Disclaimer:

I haven't done this in awhile, haha.

I don't own anything. Even InuYasha, but I'll get my lawyers on that, till then he'll have to stay binded to a chair in my closet.

I don't own Jack, Meg does...after she gets her lawyers on it. Till then he'll have to live inside her water bed mattress.

I don't own Will either? Sarah does...he lives in her basement, that's the monster down there. And Will's only a blacksmith, so he doesn't get lawyers. So Sarah wins?

Anddd...I don't own Kaiba either. Alas, Kim does. Well...she used to...or she will again?

 

Story time.

 

~Jack Sparrow's P.o.V. ...I know what you're thinking,'Gasp!'~

I gazed across the clear horizon. Just me and the ocean..."Captain, we are heading east at 7 knots...aye?" Gibbs asked...me, the ocean, and the crew. I sighed and stood up,"Aye, Gibbs...Aye..." I whispered. "Jack...ye feeling up te this?" he asked, his gaze boring into me,"Ye seem out of it, mate." I shrugged lightly, putting on my hat and turning my back away from the working crew, putting my hands on the railing, grasping it tightly. Truth be told, I felt which each wave more sick to my stomach. Something in my heart felt empty...

"Meaghan..." I whispered the name and sat down, resting my head in my hands and wiping my eyes. I leaned over the railing and threw up. "Jack!" Gibbs yelled. My ears were ringing and her face appeared before me, in my mind. I collapsed.

I woke up groggily, groping my hand around in the darkness, expecting to find someone beside me to hold. I sighed, rolling over and staring at the ceiling, deep in thought. The last thing I remembered saying to her was,"Meaghan, ye do not need te be such a bitch! Get the fuck over yerself!" ...and she ran off. It was one of our wrost arguments.

And now I was here, on the Pearl, lying on my back. Back in my dream life of pirating the seven seas. 'My dream life...' the words echoed in my mind. Was this really what I wanted? I was old enough to be settled down. And I had that...and I let it slip away. I had a beautiful wife...and a daughter. And somehow, I lost it before I even had a real grasp on how much I loved it.

I drifited off to a sick sleep again, the waves rocking me slightly. All my dreams were of her...and they turned to nightmares of losing her. I was living the nightmare...

"Jack...Jack...Jack!" a voice shouted close to my ear. It was Gibbs. I opened my eyes slightly and looked at him, standing in the cabin doorway holding a lantern up,"We're coming on to Tortuga, mate..." he said. I stuttered to say something but just rolled over, reaching for a bottle of rum in my bedside cabinet. Gibbs sighed,"Mate...Jack...where were ye...all this time..?" he asked. I took a long shot of rum. Gibbs remained standing there. "I was living a dream, Gibbs..." I whispered hoarsely.

I walked to the small pub as soon as we docked back in Tortuga. Walking through was easy enough, I walked without thinking as I had been to the same pub so many times. It was the looks I recieved that were hard. Giselle and Scarlett exchanged looks with each other and started whispering audibly,"I 'ear 'e's gone and lost 'is touch..." Giselle whispered, looking straight at me. I pulled down my hat, walking on, as Scarlett's voice reached my ears,"Aye, I 'eard the same...I think 'e could use some bed time again, eh?" They cackled annoyingly as I shot them a look. I finally reached the smaller of the many pubs in Tortuga, sitting myself at the grimy bar. The bartender looked me up and down from underneath his oily, tangled hair,"Well then...if it isn't Jack Sparrow..." he muttered. I barely looked up as I flipped him a solid gold coin,"Bottle of spiced rum, mate, straight up, the best ye have on yer hands..." I mumbled. "Ye always had the best of taste..." the bartender replied, grinning a toothy grin. Now I looked up, perking a brow,"Do I know ye, mate?" I asked confusedly. "Aye, I guess ye can say that, Jack," he replied, pouring out two mugs of rum. "I 'aven't threatened ye, 'ave I?" I asked,"Because I don't recall it...and I usually would remember threatening someone like ye, mate, if ye catch me meaning..." He laughed lightly. A familiar laugh as he tucked back his long dirty hair. My eyes widened,"William Turner, ye old scury dog!" I said, standing up and shaking his hand tightly. "Aye Jack, it's been a long time, no?" he replied casually, sitting down. "A long time?! Ye died, mate!" I said.

"Jack Sparrow, do ye really think I would die if ye yerself got off that godforsaken island?" he asked, laughing.

I laughed lightly as well,"All this time..." I muttered. "Aye...how's me son?" he asked, drinking some of his rum. I shrugged,"I haven't seen him in awhile, truthfully, mate...'as he seen you yet?" I asked. He shook his head,"No mate...I can't track him down..." he replied. I nodded,"Well mate...I can help ye with that much...but only if you don't mind someone's who's 'lost their touch'" I said bitterly. "I've heard that much already around these parts, Jack, and trust me, I don't mind..." he replied. I shrugged again, gazing out the window. My eyes snapped to a younger girl, around 16 or so, with long brown hair and deep brown eyes. She was talking to another, shorter girl as they both walked in together, talking in hushed voices. "Well send me to Davy Jones' locker...Rose Charter..." I said, smirking. The taller girl looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes I could fall into,"Jack? Jack Sparrow?" she asked surprised. "The one and only, lu---lass," I said, hugging her lightly. She smiled,"And what of your wife? Why are ye here?" she asked, perking a brow.

William spit out his rum,"Wife?!" he asked. "...It..." I stuttered. "Didn't work out?" the shorter girl accompanying Rose suggested. "'ello Jasmine," I said. She nodded slightly,"Will's back too..." she said softly. "Me son?" William said, standing up. "Is that Bootstrap Bill?" Rose asked. I nodded lightly. "Ye know where my son is lass?" William asked Jasmine. She nodded and sat down,"It's quite obvious Mr. Turner..." she started explaining. Rose and I exchanged uncomfortable glances,"So...ye and Meaghan...aren't together anymore?" Rose asked softly. I shook my head, pulling up a chair to a small table for her,"I don't even know anymore, lu---lass..." I said, correcting myself again. She nodded slightly, looking at me. "I've missed you, Jack," she said finally. I met her eyes,"...I've missed ye too, luv..." I whispered. She leaned forward and our lips connected...

~Meaghan's P.o.V.~

I woke up breathing heavy and fell out of my water bed as it wobbled. My head hit my computer chair,"Shit!" I whispered, rubbing my head lightly. It seemed as if I had been so close...but so far away... "Jack...don't fall in love with her again..." I whispered to the darkness, curling into a ball. She looked like me...she talked like me...but she just wasn't...me. And it hurt me...even if it was a dream...to see Jack Sparrow kissing Rose Charter. Even if me, Max, Sarah and Kim had silently decided to pretend nothing ever happened, I couldn't forget. Bullshit if they could. I sighed and pulled my covers off my bed, curling it around me as I sat at my computer chair. I checked the time...4 AM. Max was on, surprisingly.

"'Ello poppet..." I typed.

"Good morning me lovely..." she typed back.

"Can't sleep?"

"I didn't even try this time..."

"You okay?"

"Yush, Megness...you?"

"Yup"

I sighed and stared at the computer screen hesitantly then finally I typed it,"No I'm not. I can't go on pretending nothing happened because we all know it wasn't a fucking dream. Something happened and it got reversed."

"...I know..." she typed back.

"You know Max?! You know?! Do you know how hard it is for me to sleep at night thinking about Jack? I was in love with him, Maxine!"

"You don't think I wasn't in love with InuYasha?! Part of me thinks it's my fault because I was the one who seperated from InuYasha, Meaghan! And now he's gone!"

"...I'm sorry..."

"you should be"

"Yea...right, I'm gonna go to sleep. Bye Max"

She logged off first. Now I was officially pissed off. I went back to bed, curled up.

And I didn't sleep. Instead I stared at the ceiling, crying silently. Here I was...19 years old in my room, stuck alone in Canada...when part of me felt like I was supposed to be with Jack. I was supposed to be with Jack right now...

...but I didn't even know what was real and what was fake right now...

...I only knew what I had felt for Jack...that was real...

"What's real, Jack?" I whispered to the darkness. "...our love is, Meg..." a voice whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes and shook my head. When I had opened them, everything was different. The blanket, the bed, the ceiling...and I rolled over and looked into those deep brown eyes I'd fallen so hard in love into.

 

~...and this was Meg's chapter. She got the first one, haha. So be happy, bitch! <3

Hah...so...strange, eh? Like I said, I have 19 more chapters after this. So...it shall explain all. Especially if they're pretty long like this.

So...enjoy it!~
