InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Golden Age ❯ Down and Dirty ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: Well it's been awhile since I even looked at this. I know I'm a bad author. Anyways I'll be away this week so you shall see no signs of me which means nothing else will be updated. This is a whee bit rushed just because it's been sitting here and I would like to move a little along with this when I return or when spring breaks comes in a couple weeks.

 

Disclaimer: I may not own the real Inuyasha but I own a super cute plushy that you can't have.

 

 

The Golden Age

Chapter 3: Down and Dirty

-

 

 

 

The sounds of cannons were firing everywhere. Kagome was still hiding under a barrel contemplating how to get herself and friend out. She was going to have to knock out a single guy and steal his clothes but with their battle raging on it seemed hopelessly impossible. And if she even got that far what would she do next? Well rescue her friend obviously but that was no easy task either. She have to sneak into the lecher's cabin and take Sango out but where too? There was no island for miles.

 

She rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Well they would disguise themselves as sailors but how long until that charade wore off and they were caught and hung? `Wait a second' another thought entered Kagome's head. Inuyasha had a part of the map, her map. This was her opportunity to get it back. There wouldn't be many chances left and this might be the last she would get. She would have to run the risks.

 

Kagome crawled a little to the next little haven in the ground. She overheard some men talking. If she shot a gun that would create too much commotion and that would be bluntly giving herself away. There were some sitting in corner eating molded apples before they rotted even more. Those should probably be the ones she targets but still that was pretty dangerous. `Where are the sucky sailors that no ones misses' Kagome silently fumed.

 

Time was ticking and each minute that passed was leading to more danger for her friend. Not to mention herself. It wouldn't be wise to go on deck but then again it was dark. She wanted to slap her head for her stupidly. Why would anyone when there in danger hide in the light instead of the dark? She could easily target anyone and with the raging winds and ocean no one would here or see.

 

Back up the stairs she went. Carefully she entered out into the dark where gun shots were being fired and were louder. It wasn't ideal either to be standing out here because someone could hit her because not even the crew could decipher who was good and who was the enemy. There were some men hiding away behind barrels. She'd hate to go after the cowards but what could you do in a situation like this? Not all that much.

 

Kagome grabbed a near by pistol and snuck up behind the person. He had reddish oragane hair and was kind of short. She hate to hit a kid but desperate times call for desperate measures. Gracefully, she hit him straight over the head and dragged him to the sidelines, making sure no one was there.

 

 

Sango lay back in the cabin where she had woken up in the first time. It was musky smelling but not horribly dirty. Miroku, the man that captured her now safely watched over her from a distance. He wasn't in the mood he had said because when his boss finds out that one of the girls he bought on board went missing well lets just say he was going to be a shit load of trouble if she wasn't found by morning.

 

“You know where she went dontcha? Tell me and I won't do a thing.” He said though she seemed too innocent from the start to do anything.

 

“I don't know but touch me and you won't have to worry about your boss taking you out.” Sango spoke, starting to stand up from her spot on the ground. She took the defensive mode. This guy may be second in command but he looked pretty scrawny. `Easy target' she muttered.

 

“Well since you insist on playing hard ball I certainly can't back down from a challenge.” Miroku didn't like to hit any girl but he would get her down and the answers he needed. He didn't really want to fight her for the information nor did he think she possessed much of it. I mean by now the other girl has to have moved around and probably targeted people. He groaned and sat back down. What was the use?

 

“Dontcha wanna fight.” Sango asked more as a command then anything else. She needed a good sprawling and a way to get out. She didn't feel comfortable anymore. Usually at home there was lots of people protecting her and guarding everything but being out at sea was very different and made her rethink her deal she made with Kagome a little while ago.

 

`She never said being on a boat would be so hard.' Okay she knew there would be no real bathroom or the greatest of foods but to live on apples and muggy water, the humanity. The near thought made her want to run back home and under the covers but that was a tad impossible since she was taken hostage by this imbecile.

 

“Let's make a deal. If you help me, before Yasha finds out, find her I'll let you both go unharmed and safe.”

 

“What's the catch?” Sango asked a little weary of what this pirate was planning.

 

“No catch my dear. I just want you out of here before they kick me off with you too.”

 

She sat there silently for a few minutes. She had a feeling there was going to be more to this than what he was saying but she stuck out her hand and mumbled `deal'. It wasn't like there was much else they could do. At least he was allowing them to get off the boat but she wasn't sure how her friend would react. She had known that she was out for revenge and the captain of the boat they were on was the cause of all her problems. Sango sighed like they say safety first.

 

 

Kagome had her hair pinned in a bandana, a huge shirt and gargantuan pants on. The kid may have looked small but his clothes were big. No one would recognize her with her disguise on. The deck when she stepped out was full of bodies, weapons which she grabbed. Other people from other boats had decided to swing onto there boat. It was an intense little battle waging on.

 

Some one had decided to pick a fight with her. Kagome had no clue what party he was from but cared less and stabbed him right through the heart and shot a man from behind with pistol she had found. The blood started rushing through her veins. This is what she lived for and her target was so near that she could taste victory and the revenge she had been craving for since she was a small girl.

 

`First Sango than I'm coming for my map.' She said to no one in particular and walked around the dark ship during the night.

 

Sango was not in the cabin they were first in nor was she down below. The battle between the other boats eventually died down and faded out. The crew went back to normal some sleeping, some dead. It was a sturdy ship she had concluded. It took a large beating. At least six cannons had to have hit it and god only knows what other damage the boat might have suffered but it continued to sail proud.

 

She sighed getting frustrated since she couldn't find her friend. `Have they already got you?' Kagome wondered and was bought out of her day dream when some one from behind started to say something to her.

 

“Hey you, hoisen the flag.” Kagome turned around to see the captain telling her orders. She only stared and a snarl appeared on her lips.

 

“Did you hear me?” Inuyasha asked growing impatient. He wondered why he always got stuck with idiots on his boat.

 

“Why don't you go do it yourself.” Kagome replied before taking off. That might be considered mutiny she reckoned but she didn't care. She'd kill him if she had to herself. Unless of course he got to her first.

 

Inuyasha stood there for a second. Some one had actually dared to talk back to him. He was going to find out who this sailor was. At least he wouldn't be hard to pin point out with all the bagging clothing he wore. “Miroku where the fuck are you?” Inuyasha yelled hitting someone who came close to him.

 

 

“Miroku what was that?” Sango asked staying closely behind the lecherous pirate. She could only trust him and that was even pushing it. It made her nervous but he had said they'd get out safe and sound, now if only they could find Kagome but it looked like she was no where to be seen.

 

The next stop he had said was still miles and probably a day or two away. It made her cringe but at least they would be getting off soon. `Home, home, home' Sango muttered thinking about the delicacies she had back in Spitifield that were now probably blown away.

 

Such the life of a pirate.

 

“Follow me. I have to see what's up with Yasha but than we will continue searching for your friend.” Mroku said in a hushed tone. It was not a good idea to bring woman on to the deck but that is where he heard his captain and from the sound of it he should obey his orders since it seemed he was in a shitty mood.

 

“Miroku where have you been? And who is that?” Inuyasha immediately questioned when he saw a woman standing discreetly behind Miroku.

 

“Nothing to concern yourself with, she is merely a companion.” Both of them raised there eye brows but let it go when Inuyasha spoke again.

 

“I think there's mutiny going on. I want you to find and locate this baggy person on board my ship and bring them to me. You have two hours and if you don't comply your little misses is going over board.” He gulped and Sango took a step back. The captain was not a nice man and one to be feared.

 

“Okay baggy clothes and?” Miroku needed a little more information than that to find someone. There were a ton of sailors with baggy clothes on board.

 

“A bandana with strange dark eyes.” Inuyasha said arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face.

 

“All right boss. I'll deal with it.” Miroku than took his leave. So now they had to find Kagome and this mystery sailor. Things were beginning to get overly complicated than normal.

 

“Mirkou what about Kagome?” Sango asked watching her steps behind his back. She wanted to find her friend and make sure she was safe first.

 

“Don't worry. I'm sure she wouldn't jump in the ocean since is no island near by. We'll find her right after we find this sailor and maybe we'll get lucky and find both.” He said with a smile, crossing his fingers that this job was going to be easier than it sounded.

 

Too bad for the both of them that they didn't know that the two people they were looking for were actually just one.

 

 

Kagome was searching down below again where they stored all their supplies for the trip and their loot. She had stuffed her favorite red pants in a cabinet where no one would see or she hoped they wouldn't. Sango was still no where to be seen.

 

`God damnit where the hell is she. The boat isn't that big.' Kagome mentally screamed in her head. It was now very likely that she was captured and thrown into a cabin on the boat of some other sailor but she couldn't just barge in all of them well there was only two but wouldn't the other one be the captains? She pondered this but than the map came back in her mind.

 

`Inuyasha's got my map probably stored in his cabin.' Kagome took her lead upstairs deciding that she'd take her chances and take peak in the other cabin. It probably wasn't a smart move after she had just defied him and now she was going to snoop in his cabin but what if Sago was there. There was always a chance.

 

It was still dark and she heard Inuyasha on the deck which meant the coast was clear. She pulled a pin out of her pocket and began to pick the lock.

 

`Open, open, open!' She fumbled around with it until she heard a click but than felt a tap on her shoulders. She turned around and backed up frightened that she was just caught and might get hung. Kagome bit her lip and stared at the person that had just caught her in the crime. She gulped how was she going to get out of this?

 

 

A/N: Next chapter I believe we will have a little escape scene and the stealing of the map. Oh boy Kagome is a big trouble maker in this story. Okay will until next time

 

Buh Bye
