Skylar

Chapter 3

That night, Kagura was sitting next to a fire that Rin had made. Sesshoumaru was sitting off to the side, leaning against a tree. His golden hues were idoly staring at the fire, watching the flames lick up into the cool night air. Jaken was asleep, leaning against Ah-Un, who was fast asleep, laying flat on the ground, with its two heads laying next to eachother ontop of its front paws. And Rin had been sitting next to Sesshoumaru, but she'd moved over to Kagura.

"Is it story time now?" Rin asked. "Oh yeah…Sure." Kagura smiled at Rin.

And so Kagura began to tell Skylar's story… She surprised even herself by how well she remembered her 'past life,' though she knew it wasn't that long ago.

"Sir, though I am not splenetive and rash,

Yet have I in me something dangerous.

The cat will mew, and dog will have his day."

A large, normal-looking ship was docked at a port in Dover, England. The ship had multiple, pale red sails, and was made with rather nice wood. Most of the crew was in the town, seemingly just wandering. However, there were a few people on the ship, arguing about something on the deck. One of the people included a black-haired woman that had a bright red bandana wrapped around her head. Red hues were narrowed in the direction of the dock manager. Two others, being her ship-mates, were two brunette men that were also glaring at him. One of the woman's ship-mates was not interested whatsoever in defending her, and was sitting on the railing at the bow.

"I need to see the captain!" Demanded the dock manager. "I am the captain, sir." The woman responded, looking pissed. "No sane man would let a woman captain their ship. Don't try to dupe me!" He said. "None of us are mad! Well, very few of us are…" One of the crew retaliated. The woman shook her head, annoyed. "That was not a good way to respond to that," she said, bopping him on the head.

"Whatever, I must say this entire ship is rather suspicious! Who has red sails!" "We do." The woman said. "Besides the obvious! Well, Captain Skylar, you need money to dock on this port." She rolled her eyes, and looked to the man sitting on the railing of the bow. "Yo, Nacht! You got any pounds?" He glanced up at her, then tossed her a little bag full of coins and bills. She caught it and took out two of the coins, giving them to the annoying man. "Very well, you may dock here…" He started walking off the ship, and Skylar tossed the bag back to Nacht. "Thanks." He caught it without looking up, and just tied it back to his belt without saying a word.

"Thank the gods he's finally gone, eh?" One of the men said. "You could say that again." The other nodded. "Weren't you guys gonna go wand'ring with Riv?" Skylar asked. "Oh yeah… Where's she?" And a little girl named River popped out of one of the trap doors that was in between them. "And Riv appears!" She exclaimed. The two men jumped back slightly, and Skylar just crossed her arms. "Just as lively as ever, eh?" River grinned and nodded, climbing out of the trap door. River looked like she was about ten years old, with short strawberry-blonde hair, and blue eyes. "Come, Kairo and Drake!" She started skipping toward the dock, and the men followed.

Skylar's red hues moved themselves over to view Nacht, as she sighed. "Aren't ya gonna do anything more active than starin' at the ocean?" He glanced up, black hues as cold as ever. "I prefer not to associate myself with those people." He said calmly, index finger pointing towards the town. "Whatever you say… I guess you can watch the ship. I'm going into town, all right?" He nodded, looking back into the ocean. She sighed, and started walking away. "Dover, here I come…"

A/N: Lalala. Short chapter, I must apologize. It just seemed like a good place to end. Anyway, I just started school! Well, three weeks ago. I transferred to a different district so I could be in this art school. 'Tis really awesome. I'm rather surprised I actually like, made friends already. XD::Watches Firefly: River was like, "Too much hair." And the other girl was like "He's putting the hair away now…You can come out." Then she was like, "No…it will still be there…waiting…" XD! So anyway… The next chapter's about Skylar in town… Still working on what's gonna happen. xD
