InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deep Waters ❯ Ch.1 ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter one




It was a beautiful day on the coast of Sendai, perfect for sailing, Inuyasha thought to himself. And it was, the gulls were flapping through the air giving off their loud cries. It was a day like every other day: Inuyasha yelling at the crew for slacking off…the crew was slacking off. Captain Inuyasha wasn't the kindest of men and the crew knew and understood it well, none dared to defy him, he was after all one of the most feared pirates in all of Japan. Currently, the ship was heading for Yokohama, a village that was prime for plundering.

 

Inuyasha was just about to retire to his chambers after his eight-hour shift to get five hours of sleep before his next shift. He marched over to his second in command, Miroku, and ordered him to take charge while he was sleeping, as was his duty that came with his position. When he started descending the stairs he heard one of his men yell to another, "There's a woman in the water! Come look! She's quite the beauty or so she appears.”

Inuyasha didn't bother to look at this supposedly attractive woman and continued to his chambers. It was only when he noticed that nearly all the crew working were gathering around the side to see her that he approached, dead set on telling them to get back to work. He stormed up to the men; angry at the fact that his peaceful slumber had been disturbed when he heard an ear-shattering scream. Finally, he decided to take a look at the young beauty, though he was so far away he could still slightly make out her features with his hanyou vision. She had tangled raven hair that floated around the water as she floundered about; her long dress was pale and clung to her body, leaving none to the imagination. “Help me!” She shrieked. She mustn't have noticed they were pirates yet.

 

He stepped closer to the rail, trying to see the tempting lady more when he received a hard shove in the back. He could not stop himself as he toppled over the edge of the rail into the murky water. “Who the hell pushed me into the water?” He screamed up. All the men took a step back, trying to look like they had been no where near him or the rail, all except for Miroku.

 

“Captain, I thought that you should go save her.” He yelled innocently.

 

“Miroku! You son of a bitch! I'm gonna fucking kill you when I get back up!” But Miroku just shook his head.

 

“Save her first! Until then no one lowers the rope!” He commanded.

 

“What the hell! Men lower the rope! What the hell are you getting at?” He screamed.

 

“Inuyasha! You haven't gotten busy since her! This is your chance!” He replied. Grudgingly Inuyasha began to swim towards the distressed damsel, knowing that he wouldn't get back up until he saved the girl. He cursed Miroku and vowed that he would inflict serious pain on the men who dared betray him and turn him into a public spectacle.

 

He swam over to the girl as she flailed around helplessly. His silver hair seemed to glow as he approached her and he peered at her, know able to get a better look at her. In fact she was a beauty, stunning blue eyes and firm lips that were nearly blue, he wondered how long she had been in the water. Strangely there was no ship, he wondered why she was in the water, if there was no shipwreck what was she doing, obviously not taking a leisurely swim. “Listen, wench, I've been pushed into the water to come get you. Come on.” He said swimming away, expecting her complete cooperation since she was nearly freezing to death.

 

“Who are you?” She asked, treading water and not moving an inch. She had been told never to go with strangers, no matter where she was.

 

“Shouldn't I be the one asking questions wench? I am after all the one helping you.” He said arrogantly, which she huffed up at. Seeing that she would be stubborn he answered. “Inuyasha, you happy?”

 

Her eyes widened and she looked at him terrified, “Are you the Captain Inuyasha? The pirate?” She questioned.

 

“Well I can't lie. Come on!” He said getting frustrated.

 

"No! You're a pirate, I'll never go with you, I'd rather die out here." She said. He could tell that she was from upper class. She was snobby and looked down on him rather than cower in fear. An idiot.

"Listen girl, you don't really have a choice `cause it will take hours, if not days for people to come to get you. First I doubt you can tread water that long and this is shark-infested water. Care to take your chances?" That shut her up, her arms and legs were starting to tire, she wasn't aware of how long she had been out there but she was exhausted. She was startled from her thoughts when she noticed the water was shifting. He was swimming away.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going mister?" She yelled.

"Well you were taking so long to decide and I thought I felt something rub against my leg. I didn't feel like finding out what it was." He answered, toying with her.

"That bastard, leaving me like this, saying he felt some-EEP!" She was cut short because she felt something against her leg. "Wait! You moron! Stop swimming! Wait for me! It's harder to swim in a dress you know!" She yelled.

"No, I don't, I don't swing that way." He laughed. He stopped and waited for her to catch up. "So, what's your name girl?"

"Kagome, if you must know, revolting pirate.”

"Ouch,” He said sarcastically. “You cut me deep.” You can't think that lowly of us can you? I mean what did we do to you?" He asked.

"You killed my mother and brother! That's what you did." She yelled at him.

He was kind of shocked by this but put his guard back up. "Listen bitch, it's a career choice, just like baking or welding. Besides we help people in a way, your navy would be out of the job if we didn't give them something to chase." He answered pointedly.

She didn't want to stop to recognize his good point, if she did she might have second thoughts. "You think of this as a game, that's all this is isn't it?" She asked in awe. It would take a monster to see something that barbaric as a game.

 

By this time they had arrived at the side of the ship. "Start climbing up the rope and no! This isn't a game; it's a living! Listen princess, it's a brutal world out there, not every one is going to pamper you! I'd start sucking it up, you are after all on a pirate ship."

"No you pervert! You'll see up my dress!"

"There's nothing I want to see!" Which was a lie but she didn't need to know that. Then something clicked in his brain, "Wait why am I arguing with you, you're my prisoner!"

"Excuse me! Prisoner! I think not!" She responded but started to climb the rope anyway, which had been thrown down to them. She didn't want to think of what was on the other end.

"Well you better think again bitch, you're on my ship, with no one to save you. That means you're my prisoner unless you're too stupid to figure that out." He laughed. He never enjoyed a fight this much in his life.

"Why! You jerk! You stupid bastard! When the navy comes to get me they'll skin you head to toe!"

"News flash! I'm a pirate! They haven't caught me yet! One more person won't make them come for me."

"But you're wrong there mister I'm the…" She slapped her hand over her mouth. She almost let her position slip. If they knew they'd hold her for ransom or kill her, neither were too appealing. Maybe if she was lucky they'd drop her off next time they stop, she doubted that.

She was extremely bad at climbing the rope so it took a prolonged time. As she just reached the top. She then noticed all the men on the ship, all the pirates. They were ugly, bloodthirsty killers. But for bloodthirsty killers all of them weren't revolting looking, no some of them were quite handsome, but only some. They were eyeing her like meat she didn't like that. "You're what?" Inuyasha asked as he jumped on deck. He also didn't like the way the men were eyeing her. "Back to work you bastards we're not going to dock today if you keep this up!"

"I'm nothing." She said and offered a weak smile of thanks for stopping the men.

There was awkward moment of silence before Inuyasha said, "Inuyasha, my name's Inuyasha." She looked at him funny then smiled a nice smile. He didn't seem so bad. Plus he was kind of cute. `Cute? Where'd that come from!' She thought. "Go below deck to my chambers, you'll get in the way up here." Truthfully, he didn't want any other men looking at her like that. With her dress all wet it clung to her like a second skin revealing her more inappropriate places. "Come on, I'll show you where it is." He said.

Kk that's it. Oh ya, no I am not stealing this from Crazy Bish, who wrote this as a Yu-Gi-Oh story, because I am Crazy Bish and personally prefer Inuyasha stories.
