A/N: I'm sorry this is only going a little bit of the next chap (or should I say like a sneak peek?) I've been really busy lately, gomenasai! And if you have read this far then please read on my friend~~~(warning for everybodys language)


"Oi, wake up."

Argh, are we there already? Damn it these scallywags won't leave me in peace.

"Hey, wake up."

This fucking boy is being an asshat.

"Oi! Come on! You know the captain is going to get you flogged if you're late again."

Captain? That fucking bastard that acts like the fucking boss all the time? Huh like he could do that to me, If I had it MY way, I'll be the fucking captain of this fucking ship…if I wasn't so damn lazy…

"Hey! Wake the fuck up!"

That's it.

The blue eyed boy froze as the bullet shot centimeters' away from his face, blood flowing from the small nick on his cheek. His ears were still ringing as the echoing shot rang through the room and he could feel his hot blood flowing down his cheek. He turned his head slowly to the steaming bullet stuck tight on the wooden wall behind him and quickly snap back at the silver haired man who had suddenly stood up to fire the shot.

"Fuck! You almost shot my eye ye damn rabbit!"

The other walked slowly towards Shinobu, twirling his favorite flintlock and putting it smartly in its holster. Teeth flashing in a smile he whispered to the blond giving him a cold shudder, "Oh sorry, I was aiming for your mouth." He hissed with venom.

"So, cabin boy, what's the situation?" he drawled, walking out of his quarters Shinobu following closely behind him. He dug his pockets in his leather pants, searching for a cigarette. Lighting up the nicotine stick and blowing softly on it he gave Shinobu a questioning look.

Shinobu glared, watching the other stroll lazily to the board of the ship where all the carronade were stored. He sighed, well he couldn't really argue with him, the man was famous for his exceptional gunner skills. While having the nickname' The Sharpshooter Bunny' nobody was brave enough to challenge him, too many have lost their ears for that. Walking side to side with the master gunner the cabin boy replied, "Don't really know much of anything, but I'm guessing that we're gonna have extra booty since we spent all that gold on the last port." He stopped, thinking quietly of what he heard, then continued, "This time though, the captain said we're gonna attack the royal house."

Amethyst eyes widened as they heard the surprising news. "Seriously? What's gotten into him, gone cocky?" Akihiko shook his head slowly and flicking the cigarette to the dark sea he inhaled the fresh sharp air of the quiet night. His gaze settled down to the oncoming city port, the shimmering lights giving it an almost ethereal look, like some floating mystical town. Then his eyes fell to the men gathered in front of him, waiting for instructions.

He sighed, he was the master gunner after all. Taking a deep breath he barked at them his tone intimidating and demanding. "Alright boys! Powder up those cannons! Our target is the town overhead, I want you to aim, and I want you to aim straight! Any men giving me problems will spend the night in the bilge*, or" he grinned," do you prefer a taste of a keelhaul*?"

They quickly took to their positions, some fumbling as they tried to light up the cannons.

"Fucking sadist."

Akihiko scowled as he heard the comment passed out from one of the gunners. "I want no complaints from you Hiroki!" he barked.

Walking away slowly, he spotted Shinobu staring blankly at something from above and was about to look up when he whispered, his voice hoarse. "Hey, where's the Jolly Roger?"

Akihiko eyes snap back up, searching for the flag with skulls and crossbones in a black background only to find a crimson flag billowing in the wind of the midnight black sky. His breath hitched as he gazed at the red cloth, "It's a blood flag."


"Are you sure about this Takano?"

Yokozawa was confused, why was he doing this now? This place was no different from the others, so why now?

"Sir" Takano glared at the other, his golden eyes flashing like a hawk in the dark night. Well, he couldn't really say 'eyes' since the other was non-existent covered by a black eye patch. "You may be the quartermaster and my first mate, Yokozawa, but I am the captain and I expect you to address me as so." He hissed, his black cloak billowing under him, giving him an aura of authority and intimidation. Then he muttered," Lower the gangplanks and get the men ready for battle."

He snap his head back at the place he once called home, white hot rage filling his one golden eye. "We give no quarter*." He coldly stated voice as flat as cement.

I'm killing all those motherfuckers if it's the last thing I do.

Yokozawa could only sigh as he knew he couldn't change his mind when he gets like this.

"Aye, aye, cap."


*Bilge: The lowest part inside the ship, within the hull itself which is the first place to show signs of leakage. The bilge is often dank and musty, and considered the most filthy, dead space of a ship.

*Keelhaul: Punish (someone) by dragging them through the water under the keel of a ship, either across the width or from bow to stern.

*Give no quarter: To say "give no quarter" means to show no mercy, take no prisoners, death to all who challenges. A visual of no quarter is a red flag (usually with your insignia on it).

So I'm kinda new to all this pirate thing so tell me if I did something wrong~
