Chapter 2

Who's screwing Kikyo?

Sango and Kohaku stared up at the large crew standing round them in a circle. They chatted among them selves about what they should do with them or why they where even there to began with. Sango swallowed hard at the thought of beginning pushed over board. She looked over at her brother who didn't look scared at all. He looked excited to see them. She shook her head. Kohaku could be so dense sometimes did he not know that their lives where in danger?

"Well I'm sure they didn't just jump on board. That would be stupid." Said one of the female pirates. She had long orange hair in to pig tails with a bandana on. She really didn't look like a pirate. She had large K9 teeth and beautiful emerald eyes. She looked younger then Sango. A lot of them looked to be the same age as Sango. She always thought pirates where suppose to be ugly old guys with nasty beards and smelled like the living dead.

But these people where different. They looked clean and none of them where old or had breads like she thought or the way her dad explained them when he told Kohaku those bed time stories. These guys where just the opposite of that almost.

"Maybe Bankotsu brought them along. You know how he is always picking up hitch hikers." Said a male pirate. He had long black hair in a ponytail. He had large K9 teeth just like the girl. He was standing with his arms crossed in front of everyone like he was the captain or something. He frowned down at them with a cold look in his eyes. Sango swallowed hard.

"Yeah remember that old lady. She slept with her eyes opened or something. That was so weird." Said the girl with pig tails. A seeable shiver running down her back as a look of disgust came over her face. "What happened to her?" Said the same girl as she looked around to see if she was still on the ship and she never noticed.

"About 3 months ago Kikyo accidentally pushed her over board." Said another girl. She had blood red eyes and black hair that was up in a bun. She looked over at Sango. She eyed her. "I think Bankotsu likes her. He thinks she's cute. That's why he saved them." She said. They all nodded in agreement that's exactly like something Bankotsu's would do. Sango blushed and her eyes fell to the ground. She heard Kohaku laugh and she glared at him. They all looked to him and he stopped as he looked up at all of them.

"Wrong." They all looked to see Kikyo walking towards them. They make way for her and she kneeled down in front of Sango who swallowed hard but tried to show no fear. "He saved them because the boy reminds him of himself when he was little. The girl was just a bonus." She said as she began to check Sango.

"My name is Sango" She said glaring at Kikyo. Kikyo stopped what she was doing and looked at Sango. They stared at each other. Kikyo pulled out a necklace from Sango's pocket and put it in her own, "Hey that's mine!" Sango yelled. Kikyo's eyes snapped up to meet her's and Sango leaned back as she swallowed the knot in her throat. What was with this girl? Should anyone at such a young age have so much hatred in their eyes?

"Well it's mine now." She said as she stood up and moved over to Kohaku she began to check him. Finding nothing on him she stood up and stared down at them. She sighed. She turned to her crew. "O.k. everyone back to your post. Were headed for Crow Island." She said and began to walk away towards the lower half of the ship.

"But Kikyo you're not going to let them walk around freely on the ship are you? How can you trust them?" Kagura asked. Kikyo stopped and turned back to her.

"I trusted you didn't I?" She asked. Kagura's eyes fell to the ground and she nodded. "If any one needs me. I'll be sleeping." She said. She began to walk away towards a door to the lower part of the ship again. Everyone watched her until she was gone then they all turned back to Sango and Kohaku. Their stared at her and Sango and Kohaku stared back up at them.

"Is it just me or has Kikyo gotten soft?" Koga asked as her crossed his arms.

"Kikyo is not getting soft!" Inuyasha yelled jumping to her defenses.

"You're only saying that because you're screwing her!" Koga yelled back. Inuyasha blushed

"W-what!? I'm not screwing anyone! You should get your facts straight before you open that big mouth of yours! And if I was it was none of your business anyways wolf boy!" Inuyasha yelled back. Everyone sighed and began to walk walked away seeing that the two boys where getting into one of there fights.

"Oh yeah that's right you to dumb to date Kikyo it must be your brother that's doing all the screwing. I hear her moaning at night unless she's playing with herself." Koga said with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest again knowing that he had won their little argument.. Inuyasha clinched his teeth and growled. "Looks like you lost to your older brother again Inuyasha." Koga said and walked away.

"Inuyasha don't let Koga get under your skin you know-"Before Ayame could finish Inuyasha was storming off. She sighed and her eyes fell on Kohaku and Sango. She sighed. "Oh great. That leaves me to take you guys to your rooms." She said and jumped off the barrel she was sitting on.

"That's o.k. Ayame. I'll do it." They all looked to see a smirking Bankotsu walking towards them. "Sorry it took so long. I had something to take care of." He said stopping in front of them. They stood up. "If you guys would fallow me please." He said.

Inuyasha walked into Kikyo's room. She was lying on her side with her back to him. He slammed the door and she shot up with a knife in her hand. She sighed and relaxed. She ran her fingers threw her hair.

"You didn't have to slam the door Inuyasha. You sacred me. I could have waked up with a small tap." She said and placed the small pocket knife on her bed side. She sat up and leaned back against the wall. She looked at him when he didn't say anything. Just stood there. She raised an eye brow. "What's wrong with you?" She asked.

"Are you screwing Sesshomaru?" He asked coldly threw his clinched his teeth. Rage in his eyes as he balled his hands up into a fist. She stared at him unfazed by the anger he was displaying. She looked at the wall in front of her.

"Don't be stupid Inuyasha. Do you take me as some kind of slut?" She asked and looked at him her eyes just as cold as his. He relaxed a little. "We both know the only person I'm screwing and been screwing for the last year is you. So don't come with me with stupid stuff like this. Why do you believe every little thing that comes from Koga's mouth?" She asked.

Inuyasha was much calmer now. He shrugged his shoulders. "Most of the times what he says is true. He seems to know a lot of you dirty little secrets." He said. She rolled her eyes and stood up to be eye level with him.

"What dirty secrets Inuyasha? Koga doesn't know anything about me! What else could he possible know?" She asked glaring at him. She felt her anger beginning to rise. Why was Inuyasha so stubborn? And why couldn't he trust her? H acted like she was a whore on a leash and she wasn't.

"The fact that you and Bankotsu uses to be childhood sweet hearts!" He yelled. She stared at him in disbelieve. "The fact that you two where closer then you are now which is pretty hard to believe seeing that you two are freaking glued to each others backs." He yelled. She shook her head and her eyes fell to the ground. Her hands balled up.

"I can't believe you Inuyasha. Yes Bankotsu and I dated but I don't like him like that! He's like a brother to me now." She said. He crossed his arms. "And what about you Inuyasha?" she asked. He looked up at her. "I know you got a lot of stuff that you keep from me as well. Is there something you would like to share while we are opening up to each other?" she asked

His eyes fell to the ground and they softened. She watched him. He was keeping something from her. She looked away from him. There was something he wasn't telling her. "Well I don't have any like you. I bet your screwing around with both of them." He said. She looked at him and her eyes narrowed.

"Get out." She said. He looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you death and stupid now? I said get out!" She yelled and sat back down on her bed.

"Kikyo-"

"Inuyasha what part didn't you understand. Get. Out. I really don't even want to look at you. You're being ridiculous" She said and laid back down her back to him. He stared at him before turning and walking out slowly closed the door behind him.

"Right this way." Bankotsu said as he opened the room Sango and Kohaku right behind him.

"Wow this is so cool." Said Kohaku as he got up in the top bunk of the beds. Bankotsu smirked and watched him. Sango's eyes stayed on Bankotsu. She looked him up and down. Why was he being so nice to them? Why did he choose to save them? There were other little boys on the ship around Kohaku's age. Why was it only Kohaku that reminded him of his self? Why couldn't he save them?

"You don't have to worry I'm not going to hurt you." He said and looked at her. "I don't know about the other guys but you can put your guard down around me." He smirked at her and she relaxed a little not wanting to relax too much. He may have said she could trust him but that doesn't mean she had to completely. "And if you need anything. Anything at all I'm right down the hall." He said and winked at her. She blushed.

"Kikyo said you would say something like that." They all looked to see Kagura walking in. Bankotsu frowned. "And she sent me to tell you that if you need anything Ayame is right cross the hall and to never go to Bankotsu for anything." She said with a small smirk that sent a shiver down Sango's and Kohaku's back. Bankotsu crossed his arms.

"Kikyo is such a party pooper. She can come to see me in the middle of the night if she wants to." He said putting his nose in the air like a little child who wasn't getting his way. Kagura let out a small laugh.

"She also said they you would say that and told me to tell you that no one would want to see you in the middle of the night" She said. Sango couldn't help but to let out a small laugh. Bankotsu glared at her before turning back to Kagura.

"Well you tell Kikyo she can suck my-"Kagura quickly cut him off.

"She said you would say that too and to me to tell you only in you dreams." She said. Bankotsu's eyes narrowed. Kagura crossed her arms and smirked. "She said you wouldn't have a comeback." She said. Bankotsu let out a small growl before storming out of the room. They watched him go. Kagura chuckled and turned back to them.

"Is he going to be alright?" Kohaku asked as he got down from the bunk bed and stood by his sister.

"He'll be fine. They just love to get under each others skin is all. A little game they play. Any ways make you at home. Kikyo has made it so that no one hurts you. You can sleep at night. We have arranged it so that you will be let free when we hit Destiny Island. We should get there in about two weeks." She said and headed for the door.

"Wait I thought you guys where going to drops off on the first dry land we reach." Sango said. Kagura turned back to her.

"We are." She said.

"She said earlier that you guys where headed to a place called Crows Island. Why not drop us off there?" She asked. Kagura smirked again and Sango tensed as she took a step towards them

"Trust me you don't want to be dropped off at Crows Islands. It's the land of the Pirates. You couldn't last a day in that place." She said and eyed her. "They'll eat you live. I mean we could drop you off there but that would be just cruel." She said and turned to leave again.

"Why are you guys being so nice to us? I mean you guys are Pirates. Aren't you suppose to torture us and make us walk the plank or something. Why save us?" Sango asked. Kagura sighed and rolled her eyes. The girl had so many stupid questions. Like why couldn't she just shut up? She turned back to them

"First of all we don't have a plank if we wanted to throw you off the ship we would just toss you over the side and second of all not all pirates are evil and cold hearted. Yes we kill people but we try to make it quick and painless. We are human beings you know. You're just luck you ran it to us and not the other pirates that you are so disparately trying to prove that we are like. Anymore questions? Anymore ways that I could be of services to you?" She asked. Sango shook her head. "O.k. then. I'll be leaving now." She said and walked out closing the door behind her.

"See I told you there not all bad people and I think she's right we were really lucky to bum into them." Kohaku said as he sat down on the lower bunk. She sat down next to him.

"I guess so but I still don't trust them and neither should you. I want you to stay with me or tell me were you are at all times o.k.?" She said. He nodded.

"Sango I really think that we should trust them. They haven't done anything to show that we couldn't." He said

"What!? Did you not see the part were they blew up are ship! With all those people on it!" She said. He sighed.

"Sango calm down. I think we'll be fine." He said and stood up. There was a knock and they both stared at the door. It opened and about 3 little kids walked in. They stared at them.

"Hi am Souta and this is my little sister Kaede and are friend Kanna. Were Kikyo's and Kagome's younger siblings and she is Kagura's. We were just wandering if he wanted to come play with us." He said looking at Kohaku. Kohaku looked at Sango. She sighed and nodded.

"Thank you." He said and jumped up. They all ran out the room and closed the door behind them. She sighed and laid back on the bed. She got under the blanket and closed her eyes as she listened to the creaking sound of the old ship and the waves hitting up against it. She slowly fell asleep.

Kikyo walked out of her room and on to the lower deck. She walked up the stairs and on to the bridge of the ship where Ayame and Koga where making out. She crossed her arms and cleared her throat. They pulled away and Koga took off down the stairs.

"What did I tell you about doing that up here?" Kikyo asked. Ayame looked down at the ground and put shrugged.

"I couldn't help it. He just came up here all sexy and turned on and-"

"Shut up Ayame." She said rolling her eyes. She took the wheel of the ship. Ayame watched her.

"What's wrong Kikyo?" She asked as she moved closer to her captain. Kikyo stared out in to the ocean watching the waves. She had a look of sorrow in her eyes. "Kikyo?" She asked. Kikyo looked at her.

"Do you ever wonder why we are still sailing these seas? Well we ever stop the cold blooded Killing, and the stealing. What is this going to do for us in life besides make us wanted killers? I just been thinking about all this. What's going to happen to Souta and Kaede when they come of age? I don't want them to have this life Ayame." She said.

"Are you saying that you don't want to be a pirate anymore?" Ayame asked. Kikyo let out a small laugh and ran her fingers threw her bangs. She looked back at Ayame.

"No. Being a Pirate is in my blood but I just don't want them to be here." She said. She let a small smile come to her lips. "I mean how could I leave my baby behind huh?" She said running her fingers across the wheel that she was holding, the old wood rough against her fingers. She let out a sigh and Ayame smiled.

"You know they'll be fine Kikyo how about we get to the true reason why you're so upset. I have known you scent we where kids and all you wanted to be was a pirate like your father. You never once question if you still wanted to be one. Like you said it's in you blood. But there is something bothering you so how about you stop beating around the bush and get to it." She said crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow.

Kikyo let out another chuckle and looked down at her boots. It never stopped amazing her how well Ayame knew her even when Kikyo tried to keep most things to her self. Ayame was right they grew up together so there wasn't much that she could keep from her. She liked it that she had someone to talk to about her problems. Some one to let in even if it's for a little while.

"It's Inuyasha." She said and looked up at her friend. Ayame sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I knew it. He went to you all mad about what Koga said didn't he?" She asked. Kikyo looked at the ground and nodded. "He is such a short tempered Jerk! I mean he knows he is the only one you been screwing for the last year. I would have been got bored with him." She said rolling her eyes again.

Kikyo smiled. "Yeah well Inuyasha is different and you know how I feel about him. It's just I don't think he knows that some of the things he says hurts me." She said looking aback down. He small leaving her face. "Maybe we aren't met to be together any more I mean all we do is fight." She said.

"Well maybe it's around that time where you two take a little brake. Get some air." Ayame asked with a small shrug. Kikyo looked at her.

"Maybe your right. But there's something else" She said and looked back out of the sea. Ayame watched her. Kikyo shook her head and sighed. "I can't believe I'm about to say this though I been thinking about it for a while but…" she looked to her again. "I think Inuyasha might have cheated on me." she said with a frown as looked away again. Ayame stared at her with a blank expression.

"No way! Inuyasha would never cheat on you! You're his whole world! And besides who is there on this ship that would even touch Inuyasha while knowing that he was yours?" she asked as she put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow. Kikyo stared at her before she smiled

"Your right Ayame. I don't know what I was thinking.' She said with a small chuckle as she looked back to the sea. Ayame put her hand on Kikyo's shoulder trying to comfort her friend; Kikyo looked at her and smiled. "I'm glad I got you to talk to you. Thanks Ayame"

"No problem. But what are we doing to do with those two. The girl and her brother?" She asked. Kikyo sighed again.

"Just leave them alone. We'll drop them off at Destiny Island. For now I really don't care about them. Just keep them in line and make sure they don't do anything they'll regret." She said before she walked away. Ayame watched her leave.
