InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Pirate's Life ❯ Breakfast and Battle of Wills ( Chapter 13 )

Chapter 13: Breakfast and Battle of Wills

 

Dawn finally came to the weary pirates. Each and everyone got ready and headed down to a special room at the back of the lodge where they could converse their arrangements in tranquility with out too much disturbance. Kagome, Sango, their brothers, Rin, Shippo, Inu Yasha and Miroku were the first ones down. They sat together in a long table with a red cloth on the table.

 

Kagome would drift in between the world of dreams and reality. In her groggy state, she slumped in her seat and rested her had on her hand that was propped up on the chair's arm. Her eyes would begin to droop but quickly snap open. Her hair was still matted and like everyone in the table, she was in her pajamas that were wrinkled and ruffled.

 

Inu Yasha bit his finger to reframe from laughing at the girl in front of him. His red shirt was unbuttoned all the way and showed of his well-defined abs. A faint scar poked from beneath the fabric just above his heart. His hair was in a low loose braid and was tied by a small thin leather cord.

 

Miroku sipped his water and stared at Sango who was talking away with Kohaku and Sota. He'd smile when she'd laugh and remembered the wonderful night he had with her. His dark purple shirt was open as well and he scratched his chest with his gloved hand. He ran a hand through his brushed hair and yawned lightly.

 

Rin was talking to Shippo about her experience at the ball. She had already told everyone that she was able to befriend the cold Commodore and her progress was quicker than anyone could imagine. Perhaps she could break the ice and start asking questions about Naraku later that day with Sessho-Maru.

 

Shippo had seemed to take a liking to her as she animatedly chatted away. She left out her attack and any mushy stuff. She most talked about the grand ballroom and the kind of people that was there.

 

Shippo had converted into his human form and wore only his black pants. His now much larger hands took hold of his glass and he quickly took a sip from the cool water. He laughed when Rin began to tell the story of how she accidentally tripped while doing the waltz.

 

“That's not funny!” She pouted. “Many of the women thought I as just a commoner. Which technically I am… but you know…”

 

“I'm sorry, but that's too funny!” He said in between his laugh.

 

“Fine then! Sango!” Rin called to the other girl. Sango turned around and nodded her acknowledgement to the younger girl, “Would you beat Shippo up for me?”

 

“Why?” Kohaku asked, “Can't you do it for yourself?”

 

Rin blushed, “Its not proper lady conduct to raise a hand to defend thy self when there are others who can do it for thee. A brawl is a man's job, or in this case… a strong woman such as Sango.” Sango shook her head with a sigh.

 

“Morning everyone. Sango, I hope you're not over straining yourself.” Chastised Tsubaki as she took a seat next to Miroku. But she had heard from somewhere Sango hurt herself last night. Renkotsu and Koga were right behind her and silently took a seat.

 

Tsubaki had her hair up in a high ponytail and was already in her white nurse dress. The dress made her like a nun in a way. She wasn't wearing her headpiece that morning because she felt too much like a follower of the Holy Spirit and she was no pacifist.

 

“How are you boys feeling this morning?” Renkotsu asked as he scratched his baldhead. “I hope everyone slept alright.” He poured himself some orange juice from a pitcher beside Kohaku, “Ah… what a pleasure to have orange juice. You all should have at least a cup. Prevents scurvy and illness.” Tsubaki nodded, until her gaze landed on Kagome.

 

“Kagome? Are you ok?” Tsubaki asked concerned as she saw her captain's arm slip off the seat's arm. “Are you going to be alright?”

 

Kagome grunted as she rested her head on the tabletop, “I went to sleep on the couch. I didn't have a peace sleep.” She yawned and groaned, “Ugh… my back hurts…”

 

“You didn't sleep on the bed? Kagome those things are so soft!” said Koga as he dragged a chair to her side. He grabbed a hold of her hand, “If only were roomed together. I would have let you have my place in bed so you could have slept in pure bliss.”

 

Inu Yasha growled softly so Koga would be the only one to hear. Koga glared at Inu Yasha, “What? My woman didn't sleep to well! You're such a fucking brute Inu Yasha. Are you not worried about Kagome's well being?”

 

“What?” barked Inu Yasha, “Since when was she your woman?” his mind screamed at him for over reacting, but he didn't know why he felt threatened when Koga held her hands. It was as if the wolf was going to take what was his. `But she is not my woman…'

 

“Since yesterday.” Koga said in a matter of fact voice. “Though you two had shared a bed on the way here, there was no claim on her I could detect. Therefore I find her suitable to be mine, perhaps even my mate.”

 

“Whaaaaa?” Kagome gawked as she looked at Koga with a horror stricken face, “But I never said anything to this! I am not a prize! You can't be serious Mr. Ookami! Taking me as a mate? Why I oughta…”

 

“Of course you are Kagome, my love! My heart burns for you. Down to these here bones of mine. Why don't you room with me for the rest of the time you're with us? And I prefer you call me Koga. We are to be mated soon!”

 

“Oh Koga…” said Inu Yasha in a sickening sweet voice that grew harsher with each word uttered from his lips as he picked up his fork, “Have you ever wonder what it's like to have a fork jammed way up your ass? IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF HER, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!” his mind was sent to a frenzy at Koga's proposal. Who did he think he was?

 

Everyone else who wasn't present in the beginning that had walked in looked at them quizzically. Bankotsu sighed as he walked over to them. `Some things never change.'

 

“Fightin again, I see. It's to early in the mornin' for that you guys.” He took the empty seat by Shippo and plopped down with a sigh, “Why'd ya call for a damn assembly in this ungodly hour?” he tugged his white baggy slacks and adjusted his black linen no sleeved top. “I could have slept for another hour.”

 

Someone shrieked and everyone looked at the entrance of the room. Jakotsu waltzed in wearing a dark red rouge dancer's dress with three-inch high heels that went up just a bit past his knees. His hair was up in a bun held together by his favorite blue hairpin. He pressed his ruby painted lips together and his black colored eyes outlined in thin black eyeliner glared at Inu Yasha.

 

“Inu Yasha darling! Why didn't I room with you last night!? And what are you doing sleeping in a room in front of that…that… HUSSY!? You know that I'm your only lover!” he grated out, “And you even put me into the same room as that horrific toad! How could you Inu Yasha?”

 

“That is not true! I am his only lover!” said Jaken in his frog like voice. Both Jaken and Jakotsu looked at each other in revulsion, “You bitch! You copied me!”

 

Jaken and Jakotsu wore the same outfit even though Jaken looked silly since he was as short as the kitsune formed Shippo. He wore a blonde wig since he was also bald and hand only warts where his hair should have been. His blue painted lips looked ghastly and the green eye shadow he wore blended into his skin, making the skin look greasy.

 

“You slimly little gnome! You copied me! I was up before you!” Jakotsu all but shouted as he pointed a crimson painted nail accusingly at the toad. “I didn't know they even made doll sizes!”

 

“I beg to differ, you hussy.” He growled as he crossed his stubby little arms. He taped one of his 3 fingers on his right hand on his arm. Everyone grimaced at the black and green combination

 

“Looks who's talking! I can't believe I'm rooming with you! Brother slash lover-boy Bankotsu made me share a bed with you! I've never been so insulted in my life!”

Jakotsu wailed in dismay as crocodile tears began to fall from his eyes. “How could you guys do this to poor little me?”

 

“Because you were gonna butt rape me that's why!” hollered Bankotsu, “I'm not you're lover boy either! I can handle brother but not Lover-boy!” Bankotsu shuddered.

 

Suikotsu walked in and looked at everyone in bewilderment, “'Ello.” He said as he quietly took a seat by Renkotsu, “Um… what exactly did I miss Ren?”

 

“Nothing important. Just Jak's daily fits of rage since Inu Yasha is straight.” He said casually as he nibbled on a piece of toast. “Same shit as always.”

 

“Damn right I'm straight! How many times must I tell you Jak?” raged Inu Yasha.

 

“B-but Inu Yasha my love! I know deep down you love me!”

 

“No he loves me!” raved the furious toad.

 

“Can it toad! He loves me!” snarled Jakotsu.

 

“No me!”

 

“Me!”

 

The two glared at each other. Jakotsu hissed and held up his fists. Jaken did the same and began to advance towards him. The to jumped at each other and a puff cloud form. An occasional shouted would erupt from the cloud and the men and women began to form a circle around the two.

 

“You're not straight.” Snickered Koga, “Or else why would Jakotsu be in love with you?”

 

“Shut up! Remember when he tried to grope you last year? Got you good and ended up locking you with him in the kitchen. You were nearly raped if it wasn't for Suikotsu and Nanahara.” Inu Yasha said nonchalantly though he was stalk raving mad inside.

 

“Please, spare me!” whimpered Koga as he relived the memory. He went pale and slumped down. “Such horrid times…”

 

The girls were laughing very hard and had tears rolling down the cheeks by the gallons. They held onto their sides and toppled over. Tsubaki rested her head on Renkotsu's shoulder and shook with the force of her laughter. Rin slouched over and rested her head on the table. Kagome and Sango held onto each other as their laughter began to subside.

 

“Oh…oh…man. That was down right FUNNY!” Rin giggled. “I didn't think you all had it this bad!”

 

“Y-Yeah, all we have to worry about is Yura. But she has a thing for Ki-Kikyo.” Kagome said as she wiped away her tears, “Ooh, that was a good laugh. I'm sorry to hear about that Koga, but I'm sorry, but it was too funny. I couldn't resist.” `Yeah right!'

 

“I'm glad to see my agony brings you pleasure.” He scoffed from his place.

 

“Hey, where is Kikyo, anyways? I haven't that woman in ages.” Tsubaki said as she took a sip from her glass. “Nor Kagura or Kanna.”

 

As if on cue, Kikyo waltzed right in and ignored the commotion beside. She wore a tight pair of royal blue pants and wore black corset with blood red stitches. Her hair was loose and had on her favorite pair of boots. She spotted Inu Yasha and gave him a sexy smile. She sensually waked over to him and sat on his lap. She reeked of booze.

 

Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes at her, recognizing her from the island. She was the woman that threw herself on him. “How may I be of service to you?”

 

“Mmm,” she moaned as she wrapped her arms around his face, “If you come up to my room, then I will indulge you to your manly services.” The conversation she had last night coming back. `Soon…'

 

“Kikyo, get the hell off him. You're squishing him with that fat body of yours! Go fuck Yura or something. I'm pretty sure I saw her somewhere here.” scowled Kagome. Her anger flared as she watched Kikyo straddle Inu Yasha, pushing her heat to his core. Inu Yasha only growled, but Kikyo thought it was one of pleasure.

 

“Well, well, well. If it ain't the sea bitch. Seen yourself in the mirror lately? I'm surprise Inu Yasha hasn't ran away. Ooh, Inu Yasha, you're so brave!” Sneered Kikyo, caressing his chest and loving the way his chest rippled under her fingertips.

 

“Off my man!” screamed Jakotsu as he tackled her off Inu Yasha's lap. He `hmph'ed and sat on Inu Yasha's lap, “No hussy flirts with my man. Right Inu Yasha?” his hair was a mess and his dress in shambles. A black eye was beginning to appear and if the situation wasn't so dire, anyone would have laughed.

 

Inu Yasha got an idea and snickered, “Jakotsu… do me a favor and get rid of her, for me will ya?” he grabbed a loch of the other man's hair and twirled it around his fingers, bringing it to his nose and smiling seductively. Inside he cringed in shame.

 

“Yes Capitan!” saluted Jakotsu as he jumped off, a bright blush on his pale face. Once again he tackled her and dragged her away by the hair.

 

“OW! Let me go!” cried Kikyo as she tried to free her hair from Jakotsu's death grip. “Fucker!”

 

“Nuh-uh Miss Hussy! Inu Yasha asked me to get rid of you and rid of you I shall. Maybe then will Inu Yasha know that I love him so!” he scolded as if lecturing a child.

 

-----------------

 

“Well, that worked better then I thought…” Inu Yasha thought aloud. Kagome and Sango giggled and some of the guys chuckled, “What? Just the other day on the ship, she said if she had to, she'd rape me. I'm not into that and that girl is just… ew, I don't even want to think about it.” Inu Yasha shuddered.

 

“Don't worry about it Inu Yasha. If she sees a cute something with a dick, she makes it her mission to fuck it. I bet she'd do a cow if she was drunk.” Kagome snorted. “That woman truly is a bitch.”

 

“I think she did a horse before.” Sango said as she knitted her brows together in deep thought. “She was really horny when she was drunk that time.”

 

“Ok… now she's definitely a walking disease.” Groaned Suikotsu, as he turned pale. “Who would even do that?”

 

The girls looked at one another and nodded. At the same time the responded, “Kikyo.” Every man that heard looked at the place Kikyo once was in a dumbfounded expression. A few even screamed about being contaminated.

 

“And she hasn't got any disease?” questioned Renkotsu as he tried hard not to puke. “I don't think it's possible to live after that!”

 

“What can I say? The girl has a vagina of steel! She'd do old men if they have money and is as horny as they can come. She even does herself, which will explain the fishy odor around her.” Kagome snickered, it only being a joke, but Inu Yasha shuddered, knowing it was true with his keen sense of smell. “I don't know why she's still part of my crew.” Kagome sighed as she shook her head in disgust.

 

“I don't even know what the hell is going on!” pouted Sota, “What's a… vi-gin-nah'?”

 

“Yeah!” said the other two boys. The older people laughed and said when they were a few years older; they'd explain the whole concept. Kagome and the others blushed, forgetting about the young boys at their table. How embarrassing!

 

 

“Ah, to be young and innocent.” sighed Koga as he rubbed his temples, “Well `oh great captain,' when do we eat?” his stomach growled ferociously and he groaned, “God I'm hungry!”

 

“I smell it coming. And Keade and Louis are on their way.” He shifted his ears from side to side, picking up all the sounds around the room and outside. “Has you're sense of smelling been fucked with?”

 

“No… but I think I might have caught a cold. Just a small one.” Koga said, hating the fact he could barely breathe. Renkotsu handed him a small pill and Koga smiled in thanks. “Yum… vitamins of yummy yuckiness.”

 

“Not my fault you don't take care of yourself.” Renkotsu shrugged.

 

The doors to the room opened and maids poured in with trays upon trays of food. Fruits, vegetables, meat, bread, coffee, tea, juices, porridge and other things were set down on the tables. With a bow from each made, they left as quickly as they came. Inu Yasha yawned once more before digging in.

 

“Bottoms up!”

 

“Strawberries!” cried Miroku joyously and he dumped the biggest and brightest ones he could find from the tray. “I so love strawberries!” he happy nibbled away, off in his own little world.

 

----------------

 

Once everyone ate and fully awake, Inu Yasha and Kagome stood up on a small stage. Inu Yasha cleared his throat while Kagome got everyone's attention.

 

“Listen up!” Inu boomed, “We have less then a week to repair our ship and restock. When we set sail, we are not a bunch of sea bandits ready to pillage and plunder, we are going out to sea to seek revenge and find the killer of our fallen comrades!”

 

“Inu Yasha and I have decided to join our crew. Ladies, these men are no longer companions on sea, they are our brothers! Be we are still Sirens! Don't forget our dead sisters. Anyone who wishes to stay may leave now!” Kagome said, eyeing everyone in the room, daring them to move.

 

When no one did, she smiled and sighed. “Then it's settled. Until Kagome and her ladies avenge their mates, just like we will, we are not two different crews, but one. We need each other to complete this mission. Who's with me?” Inu Yasha said, raising his fist in the air.

 

Everyone cheered, men and women alike. If only they knew they had a traitor among them.

 

---------

 

Kagura sat on the windowsill, hidden by one of the curtains and stared into Kanna's mirror, hearing and seeing everything. She no longer wore pants, but an elegant white kimono with red and blue stripes at the bottom and yellow flower with purple butterflies. Kanna sat beside her in a plain white kimono and stared out to the ocean.

 

“We should head out now. Come Kanna, let us leave.” Kagura said as she took the feather from her hair and threw it in the air, waiting for it to grow before jumping on “Naraku is waiting for us.”

 

-------------

 

Evil Evarina stood above the mizzenmast, over looking the sea and enjoying the fresh air. Her long silver tresses danced in the wind, sparkling like glitter in the warm morning sun.

 

“It's so good to be free.” She said to her other self as she placed a hand above the jewel, “The view is lovely dear.” Like the night before, the jewel radiated anger and hate, scorching the flesh around it.

 

`Stop this madness!' the little girl inside cried. `Inu Yasha mustn't die! He raised me…'

 

“Not a chance, ducky. I am in control now!” she concentrated all her power on the spirit in the jewel. Everyday her powers grew again, but not enough to rid the child, which unnerved her to no end. The child shouldn't have been such a problem in the first place!

 

The spirit shrieked in pain, but did not lose her will. The eldest one sighed in frustration and snarled in anger. “Why won't you just go away!”

 

`Because…' the voice said in a small pained whispered, `I'd do anything for daddy. I won't let you hurt him… everyday your powers grow, and so do mind. Ever since you took control, I knew what I was. We are no ordinary hanyou. I am part…'

 

“Sorceress…” Evarina said through gritted teeth, “I'm impress with your ancestry on that side. Very powerful clan, too bad they were somehow wiped out when Naraku came along.” She smirked, remembering that day perfectly. “Back then I inhabited an Arabic girl. Her body was weak and couldn't last through the Great Battle, damn weakling.”

 

`What do you mean…?'

 

“I'm not exactly human Evarina. I've been around since this pathetic planet came to existence. Don't ask me how, even I my self have forgotten.” A distant and pained looked clouded her honey eyes, “It's been so long…”

 

`But why me? Why are you a part of me? What am I too you?'

 

The evil Evarina laughed cruelly, “I am but a spirit that inhabits the body of those who are of a strong conscience of God and Satan. I am unable to have my own, so I am reborn with each generation. I am the key to opening the gates of heaven or hell. I am the balance of the world. You my dear, are such a person, and I've been waiting for someone like you to unleash my full potential.”

 

`But what will happen to you and why do you side with Naraku? I am a part of you? And that means you are me…'

 

“ I do not know, but I side with whom I want to. I am in love with Naraku, and there for I shall serve him.”
