Disclaimer: I only own Melody/ Kino, Toriko, Mota, Luep and Niko. And the new one! XD Oh, and the creepy pirate!
What a lazy boy I am. I had just woken up from my slumber, only to eat a snack, then fall back asleep. And I feel asleep on an unconscious girl, no less. Wait, I realize that that sounded quite a bit dirty, but let me explain. I am no ordinary boy, you see. I am fairy. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I dislike that term, 'pixie' is not any more flattering, but I am what I am. I am probably just a bit longer than an average person's hand, I have the pretty, purple translucent wings, the most adorable pointed ears (if I do say so myself), a quite dashing ensemble woven together with tiny green leaves, and the warm, deep purple glow. Yes, my special color is purple, how emasculating. Even the shaggy mop of hair on my head is of the deepest purples, le-sigh. How I envy the other fairies, with their bright hues of gold and green, while I am stuck with purple. I often find myself wondering about such a color, so uncommon for a male fairy, any fairy really. I suppose that my bloodline is to blame. I know that I am fairy, maybe a dash of pixie, but I have these tiny pointed incisors, quite uncommon for a creature like myself. I do not know what other ethnicity that I possess, but, as I mentioned before, it must be the thing at fault for my peculiar coloring.
But enough about me, I tend to ramble to myself when there is no one around. I titled by head up to look up at the girl I was trying to warm. Such a small girl in comparison to the pirates I was so accustomed to seeing, although, she still dwarfed me by size comparison. I chuckled, far too manly to giggle, as I pushed a lock of her dirty blond hair behind her ear. I stood up, floating up to be at eye-level with her ear. I floated close to her ear, tinkling sweet nothings into her ears. Quite a cute girl she was, I told her this in my voice of silver bells. Being the male fairy that I am, my voice is not nearly as beautiful as the golden bells that the female fairies possess.
My breath tickled her ear, for she shifted in her sleep as I began to whisper. I quieted when I felt that she had moved too often, for I did not want to wake her just yet. I had a feeling that she would need all the sleep that she could get while on this ship. I floated along, stopping inches away from her nose. I studied her face, she had a scab forming over a small incision on her right cheek, dried blood trailing down her cheek. That was not all, she had dirt smudged all over her face and a bump forming on the side of her forehead. I floated away from her, wandering the deck for the puddle of water I had been searching for before I had seen her. I found it in seconds, only to be faced with another predicament. How ever would I get that water to her face? I scooped water up in my hands, they were larger than a female fairy's hands, but they were still tiny. I hurriedly flew over to the girl, splashing the water on her cheek. Thankfully, there was so little water in my hands that it did not disturb her from her slumber. I rubbed her cheek gently, trying to peel the dried blood off. When I had succeeded, I went back to the puddle to get more water for the dirt on her face.
"Much better." I mumbled, wiping the sweat from my brow.
I heard a clanking of chains, followed by the gruff voice of a pirate, "'ey, girlie." he said in a raspy voice, kicking open the door. He held a wooden board in his hands, a tin cup of water and a grilled fish lying atop it, "Breakfast."
I covered my mouth to keep from yelping as I dove under her shirt, pressing myself up against her stomach, trying to make as little a bulge as possible. "Sorry." I whispered, knowing she would not appreciate this if she were awake.
I could hear the heavy steps of the man as he approached. I held my breath as he spoke.
"'Ey, lookit me when I tal' to ya." he slurred, placing the tray on the floor in front of the girl. He squatted down in front of her, waving his hand in front of her face. "Are you awake?" he asked. When the girl did not respond, an evil look spread across the man's face.
I did not like that look one bit.
The man inched closer to the girl, his hand outstretched. His fingers trailed down her stomach, venturing a way it definitely should not go.
This burned me up, how could he do this to an unconscious girl? Before he was able to go too far, I opened my mouth wide, clamping down onto his hands, my pointy little teeth finally doing some good, for I was sure I had drawn blood.
The man screamed, withdrawing his hand, waking the girl at the same moment.
"Mmmm ..." she groaned, starting to sit up.
The pirate wasted no time as he scrambled out of the room, slamming the door behind him. He fiddled with the chains, locking the door before taking off.
I quickly flew out from my hiding place, floating in front of her. I was eager to finally meet her.

I woke to screaming and the clanking of chains. I groggily sat up, my head was thumping and I had a pain in my neck. I rubbed my eyes, a yawn escaping my lips.
"Hey, sweets." I heard a deep tinkling of bells.
'Fairy Language.' I mumbled myself. That is strange, why can I understand it? I opened my eyes, a glowing ball of deep purple floating in front of me.
"Wha?" I asked, rubbing my eyes again.
The ball of purple light floated closer to me. I could see him much more clearly now. It was a tiny boy. He was quite cute, he looked like a miniature teenager, maybe seventeen years of age. He had deep purple hair down to his chin in spiky little strands, with bangs to match, cut just above his eyelids. He had the most piercing eyes I had ever seen, dark orbs holding a mischievous look in them. He wore the most dashing ensemble of leaves. "Who are you?"
He grinned at me, jabbing a thumb to his chest, "The name's Zephyr." he gave quite a charming bow in mid-air, "At you're service."
He couldn't help but smile, "Hiya." I grinned. "I'm Mel-oh, wait." I stopped, looking down.
"I hope I'm not being too forward here, but would you mind if I called you 'Sweetie?' I've always fancied calling a girl that." he held his chin in his hand, as he looked at me from the corner of his eye.
What a cutie he was, "Sure, if you like."
He grinned at me, what a charmer. "Well, Sweetie ..." he stopped, "I quite like the sound of that." he mused.
I giggled, throwing my head back. What I saw greatly worried me. "Where am I?"
"You, my dear, are on Captain Hook's pirate ship." Zephyr said solemnly.
I froze, my memories of earlier flooding back to me. "Oh ..." I looked down, how did I get into this mess?
I felt a small hand on my cheek, "Now, don't be sad, Sweetie." he said in a cheerful tone. "It's not all bad, I mean, you met me." he chuckled.
I smiled, my eyes trailing down to the fish on a board on the floor. "Is that for me?" I asked hopefully, fully remembering that I had not eaten in a full day.
"Sure is, dig in."
I grasped the fish, hungrily devouring it, chugging the water in the tin cup. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, catching Zephyr giving me an amused look out of the corner of my eye.
He chuckled, "At least you're feeling better."
I felt my face flush, a grin desperately trying to cover it up. I stood up, wandering around the small room. It was nothing special, just a whole lot of hay and rotting wood. I wrinkled my nose in distaste, what a dump! It really smells in here, too!
"Nothing much, ne?" Zephyr smiled, landing on my shoulder.
I grinned at him, wincing when his hand accidentally touched the deep purple bruise on my neck.
"Sorry, Sweets." he grinned sheepishly.
I shook my head, "It's okay." I looked around, "By any chance, is there a way out of here?" I asked hopefully.
He shook his head sadly, "I don't know of one for someone of your size."
"Figures." I sighed. I held out my hand, Zephyr landing delicately on my palm. "So, what brings you here?" I asked.
Zephyr looked down, "I ... I ..." he heaved a heavy sigh, "It's complicated."
I bobbed my head, "It's alright, you don't have to tell me."
"One of these days, I'll get around to it." Zephyr's grin was back and mischievous as ever.
I smiled at him, what a sweetheart.
He flicked my chin softly, "So, tell me about yourself." he gave me charming smile.

Peter slashed through the branch of a tree, he had come across a small clearing. It was here where the trail of goo ended.
"This is where I saw her last." Toriko said, instantly regretting the way he had phrased that.
"Which way should we go now?" Niko asked, plopping down on the ground.
"This way!" Mota and Luep shouted, each pointing in opposite directions. A look of anger flashed across their eyes. They had been much more irritable lately.
Toriko shot them a look, warning them not to start. "This way, I think they went this way." Toriko began to walk in a different direction.
"I doubt it." Peter mumbled.
"Why?"
"It doesn't feel right. I don't think that it is the way." he scratched his head.
"How can you be so sure?' Toriko asked.
"It's a gut feeling." he muttered. Peter was always one to live following his emotions alone.
Toriko shook his head. "I'm sure that I saw them go this way." Toriko thrust his head in the opposite direction of Peter.
Peter glared at him, "Well, do what you want." he shrugged.
Toriko seethed, "Fine." he snapped, turning on his heel and marching off in his chosen direction.
"Toriko, wait!" Niko cried out, running after the older boy.
Peter turned and walked off in the direction he had chosen, not bothering to look back.
Mota and Luep looked at each other.
"Peter?" Luep asked.
"Sure, you picked lunch yesterday." Mota shrugged, trotting off after Toriko and Niko.
Luep ran after Peter, figuring that Toriko would need the most help should trouble rear its ugly head.
I tried not to make it too 'cliffie' this time! XD I have a question, Sare, where did you find out about Tink's friend Terrence? That interests me, so, if possible, could you let me know? And MangoFlavored x3? Thingy McPerson? You gave me a new phrase! Tinklebelt? ADORABLE! Made me giggle! XD
