A Pirates Life…
"Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates' Life For Me…"
As the sun sets dark billowing sails for a dark ship tainted the cloudless sun set. The ship was dark and foreboding like a curse or a ghost... whenever an unfortunate event came about the ship seemed to be the one who forewarned the events about to unfold. The crew on-board were said to be the worst sort you could come across. All who set eyes on this ship are said for fall victim of a spell and if you are taken by one of the crew or to come on board you where never seen or heard of again. Or so it is said…
The ship, the colour of rotten wood which it really wasn't, and sails that had seen many a better day and almost matched the ship in colour, seemed to be deserted un-attended by any of the crew but, as the sun slipped away a man appear on deck. Slow more and more members of the crew scuttle on board the deck turning to the cabin in which their captain resides. The crew was a ragtag and dark as the ship itself. Standing there they looked like a very mixed match team from short to tall to young to slightly oldish. Though one of the crew was very old, the oldest perhaps in their early thirties excepting the captain whom was older than them all. The cabin door swung open with bang that sounded throughout the ship but, never left the vessel; and the captain emerged. He was a tall man, over six feet, with a beard down to his chest that was slowly changing over from inky black to the grayest of grays, with his hair it was the same story but for the length with which the ends were just brushing the shoulders. The captain wore a big, wide brim hat that had on feather that was bright red, the rest of the hat was a dull smoky gray.
"Wake up you fucking scoundrels' we have some hunting to do" he sneered, "Except for you missy, you, midear is going to be shut in your room for awhile and won't make a single sound." He directed to the only girl on board. As the rest of the crew scurried to their posts afraid of what there captain might do and what the night holds for them, the girl looked up at the boy beside her, with her emerald eyes asking if she should follow the captain's orders. The boy's amber eyes look straight ahead fearing for what lay ahead of them not that if not day but the future which was uncertain if they could live and be. He reaches down and grasps her hand, leading her off to below the deck to hide there while they hunt… hunt for blood.
Halfway around the world at the same time, in a palace there sat a prince on his throne; there were servants and other advisers surrounding him, they were talking about a missing girl, Sakura.
"I need answers. And no one is giving them to me!" bellowed Prince Ryu, "I want her found now." She disappeared two years ago, he thought, and still no one has any news of her. With there being no trace left at all it is almost impossible to find her, she could be halfway around the world and I wouldn't even know! This is just like what happened twelve years ago with that prince, but I will not give up as easily as they did. I and no one else will rest until she is safe and sound here, where she belongs. By this time the prince was left alone to brood and think of other ways to find the missing girl.
Twelve years ago--
"Ryu! Li-san! Look at me!" squealed an emerald eyed girl as she was trying to stand on a rock in the ocean. Looking up Ryu, a nine year old tousled haired boy laughed at the sight. Picture it, a four year old girl trying to stand on a rock with waves crashing over her. Along with her pink swim dress, auburn hair, and big greens eyes full of determination. "Kinomoto-san be care full." Li yelled out just as she fell off the rocks in to the waves. "Sakura!" Li screams and runs out to save her. Running through the waves he makes it to her side; realizing his presence Sakura grasps on to his leg and pulls down. Now it is hard to make a seven year old boy fall being only four but, she won anyways due to the fact that a huge wave came upon them at the right time. The wave was three times as big as all of the other waves. Those who were on the beach and saw the wave stood up, some went rushing to see if Prince Xiao Lang and Sakura were alright, as the first people reached the water, Sakura popped up out of the water which had mysteriously gotten much deeper when the wave went over the area. Touya, Sakura's older brother reached her right after Ryu did. Touya grabbed Sakura and started to pull her to shore as one of the Prince's guards took him to shore as well.
"Xiao Lang! Where is Xiao Lang?" Sakura screamed. "Xiao Lang where are you! Did he come up?" She turned to her brother with pleading eyes. "He was pulled down. Something else was there! It took Xiao Lang! We have to help him" Sakura continued to scream, all the while trying to free herself from Touya's grasp.
"Sakura please calm down." Ryu pleaded as her pulled her from her brother's grasp. "My guards will make every attempt to find what happened to Prince Li Xiao Lang. I promise you this…
"You will make no such attempt for finding Xiao Lang." Wei stated. He had suddenly appeared during the event. "I know when and where he will return, you must not change destiny Prince Ryu. For you know the outcome like I do. Even though it is not what you want. But I will say one last thing, before Prince Li Xiao Lang returns…"
"Do not continue I already know as you stated. I do not need to be told again. Wei I am banishing you from here. Go now! And may I never see you again!" interrupted Ryu holding Sakura closer to him.
END OF FLASH BACK
"Everyday it's the same, find her this, find her that. Why will the prince not give up?" one of the servant hissed to another. "What can we expect" another answered "He was, no –shaking her head- is in love with her."
Why do they talk about her like she is no longer with us? A man thought as the group of servants passed him. He was on his way to see the prince hoping that there was any new news or clue that would lead to his sister's return. He was Kinomoto Touya, a samurai warrior and never could forget his sister, Sakura. Nor could he forgive the prince for losing her and not being able to find her. Two years! And still there is nothing. He too thought of the other prince whom had disappeared under very similar circumstances. Why do I always come back to that Chinese gaki. "No one ever found out what happened, and nothing has been said regarding him for twelve years or so." Touya mused out loud.
"It was never said that nothing was discovered when Prince Li Xiao Lang vanished those long years ago. You and those here might not know anything but, much was discovered and is still being discovered. So you see, not all hope is lost for your sister. "An old man said as he approached from behind Touya. It was Wei, someone whom he had not seen in years.
"You! Why are you here, what business of yours would ever lead to your return!" Touya nearly shouted at Wei. One of the last times they had seen each other, Wei had told Touya that Sakura would disappear for two and a half years. Also that it was fated that she and Xiao Lang would meet and be together.
"The prince will not be happy to see you Wei-san. He was not too happy to hear you predictions, especially how true they are become. I thought you were banned from here as well." Touya responded.
"Your Prince Ryu has no right to ban me and you know it! I have come here knowing that those whom he has employed to search have been unsuccessful. I have now come to give the desired information, Sakura's exact location." Wei countered.
The two of them were talking so loud that Ryu heard in the other room and came to see what it was about. Seeing that Touya was part of it Ryu became even angrier. "Touya! I thought that you would have learned what is and is not accepted in the palace!" Ryu roared as he came near them. "And who are you!" he said rounding on Wei now.
"I am Wei." He said simply "I am here to answer all of you questions in regard to Kinomoto Sakura."
"You have information regarding my daughter?" a brown haired man questioned.
"Yes I do Kinomoto Fujitaka. But I am waiting to learn if Prince Ryu will listen to me or not." Wei responded.
"If it deals with Sakura's return of course I will listen to you, Wei-san." Ryu hastened.
"Very well. She is in the Caribbean, on board a pirate ship. Though they are not like most pirates that I have observed. They seem to have the need to hunt, the need to hunt for blood. What Sakura and him do on board I am not sure. But, I do know this ship is one not to reckon with. They are on board the ---- captained by Captain ----. " Wei stated.
