She stared out at the sea, into the impenetrable wall of fog. Raven hair was whipped back from her face by the salty sea breeze. "Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me, yo ho, yo ho, it's a pirates life for me..." She sang softly.

"That will be enough, Kagome." The young girl turned around, her singing ceased.

"Gomen." Kagome said with a slight bow of the head.

"That song, about pirates?" He said smoothly taking a step before her. She nodded. "Disgusting creatures. Lowly filth, untrustworthy. They'd steal your nose right off your face. Especially youkai pirates."

"That's enough Hojou." A voice said as a man's figure stepped into view. Kagome immediately turned her attention to her father.

"It's alright father, I actually find the subject of pirates interesting." She said after a long pause filled with only the sound of waves hitting the ship they were on.

"I know." Her father said, "that's what scares me." With that he walked off. The young Kagome nodded to Hojou and took to the other side of the boat, leaning against the rail and staring into the inky waves. She blinked, an umbrella bobbing just above the waves. Kagome’s chocolate hues widened. A boy was in the water, unconscious on a large piece of wood!

"Look! A boy!" She yelled pointing. "A boy in the water!" Men rushed to the edge of the boat, a cry of 'Man overboard' was heard.

"Fetch a hook!" Someone yelled. "Haul him out of there!" After a few stressed moments he was dragged onboard.

Everyone's attention had already been turned to something else. A large trading vessel, alight in flames and sinking into the blackness of the sea.

"Pirates." Hojou spat his abhorrence for them showing clearly on his face.

"Now we don't know that yet." Kagome's father said with doubt.

Kagome looked down at the boy. He was around her age, a bit older. Long ebony hair fell around his shoulders. She reached forward timidly, brushing a lock of hair away from the side of his face and gasped. "A youkai..." she murmured seeing his ears, narrower then a human’s and pointed at the tips.

His hand shot out, gripping her arm. "It's alright." Kagome said softly and he released his hold, struggling to keep his head held up. "We saved you. My name is Kagome Higurashi."

"Kouga." He managed to choke out before falling unconscious once more. Looking down at him now, she spotted a chain around his neck. Reaching forward she took hold of it, a strange gold coin attached to it. Holding it in her hand she frowned at the markings it held. "A pirate..." Carefully, she lifted it over his head.

"Has he said anything?" The sound of her father's voice from behind made her jump. Kagome whirled around, clutching the strange medallion behind her back.

"His name is Kouga. That's all I found out."

"Very good." He walked away from her, watching as boats of his crew went out to look for survivors. Kagome took this time to sneak off to the stern of the ship. She examined the golden coin carefully. The wind picked up, and she glanced up. Her mouth opened in a silent scream. Not far off in the fog was a ship.

A ship with black sails. Too scared to cry out or run Kagome squeezed her eyes shut tight. Oh kami-sama!

<><><><>8 years later...<><><><>

Chocolate orbs snapped open. The young woman sat up, glancing around her dark bedroom. No sea, no ship. She let out a sigh of relief shaking her head back and forth slowly. A dream... she thought idly. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, the sensation of someone watching her settled in. Raising her courage, Kagome whipped around. She was alone.

The raven-haired woman stood up, turning up the flame on her lamp and then turning to stand before a table with three small drawers. Opening the top one, she reached her hand into the back of the drawer and lifted up a false floor. Timidly, her other hand reached in and picked up a gold medallion. Kagome wiped her thumb across it, wiping away dust to reveal a still shining, golden surface. Idly she slipped it over her head, straightening it around her neck. A knock at her door made her jump.

"Kagome?" Her father's voice came muffled through the door. "May I come in?"

"Y- Yes!" Kagome stuttered grabbing a gown quickly and pulling it on violently. She buttoned it quickly, hastily tucking the coin into her dress front and out of view. Just in time. The door opened revealing her smiling father. He entered, followed by a maid with a large box.

"Still in bed?" He inquired jokingly. "It's a great day!" The maid nodded and smiled to agree. She sat the box down for a moment and moved to Kagome's window, opening it.

The sight was what many could only describe as breath taking. The large, bustling town along the shore, sky a rich blue, and a ways off on top of a bluff sat the fort, outer walls lined with cannons. "Now! I brought a present for you!"

Mr. Higurashi picked up the box, taking off its lid with little difficulty. Kagome gasped, taking hold of the gown inside. It was beautiful blue velvet! "It's gorgeous..." She said regaining her voice and smiling to her father. "But, what's the occasion?" She asked as he let on a sly grin.

"Does a father need and occasion to give his favorite daughter a gift?"

Kagome smiled, giving him a quick hug before disappearing behind a screen. The maid followed. She began to change. "Though I was hoping you would wear it today... for the ceremony..." Mr. Higurashi said casually picking up a trinket fro ma small shelf in the room.

"Ceremony?" Kagome asked quizzically from behind the screen.

"Captain Hojou's promotion ceremony."

"I knew it!"

"Or actually, Commodore Hojou... a fine gentlemen don't you think?" Kagome didn't answer. "He fancies you..." He was startled when his daughter gasped from behind the dressing screen. "Kagome... are you alright?"

Kagome gritted her teeth together as she lifted her raven locks and the medallion out of the way. The maid had a foot placed on Kagome's back, grunting a bit as she struggled to pull the strings of Kagome's corset tighter. "Complicated..." She wheezed.

"I'm told that dress is the latest fashion in London." He commented, hoping it would help her somehow.

"The women in London must not need to breathe!” Kagome hissed. The maid finished, and Kagome let out a sigh of relief. She stepped out from behind the screen, her father smiling in admiration of her.

A young butler said appeared in the doorway. "Governor, you have a caller." Mr. Higurashi nodded.

<><><><>

"Mr. Kouga! Good to see you." Mr. Higurashi said cheerfully as he came down a set of stairs and entered his mansion's foyer. Kouga nodded, out of place in his rougher, rather un-fine clothing. The youkai gave a faint smile.

"I have your order." Kouga said holding out a narrow case. His midnight locks were pulled into a high ponytail, a brown headband around his forehead holding bangs back. Mr. Higurashi took the case, opened the lid and peered in with delight. He took hold of the sword in the case, examining it carefully and smiling with obvious approval.

"The blade is folded steel..." Kouga said offhandedly, "That's gold filigree laid into the handle. If I may?" The wolf youkai took the sword from Mr. Higurashi, and balanced it on his finger with a show-offy smirk. "Perfectly balanced."

"Very impressive!" Mr. Higurashi said beaming. "Commodore Hojou will be pleased! Please pass my compliments on to your master." Kouga's face fell. He'd work hard on the sword; only to have all that hard work passed off to the drunken fool he worked for. Effortlessly he flipped the sword around and caught it by the hilt then placed it back within the case.

"I will. A craftsmen is always happy to hear his work is appreciated..." Kouga stopped, his cobalt orbs sliding past Mr. Higurashi and landing on Kagome. She was standing on the stairs in a beautiful dress, returning his gaze with a warm, friendly smile. Mr. Higurashi followed Kouga’s stare, turned and smiled to his daughter.

"Kagome you look stunning!" He complimented honestly. She blushed lightly.

"Kouga!" She said cheerfully. "It's wonderful to see you again! I dreamt about you last night."

Kouga's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

"Kagome this is inappropriate-" She ignored him.

"About the day we met, do you remember?"

"I could never forget Miss Higurashi. It was the first time I saw you."

Kagome sighed, rolling her eyes. "Just Kagome! How many times do I need to tell you?"

"Always once more." Her face fell slightly at Kouga's response.

"Well said!" Kagome’s father commented stepping in. He nodded to Kouga and then turned to Kagome. "Now, we must be off."

Her father grabbed the case as Kagome gathered her skits and walked past Kouga, out the door. "Good Day Mr. Kouga." Mr. Higurashi said as he followed his daughter.

"Yea... good day." Kouga said, staring after Kagome's retreating form. He watched her climb into a carriage. "Kagome..."

The carriage went over a bump, making Kagome grumble. She vaguely listened as her father droned on and on about her inappropriate behavior toward Kouga. They were friends! Couldn't her father accept that?

The skeletons of three pirates hung beneath a rock outcropping. A sign hung beside them bearing the message: Pirates Ye Be Warned. A boat passed by them, a young man standing easily on top of the sail. He raised a brow at the warning, and then smirking he took off his pirates cap and placed it over his heart in a silent salute. Returning the hat to his head, the young man leapt from the top of the sail down into his boat. He grabbed a bucket, and began scooping water from it.

His clothes were rough and dirty, skin darkly tanned. Messy silver hair fell unevenly to his rump, the pirate hat on his head a bit askew. A long, rusty dagger was strapped to his belt along with a pistol in fairly bad shape. He was a hanyou. Golden eyes turned to gaze at the land not far off. Dropping the bucket he took one easy leap into the air, returning to his post at the top of the sail.

His ship sunk slowly as it neared the dock, and when he did reach it, he simply stepped off the top of the sail, now even with the dock. Taking a moment to examine his surroundings he spotted a medium sized ship. It was sleek and definitely fast. With that he began to make his way toward it, boots thumping against the wooden boards beneath him. "Hey!" An older man called walking up to him. "It's a shilling to tie up a boat! And I'll need your name too."

"How about three shillings and we forget the name?" The hanyou said coolly tossing him three coins. Satisfied, the man turned and went about his business. With a smirk, the silver-haired man passed by the workingman's table, but not before grabbing the bag of coins sitting atop it. "Baka..." He murmured.

I hope nothing confused you. I also apologize for any OOCness with Kouga and perhaps Kagome. I hate Hojou, so I don’t care how out of character he gets. I also apologize for any tense switching. I tried to make it all the same, but some is in present tense etc.

I can’t wait until Sesshoumaru comes in! Hurray! Hurrah!

This is Inu/Kag! Meaning, yes, I will make changes to the plotline of the movie. I’m not 100% sure yet, but I’ll probably make the curse on the pirates being that they are human. Besides, a human Sesshoumaru is wicked hot. That’s right, I went there. Review if you hated it. Review if you liked it. Just… well… review! Sorry the chapter was short.

Baka: Idiot
Kami-sama: God
Hanyou: Half demon
Youkai: Pirate
Gomen: Sorry
