Everything had happened so fast. One moment everybody had been thrilled to free the city and the next everybody was fleeing, torn to peaces and executed on the spot. Everything looked so horrible, to corrupt to be true.

'How could this have happened?' The question kept going through his head.

'This is all my fault, my bloody fault! I really thought this would work out, the angel had told me! So why?! Why is this our fate?! What have I done.. I have betrayed everyone..'

The leader sank to the ground in defeat, unable to keep standing as he watched his comrades get slaughtered one by one, each in another horrible way. It was a horrifying sight, the ground covered in nothing but blood and corpses, the corpses of his dear friends...

Tears started to run down his cheeks as more of the intruding sounds of despair reached his ears. His mind was clouded by sorrow and he felt sick.

Men of the navy started to surround him but he didn't care. He just didn't care anymore.. Nothing mattered anymore.

Everything had been taken from him.


Ibuki sighed and looked towards Shindou who was looking around, not able to focus due to the drug. Ibuki walked over to him reluctantly and started to untie the rope that was wrapped around his body. It took Shindou more than half a minute to realise what the pirate was doing. He really didn't like the effect of the drug, it made him drowsy and he started to get nauseous.

When Ibuki had untied the rope Shindou fell forward and Ibuki only managed to catch him just in time. Ibuki groaned to the weight that was suddenly brought upon him. Shindou had tried to push the pirate away but had failed as the only thing he could do was push his arms up a little to distance himself from the pirate.

Ibuki sighed once more as he started to half drag, half carry Shindou towards the entrance that lead towards the place where the crew slept. As he walked down the stairs he felt Shindou's breathing becoming a little heavier. He thought it was a side effect of the drug and just shrugged it off.

He crossed the sleeping quarters and walked all the way towards the back where two cells with thick and heavy bars stood. He opened one of the cells with the key that hung on the side of the ship just next to the cells.

In the meantime Shindou was trying to keep himself together. The wobbling and dragging had made his nausea worse and he didn't know if he could keep it in. When Ibuki threw him inside the cell he had to use his last strength to hold it back. But unfortunately for him the ship made a sharp turn and that was the last straw. Shindou bent forward and threw up on the wooden floors.

His skin had gone pale, his lips and body were shaking and a bitter taste lasted in his mouth. He heard Ibuki mutter a "Fuck" but it was all still muffled. Then he heard a door slam shut and someone swearing.

"That stupid Kariya! Little peace of shit! I hate you, you hear me?! I should've just-"

The voice stopped abruptly.

"What is going on here?" The voice asked in a now softer but still demanding voice.

Shindou heard footsteps come closer followed by a gasp. He couldn't really register anything further as another wave of nausea hit him and he thew up again. Though this time it was different, he felt someone kneel beside him and grab his locks, holding them back so he wouldn't dirty them. When the hands had gotten hold of all his locks one of the hands started to rub his back.

"Ibuki! Go get some water, a towel and a bucket!" The voice yelled at Ibuki.

"Why?" Was Ibuki's cold reply.

"Are you stupid?! We can't just leave him like this!"

"Why not? He's from the navy, he doesn't deserve to be treated like an angel when he's working with the devil!" Ibuki's voice had raised from anger.

"Come on Ibuki, I know you have a bad history with the navy. But we both know that he could have done nothing about what happened to you. Please just get the things I asked and if you don't want to do it for him than please do it for me?" The unknown voice asked in a softer and caring voice.

"Tsk, fine. But just because it's you Kirino."

Shindou faintly heard footsteps walking away again. The owner of the new voice, now known as Kirino, turned his attention to Shindou.

"You poor thing, looks like they gave you one of Kurama's treatments..."

After a few minutes Shindou finally managed to look up and his eyes fell upon a slightly familiar boy. The boy had long pink hair and azure eyes that looked slightly worried yet reassuring. The boy smiled gently and grabbed one of the towels Ibuki had brought just a few seconds ago. He dipped the towel in a small bowl of water and started to clean Shindou's face.

"Don't worry, your body got rid of the drug so you should feel better soon!" Kirino said with a small smile.

When Shindou wouldn't answer Kirino laughed awkwardly. Something seemed to cross his mind though because he suddenly jolted up a little.

"Oh, where are my manners? My name is Kirino Ranmaru! What's yours, if I may ask?" He asked Shindou with a curious look.

It wasn't like he met a lot people other than the crew of the Black Lancelot, they would always let him watch the ship whenever they were on land, and he was kind of excited about it.

Shindou on the other hand was slightly doubting. He wasn't really sure if he could trust him, who was this Kirino guy anyway? But Kirino looked different than most pirates he had heard of. When pirates were described in his city they said they were around their thirties, heavily build, skin full of tattoos and scars and they would look like trouble from a mile distance. But the pirates on this ship were about his age and looked like normal people, no scars and all. Especially this Kirino guy, with his pink hair tied up in twin tails, his azure eyes, his rather slim body and as far as Shindou could see there were no tattoos nor scars. All in all Kirino looked like a nice person. But still, could he trust him? Who knows, it could be a trick... On the other hand he had already fucked up anyway so wether he told Kirino his name or not didn't really matter anymore, even if he wouldn't tell him Kirino would find out sooner or later.

"Shindou. Shindou Takuto." Shindou said, still a bit reluctantly.

"Okay Shindou, may I ask you what was the last straw that made you throw up? It's from great importance. You see we don't have many rules around here but we do have some and one of them is that whoever causes it cleans it up. So, it would be a lot of help if you could tell me," Kirino explained.

Shindou looked at him confused at first but started to think back, it was the least he could do after Kirino had helped him.

"Uhm I guess the sharp turn of the ship was the last straw."

To Shindou's further confusion a smile appeared on Kirino's face.

"Haha, serves that brat right! Ahum but anyway since your talking you must feel better now!" Kirino beamed.

Shindou noticed that Kirino was right, he did feel better. His mind started to clear up a bit as well and the sounds weren't as muffled as before anymore.

"Yes, thank you for your help."

He didn't like to say words of gratitude to a pirate, especially since they were the cause of all of this, but if it hadn't been for Kirino then Ibuki had probably just left him there in his misery, surrounded by his own vomit. He still didn't like pirates, hated them for doing this to him in fact, but Kirino seemed less bad then the others and he was really thankful for that.

Kirino's smile hadn't left his face for a second and even seemed to light up a little as he replied.

"No problem!"


Shindou was sitting in the other cell now. They had moved him as he had 'fucked up the other one' as Ibuki had said. He was sitting in the right upper corner, leaning against the wooden wall of the ship. He was tired, hungry and frustrated with himself. He kept replaying the interrogation inside his mind, trying to make sense of Tsurugi's questions. He just couldn't find a good explanation as in why Tsurugi would have wanted to know those things. He couldn't have been one of the members of Angel's Wings, he would have been slaughtered years ago as there were no survivors except for the leader... And he couldn't have been the leader either because the leader had been several years older than him and Tsurugi definitely wasn't older..

He thought about it over and over and over, frustrating himself more every time. He pulled his knees up to his chest, his tiredness seemed to take over and finally after some time he managed to fall asleep.


"Kariya~!" Kirino's voice sang as he walked the small stairs that lead to the wheel.

"What?" Was Kariya's short and sharp reply, he didn't like that look on Kirino's face...

"Guess what? Thanks to your rough steering abilities you've got clean-up duty!" Kirino said with that enormous smile still on his face.

"Haha, trying to fool me won't work senpai." Kariya snickered as he concentrated on the wheel again.

Kirino's smile turned into a scowl.

"Oh no I'm serious! When you made that ridiculous sharp turn to the right, after I had clearly told you to go left, you made the prisoner throw up."

Kariya's smirk widened a little at the statement of the older boy.

"And of course I'm going to believe that!" The sarcasm in Kariya's voice evident.

Kirino on the other hand was furious, how dare that rat put up that attitude?! He was his senpai for god's sake!

"Why you-"

But before Kirino could scold the other boy another deep voice cut him off.

"What is going on here?" The voice demanded.

Both boys looked down at the deck below and saw Tsurugi standing next to the little stairs with a demanding look on his face, Ibuki at his side. Apparently they had just come out of the captains cabin and overheard their about to be argument. Kariya opened his mouth about to answer the question when Tsurugi cut him off even before he could speak.

"You know what, I don't even want to know.. I want you all to gather in the sleeping quarters."

And with that he walked into the direction off in said direction with Kirino and Kariya silently following. Everyone was slowly coming together inside the sleeping quarters, some questioning looks were shared and some were more interested in the new prisoner rather than the reason why they had been summoned here.

"So this is the new prisoner?" A boy with chocolate-brown hair said.

"Wow! Look at his clothes, they are so fancy!" Another smaller boy said in awe.

Both boys leaned in closer to the sleeping figure of the unknown, mysterious brunet to take a closer look, grabbing the bars in the process.

"Tenma, Shinsuke, leave the damn brat alone!" Ibuki's stern voice rang through the sleeping quarters and Tenma and Shinsuke immediately retreated.

Once everyone had arrived Tsurugi cleared his throat immediately earning all the attention.

"You must all be wondering why I have called you here now. I assume you have already noticed that we have a new prisoner. His name is Shindou Takuto and was the captain of the ship we attacked last night. We brought him with us since he could possibly have some information concerning our investigation. But unfortunately he did not have the information we were looking for."

Tsurugi made a small pause.

"I've been thinking about what to do with him next, as he appears to have no useful information.. And after a small talk with Ibuki we decided his fate."

Some curious looks were shared.

"Men, tomorrow we will head towards Shelshire Bay and sell him as a slave."

Tsurugi's gaze shifted to Kirino along with all the heads of the crew. The pink-haired boy had a horrified look on his face, that soon turned into a painful one and some tears could be seen in his eyes.

"Why?!" Kirino's voice broke in the middle of the word as tears started to fall down his cheeks.

"Listen, Kirino, I know that this brings back bad memories for you but it's the best option we have. I-"

"The best option?! You can also leave him on a deserted island, even then he would be better off! Why don't we ask for money from the navy in exchange for him or something? That's an option too!" Kirino yelled through his tears.

Tsurugi sighed, he had seen this coming so he had prepared.

"I'm sorry, Kirino, but the risk of walking into a trap is just too big. You have to believe me when I say that I have thought of countless possibilities, it's really the best option." Tsurugi remained a calm voice in the hope Kirino would calm down a little. And it had almost worked if Ibuki hadn't spoken his next words.

"Besides its what the brat deserves!"

That was the last straw. Kirino ran over to Ibuki, roughly grabbed his collar and pulled him down so their faces were just inches away. Everyone looked in awe, no one had expected this from him. But everyone knew this was a very sensible topic for Kirino.

"NO one deserves to be treated as a SLAVE! No one..." The last part came out more like a whine rather than a statement.

The collar got released as fast as it had been grabbed just mere seconds after the statement. All of it became too much to handle and without another word Kirino stormed out of the sleeping quarters. Everybody just stood there, staring at the spot where the boy had just vanished. But those shocked faces soon turned into sorrow ones as they all felt sorry for Kirino, they all knew and understood the boy's reaction.

For he had been a slave himself.
