A/n-- Alrighty! Here's the next bit of my little story! I hope you enjoy it!

Jounouchi: Hey! Why aren't you working on our story??

Me: Yours already has 6 chapters, sweetheart, and if you don't go back now I'll lock you in Naraku's tower, surrounded by his miasma. How's that sound?

Jounouchi: (sigh) you can be so mean sometimes, you know that? (Walks away sadly)

Me: don't worry, you'll thank me later! (Jounouchi disappears from sight) sorry about that, my loyal readers. That was a wolf demon from 'Animal I Have Become'. Just ignore him, and his brother, Renkura, if he decides to show up. They can be a jealous pair. Anyhow, on to this story, as it is in the foremost of my thoughts at the moment.

Part 2

The 'Pearl moved slowly, but on it's' deck, the crew were as lively as an ant hill. The approaching Marauder, as she was called, also looked like an ant hill, with ants twice the size of normal ones. Jack watched the ship through his spyglass, trying to decide between fleeing and fighting.

The question was put out of his thoughts when a sailor called, "Man-er, woman over board!"

At first, Jack thought Anna Maria had been swept off deck, but found she was, once again, snatching the spyglass out of his hands.

"Shouldn' you be over there, wi' the other pulling the poor lass on board."

"No. you go. I'll keep an eye on the Marauder; you can hardly stand as it is."

Jack grumbled something completely inaudible as he made his way toward the crowd that had gathered around the new passenger. He pushed his way through the crowd in annoyance.

"Get back to work, you lazy dogs!" he yelled, clearing the area almost instantly. The girl who had been pulled aboard was leaning on the rail, wringing the water from her golden hair. She wore old, tattered white trousers and a torn red shirt that no longer covered her stomach.

"I hope you don't mind the intrusion, Captain, but I was rather short of choices with those other pirates." She said, flinging her hair over her shoulder, spattering Jacks face with salt water.

"As long as you pull your own weight, I don' mind."

She nodded and smiled at him. "So, what do I do first?"

-:-:-:-:-

The Marauder's crew was having nothing less than hell from their Captain. While they scurried around the deck, getting all the preparations for battle completed, the Captain hollered orders at them.

"Kill the crew, steal their cargo, I don't care as long as I get the girl!!!!"

A/n--ahh….finally some violence…of sorts. I'm looking foreword to the next chapter as much as you are!

Renkura: Are you coming back to us now?

Me: do you remember what I said earlier?

Jounouchi: (starts dragging Renkura away) no worries, Sky, I've got him!

Chick from this story: Wow…how'd you come up with these guys?

Me: (pats girls arm) I have no idea, honey.
