Overboard
Chapter 1
Overboard
"I…" Inuyasha threw his head over the side of the boat.
"Are you feeling ok Inuyasha?" Sango asked patting him gently on the back.
He lifted his head, his face was pale and he had bags under his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, and then quickly flung his head back over the side.
"Sango, what's wrong with him?" Kagome asked as she walked over.
She had on a red 1 piece bathing suite and had a white lily tucked behind her ear. Sango had on a pink two- piece with a see-through white wrap.
"He's sea sick." Answered Sango.
"Hey girls! Want some food?" called Miroku.
He had on dark green shorts and a large colourful flowered necklace. Sango pointed to his face in shock.
"Miroku-is that- it's not-"
Yes, there was a bright red lipstick kiss on his cheek. Inuyasha turned around, his face still pale from sea sickness. He looked at the tray Miroku held and hurled right there.
"Clean up on front deck…"
"Clean up on front deck…"
Later that day Kagome stood among lots of people dancing around on the cruise ship deck. Miroku was surrounded by lots of giggling girls, and the next moment by angry girls about to slap him. Sango strolled over handing her a Pińacolada. Kagome glanced at the crowd and saw a tray of drinks float among the people.
"D-did you just see that?"
They watched in disbelief as the tray floated towards them.
"Hey girls! Wanna drink?" Shippo's head popped up from under the tray.
"Shippo are you giving out drinks!?"
"I'm just being helpful. Plus the bar tender said these have a lot of kick. Want one?"
Shocked and slightly disturbed Kagome picked up Shippo and Sango followed, as they went bellow deck. The boat began to slosh around violently.
"WHOA!" Shippo yelled as he slid through Kagome's arms.
Inuyasha opened his door; his face was still a bit pale.
"What's going on? Your not bringing the party down here are you?!"
The boat lurched to the other side. Shippo slid across the floor in circles complaining like mad. An old man came flowing down the stairs along with a gush of water! The water plowed into them with all its power. Inuyasha was kicking and sputtering, while Shippo clung to Sango's head wailing at the top of his lungs.
SLAM
The 4 of them slammed into a wall. The water was picking up as Sango got out of the water and scrambled up a small flight of stairs. Inuyasha climbed out as well, urging Kagome to hurry up. Shippo feverishly tried to scramble up the slippery stairs, but another large wave pulled him back in. A stand-up coat hanger hit poor Shippo on the head, knocking him out instantly. Inuyasha had ran back down and just pulled Shippo out. Shippo's eyes were swirls and he mumbled about how salt should never be eaten with butterflies.
They stormed out onto the deck. Water flooded the deck and people ran around madly. One crazy man was playing the banjo, singing about the Titanic. Shippo awoke as a crazed light brown haired teen ran past them screaming: "I'M GONNA DIE!" over and over again.
They ran down the water logged deck and past an old gray haired man chugging down drinks.
"Sango look out!"
Miroku dove at Sango, sending them both flying. Inuyasha gasped as a huge wave crashed down on him.
"Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome and Shippo in unison.
All the life boats were sailing away from the sinking cruise ship. There was aloud crack, and a large chunk from the boat broke off. The boat crunched and tilted downwards. Kagome and Shippo slid down towards the cold merciless ocean.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled as she attempted to save her. Miroku stopped her.
"Don't worry, I'll get her."
"Don't forget about me!" hollered Shippo.
Miroku slid down after them. Crew members jumped off the sinking ship, breaking another piece of the boat. Shippo clawed the deck madly, trying to stop his downwards momentum. He scrambled up onto a sliding chair, and jumped onto an over-turned piano. He leaped into the safety of the upside down bar. Miroku reached for Kagome's hand, but they were both swallowed up by the ocean. The boat lurched hard downwards and Sango slipped. She plummeted into the bar, along with a small girl crying for her mother.
"I want off this boat, I can't swim and I want my mommy!" she wailed clutching Sango's arm.
"Don't worry, we'll find her, tell me what she looks like."
Tears streamed down her face as she told Sango. The boat was halfway in the water when the sound of a woman calling for her child floated into her ears.
"LINA! LINA!"
The little girl reacted to the call.
"MOMMY! Over there! She's over there!"
Sango saw her on a lifeboat and lifted Lina onto her back. She leaped from the bar onto a thick railing. The bar began to fill with water as Sango leaped and soared through the air towards the lifeboat. She landed on a piece of debris, and handed Lina into her mothers' outstretched arms.
"Thank you!"
The lifeboat full of people drifted away leaving her alone. Just then Shippo floated over on the round serving tray.
"SANGO!"
Sango lifted him up off the tray and he shook himself like a dog to get some of the water off.
"Thanks Sango!" he patted her knee, and paused. "Where is Inuyasha?" he began to panic. "Kagome and Miroku?" He plopped down sadly beside her.
"Where is everybody?"
Sango replied with sad bitterness.
"All overboard."
