InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deep Waters ❯ Ch.6 ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6

Inuyasha led Kagome out to where the festivities were being held. Kagome looked around in awe, there were so many men, she had never seen all the crew together like this, there was over 80 people (I dunno how many people there are on a pirate ship) all together. They all looked ready for a party and hungry, she desperately that she and Myoga had made enough for this starving bunch. As she observed she noticed there was not one girl on board. `All sexist pigs,' She thought as a disgusted look came across her face and she let out a little `hmph'. Inuyasha noticed this and looked at her, "Wha's wrong?" He asked only half listening.

"Well, for one you are barely listening to me, maybe the things I have to say are important." She stated in her best noble voice. He looked at her shocked, not even Miroku; one of his good friends could tell when his attention wavered.

"Well, now you got my attention so, what is wrong?" He asked, copying her dignified voice.

"Well, now you are mocking me and I find that very offensive.” She said with a playful grin. “Where are all the women?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest. She still didn't feel comfortable with a whole shipload of men, especially after what happened with Kouga.

"I wasn't mocking ya, I was answerin' in a likewise dignified voice." He answered, a small smile creeping onto his lips. Kagome liked it. "And, there ain't no women `cept Sango, which we're goin' to find. She's a good friend and I bet you'd get along great with her. Now where is that lazy wench." He said. What he didn't know was that `that lazy wench' was standing right behind him.

She cleared her throat then said, "Cap'n, this lazy wench is standing right behind you." She said in a straight voice, but Kagome and Inuyasha turned around they could see a vein popping out of her forehead. Sango was tall for a girl, only about three inches shorter than Inuyasha. She had brown hair pulled into a tight ponytail and a slim figure. She had brown eyes and wore sexy magenta eye shadow with gave her a certain edge. She wore a tight black top with a pink seem, showing of her curvy form and tight fitted, matching black pants. She had long black boots, a gun and sword at her hip.

She couldn't help the small giggles that escaped her as she tried to contain her fit of laughter. She had to admit they were both pretty funny. They looked at her oddly before they returned their attention to the other. "Yes, Cap'n?" Asked Sango.

"This," He indicated to the girl beside him, "Is Kagome. She'll be your charge for tonight." He said.

"Oh, but Cap'n, you know I like to have fun on days like this!" She protested.

"Suck it up, I'm sure you guys will have a lot in common." She didn't look convinced. "For example, you're both really weird." He laughed.

That earned a `hey' from the girls and two slaps. "Not funny," said Kagome.

"Haha, nice to meet you, Kagome was it?" Asked Sango smiling. Kagome nodded her head.

 

Sango stuck out her hand, "I'm Sango, second mate." She greeted.

"Nice to meetchya." Said Kagome.

"I'm sure we'll be great friends, it'll be nice to have another woman on board, men are all alike, stupid and always hungry." She laughed, Kagome laughed to. Inuyasha just growled, they were acting like he wasn't there. In truth Kagome forgot all about Inuyasha. "Sides, we all ready got one thing in common." She continued.

"What's that?" Kagome asked.

"No respect of the captain." She said before they both broke out into laughter. Inuyasha began to pout. Seeing they would be laughing for a while he took his leave. He would get his revenge later on.

"So, Kagome, you much of a drinker?" Sango asked.

"Not really the most I've ever had was a glass of wine on my birthday." She replied in all honesty. Sango secretly laughed. She knew Kagome would be pressured to have a couple of drinks, a drunk Kagome would be just plain amusing.

"Oh, the food should be comin' out now, let's go eat." Sango laughed. Kagome could tell she was the kind of person who could make any situation funny and have a good laugh. If only there was one of those people back home. Home, she hadn't thought about it for a long time, honestly she didn't really miss it. But her family would be worried, especially Souta, her little brother. "Hey, where's the cap'n?" She asked just noticing Inuyasha had left. That stirred Kagome, she hadn't even notice that Inuyasha had left.

Inuyasha, he seemed different than all the stories she had heard about pirates. His long silver hair and amber eyes, his tan skin, gods he was gorgeous. He always wore his hair in a messy fashion, unbound and unkempt, though it always looked like silk. Tonight he was wearing a white long sleeved shirt with the first couple of buttons open. He had black pants and brown boots. Around his waist was his sword, Tetseiga, she'd seen him wear it every time she saw him, it seemed part of him as much as his hands or legs. He was as kind as gentle as an upper class man, if not more, but his fiery temper made him a force to reckon with. He was so strong and overprotective but in her heart she knew she could never leave him, not even for her fiancé back home.

They looked to the table and saw Inuyasha at the head of the table with Miroku on his right. Sango noticed to and quickly said, "I gotta go take my seat, I'll catch ya after we're done eatin'." Kagome was still in her daze so she just nodded. She saw that everyone was heading for the tables so she better grab a seat, `Wait, what seat, you moron where do you sit?' Her subconscious thought. `Oh well, I don't want to bother Inuyasha anymore, might as well find the nicest looking ones and sit beside them.' So she began to look, she found a kind looking man named, Yusuka, and sat with him. He was tall with broad shoulders and black hair pulled into a tight braid. They greeted each other and began to do small talk, about how he became a pirate and all; it turned out that he worked on one of her father's ships.

Meanwhile, at the head of the table Inuyasha was lashing out at Sango for loosing Kagome, he wondered where she would eat considering he never told her. He had planned for her to eat up front with him although that didn't seem to work out. "She's all alone on a pirate ship full of lusty men, and you thought it'd be a good idea t'leave her alone!" He steamed, trying not to make a show.

"Sorry cap'n, how was I suppos'd to know?"

"Well, let me think, the way I said she was you're charge!" He fumed.

"Inuyasha, you don't have to yell, it was a mistake, I'm sure she's fine. If you want I'll go look for her." Miroku defended, he hated to see Sango scolded or hurt. He was the only one besides Kagome who was aloud to call him Inuyasha on board, and he enjoyed that privilage very much, but he assumed the only reason was because he had known Inuyasha before he became a pirate. He used to be a priest but his perverted ways got him kicked out of his temple, from there he became a pirate. To go with his boyish good looks, dark hair pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck, he wore a purple shirt and black pants, he wore black boots which went up to his knee.

"Fine, go look for her Miroku." Seethed Inuyasha, trying to regain his cool attitude.

Miroku began to search for Kagome looking at all the tables, finally when he was at the fifth out of seven tables he saw her sitting with Yusuka. "Lady Kagome, Inuyasha wants you to come sit with him." He said politely.

"Well, tell him that I'm enjoying Yusuka's company right now and that I'll join him later on." She said fake smiling.

"No, it's okay, I'm sure Inuyasha needs your company more than me.” Yusuka responded quietly, afraid of the captain's wrath. "It's been a pleasure talking with you, Lady Kagome."

With that Kagome got up and followed Miroku to Inuyasha's table, wondering why everyone was so afraid of Inuyasha, he was a little temperamental, but, from what she gathered, he would never hurt his crew.

At the end of the table there was an awkward silence, Sango wouldn't look at anyone ashamed, Miroku was deep in thought about Sango. Kagome was angry with Inuyasha and was giving him the silent treatment while Inuyasha was silently pondering what he did wrong. They ate in silence picking at their food, none of them that hungry anymore. The only sounds were of the crew feasting, talking and laughing.

Once Miroku tried to start a conversation, after all, now would be an opportune moment to learn about Kagome. "Why, what phenomenal cooking, Kagome! It tastes so much better than Myoga's! Maybe you should stay and cook for us more often.” He said with a small smile.

"Thank you Miroku," She replied delighted that someone enjoyed her cooking. And that was the end of their conversation. Miroku seemed to accept this and went back to picking at his food and pondering about Sango as he seemed to do with most of his free time.

Finally, when everyone was done eating Inuyasha stood up and announced, "Congrats on a well done raid! Let the party begin!" On cue, Myoga came out with the sake and ale. Inuyasha would drink tonight; gods he needed it after what Kagome put him through, tempting him every minute of the day. Oh, this would be a enjoyable night.
