Vote of Confidence

"It looks like we have a day of clear sailing," said the captain of the ship as it looked at the clear sky.

"That it does. Let's hope Naraku doesn't catch up anytime soon."

"Don't fear, Kagome. You and I both know that he has no idea as to where the Shikon is located."

"Yes Jack, I know, but we'll most likely be dealing with a lot of resistance and then he'll catch up and then we'll fight him and then we may not get it," Kagome replied.

"Don't fret. Everything will be fine. We have an able crew and I always have a plan."

"Yes, hair-brained schemes that you come up with at the last minute, that no one knows about and you're never sure if they'll work," Kagome scoffed.

Turning to face her, Jack replied, "Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming."

Instead of answering right away, Kagome looked out to sea. Jack, thinking he somehow made her upset, went to stand behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. They stood there silently for a few minutes, until Gibbs called out to them.

"Captain, Kagome, we're coming up to land."

The two turned towards him before looking towards the front of the boat.

"Hm, so we are," said Jack.

Kagome turned to look at him, "You ready for this?"

"Of course, we'll get the Shikon, make a wish and sail off into the sunset searching for more treasure."

"I'd like the sailing off into the sunset if it didn't involve more treasure. What if we make the wrong wish and something disastrous happens?"

"That won't happen. I won't let it happen."

"You're overly confident. You've thought of a wish. What is it?"

"Not telling. Now let us grab some rum and get ready to go ashore."

~ 1 Day Later~

"I can't believe you got us lost. Your compass is supposed to lead us to what you want most. Why isn't it leading us to the temple?"

"Uh, I don't know."

"Jack, what is it you want most?"

"Um, why do you ask?"

Before Kagome could answer, Gibbs answered.

"Because, if we're lost in this forest any longer we will go crazy. Now answer the woman."

"Well, what I want most is you, Kagome."

He looked at her and was shocked to see anger flashing in her eyes.

"Kagome, why are you angry?" Jack asked as both he and Gibbs carefully moved back away from Kagome.

"Because we've been getting lost, because you want something you already have."

"Oh, well let us re-examine the compass and hopefully it will lead us to the temple, this time."

"It better," growled out Kagome as Jack gave them the direction to go.

They walked for hours until they came out of the forest.

"Okay men….and woman, there's the temple. Now, we need to get there without being noticed."

As he finished, he looked at his crew and noticed that Kagome was nowhere to be found.

"Gibbs!"

"Yes, Captain?"

"Where's Kagome?"

"Ah, she headed towards the temple she figured she'd be able to get the Shikon on her own."

"She could be in danger."

"I think she'll be able to handle it. Have some confidence in her."

~A few hours later~

Jack paced and every once in a while looked up towards the temple, hoping to see Kagome.

"She's fine," came Gibbs voice to his right.

"How do you know, she could be captured or worse."

"She's coming now."

Jack whipped his and saw a bloodied Kagome strutting towards him. When she came to stand before him, it took all his will power not to grab her and yell.

"What happened?"

"I got in and somehow Naraku was already there. That gave me a great distraction, so I was able to get in and get to the Shikon."

"You have it?" Jack interrupted.

"Ah, no."

"What!"

"Hold on, I'm getting to that. Now I was at the Shikon and I was able to grab it, when Naraku came in. We fought and he was able to land a few blows on me. There was point where I thought I was a goner. So, in order to keep him from getting the Shikon, I made a wish."

"So, it's gone?"

"Yes."

"Ah, so you made the right wish."

"Apparently. I just wished that it'd disappear and couldn't be used for evil."

"Oh. You really are too pure to be a pirate."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kagome angrily asked.

At this point, Gibbs and the rest of the crew backed up.

"Nothing, I just don't think you're happy."

Jack looked completely shocked as his head turned from the force of Kagome's slap. (A/N: wouldn't be pirates if Jack didn't get slapped.)

"Idiot! If I wasn't happy, I'd have left your crew a long time ago. I told you in the forest you already have me. I love you," Kagome said as she lowered her hand.

"Well, then I guess my wish wouldn't have worked."

"You were going to wish for my happiness and not eternal life?"

"Yes, I love you as well. I wanted you to be happy, even if it wasn't with me. I could never live eternally if I didn't have you with me."

"Jack," Kagome whispered out.

Jack then grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into his arms. They stood like that for a couple of minutes until they turned their eyes to each other. They leaned in until their lips met. They were so caught in each other that they didn't hear the whistles from the crew or Gibbs leading them back to the ship.

When they finally broke apart, they headed back to the ship. They stood together at the helm and Jack turned towards her and said, "Let's sail away into the sunset."

"Yes, lets."
