Pirates
Chapter Twelve: Inuyasha's New Ship
She had them. Kagome remembered wearing them. She was gonna steal the kraken's jewel shards, but it seems it got hers' first.
"What do you mean you don't have the jewel shards!" Inuyasha growled.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo yelled as he snuggled into Kagome's belly. Kagome wrapped her arms around the kit.
"I had them before the kraken was trying to choke me," Kagome replied. Sango cut in.
"We'll talk about this later. I don't want you getting a cold," said Sango worriedly. Sango gently led Kagome to their cabin with Shippo on their tail as Miroku and Inuyasha were left pondering.
"Well, it's obvious that whoever sent that kraken, wanted the jewel shards," Miroku said. Inuyasha growled.
"All of those jewel shards we gathered. Gone. Kagome was capable of keeping them pure, though. Very pure," Inuyasha said.
"Yeah, who knows what we would've done with the jewel shards before the Lady Kagome arrived," Miroku said.
Yes, before Kagome arrived, Miroku was the closest thing to being "pure". Considering him being a monk. He's not pure, but if someone with demonic blood coursing through his veins held at least one jewel shard, he would be corrupted. And… well… Miroku isn't exactly even close to being pure. Some older priests referred to him as a wise monk. That is until they see him with other women. Then they call him and unholy or tainted monk… It's a dramatic flip actually. -_-;
Inuyasha left the jewel shards in Kagome's protection knowing she was capable. Boy was he wrong.
With Kagome and Sango…
"What are we gonna do now, Okaa-san?" Shippo asked. Kagome remained silent.
"All of those years of searching for the jewel shards, ruined," Sango said. Kagome stared blankly out the porthole.
"Well we can't drown in self-pity. We have some jewel shards to recover," Kagome said. She turned towards her former first mate. Despite Kagome not being a captain anymore, Sango remained loyal to Kagome. As a first mate and a friend.
"I don't know about you, but I am bored and that dip in the ocean proved to be refreshing," Kagome said. Sango chuckled, but then shook her head.
Sango's eyes widened, "But, Captain, you could've been killed!"
"I'm alive, aren't I?" Kagome replied. Sango sighed.
"Yeah, I guess," Sango said.
"Well, then what are we waiting for! I'm starving! And I really want to get out of these cages people call dresses" Kagome smiled. The two girls quickly changed and put their weapons at their hips. They smiled as Kagome put her arm around Sango. "C'mon, Shippo!"
The three headed out onto the main deck.
With Inuyasha/Main Deck…
"Dammit! I should've never left the jewel shards with that wench!" Inuyasha growled as he lay on his bed, his legs crossed and arms behind his head. His demon side wanted to take over from all the anger building up. Luckily, Tetsusaiga was at his side. "I'm never trusting that wench with anything ever again."
But you saw her swordplay. She's not bad at all. That's why you left her with the jewels.
Keh! I should've just held unto them.
Another problem. Those jewel shards can easily corrupt you and you'll turn into a full demon. Everyone will find out you being a hanyou.
Keh!
Well, look on the bright side. As soon as the crew announces that this ship is too ruined to sail, Kagome will have to get you another one.
Inuyasha smirked. Yes, Kagome owes him a brand new ship ever since she lost the sword fight. This just made his day. His stomach growled. And maybe some Ramen will help too.
Inuyasha stood up and began making his way to the main deck. He climbed the few steps before bumping into something.
"My most apologies, Master Inuyasha," said the flea demon, Myoga as he bowed. "Your ship seems to be falling apart. We must find port soon before this ship truly rends," Myoga stuttered out with small beads of sweat.
Inuyasha smirked, "Begin heading Northeast to the port according to Shippo's coordinates! We're getting a new ship," Inuyasha yelled.
"Aye!" the crew yelled in reply. Myoga walked to his post as Miroku walked towards Inuyasha.
"So, Captain, we're finally getting a new ship?" Miroku asked.
"Aye. It seems this ship no longer rides as fast as it used to," Inuyasha replied, 'And the wench broke it,' Inuyasha added mentally. Miroku let out a sigh.
"I'm sure gonna miss her," Miroku said.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure the wench gets us a really good ship," Inuyasha said.
"And what will you do for that to happen?" said Miroku as a perverted grin appeared on his face. Inuyasha began blushing like a madman while Miroku began squiggling his eyebrows.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha growled as he brought down his large fist on Miroku's head.
POW!
Miroku fell unto the ground unconscious. The huge bump on his head swelling and turning darker by the second.
Ew.
Kagome, Sango, and Shippo walked in staring at Miroku on the floor. Kagome stared at him.
"What is that?" Kagome asked in disgust as she kicked the body on the floor. Sango kneeled in front of it.
"I think that's Miroku," Sango guessed as she looked up at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was so far still blushing with his eyebrow twitching and with balled fists at his sides.
Kagome blinked a couple times, "What happened between you two?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha fixed his composure, though still having the blush across his face, and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Keh! Nothing, wench," Inuyasha said looking away. Kagome grit her teeth.
"I was just asking! No need for the attitude!" Kagome yelled.
"You don't need to know everything, wench!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Look who's talking, dog boy!" Kagome said. Inuyasha turned to face her.
"What'd you say, wench!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Sit!" Kagome yelled.
THUD!
Another Inuyasha hole appeared on the deck. Kagome's sit was no match for the deck's wooden floor as Inuyasha broke right through the wood down to the lower deck. Kagome blinked again with her arms crossed over her chest. Multiple crewmen began to surround the hole, but found no traces of their captain.
"Kagome, I think you-," Sango began to say.
"What have I done! We could drown if the captain made a hole on the lower deck!" Kagome yelled. Everyone's sweat dropped. Kagome showed no affection for the captain, how sweet. (-_-')
Kagome began making her way down to where Inuyasha fell. When she walked into the food storage cellar.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out. She walked deeper into the cellar. "Inuyasha?" Kagome called once more. She heard a groan and dashed towards it. The groan became louder and Kagome came to face Inuyasha's crippled body. "Inuyasha?" Kagome said as she flipped him over to his backside.
"I hate you, wench," Inuyasha said. Kagome crossed her arms and turned away.
"Well you didn't have to be so mean," Kagome said.
"You didn't have to sit me all the way down to the cellar!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You don't have to yell!" Kagome yelled ignoring how close her face was coming to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha growled. "What the-," Inuyasha turned around. "Why do I feel wet?" Inuyasha said aloud.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"What is it, wench!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Don't tell me you wet yourself," Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked at her.
"What the hell, wench! Where'd you get that idea from?" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome began trying to look as innocent as possible while playing with her fingers, "Well, since I 's' worded you so hard and… well… you're down here and I though maybe the impact-," Inuyasha cut her off.
"Stupid wench," Inuyasha mumbled. Inuyasha stood up without noticing his wet backside.
"Umm… Inuyasha?" Kagome called out. Inuyasha looked down to where he was laying and noticed the small leak.
"Dammit, wench! Now we need a ship pronto!" Inuyasha said as he began walking up the steps.
"Umm… Inuyasha-," Kagome called out again.
"What!" Inuyasha snapped. Kagome blushed and looked away. She began pointing at his… sitting helper… Inuyasha looked back at his behind and quickly blushed. "Now how am I supposed to get on deck to my cabin!" Inuyasha growled in frustration. Kagome blushed more… if possible.
Kagome stood up slowly and stood right behind him, "I'll try to keep up with you," Kagome said. Inuyasha blushed at the close proximity. (A/N: Inuyasha has been blushing a lot lately! :P) Inuyasha nodded as they made their way to the deck. Kagome was close enough for people unable to see the stain, but close enough for Inuyasha to feel her body heat.
They made their way up the deck and heading to Inuyasha's cabin. Kagome blushed harder and harder at the cat whistles and shouts being thrown at her and Inuyasha's direction. Stupid crew has been perverted since the start. They've been trying to get her and Sango into their beds, but the two girls showed the men how strong they were. Now, just imagining what could be going through their perverted minds at how close Inuyasha and Kagome were.
Sango was staring that her eyes almost bulged out and Shippo's mouth literally hung open. Thank Kami for Miroku being unconscious. With his mind and all the crewmen, that would be hell.
Inuyasha opened the door to his cabin. Kagome had no idea to go in there or just push him in there. The second one sounds good, but then all of the crew would most likely attack her with questions and she'll have to face them all by herself. Meanwhile, Inuyasha is in his cabin not having a care in this whole situation. (Imagine chibi Inuyasha lounging in his cabin) Not if Kagome can stop it.
Kagome pushed Inuyasha into the cabin and jumped in closing the door with lightning speed behind her.
"What is your problem, wench!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome slid down against the door and let out a sigh. 'I'm safe,' Kagome thought. "Oi, wench!" Inuyasha waved his hand in front of her face.
Kagome looked up at him and began scratching the back of her head, "Sorry about everything," Kagome said chuckling nervously.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said. "Why'd you come in here, anyway?" Inuyasha asked. He refused to turn around… well… because… you know…
"What did you want me to do! Stand out there and try to answer the questions that will be thrown at me while you rest here in your cabin! Not a chance, buddy," Kagome said. Inuyasha stared at her a few more seconds.
"You got a point there," Inuyasha replied. Kagome didn't know whether to feel offended or let it go.
Let it go.
Obviously.
"Well then turn around I gotta change," Inuyasha said. Kagome turned around gladly.
Kagome sat staring at the door and couldn't help but feel like a three-year-old on time out. She heard Inuyasha's belt clanging and the cloth being thrown away. She just couldn't help but blush… again.
"Alright I'm done," Inuyasha announced. Kagome let out the breath she didn't know she was holding. 'What's going on with me?' Kagome thought. She turned around. "We should be arriving at port soon," Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha walked to the door and in one fluid motion, opened the door.
Before the "couple" could take a step outside the door, they were greeted with cat whistles.
"Shut up you pathetic excuse of a crew!" Inuyasha yelled. No crewman took that seriously. They simply laughed it off and began asking "questions". Kagome hid further behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Kagome walked to where Sango and Miroku were on the floor. "So he's not up yet?" Inuyasha asked. Sango shook her head no.
"What's going on between you two?" Sango asked. A small tint of pink appeared across Kagome's face.
"Nothing!" Inuyasha and Kagome snapped at the same time. Sango flinched slightly at the tone of voice, but she shook it off.
"Just asking," Sango said. A second later, Sango felt a hand on her backside. She blushed and punched Miroku on the head.
WHACK!
"HENTAI!" Sango yelled. She stood up and began walking away leaving Shippo beside Miroku. In the background, there was still questions being thrown at Inuyasha and Kagome. Because of Inuyasha's sensitive hearing, despite his ears being covered by a bandana, he heard every word perfectly. Inuyasha was actually fuming now. "GET THE HELL BACK TO YOUR POSTS!" Inuyasha roared. No man refused and quickly shut up and went back to their posts. You couldn't ignore the small mumbles and snickers, but it was better than before.
"So what is all of this commotion about?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha growled.
"Damn crew," Inuyasha mumbled.
Kagome sighed, "Inuyasha simply got into a small predicament and I decided to help him."
"Keh!" Inuyasha said. Shippo jumped unto Kagome's shoulder.
"Are you sick, Okaa-san?" Shippo asked pointing at the small blush.
"I-I-I'm fine, Shippo," Kagome stuttered. Apparently, Kagome found her feet interesting at the moment.
"Port Ihō ahead!" yelled the man at the top of the mast. Inuyasha made his way to the steering wheel of the ship. As soon as the port was in sight, Inuyasha, with expert hands, steered the ship.
Before a ship can stop at a port, all ships had to have some sort of identification and the number one rule: NO PIRATES! To avoid trouble, Inuyasha looked for a port without many soldiers looking out for it.
Sango and Kagome looked over the side of the ship. They both looked at each other and had a silent conversation. 'We can finally escape this hellhole,' they thought. They nodded in determination. Kagome whispered into Shippo's ear to be a distraction then to follow her scent. Shippo nodded then disappeared. It seems didn't notice the missing captain and first mate.
"Now!" Kagome ordered. Both women jumped over the side of the ship and landed gracefully on the dock. They began sprinting when both women ran into solid chests… Solid chests? Both women looked up and saw the captain and his first mate. Kagome and Sango panicked. They looked at each other.
They lost.
"And, might I ask, what you two are doing down here?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome panicked. Why wasn't Sango saying anything? Oh right, cause they didn't think this out!
"We were just securing the ropes for the ship," Kagome said as smoothly as possible. Small beads of sweat were rolling down Kagome's neck. 'The captain is going to flog me… Or worse… kill me,' Kagome thought.
"Oh really," Miroku mocked. 'What happened to Shippo?' Sango thought worriedly. Inuyasha pulled a bushy tail form behind him. It was Shippo.
"I'm sorry, Okaa-san! It's all Inuyasha's fault! He wouldn't stop hitting me, but I wouldn't talk then he smelled Kagome's scent and jumped off the ship with Miroku! I'm so sorry!" Shippo began wailing. Kagome knew the kit wasn't lying, but that won't hide the fact that she might be flogged or left in the hands of the crewmen. Kagome held her arms out as Inuyasha dropped him into her arms.
They saw a soldier walk past them. After the second pass, he noticed them and was about to call out "Pirates!" With Inuyasha and his demonic speed, he knocked the man out and the other two who came to check what's going on. All the crewmen walked off the ship.
"YOU MEN GET BACK HERE IN 5 HOURS!" Inuyasha yelled loud enough for his crew to hear, but not the soldiers.
"Aye!" the crewmen replied. The crewmen simply disappeared.
"If you wanna escape that badly, the least you could've done is plan it out a lot more ahead of time," Inuyasha said. Kagome sighed. He walked back to where Miroku stood.
"Fine. What's my punishment," Kagome stated the obvious. Inuyasha and Miroku chuckled. Miroku reached out for Sango's hand.
"Sango will spend the rest of the day with me," Miroku said as he kissed her hand. Sango blushed and pulled her hand away.
"No way!" Sango protested.
"That's your punishment," Miroku said bluntly. Sango crossed her arms over her chest.
"And you," Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "Not only owe me a new ship, you have to take this damn necklace off of me," Inuyasha said.
"Sit," Kagome said.
THUD!
Kagome heard the small mumbles about her. They were not pretty words for a pretty man.
"Make up some other punishment cause I refuse to do that," Kagome said. Inuyasha stood up.
"There isn't anything else I want from you!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome's face became red with anger.
"You wanna go now?" Miroku asked Sango quietly. Sango nodded. They began walking away sneakily.
"Hey wait for me!" Shippo squealed as he caught up with Miroku and Sango. Shippo obviously didn't want to be in the middle of Kagome and Inuyasha's argument… literally.
"Fine then, wench. You wanna play that way. You have to get me a big chunk of gold," Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk. In truth, he didn't want any gold; he just wanted to get Kagome mad. Really mad.
"What!" Kagome yelled. Kagome quieted her voice just in case she did it too lout for the soldiers to hear her.
"If you're a pirate, you can definitely steal like a pirate," Inuyasha said. Kagome held her fist balled into fists by her side. She was trying to contain the urge to punch that smirk off his face.
"Fine," Kagome said between gritted teeth.
"C'mon wench. We still have lots of time to spare before you get me my new ship," Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha you're so reckless. Anyone can be caught! It's obvious we're pirates," Kagome harshly whispered.
"You forget one thing, wench. I chose this place because there are hundreds of illegal pirates at this port. The soldiers will be too busy with them then deal with us," Inuyasha replied.
Kagome heard about this port. It's called Port Ihō. It is said to have many great goods for a good price. Hundreds of pirates come to get their hands on those goods. However, that's exactly why there are always soldiers on patrol. Still, this was what Kagome called, reckless and stupid.
"I always did my background check on ports for it to be safe for my crew," Kagome said. Inuyasha began walking leaving Kagome to try to catch up with his pace.
"Keh! I can tell that you're crew depended too much on you. They're men. You're a woman. Besides, a crew must learn to rely on only themselves. As they say, 'Every man for themselves'," Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up at him. Hardly any captain thought that these days anymore. But something told Kagome, that he didn't believe that and only said so to seem tough. Her eyes softened at the captain. His tough façade is nothing but a glass wall. Kagome can see right through it. Though, he's still a jerk and thinks that just because she's a woman, she isn't good enough. Well guess what buddy, if a woman can do a man's job, that's a woman. A man that can't seem to understand that, ain't man enough!
"I admit I am a woman, but to me you're not a man," Kagome mumbled. Inuyasha's sensitive ears caught her words.
"Oh really? Wench, I've seen all kinds of men in this world and I'm the only man you'll ever meet," Inuyasha said with a triumphant smirk. Kagome let out a cry of frustration as her face turned red in anger.
The two walked in complete silence and awkwardness. As they walked, Kagome couldn't help but feel tingly. She normally felt this way when a jewel shard was nearby. Kagome's eyes widened in realization. 'Jewel shards!' Kagome thought. Now the only thing she had to do was get away from Inuyasha. Her mind began working a thousand miles per hour.
"Hey sweetheart. How about you and me?" said a prostitute. She threw herself on Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to desperately get the woman off him without hurting her.
"Get off!" Inuyasha yelled. The woman, though, had a very strong grip. She smelled as a demon. Kagome took her chance and ran towards the pull of the jewel shard. With each step, her mikonoken slapped against her thigh. "K-Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome was already gone. With the information on the woman being a demon, he used his demonic strength and as gently as possible pushed her away. The second the woman was off him, Inuyasha ran. Kagome must be a pretty fast runner considering all of the distance she put in only a few seconds. No way was she gonna escape him. She was his captive.
With Kagome…
Kagome heard him cry her name. Her name. Not "wench". This made a small smile make its way to her face.
Kagome ran as fast as her legs can take her. She felt Inuyasha's demonic aura follow.
Not good.
Kagome ran faster. The jewel shard was closer. She felt it.
Kagome ran right between an alley and ended up at a large house. The area seemed abandoned. Kagome a heard a scream from within it. It sounded as a female. Kagome ran into the house and pulled out her mikonoken. She transformed into its bow version and quickly notched an arrow. Kagome took large yet quiet steps. Kagome heard the woman scream once more. Kagome walked deeper into the house and walked into the living room.
A demon was cornering a woman. More specifically, it was a frog demon. Kagome didn't hesitate as she let go of the arrow. The miko powers surrounded the arrow hitting the demon in the center of his back making him reduce to ash. The woman looked at her in gratitude. Then she noticed her attire.
"You're a miko. A woman born with only pureness, yet you are a pirate," the woman said. Kagome walked to the ash and picked up the tainted jewel shard. The jewel shard turned into a bright pink. Kagome sighed and gave the woman a sad smile.
"Yes, I am a miko. Yes, I am a pirate. But I refuse to live like the other women of society," Kagome said. The woman looked behind Kagome and her eyes widened a fraction. Kagome followed her gaze and saw him.
Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I can explain," Kagome said. She saw something in his eyes.
Hurt.
Betrayal.
Sadness.
"Let's go," Inuyasha said. His face void of any emotion. Kagome looked back at the woman. The woman was still in the same position. She gave Kagome a small nod of acknowledgement. Kagome smiled another sad one and walked after Inuyasha.
How could he have been so stupid! That's why the jewel shards in Kagome's possession were so pure. Inuyasha felt like pulling his hair out. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID!' Inuyasha thought.
Kagome's small footsteps were so quiet that if Inuyasha wasn't a half demon with sensitive hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear her.
"I didn't expect you to find out this way," Kagome said quietly. Inuyasha walked on. Kagome was sorry, but at the same time, she was angry. "Alright so what! I'm a miko!" Kagome said. Inuyasha turned to her.
"I don't care that you're a miko," Inuyasha said.
"Then what's the big deal!" Kagome was almost yelling now. What was the big deal? Is Inuyasha really that hurt just because Kagome didn't tell him something such as this. He decided to change the subject.
"Gold," Inuyasha said abruptly.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"You owe me my gold," Inuyasha said.
"Fine," Kagome huffed. "Though, I've only stolen food not gold!" Kagome said. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to survive.
"It's easy. Make up a plan, grab the gold, and run," Inuyasha said. At least Inuyasha wasn't that creepy stoic person anymore. Kagome looked around. Normally the gold shops are further into the town for safety. Kagome began walking with Inuyasha hot on her heels.
Minutes passed and they were in front of the gold shop. Kagome walked up the storefront.
"Mr. Merchant?" Kagome called out. No one answered. "Mr. Merchant?" Kagome called out and a small man walked out.
"May I help you?" asked the merchant.
"What's the best gold you got?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha smirk appeared with an amused glint in his eyes.
The old man ducked and pulled out s chunk of gold the size of Kagome's palm.
"How much?" Kagome asked.
"8 gold pieces," said the merchant.
"8 gold pieces! If I mash up those 8 gold pieces I can make this chunk," Kagome shouted. "6 gold pieces," Kagome offered.
"7 gold pieces and 2 silver," said the merchant. (A/N: Just remember I have no idea how to count gold pieces… well pieces in general.)
"Can I get something smaller?" Kagome asked innocently. The merchant ducked once more leaving the giant gold alone.
Stupid much?
Kagome grabbed the chunk of gold and ran. Inuyasha began running after her. They heard the yells of the merchant as Kagome ran faster.
"I didn't think you had it in you," Inuyasha said. Kagome turned avoiding anything in her way, same for Inuyasha.
"I hate myself," Kagome said between pants.
They ran until they arrived at the docks. Kagome looked up at the sun. They arrived somewhere around noon. The sun was a little over the water. It was most likely a quarter to five. Just on time. And not dead.
Kagome hunched over and exhaled over and over again while Inuyasha didn't even break a sweat.
Jerk.
Kagome stood up and tossed the gold to Inuyasha.
"Here it's yours," Kagome said. Inuyasha caught it.
"Oh, I don't need it," Inuyasha said. Kagome looked at him.
"What!" Kagome growled. Inuyasha smirked. Kagome pounced on him.
"What the hell, wench!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome straddled him and held unto his arms.
"S-," Kagome began. Inuyasha held Kagome.
"Go on sit me. I dare you," Inuyasha said. Amusement glinting in his eyes. Kagome glared so hard at Inuyasha it made her eyes slightly water. If only looks could kill. Kagome resisted the urge to spit on his face and curse in his face.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and the newly found Kilala walked into the scene.
"You see my dear Sango. I told you they liked each other. Now it seems someone owes me an apology," Miroku said giving her his right cheek.
"You're right," Sango said as she slapped Miroku's cheek and walked away. Shippo couldn't contain the laughter and fell off Sango's shoulder. He rolled on the ground holding his stomach. Miroku sighed happily.
"Ahh… I feel the love," Miroku said dramatically as he followed Sango to the "couple" on the floor. "Well what do we have here?" Miroku said with a perverted grin. Inuyasha and Kagome looked up form the ground. Kagome blushed and pulled away from Inuyasha with a speed not even she knew she had. Sango looked at the chunk of gold in Inuyasha's hand.
"Where did you get that?" Sango asked. Everyone followed Sango's gaze and saw the gold.
"Whoa. I didn't know you were that rich, Captain," Miroku said.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said. Kagome turned red in anger and took a quick breath.
"Okaa-san?" Shippo asked. Kilala stared at the gold and meowed.
"Here, Miroku. I don't need it," Inuyasha tossed the gold at Miroku.
"Inuyasha! Don't you even care about the guilt I'm gonna be dealing with for the rest of my life!" Kagome whined. Inuyasha smirked.
"Oh well," Inuyasha replied.
"SIT!" Kagome yelled.
THUD!
Inuyasha hit face first against the wooden deck. Kagome stood up.
"Sit," Kagome said.
THUD!
"Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!" Kagome yelled.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
Kagome grabbed the gold from Miroku's hand.
"I am returning this," Kagome said. She began walking away.
"Wait for me Okaa-san!" Shippo yelled. Shippo ran to Kagome and unto her shoulder.
"I'm coming, Kagome," Sango yelled. Kagome waited a few seconds for Sango to catch up. When she did, Kilala followed her owner. The four companions left leaving both men. One on the ground and the other utterly confused.
"Inuyasha, as your first mate, you are a great leader. As a friend, you have no idea how to behave with a girl," Miroku said.
"The wench has no idea how to behave with a man," Inuyasha retorted.
"Yes, Captain," Miroku said sadly.
With Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala…
Kagome and Sango walked chatting about their day. Or, Sango was.
"Here we are," Kagome said. The merchant was nowhere to be seen. Kagome put the gold right where she took it.
"Kagome we should-," Shippo started.
"Run," Sango finished. All of them began running obviously not wanting to be caught. Kilala transformed. Kagome and Sango jumped unto her back while Shippo held unto Kagome's shoulder.
They arrived back at the deck to find all of the crewmen back.
"That was quick," Miroku said walking towards them. Kilala transformed into her smaller form and jumped on Sango's shoulder.
"It help have Kilala around," Sango said petting Kilala's head.
"Well then. I guess we're all here," Miroku said. Inuyasha walked up to Kagome.
"It's your time to shine. Now get me that ship over there," Inuyasha said pointing at a ship. It's not heavily guarded, but it's a nice looking ship. It was a good size and seemed capable of going fast. It was guarded by a fat soldier who had a giant mole on his cheek. Kagome resisted the urge to look at it.
"Do I have to?" Kagome whined.
"You broke my ship, lost the duel, and escaped the ship and got punished for it. Yes, you have to," Inuyasha replied. Kagome glared at Inuyasha. Kagome sighed.
Kagome made her way over to the soldier. She had to come up with a plan fast. Trick him? Maybe. Kill him? No! Knock him out? It's the only safe way. Kagome grabbed the dagger from the side of her thigh and made her way to him.
3…
The man didn't notice her yet.
2…
Still oblivious.
1…
Kagome pounced. The man was about to shout when Kagome used the hilt of the dagger and knocked him out. The man's eyes were fighting to maintain conscious. Kagome hit him once more. Finally, he lacked out. Kagome looked around and saw that the coast was clear. She motioned to everyone.
All of the crewmen resumed to their posts while Kagome and the remaining of her crew settled. Inuyasha walked right past them and Kagome couldn't help but ask a question.
"Captain?" Kagome asked as they both stared out to the ocean. By this time, the ship was moving. They could see the small figures of the soldiers waving and getting smaller by the minute. The ship was sure fast.
"What is it?" Inuyasha replied.
"Didn't you have anything special that was on your original ship?" Kagome asked. For a second, Kagome thought the life drained from Inuyasha's eyes. But of course it could've just been her imagination.
"My crew brought what they owned and I simply don't have any treasures I carry beside my tetsusaiga," Inuyasha replied. Kagome's eyes softened.
"You have the Necklace of Subjugation," Kagome said. Inuyasha's eyes brightened.
"Keh! That doesn't count. I don't even want it," Inuyasha said. Kagome giggled. "What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sorry. Just thinking," Kagome replied between giggles.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said.
A brand new ship, a brand new adventure. Kagome had one jewel shard; they had thousands or possibly millions on more to go. Yay. (Note the sarcasm please)

AnimeExpert1981: Just for you guys and because of my absence, I made this chapter twice as long… 13 pages. And I have no Internet so this won't probably go up until it returns.
Sayuri: You need another computer, pronto.
AnimeExpert1981: Sadly, yes I do.
Kagome: I really like this chapter…
Inuyasha: Keh!
AnimeExpert1981: I'm sorry… I'm not very funny I have no idea how to be funny. Instead I just seem stupid. So I am very sorry if none of you guys understand anything.
