When the Unsinkable Sank: a Titanic/Inuyasha Knockoff with a Twist!
Ch1 part 2: Just another trip
(Kagome's POV)
"The day of the sailing was a normal one for me. I was the eldest daughter of the Higurashi Tea Company, which was always famous and good with foreign trading. However, we were secretly stuck in trouble with the passing of my father Isamu Higurashi, but we had enough to go back to Japan and complete a marriage merger. Who would be married? Me of course, and my picked husband was to be Hayashi Naraku, the heir of our close business friend, Hayashi finery. They sold and made only the richest of silks and fibers, mined and owned only the most precious of jewels. However Naraku was an evil man, only caring about the money and maybe a 'quickie' on the side. He always had a sick wanting for me one that made my skin crawl. My mother Hanako took no notice and only saw Naraku's crush as encourage for our merger. She and I were sailing with Naraku back to Japan, where I would be reunited with my younger brother Souta and of course get married. There was another with us though. My two dearest friends Kobayashi Sango, her little brother Kohaku, and their kitten Kirara. The second of my friends was an older woman whom no one really wanted around except me, for underneath her strangeness was a heart and spirit just like mine and thus I called her 'grandma Kaede'. Little did any of us know she would be known for more than that?"
(End of POVS, flashback moment)
A 20 year old Kagome walked onto the fancy looking upper suit. This was the 'millionaire' suite, equipped with paintings beautiful plants and the like. However, she herself wasn't paying any attention. She was looking at a painting of a woman in geisha clothing and makeup looking at the sun. The others stared at it with apathy. Sango was sitting on a balcony, drinking a glass of sparkling water. "Those mud puddles were a waste you know. I don't see how they're holding your attention like that, Kagome-chan."
she called, taking a sip. Kagome pouted. "Iie, the artwork is beautiful, yet practical. It captures the fakeness of the world in its own way. Who's the artist again?" she rebutted, her curious face tilting to find the artist's mark. Sango rolled her eyes. "There's no name. It's an anonymous painting from the youkai sector you know." Sango answered. Kagome threw the back of her head a glare. "What's wrong with that?" I still like it. I got this kimono set from the youkai sector too, you know. Yet you said it was nice." She asked. Sango turned to look at it. It was a white and black striped kimono with a purple obi. In her hair were purple flowers and white beads weaved into her long black tresses. Sango pouted. "There's nothing wrong with the kimono set or the youkai sectors. I just don't like the painting. Now come on, we'll miss the meeting with Kaede baa-chan." She replied. Kagome nodded. "Alright, come on then I think she's in your room with Hayashi-san." Sango ushered as she turned the corner. Kagome hesitated for a moment, her face falling at the mention of her forced fiancé. Sango's face peered back around the corner. "Kagome-chan? Come on girl don't just stand there." She scolded lightly. Kagome nodded, walking almost robotically towards her room.
Naraku was sitting on the bed, facing the window. "Trust me; anything made by the youkai sector is certainly not art. I'm just glad they were cheap, ne?" he greeted. Sango nodded. "Well, turns out Kaede baa-chan isn't here yet, sorry Kagome-chan. I'll leave you two alone, then." Sango said, turning to leave. Kagome sighed as she sat down on the vanity chair, toying with a few strands of hair. Naraku stood as a baggage boy walked in with a safe. Naraku turned. "Put that in the wardrobe alright?" he ordered. The boy bowed and walked back into the room to place the safe. Sango paused. "I like your room, Kagome-chan. It smells and looks so new, untouched. Just like mine, I'll be the first to rest in those sheets, isn't that exciting?" Sango giggled. Naraku chuckled as his dark red eyes stared at Kagome. "You won't be the only first in the sheets, Kobayashi. Kagome and I will be sure of that." He chuckled. Kagome internally scoffed at the innuendo while Sango blushed and stuttered, rushing out of the room. Once alone, Naraku came and massaged Kagome's shoulders in a way that screamed that he owned her. Kagome wanted to wrench away from it. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered. "Mine and only mine, forever darling." Kagome's face remained stoic but her eyes screamed in disagreement.
Well, there's Kagome's POV for chappie one. That's how I'm doing this story, I'm going to have part one in either Kaggies or Inus' Pov and then make the next chapter the previous chapter in the other's POV. get it? Review please!
