Chapter 1
1792
12 years had passed since that fateful night when I watched my father died. 12 years since I was away from my home. But it doesn't matter anymore because my new home is on my ship. I had become the one thing this world hated more than murders. I became a pirate, who lived off the money I stole from other people. What those people don't understand is that this life is more adventures then anything I would have lived back home.
When I left that day one the ship, I worked many days and nights as an apprentice on the ship. Until one day there was an attack on the ship by pirates. I was so amazed by the pirates, that I let them take me away. I trained and worked for many years on that pirate ship until finally I was let go. I took one row boat and sailed away.
I came to an island, which surprisingly held many things I had never seen before. I saw pine trees, blueberry bushes, and a weeping willow. I had come to love this place, because this was where I meet some long time friends. Aine was a master swordswoman who taught me how to fight without having to use a gun, Miroku taught me how to use the plants around me for medicine and food, and Sango came from a family of military men, she taught me strategies that would help in the future. We all started our pirate crew together, gathered many people, who like us, wanted to be free from the troubles of living a normal life.
We traveled the world say many places stole so much Spanish gold. I somehow along our journey I became the Pirate king. And then finally when we didn't have anywhere else to see we headed to Japan, or as I use to call it, home. I was brought out of my thoughts when Sango walked up to me and asked, "Why do have a sad look on your face Kagome? We all thought you would be happy to see your home again?"
"Sango, I left my home because I had no choice. What would make any one of you think seeing this reached place again would make me happy?"
"Because when you talked about your home, you had a shine to your eyes that told us you would do anything to see it again."
"It is true we all say it!"Miroku said with a worried look on his face
"Tell us the real reason you don't want to see your home."Aine said trying to figure out the reason behind my discomfort.
"Fine, the reason I have avoided coming home all these years is because I would have to face a forgotten past which has brought me nothing but pain."
"Kagome, what could you have done that would make you hurt so badly?" This time Miroku was beyond concerned.
"I killed a man when I was only eight."
"Well even when you were a kid you were a pirate."Sango laughed and so did we all, but what they didn't understand was that along with killing him I left behind a friend who needed more than anything. I had left Sesshomaru all alone for 12 years, so that I could escape my own pain, when he was suffering more than I ever would.
"That isn't the only reason you don't want to go." Aine always seemed to know what I was thinking.
"You're right, it isn't. I use to have friend who was everything to me, but because I was selfish and left he suffered. I promised him I would never leave him, and I broke that promise into a million pieces."
"What was your friend's name?" Sango was brave enough to ask the question that was on every one's mind.
"His name is Sesshomaru, or as he is called now King."
"You mean you were friends with the new king of Japan?"Miroku asked
"Yes I was."
"Well why you didn't tell us sooner is a mystery me, because now we have a reason to crash his party."
"Miroku what crap are you spilling out of your mouth now?"Sango asked afraid to find out the answer.
"There is a huge party tonight to celebrate the coronation of king Sesshomaru."
"What pirate in their right mind would think that we have any chance of getting into that party?" Aine asked thinking Miroku had finally reached his breaking point.
"No listen I have connections in Japan that could help to get us inside."
"That has to be the craziest plan I have ever heard."Sango said while giving Miroku a death glare.
"Why don't we give it a shot, I mean we have already done all the stuff we wanted to do while we were pirates."I added in trying to convince Aine and Sango that is might be fun. After a while of arguing we all agreed that this party might not be a bad idea. So we pulled up to the dock and anchored are shipped. When I got onto the land I felt an emotion come over me that I had not felt in a long time, sadness.
We walked into town where I and the gang spilt up. Miroku and Sango went to go talk to the connections, and Aine was probably heading for the tavern. I was headed to my father's building. I was surprised to see it still standing. My curiosity took over me and I headed inside. It was exactly the same as I left it 12 years ago. I walked up to my father's office to find that a new man was sitting in his chair. He looked very familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen his face before. He looked up at me and that was when I remembered who he was. All I could say at that moment was, "Brother."
"Who are you and why did you call me brother, I only have four sisters?"
"Hojo, it's me Kagome."
"No, you can't be Kagome, she died 12 years ago."
At that moment all I said was the one thing I know would get him to believe me, "Why don't you believe me forget me not."
He looked at me and began to cry realizing that I was his little sister. He got from his seat and ran up and hugged me. I could feel his hot tears on my shoulder. He pulled out of the hug and asked, "Where have you been all this time?"
"I have been traveling the world."
"Why didn't you come home sooner, we all thought you died with dad that day."
"I couldn't come home, because I had committed an act that would never be forgiven."
"Kagome no matter what you did you know that we would forgive you, so tell what did you do?"
"I killed Lord Naraku that night, and I became the pirate king." My brother let go of me and just stared at me like I was the bubonic plague. I turned away from him waiting for the criticism or for him to turn me in, but instead he hugged me and said that I was his little sister and no matter what happened he would always be there for me. I began to cry knowing one of my sins was being forgiven, but the other one I would be left up to the fates.
I own nothing.
