InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Pirates of the Caribbean - InuYasha Style ❯ Chapter 3 - Escape and Fight ( Chapter 3 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Pirates of the Caribbean. (But I'd fight with my trusty chainsaw to get them!)
All right. YES. I did notice that I called Kagome “Miss Swan” once, and that was an accident. I had to rush off to basketball though so I had no time to fix it. But I intentionally called Inuyasha “Jack Sparrow”.
At the part in the movie where Jack Sparrow is on the ship he tells the guards when they ask his name: “Smith, or Smithy if you will.” It's a fake name. So Inuyasha's fake name was Jack Sparrow. Sorry if it was confusing. I was reading the reviews and actually got mad because everyone mentioned I did it and no one got it. Then again I have seen the movie a bazillion times. Heh.
And ALSO! The Tetsusaiga is the ship, remember? Not the rusty blade. Sorry for the confusion there.
Pirates of the Caribbean - InuYasha Style
Chapter 3:
Hojou scowled, nodding to a soldier who disappeared only to return moments later with manacles. The soldier took timid steps towards the half demon wearily. “Be careful, don't know what this half breed is capable of,” Hojou warned. The soldiers became more alert at the statement. The one with the shackles held his breath and snapped the manacles closed on Inuyasha's wrists.
“You can't do this!” Kagome cried surprising everyone. Her father's jacket slipped off, but she paid it no mind. Though a few soldiers' hungry gazes swept up and down her form.
“And why not?” Commodore Hojou demanded forcing to keep his anger from leaking into his voice.
“Pirate or not, he saved my life,” The raven-haired woman stated. If she allowed them to kill him, she'd never be able to live with herself. What would she tell her friends? `A man saved my life, then I watched him get executed without saying a word in his defense!'
“One good deed, no matter how great, is enough to redeem this man,” Mr. Higurashi said holding his jacket, intent on slipping it back over Kagome.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He'd been doing that a lot lately it seemed. “Enough to condemn him though.”
Hojou shot him a poisoned look. “Indeed.” He nodded to his men and all but one put away their weapons. Two more stepped forward with another nod from Hojou. A smirk played over the hanyou's lips.
“Keh, about time.” With lightning speed Inuyasha kicked the gun from the man's hands. He turned, making a quick leap in the air, and landing behind Kagome. She screamed, the chain from his shackles wrapped about her throat. He gave a small jerk and she fell silent, pleading eyes looking from her father to Hojou. Hadn't this man just saved her life?
The men whipped out their weapons, but not in time. Mr. Higurashi was waving his hand around. “Don't shoot!”
“Now, my pistol and belt,” Inuyasha said nodding to them. Hojou grit his teeth. “Hurry up, wouldn't want your precious woman to die would you?” Hojou held the things out for Inuyasha.
“Kagome,” his ears twitched beneath his cap, “It is Kagome, ne?”
She glowered. “Miss Higurashi to you.”
“Miss Higurashi, then. If you'd be so kind.”
Her eyes widened in realization. He wants me to put his belt on him! Like hell I will! “No,” Kagome growled.
Inuyasha, taken aback by her refusal, just sighed. “You really want to die so young?” He questioned.
“Onegai, Kagome. Just do it.” Her father begged. Biting her lower lip, Kagome took the belt. Inuyasha spun her around to face him. Gritting her teeth, she worked.
“You're horrible,” She whispered jerking the belt on securely.
“I saved you, now you're saving me,” Inuyasha whispered back. He couldn't stand looking at her. She looks so much like Kikyou… Inuyasha took another step back only to find he'd reached the end of the dock. He inwardly cursed. “Gentlemen… milady… You shall remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Inuyasha!” (A/n: Alas, so tempted to put `Captain Silver Hanyou' that was a great story.)
Quicker then when he had grabbed her, Inuyasha lifted his chain from her neck and shoved Kagome away. With a hiss she landed on the dock. The hanyou turned searching frantically for some means of escape. He spotted the cliff wall not far off, and found it his best route. “So long!” He called leaping into the air. If the cliff had been just an inch further, he would not have made it, but luckily, it wasn't. His foot landed expertly on a small overhang.
Hojou came out of shock. “What are you waiting for? SHOOT HIM!” The soldiers' brains clicked and they began firing shots in the general direction of the retreating hanyou. “Are you all right Kagome?” Hojou asked kneeling beside her.
“Yes, just get him,” The young woman said. Her father helped her to stand and tossed his jacket about her shoulders. He pulled her into a tight embrace. She shuddered. The wind was picking up.
<><><><>
“You can do better than that!” Inuyasha hollered to the soldiers pursuing him. A shot whizzed by his shoulder. He blinked, and sped up. Leaving the cliff he entered the town. With only a few seconds out of their site, he leapt on to a roof and dropped down a chimney. Which - he found - he fit down quite nicely. Better not be a damn fire going. The half demon thought irritably. All he'd wanted was a ship. Not this.
Slipping out of the chimney he kicked the soot off his boot. Taking a quick survey of the place he had chosen to take refuge in, it seemed to be a blacksmith's forge. It was dark, a few rays of the sun streaming in through cracks in the boarded-up windows. Unfinished work was scattered around a furnace in the center of the room. Catching the scent of a human, Inuyasha looked around until he spotted a rather fat - if not obese- man in the corner.
The scent of cheap liquor also invaded his senses. Walking silently over to the human, Inuyasha gave him a hard tap. The man did not stir. Now he flicked him hard in the head. Satisfied when the man did not move, Inuyasha turned his back and walked to the forge. Now I just need to get rid of these damn chains.
He smiled at his own cleverness as he neared the furnace. Inuyasha knelt beside it. He grimaced as the flames began to redden the iron manacles burning his skin in the process. Once they were bright red, and a great deal softer, Inuyasha gave them a mighty jerk and they broke. He tossed the discarded handcuffs away. The main door began to open and Inuyasha growled. He leapt into a pile of straw.
Kouga sighed closing the door behind him. He shook his head, glancing around. The corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk seeing the one he worked under still in a drunken slumber in the corner of the room. “Right where I left you,” He murmured. Tossing his jacket in the corner, Kouga frowned. Was that… dog he smelled? “Alright, mutt, come out and I won't kill you.”
Inuyasha remained still beneath the pile of straw. He clenched his hands into fits. This was no human. This was a wolf-youkai.
Kouga took another sniff at the air. That's not a dog… “All right. Whoever the hell you are, come out. Now.”
“Ah, shut the hell up!” Inuyasha yelled standing. The straw fell off of him. “Here I thought you were some kind of threat. You're just a low, flea-bitten wolf.”
“You're the one they're looking for!” Kouga hissed. “The pirate.”
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Am I really?” He cocked his head the side. “You look familiar. Have I threatened you before?”
“I don't associate with scum,” The wolf spat.
“Then you wouldn't want to put a mark on your record,” Inuyasha said with a nod. “I'll be off then.”
Kouga leapt in front of him. “You threatened Kagome.”
Inuyasha flashed Kouga a grin. So this wolf had a soft spot for that spoiled brat? “I did more than threaten her,” The hanyou smirked. Kouga bared his fangs and took on a fighting stance. Inuyasha yawned. “You plan to fight me?”
“No,” Kouga said, “I plan on killing you!” He moved forward quickly. Inuyasha evaded, taking a quick step to his right. The wolf's claws struck his ragged jacket. A growled rumbled from the hanyou's throat unhappy to see the wolf was fast.
“You'll regret that,” Inuyasha threatened lunging with his claws outstretched. Kouga darted beneath him as Inuyasha was in the air. The wolf skidded to a stop and turned, slamming Inuyasha in the back as the half demon came to land. “Damn.” He hissed whirling around and slashing at Kouga.
“That the best you have?” Kouga asked stepping back to avoid getting hit. He smirked. “Oh, I forgot. You're just a half demon.” With that he lunged forward knocking Inuyasha's hat off. Two, snowy white triangular eras sat on top of his head. Inuyasha was seething.
“You bastard!” Inuyasha's elbow dug into Kouga's gut. Blood spilled form the wolf's mouth. Kouga howled jumping at Inuyasha and pinning him to the ground. The half demon frowned, uncomfortable with the wolf on top of him. “Gomen, but I don't swing that way,” He growled shoving Kouga off.
The two stood, panting. “I'll be off now,” Inuyasha said heading for the door. “I've wasted enough time here.”
“No!” Kouga wiped the blood from his face and jumped in front of Inuyasha again. “You won't escape.”
Wit ha roll of his ocher hues, Inuyasha pulled the pistol form his waist and aimed it between Kouga's eyes. “Move,” he breathed.
Kouga took a small step back. “You cheated.”
“Pirate,” Inuyasha said as an excuse taking a step forward. Kouga moved backwards, fully blocking the door. The half demon growled. “Move.”
“No.”
“Move,” He demanded more forcefully.
“No. I won't let you escape.”
“This shot isn't meant for you,” Inuyasha said lowering the gun slightly. Kouga winced as glass shattered against the hanyou's head. Inuyasha's eyes rolled back into his head, and he passed out.
“Sir.” Kouga said looking at the drunken blacksmith. The door crashed down and soldiers flooded the room, Hojou in front.
“Excellent work!” Hojou said.
“Just doin' my civic duty,” the man slurred. Inuyasha groaned in pain. “Pirate broke m' bottle.” The soldiers heaved Inuyasha off the ground and began hauling him away. Kouga stood frozen to the spot, watching them go.

Kagome frowned slightly staring up at the night sky outside her home. The fog was heavy and the air held a strange chill to it she had never felt before. She clutched her father's jacket more tightly around her. The city was alight in an eerie glow. It was almost surreal. Her eyes wondered to the fort.
Hojou is probably there right now. Kagome thought. She sighed. Please, Kami-sama, I don't ask much. Just please…convince Father I can't marry that man. She entered the house.
She waved her hand in the air as a maid tried to follow her upstairs. “I can dress myself,” The raven-haired woman declared. She entered her bedrooms and striped out of her salt-riddled clothes. After a quick bath she slipped into a nightdress and hopped into bed pulling the covers over herself.
The golden medallion was still strung about her neck. “Goodnight,” she whispered to no one and fell asleep.
<><><><>
A large ship cut its way speedily through the inky waves. It made its way stealthily towards the city. The location from where the medallion called. Large black sails were pushed by the wind. A black flag waved fiercely. Etched deeply into the wood on the side of the ship was one word. TETSUSAIGA.
On the bow of the ship, foot resting on the railing, a tall man's icy gaze fell upon the city. His obsidian eyes were hard. Log tendrils of ebony hair were danced on the same wind that pushed the ship forward. He folded his arms across his chest. All he needed was that one coin, and the blood of one man, and the curse would be broken.
“Something wrong, milord?” A tiny man squeaked from behind him. “Is the medallion really there?”
“Jaken,” The taller man said sharply ignoring the questions. “Get them ready to attack.”
H- Hai Sesshoumaru-sama,” Jaken bowed. He scurried away to rouse the sleeping pirates.
