Ch.3

 

 

 

 

Inuyasha woke up first to the gentle rocking of the boat. He looked over at Kagome from his bed. She looked so peaceful and he couldn't help but study her uncommonly attractive features yet again. He almost felt bad for putting her through this, what were the chances that she would be found like this. Not once had this happened before, and he couldn't help but wonder about the strange circumstances. “Lazy girl.” He mumbled under his breath. “Wake up wench. It's time for you to get to work.” He said gruffly.

"Five more minutes.” She answered with a yawn before rolling over in her sleep. “I don't wanna go to church." She whispered before turning over again. This time she wasn't as lucky to hit a wall and fell onto the dirty floorboards.

He smirked at her victoriously, satisfied that she had been fully woken up. “Listen wench.” He said cockily. “This ain't no church and you definitely don't got no choice in the matter of when you get up." He said more forcefully before lightly shoving her with the toe of his boot.

 

All he got in response was a loud huff. “Watch your manners, asshole.” She ground out before standing up. She began to dust off the dress she had slept in, unsuccessfully trying to smooth out all the wrinkles. She was just about to complain about how her back hurt from the uncomfortable dress when she saw a tanned chest. She looked at it curiously before tilting her eyes up so that she stared at the handsome face of a dog-eared pirate captain. “Uh hi,” She said confused. “Damn it!” She all but shrieked when she recalled what had passed. “I was hoping you were a nightmare.” She told him honestly, she couldn't help the snippy tone her voice took.

 

“Damn you.” He told her before glaring at her.

 

She couldn't stop the hand that swung its way and slapped him hard across the face. She stared agape at the red mark where her hand had collided with his face. “Oh my God, I am so sorry!” She cried out honestly. She had never been so angry with some one as to slap them before, every time she lost her patience she had just left the room instead of staying to rant. Obviously her previous manner of handling her temper worked a lot better than this one considering that she could almost see the red bleeding into his eyes.

“You lazy, inconsiderate bitch! I save your pathetic life out of pure pity and then I even give you clothes and a job that doesn't even involve your body and you slap! I'll throw you over board for your insolence!”

“Fine then! It'd be better then this you insane bastard!” She yelled.
"You are too much work! I don't know why I saved you in the first place! I should kill you here as a memory of your intolerable being!" He yelled before he stomped out of the room and slammed the door behind him. She stared at the empty door where her fearsome capturer had just stormed out of. She had had it. He had invoked strange, foreign feelings in her then screamed her head off. Not only was she confused, she was exhausted and was done with the hell her life was. She no longer cared if she died that minute, she didn't even want to try and escape, her ship had been miles away from land when she had been plunged into the frigid water. Even if she somehow managed to escape the large vessel she was currently situated in, there was no way she could possibly swim all the way to shore without drowning or being attacked by sharks. So instead of wasting her time on trying to create a plan to help her escape, she decided to sit there and wallow in self-pity. It was one of the most pathetic things she could have done but she was tired, hungry, lost and on a pirate ship with an insane captain and the crew were probably moronic rapists. No, this seemed like the best thing to do.

She waddled over to a corner and got herself comfortably planted on the hard ground. She pulled up her knees to her chest and wrapped her pale arms around her knees before burying her head into her knees, ready to cry herself back to sleep. Just as she began to doze off Inuyasha barged into the room. She lifted her tear stained face and glanced at his angry face. He was clean- now and he looked more handsome, if possible. “I hate you.” She said lightly, completely aware that his hanyou senses had picked it up.

 

“Yeah, yeah, me too. Anyway, I'm going up to do my job now. Stay here.” He said before departing the room once again.

 

"Like I have anywhere else to go." She called to the closed door. She sighed and looked around the room. Nothing interesting. God, this was so boring! Her thoughts slowly drifted to the hanyou currently on the deck above her.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

Up on deck he couldn't stop thinking about her. Her clear blue eyes, her pointed nose and flowing raven locks. He felt bad. There was no use sugar coating it, he couldn't help it. He was a sucker for women who cried, not only that, but he was the one who made her cry. He decided when his shift was over he would apologize. He looked up at the sun, only half an hour left. He loved being a pirate but sometimes it was so boring. They hadn't seen a ship all day. That meant no burning, no killing and no stealing. Life was so unfair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Half an hour later*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He walked down the stairs and entered his chambers. The room was completely abandoned except for the distressed girl sleeping on her small pallet, if you would even consider it that. He found his gaze trailing towards her. She had fresh tear marks on her cheeks and her eyelashes were stuck together. He couldn't stop the pang of guilt that seemed to be glued inside his chest. It was his fault, maybe he should apologize for the whole mess and explain that he would drop her off at the next port, he planned to do that all along but it might make her a little more forgiving knowing that.

 

He walked over to her, not caring at the loud creeks that his boots made. He knelt down beside the dormant girl before lightly shaking her. Her eyes fluttered a little, trying to break the gluey substance her tears had formed on her eyelashes. She noticed that somewhere during her nap she had fell over and was sleeping fully on the floor. She sat up and stretched her back, trying to work out all the kinks. When she saw that he was beside her she quickly tilted her chin and faced away from him. “I'm still angry at you.” She explained coolly. “Please take me home.” She begged.

"Umm, yeah, about that, I'm sorry. Okay?" He mumbled quietly. To be able to say that took a large notch off of his pride.

"What? Did the great pirate captain Inuyasha just apologize to me? I feel so special." She giggled.

“I take it I'm forgiven.” He chuckled.

“I guess so.” She answered and smiled her first full smile at him. He smirked knowing that she was still a little afraid of him, it wouldn't do if she had no fear of him at all. She went up to him and timidly kissed him on the cheek.

"Come on, you're the first person I've ever apologized to and all I get is a kiss on the cheek." He said jokingly.

“While be glad you didn't apologize to a man then.” She mocked. He flinched at the idea but soon was overcome by a loud hearty laugh. “You have a nice laugh.” She complimented.

She slowly leaned in and gave him a small peck on the lips. She couldn't lie and say she was a little scared about kissing such a powerful man but instantly melted into his arms. The kiss was innocent, nothing to the depth of other kisses Inuyasha had participated in but the feeling of her soft lips, he could not deny, tasted a lot sweeter than many of the other whores he had before.

She withdrew slowly and gazed into his molten eyes, they were enticing and sexy. She tried to hide the dark blush that crept onto her cheeks but it seemed that it just wouldn't go away. She looked away and Inuyasha gently grabbed her chin and turned her face so she was facing him. Then a new lady barged through the large door interrupting whatever might have happened. “Captain! Captain! We're under attack!" The mysterious woman yelled. "Oh, sorry for interrupting.” She said nonchalantly when she saw Kagome.

"Damn it Sango!” He swore before looking at Kagome. “Stay here and don't let anyone in alright? Don't be stupid.” He said before scrambling out the door.

 

"Inuyasha, you be careful!" She yelled at the empty doorway.

“Uh, I better be leaving.” The woman now introduced as Sango said before following Inuyasha out the door.

 

Kagome was left alone in the room with a bolted door in front of her. She knew she should be happy. There was a large chance that this was the navy coming to save her but she couldn't help but be worried about Inuyasha.
