Chapter 4
The weeks had gone by and yet the pain still stayed in my heart. It seemed that I would continue to suffer until the end of time. We were heading to the high Pirate council, for we had many things to discuss, especially about the recent uproar I had caused. All the crew was in a steer because of what happened, because after the incident we were soon followed by royal Japanese ship. Great like I want to deal with him right know why doesn't he go marry his soon to be back stabbing wife.
The ship pursued us for a few days but we lost it a day ago in the red sea. The entire time I was down in the dojo trying to burn off some pent up rage. Aine was actual scared of me so she didn't come in unless it was very important. Miroku was the only one that actual stayed with me to help; he was one that taught me some of my martial arts in the first place. But know it seemed that I was the one who taught him. When I came out of my thoughts I saw that I had knocked Miroku to the ground and was standing over him read for the final blow.
"Well it seems that you finally beat me Kagome."
"Thanks, but all it was my anger wanting to hurt something." I helped him get back up, but that was when we hear the canoes going off, but they were not ours. As we reached the deck I say that the royal's ship had caught up with us again and this time they were firing at us. Most of my men were hurt but thankful they were all demons so they would recover from this very quickly. That was when heard two screams, I ran toward to them to see that my two adoptive children, Rin and Shippo, were getting attacked by one of the royal soliders. I grabbed my twin blades and charged at him, when he realized that I was there he forgot about the children and stood ready to fight me.
"If I kill the pirate king then I will be considered a hero."
"But that all depends if you can get your sword close enough to kill me." He ran toward me aiming for my heart, but I maneuvered his attack with ease. He kept trying to hit me but each time I would knock his sword away from me. Finally I knocked his sword out of his hand and he seemed so surprised, but I guess this was his first time fighting a girl and losing. I shoved him to the ground and say the fear of death in his eyes, what a coward he was a solider so he should not fear death. But my conscience kicked in and I spared his life. But before I let him go I warned him that if he ever tried to harm my children again then I will ripe him and everyone on the royal ship to pieces.
He ran for his life after that, hoping that I wasn't serious. When I turned to see how my crew and ship was I saw that the royal ship had retreated and was now only following us. I guess Sesshomaru was too much of a coward to face me. I ordered that my hawk, Jinej, be brought to me immediately. I wrote a quick letter in that time which said 'I wish a conference with you.' Once Jinej was brought to me I attached the letter to his leg and sent him to the royal's ship.
He replied in about 10 minutes his note said 'fine where.'
What I sent was 'on your ship but if you try to do anything I will make sure you and your men will never be able to reproduce.'
When I received the okay from him I put Sango I charge of the ship. Aine was ordered to watch my children, and Miroku would handle the wounded. I got on a rowboat and sailed to Sesshomaru's ship.
When I got there I was pulled onto the ship with a jerk that nearly pulled my shoulder out of place. The person who had pulled me up was the soldier who was afraid of death. He had a look of hatred and liking towards me. I walked past him and felt him slap my ass; I turned around to see him wink. I felt very occurred that I just turned around and walked toward Sesshomaru.
I got there expecting to be tied down or to be tackled by men not being grabbed by my hands and pulled into a hug. I was so surprised that at first I didn't notice the tears that feel on my shoulder. I was so confused why he would cry for me I was just a lowly pirate. When he pulled away from the hug I could see the love in his eyes that felt so right to see.
"Why, why would you still love me, I betrayed you, I betrayed our way of live."
"You are the same person that I knew as a child, and even then I loved you."
"But know it is your duty to hunt me down."
"I don't care, I can't lose you again" I pushed myself away from, because I knew that if this keeps up I will never want to leave my ship, crew, and kids behind.
"Sesshomaru I can't stay I won't, my life now is on my ship, so if you ever try to hurt my crew or my children again I will personally kill you."
I walked away from him feeling the pain radiate from him, but I knew that if I turned back I would not be able to leave. I walked off climbed down to the rowboat and sailed back to my ship. When I got back on I noticed that Sesshomaru's ship had turned around and was heading home. I felt so bad about what I had down but I knew that no matter what I do I had to keep doing what I do best.
I ran a embraced my kids as we headed towards Ship Wreck Cove and toward the Pirate Lord Council.
