Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Pirate's of the Caribbean, or any of it's characters. There for i make NO money for this writing, it's simply for fun.
This is basically Pirate's of the Caribbean with a twist, and of-course SLASH! There will be lots of changes in the plot mostly because I'm adding Roxas to the plot but alot will be the same. Just some new things, and YAOI goodness.
Big thanks to Melanie for beta-ing. :) And everyone this is the NEW revised version of this chapter. Review.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me hearties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me hearties, yo ho,"
Sora sang, staring out at the deep blue ocean, his 8-year-old mind wandering. He'd always sort of loved the sea, it was a mystery. He loved the way the boat rocked when a big wave hit the bow, he loved how the sky seemed so much bluer when he was out on the ocean, but most of all he loved the smell. It was intoxicating smelling the open ocean; it smelled of freedom and adventures that were yet to be.
Everything that was the ocean was perfection.
Sora was shaken out of his peaceful thoughts as he felt a cold, raggedy hand on his shoulder. And he couldn't help but jump in momentary fright.
"Quiet missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters," Mr. Luxord hissed, his eyes staring intently into Sora's deep blue ones. He narrowed them briefly as if to make sure Sora was heeding his warning, then with a glazed faraway look in his eyes he spoke again, this time in a low whisper as if he were afraid to speak of it. "You don't want to bring them down upon us now, do you--"
"Mr. Luxord!" Leon called out sternly in warning, obviously not pleased at Luxord's bold comment. "That will do."
Mr. Luxord shook his head, removing his hands from Sora, and turned with no fear in his eyes, just noble respect. "He was singing about pirates," he said simply, walking towards Leon. "Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us stuck, mired in this unnatural fog." His eyes were so intense Sora couldn't help but believe him. "Mark my words," Luxord warned; his tone was even and cool, definitely not like how others treated lieutenant Leon.
Leon was a man of power, and almost everyone with a sense of what was good for them respected him. Heck, even he sometimes felt intimidated by Leon. But it seemed that Luxord didn't, and in some odd way he respected that. Luxord was a unique man indeed.
"Consider them marked," Leon replied coldly, looking to the side as he spoke. "On your way." The way he spoke and carried himself made Sora so angry; he acted as if he was the best thing in the world. As if he could treat those beneath him like trash that weren't worth his time or energy. And it angered him so much, especially as he watched Mr. Luxord nod and mumble a quick, "Aye, lieutenant."
His eyes followed Luxord as he walked away, making out some of the words he mumbled under his breath. Something about bad luck to have a woman on board, even a miniature one. And Sora almost giggled at that; he must have been referring to Kairi, his childhood friend who had insisted on coming along. Mr. Luxord always had the craziest beliefs. What was having a girl on board going to do? Surely nothing; it was probably just something to scare the lieutenant, though that probably didn't work. Leon looked anything but affected.
"I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate," Sora said, and as soon as the words left his mouth he wanted to take them back. He shouldn't have been so bold. Especially not in from of the lieutenant; the man scared him. And now he and his father were looking straight at him, furious expressions on there faces, but whether it was aimed at him or not he couldn't quite tell.
But instead of getting screamed at, Lieutenant Leon just smiled smugly. "Think again, Miss Swan."
He glared daggers at the man, not caring for his high power or his own fear. How dare he call him a miss? Just cause he had a bit of a feminine figure did not mean he had the right. Plus his father said that all little boys his age had his figure, that soon he would have the body of a man, a strong, independent, handsome man. And he had no reason to doubt his father.
"Violent dissolute creatures, the lot of them; why I intend to see that any man that sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves, " Leon said, talking loud and proud, walking up to him and standing to his left, staring out at the water. God how he annoyed him.
Leon turned to look at him, and smiled a cruel smirk more than a smile. "A short drop and a sudden stop."
Sora looked up at him confused, not sure what that meant. A short drop? What? Sora looked to Mr. Luxord, who was leaning in a corner, and shivered in fear as he made a hanging-by-your-head gesture. Is that what Leon intended with pirates, to hang them… by their necks?
"Captain Leon, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my son," Sora's father said, interrupting the conversation from going any further. He slowly walked up to Sora, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"My apologies Governor Swan," Leon apologized, not missing a beat. He nodded to the governor and took his leave, not looking back at Sora. He looked like he really didn't care if it had an effect on the boy. He didn't seem to like him very much.
"Actually I don't mind, I find the subject fascinating," Sora said, smiling up at his father. He would understand, he always did.
"Yes," his father nodded, and with a worried look added, "that's what concerns me." That said, he walked away.
And he couldn't help but wonder why everyone hated pirates so much, they weren't evil, just different. They had a different style than the nobles had, different traditions, but they weren't so bad. He had always been taught that pirates were ruthless, unclean, selfish people.
But to him it sounded like they were the opposite, they were more open-minded. For example, a person from Port Royal would never have a sip of rum just for the enjoyment of it… well a noble anyway. And to him it seemed like hey, if you need a drink, you need one. And also pirates were so free… free to sail the earth, go see places, exotic places he would never get to see. Because his life was in Port Royal; the only reason he was even on this boat was because his father never left home without him. But Isla del Mar was probably the only place he would ever be, and it was just like Port Royal, full of stuck-up people with no lives.
It was so unfair.
Sora shook his head; he had hoped his father would have understood him. Guess not. He sighed and slowly turned back to look at the ocean, it was so beautiful with its colors, movements, smell… and drifting wood?
What was that? Sora leaned forward, squinting his eyes to get a closer look. Was that wood? No, it couldn't be, wood wasn't shaped that way. Was it? It drifted closer and Sora gasped; it was a body.
"Look! A boy! There's a boy in the water!" Sora shrieked, a little scared. What was this boy doing drifting in the middle of the Ocean? Where had he even come from?
The lieutenant and his father shared concerned looks, and they rushed to Sora's side to see what the boy was talking about.
Leon's eyes widened, and he cursed. "MAN OVERBOARD!" he yelled. Quickly he ran up the staircase, Sora guessed it was to alert somebody. He wasn't sure.
"Haul him aboard," his father commanded nervously.
Sora watched frightened. Everyone was running around wildly, doing something or the other, and he was scared; he hoped the boy still lived. He watched, amazed, as they dragged the boy aboard, one of the shipmate's holding the boy in his arms. He carried him over to a clear spot on the floor, and laid him down carefully. Everyone seemed to crowd around him. Leon was the closest, and he put his pointing finger to the boy's neck and pressed lightly. Sora didn't know what he was doing, but if it helped then it was ok with him.
"He's still breathing," Leon informed them, answering everyone's silent question. Everyone seemed relieved, some even smiled. And Sora couldn't help but smile as well.
"Holy mother of god," Sora jumped as he heard Luxord's voice behind him. He looked at the man as he was staring intently ahead, and had a shocked expression on his face. Curious, Sora followed his gaze and he gasped, going into shock as well. Holy mother of god was right. There was a ship, burned and shattered; it looked like the devil himself had showered its wrath on it. It was destroyed from top to bottom; the pieces left were large floating parts of wood. And you could see silverware floating, and was that an umbrella?
Sora couldn't believe it, and apparently neither could anyone else. Because everyone was wearing the same look of astonishment on their face.
"What happened here?" his father asked; he looked terrified. Then again, his father never had been very brave.
"Most likely the pilot, this vessel was heavily armed," Leon explained, acting as if he knew it all. Sora could have rolled his eyes but he didn't. He just slowly walked towards them, standing by his father.
"A lot of good it did them,. " Luxord mumbled, looking into the lieutenants eyes. "Everyone's thinking it. I'm just saying it."
And he was right, everyone was thinking it.
"Pirate's." Pirates.
His father laughed nervously. "No proof of that, probably an accident." He sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else.
Leon eye's widened; it was like something snapped inside him, and suddenly he was giving orders. "Rouse the captain immediately, heave in, and take in sail. Rope the boats." As he said this he was walking away, straight to the captain's quarters.
"Sora!" He jumped a little; he seemed to be doing that a lot today, but then again today wasn't exactly ordinary. "I want you to look after the boy; he'll be in your charge, take care of him."
Sora just nodded and walked to where the boy was. He didn't mind; this was sort of exhilarating. He looked down at the boy, and he couldn't help but blush. He was really… pretty. He had beautiful silver hair that went down to his shoulders, and his complexion was smooth and white. His eyelashes long and thick, Sora couldn't help but wonder what color his eyes were; would they be a bright blue like his, or perhaps a dark brown like his father's were?
Sora's eyes trailed down to the boy's neck, and there he could see a necklace. It was beautiful, from what he could see. The other half was hidden under his shirt. Sora carefully brought his hand down and caressed his smooth white forehead, relishing in how soft it was. It really was ni--
He gasped as his hand was batted away, and the boy's eyes flew upon.
Aqua. The boy's eyes were aqua. They sure were beautiful; he couldn't remember ever meeting anyone with aqua eyes. He'd seen them in a book once… the flying Dutchman, the captain's eyes… oh, what was his name, Sephiroth or something. His eyes were the same piercing aqua. But of course the myth of the flying Dutchman was just that: a myth.
"It's ok," Sora soothed. "My name is Sora Swan," he said, smiling. He liked this boy, he was cute. The boy was gasping; he seemed panicked, and Sora noticed his eyes were closing, but before he shut them he managed to murmur out his name. "R-Riku Turner."
"I'm watching over you Riku," Sora murmured; he knew Riku couldn't hear him anymore. But he felt like it was the right thing to say. He couldn't stop smiling for some reason, and he looked over Riku once more, he sure was handsome. And he looked his age, but… he didn't have a girlish figure like he had, his figure was more lean and strong. And he was probably only 8, maybe 9. That wasn't fair.
Sora felt his smile falter as he noticed that Riku's necklace had fallen out of his shirt. And he couldn't help his curiosity. He picked it up; it was a long gold chain with a medallion on it. The medallion was simple enough, weird-looking designs surrounding a skeleton. It looked like a … like a pirate's medallion, now that he thought about it. Pirates always wore skulls, and this medallion had a huge skull for all to see.
"You can't be a pirate," Sora whispered in disbelief.
Oh no! What if? What if Riku was a pirate. The things Leon would do to him. He couldn't let it happen, Riku couldn't be a pirate! He'd just hold on to it; Riku would never know, and it was better that way, because then Riku wouldn't have to be hanged. Plus he doubted Riku was a pirate; 'probably just found it,' he told himself.
'Yeah, he found it, and kept it. But Leon won't believe that, he'll have him hanged before he can explain it. I'll just keep it safe for him. Hold on to it… hide it.'
"Has he said anything?" Sora almost screamed when he heard Leon's voice from behind him. He quickly hid the medallion behind his back and turned to face Leon.
"His name is Riku Turner, that's all I found out," Sora replied hurriedly.
Leon nodded and turned to his second in command. "Take him below," he ordered.
Sora just continued to look at the medallion in his hand as Leon left. A pirate medallion. Wow. It was so amazing; he never thought he would ever hold an actual pirate object. He sighed now, staring at the wreck; the fog was so intense he could barely see. But what was that… He could see black sails in the distance, but he couldn't be sure. Maybe it was his imagination running wild again. It seemed his father was right, he needed to control it.
He shrugged, and just peacefully continued to sing
"Yo ho, a pirate's life for me."
1. I plan on continuing it, though I'm not completely sure. I got the inspiration from of course pirates of the caribbean, i watched all three movies one day when i was on vacation and it was raining so yeah... It will basically the same as the movie just slash, and of course Axel/ captain Jack Sparrow will have a MATE woo! *cough cough* ROXAS! And yeah i have alot of ideas for them. And yeah Jack/Axel doesn't really have a girl in the movie so those parts will be added by me obviously. So continue?

I'd like to include in all my chapters (if i continue it) a little Pirates of the caribbean fact so hear it goes. || Jack.(the monkey) is seen "smiling" when Barbossa thanks him specifically after he returns the Aztec coin to him after Jack Sparrow chases him.
