Special Thanks: to anyone who reviews.

Summary: As Boyo attempted to make his way to Souta, his flight came to a sudden halt amidst the winding limbs of the tree in their yard. Lodged between two branches, his pitiful cries filled the night air long after the others had left.

Unfortunately for Boyo, now was a bad time to discover a fear of heights.

Beware of Pixie Dust

Chapter 4

Laughing lightly, Kagome followed InuYasha as he weaved around the rooftops of Tokyo. Once he looked back at her, and she was almost sure that she had seen the makings of a smile in his eyes and the turned-up corners of his lips. Curious, she decided to investigate. With a sudden burst of speed, she flew forward until her head was even with his shoulder. Then out of the corner of her eye, she watched him as he flew. For some reason, the tension and anger present in him earlier had disappeared, only to be replaced by an almost child-like joy.

Abruptly, Kagome was startled from her musing as a clawed hand reached over and grasped onto hers. Her startled eyes flew over to meet his mysterious orbs.

"InuYasha?" she questioned.

He tightened his grip on her hand, "Follow me."

She shrieked as she followed the path of her hand sharply downward. Frightened, she closed her eyes tightly before cautiously opening them a moment later. The sight that met her terrified eyes would have been pleasant had she not been hurdling towards it. Rapidly approaching her were the quiet waters of the large pond in the town square. Fifteen feet from the water's crest, she balked. Jerking her hand out of InuYasha's grip, she hovered just a few feet above the water.

Angrily, she glared at him. Pointing at the water, she yelled, "What do you think you are doing? You can go swimming if you want, but there is no way that I am going in that water."

Annoyed, InuYasha grumbled, "We aren't going—." His voice stopped as he spotted two swans swimming side by side towards the far end of the pond. Abruptly, he darted away from Kagome and flew towards the swans.

Kagome watched transfixed as he hovered above the left swan then landed lightly on its back. The swan continued on its forward path completely unfazed by the foot on its back.

"Are you coming or are you going to spend all night gawking there?" InuYasha called over his shoulder.

"I'm coming," she ground out between clenched teeth.

Rapidly, she closed in on the swan to InuYasha's right. Then stepping lightly down, she placed her foot firmly on the swan's back.

"I did it!" she cried excitedly.

Hearing laughter, she looked into the sky above her and saw her friends gawking at the two of them. Unfortunately, when she turned her focus to her friends, she forgot about the swan. Almost immediately, she began to sink. Unknowingly, she had placed her full weight on the swan's back, and the bird could not hold her up.

InuYasha looked over just in time and rapidly snatched Kagome away from the water.

"What were you think—?"

InuYasha's words were cut off as a loud hiss directly below them reminded them that they were not alone. Both of them looked down into the furious face of the swan that Kagome had forced under the water, and immediately they flew back up to join the others.

"The life of a pirate—I was born to it. Rising from the lowest of ranks to become the first mate of the mightiest, most fearsome pirate the world has ever known. I, Jaken, am—"

A rotten orange interrupted the first mate's speech.

"Hey! Who do you think you are, Bankotsu?" Jaken yelled as he faced his tormentor. "When the captain finds out that—"

This time the fruit hit its target—Jaken's mouth.

Bankotsu chuckled, "Really, Jaken, do you think that Shesshoumaru would like to hear that you were staring off into the clouds when you were supposed to be swabbing the deck?"

Jaken tried to defend himself, but his words were garbled due to the fruit stuck on his mouth.

"He would probably thank me for reminding you of your task," continued Bankotsu.

"I'm just happy that you shut him up," added another pirate.

The ship's crew laughed and went back to what they were doing.

"I was watching the clouds for that horrid InuYasha. Besides, the only reason Lord Shesshoumaru would have me, his loyal first mate, swabbing the deck is because none of you are capable of doing it correctly!" Jaken squawked, now free from the rotten fruit.

He was completely ignored.

"Ungrateful wretches," he muttered as he began to mop the deck.

"Jaken, refrain from speaking as you work," came a voice from the captain's quarters.

Surprised, Jaken called back, "Yes." He stopped as he realized that he was not supposed to be speaking.

Inside the captain's quarter's Captain Sesshomaru (who preferred the title "Lord Sesshomaru") sat quietly fuming. His half-brother, Inu-Yasha, was becoming an incredible nuisance. It was not enough that the half-breed had chopped off his arm with their father's sword, but now he delighted in taunting him and stealing from him and his crewmembers.

"He will die by my hand," Sesshomaru said, and anyone who listened would have shivered in fright at the obvious threat in the captain's voice.

Hearing a surprised shout, Sesshomaru hastened out of his cabin and onto the ship's deck. Looking into the sky, he growled out the reason for all the excitement,

"InuYasha."

Author's note: I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I wrote it out elsewhere, and I thought it would be longer… at least I updated. :-)

Swans do hiss when they are angry or annoyed.

I started yet another fic entitled, "Once Upon A Robbery." If you can stand Kagome/Shesshoumaru pairings, then please check out my story.

As always, thank you so much for reading and especially for reviewing.
