InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deep Waters ❯ Ch.2 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

Kagome followed Inuyasha obediently to his chambers without a word. While they were walking Kagome noticed how his wet shirt clung to him to reveal his muscles. She decided that he was muscular but not overly, just perfect. Kind of handsome. `Handsome? Why do I keep thinking these things? She wondered to herself, it was strange, and she couldn't help but feel the least bit attracted to her pirate savior. He wasn't too bad looking in truth, he had bad boy looks that clearly stated `I wouldn't be accepted by society, nor do I want too. Fuck off!' His long silver hair trailed down to his buttocks and before, she had noticed his piercing molten amber eyes.

She was roused from her admiring thoughts about the gorgeous male specimen when he poked her on the waist, efficiently stirring her from her thoughts. "Hello? Earth to Kagome! You there?" He asked carelessly, he didn't like being ignored and that was exactly what she was doing.

"What? Oh yes, I'm here. Sorry." She replied absently looking at him. He seemed gruff, but she couldn't understand why he was so feared, he wasn't as horrible as the stories she heard had made him seem.

"Yeah, I could tell. What were you thinking about?" He asked curious. `Wait when did I start caring about anyone?' He thought appalled by his sudden show of emotion. Experience told him that it was not a good feeling, he needed to get anyway from the ignorant, bossy, stuck up wench.

"Oh," She started to blush as she remembered her unpure thoughts about him. She was at loss of what to say so instead she replied snappily. "None of business!"

"Oh, sorry miss I'm better than you `cause I ain't no pirate!" He yelled. "Anyway, get out of that." He said trying to regain his raging temper.

"No!” She screamed indignantly. “You said I would be safe!" She yelled and started to back away from him.

He looked at her confused, how wasn't she safe? "Huh? What? Oh, I get it you think I'm going to rape you or something? I told you to get out of that because you'll get sick. I don't know how long you were in that water but if your lips are any sign, too long." He answered a little bit offended.

"Sure! Fine get the fuck out!" She stuck her nose up in the air. "Get out!" She repeated.

"No, it's my room." He answered stubbornly.

"Listen you, I am not your prisoner or your sex slave I am simply on this boat for the time being. I won't accomplish every one of your needs! Now get out!"

"I said no." He replied crossing his arms in a childish manner.

"Get the fuck out of this room this moment!"

He was enjoying this so he said it again to see how far he could push her. "No."

She put her head down, and for second he thought she had given up. He couldn't say he was disappointed when she put her head up and it was bright red. She wasn't giving up yet; maybe he was enjoying this a little too much. "Get out right now!" She grabbed a candle leer and chucked it at him as hard as she could, then a shoe, a map, then a lamp and then a paper holder that weighed 20 pounds, all equally as hard. Unfortunately for Inuyasha everything hit him. He was amazed by her aim; it was perfect. Though he couldn't deny he was also terrified of what she might throw next. She was getting awfully close to his spare sword. He decided to take refuge in the hallway. He let out a sigh of relief; he was safe although he could feel a couple of bruises forming all over his body.

"Thank you!" She yelled through the door. She looked around the room, it was empty and she wondered what she was supposed to change into exactly. “What do I wear?” She demanded crossly.

“See the chest, in there.” He replied flippantly. She peered around the room, finally seeing the wooden chest in the corner. She walked over to it, still in her dripping dress and unlatched it, revealing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen she couldn't help but wonder why a pirate would have it. It was a ruby red with a low V-neck, showing off her large bosom and black lace. She cradled the fabric to her chest and let out a feminine squeal. She peeled off the soaked dress and undergarments, impatiently wanting to get the delicate piece of cloth on her. She looked around the chest for something to wear underneath it; she refused to wear such a fancy thing without something under it. Finding nothing she gave a loud sigh and pulled back on her corset and underwear, deciding that she would wear that, and they would hopefully dry out fast enough.

Then she stepped out Inuyasha looked at her with amazement. The dress brought out the highlights in her hair and her blue eyes went excellent with it. His mouth dropped as it hugged her curves tightly. As for shoes she wore some white silk slippers she had found in the chest, strangely they all fit perfectly.

She would have asked him what he thought of the dress but the cheeky grin gave away the answer. He cleared his throat and regained his posture and said pointedly, "Umm, move, I ah, gotta get changed. It's cold, in these cloths."

She responded to his request by moving out of the doorframe. He didn't even bother to shut the door. He pulled his shirt over his head and revealed his toned chest to Kagome. She would have been lying if she said she wasn't impressed, she had seen his defined muscles through his wet shirt, but that was just a teaser of his true abdomen. He noticed that she was starring at him and asked teasingly, “Like what you see?”
She blushed furiously when she was caught and turned away to let him finish dressing without her prying eyes. Instead she transfixed herself on the gown again. It was beautiful, but the fabric seemed older, she wasn't sure how old, but older, though the dress was unmarred and to the untrained eye would have seemed to just come off the western market. “Whose dress was this?” She questioned.

When he finished dressing he came out of his room. "No one's.” He answered. “I just picked it up somewhere.” There was a pause before he continued. “Alright, you see that bed over there? You'll sleep there. You are going to be my cabin boy until the next stop.” He ordered. “You're too much trouble to keep around longer." He mumbled the last part, slightly scared of her flawless aim, she would be a good fighter if he got her a weapon like a bow.

"Why do I have to be your cabin girl." She whined.

"Oh ya, I forgot about that. Anyway, I am your captain at the moment so I could throw you over board at any moment. Besides, think of this as your repayment to me for saving your life.”

“But you didn't chose to.” She pointed out.

He shrugged nonchalantly. “But, if you want I could get another person on the crew to have you work for, although I don't know if they'll quite as kind as me. Or give you as much privacy.” He added as an afterthought, getting his point through to the stubborn girl. “Now, I have to get up in a couple of hours for my shift so I'm going to bed. I believe you had a rough day so why don't you get some sleep to?"

She nodded her head. "Yes, captain." She replied sarcastically.
