Chapter V: Hey, Princess
She was not at all a liar, which does not explain her lying once again, but in order to survive, she was willing to tell the biggest tale tell of her life. Survival of the fittest, baby, and that's all she's trying to do were to survive. Kagome smiled nicely as Sango was guiding her through the ship, it seemed as soon as she mentioned her special "talents" everybody was considerably nicer to her, including Inuyasha, if calling her an ungrateful slut was considered as nice.
But, all and all, everybody was just grateful for her, last night; she was awakened to great food and invited to a party. The nights before she admitted to her talents, everybody ignored her and threw food at her face and when it spilled all over the floor, they just laughed and said 'enjoy your meal, bitch'.
She was liking the way that they were treating her now, now, once they figured out that she was lying… well, she hope that they'll be kind enough to let her jump the plank.
"And this, this is Inuyasha's room, nobody goes in there but Inuyasha, so don't."
"How did Inuyasha get this ship? It's beautiful and looks pretty costly too even my father doesn't have a ship like this and he's King!"
Sango looked around before flushing, "I haven't have the slightest—hey there's Hojo, looks like he's in need of assistance, I gotta go."
Sango whispered to Hojo before they both looked at her and then hurried off without even a wave goodbye. That's funny; it seemed that they may be hiding something from her, oh well, now where did Sango say where the kitchen's was, she was starving.
Dumb fiery wench, she didn't even know royalty if it hit her in the goddamn head. So, what if he was an alcoholic, losing his treasures to a fucked up demon kind of does that to a person. Slawgans was just some name he adapted passing through, he realized that in order to gain all his treasures back he would just have to steal it back under the disguise of Captain Slawgans, a harden pirate. Oh, my he was so brilliant.
Okay, so a few people recognize him, big deal, it's not like anybody believed the person. They haven't seen Inuyasha and Sesshomaru in years, plus, Inuyasha never left the palace so a select few knew who he was and all he had to do is threatened them a few, throw a few coins at them and then knock them out.
It was quite simple, plus, he might not even return to being royalty, that's what gotten him into this mess and messing around with that slut Duchess Kikyou, well that definitely ruined him especially since she was messing around with some fucked up demon named Naraku. Well, he really didn't care, all he needed was the Shikon Jewel and he'll never be messed with again!
What a dumb plan especially since he had no idea were to begin. He had a map but honestly, when he was so use to everybody reading and doing everything for him he didn't even remember how to read a map. But that girl—be honest, Inuyasha, you know she's lying. Yeah, so, it still gave him so hope, maybe she could find the jewels and then—
Inuyasha took another swing of Jack Daniels as Miroku slipped in.
"Hello, Prince Charming."
"Oh good God, it's you, monk. What do you want?" Inuyasha poured himself a glass before sipping on it, "Are you going to bother me once again about returning home, to beg my father for some funds?"
"Actually, I was going to ask you about that offer with that princess."
Inuyasha raised a single eyebrow, "I already told you about that."
"And…"
"You know the answer, Miroku."
Miroku scoffed, "Ugh, I hate it when you get all dignified on me."
"Who the hell are you calling dignified!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.
"If the shoe fits!"
"The shoe doesn't fit because I don't have one on!"
"That's beside the point."
"Oh, is it, lecher?"
"Prince Charming." Miroku snarled.
"Pervert."
"How insulting." Miroku mocked.
Inuyasha smirked, "Wasn't trying, I was merely speaking the truth."
"Ugh, once again with all this proper talk. I thought after years of being a pirate that you'll lose that proper dialect."
"And I thought after years of being a pervert, you'll drop all act that you're holy."
"I am very holy. I got Buddha oh my side."
With that they both burst into laughter, patting each other on the backs while pouring some Whiskey that was sitting on the desk. As anybody could tell, Inuyasha loved to drink and what he loved more than drinking was—nothing actually. Inuyasha wiped the tears that sprung from his face from laughing so much and he slumped against his chair.
"I can't keep giving myself away." Inuyasha muttered, "I almost slipped yesterday when Hojo asked me if I preferred Jack Daniels or red wine, I almost said wine but only nobles like wine."
"You've been doing a pretty good job pretending that you're a filthy lawless pirate! Why, you almost had Sesshomaru fooled."
"Thank God that he hides in his room all day because if he didn't it would be so obvious." Inuyasha scratched his head, "I'm so fucking tired of drinking Jack Daniels all day, I hate Jack Daniels, and all I want is some Brandy but all there is fucking Whiskey, red wine and Jack Daniels. As soon as we find the Shikon Jewel—"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, you're going to destroy Naraku."
"I'm going to that after I have some Brandy and a massage from one of those nice girls at my Kingdom."
Miroku sighed leaning back, obviously daydreaming, "Oh yeah, those girls, man they were so beautiful. Why couldn't we bring one along with us?"
"Why do I even bother conversing with you?"
"Once—"
Inuyasha interrupted, "I swear—"
"Captain Slawgans?"
Miroku raised an eyebrow as Inuyasha slumped on the table, looking as drunk as he possibly can, "Who the hell is calling?"
The young princess peak her head in before waltzing in and closing the door, "I have a question."
"Whatever question you have can wait in the morning. I have a—headache."
"Who gives a damn about your damn headache? I have a question about that Shikon Jewel!"
"Ask away." Inuyasha slurred, Miroku stifled a chuckle before glancing at Inuyasha again, "Not like I can stop you."
"Excuse your lackeys, Captain Slawgans."
Inuyasha raised his head, dismissing Miroku with a wave. If he was thinking clearly, he would've noticed that that was not a pirate way to dismiss somebody but since nobody was noticing, it didn't bother him. He rolled his eyes as he offered a seat to Kagome while pouring a glass of Whiskey.
"Whiskey for the lady?"
"No, th—"
"I insist." Inuyasha interrupted, pouring her a glass, "Now, what is—"
"Are you feeling all right? You're talking differently—"
Inuyasha started choking taking a swing of the Whiskey. He had to stay on his toes and act brash, how could this be so fucking hard! "What the fuck are you talking about, bitch? I'm talking just fine; now, tell me what you want for I can continue sleeping off my hangover."
Perfect, he should be getting paid for how long he's been deceiving these fools. Kagome blinked before nodding, "I was wondering if you had any clue where the Shikon Jewel is."
"Of course not, you dumb twit!" He snapped.
"I do."
"You…"
"Yeah, I do." She mumbled, "Actually, I just have a hunch."
"Well, you know what they say about hunches."
"What do they say?" Kagome asked.
"I was asking you." He smirked, "Now when you seek out a harden pirate you should expect that I would want something from you."
"What do you want?"
He smiled coyly, "You look really beautiful tonight. If you want to leave with your virtue, I suggest you leave now."
With that Kagome scattered out of the room. Inuyasha laughed out loud, he really loved playing the bastard, he could act like a complete ass and nobody would fault for it.
"What the hell did you say to her? She ran out of there like a bat out of hell."
"Oh, I don't know but I have a feeling that these exchanges between the princess and I are going to be pretty interesting, plus, I think that's going to be the answer to all our problems."
He was such a bastard sometimes. Really, he was.
Miroku slipped in as Inuyasha smiled, "Find the nearest land and let's put this bitch to test."
Yeah, once again, I've been gone for a couple months. How shocking! Sorry, I should add more of an exchange between Inuyasha and Kagome but there will be soon especially in the next chapter. I'll try not to take another couple of months to update, I swear.
