Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha

 

Sango opened her eyes slowly as she took in the new room she was in. She sat up in the bed she was laying on and sighed. `Where am I now?' She glanced over to see Kago laying on the same bed sound asleep. `That's right; those three guys saved us from the mob of people.' Sango looked around the room. There were animal skins everywhere. She took in a fearful breath and realized that they were in a cave. `Who are these people?'

 

The door swung open and the man with short hair walked in. “Awe! One of the two of you is awake! That's good!” He sat next to Sango and gave her a boyish grin. “My name is Kouga, I am the Captain of this here crew. You are?”

 

Sango bit her lower lip and studied his extended hand. “Sango.” She replied as she gave him her right hand. He gently kissed the back of her and smiled up at her. “Thank you for saving us.” She whispered as she blushed a deep share of red.

 

“You're welcome. It's not everyday that you get to save a couple of beautiful damsels in distress.” Kouga said with a wink.

 

“A couple?” Sango asked as she looked towards Kago, who was still dressed as a boy. “You must be mistaken.”

 

Kouga looked down at Kago. “No, I'm not. She smells like a girl and you two have a similar smell… I presume sisters.”

 

Sango didn't say anything. Kago let out a small moan as she started to stir. “Kago!” Sango exclaimed as Kago finally sat up, rubbing the top of her head.

 

“Sango… what?” Kago looked at Kouga. “Who the hell are you and what do you want?”

 

Kouga smirked at Kago. “My, are we spunky?” He teased. “Your name is Kago? As in the infamous Captain Kago?”

 

Kago smirked. “Yes. I see that you had rescued Sango-chan and myself from the angry mob, and I thank you for it.”

 

Kouga smirked at Kago. “I never knew you were a female.”

 

Kago frowned. “You pathetic Youki. Can't you tell I just have been around?” Kago lied.

 

Kouga smirk broadened. “No, there's only one very feminine scent on you. Your own. I don't even smell a male on you. Perhaps a virgin?”

 

Kago glared at him. “As I had said, thank you for saving us and we must part now. If you ever need any assistance from my pirates or me, just holler.” Kago jumped off of the bed and Kouga grabbed her wrist, yanking her towards him.

 

“You will not escape that easily!” Kouga studied her face for a minute before Kago kicked him in his kneecap. “Feisty! I like it! Perfect for my wife!” Kouga yipped.

 

Kago stared at him in horror. “Nani?!”

 

Kouga moved closer to her and Sango jumped off of the bed, but didn't stray to far from the couple. “I am at the age where, as the Captain and leader of my clan, I must choose a bride.” Kouga's eyes were full of determination. “When I saw you running from that mob, and your scent touched my nose, I knew that you were the only one for me! Marry Me!”

 

Kago glared at him. “As if!” She yanked her wrist from his grasp. “I would never marry a Youki!”

 

Kouga jumped off of the bed and wrapped his arms around her petit form. “Would it help if I said, Please?”

 

Kago stomped her right foot on his left foot. “Hell no!”

 

Sango rushed to Kago's side. “Kago, we need to leave!”

 

Kago nodded. “I am the one to say who I marry. Not my father, not you… not anyone else.” She grabbed Sango by her waist. “Ado.” She ran out of the captain's quarters holding Sango by her waist as fast as her feet could take her.

 

“Kirara!” Sango yelled for her cat. Her cat came rushing to her and Kago let out a groan when they were out on the deck. Sango looked up at Kago. “What's wrong?”

 

“We're back out to sea again!” Kago fumed.

The Silver Hanyou studied the map of the layout of the village. Miroku sat next to him, daydreaming of beautiful women.

 

“We attack at sundown.” The Silver Hanyou suddenly said. “We enter here, and send half of the crew over in this direction, and the other half into the castle where Rin would be.”

 

Miroku glanced sideways at The Silver Hanyou. “Okay, I'll let the Pirates know.” He slowly got up and yawned. “Anything else?”

 

The Silver Hanyou stood up and walked to the window. “Yeah, I will not be joining in this attack.”

 

Miroku smirked. “Full moon again, eh?”

 

The Silver Hanyou nodded quietly. “They do not need to know though.”

 

“Right.” Miroku then left the Silver Hanyou alone.

 

“Once I get my hands on the Shikon Jewel, this will no longer be an issue.” The Silver Hanyou turned from the window. `I will become a full fledged Youki.'

 

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

 

Kouga smirked as he saw the two women looking out at the ocean in horror. “That's right, already out to sea. We're going to find a new place to steal treasure and food from.” Kouga walked up beside the two women. “I have a beautiful dress that I believe you would look lovely in, Captain Kago.”

 

Kago shot him a glare. “It's all white, correct?”

 

Kouga laughed. “No, it's a very light green. It'll look better then those men's clothing and you'll feel better as well.” He looked towards the captain's quarters where a couple of his pirates were auguring.

 

Kago looked around the ship. “Oh, so you feel that I should look more feminine?” Kago asked. “So I would be less of a threat?” She kept a firm grasp on Sango's hand. She started to slowly inch her way backwards, pulling Sango with her towards the ship's edge.

 

Kouga frowned. “No, you're not a threat now.” He turned to her and smiled. “However, beauty shouldn't be hidden so.”

 

Kago backed up to the edge of the ship, and smiled at Kouga. “Thank you, you're too kind. However, now is not the time for me to look pretty.”

 

Kouga blinked at her. Kago gave him a small wave and yanked Sango and Kirara over the edge of the ship with her. Kouga's eyes widened as he watched her leap from his ship. “Are you crazy?” He shrieked. He rushed to the edge and watched as the two girls resurfaced. “Lower a boat!” Kouga yelled. The pirates quickly unhooked a life boat and Kouga jumped in it. “Lower it now!” He roared. They quickly lowered him into the water and he began to paddle towards the women.

 

“Kago, now what?” Sango yelled as she bobbed in the ocean water..

 

Kago frowned. “I don't know.” She never felt so clueless in her life. “Swim!”

 

Sango suddenly grabbed her younger sister's shoulder. “Wait.” She looked over at Kirara. “Please, help us.”

 

Kago watched in amazement as Kirara suddenly grew into a huge fire cat youki. “Unreal!” She exclaimed as they both climbed onto Kirara. Kirara then took flight into the sky.

 

Kouga growled and slammed his fist through the boat. “I'll make you my wife! You will be mine, Kago!” He yelled as his boat began to sink. “You idiots!” He yelled to the pirates. “Get me out of here!”

The sun began to set and The Silver Hanyou gazed out his window. He stared off towards the setting sun and tightened his hands into fists. `I better finish this now.' He yanked open the door to his cabin and glared at the pirates lined up. “When the sun is completely down, I want you all to attack the way we had discussed earlier. If you have any questions, ask Miroku. You will divide into two groups. One group, steal as much as you can. The other group, steal the daughter of the retched Mayor of this village. Her name is Rin. Got me?”

 

The pirates all looked at each other and then nodded to the new captain. The Silver Hanyou glanced towards the receding sun and retreated to the captain's quarters. He locked the door and tossed off his hat. He then walked over to the window to close it when he saw something abnormal. He leaned out the window and saw it was a flying animal with two people on it's back. He quickly rushed back towards his nightstand and yanked his telescope off of it. He ran back to the window and held it to his eyes. It was a fire cat youki, and two women. He instantly recognized the one in the back. “Kagome…” He whispered to himself as he lowered his telescope. The sun began to disappear beyond the horizon and the Silver Hanyou closed the window, locking himself in.

Kago looked down and saw her ship docking on shore. “Sango, look!” The two girls watched as the pirates abandoned ship and began to attack the village. “This is our chance!”

 

Sango nodded and Kirara eased herself down onto the abandoned ship. The two girls jumped off of her and Kirara went back to her original size. Kago yanked her sword from her belt and stormed towards the captain's quarters. “Open this door this instant!” She yelled, hoping that The Silver Hanyou was off of the ship as well.

 

“Shouldn't we just find a new ship?” Sango asked worried.

 

Kago ignored Sango's question and kicked in the door. “I left my parrot here.”

 

The two girls looked around and saw that the room was empty. Kago smirked. “We will steal this ship from that damn hanyou and…” Kago looked at her sister who stood before her, frozen. “Sango?”

 

“I wouldn't steal this ship, if I were you, Kagome.” A man's voice came from behind Kago. She turned around and was face to face with the man who had saved her and Sango the night before. “You don't have enough crew, and that hanyou has a nasty temper.” He smirked at Kago and Kago couldn't help but to blush.

 

“This was my ship well before it was that damn hanyou's!” Kago screamed into the man's face. His violet eyes danced with amusement. “I can handle that Hanyou any day.” She added.

 

“I know, but the whole ship is now on his side.” The man said as he leaned back on the wall by the door. “It's useless. However, I can tell you how to get another ship, and crew. Then you can do what you were planning in the first place.”

 

Kago glared at the man. “He can get a new crew and ship, I'm taking mine back.”

 

The man stood up and shook his head. “I see. This isn't the right decision.”

 

Sango sat on the bed and stared at the man. “Sir? Why are you in the captain's quarters?”

 

The man looked dumbfounded for a moment. “Uh, well, I saw you two sneak in here and I followed you to make sure you don't get yourselves killed.”

 

“I'm not afraid of dying.” Kago growled. “Why would you care?”

 

The man sat down and smiled at the women. “I was betrothed to get married.”

 

The two women exchanged looks but listened to the man.

 

“I was the youngest child. She was their youngest child as well. However, what would you do if you were strong headed and some one decided your future for you?” The man gestured towards Kago.

 

“I'd run away, and become a pirate.” Kago said.

 

The man smiled. “Of course, for you, being a pirate is everything.” The man shook his head. “Keh, well, the girl I was betroth to, also ran away.”

 

Kago stared at him in shock. “She also ran…” Kago couldn't help but to think, `My betrothed ran as well…' She let out a sigh. “What is the point of all of this? Why do you care what happens to us?”

 

The man smirked. “You will find out in due time. However, if they come back, you will be in danger.” He then rushed over to the two girls and grabbed their arms. “Leave.”

 

Kago yanked her arm from the man's grasp. She turned around and faced him. “I am not afraid of any of them.”

 

The man frowned. “It's for the best.”

 

“I will not leave!” Kago yelled at the man. “This is my ship!”

 

“I guess there's no choice.” The man leaned forward and planted his lips upon Kago's lips. Kago didn't know how to respond. It was her first kiss.

 

Sango gasped as she watched the man claim her younger sister's lips. He then parted from her and Kago wore a look of disbelief as the man suddenly threw both girls out the window. He then slammed the window close. Kago glared at the ship.

 

“THEIF!!!” She yelled as she swung her fist in the air towards the ship.

 

The man opened the window one last time and threw out a piece of paper. “Enjoy your crew!” He then closed the window.

 

Kago caught the paper and opened it up. In beautiful handwriting, it said:

 

“Dear Kagome,

 

This is for the best as your shipmates all know that you're a female. The crew that I am telling you of is a strong crew and they hate captain Silver Hanyou with all that they are. You and I must never meet again.

 

Yours truly,”

 

Kago frowned. “He didn't sign it!” She growled as she turned over the paper and looked at the map.

 

“He has a point, Kago.” Sango said.

 

Kago frowned. “Who is he, why is he always on my ship?” She looked at Sango. `I can't endanger my sister's life either. I will stop trying to claim this ship for now. However, I will kill the Hanyou one day.'

 

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

 

The man leaned against the wall, taking in a deep breath. “Stupid, why did I…?” He shook his head and looked down at his shoes. “As long as she doesn't know who I am, what I am… I can accomplish this mission.” He then smirked. `To think, we're total enemies, and yet, we have the same mission.' He then walked towards the bed and sat down on it. `Kagome, I will succeed in this mission, and you nor any one else will stop me.'

 

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

 

The sun was rising and Kago and Sango started to get dressed. After their short swim to shore, Kago and Sango quickly took off their clothes so that they would not catch a cold, and hung up their clothes to dry. However, with out any sun, the clothes only got cold. Sango sighed and looked at Kago. “I guess we're off to see that crew, eh?”

 

Kago nodded her head and looked off towards the destroyed town. “I better act like I'm your brother so that I don't get accused of being a pirate.” Kago whispered to her sister.

 

“Right, can't very well pose as my sister in those clothes, right?” Sango laughed.

 

The two girls walked on the shore edge and Kago looked at the map that she held in her hands. “According to the jerk's map, the ship and crew should be beyond the mountain over there.” Kago said as she pointed towards a beautiful mountain a good distance away.

 

Sango smiled. “That's not that far.”

 

Kago stopped walking and Sango walked into her. “Where's Kirara?”

 

Sango frowned. “I thought she was by us.” She looked around and Kago let out a sigh. “That's so weird.”

 

Kago shook her head. “I'm sure she will find us.” She then continued to walk while Sango kept looking around.

“Captain?”

 

The Silver Hanyou twitched his ears as the voice of his best friend came through the door. “Go away.”

 

Miroku shook his head and grumbled. “You need to wake up, we have a prisoner.”

 

The Silver Hanyou's eyes flung open. `Rin!' He quickly jumped to his feet and looked at his claws. `Good, it is time.' He rushed over to the door and grabbed his hat as he opened the door. All of his new pirates stood before him, holding a little girl no older then five in their grasp. She had long black hair and a golden dress on. “Well, look at what we have here.” He mumbled. He took in the little girl and gave her a wicked smile. “Put her in the jail. I will write up the ransom letter and we will go from there.”

 

Miroku nodded and turned to the pirates. “You heard the captain! Lock `er up!”

 

The Silver Hanyou sat at his desk and took out his pen and ink. He then pulled a piece of paper towards him when something caught his eye. He got up from his chair and walked towards his closet and opened the door to reveal Kirara. She was sound asleep in the closet. He knelt down to her and shook his head. `Well well, looks like I have a stowaway.' He touched her at the base of her ear and frowned. “Keh, wake up or I'll feed you to the sharks!” He said as he pushed on Kirara's back.

 

Kiara blinked a couple of times and then looked at him. She instantly growled. The Silver Hanyou rolled his eyes and picked her up by her back. “Off you go.” He then opened up the window and threw Kirara out the window. She quickly transformed and glared at the Silver Hanyou. He just slammed the window closed.

 

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

 

Kago and Sango were at the foot of the mountain when Sango sat down, exhausted. “Kagome, I don't know about you, but I'm so hungry.” She said barely above a whisper.

 

Kago smiled down at her sister. “Fine, I'll see if I can find us some food.” She placed her right hand on Sango's shoulder. “Stay here, okay?”

 

Sango nodded as Kago quickly rushed off. Sango pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly. The adventure was never ending and Sango was worn out from it already. She looked towards the sky and smiled softly. “I hope you're okay, Kirara.” She then closed her eyes and leaned back onto the ground.

 

“Reow.”

 

Sango's eyes fluttered open at the familiar noise. “Kirara!” She sat up and saw Kirara flying towards her. “Kiara!” She yelled in hopes that Kirara would come down to her. It worked. Kiara returned into her normal form and fell into Sango's awaiting arms.

 

Kago appeared over the hill and smiled down at her sister. `Good, Kiara's back.' Kago walked down to the two and smiled. “Good to have you back, Kiara. I'll get more food for you in a minute. Here Sango. I found some fruit over the hill.” Sango gratefully accepted the fruit as Kago went to get more. With in a few minutes, Kago had enough food for all three of them. They relaxed and ate until the food was gone. Sango petted Kirara and whispered something in Kiara's ear. She then released Kiara and Kiara turned back into a huge youki once again. The two girls got on her back.

 

“What did you tell her, Sango?” Kago asked.

 

“I told her that she will be getting a big steak dinner when we all go home.” Sango said with a giggle. Kago looked down and frowned.

 

Sango looked back at her sister. “What's the matter?”

 

Kago let out a sigh. “I don't know if I want to… go back.”

 

Sango shifted herself uncomfortably. “You have to. So much has happened since you left.”

 

Kago smiled meekly. “I don't remember even how to act like a girl.”

 

Sango giggled. “That's easy to remember. You have to meet our youngest brother though.”

 

Kago sighed. `I keep forgetting about him.' Kago nodded. “I had heard that he was born about ten years ago.”

 

Sango glanced back at Kago. “You really know a lot even though you were not home!”

 

Kago smiled meekly once again. “It was part of my planning. I had to have the perfect plan.”

 

Sango looked down and smiled. “Look! There's a ship!”

 

Kago felt herself get excited. “That must be it!” The three moved in closer and Kago studied the ship. Instantly, dread flooded in. “Turn back, now!”

 

Sago looked at Kago in shock. “Why?”

 

Kago just tightened her grip on Sango. “It's them.”

 

Sango looked down and sucked in a deep breath. “Not him again!”

 

Kouga looked up from his ship which he had returned home with the night before up towards the girls. “You returned to me!” He yelled as he signaled the other pirates to capture them. “My future bride!”

 

Kago turned pale and the three started to make their escape, however, they heard a cannon go off and suddenly a net was all around them. The two girls shrieked as the net tightened around the girls, yanking them from the sky. They were then slammed onto the deck of the ship and Kouga walked up to the girls. “What brings you back to me?”

A/N: Thank you to everyone who had reviewed. Your reviews are the one thing that keeps me going with the stories. Hope that you're all enjoying this story.

 

Preview: The Silver Hanyou yelled at his pirates to load up the canyons for battle. The other ships were much faster then his and he grumbled with anger as the closest ship pulled up by their side.

 

“I have come to take back what you have stolen.”

 

The Silver Hanyou's face faltered as he recognized the masculine voice. He turned to face the one man that he could never beat. The one man who he used to admire when he was younger.

 

“Sesshomaru…” The Silver Hanyou growled.
