Chapter 5

We reached Ship Wreck Cove in a couple days, and I was in one if the foulest moods. All my crew believed that it was my time of the month, and I wish it was my time. I had screwed up, more then I can even imagine. He was never going to forgive me and why would he; I tore out his heart and through it back in his face as if it was worthless. Every day until we reached the cove I was training, trying to vent all the emotions that were flooding my head.

When we were close enough my crew docked us, so then Miroku, Sango, Aine, and I headed ashore. We entered the chamber of the council members and were overwhelmed by the smell of rum and men that have not bathed in a few years. We headed to the head of the table where I took my place among the council. Everyone was watching me hoping I would make a mistake and then that would be their chance to kill me and decided a new king.

"Everyone it is a pleasure to see you all alive and well."

"Kagome we hear that you have brought war to our world is that true?" asked my "dear friend" Yuki, Pirate Lord of the Eastern border. She has always had a problem with me every sense I was voted to be the king. Well she is not going to win favors by bring that topic up.

"Yes."Everyone in the council room became quiet and began to look at me. I could see the concern in their eyes, and I knew what they felt. I was worried too no worried is an understatement. I was terrified, because I knew in my heart that if war was coming then I would have to fight Sesshomaru again and I know I would have to kill him.

"Please, my fellow pirates, we have all known that this war was coming. There was no way in Dave Jones Locker that we were going to avoid this war. Instead of acting like coward we face this enemy, and we destroy their weak attempt at ending the golden age of Pirates." At this I was able to gain the respect and will to fight this battle, but there were still council members who were still unsure of this fight.

"We are pirates, it is not in are nature to fight, but to run away." Akito added to the conversation. He was my second in command, and was always the coward out of all the pirate lords.

"Akito, I understand that this is pretty much a suicide mission, but we have to defend our way of life and our people. So for now do not be a coward, be brave and fight with us." I knew I got him then because then he looked around, smiled, and nodded his head.

The meeting went on for another hour, and then finally let out. We all headed back to our ships to prepare are crews for the battle ahead. We knew that the royal ships would not be here for a few days, which gave us enough time to prepare for it. However, the thought that kept running through my head was how Yuki knew that there was going to be war. My curiosity got the best of me and I followed her onto her ship and into her private study. She was passing around her study, it sounded like she was talking to someone but all I could make out were whispers. Therefore, I used my clocking spell and snuck inside. I was close enough so that I could hear whatever she was talking about and not be caught.

"She is a little wench; she convinced all of the pirate fools to follow her into to battle."

"Well then we are going to have to end her life before the battle even begins." This voice I recognized it. She was the girl that was being my imposter, wait what was her name again? Oh yea her name is Kikyo.

"But she is the best fighter out of the entire pirate lord how am I going to be able to kill her."

"Then don't play fair, Sesshomaru is pain because of her, and she is the only one that is standing in between me and becoming queen so get rid of her or I will." Yuki and Kikyo were planning on killing me so that they can get there greedy little paws on Sesshomaru and his crown. I was not going to have it. I let my spell down and walked toward Yuki. She turned around and she came face first into me. She jumped back and prepared for battle I walked up to her disarmed her.

"Know the council will know of your betrayal." I walked her outside and ordered another meeting of the council. Once everyone was present I brought Yuki in chains into the room.

"Yuki has betrayed us all. She is helping the enemy lead the attack." All the lords looked at me surprised and then looked at Yuki in blind anger. This meeting was going to be fast.

"How shall we punish the traitor my lord."

"I say we impale her and hang her on our leading ship during the battle so that the enemy can see what happens to enemy spies." Everyone agreed and she was taken to her execution. I did not attend. I was sitting on my ship thinking about what Kikyo had said, I had hurt Sesshomaru. I felt so horrible that I could barley breath. I felt an arm on my shoulder and saw Sango sit by me. How did she always know what was wrong.

"You know keeping things to yourself is not going to help you with your problems."

"I know but I didn't wish to involve you in a private matter."

"Well it is too late for that, I got involved the minute you and I became friends." We laughed at that and I began to explain why I had been acting so weird lately. Once I was down Sango looked at me and gave me the biggest bear hug I had every gotten from her. That was when the tears came; I could not act like what I did will not affect me anymore. That was when Sango and I heard a large crash down below we ran to see what is was. Standing there was the man I thought would never see again and few more faces.

"Sesshomaru, Hojo, Sota, Kagura, Kanna what are you all doing here?"

"We came to help, Kikyo has gone power mad like her father and we wanted to make sure that you were okay." Hojo said but I could clearly tell that he was asking 'were was Aine?' Nevertheless, I did not pay much attention to it I was more concerned with the man I loved that was staring at me.

"Sesshomaru why are you here?" I asked afraid to find the answer.

"I came because I thought if I let you get away that day, that it would truly be over between us." I looked at him so surprised that I did not know what to say, and he knew that. So he walked up to me and picked me up bridal style and kissed me with a so much passion that I thought I would faint right there. It felt like eternity until we finally stopped kissing, and when we did I was so happy that I did not care what happened tomorrow that all that mattered was right here right now.
