Chapter 9: An Escape From Jail

At the jail

"I atta ring their necks right now!" Miroku said while picking the lock with the sharp part of a bone. While he was doing this, he heard the door starting to open. Miroku stopped and fell to the floor on his back trying to look as if nothing was wrong.

It turned out to be the young man that he had fought earlier.

"Where is the ship going." Inuyasha demanded.

"Why do you want to know?" Miroku asked, a little disappointed he didn't get a 'hello' from him. "If its about them attacking this place or something, you can count me out."

"And why is that?" Inuyasha asked, a little annoyed.

"Because I see no profit for me." Miroku answered.

Inuyasha semi leaned on the bars of the cell with an annoyed look on his face.

"Look, they took Sakura." Inuyasha said.

"Oh! So there is a girl." Miroku said, a little surprised that the captain was captured. Miroku sat there pondering if he should help the boy out or get hurt by both his captains.

"I can get you out of here. That can be your profit." Inuyasha said, breaking Miroku out of his thoughts.

"How's that, the keys ran off." Miroku said.

"I build these cells. You just gotta have the right leverage." Inuyasha told Miroku.

"What's your name boy?" Miroku asked.

"Inuyasha Higurashi." Inuyasha answered.

"Ah, yes. A good, strong name. No doubt your father named you." Miroku said.

"Yes. How'd you know?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well Inuyasha. I changed my mind. If you get me out of here. I'll help you find and rescue this Sakura of yours." Miroku said, putting his hand through the bars and then shook hands with Inuyasha.

"Ready? 1…2…3 left." And with that the cell door fell to the ground with a clatter.

"They will have heard that. Lets go." Inuyasha said.

"Not without my things." Miroku said as he grabbed his stuff and followed Inuyasha out of the jail.
