She-Pirate-2-

Prince of Tennis/Tenipuri story

One day, Sanada was sitting beside Yukimura. Sanada noticed how Yukimura's face changed when she saw Miko walked around the ship.

"What is it, Yukimura?"

"Miko… I really wanted to talk to her… she seemed so lonely…" Sanada knew Yukimura noticed how Miko's eyes lack of emotions and felt his heart grew cold.

"Her past must be too deep… Renji had mentioned she was found floating on the sea, before the dolphins saved her…"

"Poor girl… she's so young… she's even younger than Akaya."

"I know… she was like me…"

"But you changed."

"But she was worse, could she change like I did…?" Sanada wondered.

"Anything could happen… anything."

"I don't blame her for hating the mainland, she had countered wrong people…"

"I think she could change… inside of her, I'm sure there's someone who's waiting to be freed… can you call her for me? I want to at least talk alone with her…?" Sanada looked at Yukimura for a while before he nodded.

"If anything happened…"

"I know, I don't think she would do something as far like that." Sanada then nodded once more and walked out from the room.

------------

"You called for me?" Yukimura looked up from her lap and saw Miko walking into the room.

"Can I have a talk with you, Miko?" Miko looked at Yukimura with a raised eyebrow before nodded and sitting down on the chair the to the bed.

"Can I help you with something, Queen?" Yukimura shook her head.

"Don't be too formal, I don't think a pirate should be so formal."

"I'm not the same like others, madam." Miko said.

"I see that. But can I know something? How did you end up here, young girl?" Yukimura asked, noticed how Miko's shoulder stiffened.

"I'm sorry, I don't exactly remember. I don't remember any of my past except for how I woke up and saw the dolphins saving me and taking me in as their family." Miko said.

"I see… I'm sorry for bringing it up…" Yukimura said.

"Then… can I ask you something?"

"Anything at all."

"What… what does your kingdom look like?" Yukimura noted the curious glint Miko had in her eyes, like of a child.

"My kingdom? It was a very peaceful one, people rushing her and there around the markets, children playing happily… people sing, they dance, they work… and families."

"Last time I heard news of mainland… is that of war and killing… blood being shed, innocent people died in massacre. Ruthless people killing innocent families… innocent children…"

"That was long time ago, before our kingdom… and Seigaku's reign…"

"Seigaku Kingdom… one of the biggest kingdom there is on mainland… but, are people always that ruthless?"

"Not everyone, my child… people differs… they change… while some don't, and those who don't… will perish…" Yukimura said. Yukimura then gasped in shock when she noticed tears trailing down Miko's eyes.

"Child, what is wrong?"

"I don't know… but my eyes… my heart hurts… I don't know who my family is… my family is my crew… I don't know who my real family is… I'm tired… being a pirate is fun, but seeing people die, I can't…" Yukimura then placed her hand on Miko's should.

"It's alright to let it out child… keeping it inside is not good…" Little by little, sobs came, then the sobs turned into cries and finally, the cries turned into wails. Yukimura pulled Miko into her embrace and rubbed her back, soothing her.

"It's alright child… it's alright child…" Yukimura whispered, feeling her own heart broke, seeing the broken figure of the proud female pirate. When Miko's wails had died down, Miko rubbed her eyes and smiled a small smile.

"You have a beautiful smile, why do you have to keep it?" Yukimura asked.

"I… I tend to forgot how to smile… if it's not for the children… you could say they saved me from darkness… those smiles of their brightened my day, that's why I will die to protect them. I don't care much about being a pirate, the only thing I cared about… is protecting these innocent people on board…"

"I see…"

"Can you keep this from others? I don't want them to know… or to worry."

"Promise… and one more thing, anytime you want to talk, just come. I'll be here waiting for you." Miko gave another smile and nod before walking out from the room. When Miko had closed the door, Sanada came in and panics how tears suddenly poured out from Yukimura's eyes.

"Yukimura, is something wrong?" Sanada said, wiping the tears.

"No… but my heart hurts for Miko… she's still so young but she already experienced such…"

"The world is an unpredictable place… and the sea… is not a very bright place for a child…"

------------

"Hey there!" Marui jumped happily, seeing Miko walking alone on the deck.

"What is it?" Miko said, void of emotion.

"I was thinking, can I use the looking-out place? I've been itching to see the view!"

"Suit yourself." Miko said as Marui jumped happily and climbed the pole.

"M-Marui!" Jackal called worriedly.

"Hey, Jackal! It's great up here!" Marui said, waving excitedly.

"You should look after your girl, mister. It's not safe if she kept waving like that." Miko said before she walked away while Jackal was trying to get Marui down. Then Miko heard something that made her stiffen.

"Another ship is coming towards us!" Marui yelled before she jumped down. Miko looked at the distance before she scoffed.

"They never know when to learn… Men! Stay alert! The Rudolphs are here!" Miko yelled as everyone yelled out in anger, which made the Rikkai royals confused. When the ship Miko called Rudolphs stopped Yanagi saw few of their men jumped towards their side. Yanagi watched as Miko stood straight, with her crew behind her.

'They seemed to know each other.'

"Why hello, fancy meeting you again here, dear Miko." A man with wavy hair said.

"It's not my honor, Mizuki-san." Miko said.

"Why be so rude? I'm only here to greet you, now who do we have here? You have the royals with you? May I know why?"

"None of your business, parasite." Yanagi winced at the harsh word.

"My… why don't you get them to my ship? I'll bring them back mainland."

"And use them? I don't think so, I know who you are, Mizuki. Manipulative and sarcastic, I took them and I'm the one bringing them back."

"It'll be easier."

"Easier eh? Is that how you say to your superior, men?"

"Such words, and from a young lady as well."

"Well, try being in my place. And you'll know… how no one dares to mess with me and my crew. Haven't you learnt what happened last time?" Miko said, drawing her blade.

"Very well then, as you wish, my lady." Mizuki said, retreating to their ship as Miko's men cheered. Miko is very brave for acting that way, Yanagi thought. Then Yanagi caught the young prince looking at Miko's triumphant smile in awe and chuckled.

"And it seemed someone's in love." He said to himself.
