This was the type of situation that he never would have imagined himself getting into. Both his wrists and his ankles were weighed down by heavy metal chains. His position within the dark and damp room was only supported with a single dim lit candle that was hanging above from a rusty old lantern, which from his prediction was on the verge of burning out of wax within the next 10 minutes or so.

Slowly, he brought one of his weighted hands upward to run through his dirty and messy hair.

Riku never would have pictured himself in this situation a couple of hours ago when he had been pouting and sulking over the fact that he was crossing the Traverse Channel towards Traverse Port Island to begin his cultural studies away from home that would assist him when he ascended to the throne from Prince to King of Radiant Garden.

Radiant Garden was a large country off the coast. The country of Radiant Garden also houses the island Great Radiant Garden and part of Northern Twilight Republic. Radiant Garden is also located direct across the Traverse Channel from Traverse Port Island.

Now, that was a thought of the past all because of pirates.

Pirates...

They had came so swiftly within the night, like a lightning strike precise and quicker than you can register. The ship had been invaded by a swarm of the sea criminals and he'd tried to take cover, but he himself knew that once the ship was taken over, there was no stopping them. He told them they could take all that they wanted, just spare the ship and the crew along with it.

Not that his words as a royal prince had any effect on the disgusting bunch of pirates.

He'd nearly been killed with a bullet to his throat when Kairi had cried out his name from the arms of another pirate where she had been viciously struggling from.

His identity as Prince had been disclosed instantly and instead of being shot, one of the pirate's crew commanded that he be spared. After that he was shackled, gagged and blindfolded onto.

Just like that, Riku VanSinclair had been whisked away from his Royal ship and onto the more unpredictable unknown ship of a group of pirates.

After the lad who had brought him into his room chained him up to the walls, and locked him had left, Riku found himself wondering about a lot of things, especially when he felt the ship begin to move minutes after.

He was probably the only from that ship still alive. Everyone else was probably dead. He tried not to think too hard about it, as the simple proposition that Kairi's lifeless body was somewhere under the waves of the Traverse Channel, was enough to bring tears to his blindfolded eyes. Not only that, knowing how dirty and ruthless pirates could be, his life would more or less likely ending somewhere near along the line.
It was all hopeless. Who would have thought the Prince of Radiant Garden would be left like this?

Time moved unbelievably slowly within the humid room. Every move the ship took, Riku could feel and though the waves outside had been rather docile the last he checked, he still felt massive nausea from the rocking that he was unwillingly focusing on.

He scowled heavily as he heard the chattering of men bypass the door in the hallway outward. When the voices and footsteps died off, Riku felt himself relax considerably. Though they weren't there for him, eventually someone would be. In the mean time, he turned his thoughts back to everyone else.

How would his parents react when they found out that his boat hadn't arrived in Traverse Port Island in the morning as planned? How would the country react? The sole male heir to the Royal family throne was gone. Might as well be accounted as deceased. His mother would cry, no doubt. Grief would rip at his father's soul as well. Both undeniably taking pain in the fact it was their decision to send him to France to study abroad.

Riku just wished he could somehow tell them that none of this was their fault. It was these damned pirates. These damned, selfish, better off fucking dead, pirates. If Riku had it his way, he'd guillotine all of their disgusting peasant asses a million times over and publicly humiliate them to hell and back. They were all so selfish. Nothing but a bunch of petty criminals looting ships and killing innocents.

Footsteps were heard from down the hall, rapidly approaching his door and Riku allowed his thoughts to dissolve in order to focus on the impending couple that talked from outside the thin walls of the room.

"Tell Axel I said thanks for getting all of that straightened out by the way. Christ, if I had been there I'm pretty sure all of them would have been tossed overboard by now."

A laugh was heard, further from the voice that was quite obviously by the door,

"Gotcha, Capt! Also, with all the silk we got, Roxas and I were wondering if we should keep it in the treasury room or your own private quarters."

With a bitter scowl, he knew the silk had been from his boat. The silk was worth so much and it was stolen by these unworthy pieces of filth like it was nothing.

"Treasury room is fine, Ventus Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an important date with a special someone."

The tone of voice from the speaker did nothing short but bring infuriation to Riku's blood despite himself. He did not like how that man was talking. It was too cocky.

"Oh? You mean the Prince? This is his room, isn't it?"

"Yeah. I've been too busy dealing with the other technicalities on the ship and I just wanted to spend the rest of my night with him."

"Well then, Captain Sora! Don't let me cockblock your game! I'll just be on my way to the treasury room now!"

A creak to the door sounded throughout Riku's ears, and the brunette stiffened immediately as he was tossed out of his thoughts. The door was opened, and the presence of another person within the room made the royal hold in his breath stilly.

Captain Sora.

That man outside called him Captain Sora..

Panic began to seep into Riku's body as he thought about this situation more.

The same Captain Sora that had invaded, looted, and sunken just about 1000 ships in a single year. The Captain known throughout the whole Radiant Garden isles as the Crimson Prince due to the amount of blood that spilled within the water whenever he robbed a ship. The Captain who was rumored to be the most brutal and deadliest pirate to ever dominate the waters of the world.

The infamous Sora Caeleaum, The Crimson Prince.

Riku was on his ship. Death was imminent no matter what he did.

More over prepared for something like a punch or slap to the face, Riku grunted lowly as he lowered his head toward the floorboards. He bit his bottom lip silently as he prepared for something like a bullet to the foot, though it never came.

Instead, he found himself stiffening as he felt a pair of hands at their side of his head.

In front of him, he could practically see the silhouette of the pirate as he felt the blindfold over his eyes loosen before being pulled away.

Riku's eyes were instantly met with light for the first time in hours, and the new face of a smirking, spiky haired brunette.

"Hmm… You have some pretty eyes."

He had to blink a few times to make sure he was processing everything properly.

This young man, literally young man was Sora Caeleaum?

This had to be a joke.

He couldn't have been any older than 17!

Riku himself wasn't so old, only 20 in fact, but regardless, this was the Sora Caeleaum? The pirate that struck fears into sailors everywhere? The coldblooded murderer of the sea?

You had to be fucking him.

"Don't touch me!" Riku instantly hissed while pulling his head backward, a glare focusing in Sora's face intently, "Don't you dare put your hands on me again, you filthy disgusting criminal!"

Seemingly unprepared for this reaction, Riku's mouth opened in the shape of an 'o' as he watched back at Riku, his eyes first brimming in confusion that was sharply over taken with amusement.

Riku grunted as he tried pushing himself against the wall behind him, his hands sliding on the wooden floor smoothly, "I demand that you release me! Right this second, you hear me! I will not remain captive to some child playing pirate!"

He had to keep firm in what he wanted.

Sora, however looked far from intimidated, in fact his smirk seemed to grow as he watched Riku plainly, "You know, even amongst pirates, when meeting someone you tend to introduce yourself. Here I was thinking that someone from the Royal family would have more manners than the men I deal with. Haha, some Prince you are."

This boy couldn't be serious.

He was mocking him.

Riku gritted his teeth, "Like I give a damn about manners! I don't want to be here! Unchain me and send me back to Radiant Garden right now!"

"All I want you to do is introduce yourself to me. It isn't that hard you know. Now stop shouting, I'm right next to you." Sora remarked with a shake to his head as he moved from squatting on the floor to sitting.

Seeing this as a sign that the two would be within the room for a while longer considering this was an act of getting comfortable, Riku inwardly cursed.

"If I introduce myself to you, will you release me?" He knew the answer, but it was worth trying.

Sora hummed lightly, his eyes watching at him slyly, "Maybe. Who knows?"

It was a hollow response because the both of them knew he wouldn't do anything of the sort, and if he did it was an immediate act of God on Riku's part.

Riku grimaced while averting his attention away from Sora's face, "I'm Riku VanSinclair, Prince of Radiant Garden and heir to the throne though I'm sure you already knew that." He tried to keep the higher tone of voice when speaking his title to let this boy know that even if he was being held captive, he was still of higher rank that him.

Sora chuckled, "You're certainly sassy for a Prince. More like a Princess in my opinion. But anyways, it's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." His tone was mocking and Riku wished his hands were free so he could knock the arrogant little shit in the mouth. The cocky smirk on his lips was aggravating.

"My name is Sora Caeleaum, Crimson Prince and Captain of this ship, the Kingdom Hearts ; though I'm sure you already knew that." Sora jeered out before his hand was caught under Riku's chin. The royal hardly had time to resist before his head was forcibly turned to face the young Captain who had an egotistical smirk on his face, "Welcome aboard my ship because you're not coming off anytime soon."

Shaking his head for release, Riku brought his eyes to leer at him, "Don't. Fucking. Touch. Me."

"I still need to go over a few rules that the Kingdom Heart has, as you seem to be a rather wild passenger." Sora shook his head almost pitifully as he began standing to his feet.

Riku glared down at the floor loathingly before he heard the curly haired man begin speaking once more, "But I'll tell you the first and most important rule right as of now, Princess."

Without warning, Riku found himself releasing a strangled gasp as his neck was pulled upwardly roughly as a cold and thick metal collar was clasped over his neck tightly by Sora as the pirate stared down into Riku's eyes as he bent downward at him, the captain's eyes filled with nothing but brutality that managed to put Riku's voice at a halt of all protests.

Sora let out a breath, more husky than before as he watched down at Riku stoically, "Everyone and everyone on this ship belongs to me, the Captain. It doesn't matter who you are or how you feel about it. If you're on this ship, you are mine. And don't you dare think otherwise."

Before Riku could even register the threateningly calm words into his mind, Sora released the rope end of the collar and stormed out of the room.

With his throat now left for open air, but the silver collar still over his neck, Riku panted lowly as he touched the tight neck piece. Squinting under the dim light in the room, his eyes moved to touch the rope piece of the collar Sora had been pulling before.

Again, he had to think with extreme bitterness and anger. Who would have thought the heir to the Royal Family throne would end up like this.

New story guys. How do you guys like it? Also warning this story will have ALOT of swearing and some sexual scenes later on. You have been warned. And to pronounce Sora's last name: It is Kale-Liam.
