Um, okay, I didn't mean for chapter nine to be in all bold lettering. Sorry, I'll make sure that doesn't happen again. As for the people who reviewed my last chapter, thank you, and for the people who just went to a different story or site after reading my chapter, Jerks! Review people, REVIEW! Enjoy chapter ten.
Pakre stirred in her sleep yet again. Something heavy was on her stomach and she was starting to have trouble breathing. Her eyes opened slowly. The blinding light hurt her tired eyes. After her eyes got somewhat used to the light she looked around. She was in the medical room. She'd only seen it from the window in the door when Mac and Tobi showed her around the ship. This was the first time she had ever been in there. The she looked down. She saw her captains head on her stomach and his arms were crossed under his head to pillow it. Pakre thought. The last thing she remembered was that she had won the game of hide and seek with the crew. The captain was holding her up after she bumped into him from tackling the door open, then she found Macs head poking out of a hole in the door, then a blur. Now she was about to gasp for air. She never knew her captains upper body was this heavy alone. She bolted up and her captains head slid down to her thighs. He was near where she went to the bathroom. She just looked at him.
Pakre tried to figure out how to wake him up in this condition. She was still a little light headed and she felt cold. Then Apoo began to wake up. She grinned and quickly fell back into the sheets. She wouldn't have to do anything. She closed her eyes and turned her head towards the wall. She had practiced for many years to keep a straight face when she needed to, but its been a while since she'd done it before so she had to face away from Apoo in case she smiled. She felt her captain stir some more and heard him moan. Apoo opened his eyes and saw where he was. His eyes turned to the size of golf balls and yelped while quickly sitting up. This turned against him and he fell over in the chair he had been sitting in. Pakre grinned widely. Lucky for her, Apoo was on the ground and she was facing the other way. She heard the door open and heard some one walk in. "Oh, I thought she woke you up with kissing you, but she's still asleep. It's been two days now." the voice said. It was Kiskues. "Shut up!" Apoo said. It wasn't an order. It was just a common thing people did when they knew what someone said was true about them or what they would have done in a silly kinda way. Pakre frowned. How pathetic, shes been asleep for two days. Her stomach growled and she felt the stares of the two men. They both laughed. "Guess I should go to the kitchen and bring her something to eat. I'll be right back." Kiskue said. He opened the door again and shut it. Pakre figured this was the best time to fake waking up. She moaned and turned her head and opened her eyes slowly. Apoo watched as she woke up. She did not hear him, but by this time, he had set the chair up again and sat back down. She saw his face, still smiling from hearing her stomach growl. It would only be natural for someone who hadn't eaten in two days. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Look who came back from the dead, you had me worried." Apoo said. Pakre thought this would be the perfect time to say something stupid, why, because she wanted to see how the captain would react. "I was dead?" Pakre asked. She made sure to put on a face that made it look like she was serious about the question. Apoo laughed. "No, not really. You were just unconscious for two days." Pakres stomach growled again. "If I don't eat soon, I really will be dead." Pakre moaned. She hugged her stomach and leaned forward. He stomach felt like it was digesting itself. Apoo only laughed more. "Don't worry, Kiskue is on his way with some food. Just wait a little bit longer." Apoo calmed down and then looked at her seriously. "Pakre, the doctor said you had the fever for a while. He said it was caused from the cold and lack of sleep. I need you to stop running around naked and go to bed at the same time as the rest of the crew." Pakre closed her eyes. What he said made sense. Cold temperatures and nothing to warm you would definatly give you a cold, and lack of sleep would make it worse. "Don't forget, it was your fault for making me skip breakfast that day." Pakre accused. "Yeah, we should have timed that better."
Apoo and Pakre heard the door open and looked in its direction. They saw Kiskue standing in the doorway holding a plate of hot food. The plate contained a drumstick with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans smeared in butter and a hint of salt, and three chocolate chip cookies. Pakres eyes lit up when she saw the cookies. "Chocolate chip cookies! I love those things." She realized what she just said and covered her mouth. Now they had another thing to bribe her with. She knew this because Kiskue and Apoo looked at each other and smiled. They did the same thing when they found out she liked to play games. Now Kiskue laughed. "Looks like your already full of life. Did the captain explain why you collapsed?" he said while bringing the plate of good smelling food to Pakre. To her it seemed like forever for him to get across the small room over to the bed. "Yeah, he also said I should stop running around naked and go to bed along with the rest of the crew." Pakre tried to pout, but her drooling lips made it difficult. She finally got her hands on the plate, then frowned. There was no fork. She turned to see Kiskue holding beside his head, teasing her. He chuckled, along with the captain, anf gave her the fork. She smiled, took the fork and began to dig in.
She started with the mashed potatoes. She scooped up the center and shoved it into her mouth, the gravy tasted like heaven. She swallowed that whole and almost inhaled the rest. The she went to the green beans. They didn't taste as good as they looked but they were still good. He chewed them slowly and a drop of butter had oozed its way out of the corner of her mouth. Apoo sighed. He took his thumb and wiped the drop of butter away. He rubbed his fingers together, seeing as there were no napkins around. She swallowed and smiled at him to say thank you. Apoo got the hint and smiled with a sigh, turning his head towards the floor. She smiled. He looked funny in profile. Then she noticed his hair was a little shinier than the last time she looked at it. She also smelt something like sweat. Sniff. It surprised Pakre that it wasn't her. She had been out for two days. Sniff. Wasn't Kiskue. She looked at her captain. Sniff. It was him. She scrunched up her nose. "Captain, when was the last time you took a shower?" Pakre asked. She leaned back a little bit. The smell was getting to her. Apoo looked at her then at Kiskue. He was doing the same thing. The he lifted arm and sniffed. He wiped his head away right after the sniff. He did smell bad. "Um, not since two days ago." Apoo said looking at the duo. They had turned their heads away when he lifted his arm. He smelt worse when he did that. "Ugh, go take a shower, will you? You'll make me sick again." Pakre lifted her hand to her mouth and acted as if she was going to puke. "Yeah, you really should, captain. Pakre's awake now, so you don't have to worry." Kiskue said. He was waving his hand in front of his nose, smiling. He thought the state that his captain was in was funny. Apoo yelled at the two. "I can take a hint you guys. I'm not stupid. Look, I'm going." Apoo was walking out the door at this point. Making sure to point out the obvious to them before he left. Soon he was out of the room.
Kiskue and Pakre let out a couple of gasps for air and laughed. They both agreed that the captains behavior was hilarious. They laughed for a couple of minutes and then calmed down. Their faces were a little blue. After Pakre had caught her breath, she continued eating. She finished the green beans, put the fork down, and began ripping the meat off the drumstick. Kiskue looked at the floor. He was leaning on the wall behind the bed Pakre had been sleeping in. He looked over at Pakre. Now she was digging into the cookies. He spotted the bone that was coated in meat just a minute ago. The pace that she was devouering her meal astounded him. Unlike the rest of her meal, she was enjoying her cookies slowly, taking only small bites one at a time. She looked up at him with innocent eyes and smiled. He smirked in return. "The captain said he loves you to you in your sleep." Kiskue suddenly said. Pakre felt a clump of cookie get caught in her wind pipe and started coughing and choking. This surprised Kiskue. The only thing he could think of to help her was to hit her in the back. So he balled his hand into a fist and banged on her back. The clump of cookie came back up into her mouth. It didn't feel the same as when she swallowed it. It felt slimy. The mucus in her throat coated it so that it would be easier for her to cough it up. She war reluctant, but swallowed it again. It went to her stomach this time. She coughed a couple more times then looked at Kiskue accusingly. "What are you trying to do, kill me? Don't make jokes like that when someones eating!" Pakre yelled at him. "Sorry, I didn't mean it. It wasn't a joke by the way. I really heard him say it to you when you were asleep and no one was around. I was outside the door." Kiskue held his hands in front of him to keep Pakre from hitting him in the face but she didn't even try. Though the crew had been thinking she might be the kind of person to hit. They just didn't want to find out what she did for payback. Kiskue thought he might find out pretty soon.
Pakre looked down at her food. Only the cookies were left. She was, in fact, thinking of pranking Apoo and getting back at Kiskue all in one go. She got an idea, Pakre grabbed the cookie to mislead Kiskue from thinking she thought of payback for him. It worked. He just sighed in relief. He thought Pakre wasn't able to think of anyway to get payback right now. So wrong. They heard the door open and turned their heads and saw the doctor standing in the door way. "So your awake now. You look more alive than you did two days ago." Pakre rolled her eyes. The crew sure loved to make life and death jokes. She looked back at the doctor. This was the first time she actually got a good look at the man. He had jet black hair that went down to his jaw line. It was rather untamed. He wore a typical doctors coat with a puffy shirt underneath with cargo pants and a sash tied around his waist like she saw on most pirates she'd seen. His face had a long, thin scar that went over his nose and across his cheeks and dark skin.
He walked over and placed his hand on Pakres head. "Still a little warm, but the fever has gone down a lot." He took his off her head and walked over to his desk at the foot of the bed. It was in a position that he could turn his head to the right and see the patient. He took out a bag with a lot of really tiny words printed on it. Pakre couldn't make out any of the words. He slipped two little green pills out of the opening of the bag and held them out to Pakre. "You might want to swallow these first before you finish your cookies. They're really bitter." Pakre took them and just stared. The doctor got the hint. "They're cold pills that fight off infection and help your fever go down." Pakre shrugged and slipped them into her mouth. Her face suddenly turned into a face of disgust. They really were bitter. So bitter that it made her eyes water. She quickly gulped them down and jammed a cookie into her mouth. The pill left a worse after taste. The doctor laughed, and so did Kiskue. "I warned you." the doctor said. "I remember the first time I took those pills. I thought I was going to barf." Kiskue added. He was bent over holding his stomach. He was having trouble breathing. He was, in fact, the only person who tasted those pills before Pakre came along. "I'll get some water for you. I'll be right back." The doctor stood up and headed for the door. Before he could open it, the captain opened it first. His hair was damp and undone and the onlt thing he was wearing was his pants and slippers.
Pakre looked down at herself. She was not in the captains clothes anymore. She was back in Kiskues shirt and Tobi's boxers. She looked at Kiskue. He mouthed "I'll tell you later." All she could do was shrug. The crew had seen her naked before, what was the problem with them changing her clothes? The doctor looked at the captain and said "You know, you smell a lot better now captain." After that last comment, he bolted past Apoo and down the hall. The room was now full of giggles and Apoo was scowling. The crew had learned to make snappy comments form listening to Pakre. Then he sighed. It wasn't worth getting worked up over. He turned back to the medical room and walked in. He sat on the edge of the bed Pakre was in. He looked over at her and she just sat there, waiting for the time for pranking and payback. It was quiet for five whole minutes. No one dared to break the silence. Pakre figured this would be the best time to pay Kiskue back because she wasn't seeing a better opprotunity any time soon. She looked down and twiddled her thumbs. She had to make this sound as convincing as possible. She stuttered under her breath. Now all of Apoos attention was on her.
She stuttered some more. She was having trouble saying the words. There was some truth to them. Apoo leaned closer to get a better idea of what she was trying to say. She lifted her head. "I love you, too." she said softly. "What?" Apoo was standing up straight looking at her like she was crazy. He was blushing too. "Kiskue told me that you said 'I love you' to me when I was asleep." Then she looked at Kiskue. He had a look of horror, his eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. Pakre stuck her tounge out at him. Payback. Apoo grabbed Kiskues collar, dragged him outside the medical room, and shut the door. She could hear Kiskue begging for something but couldn't hear much. The doctor came back in with a glass of water and saw that Pakre was the only one in the room. "Did I miss something?" he asked. "No, just a tornadoe passing through." Pakre answered. She shoved half of the last cookie into her mouth. The doctor gave her the glass of water and she slugged it down. The after taste of the pills still lingered in her mouth. She slid the glass in between her legs to hold it and shoved the last of the cookie into her mouth.
"Okay, so what really happened? If a tornadoe passed through, there wouldn't be a ship any more, would there?" Pakre looked at the doctor. He looked trust worthy. So, she sucked up her pride, swallowed the cookie, and began telling the story. "Well, Kiskue had told me that the captain confessed love to me while I was asleep. I almost died from choking when I heard that. I figured the best way to get payback was to prank the captain and rat out Kiskue all in one go. So I answered his confession, and, well, it turned out to be real." She slowly said the word real. She found it difficult to tell someone about that. She looked up. She found that the doctor had been listening to the story carefully from his chair. She did feel better after telling someone the truth, but she promised herself that the doctor would be the only one she'd confess to. "Well, that sounds interesting. It would definatly make a good soap opera." the doctor said. He couldn't keep a sraight face saying it though, and he snorted. Then Pakre snorted as well. He really had a way of turning serious conversations into funny ones.
The door opened, and Apoo was standing in the door way alone. Then Kiskue limped slowly behind him, blood trickled down from his lip and bruise above his left eye. Apoo had clearly given him back for listening in on him and telling Pakre what he said. Kiskue gave a dirty look at Pakre that said "You bitch!" Pakre only smiled at him and stuck out her tounge that said "Payback!" Then Kiskue sobbed and walked into the doctors office. The doctor sighed and took out the ointment and bandages. He sat Kiskue down on his chair and began working. Apoo, who was still standing in the door way, turned to look at Pakre. She just had the usual proud smile she always wore, just looking up at him. He blushed and looked away, recalling what she had said to him. Pakre only giggled and he blushed more. Something about her laugh made him feel warm inside. "You don't have to be so rough when punishing your subordnits, captain." the doctor said, finishing putting a band-aid on Kiskues blood oozing bruise above his left eye. The doctor turned to look at Pakre. She gave him a look, and he turned back to Apoo. "But why did you punish him, what did he do?" he asked. "Isn't your business, your job is just to fix him up." Apoo growled. The doctor sighed again, his captain was hopeless. The least he could do was say sorry for giving him so much work. Pakre looked down, trying to hide the smile on her face. She would have to thank the doctor later for lying to the captain to keep her secret.
Apoo turned around and slammed the door. Pakre, Kiskue, and the doctor waited until they couldn't hear his footsteps anymore. They faded. From what they could tell, he was headed for the main deck. "Well, I should tell you why the captains so mad." Kiskue chuckled. All he knew was getting busted for ratting out the captain to Pakre in the worst way possible, by the little witch herself. He gave her a dirty look. She smiled. "Oh, I already told him." Pakre replied to the dirty look, wanting to dig the knife of payback a little deeper into his back. Kiskue now had a look of disgust and looked to the doctor. "Sean, is this true?" "Yep, she told me the whole story." Sean, the doctor, answered. He smiled with his eyes shut. It was a kind smile but yet hid a mischievous side to it. "Now I have something on you. I think the crew would laugh if they heard of the payback Pare served you." Kiskue sobbed. He couldn't tell which was worse, getting beat up by the captain or Pakre and Sean having something over him. Pakre and Sean giggled, they loved the way they were toturing his mind and the fact they had him rapped around their finger. Pakre looked over to Sean, she knew she would have fun with him. Maybe she could use his information to get the captains undivided attention and get the rest of the crew off the ship. She remembered something that only just came to her mind.
She heard the waves crashing against the hull of the ship. They crashed against the ship harder then two days ago. Then she remembered Kiskue something about how long it took for the log pose to set on the island. He said it would take two days. It had been one day since they docked when the crew played hide and seek with her. "I'm going to take a guess and say that we've been at sea for a day, am I correct?" Pakre asked. She looked at Sean. He smiled at her. "Yes, your correct. We'll also be at the next island the day after tomorrow. In the evening, I believe." he answered. She looked down at the sheets that covered her legs. She had around two days to plan for a way to verbaly confess her feelings in the most diabolical way possible. But she wasn't about to let the entire crew know what she wanted to do. She looked at Sean and Kiskue. She had something over Kiskue, so she could use him. But what about Sean, would he be willing to help her with her most diabolical scheme ever on this ship. She looked up at him, and he looked at her. It had been only a little over a week that Pakre had joined the crew and Sean knew the look on her face. She was planning something big this time, and considering what they had just talked about, it was based around that. She had a very sinister smile and mischief in her eyes, as well as a pink tinge to her cheeks. Sean could tell it was a naughty idea.
"So, I have an idea and I need your guys help." Pakre started. Kiskue looked up in shock, like she said that she was going to throw a puppy into a canyon. Sean only smiled. Pakre took that as a yes, but she would have to use some of her womenly charm to influence Kiskue onto her side. She looked at Kiskue. "Now hold on, I don't wanna play any part in any of your schemes. I'm in enough trouble with the captain already." Kiskue said, holding his hands in front of him as if he was trying to keep her away. He actually was. "Come now Kiskue, have you forgotten what she has done to you in the hour she's been awake alone? Just think of what she'll come up with if she plans for two days." Sean said looking at Kiskue, smiling the same mischievous smile Pakre wore. Kiskue thought that over for a minute. If she could plan something as diabolical as stealing all of the crews clothes and hiding in the crows nest in an hour, just think of what she could plan in two days on the person she still wanted payback on. His eyes closed then shot open and looked at Pakre. She smiled cruelly. He sobbed. "Fine, what do you have I mind?"
Pakre looked at Sean. Mouth the words "Than you" to him. She didn't have anything in mind of making Kiskue join in on her plan, and Sean had put the idea of something Pakre would plan up in two days. She didn't have to do anything but smile cruelly at Kiskue to confirm his suspitions, then he was in the palm of her hands. She hadn't thought this plan all the way through, since she had only just woken up. But she knew what she wanted, she wanted a situation where she and Apoo were the only ones on the ship. "I want a situation where the captain and I are the only ones on the ship. Do you think you guys could get everyone off the ship at the next island?" Sean looked at her. She had a look of couriosity. She wanted to know if Apoo really meant what he said to her when she was asleep and not just practicing for another girl in the future or a girl that was waiting for him back home. For the whole time Pakre had been with the On Air pirate crew, she never knew. But she was about to find out for herself, all alone with the captain. "Sure we can, the crew trusts us more than they trust you. But your going to have to plan what to do to the captain, and I can only hope that your not going to rape him.." Sean said calmly. He was looking down at his hands which were resting on his knees. He was leaning on his desk since Kiskue had taken his usual seat. The spinny chair he loved so much. It entertains him when he has no work to do. He would spin around in the chair for hours on end and then stand up to try and stand up straight and walk in a straight line. He knew trying to walk in a straight line dizzy was futile, but he thought it was fun just to try.
He smiled at the thought of Pakre actually trying to rape the captain. He remembered the day after Pakre had joined the crew. He had joined the crew in cowering in the corner of the kitchen trying to stay as far away from Pakre as possible. It was a scary thought back then, but now it seemed like a funny idea now that he knew Pakre wouldn't give up her virginity so soon in the game. From what he saw form her, Sean figured she wouldn't give into lust so easily. She'd want to tempt the captain as long as possible until he finally confessed his love to her directly. She was going to use every aspect of a boys mind to make him crack. "I wouldn't go that far, not unless he asks me to. What I'll do is teas him a little, maybe play a little hide and seek with him in my underwear." Pakre said, bringing her forefinger to her lips and looked up at the ceiling. "Or I could seduce him and make him confess by force." Sean snorted. He could only imagine what she would do seducing someone. Probably more diabolical than a hooker. "Well, whatever you do, make sure you don't go to far, and your going to tell me the whole story afterwords." Sean demanded. The two went on discussing the plan when for when they docked at the next island. Kiskue just sat on Sean's chair and listened in silent horror. How could they be so cruel?
