A few more days at sea and things were awkward after the hurricane. Hidan spent more time whining about his injuries and making Itachi pamper him; Zetsu stayed by Tobi's bedside until his fever died down, which thankfully it did and didn't turn out to be something serious or contagious.

Lexy refused to do any laundry until Kisame gave her back her clothes so she wouldn't have to wear the dress anymore, Sasori just seemed to be flirting more with the blonde, whereas the captain was just downright aggravated with the lot of them.

It was hell for him because no work was being done as planned, these prisoners were changing everything!

He slammed his fist against the wall and muttered, "This can't keep going on. They're getting in too deep; and so am I."

He rubbed his temples as he sat down in his chair, trying to figure out what would be the best thing to do.

If I get rid of the stowaways when we reach the next port my crew will raise hell…on the other hand if we keep them…..that means more helping hands that can take the majority of the load off my crew so they won't be so tired out.

A small knock on the door caught his attention when he said they could come in; which he knew it was the woman. "Lunch is ready captain." He gave her a hand gesture to fetch him some as she left, his gaze drifting along her slim figure again in that dress.

It looked better on her than men's garments, but growled in annoyance none the less; mostly because it was time for the men to bathe.

Normally it's not a big deal but after that storm they needed one anyway, and he's already noticed how grimy the lot were; including the prisoners.

Letting out a heavy sigh he left his cabin to inform the crew, signaling them to start fetching and boiling the seawater.

Kakuzu saw this handy trick being done years ago when he was a lad, some foreigners were able to bathe at sea by boiling seawater until it began steaming, then trap the vapors with a lid to kill the salt before letting it cool down and then the water is fresher. Re-boil the water again in a clean large cauldron to warm it up for a nice hot bathe.

The pirate found this very effective, it wasn't perfect and didn't get rid of every bit of salt but it was enough to be able to bathe with; and drink a little but it was a lot of work though.

Once again here's another fact why he wasn't your average pirate; the miser didn't like the idea of not bathing. There were many sicknesses out in the world and being unclean was like a target; neither he nor his crew could afford to risk it.

Also, he would like to speak with one of his crew members without gagging on their stench like he felt like doing running into some fellow pirates.

*It did indeed take quite a while get everything set up, sunset was coming by the time the first bathe was ready in the small room.

It was on top the deck so the water could be easily swabbed away once you opened the door, but a small curtain was there for some privacy since the door was usually left open to let the steam out.

The captain was the first to bathe, already having stripped off his soiled garments and tossing them into his pile of clothes; a towel wrapped around his waist when he went inside….only to find out someone else was in there.

He arched a brow when he jerked the curtain back, the woman gasping and ducking underneath the water when he growled, "What are you doing in here!?"

Her face was beat red as she murmured, "Um…soaking." She had already scrubbed herself clean first before rinsing off outside the large metal tub.

Narrowing his gaze he grumbled, "I'm always the first to bathe woman." "Well I didn't know!" "Now you do so get out, you're clean." "No."

"Did you just refuse your captain?" She gulped a bit before mumbling, "You're not my captain." He took that as an insult and hovered over the tub snarling, "Either get out or I'll have the crew come in here to get you."

Olivia gawked, "You wouldn't." That solemn expression said it all so she nodded, but timidly asked, "Um…will you please turn around."

The brute snorted and crossed his arms, "I don't see why I should. I've seen naked women before so it doesn't bother me." "It bothers me!"

The pirate captain glared and the woman didn't make a move to leave with him watching, inwardly an evil idea came to mind to see how she would react.

"Have it your way."

He grabbed the bar of soap and began scrubbing his body thoroughly right in front of her, fighting the urge not to smirk at her flushed expression.

When he dropped his towel however, he heard a splash of water and glanced over to find out she hastily covered her eyes.

Chuckling under his breath he handed the soap towards her, "Since you're not doing anything why not help me out."

She shook her head as he mused, "That's an order. Wash my back."

Her mouth went ajar but snatched the soap all the same, trying desperately not to look down as he knelt down to give her better access to his toned back.

Once she was through and he rinsed off, he stepped in the tub with her and now the woman did what he wanted…..though he wished she stayed just a while longer.

She hastily grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her before going behind the curtain to dry off and put her clothes on; the brute grinning evilly from how amusing he found this little incident, not to mention the pleasant sight he just saw.

*Lexy was another case however, Kisame was kind enough to let her go first when the water was switched out.

She sighed in content from finally getting clean when the curtain was pulled back, "What the hell!?"

The shark grinned like mad and savored the sight of the lovely wet skin that was pink from the heat of the water, her cute round face sending him a death glare as he took a step closer.

The teen growled, "Get out." "Awww don't be sore at me lass. You need help washing your back don't ye?" "I can manage now get out!"

She reached over and grabbed the empty pail before chunking it at the brute's head, almost hitting him when he laughed aloud as he grew closer.

From the outside it sounded like a war going on in the room, splashes of water and shrieks from the brunette until the captain shouted, "KISAME!"

Said man came out with a wide grin, fairly soaked but content as Hidan laughed, "Have fun?" "I saw everything~"

With that said the teen came out and chunked the bucket at his head again, making contact with it this time as she stomped off angrily in the evil dress she hated.

*Sasori sighed when his turn came next, watching the blonde wash himself and it made him get lewd thoughts.

A few minutes passed and Deidara just sat there shivering, dying to get into the warm tub but didn't want to because the redhead.

The navigator rolled his eyes, "Get in here before you freeze brat!" "No, I'm fine un." He noticed the faint pink on his cheeks and murmured, "You don't have anything I haven't seen before brat."

"I'm just not comfortable being in the nude in front of someone alright un!" Sasori growled and jerked him up and into the tub with the blonde glaring at him for all its worth, but he didn't say a word since he was savoring how nice the water felt to his aching body.

Their bath time was short and sweet; nothing inappropriate happened and came out like it was nothing out of the ordinary.

*Hidan was giddy at this point since it was his turn, scrubbing himself nice and hard before rinsing off, hopping into the fresh new hot water with a loud sigh.

He liked to bathe because it felt so good against his sore muscles; it was so soothing like a massage; which he rarely got.

Grinning like mad he yelled, "Pretty-boy~ get the fuck in here and wash my back!"

Said man came in slowly and cautiously…even timidly.

The man was just grinning at him with that same sexy smirk, beckoning him with a finger to come closer. The raven pursed his lips and kept his expression solemn, but that soon changed when the pirate jerked him down into the water and began kissing him.

His lips were surprisingly smooth, a bit tough but…it was maddening. Itachi tried to punch him but the man easily just held hold his wrists with one hand, keeping a firm grip on the back of his neck with the other as he devoured the delectable mouth.

His lips parted for much needed air as Hidan took that moment to caress the other's tongue with his own, smirking into the kiss when a small whimper emerged from the usually stoic raven.

Itachi felt so weak, giving into the sinful touches until he came to his senses and bit the invading tongue. Hidan yelped a bit from how much it hurt as the raven took that moment to scramble out of the tub and run out, the pirate right behind him and chasing him across the deck in the nude.

Hidan laughed like a madman during the chase, catching the raven and hoisting him over his shoulders grinning. "Ye not fucking biting me and getting away with it me beauty."

Once again it sounded like a war taking place, Hidan stripping his 'pretty boy' to wash the flawless smooth skin; the raven finally gave up the fight and just let him wash him.

The brute was persistent, more than anyone he's ever met to get what he wanted, and it actually scared Itachi.

He feared the man would rape him right here, but he didn't. Once he stopped resisting, the albino was being gentle; the strong hands rubbing the suds all over his body, teasingly avoiding his private parts until he had to.

Itachi's mouth parted when the hands stroked his length and sack, leaning backwards against the toned chest as Hidan smirked, nibbling the soft neck with a groan before murmuring incoherent words.

The raven was beyond embarrassed, he was hard and caused by this damn pirate no less but said man didn't do anything after washing him. No teasing, no boasting…..nothing but a bucket of clean water was dumped on him as the albino dried off, the raven shakily get into the tub with a scowl with those sinful entrancing amethyst eyes watching him.

The stowaways saw how Itachi's behavior changed once his bath was over with the albino, it wasn't obvious to the pirates but to the raven's friends it was.

He was disoriented and in deep thought….which rarely happened unless it was something important. They knew Hidan was the cause and wondered what he did to cause such a quick change in behavior within a matter of minutes.

*Tobi resisted when it was his turn, the bipolar man being forced to carry him inside the room until he began to undress.

The boy was shy, blushing when he took off his trousers; but sighed with relief when Zetsu turned around to give him some privacy as he washed himself.

The two men were silent, even when Tobi began to soak…but when Zetsu joined him; that changed.

The pirate was just being lazy, relaxing as the boy tried to…but it was hard. To get his mind off how awkward this was he murmured, "Um…Mr. Zetsu?"

"Yes?" "Thank you for taking care of Tobi after the storm."

"It was no trouble lad, I be knowing how it feels to be ill."

The boy smirked a bit and nodded, but leaned forward to the pirate and caused him to arch a brow. Zetsu let the boy kiss his cheek as thanks, but didn't let it stop there.

If the boy was willing to kiss him, then he would be more than willing to take it further. The bipolar man ensnared the plump lips with his own, kissing the boy heatedly as he whimpered.

The boy tried to push him away but a few mere quick movements and Zetsu had the boy straddling his lap; rubbing their groins together purposefully and causing the boy to moan softly.

"Ye like this don't you Tobi?" The boy pursed his lips and shook his head, but a gasp of pleasure said otherwise as the pirate stroked his length.

Tobi never felt anything like this before, it was scary and yet not; "Please…." He never finished his sentence when the bipolar man inserted a finger in the tight entrance, probing him gently as the boy wriggled like mad.

Zetsu was enjoying himself immensely, inserting another digit before claiming the lips again to keep the cute noises down. The boy was loud, but that was just an even better incentive to keep going.

The boy was so cute and fuckable, he was surprised he hadn't jumped him yet; but he restrained his urges. There was no point if only one was enjoying themselves; it took the fun out of it.

When he added a third finger the boy yelped, trying to get his behind off the probing fingers but the pirate merely jerked him back down by the waist; unintentionally causing the digits to delve in deeper.

He smirked like mad when the boy nuzzled his shoulder, wriggling his behind on his fingers to feel more now. Affectionately sucking the crook of the boy's neck he left a hickey, signifying the boy belonged to him.

Removing his fingers he grabbed the round behind, lifting him up as he aligned his length when the boy started to shed tears from the pain.

He glided him down slow until he was completely sheathed, the soothing water helping to ease the penetration, keeping still until he was accustomed to it. Tobi whimpered like crazy and latched onto the pirates neck for dear life, crying out when he began to move.

The dick inside him was too much, he thought he would lose his mind from how badly it hurt at first; yet, it was a good kind of pain.

Zetsu panted rather hard, bucking his hips up to make the boy bounce up and down on his length; making sure to devour his mouth and muffle the sweet sounds of pain mixed in with pleasure as the water splashed around them like rough waves caused by a storm of passion.

The boy's grip loosened soon enough, moaning at last from how great it felt, but didn't last long at all. Gripping the green hair of the bipolar man he cried out when he released, the brute growling in disappointment it was over so soon when he followed suit.

Zetsu wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, getting his breath back before getting out of the now luke warm water. He arched a brow to find the boy conked out completely, grinning in amusement before lifting the lithe body off his shaft and out of the tub.

Tobi came to when he was being dried off, desperate to get some fresh air after he got into his clean clothes but when he took a step he yelped.

Zetsu chuckled, "Ye ass will be sore for a while lad." He propped him against his shoulder and caused the boy to blush like mad, even more as everyone else stared at them with smirks…well…the pirates did anyway.

Tobi was so embarrassed he gave into the man, ashamed really that it was man too. As he limped to his bed the bipolar man murmured into his ear, "Don't look so glum lad, ye liked it." "Yeah but…it's wrong."

"Among land it may be, but out on the seas it's not. It happens all the time but what happens on a pirate ship stays there. Savvy?" The boy smirked and nodded, "Makes sense."

*The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly, Kisame and Hidan having loads of fun teasing Zetsu about what happened but when things got dull…here came the real entertainment.

Rum!

They had lit the lamps and were crowded around in a circle, the pirates playing instruments; Kisame on the accordion, Sasori the fiddle, Hidan the harmonica, and Zetsu the penny whistle.

The stowaways couldn't help but have a good time too, just sitting there enjoying the merry music and alcohol too; all except the woman that is.

She stared at them from inside the cabin and sighed, wishing she could be out there drinking and getting drunk, dancing, or anything than being cooped up.

She giggled like mad when Hidan toppled over his feet and grabbed Itachi's hand, "Come on me beauty…hic…dance with me!"

The raven scowled the entire time as the albino twirled him around the deck, looking like a fool from his crazy free style dance steps until Itachi tripped him on purpose; causing him to land hard on his rump.

The other shipmates howled with laughter but the albino did too, consuming too much rum to care about anything except fun.

At least they know how to let go unlike some people.

She glanced over at the captain who was counting gold coins until his seemingly glowing orbs glanced up into hers.

He grumbled, "Let me guess, you want to join them?" "Yes."

Letting out a heavy sigh he withdrew from his gold and led her outside, and for once joining his crew who were making fools of themselves when drinking.

"Glad ye can join us captain!"

Said man took his seat and muttered, "Someone has to keep an eye on you fools." Kisame laughed, "Come on captain, do a jig for us."

Olivia and the captain both snorted at the mere suggestion, there was no way in hell he would do it. The miser poured him some rum and chugged it before grumbling, "I'm not making a fool of myself in front of you bilge rats."

Hidan nudged the redhead, who smirked a tad since he had an idea what his fellow shipmate was going to do. "I bet you can't fucking do it captain."

The emphasize on the word 'bet' made the pirate narrow his eyes, "What are you insinuating?" The albino stared at him dumbly until Itachi muttered, "He wants to know what you are getting at."

Hidan smirked and slapped his captive on the back for clearing that up when he grinned evilly, "Ye can't dance so that's why you won't fucking do it."

Kakuzu knew where Hidan was going with this and didn't want to be a part of it, however, he did like a bet every now and again; especially for his own amusement.

When the captain didn't answer Hidan blurted out without thinking, "I will fucking kiss the shark over here on the mouth if you fucking dance!"

Kisame choked on his drink and Lexy covered her mouth to keep from laughing from the sight of his face. "Deal."

The shark gawked, "Ye not serious captain!" Kakuzu smirked and stood up, "Why not? We'll never let him live this down and making him suffer is what I love to do."

He held out his hand to the woman who blinked several times before murmuring, "Don't drag me into this."

The green orbs narrowed and instantly she let him grasp her hand, letting him lead her a few paces away when Sasori began with a small grin.

Hidan paled and chewed his fingernails, figuring the captain was bluffing but judging from his actions…..he was going to go through with it.

He scowled when he looked at Kisame, who he had NO intentions on kissing and neither did he.

The woman blushed when the brute began to sway her elegantly around the deck, curious to how he learned to dance so well but didn't ask…..the strong hand on her waist pulling her even closer to his toned body was all she could focus on.

When the song was over, Hidan ran like hell but Zetsu caught him and dragged him over to the shark. The behemoth backed away as well until the captain commanded him to stand still, "NO! Don't fucking make me do it!"

They all watched eagerly as his face drew closer to the shark, Itachi even helping as Hidan called him a traitor when their faces were merely inches apart.

"Pucker up un!" "SHUT UP!"

Lexy grinned evilly and pushed Kisame's head forward to close the gap, with Hidan's mouth open in the process since he was still protesting, so all they both got was a nice sloppy wet kiss with tongue.

Hidan hollered in dismay when it was over, frantically trying to get the brute's taste out with the rum as did Kisame who jerked the teen onto his lap and devoured her mouth instead; using her own sweet taste to drown out the drunken pirate's.

Olivia went wide eyed with the sight as did the others, chugging more rum with the brunette trying to beat the living hell out of him but the brute fell off his seat and on top of her, trying to hike up her dress at this point until the captain told them to get a room.

Deidara smirked when the brute stopped kissing her, the teen sitting there all ruffled up and in shock from what just happened. He grunted when his hair was gently tugged on, the redhead smirking at him naughtily as he turned away with a blush.

Kakuzu quickly announced the party was over since things were beginning to get heated up, the pirates going to their bedchamber as did the stowaways; some having to support the other from drinking too much.

*The captain smirked seeing the woman trip on her feet a little, falling onto his bed with a groan.

What a lightweight.

He arched a brow seeing her yawn and instantly curling up under the covers, too tipsy to even know she was in his bed.

Normally he would place her back on her normal spot, but would make an exception this once and crawled in right behind her; fighting the urge once again not to let his lustful thoughts take over.

TBC:

Hope everyone enjoyed the long chapter and smut XD

More to be coming for sure now ;p
