Hey guys, it's DanceWithFrance!

This is my first ever fanfiction based on Hetalia, so please excuse me if I made any mistakes in the story!

I got this idea from a dream I had gotten the other night, so I might be able to update quicker than expected at some times, probably on the weekends.

I hope you enjoy!

And before you leave the comforts of this fanfiction, check out my other fanfics if you're a fan of Dragon Ball Z or teen romance stories! Now, let's get reading!

"Ah, screw this."

A girl in her teens with messy, short brown hair and dark-brown eyes kicked at the sand, her hands dangling at her hips. Her lips were perked annoyingly, and she ignored the sandstorm she had made around her.

"Why do they have to be such idiots?" the girl asked herself, kicking at a lodged rock in the sand. The ocean tide was high, and the waves touched the tips of her bare feet. There were obviously other people on the beach besides her, but she didn't seem to care. They won't even know why I'm here, so like they would care, she thought.

As the girl looked up, she grunted as a long sword was pointed to her neck. Blood dripped from her neck. The sword's edge had lightly cut her neck. "W-What the…?" she said.

An older teen was towering over her: he was the one that had pierced the sword on the edge of her neck. He was wearing a black pirate hat with golden rims and a red-and-black pirate uniform, with a white dress shirt underneath. He also had an eye patch on his right eye, which stood out when he would look at the girl.

"At last we meet, Saki Imazuki," he said, smirking. He pushed the sword higher up Saki's neck, her chin lifting and the blood trickling down his sword.

"H-How do you know my name?" Saki demanded. "And who are you?" She darted her head around to see if anyone saw the pirate dude, but the people lounging on the chairs and the kids playing in the water and sand had disappeared. Saki squeaked as her head was turned back to the pirate by he himself, his black, gloved hand gripping her face.

The pirate chuckled, letting go of Saki's face. "I know everything, Imazuki," he replied, locking his emerald-eyes on her brown. "And I'm quite surprised you don't know me. I'm Captain Arthur Kirkland, and I'm here to take you captive."

Saki's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked away from Arthur. Captain Arthur Kirkland? Isn't Kirkland, like, a food brand? She glared back up at him, keeping her gaze away from the sharp weapon pointed to her throat. "You're kidding, right?" she asked him. "You're just cosplaying!" Saki gave a nervous laugh, but by the fact that "Captain" Kirkland had a real weapon in his hands, he probably wasn't kidding.

"I don't know of this 'cosplaying' you speak of," Captain Kirkland said, leaning towards Saki. He thrust her arms towards him, handcuffing them. "And I never kid around." He took her by the handcuffs and brought her towards the water.

Saki stared at Captain Kirkland furiously, attempting to pull the handcuffs off of her hands. "Where are you taking me? What the hell did you handcuff me for?" Shaking her handcuffs harder, she flinched at the sudden touch of her feet with the ocean water.

Captain Kirkland smirked at her. "Wait 'till you see the others," he told her, the water from the ocean splashing quietly on his tall, black boots. He looked forward and away from the ocean, like he was waiting for something.

Saki clanked her handcuffs together. "O-Others?" she stammered, her voice going low. If there were other uncanny people like this captain, then she'd be screwed!

Captain Kirkland nodded. "They're over there." He pointed with his gloved hand to a large pirate ship not too far off the shore, coming directly towards the two. The ship had a white flag with a black skull on it. It was strange, obviously since the skull on the flag seemed to have bushy eyebrows like the captain.

Okay, so I guess Arthur wasn't kidding, Saki thought, looking down at her cuffs and once more pulling on them. They didn't budge. They probably wouldn't for a while. She stared at the pirate ship once more, and she stared at it in awe as it skidded to a stop in front of Captain Kirkland and her. A hinge unlocked, and a door flew down.

"Get in," Captain Kirkland said to Saki, shoving her forward and towards the opening on the ship. He smirked as he saw her glare at him, enjoying the fact that she had already begun to hate him. The hinge door swung shut behind them, and Captain Kirkland led Saki to the stairs and towards a light.

Saki's face went white, beginning to think how Captain Kirkland's pirates would torture her during her captivity in the ship. Would it be like that scene in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? T-This can't be right… she thought, squinting at the light from outside. "Eh?"

Saki gaped at the sight of the deck she had not expected. Instead of being a bucket load of shit, the wooden floors were swabbed clean, the crow's nest had not a bit of grime on it, and even the pirates weren't so bad in their appearances.

Captain Kirkland pushed Saki farther forward, and the nearby pirates made a circle around the two.

"Who's the lass, Captain?" a voice behind Saki said.

"Is she the girl we've been looking for?"

"Why the bloody hell is she here?"

Captain Kirkland raised his black-gloved hand for silence, his lips in a sly smile. "We have finally caught Saki Imazuki!" he yelled for the crew to hear. "And now, she is here in our presence!"

An outburst of cheers erupted through the crew of pirates, and Saki looked around in surprise. Were they happy to capture her? No, that can't be right. She was just a ragged 16-year old, nothing else!

The ship trembled slightly, and Saki flinched as it began to move. She looked back over to the beach, which was getting smaller and smaller as the ship began to move forward. Where were the tourists that could have possibly helped me? she thought, walking over to the prow of the ship. Saki noticed that Captain Kirkland followed her, taking out a small key and removing the handcuffs from her hands.

"I don't think a girl like you could swim out back to shore this far, especially with a cut on your neck, so it's best I take these off," Captain Kirkland told her, putting the handcuffs and the key in his pocket.

As soon as the handcuffs were taken off of Saki's wrists, she felt the urge to punch Captain Kirkland across the face. She only clenched her fist, glaring at him. After all, he was the "captain" of this pirate crew, and she thought that she would be walked off the plank if she harmed Captain Kirkland in anyway. Summing up her courage, she asked, "Um, Captain Kirkland, how long will I be held captive?" Sure, she had run away from home and gone to the beach, but she didn't know she was actually going to be captured and brought into a cosplaying madness of pirates!

Captain Kirkland smiled darkly at her, crouching to her level due to his height from his boots. "You'll be staying here for quite a while, young lady," he whispered. His breath smelt like some alcohol, but it didn't seem to smell bad to Saki. It smelt... good for a pirate like Captain Kirkland.

Snapping out of her reverie, Saki gritted her teeth together. "But… what about my family I left behind?" she asked, keeping her temper and blushing level. Couldn't he at least not stay nose-length away from me? she thought as he pushed her to the edge of the prow. Saki gasped as she looked at the ocean water hitting the edges of the ship, spraying mist around the two.

"What do you mean family?" Captain Kirkland said, chuckling. "We're your family now!"

Saki felt hot tears going down from her eyes to her cheeks, and she shoved Captain Kirkland out of the way. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yelled, stomping off. She wiped her face with the palm of her hand, pushing through two pirates that were talking with each other.

I miss everyone now… I shouldn't have run away, Saki thought, running up three wooden stairs and toppling over, sobbing beside the Crow's Nest. She could feel people casting glances at her, but she didn't care.

All she wanted was to go home.
