A/N: Konnichiwa Minna and welcome to my first fanfiction, a lot of stories have been going on through my mind for a long time and that was fanfiction, and finally now I can sit down and type it on my new laptop and actually write it for both my homework and my fanfic writing. While browsing through fanfictions I noticed that many instances of the dashing pirate Jack Sparrow and the heroic Will Turner have ended up in a modern time…or ended up in another dimension…But shamely not so much of our dear Commodore James Norrington. Lahara, a fanfic writer of the "The Lost Commodore" was the only one to write a James Norrington fanfic by making him being stuck in the 21st century, but unfortunately it didn't complete the story for only 11 chapters, it was actually one of my favorite James N. fanfics, But in order to complete my favorable fanfic, I will have remake the story and slightly change scenes, the plot and the character (Sorry Lahara ^^', but still Love your character BTW). After all it's time for James to have an Asian love interest, whenever I read the fanfics of James Norrington with a love interest, it's always the French, and British even Swedish. So now it will be a Japanese girl to have James as his love interest in the story.
Also my dear readers is that you will learn the great deal of Japanese culture and the hidden meaning and connection string into the scarf of mine. Some of them will be just of fun and silliness or soft yet sincere nods while most will be on an increasingly higher level that I placed with great intentions. If you find something very interesting to add on my chapters, I would gladly make a respectful bow to you. Please review, but no bashing, cruel words or vandalizing to my working story, I am very sensitive to my feelings so if you hate or disagree my idea of remaking this story, just respect my work and leave my fanfic alone. Enjoy this lovely and adorable fluffy through my mind and remember to sit back, grab your soda, juice or coffee then your snacks and Enjoy reading this fanfic and review :)
The title of the story will be "Parallel hearts", a remake story of "The Lost Commodore"
Disclaimer: I seriously yet sadly do not own Pirates of the Carribean, nor my cutie pie Commodore who leads the central stage of the story. I really can however, make him do whatever I want within my own fun ideas.
And also Keiko Asano is based on with the same name and singer Keiko Kubota, my favorite girl of the Kalafina ladies. (If you want to know all about Kalafina and their music, listen to their mixture of classical and pop music, it was so awesome and cool, I am so proud to be a Japanese and an American at the same time). That being said, Keiko Asano may be based on the original singer but her life and story belongs to me and Oh! She can do whatever she wants with the adorable Commodore Norrington.
Oh and one more thing…Please do not call me a stealer, I only wanted to remake the story and finish the fanfic story by Lahara (and I already asked permission from her by waiting for months) and besides I have stories that are all originally mine when I make a new fanfic story after my first.
~Biography of Keiko Asano~
Name: Keiko Asano (portrayed by Keiko Kubota with the same name)
Age: 21 (born on December 20, 1986)
Nationality: Japanese
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Brown
Lives in: Kyoto, Japan
Keiko Asano was an average college student that would come across at first to many students, another face in a mass of students in any school located in Kyoto City. She was an average looking girl with her long brown hair curls with straight ends to her waist and has a straight hime cut that people would think she's like a living doll but nonetheless was an average looking girl to passing glances, mostly since she never had the time to effort her simple yet pour into her looks as trudged towards to class. Her skin was natural pale, but clear and without a freckle, just a small beauty mark on the left side of her eye. Her features were a mixture of a fully Japanese and Victorian Lolita looks of her face and has a slightly large brown eyes that again looks like a living doll. Keiko's mysterious yet beautiful brown eyes were often yet hidden by them, and their lovely warmth seemed to bring some attention that she was unaccustomed. Whenever she had a break from her university, she would go to the music room and play the classical piano then practices singing on her own without other people noticing, her singing voice was deep yet powerful to make the audience feel awed and loving it at the same time and her piano skills were very impressive and pro like. She also made friends who are the classical band members of the group at the university and she was one of them, they've been friends since they meet in their first day at college.
When Keiko was a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a singer, but not a pop star or a rock star, but a classical singer and a piano musician. Her parents did not approve of her purpose, because as a royal member of the Asano clan, she has to take responsibility as the head of the Asano. The Asano clan was one of the noblest clans in all of Japan. After her parents died in a car accident, the council members of her clan decided to make Keiko, the heir of their clan to take place after she Graduates College. Having no choice but to sadly accept her fate to become the head of the clan rather than to be a singer she always dreamed of. She left her clan home where she will move to her own big yet a simple modern house, the council members of her clan accepted her to leave the nest for a while then after she graduates college, she will return home with her clan and take responsibility as the head of Asano clan.
This evening was her last finals, Trigonometry. Wearing her school uniform, she took a seat at the front of her classroom. Keiko was exceptionally smart, never having too much trouble in her classes, in her time with her clansmen, the family members of the Asano clan adored her and impressed with her intelligent skills, they think that she'll definitely be worthy as the heiress to their clan. Aside from her love of music, her fondness for art, science, history, and writing and even in English made it difficult for her to find a place to focus on her studies along with her energy. As a child this would bring teasing from the students and made her feel very isolated. She also has a very kind soul and is wise to her people, but can rather be stubborn at times. Keiko felt compelled to help others, even if it left her exposed or other would take an advantage of her. Having such an opening heart left her scared for over her 20 years of her life, but she never lost it along with her special light of dream and life.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh….. (Yawns)"
She slipped her hands under the pillow with her face buried in, curling up on the soft red leather couch. Keiko peeked up from the cushion and blinked at her reflection in the blank screen. She looked very bored and rather tired. It was no surprisingly really, that she had spent most of her time in daylight hours doing a length review in preparation for her test. Her eyes slowly wandered up to the DVD player with a stack of recently viewed movies next to it and mostly the movies were foreign American rather than Japanese, because she preferred to learn more about their American culture.
Her hazy mind slowly started to put the pieces together, far slower than it should be for someone. What better way to unwind then to watch one of her favorite movies of all time, Pirates of the Caribbean? As a little girl, Keiko enjoyed the idea of being a pirate aside of her status as a noble lady of her clan and her dream to become a singer. She even turned bed into a makeshift pirate ship of her own with her stuffed animals as her scurvy crew. She had even gone as far to tie a white sheet to an upright curtain rod, proclaiming it the "sail" of her fine ship.
Keiko got up and pull away her uniform coat and bag. It's seriously a very long day, and her last class was always unnecessarily hot, leaving her unnecessarily annoyed. One welcome shower later, she pulled on a white printed hello kitty T-shirt and a pair of pink hello kitty print pajama pants. Nana, her Siamese cat, meowed joyfully when turning around with her master's left leg purring at the welcoming sight of company in the bedroom. The fluffy adorable creature was satisfied with a soft stroke from head to tail but continued meowing her master for an attention.
"You poor girl… Must have been lonely with Oujisan and Obaasan not around and your Okaasan at school, ne?" Keiko sighed, referring to her parents and herself respectively.
She remembered when a police arrived at her home clan informing that her parents were killed in a car accident, The family members of the Asano clan mourned for their deaths including the daughter of the deathly couple who seemed to be mourning with sadness and loneliness for she was now an orphan, her family members and clansmen tried to make her move on and be strong, but still felt very lonely and sad until now, Keiko felt as alone and empty as the house did prior to her return.
Nana, purred at another stroke on her head to tail before Keiko made her way downstairs. She turned off the lights in the house, creating a faux "Movie Theater atmosphere" only far more comfortable. Curling up on the couch with a glass of cold lemon iced tea, she lost herself in a world of pirates and adventures as soon as the play button was pressed.
"This is the day that you will always remember as the day that y-"Jack couldn't finish his statement as he plummeted off the fort and to the water below.
Commodore Norrington along with Will and Elizabeth dashed to the edge, followed by a score of red coats, watching the pirate tumble into the water below. Gillette nearly sneered after a loud splash.
"Idiot. He's nowhere to go but back to the noose."
The group looked up and heard a loud cry proclaimed, "Sail ho!"
Emerging from the edge of a rocky cliff, well enough away from fort, a ship sailed a view. A Black ship with equally black sails. It was the Black Pearl. Jack let out a grin as he started to swim for it.
Gillette looked to the ship with his sneer fading, looked up to the Commodore, then back out to the approaching ship. "What's your plan of action?" He looked up to the Commodore once more, a bit more uncertain right now. "Sir?"
Commodore Norrington's eyes glanced back and forth, his emotions torn in every direction at once. Governor Swann watched him for a moment, sensing his indecision. So much happened for all of them within the past few days. He spoke up after a few moments.
"Perhaps on the rare occasion, pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy," He paused as James Norrington more than Commodore Norrington took this in. "Piracy itself can be the right course?"
Norrington slowly let a slight smile form on his lips as he looked down. He found himself again as his eyes watched the approaching ship. "Mr. Turner!" He turned his heel and approached the man he addressed from behind.
The young man faced him, Elizabeth taking his arm and holding him back for a moment. He pulled a bit closer to her, and spoke gently into her eyes. "I'll accept the consequences of my actions."
Will Turner returned to the Commodore, Elizabeth's hand holding his for a moment longer before slipping away from his arm. The Commodore raised his blade before the young man, his gaze locked on the reflective steel.
"This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same amount of care and dedication in every aspect of his life." Commodore Norrington finally met the eyes of the blacksmith who returned the gaze respectfully.
"Thank you"
Norrington lowered the sword and turned away with the other redcoats and officers and walked towards away from the balcony.
"Commodore!" Gillette cried out, gazing at his commanding officer in near disbelief. "What about Sparrow?!"
"Oh I think we can afford to give him one day's head start." He responded, raising his eyebrows a bit with a haughty air.
Keiko watched the scene played out, a smile on her lips. She had curled up on the couch once more, head resting on a few pillows. Her eyes were heavy with sleepiness and she wasn't able to fight it off much longer.
She closed her eyes, resting her hands under her pillow and whispered softly to one in particular with a soft giggle.
"That'll do James, That'll do."
