Chapter 2

Welcome Aboard

Miroku and Kagome talked about their "boat."

"I've never seen such a big pot before!" exclaimed Kagome.

"I know, makes you wonder what they cook in this." Miroku said looking over the rim of the huge pot. The pot was so big it could fit 2 people in it…and float.

"How did we get in this anyway?" Kagome asked puzzled.

Miroku thought this over.

"I dunno, it's just a blur to me. Wait, we went under, and the pot floated up beneath us I'm guessing and-"

Kagome broke in.

"And we were bailing water out for nearly an hour to keep the pot afloat!"

"Uh- Kagome…"

"Yes?"

"Is that a boat?"

The next thing they knew they were waving and screaming: Over here! Over here!

Not long later the boat came and picked them up. Sure enough, they were pirates.

"Aie, lookie what the sharks dragged in!"

"I say we eat 'em!"

"Ready potatoes the get will I!"

The pirates turned to the last speaker.

"Cod, your speaking backwards again!"

Cod cleared his throat.

"I will get the ready- not it's potatoes ready- yea." He smirked and tried again. "I will get the POTATOES READY!"

The crew cheered and patted him on the back.

"Good Enfish Cod, good Enfish!" commented a fat man.

"Lets get these leech faced mongrels into the stew pot!"

"Aie, those yellow- bellied land-lovers 'aint gonna not gonna be in our stew pot!"

Kagome grew frustrated.

"You guys are pathetic!"

The crew gasped. Many surprised pirates mumbled out words of disbelief.

"Sh- she just insulted us…"

The crew all blinked simultaneously.

"Oi" one pirate piped up "We never did anything ta hurt ya, why did ya have ta go and insult us like that?"

"Yeah," said a man with an eye patch. "We 'ave feelings too yah know!"

"Well," piped up Miroku. "If you don't want any trouble, you better listen to us from now on!"

In a flash the pirates were in a huddle discussing Miroku's proposal. Finally they reached a decision.

"It 'as been confirmed that we- the crew- will a only be a listen'n ta her."

Kagome blinked.

"Me?"

The crew nodded. Miroku's jaw dropped.

"Oh why ok." Stammered Kagome still a bit bewildered. "Um- lets eat then."

They crew yelled in glory and headed down below deck for supper. A pirate trying to act like a gentle man offered to carry Kagome down the stairs. She refused due to there only being 3 steps. A pirate approached the stunned Miroku.

"I 'av duck tape to put your jaw back up." He chuckled and walked down bellow.

"Kagome…captain?" murmured Miroku.

"Pass the squid head!"

"I want more tatters!"

"We 'aint got no ketchup down on our'n end!"

"Can I- oh wait- gimmy the fish!"

"Pass the salt!"

Everyone froze. They all turned to Kagome. She looked around very bewildered.

"Salt want you?"

"Cod your going it again."

"Sorry…"

Miroku were half way up the stairs when the pirates noticed. Seconds later Kagome and Miroku were tied up and the man with the eye patch stood before them.

"Let's see 'ow you like salt on a deserted island! HAHAHAHAHA!"

They sailed out on a wooden lifeboat, put them on the island and sailed away,

"STUPID SALT LOVERS!"

Miroku and Kagome laughed. The pirates had forgotten to tie the end of the ropes in a knot. So they slid out…then it kicked in.

"We're alone on an island, and no one knows we're here! WE'RE GONNA DIE!"
