Pirates
Chapter Eleven: Kraken
He will pay dearly. But how? Kagome had no idea, but soon enough she will come up with a plan. This was her first time losing a duel, and this will be the last time Inuyasha has his dignity.
Kagome swapped the deck with her dress. As much as she hated the stupid outfit, she had to wear it. Why? Who the hell knows. Oh wait, the captain does.
"Stupid dog-eared, cocky bastard who doesn't know what good for him-," Kagome grumbled.
"What was that?" said the one and only Mr. Cocky, also known as the captain of this ship, Inuyasha. Inuyasha obviously didn't like what Kagome said.
"You heard me!" Kagome snapped. Inuyasha growled which was quickly replaced with a smirk.
"Oh c'mon wench. Just because you lost the duel badly, doesn't mean you have to hate me," Inuyasha said. Kagome let out a frustrated sigh.
"Yeah right, Inuyasha. The only thing I hate is the fact that you haven't stopped talking about it ever since the duel ended!" Kagome yelled, more like screeched. It was true. Inuyasha kept talking about his victory and Kagome had to suffer through it the last two days.
Inuyasha plastered his ears, under the bandanna, against his head. "You don't have to scream it wench! Can't a guy be happy," Inuyasha retorted.
"Don't you mean cocky?" Kagome mumbled.
"What was that, wench!" Inuyasha demanded. Kagome let out a sigh.
"Inuyasha I have work to do. I have no idea how you and your crewmen survived in this ship with all this mold. In order to get the it out, I can't have you getting in the way," Kagome said.
"What do you mean by that, wench?" Inuyasha growled as he slouched to her eye level. Kagome smiled and patted his head.
"Be a good doggy, will ya, and leave me alone" Kagome said. Inuyasha glared at Kagome as she continued swapping the deck.
"Keh," Inuyasha said as he walked away. Kagome let out another sigh. She reached for a necklace hanging around her neck, hidden.
"I feel another jewel shard nearby. I have to tell Sango," Kagome under her breath. Wherever the jewel shard was, it was getting closer by the minute.
"Land ho!" a squeaky voice was heard throughout the ship. Kagome looked up and saw Shippo riding on Kilala. Kagome subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Kilala landed in the center of the deck. "I found a port with fancy ships nearby," Shippo said proudly.
"Do you know the coordinates?" Miroku asked.
Shippo nodded eagerly, "Latitude=35 degrees, 2.9 minutes North; Longitude 139 degrees, 5.3 minutes East," Shippo stated proudly. Miroku stared wide-eyed at the kit. (A/N: Yes, they are advanced in math and stuff like this. Their pirates!) Inuyasha walked towards the kit.
"Who taught you this stuff, brat?" Inuyasha asked. Shippo pouted.
"Okaa-san taught me," Shippo replied. Everyone turned towards Kagome. Sango as well. Kagome laughed nervously.
"You never know when it could've been useful," Kagome said sheepishly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Everyone keep to their posts and make sure this ship moves without problems and we're heading to get out new ship!" Inuyasha ordered. The crewmen cheered. Kagome let out a sigh.
"Inuyasha you will pay for this," Kagome mumbled.
"Kagome?" Sango asked worriedly. Kagome gave a small screech.
"Sango! D-Don't scare me like that!" Kagome said.
"Sorry, Kagome; didn't mean to scare you there… Anyway, when did you teach Shippo coordinates?" Sango asked.
"That was a long time ago. Didn't expect him to remember after all these years," Kagome replied. Sango raised an eyebrow.
"Years?" Sango asked.
Kagome chuckled nervously, "Shippo was a smart kid. I mean, it's not illegal is it?" Kagome said.
"For the captain to teach a child besides her first mate, me, is offensive," Sango said.
"I already taught you Sango," Kagome whined. Sango smiled teasingly.
"I know. I was just kidding," Sango replied.
"Sango!" Kagome whined louder. Sango let a small giggle escape her lips. Kagome sighed.
"Back to what's important. I feel jewel shards, but it's still some distance away," Kagome said.
Sango nodded. "So you want to go with our plan," Sango asked.
Kagome nodded.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo yelled. Kagome turned to Shippo jumping on her almost throwing her off balance.
"Hey, Shippo. Why didn't you tell me where you were going? I've been worried," Kagome said while hugging him.
"Gomenasai, Okaa-san. I was just so bored and doing chores is so boring," Shippo whined.
"Alright," Kagome said.
The crewmen's yells filled the ship.
"Stand your ground men! Keep this ship afloat!" Inuyasha ordered.
"Grab your weapons!" Miroku ordered. All men, still panicking, grabbed their swords or pistols. Most people wanted the swords because the pistols cme out recently. Hardly any of the crewmen knew how to use them. Kagome and Sango, still in their dresses, picked up their own weapons.
"Sango! I feel them!" Kagome yelled.
"Got it!" Sango replied. Operation get the jewel shards, was in action.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo squealed and clung to Kagome's neck. Kagome hastily held unto him while trying to maintain her own balance.
"It's a Kraken!" a crewman yelled. 'Kraken? There's no such thing on this side of the sea,' Kagome thought. (A/N: Pictures on Kraken in my profile if you want an idea. )
"You three find shelter!" Inuyasha ordered to Sango, Kagome, and Shippo.
"Are you crazy?" Sango yelled.
"We're fighting!" Kagome replied.
"You're women!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Look at your crewmen. You're gonna need our help!" Kagome yelled. The ship leaned violently to one side. Kagome and Sango fell down while Inuyasha held his ground and Miroku held unto the edge of the ship. The crewmen just slid against the deck. 'At least Sango and I won't have to mop the deck. The crewmen are doing it for us,' Kagome thought. Kagome sensed this kraken. She knew it wasn't just a regular sea monster, the kind people told children to keep them from going near the deep parts of the shore. This kraken had a demonic aura. This meant that it was a demonic kraken. Kagome moved closer to Sango.
"Sango-," Kagome began.
"It's a demon," Sango stated. Kagome smiled. She picked a good first mate, even if she was a woman.
The ship again shifted violently to the other side. Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku held unto the side of the ship. Inuyasha was beginning to have problems, but his ego did not allow anybody see him fall, literally. The crewmen again slid against the other side of the ship.
"What the hell are you doing!" Inuyasha roared. "Stand your ground!"
The creaking of the ship's mast was heard. A large tentacle began to rip it off. Inuyasha raised his tetsusaiga and slashed at the tentacle. Crewmen groaned as more of the ship was being ripped off by whatever that thing was. Inuyasha's tetsusaiga missed by a little. This kraken was fast. Kagome let go of Shippo, but he refused and held unto her leg instead. Kagome let out a small sigh. Shippo began shivering against her leg. Kagome gently pat his head in comfort. Shippo lessened his grip and shaking, but he didn't stop.
Kagome and Sango took a chance at it. Sango hit first. Her sword left a small scratch on the tentacle, but nothing it couldn't handle. With Shippo still shaking on her leg, Kagome transformed her mikonoken into its bow and arrow form. She notched her arrow and took aim. She allowed her spiritual powers to fuel the arrow before letting it fly. The arrow made a whizz sound as it passed. The spiritual power flying around it.
"I think it's gonna make it," Sango mumbled. The arrow pierced the tentacle making the kraken cry out in pain. The kraken used another tentacle and yanked out the arrow.
Inuyasha growled, "That thing is powerful." Miroku stood up. He ripped the beads off his wrist.
"Wind Tunnel!" Miroku cried. The powerful wind began sucking up the pieces of wood and water. The kraken held unto the ship that was being rocked by Miroku's wind tunnel.
"Stupid! What are you doing!" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku winced in pain. He hasn't held his wind tunnel this long before.
"Miroku!" Sango yelled. Inuyasha grabbed Miroku wrist and shut it.
"I'll try to use my Wind Scar," Inuyasha said.
"But you've never even tested that technique yet!" Miroku said. The ship moved violently sideways. The crewmen slid along with it.
"Stupid men," Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. He looked up at the kraken. The kraken roared showing its large teeth.
"Ahh!" Shippo yelled still clinging unto Kagome's leg. The crewmen also began to scream in terror. Kagome and Sango took a small step back while Inuyasha and Miroku stood their ground.
Inuyasha stood in a position. He wanted to do the Wind Scar, but in order to do it, he needed the wind of a demonic aura. The last time when Kagura and Kanna attacked, Inuyasha was going to use the Wind Scar but couldn't. Why? Because 1) Kanna's mirror was sucking all of the crewmen's souls and everything else in its path and 2) because neither Kagura nor Kanna gave off a wind of demonic aura. Inuyasha found out the secret to completing the Wind Scar technique, but never practiced it before.
The kraken crashed his tentacles into the wood of the ship harder than before. Inuyasha's eyebrow began to twitch.
"That damn kraken is ruining my ship… I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR THAT!" Inuyasha yelled as he charged at the kraken. He used his tetsusaiga to slice one of the kraken's tentacles off. The kraken roared in pain. The remaining tentacles began to slice through the air uncontrollably.
"Inuyasha you're so stupid! You just made the thing angrier!" Kagome yelled. 'Same ol' captain; as reckless as ever,' Miroku thought. The crewmen got down and covered themselves to keep away from the flying tentacles while the only non-cowards (Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Kilala transformed). Shippo was still holding unto Kagome's leg.
"Shippo that kraken has jewel shards and we have to get them," Kagome said prying Shippo off her. It was a hard task, but Kagome finally got Shippo off.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. Kagome didn't have a chance to process what was going on before a tentacle swapped her into the seawater.
"Kagome!" Miroku yelled.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo screeched. Inuyasha turned around the second he heard Kagome scream. Kilala roared. She dived to reach Kagome, but was swatted away by another tentacle. Luckily Kilala regained control and stopped herself from hitting anything.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. He was too late, the kraken took Kagome down with it ignoring the ship. Inuyasha's eyes widened. That kraken wanted Kagome all this time. He turned to Sango. "She had the jewel shards with her all this time, didn't she?" Inuyasha said. Sango nodded warily fighting back the tears that were forming in her eyes. Inuyasha sheathed his tetsusaiga and without a second though, dived into the water.
"Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku yelled. Shippo remained shaking.
With the Drowning and Struggling Kagome…
The tentacles circled around her waist and held her arms restrained. The air left in her mouth was slowly leaving. She struggled as much as she could. After a few seconds of struggling, Kagome remembered about her dagger tied to her thigh. Luckily, no matter what she wore, she always had her dagger. Only one problem, how is she supposed to get a dagger under her dress? The corset wasn't helping either…
Damn the captain and these stupid dresses.
Air. Kagome was screaming for it. No! She was not fainting now. Her mind slowly drifted to the jewel shards around her neck. Kagome panicked. 'No, no, no, no, no! This isn't supposed to happen! My job as a priestess is to protect the jewel shards!' Kagome thought.
The kraken continued to swim until it reached the sea floor. Kagome could barely breath now. Her struggles began to stop and her eyes began to feel heavy. She could see the clear water around her and… silver?
Kagome had no chance to see who her savior was as she gave into the blackness.
With the Silver-Haired Hero…
He found her! Who in the world would order a kraken to drag a female pirate to the ocean floor? Who knew?
Inuyasha saw as Kagome struggles slowed to a stop and her eyes drifted shut. Inuyasha swam faster. If her were a human, he would've drowned. Luckily, he's part demon and has more abilities than humans.
The kraken's tentacle coiled around Kagome's neck. Inuyasha only had a few moments to act before the kraken squeezed her head off or something. Inuyasha raised his claws ready to strike. He could see the kraken tighten its arm. He swam and began to slash at the tentacle. The kraken roared in pain releasing Kagome.
Inuyasha reached out for her. With no second thought, he swam back to the surface. Inuyasha didn't bother to look back at the kraken. His lungs were beginning to ask for air. It was hard, but bearable.
'Just a but more! Hold on Kagome!' Inuyasha thought. Inuyasha gave one more kick and breathed in the sweet air. He pulled Kagome's head out of the water.
"Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku yelled.
"Inuyasha! Okaa-san!" Shippo yelled. The crewmen's cheers were heard at Inuyasha's victory of saving the lovely maiden.
"Throw the ladder!" Miroku ordered. Inuyasha saw closer to the ship and saw the wooden ladder fly down. Inuyasha placed Kagome carefully on his shoulder as he climbed up. Sango and Miroku helped Inuyasha and Kagome up the deck. Kagome's limp body sprawled against the deck.
"We have to do something! Kagome's out of breath!" Sango said worriedly. Inuyasha didn't have to think twice before ripping the corset off.
Kagome began to cough violently as she spit out chunks of water. The crewman, Daisuke, handed Sango as towel. Sango wrapped it tightly around Kagome.
"Kagome? Kagome, are you okay?" Sango asked. Kagome spit out the remaining water.
"Stupid corset and stupid captain making me wear that almost costing my life-," Kagome mumbled.
"What was that wench! I just saved you life!" Inuyasha growled. Without warning, Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha.
"Thank you for saving my life, Inuyasha!" Kagome said. Inuyasha blushed under her body heat. He scratched his ear or bandana.
"It was nothing, wench," Inuyasha replied nonchalantly. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were surprised at Kagome quick change of mood. Miroku's surprised turned into a perverted smirk. Sango saw this, though.
SLAP!
"Pervert," Sango said as Miroku rubbed his red cheek. Miroku shook the idea out of his head, or at least the majority of it, and turned serious.
"Forgive me for interrupting your special moment," Miroku began. Inuyasha glared at Miroku while Kagome simply stared blankly at him. "But, Lady Kagome, are the jewel shards still in your possession?" Miroku asked. Kagome eyes widened. She let go of Inuyasha as her arms flew around her neck.
The jewel shards…
"The jewel shards… I don't have them…" Kagome said silently.
