InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Her Escape ❯ The hole in the wall ( Chapter 1 )
`Inu Yasha you must promise to come visit me, please?' As he gazed
out at the sea, Inu Yasha was remembering memories from a time long past.
As the port of the capital, Gine, crept closer and closer he remembered the
promise he made to his mother all those years ago. Even though she had died
in Convear, his homeland, she was brought across the Laera sea to be buried
in her homeland, from which he was forbidden. At the memories he growled
deep in his throat ` Do those humans actually think that it would keep me
from visiting her grave? Keh. Fools.' He chuckled darkly as he finally
turned his thoughts from his mother to the ocean. ` The ocean sure is cal,
must be a storm comin' in a couple of days' " Yo Inu we're gettin close to
Gine! Sure you don't wanna turn `round?" a man with a small ponytail
questioned. "Oi, Miroku, didn't I say we're goin?" at Miroku's nod he
continued, " Then keep heading that way okay?" he shouted at him as he
walked away from the rail. " And I KNOW your lookin forward to the
women." He stated with a smirk. While grinning sheepishly Miroku
answered, " Now what ever gave you that idea?"

At the window of the highest tower in the palace, a raven haired
beauty stares longingly at the sea. ` I only used my powers once' thought the
lovely lady. `Okay, so it was more than once, but what's the harm?'
Remembering the gaping hole in the entry hall's wall, she winced. " Oh
yeah" she said softly, forgetting the rule that called for silence. Recalling the
lecture she had received from her stepmother, Kikyo, she winced again and
returned her thoughts and gaze to the sea. ` That's my chance to escape,
but…I don't know if I'll take the risk if the chance ever appears. Still I think
I should t-` "Princess Kagome!" yelled a voice from far away. " Sango-
chan!" the raven haired beauty known as Princess Kagome yelled in
response. Kagome turned from her spot at the window to look at the only
door in the room. A few seconds later another beauty burst into the room.
After regaining composure, from sprinting up the stairs the one Kagome
called Sango bowed low as Kagome curtsied deeply. Before they had fully
straightened they had launched themselves at each other to hug the other
fiercely. As they finally stepped away from each other they fixed the mess
the reunion had caused, fixing hair and clothes. " Kagome-chan, exciting
news!" Sango exclaimed when they had finished. " My step-mother is letting
me out of my punishment early?" Kagome asked trying to mask the hope in
her eyes and voice. As Sango shook her head, the little hope she had left
disintegrated. " Not so lucky, sorry." Sango gravely replied. Lightening her
voice for Kagome's sake she then said, " But the `Tama' is pulling into
port." Kagome came out of her mood with this news, " The all men and
youkai crew?" she asked excitedly. Then her excitement faded into wander
as she asked another question, " But Sango-chan, aren't they pirates?"

Inu Yasha could tell as pulled into the harbor that a group of king's
men were going to meet them at the dock. " Hey men, looks like they sent a
welcoming committee " he shouted above the noise that was carrying across
the water from the docks. " Didn't know we were soooooooo important."
Miroku chirped cheerfully. " Maybe we're important enough to see the king
I just hope its not from ` the block', if you know what I mean" Kouga said
very slowly, each word dripping with sarcasm. Miroku whispered dreamily
in reply, " I hear the princess is a beauty with no rival." The crew sighed
deeply. Inu Yasha, disgusted with them all stated loudly, " She's probably a
spoiled little princess who can't even walk on her own." "Inu Yasha you
shouldn't judge someone you haven't met, let alone gotten to know."
Miroku pointed out seriously. " Yeah, Yeah, whatever you say Ol' Wise
One." Inu Yasha replied with false admiration. "Now men, mind your
posts" he said with an evil smirk. " Gotta keep everything in tip-top shape
for the King of our enemies!" With loud whooping yells the crew hurried to
their stations.

Meanwhile, the princess was thinking a mile a minute, but one thought kept
turning up ` This is my chance to escape. I don't know if another chance will
come along; I better take it.' Sighing mightily Kagome turned to Sango, "
Sango-chan, you have to help me get out of the palace" she stated, not
wanting to beat around the bush.
