chapter 2 bonding with the crew

"Mai, tea" I hear the captain shout from his quarters. Already? I just made him tea an hour ago! How could someone drink tea that fast? Is that even healthy? I sigh and head down to the kitchen to make the captain some tea. It's been two days since I was kidnapped. since then I have managed to just clean the kitchen. When I walk in I see a man with long blonde sandy hair and eyes wearing a red bandana. He kind of reminded me of a cowboy.

"hi, my name is Mai" I say as I walk up to him. He looks at me and smiles.

"my name is Houshou, but you can call me Takigawa, Monk, or Bou-san."

"your a monk?" I asked shocked.

"yes! I am"

'WAM' Ayako's shoe came out of no where.

"QUIT SEXTUALLY HARASSING MAI YOU OLD MAN!"

"OLD, TRY LOOKING IN A MIRROR YOU OLD HAG"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN OLD HAG?"

I started laughing, breaking there argument.

"i-laugh-i-laugh-am sorry-laugh-but you two-laugh-are just so-laugh-" I couldn't finish my words.

"anyways, Mai what are you doing in here?" Monk asked eying me curiously.

"I'm making the all great and mighty captain some more tea. Seriously how can one person drink so much? And I don't think I have ever seen him leave his head Quarters to go to the bathroom to!" I say as I put the kettle on the stove and light it, now waiting for it to boil. Monk started to laugh.

"well then, why don't I try some of your tea and see what the big fuse is about?" he smirked, his eyes gleaming with mischief. I eye him wearily.

"i guess..." the kettle started to go of. I take a thick piece of cloth so I wont burn myself and grab the kettle, poring two cups of tea.

"does Earl Grey sound okay?" I ask, stooping the tea bags into the cup.

"sounds fine" he says watching my every move. I hand him the steaming hot cup. He takes a sip and his eyes widen.

"Mai, this is amazing!"

"thank you Monk" I say, a light blush on my cheeks. He sets the tea down and walks up to me.

"Mai, can I bring Captain his tea?" he asked giving me a pleading look.

"i don't know, captain is very particular about his tea." I say looking at the cup.

"pleaseeeeeeee" he says clasping his hands together.

"well, fine!" I say giggling as he jumped around in excitement. I hand him the cup and follow him to the Captains head quarters. He knocks twice.

"Captainnnnn, I have your tea!" he says mimicking me in a horrible voice. I started to laugh and covered my mouth. Ayako walked up next to me.

"what are yo-"

"Can I enter, Kazuya?" he said in the same voice, only trying to be seductive. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I held my stomach and fell on the floor laughing. Monk started battering his eyelashes and with one hand, pushed his non existent chest up, like a girl would. Ayako joined me on the floor and was laughing with me. The door opened and a very pissed looking Captain came out. But Monk did'nt let up. Lin walked by but stopped to see what the commotion was about.

"oh my Captain, are you ok? Do you want me to give you a shoulder massage you look tense. Here let me give you the tea with my lips." I was laughing so hard I was sure I was about to pee myself. I think the whole ship joined me and soon the ship's crew was full of laughter. Even Lin, was laughing.

One glare from the Captain made us all stop at the same time.

"unless you all want to go overboard, I suggest you do what your paid to do" everyone went back to work.

"oh and Mai"

"Hai"

"tea, but this time you deliver it" he gave one last glare and slammed the door.

"well isn't he charming" Monk said walking up to me, a toothy grin plastered on his face. I smile and walk with him to the kitchen to go make some more tea.

" you spent the whole day with that old man!" Ayako said, a shocked look on his face.

"Ya, he's really nice. He reminds me of an older brother" I said to Ayako, putting on my pajamas. Monk and I spent the whole day together talking about our life's and telling jokes and stories. He's really funny and nice.

"i think this is the first time, I ever felt like I had a family." a small smile left my lips. Ayako came up and gave me a hug. I felt tears start to come to my eyes. I look back up to Ayako.

"i wasn't kidnapped, I was saved. Because were ever you go or want to go, is were I want to go to."

Ayako's eyes started to tear up.

"oh Mai, I will always be here" she said, pulling me back in for another hug. She really was like a mom. No, she is my mom. I look up at her.

"the king wanted me to marry Fai of Goldencrest, that's why I left that night." she looked at me with a horrified face.

"oh Mai that's awful!" she said as she tightened her hug.

"he.. he also said that he never loved my mom, and that I was a mistake that he was fixing tonight." I started to burst out into tears.

'BAM!' the ship rumbled underneath us. We heard people yelling on the ship.

"go find the Captain and ask him for instructions. I got to go secure our treasure" she said, giving me a hug and shoving me in the Captains direction. I was in shorts and a tank-top, hardly appropriate .clothes but I go anyway. There is no time to worry about that. I wipe my eyes and I knock twice on his door and me opens it immediately.

"um" I say feeling nervous, considering that he was only wearing shorts, his shirt off.

"orders" I manage to spit out, my face a bright red that would put a tomato to shame.

"what's wrong? Not used to seeing good looking men?" he smirks. If possible my face got even redder.

I felt the ship lung beneath us, knocking me off balance. I close my eyes, waiting to meet the hard floor but stop. I open my eyes and see I'm inches away from the ground. I feel warmth just above my stomach. The Captain pulls me up and I spring away. He sighs. WHAT A NARSSACCIST! He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his quarters. It was a dark cherry wood, with a queen sized bed that had black covers. There was a desk next to it, covered with maps, books, and scrolls.

"what are you doing? And let me go!" I say, trying to get out of his grip. But he just keeps it and drags me across the room. When we reach the wall and the end of it he pushes in a piece of wood, and a small hiding hole appeared. Without a warning he shoved me in and closed the door.

"HEY! LET ME OUT" I started to pound on the door. I heard him sigh.

" idiot, were being attacked so if you want to get captured again, and taken away from miss Matsuzaki then I suggest you stay quiet." I look through one of the cracks. He is now dressed and has a sword in one hand. He looks directly at the crack.

"enjoying the view?"

"YOU narcissistic TEA ADDITCTED JERK!" he froze and looked around. We heard footsteps approaching the room. The door opened slowly. In walked a man about 18 with short blonde hair and forest green eyes. He was wearing white.

"Captain Coldwolf, how have you been?" The Captain pulled out his sword and smirked.

" I have been better" he started walking towards the man. "Fai" I put my hands over my mouth to hide my gasp. This is, well was, the man I was supposed to marry.

"so tell me Captain, were is the princess? If you give her up right now I might consider making your death painless." he smiled and walked closer to the Captain. Something inside me broke. I put my hand lightly on the wall and imagined Fai getting winded and pushed against the wall. And it happened.

'swoosh, SMACK' his back became imbedded into the wall. The Captain had a shocked look on his face but only for a second. Or maybe, I imagined it? He took a second but soon had his blade at Fai's neck.

"you are to retreat peacefully, and if you come back I will personally see to it that your no longer living."

"Fine, you win this time" he said as the Captain lowered his sword. Then he swung backhanded at him.

'cling' Fai's sword flung across the room.

"so, your unfair. What a shame I guess I'll have to kill you sooner as I thought" the Captain started to advance slowly. Fai's eyes shone with panic and he bolted to the door. Ten seconds later there were shouts of victory being heard. Finally! I just got it! THE CAPTAIN'S NEW NICKNAME IS NARU! NARU THE NARCISSIST! Naru opened the fake door and pulled me out.

"i want some answers on what just happened. Now" that's when I started to feel lightheaded. This is what happens after I use my powers. I started to sway and then I blacked out.

I opened my eyes to see the face of Naru. Only he was smiling. I tried to get up but felt to weak. He just shook his head and layed me back down.

"Naru, you should smile more often. It makes you look so handsome." he started to chuckle as I closed my eyes again.
