Ch.4

 

Kagome walked through the streets, searching for Sango and Miroku, occasionally getting side tracked with some of the traders' merchandise. It had been an hour since she had been attacked by the three drunk men and still no sign of Sango or Miroku, although she probably only spent one quarter of her time searching.

 

It was starting to get dark and she need to get back to the inn before 7:00p.m. That was she could take her comfortably change, eat and have a short talk with her father about his new plans. If she timed it correctly she would be done right before they began to plunder the unaware city. She sighed to herself, `Oh well, the shops are beginning to close anyway.'

 

She did a quick turn and began to stride towards the Shinmura's inn. She was in the average mood before a raid, saying that she couldn't keep the smile off of her slender face and was loudly humming to herself. Then she remembered Inuyasha would be there, and worse, he would probably have to switch ships so they could get to know each other better. She made a gagging face and let out a loud groan, earning her a couple of strange stares from the people around her.

 

She began to stride to the inn at a fast pace, cursing her lady like attire, wishing she could run to the inn, she had a lot of pent up energy. Oh well, that would make the plunder so much more interesting. The raid would go as planned, her father, her, Sango, Miroku, supposedly Inuyasha, maybe Kouga and Houjo, it all really depended on her father's mood, would raid the houses of higher estate while the lower members of the crew would get the smaller homes. Since her father found it stupid to put all the money together and split it equally on raids like this, it was the first come, first serve method. The only detail was the ship left at twelve o'clock sharp, no exceptions. If you weren't on you were screwed. On bored they would have major drinking and festivities. Maybe she could get so drunk Inuyasha would be lost from her mind.

 

The tread through the city was uneventful for Kagome; she memorized where the houses of higher estate were. Finally, as she reached the inn she went to the front desk. Behind it stood Mrs. Shinmura. She was an older woman; she had short gray hair, a small, thin frame. Though her face was wrinkled her eyes still shown as brightly as the stars. “Good evening Shinmura-san.” She greeted.

 

“Same to you, Higurashi-joshi.” The elderly lady said kindly.

 

“Can I get some oden and a hot bath please?” Requested the young lady.

 

“Hai, your bath can be arranged so that you can eat first. Please take a seat in the dinning room and your oden should be served shortly.” She said with a smile. Kagome nodded in return. She really liked the Shinmura's; they always made Kagome and her family feel welcome. In return her father made certain the crew did not affect the Shinmura's too much.

 

She walked into the tavern type dinning room and took a seat near the windows though she was facing the kitchen entrance. She closed her eyes and let out a tired sigh. How could her father expect her to live with that monster of a man? Plain and simple, she couldn't. A small tear threatened to slip from her eye, but she blinked, trying to keep the tears at bay.

 

She vaguely heard the door open, then close, followed by some angry mumbles. (Sounds like me at X0Xsakura_princessx0x) `Speak of the devil.' She heard him sit at the seat across from her. The inn was set in a western style, since they influenced the Japanese so much and were getting more accustomed to western travelers staying there. That was why her father's crew chose to wear foreign garb, they could pass as sailors from a western land. They were less conspicuous that way. She knew who it was though she didn't know what he wanted, but that made her all the more reluctant to open her eyes. She debated keeping her eyes closed and ignoring him. “Wench, I know you know I'm here.” `So much for that plan.' She thought to herself.

 

She opened her eyes to find beautiful golden eyes staring back at her. She didn't want to be dealing with this right now. “Yet you didn't know that I really don't want to talk to you right now.” She said giving him a hard glare. There was a long pause. Both daring the other to say something more. Finally, Kagome realized how childish this must seem to all the other customers, began again. “I'm sorry. Hello Inuyasha, how was your day?” She asked with exasperation.

 

He decided to ignore both her question and attempt at peace. “I waited here for an hour.” So much for not causing a scene. There was a long pause as Kagome tried to remember why he would tell her this. At Kagome's blank stare he sighed then replied, “We were supposed to have dinner. Or did you forget, wench?” He asked rudely.

 

She slowly nodded, then as it dawned on her, her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, forming a small `O'. “Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I completely forgot!” She honestly felt bad for standing the guy up, even if she didn't like him that was completely disrespectful to her future husband.

 

“Bitch, are you stupid?” He asked, giving her a disgusted look.

 

“No, I think you-“ She started before he cur her off.

 

“Wow! That's a change, you thought! It's a sign of the apocalypse!” He yelled, drawing the attention of the few people who were still going about their own business.

 

“Go to Hell! I think you should stop being so childish. I said I was sorry, though I'm starting to regret that.” She replied with an equal amount of attitude.

 

“Feh,” He answered before a moment of awkward silence rested upon their table. For some reason he didn't feel like standing up and leaving, or maybe it was because he had no better place to be. He sighed to himself; at least she wasn't questioning him on his odd stay. He began to stare down at his hands, trying to entertain himself by playing with his razor sharp claws. He was relieved from the silence when her oden arrived. As soon as it was placed on the table she began to inhale it. He knew he was famous for eating quickly, but this girl didn't even quit to breathe.

 

They sat these a few minutes, listening to the sound of her eating the oden. Neither bothered with words, knowing that words would break the silent agreement they had made.

 

When she was done she excused herself for a bath. She began to leave but then had a second thought. “Hey, Inuyasha, are you coming with me and dad tonight?”

 

“Yes, I am, Kagome.” She smiled at the use of her name. It felt abnormal and foreign on his tongue. And just like that they had made a truce, to what extent, neither was sure, but a truce had been made. The only question was, could they keep it?

 

Then as another afterthought she questioned, “Hey, you'll be sailing with us after this right?” He looked up at her question. He simply nodded, that was all she needed. Then she made her exit to her room where a fresh bath had been prepared for her. Steam rose from to large wood tank, filling the room with a light cloud. In the basin were some salts that smelled like soft lavender. Beside the bath, on the floor was a bottle shampoo, another of conditioner, a bar of soap, and a white wash cloth with two towels.

 

She quickly slipped off her heavy dress, wondering how all the girls in England and the rest of the western countries could stand to wear them. She stood in her black pants, boots and corset. She pulled off her leather boots then socks, gasping at the coolness of the hardwood floor. She loosened her corset then pulled it over her head. She quickly leapt out of her undergarments and stepped into the tub. `Just the right temperature.' She thought to herself. As she sat down, her breasts bounced, turning stiff the warmth of the water. The water hit her core and she let out a loud groan. She had been sexually frustrated for a while now. Her father didn't need her to recruit any more men lately, so she had been sexually frustrated for what seemed like forever. She assumed now, that it was at cause of Inuyasha's arrival.

 

Her hand began the short journey southward, across her flat stomach and navel to womanhood. Just before she placed her hand on her pulsing core, which would finish its journey, she remembered that she had a job to do in 40 minutes roughly. She didn't have time for leisurely pleasures like that. But, she decided she needed a moment of simple relaxation. She let her body go limp, water lapping her chest.

 

After a few minutes she began to shampoo her greasy hair and lather her scarred body. She rinsed out her hair and put in some scented conditioner. She waited a few moments before rinsing her now clean hair. She got out and began to dress. She shivered at the sudden wave of cool air upon her heated body. She looked down at her bare legs, deciding she had time for a wax. (Sorry if they didn't wax back then, I really don't know, nor do I care, same thing with the socks. It's a fanfiction!) She put on the wax and started drumming her fingers along the tiled floor before ripping the dried wax off. She flinched slightly at the pull of her sensitive flesh, but made no other indication of pain.

 

After her legs had been thoroughly waxed she pulled on a fresh pair of undergarments that she had pulled out before she popped into the bath. She pulled on a brassier, then straight-legged brown pants with a cuff at the bottom. You could tell they were well worn by the large gap at the knee and the slight rips around the ankle. After she pulled on brown leather boots that matched her pants. She pulled on a loose beige long sleeved shirt that was a little tight across the chest. She grabbed her black suede jacket, sensing that it would be cool that night. She put her dagger in her left boot. Her jacket was special made for her by a friend of the family's, a seamstress named Ayame. The sleeves had a hidden compartment at the bottom so that she could simply reach into the opposite sleeve and pull out one of the daggers. At her left hip lay her sword, she may have seemed overprotective, but long ago she learned that it was better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. She opted bringing her throwing knife, but decided against it. She was armed. She tied her hair up in a loose ponytail, keeping it out of her face.

 

She walked towards her father's room, not bothering to knock before entering. She saw her father at his desk, Sango and Miroku in one corner, Inuyasha in another and Kouga in another. More of the less known crew was spread around the room. The other members had yet to arrive. She made her way towards Sango and Miroku, her best option of company, without being seen by Kouga. Unfortunately, Kouga seemed to disagree with her plan. He made his way towards her. She gave a pestered look at Sango and Miroku who just snickered. “How's my woman?” He asked, not noticing her glance at her two friends.

 

“I'm not your woman.” She answered coldly. She had had a bad day and didn't feel like humoring the neanderthal.

 

He ignored her comment and continued with his persistent attempts to get her to become his woman. “Would you like to accompany me to the party tonight?” He asked, trying his best to sound like he had received more than three years of schooling.

 

She searched for a way out of it, finally her eyes landed on a far corner. Her eyes instantly lit with an idea. “I, uh, can't. I'm going with, uh, Inuyasha, my, uh, betrothed.” She lied, hoping he would get the hint. He looked stunned and was in shock for a moment. She decided not to let this opportunity go to waste and made a hasty exit. She quickly reached Sango and Miroku. They kindly greeted her. “Where were you!” She demanded, referring to earlier that day.

 

“Uh, around.” Sango answered with a deep blush. Kagome decided to except this answer, knowing from Sango's deep blush that they were probably hidden in some alley doing the naughty. Their attention was soon diverted when Souta began to make an announcement.

 

“Alright men.” He began but Sango loudly cleared her throat. Though Kagome had learned to ignore when her father referred to the crew as men Sango liked to make it known that there were females aboard and was constantly correcting the crew for their slight mistakes.

 

“And ladies.” Sango smirked. “Plunder as you wish, kill as you wish. Don't come cryin' to me if you don't get as much as one of your mates. Remember, ship doesn't wait for no one, it leaves at 12. Don't take too much from the Shinmura's; if you do you'll have me to deal with. Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango, you come with me.” `Guess Kouga isn't coming with us.' She thought, slightly relieved. “Let the looting begin!” He announced as all the pirates stormed out into the unsuspecting village.
