Disclaimer: No I do not own Inuyasha so there:P

Lol man! There's this chick named dramakagome and she keeps leaving me these crazy funny as hell reviews. Man I never get tired of her. XD

Chapter 7: The Battle

Kagome jerked forward as a huge cannon blast ripped threw the air.

"Captain!" She heard Miroku yell. "Ship off the port bow!"

"Bring up the sails! Load the guns!" he yelled turning into the fierce captain he was famed for being.

"Kagome!" Shippo ran over to her. "We have to go under!" he yelled.

"What?" it seemed all her wits had been stolen from her.

"I'm just a kid and you can't fight well yet. Come on!" he pulled on her hand and another cannon blast sent her running after him.

"Prepare for battle!" Silver shouted. "Kagome!" he turned to her.

"Captain?" she answered just a little afraid. She knew this was a pirate ship and attack was inevitable, but she didn't think she would have to see it.

Inuyasha saw the fear that she was trying to keep inside. Rikos had been teaching her about the ship, he knew that, he also knew she was almost as good as any of his crew now.

But she was not ready for battle yet. She was not ready to see bloodshed or even cause it.

So he changed his orders, "Get under into the cargo hold and stay there."

"Aye captain!" she said as if she wasn't going to do just that.

"I hate pirates." he said as Miroku walked over next to him.

"Me too. Always attacking us for no reason and shit." Inuyasha smirked evily to his friends response.

"I've been aching for a good fight." he popped his knuckles dangerously.

Miroku sighed. "I shall hate every second of it. But I will fight for my crew."

"Oi! This is my crew." Inuyasha said knowing his mate was screwing with him.

"Only until you die, mate." Miroku smiled as the first of their cannons blasted.

Kagome and Shippo ran deep into the belly of the ship no where near where the cannons blasted.

Kagome screamed slightly as another cannon shot his the ship causing it to rock.

"Come on, Kagome!" Shippo ran back to her obviously used to this kind of thing.

She nodded and followed him into the cargo hold and they hid together amid the boxes and crates.

Kagome covered her ears as one of their own cannons went off. She hated to act like such a steriotypical girl, but she was scared and she had never been in this situation before.

"It's okay, Kagome." Shippo said calmy. "Captain will beat them off then come back down and tell us we can leave."

"How do you know we'll win?" Kagome asked him.

Shippo looked at her like she was crazy. "Because the captain never looses."

Inuyasha stabbed someone from behind. Normally he wouldn't sink to something as low as attacking an enemy from behind, but the man had been about to do the same thing to Marir.

"Thanks Cap!" she said wiping her brow before returning to the fight.

Inuyasha had already moved on and was fighting a qiuck moving tiger demoness.

She managed to slice a small cut on his arm before he cut her down mercilessly.

Inuyasha was not a crual man, or he didn't think so. He didn't enjoy spilling so much blood, but these people would spill his just as quickly. And he had his crew and ship to protect.

He jumped from his ship to their attackers with a single leap and threw himself into fighting next to Miroku.

Back to back they fought off what remained of the crew on the opposite ship.

"Know who captains this ship wreck yet?" Inuyasha asked pulling his sword from a human man.

"That would be me." A huge giant walked over to them. If Inuyasha was around six feet tall, this man had to be at least ten.

"Wow, big boy." Inuyasha said not impressed.

Just another pirate who thought lokos and size were all that mattered.

"Do you think he's compensating for something?" Miroku asked causing the man to growl unimpressively.

"That's not how you growl." Inuyasha said growling back with a snarl. "This, is how you growl."

The man cried out in anger and swung at Inuyasha. He jumped nimbaly out of the way and landed a few more feet away.

"Too easy." He smiled showing his fangs.

"This is it. The cargo hold." Kagome and Shippo fell silent as they heard people they didn't know climb down to the hold.

"They got anything good?" A second man asked his voice alot more rough than the other's.

"Nah. Mostly food." They heard something being thrown on the floor. "Must have just made port."

"Man. We sacked this wreck for nothing." some more sounds of things being tossed around.

Shippo made a fist and acted like he was about to go after them. Kagome tried to grab him to pull him back but he left and disapeared in a cloud of smoke.

"What was that?" they came over to where she was and saw her hand still extended trying to catch Shippo.

"Who's there?" they called and she heard swords being drawn.

"BOO!" A huge pink blob with crazy eyes and tiny arms and legs floated down from the ceiling making wierd noises.

Kagome stuck her head from around the crate she was hidding behind and saw them looking at Shippo like they couldn't believe what they were seeing. But not like it was scaring them.

Kagome dropped her head into her hand as they busted out laughed.

"Arn't you scared?" A really fake deep voice asked.

"Of you?" The bigger of the two asked. "Not likely." He thrust his sword forward scaring Shippo and making him transform back.

"Ahhh!" he screamed running across the boxes being chased by the men.

"Come here and play with us little boy." the smaller one said with a sick smile.

Kagome crawled out of her hiding spot toward a large wooden board.

Shippo was scared and sad. Sad his attempt to scare them off, scared they were chasing him.

"Ahhh!" He screamed again jumping across another box.

The two men were hot on his heels as he turned a corner around two large crates stacked on top of each other.

The men made to follow but were stopped by a flying wooden board to their faces.

Kagome smacked them as hard as she could hitting the shorter one in the face and the taller in the neck.

The taller men started to choke and dropped his sword to grab his neck.

The other man fell back a few feet and grabbed his undoubtably broken nose.

"You bitch." He yelled running at her with his sword.

Kagome fought back as best she could with her board, which easily stopped the swords hits. But it took a toll on her weaker arms as his brute force slammed into them again and again.

"What are you doing?"

Kagome turned and saw the captain walking toward her looking fierce.

"Captain?" She asked. He should't be here because she still heard sounds of the battle above.

"Captain?" The man asked looked at him. "That's....that's....Captain Silver!" he turned and ran away in fear. His friend wasn't far behind still choking from Kagome's hit.

Kagome dropped the board and looked at Silver in confusion.

"Captain?"

"We sure scared them didn't we Kagome?" He asked smiling playfully.

Kagome had never seen that look on his face and got even more confused.

Until he disapeared in a cloud of smoke to be replaced by Shippo.

"Not bad, huh?" He asked looking proud of himself while Kagome laughed.

"Very good." She admired him still smiling.

Inuyasha snorted as the other captain went down with ease. "Boring." he said jumping back onto his ship as he felt this one starting to sink from the holes his crew was putting in their ship.

Inuyasha had taught his crew well. One half of their cannons fired directly at the ship trying to take out the opponents cannons and just causing damage. But the other half he had pointing down at the ships bottom to sink the ship quicker.

The men grabbed as much valubles as they could before the ship disapeared beneath the waves before jumping back on Inuaysha's ship.

The prisoners, he had none, so they were thrown out after the sinking ship and the crew cheered their victory.

But just before the ship disapeared two men came running out of the cargo hold screaming about terrifying pirates and jumping out after their ship without prompting.

Inuyasha raised his eyebrow as a giggling Shippo and Kagome emerged.

He jumped in front of them but the sight of him seemed to set them off further.

"Are you going to let me in on the joke?" He asked crossing his arms. He was trying not to give into his totally irrational disire to check Kagome over and make sure she was okay.

Shippo started rolling around on deck laughing so Kagome told him what had happened.

Inuyasha's eye twitched as he found out what Shippo had done.

"Well you faught off two pirates which is more than I thought you would be able to do. Good job." He said in particular to Kagome. Shippo had really only used Inuyasha's image and reputation to fight where as Kagome had actually taken physical blows.

Kagome blushed. "It was nothing. Shippo did everything."

"Not true. You fought yourself."

Kagome blushed harder and mumbled thanks.

"Good work everyone." Inuyasha said. "Who needs medical attention?" He asked.

A few bleeding and wounded raised their hands.

"I'll help." Kagome said immediatly going back into the cargo hold to get their medical supplies.

"Those who need it, line up here." Inuyasha said pointing to the starbord side.

Kagome came back a box of medicines in her hands.

"Know how to use those?" Inuyasha asked.

"In a village as small as mine, with a brother as small as mine, you pick up a few things." Kagome smiled and walked over to the injured.

Inuyasha checked his own cut and saw it already half healed and walked back to his chair.

He watched over the ship and was fiercly glad Miroku needed his own hand treated to so he didn't see all the glances Inuyasha stole at Kagome.
