Pirates of the North Pacific
By: Roaring Flames
On A Foggy Dawn, Ten Years Ago...
(Prologue)
It was a normal day on the coast of Japan, the Japanese fleet made they're normal patrols of the area in search of pirates...
(The camera goes in slowly towards one of the ships and we see young Kamiya Kaoru on the deck of the ship)
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me..." She sang quietly in hope that something might happen if she did. An old man walks over to Kaoru and had a very surprised look on his face. He interrupted her singing to tell her,
"You best never sing that song Miss Kaoru, it is very bad luck, that it is. We might even be attacked by pir-!" He was cut off by the approachment of the admiral and the ships owner Mr. Kamiya. The old man saluted to the admiral and went on his way back to his watch. Kaoru's father approached her and put a hand on her head playfully.
"So Kaoru what are you doing way over here?" He asked her in a cheerful voice. Kaoru put her hands on the railing of the ship and looked up at her father.
"Father, will we run into pirates?" She asked him while staring back out to sea as if to get lost in it. The fleet owner puffed and patted her on the head.
"There's nothing to worry about Kaoru dear, there's no pirates anywhere near here to get you." He stated while walking away from her. Kaoru went back to her daydreaming until something caught her eye. Smoke was coming from the sea and she blinked in confusion to why there was such a thing occurring. She then heard a loud voice from the crow's nest, "Shipwreck up ahead!" they were saying. They approached the wreckage to find it on fire.
"Sir, it looks like they were attacked by pirates! We found but one survivor!" The seaman reported to the admiral. He nodded and sent the man away back to his duties. Kaoru ran down the stairs from the bow and came to where there was quite a crowd. They pulled up a small boy, about Kaoru's age. She walked over to him and kneeled down to take a closer look at him. He had red hair and was completely drenched in salt water. He awoken suddenly and began coughing out water. He was panting for air as if he was suffocating. His violet eyes turned to her and their eyes met.
"What is your name?" she asked quietly as she noticed everyone that was around her left to go back to their own duties. The young boy's breath became more stable enough for him to say, "Shinta Himura." Shinta's eyes then slowly shut and he drifted of to sleep. Kaoru's eyes scanned his body to find a medallion attached to a black string. She took it of him and inspected it closer to find a skull on it with two swords through it's head, the symbol of a pirate. She heard the admiral's voice draw near and she quickly put the medallion necklace on and his it in her dress top.
"Did you find out the boy's name, Kaoru?" The admiral asked. Kaoru nodded and told him that his name was Shinta. The admiral smiled and folded his arms behind his back and went on with his duties. Kaoru's eyes turned back to the boy and she put her hand to her chest, where the medallion and whispered to him.
"I'll protect you, Shinta..."
