I'm too lazy to talk now so let's get on with the story.
Chapter 1-Secret Plans
The deck was practically empty of all life, except one person...Kagome. She sat up on deck and watched as the sun rose up the from behind the dark depths of the sea.
"Kagome, why are you still awake?"Koga asked walking up on deck.
"I've been awake all night...just...staring at the sea..."
"It's not good for women not to sleep, when they're tired they're useless"
"I'll live" she sneered.
"My wife, you are a very odd person."
"DON'T...call me that. I won't be your wife if I have anything to do with it"
"Soon we will see...soon we will. Then hopefully you'll learn to be a proper wife. If not you'll have to be taught...away somewhere"Koga said leaving. Kagome stood shocked at what he just said.
'They might actually send me way?'
Sir, yonder is a merchant boat. Looks royal too" the lookout yelled.
"Well then...gentlemen, let's pay 'em a visit" Inuyasha answered.
"Aye, aye cap'n. Full speed ahead!" Miroku ordered.
"Hey Miro, come 'ere"
"What is it?"
"Look there on deck"
"Ahhh...the captain perhaps...look alive people! Let's pay this merchant a visit"
"Kagome, you've been awful quiet all day. So spill,"
"Oh I'm fine Sango...just...thinking. That all" she said putting on a fake smile.
"Come on. I know you better than that...Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked in a concerned voice.
"It's Koga...he...he said that we might be sent away...to a boarding school to learn to be a "proper wife"...Sango...I don't want to marry him..I don't like him...and I certainly don't love him and I don't want to go back either. I want to stay here, on the sea. Far away...where the wind takes me"
"I know exactly how you feel...to just runaway at times...but we have duties"
"Fuck the duties! I want freedom! They think we're different from them and you know it! This marriage is only to boost our social status and give them more power. I'm not going back Sango...I want you to come with me...you could be remembering this day 5 years from now, remembering the life you almost had. Sitting by a window in your room, watching as ships come and go everyday and you're stuck here...Don't you want to see the world?"
"Kagome...you're right. There's nothing back there for us. And I'd rather walk the plank than be Mrs. Sagara for the rest of my life"
"Good! The next ship we see, we'll get onto and sail away...without looking back"
"Dear Lady Sango, would you like to accompany me for dinner?"
"Why nor?" 'I'll need all the energy I can get for our escape...'
Splendid!" he said grabbing her hand. He led her into a large diningroom where Koga and Kagome were already sitting. What attracted her attention was the constant cup of liquid that kept going into Kagome's mouth.
"Uhh...Kagome? Hopw mant cups of that stuff have you had?"
"I don't know. But it's really good" she said before gulping another cup.
"You shouldn't be drinking all of that. It might be some kind of liquor"
"Hah! That's rum. One of the strongest liquors there is. Not even many men can down as much as her, for their first time" Koga exclaimed. (I do not know if this is true but since you all adore me you'll believe what I say.)
"Then why didn't you stop her!"
"It would be the first time I ever courted a drunk girl"
"Why you..." Sango hissed. All of the sudden she ducked, and behind her a cannon the size of a dist came flying through the window breaking it.
"Pirates" the men hissed.
"Miladies, stay here where it's safe." they said rushing out the door.
"Kagome, get all your valuables and anything that'll pose a price later down the road and then meet me outside of their cabins" Sango directed.
"Yeah...sure" Kagome slurred before downing another cup of rum.
"Come on men! Get whatever you can find"
"Inuyasha it's been a while...I didn't know you'd stoop so low as to join pirates"
"Oh Koga, didn't you hear...I lead them" Inuyash said unsheathing his sword.
"Is it a fight you want?"
"Would I be standing here if I weren't...hey guys! Get all the loot you can find and get on the boat and wait for me...I've got some unfinished business to deal with"
"Aye, aye cap'n!" the men shouted.
"I have always dreamed of this day...the day when I finally get to wipe that smirk you always have off your face...but I'll leave my sword to give tongue to my feelings:" then he charged at him with full force. Inuyasha sidestepped him and slashed through his pant leg, leaving a major cut which started bleeding.
"Lucky shot..." Koga mumbled. Inuyasha smirked and took his defensive stance. And then Koga went head on. Their blades made a large clank that seemed to echo over the entire ship.
"You know...while you've been out sailing, your brother has taken over"
"He was preparing for it before I left what's the difference? It won't effect me" Inuyasha scoffed.
"But here's news to you. Soon I'm going to have the most powerful kingdom. I have already agreed to marry one of the orphaned princesses of the Eastern Kingdom. With this merger, our kingdoms put together will far exceed your own and we will be even stronger than your kingdom."
"I pity the poor girl who is going to have to wake up to your face everyday for the rest of her life" Inuyasha snickered.
"Koga! Stop screwing around and help me get our stuff back!" Kalinoske screamed. He was running around frantically trying to stop the pirates from taking all their stuff but to no avail.
"Cap'n! That's all of it!" Miroku shouted.
"Good let's go...it's been a wonderful time but we really must be leaving." he said before swinging on a rope back to his ship.
'You may have won the battle...but you have yet to win the war...it is I who possess the key to it all'
