"Wake up, Momo,"

It was the bright morning of the following day, and for some reason, Momo didn't want to get up. Was it because sleeping inside a ship was so much better than sleeping inside a palace? She was hugging the covers tightly as if not wanting to let go. Her eyes were tightly closed, though she was awake and she could hear Toushiro's footsteps getting louder and louder. Softly, she felt his cold fingers brush her tangled her hair.

"Wake up, Momo," she heard him again.

She ignored him and tried to go back to sleep, though it wasn't working. The room was cold, and since she only wore a T-shirt, she didn't want to get up and feel the cold air on her thin pale legs. Confusingly, she heard him chuckle. Is he planning something? What is his plan? A cold shiver all of the sudden ran up her spine as she immediately sat up. She pushed the covers off her body and slapped his hand away from her as it was seductively roaming up her thigh.

"Pervert," she hissed through her gritted white teeth.

Toushiro raised an eyebrow as he stood up. "Well if you would've gotten up when I told you to, I wouldn't have touched you. Now get dressed and meet me outside."

Momo's eyes narrowed as she glared at him. "First, I shower in the morning before I get dressed, and second, I only have a dress."

"Bathroom is over there," Toushiro pointed at the corner of the room, "and you can use my clothes for now."

Momo sighed and waited for him to exit the room. Once he was gone, she skipped towards his chest of drawers and opened it. She looked inside and blushed, seeing what seem to be male garments for the first time. Her cheeks flushed as images of him in his garments arose to her mind. Closing the drawer, she opened the one under it and saw shirts. Swiftly, she searched for the smallest shirt, and best looking one. His shirts were all the same size, though she picked a grey colored T-shirt and navy-blue colored trousers. After taking out the clothes, she ran over to a small door on the opposite side of the room.

She opened the door and looked inside. A small bathroom was in front of her. Quickly, she entered and closed the door behind her. She wanted to bathe before Toushiro would suddenly appear in the bathroom. She knew that he wasn't going to treat her any different from his other crewmembers, though she was the only girl aboard and as every other male view her, she's pretty darn attractive.

Momo sat down in the bathtub as the water from the lower faucet came running down. Momo hummed as the cold water made contact with her petite body. She was glad that she wasn't bathing inside her home (even if she was disappointed that she didn't have her favorite brand of soap with her) since the maids wouldn't bug her during her baths about what to wear or to even hurry up. Hopefully, Toushiro wouldn't do the same to her. The princess sighed, closing her eyes, as she began to wash her face and body.

The water was actually fresher than the water from her home. It was cleaner and it made her skin feel better. Now, she just needs her soap and shampoo. Her mind drifted towards her mother and the rest of her family. She knew that her mother was worried, and because of her mother, Momo regretted escaping, however, as soon as her mind drifted towards her brother, she quickly changed her mind and was feeling glad that she did escape the prison. Her brother was probably creating search parties right now while she was relaxing inside a bathtub. Sighing, Momo got up and stepped out of the bathtub. She knew that she needed to get out before Toushiro called her for something.

She put on her garments and then Toushiro's navy-blue trousers. After, she took the shirt and looked at it for a while. She had forgotten her corset outside the bathroom. Groaning, she clutched the shirt tightly around her naked torso and then walked out of the bathroom. She sighed with relief as she saw that Toushiro, nor any of his men, was inside the room. Summarily, she ran over to where her corset was at and grabbed it. Though suddenly, she figured something out – none of her dressers were here to help her put on the corset. Just great, she couldn't go out without wearing a corset. It was very un-lady-like, plus it would be very uncomfortable.

Shrieking, Momo quickly turned around and met Toushiro's stare. Her face flushed as she realized that she was half-naked and he was in the room. The captain raised an eyebrow as he saw her clutching his T-shirt tightly on her torso as she held her corset.

"Need help?" he asked, almost seductively.

Momo's hazel eyes narrowed as she turned around, her back towards him. "Yes." She replied, but then added, "No peeking!"

She heard him chuckle before replying. "I won't."

Momo let go of the shirt, but quickly concealed her torso with her arm. With one hand, she placed the corset around her torso and once it was covering her breasts, she let Toushiro tie it.

"Not too tight please."

The captain, teasingly, tied it tightly, causing her to shriek in pain. "I said not to tight!"

"I just wanted to see your reaction."

The princess groaned, and as soon as he was finished, she put on the T-shirt.

"Come with me so I can show you what your first job is." He told her, tilting his head to the side, signaling her to follow him, and then exiting the room.

Momo groaned underneath her breath as she heard the word job in his sentence. The princess wasn't used to physical labor at all, and since she was around a group of pirates and she told the mischievous captain that she wanted to become one, she knew that starting today, she will start carrying things back and forth. They walked out of the room and outside.

Momo's eyes squinted as the sun's brightness gleamed on her face. She rubbed her hazel-brown eyes as she was beginning to get used to the sun's brightness. Toushiro led her to the middle of Hyorinmaru, and all the while, the crewmembers stared at her bewilderingly. Momo ignored their stares as she watched the crew pull some boxes from a burnt house.

"You see those boxes inside there? You're going to bring help my men bring those boxes into the ship. Work faster because once every box is inside this ship, we're going to depart from this country."

Momo nodded and swiftly, she began walking down the wooden board that led from the opening of the ship to the ground. She glanced at the boxes and to her horror, the boxes looked heavy. How was she going to lift at least one of them up? She saw that some of his men carried three of the humongous boxes on their hands like if they weight nothing! Gulping, she looked at one of the big boxes and placed her hands on its side. Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes tightly and tried to lift it up. However, it was no use.

She opened her eyes and looked around, seeing her comrades gazing and smirking at her. Her eyes narrowed and she glared at them. Just because the box was heavy didn't mean that she wasn't going to try. Ignoring them, she began to pull the box up but all of the sudden, she lost her balance because of the box's intense weight and dropped the box on the ground and fell back on her buttocks. The men around her began to laugh as her face flushed embarrassingly.

" 'Ay princess, why don ya carry dat small one ova there!"

Momo looked at what the pirate was pointing to and angrily, her brows furrowed. The crew continued to laugh as they laughed at the very small box sitting a few yards away from her. She wanted to show them that she could pick up the heavy box, but right now, that was impossible. The box was just too heavy and if she kept on trying, she would just humiliate herself even more. Moreover, her captain was yelling at them to work faster. Growling, Momo got up and walked over to the small box. Angrily, she picked it up and stomped over to Hyorinmaru.

She climbed up the wooden board and towards the entrance of Hyorinamru. She placed the box beside the other boxes. Turning around, she made her way back down to where the workers were. However, through the corner of her eyes, she saw Toushiro reading the map in front of him and writing something on it. He looked very handsome when he was serious, but suddenly, her eyes widened as she saw him look up and smirk at her. How did he catch her staring at him so quickly? Immediately, she turned her head away from him but suddenly crashed into something heavy. She landed on the floor hard as she heard a low male voice groan.

"Hey, watch where you're going you little bitch!" The pirate yelled at her as he kept the four large boxes from falling from his arms.

Momo opened her eyes and glared up at him. "Who are you to call me a bitch, you asshole?" Momo snapped at him, breaking the rule of young women using such foul language, though the pirate was getting her angry.

Suddenly, causing her to jump up, the man dropped the boxes and suddenly grabbed her tightly by the collar of her shirt. Momo screamed as she was brutally lifted from the floor. The man growled as he glared into her eyes. Momo winced as she felt his hot breath on her face.

"You better watch that little mouth of yours, princess. I don't care if you're a princess, and most importantly a girl, I'll beat you to death-"

"Kaitou, put her down!" the man adverted his hard gaze from Momo to his captain.

"But sir-"

"I ordered you to put her down."

The pirate growled and then glared again at the princess. Gently, he put the princess down and then glanced at his captain.

"Don't let your eyes off her, captain. You know how dangerous I can be." The pirate said, turning around and walking back to help his comrades.

Toushiro stared at him for a second, and then shifted his gaze to the princess. Momo lowered her head and got up, shuddering as she walked inside the ship.
