Chapter 1

When Inuyasha has the chance to return to Kagome, he doesn’t hesitate. Unfortunately, the happy ending that he’s been waiting for is still out of his reach.

On the horizon, where the deep black sky met the even darker sea, a strange green glow flickered into life like the sudden flare of a match. The shape was indistinct at first, but as the light grew brighter and the object moved slowly but steadily closer to the shore, there was no mistaking what it was. The huge wooden ship could have sailed straight out of the Feudal Era and every inch of the vessel glowed with eerie phosphorescence.

Inuyasha swore, his hand flying instinctively to the hilt of Tessaiga. Despite the rumours that had drawn Kagome to this remote stretch of coastline in the first place, he hadn’t really believed it was true, but she could definitely see the ghost ship.

She could see the ghost ship, so why the hell couldn’t she see the ghost standing at her side?

What an exciting and intriguing beginning to this story, @calloftherunningtide, and a twist that was definitely unexpected! We can’t wait to see where it goes next! (We literally cannot say more because that would give too much away!)
