InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Till Death ❯ Ch.2 ( Chapter 2 )

Kagome walked down the streets in Yokohama Harbor, she had the urge to run but was unable to do so with a dress on. She loved to run, it made her feel free but she couldn't very often because she spent all of her time on the boat.

Under her dress she wore a tight straight legged black pants with brown knee high leather boots; thankfully she couldn't stand those slippers girls were forced to wear; they gave her blisters.

She tried to keep to her task of getting back to the hotel but she would occasionally get put off course by a nice cutlass or boots.

A normal walk across town that would have taken her 10 minutes took her 25 because of her frequent stops.

She finally arrived at the Shinmura's inn. It was gorgeous, it was made of wood with red shingles. The floor was a beautiful cherrywood with a few tables in the common room. There you could order your food and drink. There was about 15 rooms in total. Some were a simple single bed while others were a three beds that had work rooms for captains or merchants. The Higurashi's had ordered the three beds. In their workroom they had a desk and a chair. Two bedrooms and a kitchen/common room area.

Kagome walked to her fathers work room where she heard two masculine voices. She knocked twice, knowing she would have to act like the merchant's daughter her role was. "Daddy, I heard you wanted me." She said timidly when she usually would have said, "Eh, Dad, you wanted me?"

"Yes, yes Kagome. You can drop the disguise, this is one of my ships captain's." Souta, being the best pirate out there had around six ships, all with trustworthy captains. "I have excellent news for you, my dear." He said from the other room. She gently slid open the door to see her father on one side of the desk and a young man about the age of 19 on the other side. Kagome was in shock, most of the captains were at least in their late thirty's, he must be talented. He had silver hair that shown in the sunlight, with two small dog ears on top of his head. That meant he must be hanyou. Kagome had the sudden urge to go over and touch them. She almost squealed when they began to tweak on top his head. He had golden amber eyes and a tall build. He looked about 6,1, a giant compared to her 5,7. He was strong and used to work, she could tell by his lean chest and flat abdomen which she could see because his white shirt was open at the top. She assumed it was because of the heat. He had muscled arms with biceps that bulged even though he wasn't flexing. He was just muscular enough to show he worked hard but wasn't over the edge. He had tanned skin so she could tell he worked outdoors a lot. She wished she had tan skin too, her pale ivory skin would never tan or burn. He was drop dead handsome. She felt her arousal spike, `How embarrassing.' She thought to herself knowing he could smell it.

He looked at her, she was very pretty and feminine to the untrained eye, but he was most defiantly not the untrained eye. She had callused hands proving she worked hard. She had a flat stomach and strong arms so she obviously took good care of herself. Okay, maybe she was pretty even to his trained eye, but everyone had to have some flaw. Her thick jet black hair which was currently tied up, even skin and crystal blue eyes. He had to smirk when he smelt her arousal boom. He did that to a lot of girls, it wasn't hard with his looks.

"That is my daughter, Kagome. Kagome, that's Taisho Inuyasha, a captain of one of my ships." He said smiling, noticing how they were sizing each other up. Kagome made a small jerky bow, she hated bowing, she never meant it when she bowed. "I believe you know each other." Souta continued. He was quite handsome even though he was well in his late forty's. He still had dark brown innocent eyes, although he was far from innocent, you could tell by the deep scar from his left eye to the end of his nose. He still had dark brown hair almost black, even though he was in the sun for a good part of his day. He was a kind man, you could tell by the way he treated his daughter with respect and by the strong laugh lines that seemed at home on his face.

"Dad, I don't think I know him." She said a little confused. Her voice was like honey, smooth and sweet. She smelt like a lilac after a summers rain.

"Yes sir, I don't think I recall this girl." He spoke with much respect.

"Think back to when you were ten Kagome and I believe you were fourteen Inuyasha. You were just starting to be my cabin boy and you met each other on deck one day." He smiled remembering the memories.

************FLASHBACK*************

It was around may when Kagome climbed the stairs of her fathers ship. It was amazing with dark wood and hundreds of people on board. She truly felt free. She knew when she was older this is what she wanted to be, a pirate. She wasn't looking where she was going just walking around randomly looking at the sites. She stopped paying attention and bumped into her fathers new cabin boy, Inuyana? He must have been sent to get some food because she had wandered into the kitchen.

"Sorry," she mumbled. She sat there looking at him. He was still handsome back then.

"Watch where you're going wench." He replied gruffly. In truth he wasn't looking where he was going either. He stood up to his full height of 5,8.

She decided to ignore that and said, "Hello, my name is Higurashi Kagome."

"Whatever wench." He said unemotionally.

"What's your name?" She asked politely.

"What does it matter wench?" He asked getting fed up by this girl.

"It matters a lot and if you don't stop calling me wench then I'll tell my Dad." She said getting annoyed.

"Oh and who's your dad little girl?" He asked mockingly.

"Souta Higurashi, the best damn pirate out there you asshole!" She responded. My, what a potty mouth she had for such a little girl. Well then again she did grow up with pirates.

"Oh, sorry, miss." He replied, he didn't want to get fired.

"Well," She said, stretching it out.

"Well what?" He asked confused.

"You have no manners, aren't you gonna help me up." She asked angrily. He was positive he could see a vein popping on her forehead.

"Wench, you lived on a pirate ship your entire life, I'm sure you can help yourself." He answered, he had chores to do. Souta would probably get angry if he kept him waiting much longer. Little did he know that Souta was getting impatient and he decided to go to the kitchens and see what was taking so long and that now he was watching the two spar.

"Listen you son of a bitch, you're gonna help me up after you knocked me down." She said deadly quiet.

"No, you listen here bitch, you apologized for knocking me down therefore you are the one who knocked me down. I'm not apologizing nor helping you up off your fat ass." He said.

Souta was still at the door, barely containing his laughter. Kagome was getting a bit snobbish lately and Inuyasha was a little rude. They were perfect for each other. He decided that this was a good time to interrupt, they were both starring holes into each other. "Ah, Kagome, I see you've met Inuyasha, my new cabin boy." He said happily.

"Yes, I have and he's a jerk, he called me a bitch and a wench, take him off your crew." She pouted. He snorted at this.

"Now, now Kagome, he's an excellent cabin boy, maybe one day he'll be a great captain." Inuyasha smirked at this, "You should give him a chance. He is not leaving, I don't give a rats ass if you hate him or love him." They both gagged at the thought. "He is staying." He told them clearly then left. "Oh and Inuyasha now that I'm here might as well get my own food. Your off duty for a while."

"Sorry cap'n." He said. As soon as he was out of sight Inuyasha broke out laughing. "Hahaha, you got told!" He said.

"Shut up you bastard. How come you apologize to him but not to me?" She asked.

"'Cause wench, you're just a captain's daughter, you're not important." He said smirking.

"Neither are you! Sides, I'm gonna be a great pirate captainess some day you'll see!" She screamed.

"Like hell you are. If anything you'll probably some cabin wench, a whore." He said smiling.

That crossed the line. "You jerk!" She yelled, then it was silent. He thought he had won when he smelt it, she was crying. He felt so bad.

"Kagome," He said slowly reaching for her chin. It was kind of scary, he wasn't used to touching girls, especially pretty ones like this. `Wait, where did that come from?' He wondered. He gingerly touched her chin and brought it up so he could see her. Little tear drops streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes were all puffy and red. She looked really pathetic.

"Look! You made me cry! This is the first time I've cried since I was six! You asshole!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. It was so loud that Souta could hear her on the other side of the ship. She slapped him as hard as she could. Inuyasha was left with a red hand print on his left cheek.

She couldn't stand it, she span on her heel and stomped to her room. Leaving Inuyasha standing there with a red mark on his cheek, all alone. She cried for hours and refused to come out of her room for days, they had to serve her food by sliding it under the door. She was embarrassed but still refused to come out.

Inuyasha felt bad but the captain didn't seem to mind so he tried to ignore her. Finally someone coaxed her to come out of her room. She avoided Inuyasha for the remainder of the trip. Once Inuyasha managed to catch her. "Kagome!" He yelled attempting to get her attention.

"What?" She asked and turned to face him. She tried to look angry but the slight blush on her cheeks gave it away.

"I'm…sorry." He said defeated.

"You know what. I'll forgive you if you promise to never tell a soul about this." She said smiling.

She was odd but Inuyasha agreed, "I, Taisho Inuyasha, promise never to tell a soul." He said.

She smiled and said, "Hi, my name's Higurashi Kagome, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said and attempted to curtsy but it was next to impossible with pants on.

"Pleasure to meet you to, I'm Taisho Inuyasha." He said smiling. "I'll see you around." He said then left in a hurry.
