InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Till Death ❯ Ch.1 ( Chapter 1 )

Ch.1

A young g girl walked through the streets of Sendai looking for a present for herself. Today was her sixteenth birthday. Her father had given her some money and told her to go out and buy herself something nice. Kagome was the apple of her father's eyes, ever since her mother had passed away five years ago Kagome had become her fathers devotion and reason to wake up in the morning as he often told her. Since that horrible day they both stopped taking life for granted and cherished each moment of life and each other.

Kagome walked down the streets with her best friend, Sango, who was also sixteen but a couple of months older. Kagome was clad in an ivory dress with small pale green leafs decorating it. It had white lace around the sleeves that ended at elbow length and around the V-neck collar that exposed a good deal of her large breasts. A little too much if you asked her father. Sango wore a forest green gown that made her skin shine and eyes pop. They both hated being defenseless so they each had a small dagger strapped around their ankle. They were both beautiful, maybe the beautilfulest women in Japan, everyone knew about them and their stunning looks. They were called the vixens of the sea for they belonged to no man.

This helped Kagome's father recruit men for voyages. They would seduce men and have a good rut with them, act like they meant something to the two women but their father would only allow them to marry if the two men worked for him. Not that Kagome and Sango were whores, no they just liked to have fun.

Kagome's father acted as a merchant until they were far enough off shore before telling them what he was. Most men who were unaware of his occupation at first but as they got to know the famous captain, Mr. Higurashi, they became more fond of him and stayed.

Sango played the roll of Kagome's sister, truthfully, they were so close that that was how most of the crew saw them. Most of the ones they seduced understood why they seduced them and stopped bugging them about a relationship. Although some were too stubborn or dense to understand that they didn't want a relationship like Kouga and Houjo. They just didn't get that Kagome didn't like them as more than friends. Often she would get so frustrated with them she would yell and slap them, though they never quite got the picture. Sango was never far behind to help Kagome, as well as Miroku, no one hurt her `sister' or his friend.

Miroku was another one of Kagome's close friends, occasionally he would come along on their trips into town and played the part of their cousin. On ship Miroku and Sango were known as a couple, even though Sango supposedly `detested' Miroku and his wandering hands.

But today it was just Kagome and Sango shopping for her birthday present. While most girls their age wished for dresses, jewelry, and love, Kagome wanted guns, daggers and swords. Though, her family was not the ordinary family, her father was Souta Higurashi,(I know he's her brother but in this story he's her dad and if you have a problem with that well to bad it's not changing.) the most feared pirate in all of Japan. She had to smile at this, it was hard to believe that her kind and loyal father was a threatening pirate. But even the name Higurashi sent people into hiding. Then again, she had a reputation: she was the most wanted female, in two ways. One was that men feared her and the second was how they wanted her in bed at the same time. Sango came as a close second though.

Sango had been brought into the family when she was seven. Another pirate had destroyed her home village along with all her family. She had been playing in the woods alone when it happened so she had managed to escape the horror. Kagome and Souta had found her later half starved. Sango didn't know when her village was destroyed, all she knew was that she cried and ran. She had described it so visually you wanted to puke.

Some of the houses had broken doors or they were hanging off the hinges or on just one and were swinging back and with the wind. There were broken windows. Other houses were burning along with corpses or were deeply charred. On the streets were puddles of blood and rotting bodies. She remembered she had walked to her home in a dreamlike state. She had seen her mother, halfway through the door, three bullet holes went straight through her stomach with red blood stains on her shirt. Her leg was broken, the bone was sticking up straight. The bone was covered in dried blood and red muscle. Flies were already invading the innards of the people of the village. The worst part was her mothers eyes, they were still open but they were no longer the dark brown, her eyes had rolled up into her head and all Sango could see was the whites of her eyes, like the first snowfall in the village. Her mouth was slightly ajar as if letting out an internal scream.

That was all Sango could take, drops of salty water dripped down her cheeks as she ran as fast and as far as she could before collapsing. When her knees finally locked and her heart was pounding inside her head she collapsed. Before she drifted into a state of unconsciousness she vowed to herself, she would not die until she had killed the man who had done this to her village.

Kagome had found a cutlass that met her fancy. It was evenly balanced, light enough to move with speed and grace and sharp enough to cut through glass. It had a golden handle with a slight design and a matching dagger. She bout the pair using up almost all of her money, knowing that she would regain it later that night.

Just as they left the shop they heard someone running towards them. When they turned around they saw Miroku coming. He had black pants, a white shirt with a blue coat over top. "Lady Kagome." He panted.

"Jesus Miroku, maybe you should get a little more exercise. You're sweating like a pig and you're out of breath." She teased.

"So you know, I just ran here from the hotel, which is all the way across town." He defended.

"Pfft, probably stopped a couple of times to ask some of ladies if they would bare his children." She said quietly but still very seriously. This caused Kagome to burst out laughing.

"Dearest Sango, do you honestly think so low of me?" He asked. She slowly thought about it then nodded yes. This caused Kagome to burst out into laughter again. He was silent for a while before remembering why he had come. "Lady Kagome-"

He was cut off by Kagome, "Miroku, I told you a hundred times, it's just plain Kagome."

"Fine, Kagome, you're father has something to tell you, I suggest you hurry, he doesn't like to be kept waiting as you know."

"Thanks Miroku. See you guys later gonna go see what Daddy wants." She said then began to walk away. She remembered that she had a sword, quickly ran back and gave it to Miroku. It wouldn't look very ladylike to walk around with a sword and it might give their cover away. She quickly walked off in the direction of the hotel, wondering what her dad could want. Leaving Miroku and Sango alone. A loud slap ecoed through the town. `Oops.' Kagome thought to herself.
