TsukiKei27: Enjoy the Chapter!
Yamaguchi's lungs burnt; struggling to catch his breath as he sprinted away from the place that was his home. He never wanted this, to be running away from the only life he knew. Been constantly waited upon by the palace's many servants and always stuffed full to the brim with his favourite food was awesome and all, however he just couldn't take it anymore. Though most people would kill to live his life, Yamaguchi couldn't stand being alone in this stupidly sized palace anymore. Sure the servants talked to him and kept him company, but it wasn't enough. Yamaguchi longed for adventure. The Royal life was just not for him.
"Don't stop looking until we find the prince!" Suddenly a voice ripped through the dusk, Yamaguchi recognised it as the King's right hand man and the Admiral of the King's Navy, Oikawa Tooru. "We have to find him before the night falls or the King is gonna have my head!"
"You heard him, keep moving and keep your eyes peeled!" Iwazumi Hajime; the Vice Admiral, ordered to all the Navy soldiers.
Yamaguchi had to hide; if he was found now, he wouldn't get another chance to escape. When he turned around the corner, he heard the distant sound of a bell.
'That must be the ship's bell, must hurry or I'll miss it!' Yamaguchi thought as he raced towards the jingling sound. If he could just manage to stow away on the touring galleon that was due to part in 15 minutes then he'll be in the clear. Yamaguchi felt like he was going to faint; the cold air seeming to snatch away his breath, 'Just a little father and I'll be home free!' He told himself as he rounded the last corner, expecting to see a glorious ship getting ready to sail off. However, to Yamaguchi's absolute horror; the ship was know where to be seen.
"Where the hell is the ship!" Yamaguchi screamed internally. It wasn't due to set off for another 10 minutes, and yet here the dock was. Completely and utterly empty of said galleon.
"Did you hear about The Serena?" Yamaguchi whipped his head to the right to see two well dressed women casually talking and having a smoke in the street.
'The Serena? That's the name of the touring galleon!' Yamaguchi realised as he snuck closer to the women so he could hear better.
"What about her?" The other women replied to her friend.
"Apparently, the navigation system went down, so they had to set off to the next island before it got dark." The first women shrugged as they both put out their cigarettes and returned into the bar.
" Great, so much for that idea, stupid Serena and her useless technology." Yamaguchi swore under his breath as he started to panic. How the hell was he going to get away now, he knew he couldn't stay in the town. Admiral Oikawa would surely find him before dawn. The only way Yamaguchi could get away is to sneek on a ship and leave the island. The only ships that were still docked were the kingdom's fishing boats; which is where the bell sound came from as it swung back and forth in the wind. Even if he could steal one, he didn't have a single clue how to sail. As for navigation; yes he was very good at reading the stars, he had a lot of free time so he asked for a telescope for his 6th birthday. He knew every constellation in the sky, but without knowing which direction the next island was in, even that skill wouldn't come in handy right now. "Argh, what am I gonna do!" Yamaguchi pulled his hair in frustration. He was beginning to lose hope. Just about a he was going to give up, he heard an energetic voice cut through the silence.
"Hurry up Tanaka! We need to get this food and booze onto the ship so we can sail to the next island!" Shouted the said boy. Yamaguchi quickly dove behind some crates as the people came to view. There were two people; a relatively short boy with black, spiky hair with a blonde fringe, and a tall boy with a shaved head and a mean look on his face.
"Why the hell is their navy soldiers everywhere, it's ridiculous!" The other boy, named Tanaka, grumbled. "Has a prisoner escaped or something?"
"I may as well be a prisoner." Yamaguchi muttered under his breath.
"Let's hurry and drop this stuff off so we can warn the others, the sooner we leave this island the better." The short boy decided as they walked towards the north-east side of the island.
"Okay Tadashi, you have a choice, either take a chance and follow them and live a life of adventure, or go back to a life of boredom." Yamaguchi weighed up his options, then scoffed at himself for even thinking about going back. So Yamaguchi saw his chance and sneakily followed the boys, making sure he remained a few metres away from them as to avoid been caught. About 10 minutes later, they arrived at a cape and Yamaguchi awed at the site.
Docked at the cape, was a beautifully crafted black ship with gold gold trims and swirls. Probably roughly the size of a normal sized house. What stood out the most to Yamaguchi was that the ship's design was very much influenced by a type of bird. The front figurine was the head of the bird and on the sides of the ship were feather-like attachments that created the look of wings, almost giving the illusion that this ship could fly away at any minute. Two cannons were peeking out underneath the feather attachments and at the very back of the ship had another feather attachment to look like the fanned tail of the bird. The ship had two masts with big, white sails that were currently tied to the top of the mast, as to not blow the ship over in the wind. On top of the crows nest was a Jolly Roger flag with black wings on each side of the skull and was surrounded by black feathers.
"Great, I'm going to be stowing away on a pirate ship, what a clique." Yamaguchi quietly chucked as he hid behind a bush. He watched on as pirates boarded onto their ship. He waited patiently for them to come back out before he attempted to creep onto the pirate ship. A few minutes later they both stalked down the ladder and planted themselves back onto land.
"Right, let's make hast and gather the crew before the navy finds us." The short boy decided. " Hopefully they haven't all been caught with all this navy activity."
"I highly doubt Daichi-San would let himself and his crew get caught Nishinoya, if anyone was to get caught it would either be Hinata or Kageyama." Tanaka said matter of factly. "Those idiots wouldn't realise what was happening until they were behind bars."
"Come on let's get going, I'm starting to get tired." The short boy, now known as Nishinoya, yawned and rubbed his eyes as they started to walk back towards town.
As soon as they were out of sight, Yamaguchi made a break for the ship and grabbed the ladder. He ascended the ladder as fast as his tired body allowed him and in no matter of time he was safely on the ship. Now all he had to do was find a place he can hide away as not to be caught. On closer inspection, Yamaguchi really started to admire the person who built this ship, they definitely had a keen eye for little details. However he didn't have the time nor the energy to explore this work of art, so he started to walk around looking for a suitable place to hide. That's when he discovered what looked like the food and drink storage. Yamaguchi went to the very back of the room and crouched behind two ale barrels. Yamaguchi sighed happily as he yawned. Finally warm and relaxed, he settled down and rested his head against the barrel. After years of being alone and cooped up in his room, Yamaguchi was just about to start a life of adventure. However he was so tired and wrapped up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the quiet creek of the storage door opening and closing. He didn't notice the sound of footsteps that were slowly getting louder. What finally snapped him out of it was the soft click of a pistol being loaded and a low, calm voice that echoed through the room.
"May I ask why you are currently making yourself comfortable in our supply room?" The voice spoke softly. Yamaguchi froze solid; afraid to lift his head. Had he seriously been caught? He felt like the most stupidest person in the world for letting his guard down. How did he not hear this boy come in and out of the room. One thing was for sure, Yamaguchi's dream to leave this island was becoming bleak. In fact, judging the sound of that click, he might be dead in a couple of seconds.
" I shall ask you again, why are you on the Black Crow." The boy asked, his voice was so low and husky that it sent literal shivers down Yamaguchi's spine. He was too scared to speak up, too afraid to answer.
"You have 10 seconds to either to explain yourself or I am throwing you overboard." The boy gave Yamaguchi an ultimatum as he started to count down from ten. He didn't have a choice, he had to say something or he would become shark bait. So with all the courage he could muster, Yamaguchi raised his head to beg the pirate to let him stay on the ship until the next island. But before he could open his mouth, Yamaguchi completely froze in bewilderment. There, stood in front of him was a tall, blonde haired boy with thin, black rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. In his right hand was a very decorated pistol, which was currently pointed at his chest. However it wasn't his blonde hair or the pistol that had him lost for words, it was his golden yellow orbs that seemed to set Yamaguchi's soul on fire.
"8, 9, 10." The boy finished counting. " So, are you going to speak, or am I gonna have to do some damage control?"
Yamaguchi gulped and opened his mouth to speak, however, he could only squeak out three words.
" I can explain."
