Hey everyone, This is me, TrigunsKitty, or T.K for short just making another chapter for you all! All the reviews were great! I appreciate all the help and advice and I hope that I fix the whole clumping huge paragraphs I just love to type out. I'll work hard to not do that. n///n
Other news: Sorry I haven't updated, I was trying to update soon like I did with the last chapter... but I realized that Comicon is 12 days from now and I needed to finish my I.B. Homework... (Yes, I have homework during the summer, my school sucks and I hope it burns...) It's ¾ complete, I just need to write out some more quotes, finish the questions, and create a 5 minute or longer oral presentation on one of my reading books. Sounds easy right? It IS! (This is how insane I got in this program.)
Love life: I'm glad actually because two of my best friends finally decided to go out, and I'm happy for them. Though, the bad side to this is that I will never date anyone until I'm done with college. Apparently I was right about guys when I was younger. They are idiots, they're not worth the time, and they're too pushy so I give up on them. I decided to stick with education and education only. I.B. Is already taking up my schedule, so why should I add relationships to the whole mess? It's too bothersome.
Disclaimor: (T.K is found hanging off of the ledge of some ten story building) I don't own Inuyasha—a-a-a-a-a-a-a. (Echo, Echo, Echo...) Now gimme my Sango plushie!!!!
T.K.: (Receives her plushie) Jeez, I didn't know the lawsuits were so bent to actually steal my plushie and try to make me do suicide if I didn't say that... Grr... stupid lawsuits... (Some appear magically) Err... I love you guys? Thanks for keeping me in line? (Lawsuits disappear) Jerks... (Huggles Sango close)
Miroku: Hey, I didn't know you had a Sango plushie. I want one...
Sango: I don't mind that T.K. Has a plushie of me but if you had my plushie Miroku... I just don't know...
Miroku: I wouldn't do anything bad to it! How dare you insinuate that I would do something bad with it.
T.K: She didn't say anything to the lines of 'bad.'
Kagome and Inuyasha: (Nods)
Miroku: ...What is today? Beat on Miroku Day? All I wanted to do was sleep with it...
Everyone Else: o.0;
Sango: ... I prove my point.
T.K: You poor girl... Too bad, it only gets worse for you...
Sango: What do you mean by that?
T.K: Why, it's the next chapter Sango! The next morning!
Sango: Oh... Nothing... bad happened right?
Kagome/Inuyasha/Miroku: You'll have to wait and see!
T.K: Exactly, Now, onto the motion picture... er, I mean feature presentation.
Deadly Liasons at Sea
Chapter Two: Stormy Nights and Thunder
"Kirara, Kirara, Where are you?" A young girl of 12 said as she stumbled into her father's room. It was filled with lots of books and many glittery medals decorating the walls.
"Sango dear, what are you doing here so later?" Said a mysterious voice at her right and Sango turned quickly around. There stood her father with a 7 year old sleeping Kohaku in his arms.
"I'm looking for Kirara, she disappeared again..." The smile her father gave her encouragement when he decided to speak. "Don't worry about her. She'll be back soon... Ah, speak of the devil. Kirara, Sango was looking for you."
Kirara appeared by the opened door twisting it's tail twice as it stared intently at Sango. "Kirara! There you are!"
"Mew..."
Suddenly everything froze, Kirara wasn't moving, Kohaku and father were standing completely still and eerily quiet. "Father? Kirara? Kohaku...?"
As if her voice broke the world itself, the floor tumbled in and she collapsed inside to appear in her room. Slapping her cheeks Sango ran to her mirror to look at herself. There stood a 16 year old bashful, yet gorgeous Sango staring into nothing. "I thought I was with Kohaku, Kirara and Father." Another noise entered her ears as she stared at the door. It was opening slowly, to slowly which caused her to take a step back.
"Sango, could you help me with this bow? Father wanted me to accompany him to the masquerade ball tonight." A boy of eleven entered. He had chocolate brown hair like Sango and soft filled brown eyes. "Wow! Sango you look beautiful just like father said! You have to show him before we go! He said it was mother's dress! Come on! Come on!" Kohaku who seemed to forget about his previous dilemna quickly grabbed Sango's wrists and helped her out of her stupor.
"Right... but didn't you need help?" Kohaku looked up at his elder sister and shrugged, "After we see father!" Sango couldn't help but smile at Kohaku eagerness. He was always sincere and kind to everyone, and always spoke the truth, and if he said to see father, well, it was time to see father. He was always correct about that instinct.
Reaching the door handle, Kohaku pulled it open and there stood father. "Ah! Father, we were just looking for you," His father just smiled and patted the boy on the head. "I was just looking for you as well... My, Sango, you look elegant. I'm glad I kept that dress from your mother. If she were here, she would be glad." Blushing at the compliment, Sango bashfully looked down and slightly did a curtsy. "Thank you father." Soon, her elegance was forgotten as Kohaku felt himself looking up at father. His stare was slightly unnerving but it all seemed fine when he smiled.
"You forgot the bow Kohaku. I was wondering what seemed off. Other then that, you look like a real gentleman. You would make any woman proud."
"
"What's going on! Hey!" People looked left and right before being surrounded by pirates. Not the kind pirates, no, the bad kind. The kind like Naraku.
"Help me! Help!"
"Save us!
"Spare us! General Tajiya, help us!"
The cries from the dying people made Sango start to cry, why was this happening? Why?
"Everything." He simply states and disappears in the blanket of flames. Feeling his presence still there, she recovers some strength to stand and start to run. 'Heavy... It's too heavy...' She thought to herself as she tries to run away from Naraku. His laughter is heard from all around her as she follows the flame path.
"Kohaku!" Sango shouts as she sees a familiar figure. He's standing still with his back towards her. "Kohaku! Naraku came to the port to kill us! He killed father and he's now after us... we have to escape!" Sango couldn't help but feel a foreboding sensation as she realized something wasn't right. Why didn't he respond? Why wasn't he running away with her? Why wasn't he helping her.
"Koha-" Her voice disappeared when he turned around with his sword out. He had tears streaming down his face as he thrust into her very soul. "Ku..." The feeling of steel connected into her nerves as she looked down. His sword that he was holding was thrust into her, like a knife into a watermelon.
"I'm Sorry... if it wasn't for me... I wouldn't have sold you out... Miss... Forgive me."
'Miss?'
"Kohaku... do... you not know who I am..."
"Of course I do, you're the general's only daughter."
Before she could speak, Naraku's laugh spilled into her dying body as she felt Kohaku pull out his sword. "Die quickly miss... you won't be dying a slow miserable death with a wound like that. I'm sorry." His tears were still there as he walked passed her and to the figure behind her. Standing besides the man, Kohaku sheathed his rapier and looked to Naraku. "Good job Kohaku,"
Kohaku stood silent as he stared at the dying Sango. She looked sad, even depressed, until anger covered over her emotions as she hissed out. Blood spilled out as the words came pouring from her lips. "What did you do to him Naraku! You brainwashed him! Didn't you! Naraku release him from your slimy piraty grasp!"
"I don't think you're in any condition to bargain... Miss Sango Tajiya. Kohaku, come." As the flames arised behind the two figures Sango screamed out for Kohaku to come back until complete darkness soothed her. It was pretty warm, it must have been her blood that was warming her... she was dying... and she knew that time slowed and flip flopped for the dying... maybe that was the reason why she was feeling really warm. Like if someone was holding her close. Yearning for it's touch, Sango tried to curl into it's warmth and started to relax. "It's... not bad... dying... I'm sorry... Kohaku... I failed you..."
Shock went through her body as she remembered Kohaku. Her eyes bulged open as she tried to figure out where she was this time. Looking at the bed she was in, she couldn't help but blink. Where was she again? Was this a dream? Groaning, Sango tried to rise up from the comfy warmth but she wasn't allowed her freedom. Befuddled at not being able to rise, she turned over to find herself staring into a certain someone's face. He was staring at her contently, almost watching her every movements.
"Agh!!" She yelped out as she tried to push back the dashing pirate captain before her. Memories of the previous night flooded into her mind as she felt a certain blush creep onto her cheeks.
"Lady Sango! You scream like you've seen a ghost."
"Only because I'm in another bed with a MAN."
"You wound me Sango, I wouldn't do anything to you, but besides that, who's Kohaku?"
"Koha...ku? Agh! You were listening to me talk! How dare you invade in my privacy you... you... PIRATE!" Sango soon after tried to get away from him, but to no avail, he had his arms tucked tightly around her waist and was holding her in place next to him. His purple eyes scanned over her squirming form and smirk.
"Sango, why would I need to go and invade your privacy when I've already been next to you for half the night already? You were quite fine with me sleeping here." Sango stopped as she realized that she didn't complain at all last night when she was asleep... If anything, she probably... 'Could... Could he have been the warmth that I was clinging to...'
The feeling of embarrassment filled her to the core as she stopped dead. Sango couldn't think of anything to say to him about that... the pirate was baiting her after all. "Kohaku's my little brother." Sango said with a sigh, deciding it would be best for her to change the topic.
"Ah?" Miroku said as he moved his arms to grab her hands and turned her so that she was underneath him. "I already knew that." He said to her and smiled.
"Then why did you ask!" Sango angerly stated trying to get him to release her. Her attempts were faltered when he put his head against her forehead and he smirked at their closeness. "Curious to see what you would say."
"Ah... Ah..." She stuttered out soon after, not liking the current situation. "Should... Shouldn't you go... do... Pirate things now?" her words stumbled out in a quick breathe as she could feel his breathe on her. Why was he doing this to her... Why was her heart pounding so fast?
"I should, shouldn't I?" Sitting up on her thighs lightly, he gently pulled her wrists up and lifted her to his sitting level also. "But not before this." Her eyes widened as she felt a soft peck on her cheek and she stared at the captain who started to caress her cheek with soft kisses. Sango could have sworn he could hear her heart beating like a drum at that instance, and did the next thing that came to mind. Yank away.
At the same instance, Miroku was trying to pull her closer to him. This was her punishment for slapping him last night, even after she promised not to slap him... well, at least it wasn't in front of the crew.
It all happened in an instance, Sango pulled back hard, thinking that he would still try to hold her back, but soon found out that he wasn't holding onto her wrists... and she found herself a ticket to pain as her head collided into the wall behind her.
"Ah! Sango!"
"Ow..."
"What'd you think you were doing? You could have injured yourself, much less give yourself a concussion."
"..."
"Hey... Hey, don't do that! Ellipses are for chumps! Say something!"
"...I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't kissed me on the cheek..."
"What was that?"
"I wouldn't have pulled back if you hadn't advanced me like you did!"
"Oh! You mean your punishment? Sorry, I didn't expect you to try and throw yourself back... I thought you were enjoying it as much as I was." A smile appeared on Miroku's face as he came closer to Sango and lifted her up slowly. Moving his hand gently over the spot of Sango's woes, he frowned and let her lay down.
"Stay there, I'll get Kagome to get you some ice. Now that that is done, I'll be doing my 'pirate like duties' now." He watched Sango's face turned from complex to perplexed and he shrugged, "Did you want to say something?"
"Punishment?" Sango said soon after, raising her hand to her cheek as she looked up at him like if she were a mere child. "What'd I do to deserve that." Miroku blinked for what seemed like a millennium then smirked. "I told you last night that I didn't like to be slapped... so I decided that every time you slap me, crew or no crew, I'll kiss you lightly and make you want me in the process." The perverted side of him came out at that moment and Sango felt her eye twitch. "I will never like you, you stupid perverted pirate! Now GET OUT!"
Starting to throw miscellaneous things at him now, Sango couldn't help but feel angry, and yet... excited. How could such a pirate excite her to a point where her heart beats a thousand times a minute. Was she warming up to him? 'Nah...' She thought as she watched him retreat from his room and away from her throwing frenzy. When she heard the door close, she waited until it didn't open again and sighed.
"By the way! I'll get Kagome for you!" Said a careful Miroku as he opened the door and closed it again. Dealing with women were one thing, but dealing with an angry one... well you're screwed beyond eternity.
Sango sighed, "Miroku... huh? ... OH MY GOD! No Sango! NO! It's Pirate! PIRATE! Not... not... DAMN HIM!" Berating herself, she winced in pain as she clasped her head. "Yelling bad... Don't yell Sango... You'll give yourself a headache..."
(Break number one: WAAAAA!)
Waves splashed against the hull of the ship with fierce velocity. The clouds were closing in on the ship as if to cover it with a blanket of water. Men were filing out of the cabins and decks as they prepared for the worst.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Shouted a short, palish green imp man coming up the stairway. He was out of breathe when he reached his destination and clinging to his tall staff with two faces on it. As if on cue, the man before him snapped his fingers and he tried his hardest to not be tired.
"What is it Jaken." He calmly stated to his servant as he viewed his crew working there hardest to prepare for the upcoming storm. "I don't have time for feeble concerns and excuses, if it isn't worth my time... I'll kill you."
Jaken paled even more as he clenched onto his staff in fright. Knowing that Sesshomaru was the most dangerous fellow on the seven seas, he understood that he wasn't joking. He would kill him if he said something stupid. The wind picked up as Sesshomaru's long white hair picked up in it. It started to float over his shoulder and into his line of vision, but he paid no mind as he was staring intently with his sharp amber eyes towards Jaken. "Don't waste my time and tell me Jaken."
"Aye! Captain, the girl that we picked up at the last port has gone missing, and the crew can not find her. I couldn't find her at all myself and the crew suggested to tell you of the matter." Pausing under his cold stare Jaken jumped onto his knees and arms. "I have some of the crew looking for her now... but..." Before he could finish Jaken felt something huge step onto his head and onto his lower torso. "Gah!?" He yelped out as Sesshomaru calmly walked away from his abused servant.
"Jaken, I told you not to waste my time..."
A crying Jaken was weeping on the ships boards as he tried to keep his life in check. "Aye-"
"I already know where she is."
Jaken paused as he looked at the calm Sesshomaru looking towards the mast. There stood a 14 year old Rin playing with a doll that she had made. As if fate were against Jaken, Sesshomaru turned around with a small smile. "Jaken... I have a new job for you."
"Huh?!"
"Since you are so concerned over our guest... you will watch her and make sure she is safe from harm..."
Jaken clenched his fists then as he felt a shiver go down his spine. He knew something else was coming. "Yes, Mi'lord."
"Oh, and one more thing," He said nonchalantly as he walked over to the man steering his vessel. "If she is harm in any way... it'll be your head, along with the one who injured her... on a platter. Understand?"
Knowing his presence in grave danger staying there now Jaken quickly stood up and saluted. "Aye, Mi'lord!"
"Get out of my sight."
"Aye!" Shouted Jaken running very fast down the stairs and to the mast where the unconcerned girl played. Jaken sighed as if his life had been spared more then once. The girl who noticed his presence looked up and gave a toothy grin to him. "Good morning Jaken." In pain Jaken huffed angerly and pointed out to the girl. "It's not morning first off, it's mid-afternoon, and second it's not Jaken to you, it's Jaken-sama. You should be even grateful that Lord Sesshomaru even let you onto his ship. You ungrateful child."
"I'm sorry Jaken-sama. I forgot. Do you wanna play dolls with me?" Jaken felt his spirit go up in flames at how nonchalant this girl was. How dare she ask her superior to play such a childish game. Suddenly a clearing of the throat was heard as Jaken instantly recognized who did it. Raising his small imp like head up, Jaken met eye to eye with an unconcerned captain and a death stare that could probably kill.
"Uh... Rin, how about I take you up on that offer, do you have another doll..." He said in a quick and frightened way. It was like Lord Sesshomaru's eyes were saying, 'Play or die.' On cue, Rin gave Jaken her extra doll and excited began to tell the bored Jaken about how she plays and what she wants to happen to them. The crew who had passed by the two snickered to themselves at the sight of Jaken playing a little child's game. That lasted until Sesshomaru banged his rapier against the railing and immediately everyone shut up. Except for Rin.
"Rin, quiet." Said an unenthusiastic Sesshomaru.
All Rin did was stand up and nod. Keeping her promise, she sat back down and quietly played with her dolls. All of the crew could only imagine how spoiled she was with their captain... but that would never be talked about anywhere on the ship... unless they wanted their heads rolling on the ground.
"There is a storm coming as you can all see for yourselves, once you have readied your stations head inside and wait for the bell to ring. If it rings, you will be needed to man your stations and make sure the ship survives the night. If anyone of you mess up... it's your lives. That is all." With that, Sesshomaru walked away from view and into his cabin.
"Father, why did you give me this ship? Why couldn't you have given me the Reincarnation that you gave my half-witted brother." Walking over to a chest in the corner, he opened it and pulled out some shoulder armor and a chest plate. Putting it on, he calmly walked over to his mirror and stared at the figure before him. Two purple scratches on each cheek, one crescent moon on his forehead, cold amber eyes that could melt through metal, long white hair that remained soft and untangled... and his big fluffy tail over his shoulder. It was there just for decoration and to show that he had power.
"Father... why did my half brother Inuyasha get your best ship."
(Break Number Two: WEEEEEEEEEEE)
"Sango, you need to be more careful. If you give yourself a concussion..."
"I know, I know, believe me, I had one before. If it wasn't for that stupid pirate then I would have been in this situation..."
The girl with raven hair sat down next to Sango as she listened quietly to Sango. Apparently she had an eventful night and slapped him. Made sense, Kagome would have done it too... except not just once, but five times. "I see, you were trying to defend yourself, but you didn't slap him again, which was pretty good. I don't see why Miroku would do that though... I've seen him grope a lot of ladies in his life, but never on this ship. He loves this ship too much to do anything reckless like that. I wonder... do you like him Sango?"
Choking on air was the next thing Sango did as she slowly recovered from Kagome's question. Her faced was burned a fierce red as she tried to cover it with a pillow. "I... I thought I already told you, I hate pirates. They killed my kin and I'm going to get revenge..." Kagome just smiled softly as she patted Sango softly on her head.
"Don't worry about there being 'pirates' here. Sure they're pirates, but they're also people... people who want to go home and be with their families and friends. Don't just think that they're pirates because all of them want to... they have something that they need to search for out in this wide world... this is just another thing to do before they truly find themselves in the world."
Sango thought hard on this before looking at Kagome. The girl was right. They were just people who might have lost something just like herself. Maybe they're doing this to gain money for their family. Finally, she nodded in agreement and smiled. "Alright, I understand Kagome. Maybe I'll give everyone a second chance."
"Including Miroku?"
"Hell no, that pirate screwed up last night and this morning. He screwed his chances over."
Sighing, Kagome just giggled. "Okay,"
"Oi, Kagome, where are you?" Shouted an arrogant pirate in the room and he nonchalantly walked in as if he owned the place. "Right here Inuyasha, what's up?"
"Miroku spotted storm clouds ahead, and its not that kind of storm where we can stay inside, you should probably stay here or grab Sango and go to the cabins underneath. Since there's glass in here, you guys might injure yourselves." Kagome nodded and looked towards Sango, "You up to a walk?"
"Yeah, but first can I change?"
Inuyasha blinked before looking at the girl in the bed. She was still in her night gown and it showed a bit too much of her figure. A flush covered his face as he quickly turned around and stormed out the door. "I'll... I'll be going now then."
This caused Kagome and Sango to laugh at the poor guy as he walked out in a hurry. Not really caring about her clothing anymore, Sango just stretched as smiled. "Which dress shall I wear today?"
"You can wear this one." Kagome stated as she pointed towards the one ready on a chair. "Huh? How'd that get there?"
"I believe Miroku put it there for you. It's not my dress." Kagome finally smiled brightly when Sango flushed a deep red. "How does he know I'll even fit in it?"
"Hey, you wore my dress, so you should be able to wear this one." Came a quick witted response. "Now come on, let's try it on. I think maroon will go perfect for your figure."
All Sango could do now was sigh and get out of bed slowly. The good thing was that she didn't have a headache. Raising her arms she pulled off her night gown and Kagome helped her with the maroon dress. "How much does it need to be tied Kagome?"
"Not much, it ties in the back and it goes to your mid-back. It's really pretty though. I knew it would fit you." Kagome stated as she finished the last ties and turned Sango around. "Wow, you look gorgeous!"
Blushing Sango just nodded as she walked to the only mirror in the room. The dress she was wearing sort of reminded her of the dress in her dream. It was such a pretty dress. "We should go like Inuyasha said." Sango stated as she walked slowly to the door and opened it.
"Yup." Said a cheerful Kagome as she walked out with Sango.
As they walked across the ship, Sango watched the men station their areas and other small things. They were tying up the canons to the ship and tying small miscellaneous things to bigger things. Ordinary things that happened before a storm hit.
When they reached the door to the lower quarters Sango couldn't help but look back towards the steering wheel to see deep purple eyes looking towards her. Blinking, she shortly smiled and he waved with his free hand.
"Pirate."
"Beautiful."
Said both Sango and Miroku at the same time. They both knew that they couldn't hear each other, but they needed to say it anyways.
"What was that?" Kagome asked to Sango and Inuyasha to Miroku.
Both just replied in sync, "Nuthin'"
(Break Number Three: WIIIIIIIIII!)
Day soon became night as the storm turned out horrible as predicted. Miroku wiped the rain from his forehead as more rain plowed into him. "Inuyasha, help the crew pull the sails up. We don't want them torn. Hachi, take the wheel, I'm gonna help with the canons." Both responded by quickly getting to where they needed to be. Hachi took the wheel from Miroku as he jumped down the stairs to where they were bolted the cannons down and Inuyasha jumped down from the railing to where they were pulling the ropes.
"Put your back to it men!" Shouted Inuyasha as his leadership skills came through. Pulling the ropes, they finally managed to get the sails up and secured. Inuyasha then told the men to get inside, for the waves were getting heavier and harder to predict. A tidal wave could come at any minute and wipe this whole boat out... but that never happened before.
Wind wipped his own hair into his face as she scurried to where Miroku was. Miroku was holding the rope like a life line as if someone was in need of help, looking over, Inuyasha realized that it was a crew member who had slipped off. "Hang on!" Shouted the two at the same time as they helped pull the man up.
When they did so, they all heaved a long breathe when suddenly Hachi yelled out. "I.. I can't control the steering wheel master Miroku!!"
Miroku looked at Inuyasha and gave a short nod. He on the other hand grabbed the water logged man and brought him to the lower quarters. "Kagome!" Shouted a tired Inuyasha and if on the dot she appeared before him.
"What happened?" She questioned at the door when he brought him over. "He got a taste of sea water. Take care of him Kagome. I gotta help Miroku..." With that, he left Kagome the unconscious pirate and hurried across the ship almost slipping a couple times.
Dragging the boy in, Kagome got some help from some men and they laid him down. Sango appeared with a pack of medical supplies and a scared Shippou on her shoulders. "What's going on?" Shippou cried as Sango hushed him. "Here, can you take Shippou for me?" She asked a close pirate who nodded and lightly took the small child from her.
"Kagome, we should give him something warm and open up his airway. If he's waterlogged then he probably needs CPR." Kagome only nodded as she did exactly that, but hesitated before saying. "Anyone know CPR, or am I going to have to do it and then this man will probably live for another night to only die by Inuyasha's hands... so..." The men blinked before nodding. Knowing Inuyasha, he would kill them all for not volunteering to do it.
"I'll do it," Said a angry Sango before anyone replied. Everyone was shocked, even Kagome. They didn't know that she would even do CPR for a pirate. After a few compressions and breaths, the boy coughed out some water and started to breathe fine. "Are you alright?" Said Sango, who was a little out of breathe.
"Y-Y-yeah..." Said the boy coughing out some more water. Kagome took this chance to tell the crew to take him to a bed nearby. "Don't tell the captain what happened, 'kay?" Kagome added to the command and everyone nodded. Including Sango, who knew that he would kill him ten times over. Man, men and being over protective...
(Break number Four: WOOOOOOO!)
Miroku blinked a couple times before sneezing. Was someone talking about him? No, maybe it was the weather that was causing him to sneeze. Before anything else, he realized that the main rope holding the canon's was ripping. "Inuyasha! Take the wheel! The main rope is ripping!" His eyes were wide as he watched Miroku run across his own ship to stop it from ripping.
"Hachi, get some more rope!" He shouted as he struggled to hold it together. Worse scenario would be that all of their artillery would be lost in the sea... and probably with him. "Hurry!"
"Aye!" Shouted the reliable Hachi who scampered across to the lower decks. Pulling the doors open, he didn't notice the wind blowing the door back into him. "Gah!?" yelped Hachi as he hit the ground in pain. Kagome and Sango hurried over to him to see that he was bleeding. "Hachi! You're bleeding!" Shaking his head, he looked at the crew.
"Rope... Miroku... needs rope... Canons are about to fall..." With that he collapsed and Kagome looked towards two men. "Take him to a bed, I need to treat his injuries... Sango I need you to... Uh... Sango?" The men pointed to a running Sango with rope in her arms. "Kagome, I'll give the rope to Miroku, you and the crew take care of Hachi!" With that Sango pushed open the door leading to a not so pleasant sight. Everything was everywhere, and it was a mess. It was a surprise the ship was surviving this storm.
Lightning streaked across the sky as Sango pulled herself across the ship to where Miroku was struggling. "Miroku!" She shouted as she ran over almost slipping in the process. Recovering her balance, she saw the first thing cross his face.
"What the hell are you doing out here?!" She heard him shouting over the wind itself. Yup, Sango was right, it was anger that crossed his face.
"Hachi injured himself! I decided on a whim to help, now take the goddamn rope before it takes you and the canons!" She shouted at him, having her own anger tinted in her voice. "Get the hell out of here! I'll take the rope, now hurry inside!" Taking the rope briskly from her arms, he quickly turned around and started tying the ropes to help it from not ripping. When he finished, he looked up to find himself staring at his worst nightmare.
Sango stood transfixed with it also, it almost felt like time had stopped. "MIROKU! SANGO! Get the hell out of there!" Shouted a very disgruntled and worried Inuyasha as he tried to control the steering wheel. He had secured himself to the wheel itself knowing that this was probably going to happen.
Hearing that Sango was still there, Miroku attempted to do the next best thing, grabbing her arms and taking her out of her shock, he wrapped some loose rope around his and her waists and tied the rope to the main rope. It took another two seconds before he securely tied them and braced for the hit. A tidal wave was probably one of the worst things that could have happened in a storm. It was one of the leading factors that killed a minor part of the crew.
Water poured all over them as Miroku held the shocked girl to him. If anything, the wave would give out in another ten seconds and they'd be safe for the time being. Sango clenched her fists as she felt the roaring waters crash into them. If it wasn't for the ropes, they'd probably be swept away... dead most likely.
When the wave dissipated, Sango and Miroku were gasping for breathe. Sango was coughing out as some rain hit her face. The rope wasn't helping her breathe for it was tight against her and against Miroku, who was anger, but also concerned. Clinging to the ropes, Sango looked at Miroku and she saw him started to speak. "What in the nine hells were you thinking coming out here, you should have stayed with Kagome and the other crew members inside!"
"Sorry I was just trying to help!"
"You have no right to be out here!"
"Damnit, can't you just accept help when you get it!"
"Why the hell should you even try to help! Quit trying to be a hero!"
"What! How dare you! I'm not a hero you jerk! How can I just stay inside there knowing that you were going to get injured!"
The weather then took a change of course when more tidal waves came. The winds roared louder then it did before effectively shutting both of them up. Looking towards the rough waves Miroku coughed and gripped onto the rope. "Hang on. We'll talk about this later."
"Sure, that is if we live."
"Your mistaken to think that both of us are going to die. If anything, you'll live."
"What---"
The wave soon hit as she braced for the hit. The wave was intense, closing her eyes Sango grabbed the rope next to Miroku's hands and clung onto it as she felt her body rising from the floor. Miroku's was too as the water rushed past them. Crashing to the ground now, another tidal wave hit and caused them to go air born again.
'Can't... hold on...' Thought Sango as she couldn't get fresh air. The water was crashing onto them to much that she couldn't get much air. Accidentally letting go of the rope, she felt the rope snap under her extra weight.
'Shit!' The pirate thought as he hung onto the rope with a waterlogged Sango. The rope wasn't sturdy enough for them. Hanging onto the rope with dear life now, Miroku felt Sango cough out. The tidal wave was gone for now. "You okay?" He asked as he held onto her. She seemed pretty out of it to answer, "I'll take that as a no."
Before he knew, another tidal wave hit them from behind and the echoes from Inuyasha were the last things that he heard. "MIROKU! SANGO!"
(Break Number Five: WUUUUUUU!)
The warmth of the sand underneath Sango made her rise from the shoreline and cough out some more water. Her dress was ripped and she obtained a few more bruises and scratches on her knees and arms. "Where the hell am I?" She asked as she stared ff into the distance. Some debris of wood and board came along the shore as Sango stared at the vast ocean before her.
"I don't think I'm on the ship anymore." She said aloud as she looked around the Island. It was filled with soft white sand, Lots of green trees and grass, along with wood. As if her body couldn't take the pressure of standing, she collapsed onto her knees and felt the cold sea water drift up over her lap.
Closing her eyes, she decided to try and remember what had happened the previous day. Putting the puzzle pieces together, she opened her eyes. Why was she the one who was always in trouble? Why was she always the damsel in distress? Pounding her fist into the sand, she scowled at the sand and island before her. "Stupid pirates!"
(Break number Six: Wyyyyy?)
Miroku opened his eyes slowly to see a worried Kagome and Inuyasha before him. They had brought blanket and a bowl of warm soup. "You alright Miroku?" Kagome said quietly, giving off a depressed feeling. Miroku shortly nodded before taking the soup from her hands. Taking a sip from his spoon he looked at Inuyasha.
"Casualties?" Frowning, Inuyasha shortly nodded. "It's not really a casualty, much less man over board." Miroku heaved a sigh and raised his right hand to compress his temples. It was not great to wake up with a head ache.
"Okay, we look for him as soon as we can." He compromised with the two as he took another slow sip of his soup. He just remembered Sango just then and slightly frowned. Why had she endangered herself just to help him. 'When she comes by, I'll give her a lecture no one's ever heard of.'
Kagome took this chance to mumble out something but Miroku could barely hear her. "Kagome, Sorry I can't hear you, I think you need to speak up." He was already in a bad mood from thinking about Sango and the thought of losing another crew men. Inuyasha touched Kagome's shoulder and nodded to her.
"That's the thing Miroku..." Kagome started and inuyasha finished. "It's more like a 'We'll look for her as soon as we can.'" This caused Miroku to cough out the soup which he had just sipped. Kagome was still here, and the only other lady on the ship was... "When did you find this out?" He said sternly to the two as they shifted uncomfortably. "The crew took head counts this morning, it was right after we found your body hanging onto the rope." Kagome stated as she took his bowl of soup before he could do anything more... drastic with it.
"What the hell are we waiting for? Let's find her already. I have a lot to talk to her about when we find her. She can't have floated to far. Wasn't there an island nearby here that we spotted Inuyasha?" Miroku stated, trying to stay calm, but Kagome and Inuyasha knew that now was not the time to mess around... not when he was like this.
'He's probably pissed at Sango for coming out of the lower quarters with the rope... I'm a little peeved that the crew didn't stop her...' Inuyasha thought as he cracked his knuckles. "Yes, there is an Island nearby, but the crew feels unsettled about it."
"What do you mean?" Miroku said as he started to sit up with Kagome's help.
"It's Naraku's hideout."
A/N: And that's the end of that! Cliffie for you all! Muahahahaha... Just kidding. I hope you liked it, and I hope that I fixed the whole clumped paragraphs thing... This literally took over 14 pages in my writer program. I think I'm about to die now.
