The Voyages of a Couple
Chapter 1
I don't own Fruits Basket, I only own this story and the made-up characters.
Rated T for language and mature themes
The sequel to A Lovely Relationship and The Loop of Jealousy (wow it's been awhile) THIS IS GAWNA RAWK! You don't need to read the predecessors to enjoy this fanfic but it'll clear up ALOT of confusion.
PS: Fanfiction may contain excessive amount of randomness, romance, discovery, and piratey goodness.
PPS: I'm a non-gay guy, nothing against gays at all, they're fun, but I get accused too often :3
"Make a bloody selection Christopher-chan!" said a scronny adult
"Dammit! I want the right one! There's still pirates, even in these ages!" argued the tall blonde handsome adult, Christopher
"We have the money for any vessel we want, food, ammo, everything piratey!" called a chubby adolescent
"Now, now guys, this whole thing is for Nodoka-san, remember?" said Christopher
Nodoka, a short cute young lady with short glossy red hair and large eyes of opposite colors (red and blue) blushed. She was being held by a tall mature man, her husband. Trey. A tall man with short brown messy hair and a deep passionate love for Nodoka.
"How about that one?" said the chubby adolescent, Bastion
"Thats a warship dumb dumb!" said a tall well-built young man
"Im in for it!" said Christopher
"Now, now, just because your a cannontard and want to become a sea pirate after Nodoka's adventure, DOES'NT mean we need a warship now..." commented Horace
"Tell me that when someone's kidnapped due to lack of firepower" said Christopher
"Are'nt you safe enough? You got into it enough to get blades and a wooden vessel, I think we've token all the precautionaries we can" said a tall man resembling Trey
"Pleaseeee! I want to be authentic!" squelled Christopher
"Your money" joked Tristin
Nodoka was going on a journey with Trey and friends to find the other artifacts of the zodiac of the next generation, she was one herself, and so was Trey... And half her crew... What a boat of misfits! Thought Nodoka... But good misfits nonetheless, she giggled.
"It's settled! That one!" said Christopher while poking at a picture in a book.
"To look at it from all points of few, all I'm gonna say is, it's roomy, it's large, fast, has room for weapons for cannontard over there-"
"Stop calling me that!" interrupted Christopher
"Has good living conditions, and looks like it's sailable by seven master sailors... Slowly but surely..." finished Tristin
Everyone nodded in agreement with the wise man's points. They all decided, a schooner was their ideal ship.
"Roll-call!!!!!!!!" shouted Bastion
"Christopher!" said Christopher, a tall handsome young man with seductful red eyes. His dream is to become a sea pirate after he's done helping his good friend Nodoka on her journey to find the other zodiaz artifacts. He has no romance in his life, and he's decided to never love again after his girlfriend died. Christopher sported a spontaneous attitude with a hint of sweetness. He was one of the zodiac artifacts, the rat. He was going to be the owner and captain of the vessel they were using for Nodoka's journey.
"Anne!" said a cheery young woman with long glossy orange hair and large green eyes. She was tagging along because she just learned how to sail and had a crush on Christopher. She was a zodiac artifact also, the boar. She was going to help sail.
"Tristin..." said a the tall man who resembled and acted like Trey completely, only difference was that he was more humourous, wasn't a zodiac artifact, had a different spouse, and was a better sailor... And was Trey's father, that too. Please see Trey role call (Ha ha)
"Trey?" said a tall young man with black hair. He garnered an undying love for Nodoka, he literally would do anything for her. He was a zodiac artifact himself, the ox. He was going to help sail.
"Nodoka!" said Nodoka... I've already described her, what more could you want? Oh yea! She was the cat zodiac artifact
"Tohru!" Get out... Do you seriously not know Tohru? Of yea, tiny details, she's Kyo's wife and Nodoka's mother.
"Kyo..." same deal as Tohru, except he was Tohru's husband and Nodoka's father.
"Horace!" you know him... He sails, and had no romance.
"Bastion" he's Horace except younger and fatter.
"Timothy" copy and paste version of younger Horace. Still no romance.
"Finish the bloody thing!" yelled Kyo
"Taylor!!!!" yelled a short woman with long blonde hair... Tristin's wife and Trey's mother.
"Lame intro to the fanfic!" complained Christopher
"Good for new fans who didn't read the previous stories like our creator asked them to though" commented Tristin
"True..." agreed Christopher
"Who are you talking to?!" shouted Kyo
"More intelligent people" teased Tristin
"Gah! I'll kill you" yelled Kyo while running at Tristin
"Hey! Kyo-chan! Don't do this! Please!" begged Tohru
"Fine!" grunted Kyo
"What'll it be?" asked the clerk from the shipyard.
"Ahem" Trey got the clerks attention, he used to work at the shipyard, he could probably get us something free thought Nodoka
"Hrmm? Oh Trey-chan! It's been ages!" said the clerk
"Yea, it has, I'm with my friend to buy a ship, Christopher-san?" said Trey
"Oh ya! Shcooner please!" blurted out Christopher cheerily
"Yea, okay, you gotta pay up front" chuckled the clerk
"Done" Christopher pulled out a cheque, the clerks face went pale, he was never actually going to make them pay it all at once! But it is better this way, thought the clerk.
"Ya, alrightey, the guy around back will give you it, I've included all your special details free since I wanted to see Trey-chan for a long time" said the clerk
Christopher bolted out of the door before anyone even looked at the exit, he jumped over a fence to get to the back faster, he decided to get to the ship before anyone else and claim the captain position.
The rest of the group walked behind the counter like the normal people they were. Trey was carrying Nodoka, she had a cold and was a little bit sick. Trey was taking care of her. The group walked out the back door to see the lake filled with several enourmous ships, the group turned heads to see which was there's.
"That must be ours, cannontards on the mast..." said Tristin while walking over the the dock
"Oh Trey-chan! I'm so excited, I'm finally going to meet the new zodiac creatures! The ones we've met, I like alot." said Nodoka
Christopher was walking towards the dock while carrying Nodoka, he smiled at Nodoka to match her excitement. The group stopped infront of a large ship, they all climbed the ladder leading inside the vessel.
"Arr! Me mat-"
"Shadup cannontard, your not a little kid anymore" interrupted Tristin
"Wow look at it! It's huge!"
"This beast has three floors!"
"Cannons!!!"
"Fishie!!!"
"I can't wait till we find the next zodiac artifact!"
"Me neither..."
"Look! Beds!"
The group ran across the ship like kids with a new toy, even Tohru was looking around. Tristin layed down and leaned against the mast, he held Taylor and stroked her hair they were taking in the new scenery slowly.
"Can we go now? We have everything, food, ammo, the ship" begged Christopher
"Yea! I'm so excited, I wanna go too!" pleaded Nodoka
"Im in" said Trey
"Please Tristin-senpai!" begged Christopher
"Why are you asking me? It's your boat..." said Tristin
"Raise the sails!" shouted Christopher
Bastion, Horace, and Timothy all came to attention and raised the large white sails of the vessel, they filled and the boat started moving, but progress died due to the anchor being dropped.
"Raise anchor!" shouted Christopher
The men all tugged on the rope leading to the anchor, no one expected to start the journey so quickly, they were all brimming with excitement. The anchor plopped on board and the vessel burst with speed. Everyone was in awe at the speed of the vessel and the beginning of a long journey, Nodoka's eyes were wide, Trey was looking at her with care, he went to sit down and stroke her hair. She mewed, they lay there and waited for the sea and water to be all they could see.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Are we at sea yet? Or still lake?" asked Bastion
"Look around, we've at sea for hours now" said Christopher
"So we should beam reach the sails?" asked Timothy from the bow of the boat
"I guess" said Christopher
They're first destination was Jamaica, it was close, since Christopher lived in the Dominican Republic, which is where the group came after the years of aging.
"Trey-chan, I'm gonna go look around" said Nodoka while getting out of Trey's arms.
"Okay, I'll be here if you need me" said Trey while getting on a chair
Nodoka got up and started wandering around idly. She went to the
bow of the boat to see Timothy fishing, he was really good seeing as
he's been there for only an hour and already caught enough fish to
feed us all for lunch. It must've been his plan. She walked down the
starboard side of the boat and saw Horace pulling a rope to keep the
main sail in perfect harmony with the wind. She looked to the port
side and saw Anne making small talk with Christopher, they both
looked so happy together, maybe Anne will get her crush realized
thought Nodoka. Christopher really did look like one of the 1600's
pirates... What a kid thought Nodoka. She wandered around and
giggled. She went to the rudder and saw it cleated off, it was on a
set course to Jamaica. She looked around a little more and realized
it was nighttime. Her favorite time of day. Nodoka went to gather
Trey, she wanted to be held more and be praised more by the love of
her life. She sat in his arms and
lyed down. He stroked her hair
and hugged her close "I love you" he said.
