camp at this time.
Being around Jack was a distraction I really don't want to deal with yet. Don't get me wrong I think he's hott and sexy, but I don't know what he want's from me. I wasn't brought up to believe in casual sex, that's why I'm still a virgin at 25. And in the last ten year's Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru has kept that kind of men away from me. The one's that they felt wasn't good enough for me. Kamie those two treat me like a younger sister that they must protect and guard from everything. Who know's maybe me being out of there reach is a good thing. With any luck I might meet my true love on this adventure. So I guess that I should steer clear of Jack, he doesn't seem to be the type who would want to fall in love and settle down.
I sit the unopened bottle down and go and check my fishing pole. I have caught another one. I quickly take it off of the hook, I walk to the edge of the water and start to gut and clean the fish useing the dagger that I keep tucked up in my arm guard. After I finish cleaning the fish, I wash off my dagger and the fish with some fresh water that I had in my canteen, then I stand back up and walk back up to the campfire and put it on a stick and place it on the fire to cook. I look up from my task to see Jack and Elizabeth watching me. Elizabeth has a curious look on her face. I guess she has never seen anyone clean a fish before, much less a woman who know's how. Jack was looking at me with admiration on his face and he had another look that I couldn't identify. Oh well I'll try to figure it out later.
I pick up the abandoned rum bottle. I open it up and bring it up to my lip's and try a small sip of it. It has a sweet taste to it, but you can also taste the alcohol in it. It goes down a lot smoother than saki and it doesn't burn your throat when you drink it either. I take another small drink of it and look over to where Jack and Elizabeth are sitting. Elizabeth is sipping on her bottle of rum and stareing into the fire as if lost in thought. Jack is sitting there drinking his rum and watching me. I turn my head and pretend to check the fish, so I can hide the blush that I know is covering my face. I turn the fish over and glance back at Jack to see that he's still watching me. I don't know whether to be angered or flattered in being stared at. I don't have a clue as to why he is stareing at me, and that make's me nervous. After several more minute's I take the fish off of the fire and put it on a leaf to cool down a little. I pull my dagger out of my sleeve and use it to eat the fish with. After I eat what i want of it, I realize that there is almost half of the fish left.
"Does either of you want anymore fish? I don't think I can eat anymore of this."
"Not at the moment Kagome. What about you Jack?" Elizabeth ask's him.
"You sure you don't want it lass?" He ask's me while looking me in the eye's.
I shake my head, and hold the fish out for him to take. He look's me in the eye's for a moment before he reaches out to take the fish. His hand brushes against mine as he take's the fish from me, and I feel my hand tingle from his touch again. I look into his eye's and see that emotion in his eye's again. I quickly pull my hand's back from his and look away from him. I pick the rum back up and take another drink from it. I sneak a glance at Jack only to see that he's still stareing at me, with the unidentified look still in his eye's. That look confuses me, I don't have a clue as what it mean's. I take another drink of rum and start thinking about how I'll ever find my way back home.
