SB/Kierra: Oh... We don't own anything except our OC's. How many do we have for this story?

SB/Kierra: Oh, okay. We hope you enjoy the story!

It was a nice day as a young boy about 18 walked down a street, he had blue hair and eyes and a light blue head band that kept his hair out of his eyes. He wore a dark blue vest over a light blue shirt with black pants and boots; and he had a green sash around his waist. He had a sword on his left hip and a pistol on his right; he also had a black hat with dark blue feathers. He was a pirate but not just any pirate; he was the captain of a pirate ship called the "Ancient Ronin."
His father had been the captain of the ship before he died six years ago, seven years after his twin sister had been taken away by another pirate named Talpa. He heard the sound of a fight which brought him out of his musings and thought nothing of it, fights happened every now and then and he wasn't going to get involved if he did not have to...that was until he came upon the fight and saw that there were three guys beating up a young teen about the same age as him, who wasn't fighting back. He stepped in and fought them off and save the teens life when one of the men tried to jump the pirate from behind, who spun around to fight him off when a large white tiger attacked the thug. The pirate was surprised by the tiger's appearance but it seemed that the injured teen knew the tiger.
"Good boy, White Blaze." The teen said to the tiger as the pirate turned back to look at the teen
"Are you ok?" the pirate asked him.
"Yeah, I am now thanks to you. I'm Ryo by the way." The teen said with a small smile.
"The name's Rowen. Come on; let's get you back to my ship. Your tiger can come as well." The pirate said as he help him to his feet before Ryo passed out, forcing Rowen to carry him as White Blaze followed them down to the dock and to his ship.
"Who is that, captain?" a member of the crew asked when Rowen walked on board.
"A boy I saved and his pet tiger. I'm going to put him in my cabin and I don't want to be bothered unless it is dire." Rowen said as he nodded his head towards the tiger.
"Yes sir." The man said as he walked off to let the rest of the crew know.
"Captain, do you want us to set sail?" another man asked as he walked up to Rowen.
"Is the cargo loaded?" Rowen asked.
"Yes it is, Captain." The man replied.
"Then yes, we can set sail." Rowen ordered as the man saluted him and walked off.
Rowen placed Ryo on his bed as White Blaze lay down under the table so that he was out of the way. Rowen tended to Ryo's wounds and had the cook make some fun for the two of them and to bring a large plate of meat of the tiger. When the cook came in he had a plate of raw meat that he had cut up into thick slices, which he placed on the table and left. Rowen took the plate of meat from the table and placed it on the floor at the foot of the bed as White Blaze came out and started to eat. The cook came back an hour later with food for Ryo and Rowen and shortly after he left Ryo came around.
"Hey, take it easy." Rowen said as he walked over and helped Ryo sit up.
"Where am I?" Ryo asked.
"In my cabin of my ship." Rowen replied.
"White Blaze?" he asked as was answered with a small growl and Ryo looked and saw his tiger at the foot of the bed looking back at him.
"He's fine, I had the cook bring up a plate of meat for him, and he just left not long ago with food for us." Rowen said.
"Thanks for everything." Ryo said.
"You're welcome. Come on you must be hungry, I know I am." Rowen said as he helped Ryo over to the table and put food in front of him; Ryo ate like an animal as Rowen ate normally.
"What are you the captain of? What is the name of the ship? Where are we going?" Ryo asked after a while.
"The ship is named the "Ancient Ronin" and I'm a pirate, we are going to Port Phados before heading to Port Dranzer. Port Dranzer is our home when we aren't out at sea, looting other ports or ships." Rowen explained.
"Can I join your pirate crew?" Ryo asked.
"Sure you can." Rowen said with a smile.
Ryo tells Rowen about his family history and why he was on the streets. Rowen told him that his father had been a pirate when he was their age and had been the one to build this ship. His father had met and married his mother who died after giving birth to him and his twin sister, whom had been kidnapped when they were 5. His father died seven years later and when he became the captain, he promised never to raid the Date family or attack their ship, since he and the youngest male Date where childhood friends, just like their fathers were.
While Ryo and Rowen were becoming friends, two other boys were also becoming friends in Port Pheados. One boy had sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes and he was the youngest member of a merchant family and is about 17 years old, his family made and sold pottery. The other boy had blue hair and eyes and was heavier than Rowen and was about 17, his family owned a nice restaurant and while both boys were out running errands when a group of men attacked the sandy haired boy. The other boy saw and jumped into the fray and saved him, the heavier blue haired boy helped the smaller boy back to his family's restaurant.
"Are you okay, Kento?" a female asked him as she walked up to them.
"Yes mother, but some guys attacked this guy and I stopped them." Kento, the blue haired boy replied.
"Well then, what's your name?" Kento's mother asked as she led the two boys to a table where they sat down.
"Cye Mouri. Thank you." Cye said.
"You're welcome." Kento said.
"Here you go." Kento's mother said as she put some food in front of them.
"Thanks." Kento and Cye said at the same time.
"What does your family do?" Kento asked Cye after they finished eating.
"My father died when I was little so I never knew him, but my sister says that I look just like him. She and my mother make pottery; we have a small store where we sell them. I help by getting supplies for them and I love to cook. What about you?" Cye explained.
"My parents own and run this place; I am the oldest of five. I take care of my younger siblings when my folks can't. I help them remove any person from here if they get too out of line, I also help by getting things for them." Kento explained.
"KENTO! Jay hit me!" Came a young female voice as a little girl no older than five ran up to them. She was a spitting image of Kento's mother.
"Easy there, Miri, easy. What did Jay do?" Kento asked as the little girl calmed down.
"Jay hit me, he was being mean." Miri replied as an older boy about 7 walked up to them.
"No I did not." The boy said who looked like Kento.
"Jay, don't lie to me. Did you hit your sister?" Kento asked the boy.
"So what if I did?" Jay asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Jay, you should never hit your sister, she did nothing to you. Go help mom and dad, Jay. Miri I want you to go back upstairs, okay?" Kento said.
"Okay." Miri said as she left.
"I mean it Jay; I want you to help mom and dad. I have company right now." Kento said.
"Okay." Jay said as he pouted and walked off.
"Sorry about that. Jay tends to hit his little sisters, being the oldest out of the four of them." Kento apologized.
"No that's okay, how old are they?" Cye asked.
"Jay is 7, Miri is 5, and Tabitha and Tommy are twins and they are 4." Kento said.
"I see." Cye said.
"Is your sister older or younger?" Kento asked his new friend.
"Older, she's married and they are expecting their first child, she just found out that she is 2 months along." Cye said with a smile at the thought of becoming an uncle.
"That's cool." Kento said.
About a week later in Port Dranzer a blonde haired teen with violet colored eyes about 18 years old, his one eye was covered by his hair, walked into a bar carrying a box.
"Hey, your shipment is here." The blonde haired teen said as he put the box on the counter of the bar.
"Good. Mia!" the guy behind the bar said.
"Yes?" a brunette female said as she walked over to them.
"Shipment's here show the lad where to put it." The man said.
"Of course, this way." Mia said as she led the teen away.
"How are you and Yuli doing, Mia?" the teen asked as they walked.
"We've been good, how are you and your family doing, Sage?" Mia replied.
"Everyone is good; we are just about ready to set sail next month. Have you heard from Rowen?" Sage replied.
"No, I haven't, not since he left two months ago." Mia told him.
"Oh, I hope he is ok." Sage said as Mia opened a door.
"I'm sure he's fine. You can put the shipment here." Mia said as she let him into the room.
"I know, I just worry about him." Sage said putting the box he carried down, as a little boy about 8 came up to them.
"Hey Sage!" the little boy said.
"Hey, Yuli, you behaving for Mia?" Sage asked the boy that Mia had taken under her wing. Yuli had lost his parents a few years ago and Mia had found him and took him to her place. She had let him come and go as he pleased and he helped her with things.
"Yes, can I help?" Yuli asked Sage.
"Sure you can, come on kiddo." Sage said with a smile.
"Cool!" Yuli said has he followed Sage out to the cart.
"Here's the last of it." Sage told Mia a little while later as he put the last box down in the store room.
"Good, come to the bar for a drink before you head home." Mia said.
"Thanks." Sage said as he and Yuli followed her to the bar and Mia made them drinks; Yuli had a glass of soda and Sage had a Kahlua and milk, heavy on the milk.
"It's on the house, when you get back home tell them Yuli and I said hello." Mia told said.
"I will, thanks for the drink, Mia." Sage said as he finished his drink and left the bar.
Sage drove the cart back to his family shop and found his mother and his two sisters in the store, his father and grandfather were nowhere to been seen. Sage and his little sister Kaylee had their mother's hair, both in color and thickness. His sister Nicole had their father's hair and eyes, Kaylee also had their father's eyes. He was the only one in his family that had violet colored eyes.
"I thought you would have been home sooner, Sage." Said his mother when she saw that he had returned.
"I was talking with Mia and Yuli, mother. Yuli helped me bring in the shipment and when we were done, Mia made us drinks. They were on the house." Sage answered.
"How are they doing?" Nicole asked her only brother.
"They are good. They wanted me to tell you guys that they said hello." Sage answered as his father and grandfather came up to them.
"Who said hello?" his father asked.
"Mia and Yuli." Sage replied looking at his father.
"Oh, I have news for you Sage." His father said.
"Really?" Sage asked.
"Yes, I happened to over-hear that Rowen had saved a young teen about the same age as you are and he took the boy and his pet tiger to his ship and set sail." His father said.
"Oh that's good." Sage said.
"When did this happen?" Kaylee asked.
"About a week ago, I believe." Their father replied.
"Ah, I see." Said Sage.
"So the next time we will see him, this other teen and the tiger will be with Rowen?" their mother asked.
"I believe so, yes." His father said.
"I can only hope the tiger is well behaved." She said.
