That night the thunder of disturbance clouds would wake the pirates up many times and by morning everyone was in a foul mood. Even Lirit was to be found to snap bitterly but no one took notice of this fact, they were too busy talking about the 'howling' they heard. Lirit walks on the deck mopping up and humming from a parchment as she goes, everyone but herself scatters when the captain makes himself known.
"did you hear howling last night?" the boss enquires staring at her, Lirit blinks then glances at his sleep deprived eyes; Constance had looked like she had gotten complete sleep.
"no Sir Captain, just the thunder. Perhaps it was the wind hitting the ships walls" she reasons knowing full well there was no wind in space while watching the captain stare at something in her pocket, the orb; crap he had seen it.

"what is that?" he enquires watching Constance push her white trench coat over it horridly fast.
"what is what, Sir?" she smiles innocently but he just glares making it drop to worry, slowly she pulls out the orb and holds it tightly in both hands. It used to be small but had gotten bigger over the years to accommodate her two pets, the captain stares at the black orb that holds two red mists swirling inside.
"I call it nibbles" she speaks trying to kill the silence, Kakuzu rises his brow at the name. "don't ask, I could never remember why I called it nibbles" she laughs about to put it again but his hand stops her.
"…where did you find that" his eyes staying glued to the orb, he had probably started planning a way of stealing it from her later.

"when I was little…the man told me it was bad luck but so far its given me good luck" she smiles rubbing it gently in her gloved hand, the red starting to glow a little brighter and run against where her fingers rest on either bottom or top of the orb. Captain Kakuzu stares at her accusingly for a moment longer before turning on his heel and leaving, Constance sighs sweet relief and smiles at the orb before stashing it away inside her bust of the corset; good luck to him getting it now.
On inspection he see's the orb has been re-hidden from sight, some kind of disappointment was in his eyes that he couldn't mention anything that could possibly let him take it. Lirit gives a short breath of relief that he catches making him rise his brow, everyone else's eyes widen. Big mistake to seem relieved that he hadn't saw something during the inspection. Kakuzu looks her up and down and glares suspiciously, eyes shooting to the corset's bust and then his eyes fizzle at the acknowledgment of where she had hidden it.

"Lirit, where is the orb…" her eyes become panged with panic as she looks for an excuse.
"I left it in my room, I wouldn't want it getting broken. Sir Captain" the captain glares then becomes more questioning.
"why do you seem guilty of something?" Lirit tenses up then shifts her eyes to look at the crew then back, she gives a large grin then rubs the back of her head unsure of what to say.
"I hadn't brushed my hair, Sir Captain. I didn't want to look scruffy" they looked at her hair, it always looked wavy and neat; what difference did brushing actually have for it?. The captain raises an eyebrow then shakes his head and leaves afterwards, Constance could feel her knee's buckling under the pressure. Finally escaping she goes to wash anywhere where people would not be, behind the crates where the space dust were at their peak, perfect.

Pressing against her bust she checks her cleavage to see the two red orbs staring back up at her, she smiles sweetly. "sorry, I know you don't like it in there.." leaning against the box and picking at the wood she sighs heavily. "man I'm bored, I miss going out on my board. Haven't eaten yet either…I'll have to wait till they finish eating as usual before I go down. I learnt from last time about eating around them on soup day…" she shudders at the thought while prizing one of the globs that had crusted from the Kraken off from the planks in a clump.
"if the captain has a pet, do you think I can have one?" both red mists start to spin as she laughs. "I mean you guys obviously! I think two of you is enough to keep under control…" both seem to settle against the walls, they could probably feel the orb's warmth because of her body heat. They had been hidden ever since she was captured and let out to eat when no one was any wiser, it was just like being on her old ship. No one knew about her secrets and that was just fine with her, less they knew the less they had against her.
"wonder what I could do to negotiate a pet plan?" she mumbles peeking up over the creates to make sure no one was close by, leaning back down she starts to murmur to her self in thought. "maybe a deal? A race? His ship against my board" she grins at the thought then freeze's when the light over her darkens, towering over her head stands the captain. "Captain Sir! I wanted to ask you something" she jumps up, perhaps too enthusiastically making him wince secretly at the sudden reaction.
" see, I saw you had the Kraken…and that bird thing" blinking she smiles but the captain glares, obviously others have already asked this before but he says nothing. "is there anything I can possibly do to get my own pet?" she enquires while the eyes narrow further and furrow.

"what…kind of pet?" his eyes stay narrow while the smile gets even bigger.
"only a pair of lizards about this big" she places her hands together to aim about the right length of Tobi from nose to tail. "there very good, house trained, don't eat a lot, and come with their own easy carry cage" she smirks explaining it all slowly, Kakuzu glares before something shifts in his eyes. "besides, I'm good with pets. I'm good with the Kraken…and Hidan" the Captain couldn't help but smirk lightly at the comment about the Jashinist, Hidan who had appeared close by wasn't very impressed on the other hand and scowls.

"pets cost money" the Captain finally states but she raises her hands and waves them from one side to the other.
"these pets are free…wont cost a penny. They'll be eating from my plate so there wont be a difference in anything" the emerald eyes glint at the sound of 'free', compared to all the other pets suggested this was basically the cheapest he'd ever heard.
"what's the catch" the eyes turn back to an accusing scowl but Constance's ice blue eyes stay as innocent as before.
"depends what I have to do to keep the pets" she bargains in a way of telling him the punishment for keeping them was of his own accord, hand lifting up to think of something to use against her.
"give me the orb and the pets are yours" the girls smile is removed into another guilty looking expression.

"ah…well I can't give you the orb but…I could give you money?" the captains eyes shimmer with something else while he contemplates it then shakes his head and then turns to leave.
"no orb, no pets" the pirate's eyes shift to a saddened expression, slumping back down she sighs and looks back down at the orb.
"looks like you're staying like this…" pulling it out she rubs it in her arms then cuddles it closely to her self. "c'mon, lets get something to eat" she places it back and heads to the kitchens to find what ever is left, the chef had gotten used to her coming in after everyone else left and was happy enough to let her sit to a corner quietly eating. Bits of bread disappearing down her chest from the corner of his eye, he had caught her doing his many times but didn't question her strange behaviour; strange was her middle name as far as they all knew.

Licking her finger tips she goes to her room with both lizards on her shoulders, they knew not to make a sound or leave herside unless in the room. Locking it when inside she puts them on the bed, Tobi starting to bounce on Madara while he makes warning snaps for him to stop. After a fast showering she puts on her radio to play some music to drown out her rolling round with Tobi on the mattress while the other brother watches while staying perched on her coat upon a small desk chair. Lirit had designed the room to look like her old room which felt like home to her, both lizards running up her nightdress when someone knocks on the door.
Squirming at them climbing on her she puts them in the orb and wraps her gown on quickly, poking her head out she glances at the captain but it couldn't have been the noise; if it were that he would have complained already.

Backing off he enters and shuts the door with a strange expression, an expression she hadn't seen before. "Captain Sir?" she makes her voice concerned but she knew to be wary, its not normal for anyone to come knocking at her door at this time of the night; at least not the captain anyway. Standing in silence the radio blurts out [Addicted by Saving Abel] making her gasp and blush in embarrassment, Kakuzu's eyes now piercing and expectant. He isn't at a vacant expression any more. His breathing has quickened, that strand of hair is in his eyes again. Lirit wants to brush it back but she is unable to move, frozen on the spot as he walks towards her. She knows what is going to happen as she backs away towards a wall, tripping over the odd boot but before she can react he has already pushed her back against the steel wall.

The cold sears through her cotton top and prickles at the backs of her bare legs, he presses against her, the warmth of his body forcing back the cold, melting the last shred of resistance. His hands are on her head, delving into Constance's fiery locks, grasping and pulling urgently. His face is against hers now and she can hear the buzzing, louder than ever as he kisses her now, long and hard and salty. It didn't feel so wrong now as its started, the communication lines between her brain and body have been cut, the voices inside her head fall silent. There is nothing left to stop her doing what she wants, what suddenly feels right. Lirit tugs at his shirt, pulling it out of his trousers, feeling him flinch as her cold hands slip on to his bare back finally touching skin. Kakuzu undoes the top few buttons and pulls it over his head, peeling back the layers between them.

"you turn" he whispers while Constance takes off her top, he unfastens her bra and lets it drop to the floor. The green eyed male bends down, kissing her breasts, using his tongue, circling, flicking. Both breathing hard now, running her fingers down his spine she finds that the small of his back is damp with sweat. He turns her round and presses Lirit up against the cold metal of the wall making the red head gasps while he smirks before turning her back and licking each erect nipple in turn, the hammering inside her head was getting louder, connection restored but she ignores it.

Kakuzu takes his trousers, socks and boxers off and turns to face her, he was one of those rare men who looked even better without clothes.
"come here" he demands while beckoning with his index finger, Constance lets her PJ trousers drop to the floor as she steps out of them and walks towards him in her knickers.
"I want to fuck you" his eyes tell her that he means it as his arms slip around her hips and slide under the pants hem allowing him to slip them off. He pulls the woman up close to him with a face showing hunger and eagered need, against her ear she can feel his breaths; warm and rapid, his fingers, deft and fast. Constance turns to face him, their kissing becoming rough, her hands working quickly down his body before he pulls her down onto the bed, lost to him. It is over just as fast as it started as he drops down onto the side of the bed allowing the red curls of Constance's hair to flow over both of their sweating bodies, the young pirate takes her chances.

"does this mean I can have a pet?" her eyes look up at him with hope, he only opens one eye then looks at her naked body; the grin bursting up on his face.
"if you're willing to satisfy your captain when ever he wants it" Lirit glances down at her body then back at him, a devious smile appearing, one that takes him by surprise as she slithers up and onto him. Lips close to his own but don't move to touch, foreheads pressed together while she just stares into his eyes before shifting to lay back down happily snuggling him.
"I'll take that as a deal" his hand moving to fondle her breasts again and before long they were tangled hot flesh once more, the needed contact Kakuzu hadn't been given without force in years given to him without any refusal.

It could be seen in Constance's eyes that she didn't want him to leave but she could sense the fatal words coming as he gets dressed and then turns to glance over her panting body. The only woman he had ever met that can still look beautiful the way he had left her, closing the door he looks around then swiftly leaves. In the morning Lirit strides out for inspections and after it she has the small talk with Kakuzu.
"where is it that they sell these, lizards?" he enquires but Constance just smirks and pulls out the orb from before, his eyebrow furrowing to stare at it then at her as she twists it tightly. A crack and line of fracture in the once perfect orb makes him seem worried for the expensive looking items value, inside the orb is a miniature lake of water that is black and still.
"meet Tobi and Madara" she smiles as out from the rippling water creep the two lizards that cuddle into her neck at either side and hiss in gratitude at the sweet air of escape, the captains face drops as he tries to control the anger of being tricked by the woman all along.

[Hi! ^_^] Tobi squeaks at the captain taking him back, Madara shakes his head then glances at the captain when Constance glares for him to be polite. [Hello -.-] one smiles while the other seems emotionless yet glaring.
"told you Captain Sir, house trained" the woman smiles bowing and leaving to clean the deck with her pets taking their tails in each others and shaking in a smug solemn of victory.
"...'he's a true pirate" Hidan smirks pointing her out with his thumb while the captain just twitches his eyebrow in annoyance, still speechless of how he, the greatest pirate in the universe, had been tricked by a mere woman.
