InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Pirates of the Caribbean - InuYasha Style ❯ Chapter 2 - Into the Sea ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Pirates of the Caribbean. (Though I have tried…)

 

Att3nt10n D3f1c1t M3GG0:Thank you for the review. And yea, the first few chapters will be like the movie I guess. I have to watch a part, type, watch it again, and type. In fact, if I could find a script it would really help. I'll work on adding voice and making who's speaking less confusing! Once more, thank you for the review. I love criticism, especially the good constructive kind you gave. (Bows)

 

And at the end of the last chapter I said `Youkai' meant `Pirate'. Sorry. I had a blond moment (No offense meant to anyone!). `Youkai' means `Demon'.

 

Pirates of the Caribbean - InuYasha Style

Chapter 2:

 

Kagome let her eyes slide closed for a moment battling her corset for breath. One hand placed over her middle, the other clutched a fan, which she waved violently in attempts to cool herself off. “Oh look at Commodore Hojou Miss Swan!” The young woman to her right swooned as Hojou brandished his new blade. The woman lowered her voice, “He truly is handsome don't you think?”

 

“Sure,” Kagome muttered fixating her eyes on her father who had just pinned a metal to Hojou's jacket. Hojou bowed to the audience, brandished his sword once again, and then returned it to the sheath at his hip. The spectators - all higher-ups on the ladder of rank - erupted with applause. Kagome clapped as well, rolling her eyes. Seems like a show-off to me…

 

The young woman winced and her clapping ceased momentarily. Kagome fought to keep her smile in place as she struggled for breath. She found herself sweating beneath the intense blaze of the sun. I'll never wear one of these stupid things again. She thought grimly.

 

<><><><>

 

“I can hear their clapping from here, Ginta.” The wolf youkai said to his companion.

 

“Yea, Hakkaku, humans can be loud too I guess.” The other added with a shrug of his shoulders. The two shared very similar features; the only difference being the first one had spiked white hair while the other's hair was more laid back and had only black and gray. (A/n there. You know what they look like.)

 

The hanyou's ears twitched beneath his cap. His golden hues looked the two wolf youkai over quickly as his nonchalant walk ended and he stopped before the two. Ginta and Hakkaku were immediately alert. “This dock is off-limits to civilians!” Hakkaku stated.

 

Inuyasha raised a brow. “Keh, guess I didn't know.” His ear twitched again catching the sound of music from the fort. “Something going on up there? How come you two weren't invited?”

 

“Someone has to watch the dock,” Ginta said after a slight pause. Inuyasha cast his gaze to the boat alongside the dock.

 

“Then I guess this boat is pretty important.”

 

“Ship,” Hakkaku corrected.

 

Inuyasha nodded. “Yea, a ship.”

 

Ginta grinned knowingly. “Captain Hojou has made it his flagship. He'll use it to get the last of those pirates.”

 

“Commodore Hojou,” Hakkaku corrected him.

 

“Right. Commodore Hojou,” Ginta nodded.

 

Inuyasha continued to look at the ship the words SHIKON NO TAMA engraved on its side. “That's a fine goal, but it seems that ship over there makes this one seem a bit unnecessary.” He said indicating the larger ship farther off.

 

Ginta laughed softly. “That's the Hiraikotsu. It has power, but the Shikon is has more speed then any other ship.”

 

“Really?” The hanyou said with feigned surprise. “I've heard of one. Said to uncatchable. The Tetsusaiga.”

 

The two wolves exchange glances. Ginta scoffed. “No real ship anyway.”

 

“The Tetsusaiga is a real ship,” Hakkaku interjected.

 

Ginta turned to look at him. “No, it's not.”

 

“Hai, it is. I've seen it!”

 

“Yea, you've seen it?”

 

“Yes!” Hakkaku stated with determination.

 

Ginta rolled his eyes. “You've seen the Tetsusaiga?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“No you haven't.”

 

“Yes I have.”

 

“You've seen a ship crewed by cursed youkai and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?”

 

Hakkaku frowned. “…No.”

 

“No,” Ginta confirmed.

 

“But I did see a ship that had black sails.”

 

“Oh, and no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out could possibly any ship other than the Tetsusaiga. Is that what you are trying to say?”

 

Clearly confused the wolf youkai continued to frown. He shook his head a bit. “…No.”

 

“Baka.” Ginta turned back to face Inuyasha with a proud grin. “Like I said, no real ship can match the Shikon no Tama for- Hey!” The wolves blinked in surprise searching for the missing hanyou.

 

“There he is!” Hakkaku cried pointing to the silver-haired man at the wheel of the Shikon no Tama. “Hurry up!” The two raced up the gangplank battling each other to be in front until they stopped before Inuyasha poised to strike.

 

“Hey you! Get away from that!” Ginta growled.

 

Inuyasha looked at them innocently as he straightened the cap askew atop his head. “Keh, sorry. It's just such a pretty boat. Ship.” He corrected himself before Hakkaku could. The wolves exchanged glances again, studying him closely.

 

“What's your name?” One of them questioned.

 

“Sparrow,” The hanyou answered, “Or Jack if you want.”

 

Ginta looked him over again. “Why are you here Mr. Sparrow?”

 

“And don't lie!” Hakkaku added.

 

Inuyasha, who had been fiddling with the wheel of the Shikon, put his hands in the air with a defeated look. “I confess. I'm here to steal one of these ships, get a good crew, and then do a bit of pirating.”

 

Hakkaku glared. “I said don't lie.”

 

“I don't think he's lying,” Ginta murmured.

 

“He's lying.”

 

“He isn't lying!”

 

“If he were telling the truth he wouldn't have told us!” Hakkaku stated.

 

“Unless he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you,” InuYasha interrupted, his patience running out. The two youkai exchanged glances again.

Kagome wondered about almost bewildered in the mass of talking people. She moved to stand within the little shading an awning offered from the severe heat of the sun. She continued to fan herself. “May I have a moment?” Hojou's voice from behind nearly made her jump. Slipping her happy façade in place, the raven-haired woman turned around to face him.

 

“Of course Commodore Hojou,” Kagome said in the most pleasant voice she could muster. Hojou grinned outstretching a hand to her, which Kagome took. She allowed him to lead her away from the music and cheer towards a parapet overlooking the tropical Caribbean waters. An uncomfortable silence followed.

 

“You look beautiful,” Hojou said finally. Kagome winced again, frowning for a moment. “Gomen nasai, if I seem forward,” He apologized taking the frown for disapproval. “But I must speak my mind.”

 

Kagome stood next to the low wall staring out over the ocean and pretending to listen as Hojou continued. “I have finally accomplished what I had set forth to in my career. But what I have not accomplished is what all men require. A marriage to a fine woman,” He paused, “You have become a very fine woman, Kagome.”

 

Kagome felt dizzy. She failed to focus on Hojou - or anything else for that matter. The fan she held in hand fell. “I can't breathe.” She gasped. I… can't… breathe! If I could just get his stupid thing off…

 

Hojou - oblivious to Kagome's problems - smiled nervously. “I am a bit nervous myself.”

 

The young woman stumbled forward. She reached forward to steady herself but her foot hit the wall and she toppled over. Gone. Kagome screamed and with the sudden intake of breath pain shot through her.

 

“KAGOME!” Hojou yelled racing forward. He began to throw his jacket off and plunge into the sea below himself to save her. A hand gripped his shoulder, stopping him.

 

“Commodore, the rocks. It's a miracle Miss swan missed them!” A soldier cried. Hojou leapt from the edge of the wall, and took off.

“That's when I shoved that bastard Naraku right off the deck and-” Inuyasha stopped in the middle of his story. He inwardly winced as a shrill scream pierced the air. Hakkaku and Ginta watched in horror as a woman plummeted into the sea. The three were at their feet and to the edge of the ship at once.

 

Narrowly missing a group of jagged rocks, the woman hits the water. She struggled feebly against the waves as they carried her out to sea.

 

“You going to save her?” Inuyasha asked looking to Ginta.

 

“I can't swim,” the wolf said. “And neither can Hakkaku.”

 

With a roll of his eyes Inuyasha's golden hues looked up to where a mass of soldiers were working their waves slowly down the set off cliffs to rescue the young woman. He growled as she sunk beneath the surface. What kind of soldiers were these? “Damn it. I'll do it then,” The hanyou scowled.

 

He unbuckled his belt and shoved it into Ginta's hands. “Don't you dare lose those,” he said, his voice laced with the silent warning. Tossing his hat to Hakkaku, Inuyasha leapt on to the edge of the deck and made a graceful dive into the churning water. He swam expertly towards the location where she had disappeared beneath the waves.

 

Kagome, unconscious, hit the bottom. A cloud of sand billowed about her for a few moments before settling back down. The medallion about her neck comes loose from her bodice. It floated upwards a bit glinting in the rays of the sun. The skull engraved on it faced upward as well.

 

Above the sea the wind, calm and blowing from the land to sea, changed without warning. It picked up speed and blew violently from the sea to land. A dog that had been poking at a shell on the beach with his snout commenced in whining and leaping about making his way away from the seashore. Fog was forming.

 

Hojou continued to rush forward towards the docks, determined to save Kagome. He now struggled to run against the sudden wind, a group of soldiers following him obediently. She had to be alive.

 

<><><><>

 

Beneath the surface Inuyasha wrapped his arm around the young woman's waist and kicked off the ground. Desperate for a breath of air he swiped at her skirt with his claws furiously. The heaviest layer fell off making her considerably lighter. Kicking harder now the hanyou emerged from the water.

 

(A/n It gets a little different here before returning to normal.)

 

He mentally cursed unable to see the dock. The waves were growing taller. With a small growl Inuyasha thrust forward towards the wall of the cliff with Kagome still slung over his shoulder. He kicked harder despite his legs screams for mercy. About to give himself up to the waves, he spotted a small alcove in the cliff. With a newfound source of energy, Inuyasha swam towards it.

 

He heaved the young woman onto a patch of sand hidden by the cove. The hanyou pulled himself on top of it, but didn't bother to rest. He turned his attention to the woman and made a clean swipe down her front. Sliced as easily as if it had been paper, the corset ripped open.

 

Suddenly awake Kagome coughed up a large amount of water. She gasped welcoming the air that filled her lungs unaware of the half demon that was staring at her.

 

“No…” Inuyasha muttered softly. This can't be her… Kikyou died. He moved forward and Kagome became suddenly aware of him.

 

“Get away!” She screamed trying to cover herself from his intense gaze. Her chocolate orbs met with his golden depths and she froze. Please… someone… help me.

 

How could he have missed it before? They could be twins! Maybe they were? Oblivious to the gale and choppy seas the hanyou hovered inches above her. No. This was Kikyou. It had to be her. “Kikyou,” He murmured softly closing his eyes and closing the gap between them.

 

Kagome panicked. She placed her hands on his chest and shoved him backwards, moving to huddle against the wall of rock. The young man shook his head and scowled returning to his senses. “What a way to thank your rescuer!”

 

“My rescuer?” She muttered before her gaze hardened. “You were trying to take advantage of me!”

 

“Keh, like hell I was! I've been all over the world and you're the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!”

 

That stung. Kagome glared at him. “Well then thank you for saving me. Now could you take me back to… wherever my father is?”

 

Inuyasha returned her glare. “Whatever.” He stood up. “Hurry up, looks like a bad storm is coming in.”

 

“Right.” Kagome stood up. The hanyou turned back around to get one last look at her and frowned, spotting the gold coin around her neck.

 

“Where did you get that?”

 

The young woman wrapped her hand around it quickly. “No where. Let's go.”

 

Inuyasha nodded and knelt down. He waited a few moments before growing impatient. “Well? Get on!”

 

“O- Oh!” Kagome blushed and got on his back feeling uncomfortable. Her blush deepened when he took hold of her legs to get a better hold. Shifting Kagome slightly the hanyou leapt into the air. He took to the cliff wall using the small pieces of rock that jutted out to move on his way. Kagome squeaked at the onrush of wind and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck pausing for a moment to marvel at his hair.

 

Landing easily on the dock Inuyasha relinquished his hold on Kagome and let her slide from his back. By now soldiers surround them. Kagome, spotting her father, rushed over to him. Mr. Higurashi smiled in relief. Becoming aware of his daughter's state of dress, the man promptly took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.

 

Inuyasha's ocher hues narrowed at the soldiers surrounding him, all had their swords drawn and pointed at him. One, apparently the leader, stepped forward. He eyed the hanyou suspiciously and finally offered his hand. “I believe thanks are in order.”

 

“Keh.” Inuyasha offered took Hojou's hand. Hojou tightened his grip on Inuyasha's hand and ripped the hanyou's sleeve back revealing a `P'.

 

“Had a brush with the East India Trading Company I see, pirate.” Hojou ripped more of the sleeve back and smirked. Above the `P' was a tattoo of a large sword looking remarkably like a fang. “Well, well, Inuyasha isn't it?”

 

“Captain Inuyasha, please.”

 

“I don't see your ship.” Hojou commented.

 

“I'm currently looking for one.”

 

Ginta looked at Hakkaku. “You were right. He was telling the truth.” Hakkaku, still holding Inuyasha's things, handed them to Commodore Hojou. “These are his.”

 

Hojou picked up the pistol first and looked it over. “Extra powder, but only one shot.” Inuyasha shrugged. Hojou picked up the compass next and, holding it level to the ground, moved it about a bit. “A compass that doesn't point north.” The hanyou glanced down, somewhat embarrassed. Lastly Hojou drew the blade halfway from its sheath. “And I half-expected it to be made of wood.” He hands the things back to Hakkaku.

 

“So with you, you have a pistol with one shot, a rusty blade, a compass that doesn't point north, and no ship. You are without doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of.”

 

Inuyasha raised his hand. “But you have heard of me.” Despite herself, Kagome failed to contain a giggle. She received a raised brow from the hanyou and a frown from her father.

 

“Quiet Kagome,” Mr. Higurashi muttered.
