Chapter 7
"But why did you do this for me lass?"
"Because no one should be judged for something that they've done in the past. Beside's everyone deserve's a second chance Jack."
"Thank you lass." he say's as he pull's her into a hug. She stand's there stiffly for a moment, and then she relaxes and return's his hug.
"Your welcome Jack." she say's as she she step's out of his arm's, and smile's at him with a blush on her cheek's...
"Let's explore the island t see if Elizabeth left anything unburnt. Come on lass!"
He start's to walk away and then turn's back to her and grab's her hand, and start's heading back to where they had left Elizabeth.
When they got into sight of the signal fire, they noticed that there was a ship on the horizan. It was flying a british flag and a long boat was headed into the direction of the island.
"There will be no living with her after this!" Jack say's.
"But at least they can no longer prove that your a pirate Jack." Kagome tell's him softly.
"No but they can still hang me for comadeering 'The Intercepter' with young Turner." He say's quietly.
"I'll do everything that I can to help you Jack, even if I have to break you out of jail to do it. I promise you Jack, I won't let them hang you." She tell's him.
"Your a good friend Kagome, maybe if I had met you when I was younger I would be a different man today."
"Your a good man Jack, just as you are."
They finally reach where Elizabeth is standing and waiting for the boat to reach shore.
"I told you we would be rescued Jack! Now all we have to do is to rescue Will." She say's excitedly.
"Aye, that's easier said than done lass. You they care about, him they don't." Jack tell's her.
"Of course they'll want ot rescue him Jack, he is after all a citizen of Port Royale. It's there job to protect him" She replies to him.
"But only if he's in Port Royale though lass. You're the Govenor's daughter so of course they're going to come after you, but he's just a lowly black smith. To them he's of no importantance, and to the Commadore he's a rival for your affection's. So unless you can find a way to convince them they won't go after him." Jack say's.
The boat has finally reached shore and a man with a white wig and a dressier uniform than the rest of the men were wearing, climbed out of the boat.
"You're safe Elizabeth, I and you're father had hoped that it was you that had made the signal fire. I see that Turner and Sparrow found you. Where is Turner anyway?" He ask's her.
"He gave himself to them so they would release me Commadore, we have to rescue him before they kill him." She tell's him.
"We'll discuss it when we return to the 'Dauntless' Elizabeth. You're father is waiting to see you." he replies. He then notice's the stranger, wearing two sword's strapped to his back standing by Jack.
"Who is this young man? No doubt a pirate by the way that he's dressed. What is your name boy?" he ask's.
"My name is Kagome, and I am not a pirate. I was marooned here after my ship went down in a storm a few day's ago."
"Your a woman! Your dressed like a man with sword's." he say's.
"It make's it easier for me to travel unescorted if I dress like this. I normally let people think that I'm a boy."
"I've never heard of a man named Kagome before lass." Jack say's.
"That's why I normally tell them that my name is Kai when I travel Captain Sparrow." she tell's him with a smile.
"Where were you headed when you're ship went down Miss Kagome?" the Commadore ask's.
"I was trying to make my way home Commadore. To see my family and to spend some time with them."
"Where is your home Kagome? You never did say where you are from." Elizabeth ask's.
"I'm from Japan, Miss Elizabeth. The trip was just supposed to be a short jaunt, at least until the storm came up. The storm must of blew us far off course for it to finally go down in the caribbean.."
"How will you get back home then? Stranger's aren't welcomed in Japan, so it will be hard for you to find a ship that will take you there." Elizabeth say's.
"She just might be in luck, your father has a meeting set up with one of the Lord's about a trade agreement. She might be able to get a passage back to Japan when they return home." the Commadore say's.
"Do you know the Name of the Lord that the Governor is supposed to meet with Commadore or at least which land he govern's?"
"Yes, I believe that he is the western lord and his name is Lord Sesshomaru. Do you know of him Miss Kagome?" he ask's.
"Yes, I was born in his land's, and I have met him in the past. I should be able to seek a return passage on his ship. Do you know when he'll be arriving into Port Royale Commadore?"
"Actually they're due any time now, that's one of the reason's the Govenor want's to get back to Port Royale. So he can have everything ready for Lord Sesshomaru's visit. We really should get back to the 'Dauntless'. The governor will want to set sail back home as quickly as he can." He say's.
"But what about Will, Commadore? They'll kill him, if we don't rescue him." Elizabeth say's.
"That will be up to your father Elizabeth. You should discuss this with him, not me." he say's.
"Fine I will discuss this with him! Let's get going then Commadore." she say's.
Every one start's loading into the boat's except for Kagome. She look's at them for a moment, until Elizabeth notice's her.
"Kagome, what is it?"
"I need to go and get my bag, and my thing's from the campsite. Will you wait for me to get them?"
"Yes, we'll wait for you Miss Kagome. Would you like someone to go with you to help carry them back?" Commadore Norrington ask's her.
"Thank you for the offer Commadore, but I'm used to carrying my bag around, and everything that I have with me fit's into the bag. I'll be back as quickly as I can." she turn's and jog's off.
After a few minute's she come's back into view carrying a strange looking yellow bag over her shoulder. When she reaches the long boat Jack reaches out and take's the bag and sit's it down into the boat, he then help's her into the boat. After she's settled in, two of the sailor's push the long boat into the water, when they are a little over knee deep in the water they hop into the boat and start to help row it back to the ship.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After they reach the ship and get the boat up and tied down, they all start to climb out of it. A tall man wearing a long curly wig step's foward to hug Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth thank god your safe. Now we can return to Port Royale before Lord Sesshomaru arrive's." he say's.
"But we've got to save Will!" She say's.
"No. Your safe now. We will return to Port Royale immediantly, not go galivanting after him." He say's.
"Then we condemn him to death" She tell's him.
"The boy's fate is regrettable, but then so is his decision to engage in piracy." He tell's her.
"To rescue me, to prevent anything from happining to me!" She tell's him.
"If I may be so bold as to interject my proffessional opinion. The Pearl was listing near the scupper's after the battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it, the Black Pearl, the last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?" Jack say's
"By remembering that I serve other's, Mr Sparrow, not only myself." Norrington reply's
"Commadore, I beg you, please do this. For me..... as a wedding gift." Elizabeth say's
"Elizabeth, are you accepting the Commadore's Proposal?" Govenor Swann ask's her.
"I am." she respond's.
"A wedding. I love wedding's. Drink's all around." Jack say's waving his arm'a around, until he notice's the commadore stareing at him. He put's his arm's together in front of him.
"I know, clap him in iron's.... right?" Jack ask's.
"Mr Sparrow, you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing's to Isla De Muerta. You will then spend the rest of the voyage contemplateing the meaning to the phrase 'silent as the grave'. Do I make myself clear?" Commadore Norrington ask's him.
"Inescapably clear." Jack answer's.
He's lead toward the helm. The govenor notice's that a stranger is standing by Elizabeth.
"Who is this young man Commadore?" The govenor ask's.
"This is Miss Kagome. Her ship went down in a storm and she was stranded on the island before Elizabeth and Sparrow arrived there. She needed a way off of the island, so we brought her with us. She's from Japan as well." Commadore Norrington answer's.
"Your a woman? From Japan?" Govenor Swann ask's.
"Yes. I was born in the western province's of Japan."
"Do you know of the western Lord then?" Govenor Swann ask's her.
"Yes. He is the Lord of the western land's. Lord Sesshomaru is a strong and honorable ruler over the western land's, much like his father was."
"Yes, didn't you mention that you had met him Miss Kagome?" the Commadore ask's her.
"Yes, I have had the honor of meeting Lord Sesshomaru, several time's actually. Why do you ask Commadore?"
"Do you have any kind of idea how we should try to deal with him?" the govenor ask's her.
"Well, if you want to deal with him well. Never lie to him, he dispise's liar's. Show that you have honor and treat other's with honor. Honor is very important to him. He appear's emotionless to everyone who doesn't know him, but he does feel thing's deeply. If he consider's you a friend or someone in his protection he will do whatever it take's to keep you safe. He will consider you as honorable and trust worthy for going after Mr Turner. It's what he would have done in your place."
"I guess that it's a good thing that your going to rescue Will then isn't it, Father? It wouldn't have boded well in dealing with Lord Seehomaru if you hadn't." Elizabeth say's.
"No I guess it wouldn't have. What kind of clothe's are you wearing Elizabeth? I've never seen an outfit like it." Govenor Swann say's.
"Yes you have. Kagome's out fit is almost identical to this one except for the color. She loaned it to me so that I wouldn't have to go around in my slip. I must say that it is one of the most comfortable outfit's that I've ever worn in my life. Kagome do a lot of women dress in clothe's like these in Japan?" she ask's.
"No they don't. As far as I know there is only two other's and myself that dress like this. At least I've not ever seen any other women dress like this."
"Do you know how to fight with the sword's on your back Miss Kagome, or are they part of your disguise?" Commadore Norrington ask's.
"I know how to use them very well Commadore Norrington. I have been in several battle's in the last ten year's."
"You've been in battle's? Why were you in battle's?" Govenor Swann ask's.
"Yes, I've been in battle's. I wanted to help my friend's, and I've alway's hated feeling defenseless."
*I have to hide my smile at there amazed expression's. I bet there jaw's would drop if they knew that Sesshomaru had been my sensai, or I had fought alongside of him for the last several year's. I turn from them and walk over to the railing.
I flare my aura in hope's that Sesshomaru is close enough to sense it. I know that if he is he'll come straight to it. I have a feeling that we'll need him in the up coming battle. Beside's I can't wait until we get to Port Royale to see him. It will be great to see a familar face. Who know's maybe some of my other companion's will be with him. I miss them.
I hear them discussing stratigy behind me, and from what I'm hearing they don't have a clue that the pirate's that we'll be facing can't be killed until the curse is lifted. I wonder why Elizabeth doesn't tell them? Unless she's afraid that if they know they won't go after Will. I bet that's why she doesn't say any thing about it.
After about an hour I sense a very familar aura's approaching us. After another hour I see a ship appear on the horizan. It is huge, and almost all white. Leave it to Sesshomaru to have a white ship. I hear a sailor in the crow's nest call out that they see a ship approaching. As it get's close enough to make out detail's on the ship. The first thing I notice is that it's flying two flagg's. The top one is a little larger than the other and it's the Japanese flag, the other one has a large paw print on it. Which is Sesshomaru's family crest. I hear the Commadore say something to the Govenor as the other ship come's along side of us.*
"They are flying a Japanes flag. Do you think that it is Lord Sesshomaru's ship?" the Commadore ask's.
"If it is, then he's not going the most direct route to Port Royale. This is quite a distance from the route that he should be on. I'm rather curious as to why he's so far off course?" The Govenor say's.
*I stand there watching the other ship as it get's closer to the 'Dauntless'. I see that Shippou and Sesshomaru are standing at the railing of the other ship. I grin when I see them. I wave at them.*
{Long time No see guy's!}
{Only you are able to get lost in another time trying to go home Gome!} Shippou say's.
{Are you well Kagome?} Sesshomaru ask's.
{I'm fine Fluffy. I'm just glad to see some familar face's! The Govenor and Commadore have been asking me on how to deal with you. I guess he want's to make a good impression on you. I never thought I would live to see the day that you would trade with foriegnor's.}
{You alway's said that would be the wisest course, to deal with them and not to start a war with them. Have you changed your mind on the matter?} Sesshomaru ask's.
{No I've not changed my mind about it Fluffy. War against one of the strongest country's in the world is never wise. It's great to see you two again, by the way how do I introduce Shippou to them?}
{I'm the Southern Lord now, Gome. Your companion's are getting impatient, I guess that you should introduce every one.}
{Do you two remember the english that I taught you?}
{Of course we do Kagome, we have had over two hundred year's to practice it.} Sesshomaru say's.
"Kagome do you know them?" Elizabeth ask's me
"Yes I do know the two that I was talking with. Commadore do you care to tye the ship's together, that way I can make formal introduction's with every one."
"Of course Miss Kagome."
"Is this Lord Sesshomaru's Ship?" Govenor Swann ask's.
"Yes it is. I also was told that the Southern Lord is on board. He also want's to set up a trade agreement with the British."
*I stand there and watch as the two ship's are tied together. Once the ship's were secure Sesshomaru and Shippou came aboard. I have to grin as the Govenor and everyone on the ship act flustered at the sight of the two. Sesshomaru is 6'9" in height, his hair is still long and silver, his eye's are still the same intense gold color that I remember, and let's not forget his almost all white clothe's and his sword's. Shippou is taller now than he was at 15. He's now 6'7" in hieght, his red hair is almost as long as mine is, he's still wearing it in a pony tail, his eye's are still the bright emerald that they have alway's been, and he is now wearing a dark blue outfit with a sword strapped to his waist. Sesshomaru and Shippou look me over. Sesshomaru nod's his head to me and Shippou walk's to me and pull's me into a fierce hug. I return it just as fiercely while trying to fight back tear's. Shippou is talking to me quietly trying to keep me from crying.*
{Mom, I'm here. Please don't cry, you know I can't stand to see you cry. I promise that I'll never let anything happen to you. You mean to much to me, to everyone. I've missed you Mom. I'm so happy that we finally found you. I alway's knew that you were still alive some where. Mom I love you so much.} Shippou say's.
{I love you too Shippou, and I've missed you and everyone else. Even though I've only been away from there for a couple of day's, it feel's like I've been gone a life time.}
{It has been a life time to us, it's been over two hundred year's since we have seen you Kagome. I see that your wearing Inuyasha and Tawny's birthday present. I must admitt that you look good in green, but you do look better in white. How did you get here?} Sesshomaru say's in a monotone.
{The well spit me out and I landed in the ocean not far from an island. I swam to it, the next day the Govenor's daughter and Jack were marrooned there by pirate's. Elizabeth built a huge signal fire that was spotted from the ship. They rescued us from the island. We've been aboard for a little over two hour's.}
* I step out of Shippou's hug and stand there with his arm laying across the top of my shoulder's. Sesshomaru step's closer to me and put's one of his hand's on my shoulder and the other one he used to raise my chin up so I'm looking him in his eye's. I see all the emotion that he's feeling showing in his eye's. I step closer to him and give him a fierce hug, he gently return's it. I feel so safe and loved, being with these two again. After a minute or two we both stand back from each other. They both stand on either side of me as we turn toward the people behind us.*
"I guess introduction's are in order, Govenor Swann, Commadore Norrington, I would like to present to you Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Shippou. They are the Western and Southern Lord's in Japan."
*Sesshomaru and Shippou bow slightly to them. Govenor Swann and the Commadore look at the three of us in amazement. I guess I was right when I assumed that if they knew that I was as close to these two as I am, that they would be amazed.*
"Kagome I thought that you said that you had just met Lord Sesshomaru several times, you never mentioned that you were close to him or to the Southern Lord." Elizabeth say's.
"All any of you asked is what I knew of him, not if I knew him personally."
"I am grateful to all of you for rescueing Kagome. She is very dear to both of us." Shippou say's.
"Yes, I too am grateful for you rescueing her. She feel's like a younger sister to me. One of the reason's that we both agreed to trade with you were we were hoping to find her or at least find out what happened to her. We are very glad to find that she is alive and well. It would have been a sad task to have to return home and tell our family's that we still had no word of her or of her where about's." Sesshomaru say's in a monotone.
"I'm glad that you two are here. They are going to rescue a young man from a group of pirate's and your skill's could become very handy in the up coming battle. {Because until a curse is lifted from them they can't be killed. No one except Jack, Elizabeth, and I know this. Elizabeth didn't want to tell them because she was afraid that if they knew it they wouldn't go after him.}"
"There is no need for you to become involved Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Shippou, I would however be very grateful if you would take my daughter with you on to Port Royale. We should be more than capable to rescue Mr Turner. There is no need to put yourselves in danger." Govenor Swann say's.
"No we insist on helping you do this, if only to repay you for rescueing Kagome. Beside's it not honorable to abandon allie's knowing they are going to be faceing a difficult battle. Beside's I'm alway's ready for a good fight. You don't have to worry about our safety, the three of us are very good in battle. We've all been through enough of them." Shippou say's.
"With your permission Govenor, we'll send our ship on to Port Royale to wait for us. Our Captain can keep the crew in line until we arrive there. I would how ever suggest that You keep your Daughter here with you. Our crew is mainly warrior's as well as sailor's. Some are not as trust worthy as I would like. I could not swear for her safety among them." Sesshomaru say's.
"If you feel that would be for the best Lord Sesshomaru, then we welcome your help. Thank You for your help gentlemen." Govenor Swann say's.
{I'll go back and tell the Captain that we'll be going with them, and for them to proceed on to Port Royale. I'll also tell him to keep all of the crew on board until we arrive.} Shippou say's.
*We watch as Shippou goes back aboard the other ship. He talk's to the Captain, then he goes below deck to get some thing's. He soon return's with a small sack strapped to his back.*

Chapter 7
"But why did you do this for me lass?"
"Because no one should be judged for something that they've done in the past. Beside's everyone deserve's a second chance Jack."
"Thank you lass." he say's as he pull's her into a hug. She stand's there stiffly for a moment, and then she relaxes and return's his hug.

The boat has finally reached shore and a man with a white wig and a dressier uniform than the rest of the men were wearing, climbed out of the boat.
"You're safe Elizabeth, I and you're father had hoped that it was you that had made the signal fire. I see that Turner and Sparrow found you. Where is Turner anyway?" He ask's her.
"He gave himself to them so they would release me Commadore, we have to rescue him before they kill him." She tell's him.
"We'll discuss it when we return to the 'Dauntless' Elizabeth. You're father is waiting to see you." he replies. He then notice's the stranger, wearing two sword's strapped to his back standing by Jack.

"I'm from Japan, Miss Elizabeth. The trip was just supposed to be a short jaunt, at least until the storm came up. The storm must of blew us far off course for it to finally go down in the caribbean.."
"How will you get back home then? Stranger's aren't welcomed in Japan, so it will be hard for you to find a ship that will take you there." Elizabeth say's.

Every one start's loading into the boat's except for Kagome. She look's at them for a moment, until Elizabeth notice's her.
"Kagome, what is it?"
"I need to go and get my bag, and my thing's from the campsite. Will you wait for me to get them?"
"Yes, we'll wait for you Miss Kagome. Would you like someone to go with you to help carry them back?" Commadore Norrington ask's her.

"Inescapably clear." Jack answer's.

"Who is this young man Commadore?" The govenor ask's.

"Yes, didn't you mention that you had met him Miss Kagome?" the Commadore ask's her.
"Yes, I have had the honor of meeting Lord Sesshomaru, several time's actually. Why do you ask Commadore?"
"Do you have any kind of idea how we should try to deal with him?" the govenor ask's her.
"Well, if you want to deal with him well. Never lie to him, he dispise's liar's. Show that you have honor and treat other's with honor. Honor is very important to him. He appear's emotionless to everyone who doesn't know him, but he does feel thing's deeply. If he consider's you a friend or someone in his protection he will do whatever it take's to keep you safe. He will consider you as honorable and trust worthy for going after Mr Turner. It's what he would have done in your place."
"I guess that it's a good thing that your going to rescue Will then isn't it, Father? It wouldn't have boded well in dealing with Lord Seehomaru if you hadn't." Elizabeth say's.
"No I guess it wouldn't have. What kind of clothe's are you wearing Elizabeth? I've never seen an outfit like it." Govenor Swann say's.
"Yes you have. Kagome's out fit is almost identical to this one except for the color. She loaned it to me so that I wouldn't have to go around in my slip. I must say that it is one of the most comfortable outfit's that I've ever worn in my life. Kagome do a lot of women dress in clothe's like these in Japan?" she ask's.
"No they don't. As far as I know there is only two other's and myself that dress like this. At least I've not ever seen any other women dress like this."
"Do you know how to fight with the sword's on your back Miss Kagome, or are they part of your disguise?" Commadore Norrington ask's.
"I know how to use them very well Commadore Norrington. I have been in several battle's in the last ten year's."
"You've been in battle's? Why were you in battle's?" Govenor Swann ask's.
"Yes, I've been in battle's. I wanted to help my friend's, and I've alway's hated feeling defenseless."
*I have to hide my smile at there amazed expression's. I bet there jaw's would drop if they knew that Sesshomaru had been my sensai, or I had fought alongside of him for the last several year's. I turn from them and walk over to the railing.
I flare my aura in hope's that Sesshomaru is close enough to sense it. I know that if he is he'll come straight to it. I have a feeling that we'll need him in the up coming battle. Beside's I can't wait until we get to Port Royale to see him. It will be great to see a familar face. Who know's maybe some of my other companion's will be with him. I miss them.
I hear them discussing stratigy behind me, and from what I'm hearing they don't have a clue that the pirate's that we'll be facing can't be killed until the curse is lifted. I wonder why Elizabeth doesn't tell them? Unless she's afraid that if they know they won't go after Will. I bet that's why she doesn't say any thing about it.
After about an hour I sense a very familar aura's approaching us. After another hour I see a ship appear on the horizan. It is huge, and almost all white. Leave it to Sesshomaru to have a white ship. I hear a sailor in the crow's nest call out that they see a ship approaching. As it get's close enough to make out detail's on the ship. The first thing I notice is that it's flying two flagg's. The top one is a little larger than the other and it's the Japanese flag, the other one has a large paw print on it. Which is Sesshomaru's family crest. I hear the Commadore say something to the Govenor as the other ship come's along side of us.*
"They are flying a Japanes flag. Do you think that it is Lord Sesshomaru's ship?" the Commadore ask's.
"If it is, then he's not going the most direct route to Port Royale. This is quite a distance from the route that he should be on. I'm rather curious as to why he's so far off course?" The Govenor say's.
*I stand there watching the other ship as it get's closer to the 'Dauntless'. I see that Shippou and Sesshomaru are standing at the railing of the other ship. I grin when I see them. I wave at them.*
{Long time No see guy's!}
{Only you are able to get lost in another time trying to go home Gome!} Shippou say's.
{Are you well Kagome?} Sesshomaru ask's.
{I'm fine Fluffy. I'm just glad to see some familar face's! The Govenor and Commadore have been asking me on how to deal with you. I guess he want's to make a good impression on you. I never thought I would live to see the day that you would trade with foriegnor's.}
{You alway's said that would be the wisest course, to deal with them and not to start a war with them. Have you changed your mind on the matter?} Sesshomaru ask's.
{No I've not changed my mind about it Fluffy. War against one of the strongest country's in the world is never wise. It's great to see you two again, by the way how do I introduce Shippou to them?}
{I'm the Southern Lord now, Gome. Your companion's are getting impatient, I guess that you should introduce every one.}
{Do you two remember the english that I taught you?}
{Of course we do Kagome, we have had over two hundred year's to practice it.} Sesshomaru say's.
"Kagome do you know them?" Elizabeth ask's me
"Yes I do know the two that I was talking with. Commadore do you care to tye the ship's together, that way I can make formal introduction's with every one."
"Of course Miss Kagome."
"Is this Lord Sesshomaru's Ship?" Govenor Swann ask's.
"Yes it is. I also was told that the Southern Lord is on board. He also want's to set up a trade agreement with the British."
*I stand there and watch as the two ship's are tied together. Once the ship's were secure Sesshomaru and Shippou came aboard. I have to grin as the Govenor and everyone on the ship act flustered at the sight of the two. Sesshomaru is 6'9" in height, his hair is still long and silver, his eye's are still the same intense gold color that I remember, and let's not forget his almost all white clothe's and his sword's. Shippou is taller now than he was at 15. He's now 6'7" in hieght, his red hair is almost as long as mine is, he's still wearing it in a pony tail, his eye's are still the bright emerald that they have alway's been, and he is now wearing a dark blue outfit with a sword strapped to his waist. Sesshomaru and Shippou look me over. Sesshomaru nod's his head to me and Shippou walk's to me and pull's me into a fierce hug. I return it just as fiercely while trying to fight back tear's. Shippou is talking to me quietly trying to keep me from crying.*
{Mom, I'm here. Please don't cry, you know I can't stand to see you cry. I promise that I'll never let anything happen to you. You mean to much to me, to everyone. I've missed you Mom. I'm so happy that we finally found you. I alway's knew that you were still alive some where. Mom I love you so much.} Shippou say's.
{I love you too Shippou, and I've missed you and everyone else. Even though I've only been away from there for a couple of day's, it feel's like I've been gone a life time.}
{It has been a life time to us, it's been over two hundred year's since we have seen you Kagome. I see that your wearing Inuyasha and Tawny's birthday present. I must admitt that you look good in green, but you do look better in white. How did you get here?} Sesshomaru say's in a monotone.
{The well spit me out and I landed in the ocean not far from an island. I swam to it, the next day the Govenor's daughter and Jack were marrooned there by pirate's. Elizabeth built a huge signal fire that was spotted from the ship. They rescued us from the island. We've been aboard for a little over two hour's.}
* I step out of Shippou's hug and stand there with his arm laying across the top of my shoulder's. Sesshomaru step's closer to me and put's one of his hand's on my shoulder and the other one he used to raise my chin up so I'm looking him in his eye's. I see all the emotion that he's feeling showing in his eye's. I step closer to him and give him a fierce hug, he gently return's it. I feel so safe and loved, being with these two again. After a minute or two we both stand back from each other. They both stand on either side of me as we turn toward the people behind us.*
"I guess introduction's are in order, Govenor Swann, Commadore Norrington, I would like to present to you Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Shippou. They are the Western and Southern Lord's in Japan."
*Sesshomaru and Shippou bow slightly to them. Govenor Swann and the Commadore look at the three of us in amazement. I guess I was right when I assumed that if they knew that I was as close to these two as I am, that they would be amazed.*
"Kagome I thought that you said that you had just met Lord Sesshomaru several times, you never mentioned that you were close to him or to the Southern Lord." Elizabeth say's.
"All any of you asked is what I knew of him, not if I knew him personally."
"I am grateful to all of you for rescueing Kagome. She is very dear to both of us." Shippou say's.
"Yes, I too am grateful for you rescueing her. She feel's like a younger sister to me. One of the reason's that we both agreed to trade with you were we were hoping to find her or at least find out what happened to her. We are very glad to find that she is alive and well. It would have been a sad task to have to return home and tell our family's that we still had no word of her or of her where about's." Sesshomaru say's in a monotone.
"I'm glad that you two are here. They are going to rescue a young man from a group of pirate's and your skill's could become very handy in the up coming battle. {Because until a curse is lifted from them they can't be killed. No one except Jack, Elizabeth, and I know this. Elizabeth didn't want to tell them because she was afraid that if they knew it they wouldn't go after him.}"
"There is no need for you to become involved Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Shippou, I would however be very grateful if you would take my daughter with you on to Port Royale. We should be more than capable to rescue Mr Turner. There is no need to put yourselves in danger." Govenor Swann say's.
"No we insist on helping you do this, if only to repay you for rescueing Kagome. Beside's it not honorable to abandon allie's knowing they are going to be faceing a difficult battle. Beside's I'm alway's ready for a good fight. You don't have to worry about our safety, the three of us are very good in battle. We've all been through enough of them." Shippou say's.
"With your permission Govenor, we'll send our ship on to Port Royale to wait for us. Our Captain can keep the crew in line until we arrive there. I would how ever suggest that You keep your Daughter here with you. Our crew is mainly warrior's as well as sailor's. Some are not as trust worthy as I would like. I could not swear for her safety among them." Sesshomaru say's.
"If you feel that would be for the best Lord Sesshomaru, then we welcome your help. Thank You for your help gentlemen." Govenor Swann say's.
{I'll go back and tell the Captain that we'll be going with them, and for them to proceed on to Port Royale. I'll also tell him to keep all of the crew on board until we arrive.} Shippou say's.
*We watch as Shippou goes back aboard the other ship. He talk's to the Captain, then he goes below deck to get some thing's. He soon return's with a small sack strapped to his back.*
