Pirates
Chapter Three: Another Big Pain
The wind came in through the porthole in Sango's and Kagome's cabin. Kagome's eyes fluttered open. The first thing she saw was the little kitsune sleeping next to her. She smiled. Kagome quickly moved her feet to the opposite side of the bed and sat on the edge. She yawned and straightened out her dress. She walked toward her old clothes and took out two pink jewels. 'I still have a long way to go 'till I complete the jewel,' Kagome thought. She put the two jewel shards of the Shikon no Tama back in her pant's pocket. 'Who knows when or where I'll find the other jewel shards,' Kagome added to her train of thoughts. She shrugged off the idea. She walked over to Sango and shook her gently.
"Wake up sleepy head," Kagome said. Sango yawned and stretched out on her head.
"Few more minutes," Sango said.
"Wake up," Kagome again said.
"No," Sango simply said. Kagome frowned. She quickly came up with an idea and smirked.
"Miroku's here to see you," Kagome whispered. Sango's eyes shot wide open.
"Where?" Sango asked. Kagome burst out laughing. She held her stomach. Sango frowned. She then blushed.
"That's not funny, Kagome," Sango said.
"Yes it is," Kagome said in between laughs.
"No it's not. He's a pervert! Do you know what he could've done to us," Sango said still blushing.
"Oh come on, you so like him," Kagome said giggling.
"I do not!" Sango yelled blushing even more.
"Whatever you say," Kagome said. Sango blushed a bit more.
"Oh yeah! What about you and Inuyasha," Sango said. Kagome froze.
"What about me and Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Are you sure you don't like him?" Sango asked.
"Are you kidding me! He's insensitive, he's a jerk, he has no respect, he's self-centered, and he is so not worth it," Kagome said.
"Are you sure about that? I mean, you have been doing what he asked of you without questioning," Sango countered. Kagome blushed.
"Only because he saved you and Shippo from possibly getting Hypothermia," Kagome replied.
"Okay, whatever you say," Sango said.
"Anyway, we better get ready to make breakfast," Kagome said trying to change the subject. Sango nodded. They both took the corset's and put it on eachother, equally as tight. They winced but ignored it and paid attention to the lack of air. Shippo woke up.
"Good morning," Shippo said sleepily. Sango and Kagome smiled.
"Good morning, Shippo," the two women said in unison. Shippo jumped to Kagome and gave her a hug. He did the same with Sango. He jumped on Kagome's shoulder.
"Well, another day of kitchen work," Kagome said. They made their way to the kitchen.
With Inuyasha…
"Wake up, sleepyhead," Miroku said. Inuyasha growled on his bed.
"Get lost," Inuyasha said between his teeth.
"If I do that you'll miss breakfast," Miroku said.
"I can last a whole lot longer without food ya know," Inuyasha replied. Miroku began thinking of a plan to wake Inuyasha up. He smirked at his idea.
"If you want, I'll ask Miss Kagome to make ramen just for you," Miroku smirked. Inuyasha's ears twitched and turned to face Miroku.
"No," Inuyasha replied and went back to sleep. Miroku sighed.'
"Alright then. I already know that once you make up your mind, no one can change it," Miroku said. Inuyasha ignored him and sat up on his bed.
Inuyasha crossed his arms, "Using Kagome thinking she's my weakness. I don't have a weakness," Inuyasha pouted silently.
In the Kitchen (with Sango, Shippo, and Kagome)
"Sango can you pass me the salt?" Kagome asked.
"Sure thing, Kagome," Sango threw the salt to Kagome and she caught it. Kagome and Sango worked quickly to make the breakfast. After a few more minutes, they finished. They both loaded the food unto the tray and made their way to the deck. Shippo helped clear out the way so they can get through.
"Make way! Make way! Do you want your food?" Shippo ordered. Kagome and Sango made their way to the crewmen sitting on the deck. Kagome couldn't hold back the giggle at Shippo's take in of command. Kagome and Sango set food in front of each crewman. Kagome set the food in front of the man who she kicked yesterday. She saw his lip was busted and smirked. The man scowled at her.
"What are you looking at!" the man yelled. Kagome ignored the man. She kept serving the food to the other crewmen.
"Don't talk to Kagome that way!" Shippo yelled. The man growled and Shippo his behind Kagome. Kagome spotted Sango and walked to her.
"Hey, Sango?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, what is it, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Have you seen Inuyasha? I have to give him his breakfast," Kagome asked.
"I'm sorry, Kagome. I haven't seen him," Sango replied. Kagome frowned until she spotted Miroku. Kagome walked to him still holding two bowls on one tray.
"Miroku!" Kagome walked to him. When Miroku saw her, he smiled.
"Good morning, Miss Kagome and to you to Shippo. What is it that I can help you with?" Miroku asked still smiling.
"Good morning!' Shippo said with a smile.
"Good morning to you too, Miroku. I was just wandering if you've seen Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Miroku grinned.
"Is there a specific reason you want to see the Captain?" Miroku asked his grin turning to a perverted one. Kagome blushed ten different shades of reds.
"N-No! I was just asking so I can give him his breakfast," Kagome replied.
"Well, he was in his bedroom not wanting to come out. I guess you can try to go to him," Miroku replied. Kagome smiled.
"Thank you, Miroku," Kagome replied. Miroku nodded. "Oh, here's your breakfast, Miroku," Kagome said handing him his food. Miroku took it from her hands.
"Thank you, Miss Kagome," Miroku said. "Oh and Miss Kagome," Miroku asked. Kagome turned back to him while balancing the tray.
"Yes, Miroku," Kagome replied.
"Inuyasha really isn't exactly in the best of moods. So if he says anything… mean… ignore him," Miroku said.
"Thank you for the advice, Miroku," Kagome said. Miroku smiled watching her run off. More like watching a certain place, her behind. (Miroku! You're such a pervert! ^_^)
"Miroku may seem like a nice guy, but I still have my suspicions," Shippo said walking behind Kagome. Kagome giggled.
Kagome made her way to the Captain's cabin. Miroku once gave Kagome, Sango, and Shippo a tour. The way to his cabin was a bit fuzzy but she was sure she was right. In addition, Shippo's great sense of smell helped.
"I'm sure this one's it, Kagome," Shippo said pointing at a door.
Inside, Inuyasha ears twitched as he heard voices out his cabin door. He also smelled Sakura blossoms and Ocean Breeze. He loved the smell. He also smelled a pup. He heard a knock at his door and quickly snapped back into reality.
"Who is it?" Inuyasha asked. The door creeks open and he sees Shippo. He opens the door wider and he sees Kagome holding a tray of food.
"I have your breakfast for you, Captain," Kagome said standing still outside the room. Inuyasha growled.
"Didn't Miroku tell you I didn't want any food!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome stood at the door.
"I just thought you probably changed your mind," Kagome replied no flinching after his outburst.
"Stupid wench," Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. Kagome's anger was rising, but she stayed calm.
"You're mean! Can't you show any signs of gratitude after Kagome came all this way!" Shippo yelled.
"Listen here, brat! I never asked her to come here! So you can go back doing your job for all I care!" Inuyasha yelled back at Shippo.
"Alright, I guess if you don't want anything from me, I'll just leave it here in case you want any," Kagome replied calmly. "Come on, Shippo," Kagome said. She left the plate of food on a nearby shelf and walked out the door with Shippo behind her. Inuyasha still sat cross-legged on his bed with arms crossed.
"Stupid wench. I never asked for food… (Etc.)" Inuyasha kept mumbling/pouting.
Out on the Main Deck…
Kagome and Shippo emerged from downstairs of the ship. Sango ran up to them with the tray in her hand.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. Kagome and Shippo turned to see Sango.
"Can I help with you something, Sango," Kagome asked. Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder.
"Where were you, Kagome? Miroku told me you went to go see that jerk," Sango replied.
"I did go see that jerk. I just wanted to give him breakfast," Kagome replied.
"He didn't even say thank you to Kagome" Shippo said.
"Seriously, that guy has no life," Sango said. Shippo nodded.
"Well, now that we're done with that, let's go back to the kitchen," Kagome said. They all made their way to the kitchen.
With Miroku…
Miroku walked back to Inuyasha's cabin. The first thing he saw, was an empty bowl and plate on a nearby shelf. He smirked at what he saw.
"I see Miss Kagome left you your breakfast. Did you enjoy it?" Miroku asked at the cross-legged figure.
"I didn't ask the wench for anything," Inuyasha mumbled.
"Ahh… but you still accepted," Miroku replied.
"Would you shut-up!" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku put up his hands in defense.
"I am simply stating the obvious," Miroku replied.
"Keh," (I think it's Feh.) Oh well) Inuyasha keh'd. "I'm gonna go see how the crew id doing," Inuyasha added.
"I'll accompany you," Miroku said. Inuyasha said nothing and simply made his way to the main deck.
With Kagome, Sango, and Shippo…
Kagome and Sango finished in the kitchen and made their way to their cabin with Shippo.
"Captain, have you noticed that we haven't practiced our sword fighting, you never know when there might be trouble," Sango said.
"You are right, Sango. Should we go practice?" Kagome asked.
"Now? Here? What about Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Don't worry," Kagome reached for her sword and took part of from its sheath, "He won't bother us," Kagome added. Sango and Kagome smirked. "Only thing is," She put all her sword back in its sheath, "I am not practicing in this dress," Kagome said. Sango laughed.
"Wow! Can I watch you two practice?" Shippo asked.
"Of course you can, Shippo," Sango replied. Kagome smiled. They change and in a few seconds, they were ready. (Wow! That was fast!) They both put their swords in their belts and made their way outside. They climbed out to find many men staring at them. Kagome almost blushed at all the attention but stayed calm and so did Sango.
"You guys don't mind if we practice a bit, do you?" Kagome asked the crew. All the men smirked.
"Yes I do," said a gruff voice. Kagome recognized it and turned. Behind her was standing the captain himself. He was wearing a white linen shirt with a brown waistcoat. He also was wearing a red headband. "What are you doing! Aren't you supposed to be working!" Inuyasha yelled. It sounded more of an order than a question.
"For your information, Sango and I finished and just wanted to freshen up on our sword skills," Kagome replied. Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder.
Miroku came in, "Well, as long as you finished your chores."
"Who's the captain here, you or me!" Inuyasha snapped back at Miroku.
"You of course," Miroku replied.
"Can't we practice! We aren't doing anything wrong," Sango said.
"What bravery, Miss Sango," Miroku walked over to Sango and cupped her hands in his, "Will you bear my children?" Miroku asked.
SLAP!
"You pervert! Can't you think of anything else but that!" Sango yelled.
Shippo shook his head, "He will never learn," Shippo said. Inuyasha and Kagome nodded.
"My dear Sango, you wound my heart," Miroku said rubbing his red cheek.
"Well, if you want to practice so much. Why don't you practice on me?" Inuyasha smirked.
"If that's a challenge. I accept," Kagome replied smirking.
"Get ready to eat my dust," Inuyasha said.
"You'd be lucky if I didn't blow up your ship on the first strike," Kagome replied. Everyone went to the sides of the ship and cleared the middle. Inuyasha took out his sword. Kagome stared at it. Inuyasha saw this and his smirk widened.
"Like my Tetsusaiga?" Inuyasha asked. The Tetsusaiga was a large sword with a pointy end. It was huge! Kagome snapped back to reality. Kagome took out her own sword. It was large but not as big as Tetsusaiga. "What's that?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome looked at her sword; "This is my Mikonoken (Miko sword). It was handed down to the strongest of priestesses," Kagome replied.
"Strongest of priestesses, huh? Well then wouldn't that mean –" Inuyasha was cut off.
"Yes, I guess you can say I am a pretty powerful priestess. Is there a problem?" Kagome grinned.
"In your dreams," Inuyasha replied. They both took their stances. Kagome was on one side of the ship, and Inuyasha on the other. They stood there a moment until Inuyasha charged without warning. Kagome barely dodged his attack. Inuyasha smirked. Kagome pushed him off as hard as she could. When Inuyasha jumped back, Kagome charged. She was silent, her face neutral but her eyes showed fiery determination. They're swords crossed eachother. They pulled back and attacked once more. Everyone stared in awe at how good they were.
Inuyasha swung his sword, Kagome dodged. Kagome charged at Inuyasha and began using offense. Inuyasha was left using defense, but not for long. The battle raged on for what seemed like hours. Kagome felt everyone's intense gaze on her and Inuyasha but refused to let that get in the way. They're huge swords connected again with a CLANG! Inuyasha charged at Kagome and used offense. Kagome was barely catching up. 'Darn it, I can barely keep up,' Kagome thought. Inuyasha smirked and pushed harder on Kagome's sword. Kagome pulled away. Inuyasha took the chance and charged. He knocked Kagome's sword right out of her hand. The sword turned back into its original form, which was still beautiful. Kagome reached to her thigh and took her dagger. Inuyasha didn't notice and put his sword behind her back making her face towards him.
Inuyasha smirk widened at his victory, or so he thought. They were both exhausted. Their chests were heaving up and down. Sweat rolled down their cheeks. "I guess I win," Inuyasha said.
"Think again," Kagome replied. Inuyasha's gaze followed hers and saw the dagger near his guts. One small move and the dagger would kill him. It was Kagome's turn to smirk.
"Keh," Inuyasha keh'd. He dropped his sword from Kagome's back and stepped back. Kagome also moved her dagger from it's spot and hid it again on her thigh. She calmly walked over to her sword and put it back in its sheath. It had a black leather covered hilt. On the blade, it had gratings on it. It looked like hieroglyphics.
Miroku walked in, "It looks like a draw." Miroku said. Kagome sticked out her tongue at Inuyasha.
"Keh!" Inuyasha replied. Kagome walked towards Sango.
"Kagome! That was amazing!" Shippo yelled. He ran to Kagome and hugged her.
"Thank you, Shippo," Kagome replied.
"Wow Kagome! That was amazing! I never saw you fight like that…" Sango paused for a moment. "How come I never saw you fight like that?" Sango asked.
"Well, number one is because Inuyasha was actually a real challenge. I don't think I'll ever beat him a second time," Kagome replied.
"Even though it was just a spar, it seemed pretty intense," Sango said. Kagome nodded.
"Well, it doesn't matter! Kagome was awesome and she can beat anyone," Shippo said.
"Aww… thank you Shippo," Kagome replied. Shippo smiled.
"Wow Inuyasha, never thought you'd have a match," Miroku asked.
"Keh! She was hardly a challenge," Inuyasha replied.
Miroku sighed, "You and you're big ego-"
"I heard that, monk!" Inuyasha quickly replied. In the background there was cheering. Inuyasha looked around and found his crew clapping or whistling. Kagome blushed. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at eachother and more whistling could be heard. Inuyasha and Kagome quickly looked away from eachother to hide their flustered faces.
"Who is everyone whistling at, Kagome?" Shippo asked. Kagome blushed more.
"Nobody. Let's go make lunch," Kagome quickly sated. She had Shippo in her arms, grabbed Sango by the hand, and practically dragged her to the kitchen. When the two girls and the kitsune disappeared, Inuyasha started to get annoyed with the whistling. Inuyasha growled at his crew.
"All of you stop that and get back to your posts!" Inuyasha ordered. Everyone froze in their spots and quickly went back to their posts. Everyone knew better than to mess with their captain. Inuyasha began to mumble something under his breath as he walked to the steering wheel. The man who was steering the wheel walked unto the main deck when he saw Inuyasha. Then Inuyasha took the wheel and began to steer.
With Kagome, Sango, and Shippo…
Kagome was silent the whole time in making lunch. Sango noticed the pink tint on her cheek and got worried.
"Kagome, are you okay?" Sango asked. Kagome snapped back to reality.
Kagome gave a nervous chuckle, "Y-Yeah. Why would you think that," Kagome said putting her arm on the back of her head. Sango put her hand on Kagome's forehead.
"Doesn't look like you have a fever," Sango said. Kagome let out a big sigh.
"Are you sure you're okay, Kagome?" Shippo asked with concern in his voice.
"I'm fine. I promise," Kagome replied. Sango didn't push any further but was gonna keep an eyes on her. 'Kagome does notlike Inuyasha, right? I mean… no she couldn't. Not that I have any thing against it. Oh well, she'll tell me in her own time,' Sango thought.
Another POV:
"Avast Ye! Ship ahead!" yelled the man at the top of the mast. The captain of the ship looked over the ledge. He was a wolf-demon. He had blue eyes and wore his hair in a high ponytail. He had handsome features. His name was… Captain Kouga. He smirked.
"Everyone prepare to attack!" yelled the captain. All the crewmen began to run around. "We got ourselves a load!" the captain added. The men loaded the cannons. "On my mark… Fire!" they fired the cannons and it hit their target.
Inuyasha's Ship:
Kagome and Sango were almost finished with lunch, the ship shook violently. All the food fell to the floor. Kagome and Sango ran out to the main deck. They had their swords at their sides. They didn't bother change back into their cots. Shippo was on Kagome's shoulder. The crewmen were running around. Kagome and Sango's eyes showed confusion. Just then, they heard another WHOO! pass right by them. Kagome grabbed Shippo and put him under her and both her and Sango ducked to see a cannonball fly right above them. Sango and Kagome quickly jumped back up.
"Kagome! Sango! Go back under the ship!" Kagome and Sango heard a male voice yell. It was Miroku. They ran towards him. "Go back down to your cabin. You'll be safe down there.
"No! We wanna stay here and help," Kagome replied. Miroku cupped Kagome's hands.
"Will you do the honor of baring my children. With your loyalty and-." Miroku was cut off.
SLAP!
"Are you crazy! This is not the time!" Kagome yelled. The ship shook again. Shippo held unto Kagome for dear life. All four looked over the edge to see pirates climbing the side of the ship! Kagome and Sango took out their sword.
"We'll hold them off. You do the rest," Sango said.
"I admire you're bravery but there are too many for just the two of women to handle," Miroku said. Kagome and Sango smirked.
"Oh, don't worry about us," Kagome replied. Kagome spotted Inuyasha helping the other men. She stared at hoe determined and cute he looked at that moment. She mentally slapped herself. 'No! You do not like him! He's a jerk!,' Kagome thought. Ofcourse, her actions did not go unnoticed by the other three pirates. When Kagome looked back up, she saw them staring at her. She blushed. "Well, you go ahead, Miroku. We'll take care of those pirates," Kagome said trying to change the subject. Miroku smirked.
"Okay. See ya," Miroku said as he ran off to help everyone else. Kagome turned to Shippo.
"You go downstairs where you'll be safe," Kagome told Shippo. Shippo nodded and left.
"Ready?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. They both turned and saw the men already climbing unto the ship. They were about to charge when the ship shook again. Kagome and Sango lost heir balance for a second but found their footing. Many climbed on the ship and so did the captain of the other ship. Both women took their stances.
Let the battle begin…
