Disclaimer: If I owned the Inuyasha gang, kagome would fall madly in love with Sesshomaru, and inuyasha would bring me pocky everyday!
Sesshomaru stood at the bow of the ship. It was bad enough that a woman was still sailing with them, but when she begins to make him question everything, he knew it made him angry for some unknown reason. He paced wondering if it were to be cruel to dump her, and her annoying friends off at the next town they happened upon. Somewhere in his deep thoughts, he missed the sounds of boots echoing as they came up from behind him a hand slapping down on his shoulder, making him reach for his already loaded gun.
Kagome gave a squeal as the loaded pistol took aim at her forehead.
"Gees, I was just coming to tell you that the little boy up in the crows nest said he saw land."
She gently pushed the gun away from her face before relaxing somewhat. He put the gun back in the holster before nodding his head.
"So, what were you thinking about over here?"
She asked, gaining only a silent stare that quickly turned back to the calm ocean. Kagome shook her head before looking out across the blue plane of water.
"Its beautiful, my father use to bring me fishing every day, then one day a storm came upon us quickly and we had no time to make it back. He tied me to a board before telling me one last thing."
She sighed remember the sad day that stilled plagued her.
A voice sprang up beside her.
"What did he say?"
Sesshomaru asked his curiosity getting the best of him.
"He told me not to fear the sea for she did not have emotions to fear like humans she was just being her self, and if you die at sea you never truly die you live among the sunken kingdoms, mermaids, and pearls, which lie at the bottom."
"Then before my eyes he was swept over board and I never saw him again."
"Inuyasha came upon me the next day lying on the beach passed out, his step-grandmother took me in and raised me as if I was her on daughter she taught me all the healing powers along with the miko powers I now have."
He watched as the land she had mentioned finally came into few her story still running through his head.
He watched her out of the corner of his eye, the way her hair blew in the gentle breeze and her face glistened from the spray of the ocean. He mentally shook his head; he would not fall for some village priestess.
Inuyasha loudly stomped up to the two his eyes falling on the small space that was between them. Growling low in the back of his throat, he gently nudged kagome out of the way taking up the little space between the two.
Sesshomaru smirked realizing how jealous his brother was. He decides to play on it and just see how angry he could make inuyasha. "Kagome, would have dinner with just me and rin tonight, she would be delighted to see her nurse."
"Of course I'll do anything for rin." Kagome said her eyes never leaving the ocean.
Inuyasha looked over at sesshomaru and glared, slowly he mouthed he wanted to talk to him alone.
The two walked off leaving kagome to her deep thoughts.
"What's the big idea sesshomaru? Kagome is my woman!" he spit out at his older brother.
"If I remember correctly koga already put that claim on her, but since I'm the captain and the oldest I will decide who gets whom."
His argent smirk never leaving his perfect face.
"Kagome is her on person, besides she would never go for someone like you!" his hand beginning to ball into a fist.
"We shall see little brother, we shall see."
Sesshomaru did not wait for a response but walked away leaving a pissed of inuyasha behind him.
Supper came sooner than expected, and as sesshomaru and rin waited the little girl came up with something new to torment sesshomaru with.
Then the twenty questions begun.
"Sesshomaru are you in love with kagome?"
"Miroku said you and kagome were going to roll in the hay."
"What did he mean?"
The more questions that came, the more sesshomaru felt like sinking into his velvet-lined chair.
"Are you going to marry kagome?"
"Can I baby-sit?"
"Were is kagome, is she late?"
The door opened at that moment saving sesshomaru from answering any of the questions that had poured from the little girl's mouth.
"I'm here rin, and I'm what you could call fashionably late."
Rin jumped from her chair and ran to cling to the now well-dressed woman.
Sesshomaru stared at kagome as if he had never seen something so beautiful but quickly changed his face back to the stoic sesshomaru.
She was dressed in a simple baby blue kimono that clung to her curves nicely but did not reveal too much probably so that rin would not get a bad impression.
Walking to the right of sesshomaru she sat her self down, and waited to be served not mentioning inuyasha had come to her earlier begging her not to go eat dinner with them.
Some of the cooking crew came in setting before them roasted fish with lemon sauce, with a side of mash potatoes, and peas.
She watched as the crew slowly walked back out before sesshomaru begin to cut into the still steaming fish.
In awkward silence and with only the clink of tableware the meal was consumed. When she could take it no longer, she started talking to rin.
"Rin do you feel better?"
Rin dropped her fork in surprise of the noise and stared blankly at kagome.
"Sesshomaru does not allow talking during dinner."
When she realized she had spoken she clamped her hands over her mouth and looked up at her big brother to see what he would do.
Sesshomaru just nodded signaling that rin could talk, and with a big grin she begin to chatter on an on about how much better kagome had made her.
By the end of dinner, kagome was some what wishing she had just stayed quit stared at the little girl as more questions ran forth from her.
"Where did you live before kagome?"
"Do you have any brothers?"
"Are you going to roll in the hay with sesshomaru?"
With that last question out of her mouth, sesshomaru told her to go and get ready for bed.
Kagome begin to blush the color of a tomato as she thought of the last question.
"Who… told her… we would every do such a thing?"
"I believe if she told me correctly it would be that monk friend of yours, miroku."
Anger came quick to kagome's eyes as she begins to think of ways to deal with the perverted monk.
"I'm sorry to leave so soon Captain Sesshomaru but I have a problem that needs to be dealt with."
"As you please kagome, but from now on I would like you to dine with us at dinner time."
Quickly adding in that it made rin happy.
"If it makes rin happy, Good night Captain."
With that, she was gone only the echoes of her boots quickly walking down the hallway reminded him she had just been there.
A few minutes later, a ghastly scream was heard all over the boat and sesshomaru only chuckled as he realized she had rushed off to punish the perverted monk.
The scream slowly died from the ringing ears of the crew in the mess hall as the watched the girl angrily kick the monk one last time, as her friend sango cheered her on and inuyasha fehed in the background.
"Next time miroku think before you speak to rin in such a way!" kagome spat before quickly walking over to the sappy smiling sango.
"Great job Kagome, I think you even scared some of the crew!"
Kagome only smiled as she brushed the fallen bangs back with her hand.
"A girl's work is never done, you know that sango."
Inuyasha slowly made his way over to them, but not before one of the men grabbed him and screamed.
"Don't go near her sir, she's from the deepest pits of hell. Look at what she did to yer poor monk friend over ere'." Inuyasha pulled his arm away and walked to where the two girls stood chatting.
"Hello inuyasha." Kagome said her voice back to the sweetness it usually held.
"Kagome, what did you and Sesshomaru talk about at dinner?"
"Why inuyasha I did not know you could be such…a nosy busy body!" With that, she smacked him over the head with a bowl and walked off to her cabin to catch up on so much needed rest.
For tomorrow they where finally stopping at a town.
