Kagome ran down the stairs as fast as she could. Her heart pounded in her chest as she threw open the front door and looked to the night sky in hopes of catching Souta. However, they were already gone. She couldn't even sense their Aura anymore.
She sunk down to her knees and slammed her fist onto the concrete. "Damn it!" Her head lightly hit the pavement as she felt a tear slid down her cheek. She was supposed to protect Souta, and now he was gone. She didn't know what Peter had in plan for Souta, but from the look he gave her, it was nothing good.
"Blast that Peter Pan!" A voice yelled out from above her. Kagome's head snapped up and her eyes nearly popped from her head at the sight of the giant floating ship that hovered above her house.
Kagome quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and stood up. "Hey you!" she waved her arms to catch the man's attention. He looked down at her and ordered his men to drop the anchor. The anchor slammed onto the ground creating a large crater. The man slid down the metal chain and approached her. "You said Peter Pan, right?"
"Yes I did missy." he whipped his sword from his sheated and pointed it at her neck. "Where is he? Are you hiding him?"
"As if! You just missed him actually." he growled "He just took off with my little brother!"
The tip of his sword rested beneath her chin. The man lifted her face to look up at him. Anger burned in her eyes as she replayed the memory of Peter taking her kid brother.
The man smirked as he sheated his sword. "I like that look in your eyes!" Kagome scoffed. "How about we take you with us back to Neverland!"
Kagome narrowed her eyes at the man. Wasn't Captain Hook the villain of the story books? Then again the books never metioned anything about Peter Pan and his evil intent. The two of them stared each other down until Kagome agreed to come along. She'd stay on guard around the man and his crew.
"Very well! We Must be off then!" he turned and stepped onto the anchor. He held out his hand for her to take. Kagome hesitated before slipping her hand into his. He pulled her into his chest and yelled for his men to raise the anchor. Up they went, onto the ship. Kagome clutched onto his jacket as the ground became smaller.
"Mr. Smee! Set the sails for Neverland!" the captain ordered as they stepped onto the deck. A short chubby male saluted his captain and set to work. Kagome stumbled as the ship rose higher into the sky and turned.
"Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning." she muttered as she leaned against the railings.
"How do you know?" Kagome turned to come face to face with Captain Hook himself.
"There's a children's story book called Peter Pan. It tells the story of a girl named Wendy and her brothers that travel to Neverland and there they meet mermaid, fairies and redskins. However, not everything in neverland is sunshine and rainbows. Peter Pan's archnemesis Captain Hook has it out for him and is set on his destruction. Hook captures the lost boys and threatens to throw them off the plank to the crocodile. Peter comes and saves the day and Wendy and her brothers return home." she explained to him.
Hook said nothing. It was obvious she didn't believe him. He stood silently beside her until they had arrived in Neverland. The ship landed in the water. They approached land where a few pirates hopped aboard and stood in a line before captain hook.
"Have you discovered the whereabout of Peter and the Lost boys?" Hook asked the men.
"Yes sir!" they all said in unison. He moved to a round table where a map lay. One of the men pointed at the area where he was currently located. Hook looked up at the priestess.
"You will accompany me to this hideout." he left no room for her to protest. He brushed past her and headed in the direction of the hideout. Kagome rolled her eyes, but followed after the pirate. A little over two hours later, Hook suddenly disappeared. Kagome stopped to call out for the man, but a hand was slapped over her mouth and she was pulled into thick bushes.
He hushes her before she can scream. "He's not who you think." he motioned to Peter pan leading an older looking boy, maybe a year or so younger than herself, away from the hideout. Hook and Kagome silently tailed him from the bushes. Once they were quite a ways from the hideout, Peter Pan picked up a rather large looking stone and turned to the boy who gave him a confused look.
Peter's friendly face twisted into one of anger as he raised the stone above his head and began beating the boy with it. Kagome held a hand to her mouth as she watched him, unable to tear her gaze from the scene. "You're getting too old!" Peter yelled angrily, with final bash to the head, ending the boys life. Kagome turned away from the horrific scene.
Her resolve to save her brother only grew stronger as she and Hook slipped away.
