InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Golden Age ❯ Betrayal Can Lead To Revenge ( Chapter 1 )

A/N: Ahoy there mattes, starting yet another story. The facts that I found to use for the story I have tweaked. I am not an expert on the cities pirates plundered or the places or who ruled at the time. I apologize but I have been doing research on the idea and well I wanted to give this a shot. Also I saw some pirate movies that inspired me. Pay attention to the dates because we are not staying in this one time frame for long.

Disclaimer: No matter how hard I try Inuyasha will never be mine.

The Golden Age

Chapter 1: Betrayal Can Lead To Revenge

1654 Trinidad

The streets were crowded with people. Some in the slave market others purchasing goods. The farmers had a good crop that year and the city seemed to be at peace. Young children ran around playing games. The bells in the town had sounded awhile ago signaling to the Dockers that another ship had arrived. Around the palace gates people were stationed and out in the front sat two young children playing a game of stick ball.

"Oh no you don't it's my turn to get it in the cup!" The young girl with pigtails stomped and pouted. "Let me hit it." The older little rascal seemed to ignore the little girl pleas of injustice and continued trying to hit it. "Inuyasha it's my turn you had yours already."

"Kagome let the man take care of the job." He replied casually. His parents had wondered about him. For his age he was very cocky and arrogant. Inuyasha was eleven and Kagome was ten. King Tashio had bought Kagome at the slave market when she was five. He figured later on in life she would serve loyal for his greatness. He let the two play but at times would force Kagome to work or use some discipline on her. She seemed just as wild and untamed like his son.

He observed the two children in the front yard. That was not the only reason he wanted Kagome. It was said that she had lived and was given the map that so many blood thirsty buccaneers wanted. Her parents were known pirates throughout all the cities and it was said that before they were hanged that they have given half of the map to their youngest daughter. He had tried approaching the subject with her a few times too. If he found the treasure it would bring great respect to his city but she would never talk. Always saying that she knew nothing of what he was talking about but her blue eyes always sparkled with mischief.

"Someday I will have that map." He mumbled to himself, thinking of ways to obtain it. He quickly tore his eyes off the children and returned back to his study, mapping out adventures. His eldest son, Sesshoumaru had already left. "The good for nothing won't ever settle back here." He had left and took five ships and over four hundred men with him. He had not heard of him for at least five months until he got word that he was off the coast of Madagascar. Quietly he set back to his financial records.

The palace was right outside the ocean. It was almost evening as the two children sat on the sand, exhausted from there little cat and mouse game. Inuyasha was a little too fast for the young girl. There was a ship out to sea over the horizon that she could barely make out. She smiled to herself. Her one secret that she had not told anyone lay in the palm of her hands. She was not stupid about this. Her parents she could vaguely remember handing her this pigskin that she kept so tightly locked away in her necklace that she never took off. Another gift they had left a locket which held some secrets of her past.

"Inuyasha do you think we'll be friends forever." She asked breaking the silence. He growled out of annoyance.

"I don't know. The only thing I'm sure of is that I'm not staying here the rest of my life." The young girl cocked her head to the side with the huh expression crossing her features. He smiled up at her. "It's a secret"

"Hey that's not fair. If you're going to say something finish it." She demanded very curious. Inuyasha really never opened up to her. "If you tell me you're secret I'll tell you mine." Maybe she could bargain with him.

"And what could you possibly have to tell me that I don't already know?" He smirked, swatting a mosquito that has flown over by them. Kagome trusted Inuyasha and being as naïve she was to trust a man she blurted it out.

"I have a treasure map." Quickly regretting her words, she put her hand over her mouth. One secret she wasn't supposed to be etched until she had her own boat and crew was just blown, but wasn't he her only friend? She could trust him, right?

"Please tell me a new one." Though the comment had took him off guard. Then again it wasn't unbelievable because everyone in the palace knew that she was the daughter of the Higurashi's some gruesome pirate gang. Though trying to picture the young girl with pigtails and a puffy dress the daughter of dangerous people was kind of hard.

"But it's true and if you promise not to tell anyone then I'll show you." Her voice was stern and she put her hand to her neck.

"Fine I promise" curiosity getting the best of him. Kagome believed him and pulled out her locket.

"It's inside here." He raised his eyebrows past his white bangs. He remembered his father speak of something like this. It would make his father so proud of him if he gave it to him so being an ignorant little boy he snatched it out of the innocent girl's hands and pried it open.

"Give it back Inuyasha."

"No, I want to see it." Kagome gulped if he wasn't going to give it back then she would take it. So doing the only thing that came to her mind she tackled and started to wrestle him for it.

"Get off of me Kagome." They each nagged at one another's hair until they heard the front doors open and saw footsteps above them.

"Hey Dad" Inuyasha said sheepily getting off of Kagome.

Before he could ask questions he noticed the locket and a piece of paper in the sand. "What is that?" He questioned leaning down to pick it up. Kagome noticed what was going on and jumped in to snatch it back. "You can't have it"

"It's a map dad." Inuyasha blurted out not realizing what he had just done to his only friend. Her big blue eyes bulged and kept switching back to both figures and a sly smile crept upon the elders face.

"I knew you had it all along, give it here!" He demanded stepping forward to grasp it. She hugged it close to her and before she could run away he snatched it out of her small hands.

"No you can't" She cried.

"Yes I can and for defying me Kagome I will send you back where you belong, the slave market. Come along Inuyasha dinner will be served. Guards have this girl taken away." There would be no sense in keeping her he reckoned because she would try and get the map back if she stayed there so the best way was to ship her away.

"But dad you can't do that" Inuyasha looked behind him to his friend who was refusing to be escorted off nicely. They grabbed her and Inuyasha went to go make a move but his father grabbed him by his neck. "You will never see that girl again and that's final." He pulled the boy along. He watched helplessly as his friend tried to squirm her way out of there holds before being taken away with her last ounce of breath, tears filled in her eyes

"Inuyasha you traitor you promised. I'll get you back." The guards dragged her away and Inuyasha watched he never meant to hurt his only friend, his best friend like that. He would help her someday if he could fine her but the words kept replaying in his head. This was probably the last time he was going to see his friend.

August 1665 Spitialfield

Kagome lay in her bedchambers, fiddling with her black buckle up boots that she had just stolen. At the age of twenty one going on twenty two in early December she reminisced about the past. After being sent back to the slave market she vowed to get the whole family back. She was bought by some low run family that worked her until she hit sixteen and ran away. She disguised herself as a male to get aboard and get sailor training and learned the life of a sailor. Her life was hell.

With the voyages she had done and some of the random islands she stopped at she decided to stay in Spitialfield for awhile taking some of her share that she had earned. There was a ball tonight that all women were supposed to attend if you got an invitation and being friends with one of the wealthier daughters of the city she got one. Sango had obviously put in a good word for her. She knew the girls that were invited would be searching for a man but her she would be busy ram sacking the place.

Sango was the only girl she trusted and it took awhile too but they hit it off finally and decided some day they would sail the ocean blue together but it meant that right now since Sango had a spot in the light that Kagome had to do all the dirty work. "Such a crime" she got up after hearing a knock at the door.

"Whose there" She called out and when she heard Sango's voice she quickly unlocked the door.

"I got you a dress. You like?" She held it up and Kagome only gulped. She hated dressing up. She was fine wearing raggy beat up clothes or once in awhile if she could get away her blood red pants and white shirt with the ruffles at the end but that was only for special occasions.

"Why must I wear that?" She cringed and Sango just frowned. "Don't be stupid Kagome, now hurry up and shove in cuz we have to leave in a few to make it there on time." Impatiently she tossed the dress at Kagome which she snatched and slipped into underneath it though she had on her red pants just incase she needed to quickly escape.

"See you look beautiful now let me quickly do your hair." Taking a brush out of her bag she quickly ran threw there was no time to get all the knots out and do a whole new do so she just ran it threw a few times until it looked flat and they quickly left. It was a good thing the dress was longer than Kagome's feet since the only shoes she was going to wear was her new black boots.

The carriage was waiting for them at the door and they quickly jumped in, not waiting for the doorman to get down and open it. "You ready" Sango asked and Kagome nodded making sure her cutlass could not be seen. It was one of her treasures. Her locket she never saw again but there was three parts to the map and they had stolen one part but she still had the other. There was just one remaining and it was said to be in the hands of one of the nasty pirates Naraku. It was going to be a challenge especially when he had at least 3 boats and a full crew. She sighed which Sango noticed.

"Don't worry Kagome, everything will be fine." Kagome had mentioned the map to Sango but never showed her after that last incident but both were very eager to set out Sango just needed to supply the boat and materials.

The palace when they arrived was crowded with carriages lined out in the front. Young girls waving their fans and walking gracely something Kagome really never mastered but she didn't need to, She was said from many random men that she was gorgeous but Kagome despised the male species and would not forgive until she got her revenge. They walked up to the gates stating their names politely "Sango Takanawa" and the man nodded "Your name miss"

"Akane Fairlush" which he nodded and let them go into the dining area. It was decided long ago that to any stranger her real name could not be used and it rarely was since she had to pretend to be a man half the time but if she uttered her last name she would be immediately hung. There were posters hung up in cities with her name and a reward but no picture since no one had ever reported seeing her but everyone knew that there was another Higurashi and the only person besides the Tashios was Sango her only friend that knew what she looked like. But even the Tashios couldn't know what she exactly looked like anymore it had been like twelve years and it's not like she was still wearing pigtails.

They walked in not expecting what the night would bring.

Still August 1665 Onboard the Celtic Moon

Inuyasha was in one of his many cabins. He had been informed by some of his men that there was a party in Spitialfield tonight. That meant good money, good jewels. He had left home two years ago never wanting to return again. He hated his father for what he had done and never forgave him. Inuyasha also asked people if they heard of a girl named Kagome in the cities he stopped at and they would just shuddered and say no. Apparently she was wanted just because of her name. Anyone who crossed his path he killed.

Tonight would be no different. They were already approaching Spitialfield. The crew and he decided that tonight they would crash their little party and be prepared for battle just in case. In his older years he had become more ruthless. His silver white hair was down to his waste created images that he did not like. He was wanted in many different towns.

He had never told Kagome that day but his secret was that he wanted to sail the open sea. There was a knock at the door disrupting him from his thoughts "Come in" he shouted.

"Hey there Inuyasha, were approaching." Miroku had taken a seat. He was Inuyasha's right hand man and probably best friend. He had met up with him while he was escaping Trinidad. His father he had heard was not happy about him stealing another four ships and their crew but they respected him more than his father.

"Good, I'll be above deck to give out directions." He said, standing

"Alright boss by the way the men were asking if they could bring a damsel aboard. Have a little fun and then at the next port trade them to the slave market." Inuyasha growled in response

"I hate woman but if were going to make a profit then fine." They stood and walked out together. Miroku rolled his eyes.

Only the Celtic moon, Inuyasha's special custom made boat for himself would dock and if they needed reinforcements then they would wave the flag. The crew discussed there plans and docked. The town was quiet since everyone was at the ball. Inuyasha's boots clicked as they hit the ground. Armed and ready they made there way to the palace. Prepared to destroy another city.

<><><><><><>

The men stormed the gates and the guards started sounding the bells. People started to panic and when they saw Inuyasha men and woman started to go into frenzy.

Kagome and Sango were in the back chatting away when they heard the commotion and then watched as the doors were busted down. Kagome's eyes widened when she got a look of who the culprit was destroying her chance to pick up some spare change. She almost dropped her glass. 'All theses years and you haven't changed'

The men spread out trying to defend the woman. Kagome quickly with Sango decided to bolt but she had decided to jump aboard his boat, maybe kill him in his sleep? Plans ran threw her mind and she realized that this was her oppturinty. She smirked revenge was sweet.

Gunshots were heard and Kagome was almost tempted to take out her cutlass. They were looting the place why couldn't she? Sango still urged her along and they made it out back until group of men stopped them, guns pointed at them.

A/N: Tried to make it longer than normal and this is going to be pretty action pact and there won't be romance for awhile. We still have to get to the capturing and then finding the map and then one betraying the other this time and then meeting up at the end. I actually have this sort of planned out. I hope you enjoyed and Buccaneers by the way isn't correctly used in my story they were more in the 1700's but I didn't want to use the words pirates. Once again I apologize for any grammatical errors. I have a feeling that this is going to be harder to do than my other stories.
