InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 2

-„On your feet, Wench!”

A shower of ice cold water cascaded on Kagome. She squealed and rapidly stood up, holding her head. She was in chains and it wasn't even sunrise. She looked up to her captor with half-opened, blood shot eyes.

-„Oh no… It's you again.”

-„On your feet, Kagome!”

She looked at him in shock,

-„How do you kno…”

-„It was the name the captain was yelling when I took you,” he said in a cold tone.

Kagome's look of loathing returned to her dirty face. The Captain kneeled in front of her. He saw she wanted to cry, but her pride wouldn't let her.

-„ Are you scared of me?” he said in a viscously mocking tone.

She quickly glared at him. It almost scared him. Never had a woman glare at him like that.

-„Why should I be scared of you?”

-„Evidentially you don't know who I am.”

-“You are the Silver Hanyou.”

The Captain looked at her with a cocky smile.

-“That's all you know, isn't it?”

-“Well, I heard that you are the most worse-natured pirate ever. All I see is a coward.”

He slapped her right acrossed her face.

-“Wench! How dare you speak to me like that?! You are trying my patience, which I have little of!”

-“And what will you do?!”

The Captain took her chin, she couldn't budge. He smiled with his bright white fangs.

-“You belong to me now. As long as I have you, you are mine! Which means, since your parents recuperate you, you belong to me! You are my servant, my slave, maid and possibly my wench. We just have to see, now don't we?” he said with a devious smile.

She spit on his face. He whipped it off and whipped it in her hair. Kagome cringed. He looked into her deep brown eyes, which had a tinge of cobalt in them.

-“Listen, girl. You don't realize who I am. You don't know what I am. I am stronger than 100 of the strongest men in the world. Think about that!”

He let go of her chin, pushing it to the side, jerking her neck.

-“I will have one of my men bring you on deck. You will do what I say if you want to live. I will see you in a wile, wench!”

He stood and stared with a stern, emotionless face at her, almost expecting her to say something. She gave him the same scary glare, huffed and looked away.

 

In his residence, the Captain prepared to divide the treasure.

-“And how will you divide the treasure, Captain?” asked Miroku, the tailed-hair pirate, witch was also the right hand.

-“I'm much generous now, have three quarters of it.”

-“Is the girl a bonus for you? Yes, Captain?” Miroku joked, lightly knocking him with his elbow.

-“No way!” the Captain yelled, blushing. “I just want to thank you for being along side of me for so much time. And there's nothing between me and the girl, you moron!”

-“Understood, Captain. Thank you and we always be right your side, right boys?” Miroku asked the crew.

-“AYE!” the crew responded.

-“But what you'll do with the lass, Captain?” asked Riku, one of the pirates.

-“The girl? I will keep her, who knows, maybe her parents will pay big money just to have her,” the Captain smiled.

-“You're right Captain,” said Hikaru. “She's Duke's Higurashi daughter, the wealthiest person in Okinawa. Surely he'll buy her back.”

-“But first, we should make her useful,” The Captain said. “Hikaru, bring her on deck and put her to clean it. It hasn't been cleaned for months.”

-“Aye, Aye, Captain,” said Hikaru and went under deck.

Back in Okinawa, the Captain of Kagome's ship arrived in the dock. He was a mess and had a bleeding arm. He arrived at the Higurashi mansion in face of the duke. Also Sesshoumaru was there, returned from his business. The captain gave the terrible news:

-“Sir, I have terrible news: we were attacked by Silver Hanyou, and Kagome was captured with the treasure on board! We couldn't do anything! They used a demonic miasma to dizzy us.”

-“What?! How could this be possible?” the duke yelled.

-“Oh, no, my daughter!” yelled Mrs. Higurashi.

-“I will give an order that she must be searched day and night and brought back safe! And that bastard to be killed! Sesshoumaru, I leave that to you. I'm sure that you will bring her back. I will also repay you when you will come back.”

-“There is no need for that, but I thank you. That bastard will pay for all his injustices and for kidnapping my future wife.”

Sesshoumaru left with his most reliable servant, Jakken, which also was an youkai, but disguised. He asked Sesshoumaru:

-“Do you really wish to save Kagome? I observed that she doesn't cherish you.”

-“Not really. I want to “save” that treasure. Kagome doesn't interest me,” Sesshoumaru said with the same iciness of his voice.

-“So you won't save her?”

-“Of course I will. I will save her because her father will repay me greatly just to see his daughter alive. When I put my hands on that treasure, I won't care about the girl.”

-“But how will you save her? It is said that “THE DEMON'S PRIDE” is protected by a spell which makes it invisible, and the island is also protected by a kekkai, which makes her impossible to find. You are very determined!”

-“Don't worry. I have a friend who can help us.”

Later, Sesshoumaru and Jakken stopped at a bar at the docks, where, as Sesshoumaru had spoken, they had to meet with his friend. Sesshoumaru said that he had confidence in his friend, because he helped him in his fight with Silver Hanyou, in which he lost his brother, and he promised that if he ever needed help, he was at command. So it was. He appeared. He weared a black cape which hid his face. When he approached, Sesshoumaru greeted him.

-“Welcome, Vurumugum! We haven't seen each other for some while.”

-“It's true, it has passed some time from when we met,” he answered. “So you became the heir of your father's ship. I'm really sorry for him, he was a great man. Speaking of relatives, I see that you didn't obtain Tetsusaiga.”

-“We haven't brought you here to speak about that!” Sesshoumaru said. “We need your help.”

-“My help? Why do you need my help?” Vurumugum asks puzzled. “You're Sesshoumaru! Why do you need my help?”

-“The name Silver Hanyou rings a bell?”

The news shocked him. Unbelievable anger folded him but he tried to relax himself before something happened.

-“I wish that you help me to kill the one who killed your brother, The Captain Silver Hanyou! He captured my future wife and I need your help to find him.”

-“Silver Hanyou? That bastard? He will pay! Okay, I will help you, in the memory of my brother. He will be revenged!”

-“Don't worry, you will be repaid for your services,” Sesshoumaru said.

-“Are you sure that you will find him?” asked Jakken. “His ship is protected by a spell that makes her invisible.”

-“Be sure that he will find him, he is the best wizard of black magic that I know. Plus, how do you think we found him the first time?”

Jakken didn't say a thing.

-“Let's go now and kill that bastard!”

Then he thought:

-“That brother of mine! At least I'll have a chance to put my hands on the Tetsusaiga.”

Then all went to prepare for the fight that will be.

Kagome stood up straight in front of the band of pirates. Hikaru came and gave her a mop.

-“Swab the deck!”

She threw it down. He tried again. She stood up straight with her nose in the air. The Captain lounged in his huge chair that was perched in front of the helm. He had his elbow on the arm rest with his hand over half his face. After a few more times he yelled.
-“JUST TAKE THE BLOODY MOP!”

Kagome quickly turned around with a look of shock, but it turned into a look of ridicule.

-“Don't use such a tone with a Lady!”

The Captain jumped straight up into the air about 20 feet and landed in front of her. He got in her face and shrugged:

-“Lady? I don't see a Lady here!” Then he got in her face, “All I see here is a lazy wench that has no clue what she's up against! Now you will take that mop or…”

-“Or what?!”

She looked at the evil grin on the Captain's face as he stepped in front of her. She stood in silence, but screamed when with a few swipes with his claws, her dress was in shreds and fell of her. Now she was in her undergarments. She was to shocked and embarrassed to do anything. The Captain stepped back with his arms crossed with a devious, satisfied look on his face. Kagome's face turned scary as she gritted her teeth and clinched her fists.

-“Well, well, you're brave, aren't you, wench!”

Kagome burst, but was hold by some men.

-“Stop calling me Wench! I have a name! Kagome! KA-GO-ME!”

The Captain picked up a barrel and put it just a few feet in front of Kagome. He tossed it in the air like it weighed nothing, then with his claws he sliced it up, metal rings and all. Now Kagome was very scared.

-“If you push your luck too much WENCH, next time you will be in the barrel!”

He walked behind her and took out her bun. Her hair dropped in a perfect braid all the was to around her knees. He chucked.

-„I think it's time for a haircut!”

He swiped just below her shoulder blade. She looked in horror as about 4 feet of hair dropped to the ground. Tears began to accumulate in her eyes as she yelled.

-„I've grown my hair since I was 6!”

The Captain picked it up and hold it in front of her face.

-“Be careful as I'll cut the rest off! Maybe I'll cut wrong and cut your jugular as well”

He was very angry at this point.

-“Now, while you're so stubborn, you will scrub the deck by hand. Shippou?!”

The kitsune ran up to him and stood in attention.

-“Yes, Sir?”

-“Consider this your day off! I don't want to see you helping her either! Got that?”

Shippou looked at Kagome with pity.

-“Aye, Aye, Sir.”

-“Now pick up that bucket and scrub every inch of the deck up here, including the railing. I want it done before sundown!”

-“But that's impossible!” Kagome cried.

The Captain looked and said in a very cocky voice:

-“Well, you'll just have to make it possible and to make it possible, you better start now!”
Kagome growled at him as she turned to go scrubbing. The Captain stepped in front of her.

-“You want to growl? Well, you are awful at it!"

He then growled at her. It sounded just like a dog. She gave him a confused look. The she noticed he had no ears.

-“Where are your ears?”

The crew started to whisper. But then she did the worst thing she could do, she went on her tip toes and took off his hat.

-“Oh! You have dog ears?”

She saw that he was more then pissed at her. She got nervous as the crowd started to yell:

-“Stupid wench! That was an awful move!”

She smiled nervously and said a bit scared:

-“But I don't think you should hide them! I think they're cute!”

The crew began to laugh. The Captain put his hat on and growled.

-“Did you just…just…called me cute?”

He threw her down.

-“You just called the most fierce pirate on the 7 seas CUTE?!”

-“Oh, no!” she whispered.

He grabbed her by the back of her bodice and went over to the side of the ship. She screamed as he held her over the edge, suspending in the air with nothing below her but the rushing waters.

-“Do you think I'm cute now?” he snarled.

She quickly shook her head.

-“Next time you call me cute, I will drop you!”

He turned and threw her acrossed the deck. She screamed in pain.

-“Now grab your bucket and get to work!”

Kagome winched in pain as she crawled over to get her bucket and brush, trying not to show her weakness by crying. She knew she had to be brave.

 

XXXXXXXXXX

 

Kagome was scrubbing the railing as hard as she could, but the salt built up was incredible. Then the pirate who said that she was a witch came up to her. She got in defense stance.

-“Don't worry! I come in peace!” he said as he put his hands up.

She eyed him as he tried to lean against the rail.

-“Oh, no! Not on that side! I just cleaned it!”

-“Oh, sorry!” he said as he went to the other side then he struck up some conversation.

-“So, you're Duke's Higurashi daughter?”

-“Yes, and you will pay for capturing me!”

-“We're sorry, but those are the Captain's orders.”

-“Is it true that The Silver Hanyou is a youkai?” Kagome asks curiously.

-“Hanyou, exactly. Shippou is a full youkai.”

-“It's evident, “The Silver Hanyou”. But what is his true name?”

-“Nobody knows. He gets really mad if someone asks him.”

Kagome looked frustrated.

-“Why is he so cruel?”

Miroku laughs. Kagome eyes him.

-“What?”

-“Well, one, you argued with him. He thinks he's a king. Will you argue with a king?”

-“I suppose not.” She looked to the sunset.

-“As long you don't argue with him, he'll treat you better. He's not that bad as long as you get on his good side.”

-“But I am defending myself! I don't want to be his pet dog that he commands to sit or rollover!”

-“Were you always so stubborn?

-“I think so. I think I inherited it from my father. He is much stubborn and selfish than me. He even wanted that I married with someone I didn't love, just to bring “benefits” to the family. I prefer not to think about that.”

Miroku watched her as her hair blew in her face as she began to work again, then without a fear he asked:

-“Kagome-sama?”

-“What?”

He took her hands.

-“I will ask you again: Will you bear my child?”

Even the Captain heard the slap she gave him.

-“That stupid pervert! He never learns!” he grumbled.

The Captain marched out of his quarters to find Kagome hard at work and Miroku on the ground with a huge hand print on his cheek.

-`I was somehow waiting him to ask her again,' he thought with a smile.

At least Kagome looked peaceful, although she was in undergarments. He growled at himself for having a tingling feeling when he saw her hair blowing in the breeze with the setting sun.

-“Wench! You better work faster! Your time is almost up!”

Somehow he felt relief that she didn't glare at him. He huffed and went in his quarters. After he went inside, she stuck her tongue out in his direction and continued to work.

 

XXXXXXXXXX

 

The Captain came out to find Kagome sprawled on the deck, half-asleep. He gently kicked Kagome in the side.

-“Get on your feet, Wench!” he yelled.

She moaned and lethargically stood up. Her eyes were heavy and bloodshot and her hands were waterlogged, blustered in some places. Kagome shoot him a look and he smiled. The Captain grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.

-“You look at me when I'm speaking to you! It's inspection time.”

Kagome groaned and almost fell. He grabbed her by the v-neck of her bodice. She smacked his hand.

-“I see that I caught your attention,” he grinned.

He grabbed the back of her bodice as he pushed her up the stairs. She was almost awake, but not quite. After about a half hour of inspection, the Captain smiled.

-“Looks like you know how to clean! But that doesn't get you off for this morning!”

Kagome looked horrified.

-“What are you going to do?”

He looked her up and down rubbing his chin. She had a lump in her throat.

-“I'd have you sleep with me, but you are too dirty and smelly.”

She trembled.

-“I wouldn't go to bed with you anyway! I'm a decent woman and I'm too young!”

-“Oh? How old are you?”

-“16!”

He smiled at her. She couldn't move because he held her arm, his claws diggind into her. He said:

-“You aren't too young! You're about right!”

-“You awful pervert!”

-“No, Miroku is a pervert, I'm a…”

-“Please don't say it.”

-“Please? Did I just hear “please”?”

She didn't know how to react. He said:

-“I was going to make you sleep in the hold tonight, but I guess you can sleep where you did last night.”

-“Isn't that the hold?”

-“No. The hold on my ship is pitch black. No light shines in it.”

He jerked her as they swiftly walked into the belly of the ship. He threw her down.

-“Sleep now! You have more work tomorrow!”

With that he walked off, quite satisfied with himself. Kagome curled up in a ball and cried herself to sleep.
