Heey~

A lot of you caught my rated M comment. Haha. It was fun reading your reviews.

Sithlord8665: No, it's not going to be graphic or stuff so I won't change the ratings. The most sexual thing is going to be them stripping and kissing. So... yeah.

Countcresent: Hahaha, yeah. I loved it when Beckett was trying to catch the fan. His movements were so ackward and funny. And when Barbossa said 'You blew my hat off you bitch.'

.: Ya mean the rated M part? Sorry, I disappointed you.

XXGoldenEclipseXX: Thank you. *bows*

Chapter 14. Made for Each Other

Love, is a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is abitrary
But it's a good excuse that I like to use
Baby I know what to do
Baby I'll, I'll love you, I'll love you, I'll love you

-Valentine (Kinna Grannis)


"Jack." I whispered again. "Hm, love?" He asked, words muffled because he was kissing my neck. "Do you love me?" I asked him. He surprised me by kissing me suddenly on the mouth. He pulled away. "Yes."

I reached up to undo his buttons, and failed. This made him roll his eyes and unbutton them himself. "You must learn how to undo buttons, love." He breathed. I giggled. "Why should I? When you yourself can do it perfectly fine?" I asked him.

He took of his shirt and leaned close. "I insist, love." He said as he leaned in for another kiss. I returned it passionately and he reached behind me to untie my bodice. Fiddling it with a moment, he finally got it off. "You must learn to untie bodices, dear Jack." I whispered. He raised an eyebrow. "Why? When you're not going to wear them anymore?" He asked.

I laughed as I pulled him down next to me. "Are you sure you want this?" He asked me. I thought for a while. "Yes. I love you Jack." I told him as his arm circled around my waist. His mouth moved to my neck, and travelled further down...

I woke up in Jack's cabin, Jack's bed.

Seeing him next to me, I shook him gently. "Wake up. They may be coming any time now." I said to Jack. He woke and kissed me. "Jack, not now." I said. He rolled his eyes. "One more kiss." He bargained. I sighed and gave him another kiss. Getting out of bed, I got one of Jack's shirt and pants and slipped them on, along with my bodice, to which Jack glared at it.

"I don't like you in that thing." He complained.

"Too bad, Jack." I smirked and picked up his clothes, handing them to him, which he slipped on as well. He kissed me again, and I kissed back. There was a knock and the door opened. He ignored the person.

"Captain." It was Gibbs.

"This better be good!" Jack growled as he pulled away from me. Gibbs gulped. "We need you to bring us to Shipwreck cove." He said. Jack rolled his eyes. "Useless fools." I laughed and he slipped his arm around mine.

Together we walked out.

I dropped my arm and walked over to Cheyenne as glanced at me. "Alex, what happened yesterday? You two were yelling and suddenly it was all quiet." She said. "I've been standing here all day. I'm so scared of what he might do."

I bit my lip. I took a deep breath and told her everything. Not missing anything. Except for... the part... you know.

I walked around the deck and met Barbossa. "You did do it with him, didn't you?" He smirked. I glared at him. "Why do you have to know everything?" I snapped at him. He smiled slowly. "I am well informed."

I glared at him and stood next to Jack, who was steering.

"Hello, love." He greeted. I smiled. "Why do you insist on calling me love?" I teased. He glanced at me and smirked. "Aren't you my love?" He asked. I smiled. "Depends... if you think I am or not." I said softly. He smiled and kissed me. I returned it briefly and reminded him to keep his hands on the steering wheel.

"Hard to get, aren't you?" He murmured next to my ear. I giggled. "That's one reason. The other is I don't want to die." I said to him.

"Get a room." Barbossa grumbled to us. "You take care of the steering, I'll go get a room." Jack joked. Barbossa's raised his eyebrow. Jack pulled on me and started towards the cabin. And I realized he was serious.

"No! Jack~" I exclaimed. He sighed and put his hands back on the steering wheel.

"I'm not your wench." I teased him. He raised his eyebrows as I to ask 'really?'. I raised my eyebrows. "Yes, and if you consider that I am, I will not be with you and I will run back to Beckett right now." I answered, struggling to control my emotions.

"I'm disappointed. Does that mean we can't mess around often?" He teased. I nodded seriously. "You know I'm not too secure about it." I said. He looked concerned. "You know I didn't mean it in a serious way, don't you?"

I sighed. "Yes, but it still upsets me."

He nodded and focused on steering. "Do you want to come with me or what?" He asked me. I turned to him. "Where?"

"The Brethren Court meeting." He stated. I studied his expression. And I thought for a while. "Do you want me to?" I asked. He stole a quick glance at me. "Yes." I smiled charmingly at him. "Then I'll come." I replied. He shot me a smile again.

We stepped off the ship into the meeting house or room or something.

Barbossa banged a cannonball that was chained to another cannonball on the table. Everyone turned to him and stared.

"As he who issued summons, I convene this, the fourth Brethren Court." Barbossa announced. Jack stood away from the members of the court. Reason one, he owes them all money. Reason two, he wants to stay with me and doesn't want me to risk getting hurt in their crazed fights and arguments. I smiled a lot when he told me that.

"To confirm your lordship and right to be heard, present now your pieces of eight, my fellow cap'ns." Barbossa said as he got Ragetti to collect each pirate's eights. "Mr. Ragetti, if you will." he said

"I kept it safe for you, just like you said when you gave it to me." Ragetti protested.

"Aye, you have, but now I need it back." Barbossa said. He hit the back of his head, popping his wooden eyeball out. It landed in Barbossa's outstretched hand. He dropped it into the bowl. I made a face. "Ugh." Jack chuckled.

"Sparrow!" The pirate lord Villanueva yelled, seeing that Jack haven't presented his piece of eight. Jack pointed to the coin on his bandana. "Might I point out that we are still short one pirate lord, and I'm content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Feng joins us." He tugged on my hand and we walked forward to the table.

"Who's your wench? She's pretty hot." Someone called out.

I glared at him. Then I walked up to him and kicked him where it hurts. Leaning down, I whispered in his ear. "I am not his wench."

Jack grinned. "Come on now, love. Try not to hurt anyone else." I smiled sarcastically and walked over to him.

"Sao Feng is dead." It was Elizabeth. "He fell to the Flying Dutchman." Everybody started talking and whispering.

"And he made you captain? They're just giving the bloody title away now." Jack said, unbelieving."Listen." Elizabeth snagged the attention back to herself again. "Our location has been betrayed. Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett, they're on their way here."

"Who is this betrayer?" The pirate lord Gentleman Jocard asked. "Not likely anyone among us." Barbossa assured us.

"Where's Will?" Elizabeth asked. "Not among us." Jack answered just as smoothly. And suddenly I noticed he wasn't here either.

"And it matters not how they found us. The question is, what will we do now that they have?" Barbossa asked.

"We fight!" Elizabeth yelled out. Everyone bursted out laughing, except for us. Me, Jack, Barbossa and all of our crew.

"Shipwreck Cove is a fortress, a well supplied fortress. There is no need to fight if they cannot get to us." Mistress Ching said, standing up from her seat.

"There is a third course." Barbossa said. The whole court fell to deadly silence."In another age, at this very spot, the first court captured the sea goddess, and bound her in her bones." Chuckles filled the air, remembering the song that was sung to make them all gather.

Barbossa shook his head. "That was a mistake." He said roughly. It was quiet again. "Oh, we tamed the seas for ourselves, aye, but opened the door to Beckett and his ilk. Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but from the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back alone. Y'all know this to be true." Barbossa went to stand by Elizabeth.

"Gentlemen, ladies. We must free Calypso." Barbossa finished. Everybody went quiet. And then without a warning, everybody started yelling at how wrong Barbossa was.

"I would still agree with Sao Feng, we release Calypso!" Villanueva said. Chevalle stood. This was what caught my attention, I wasn't listening before.

"You threaten me?" He asked

"I silence you!" Villanueva retorted, raising his pistol. Chevalle punched Villanueva, and then everything went crazy. Pirate lords and their crew all started fighting each other. Jack pulled me away from the havoc.

And then there was a loud gunshot and someone was dead.

I clutched at Jack, refusing to let go.

Barbossa fired his gun to silence them. "It was the first court what imprisoned Calypso, and we will be the ones to set her free, and in her gratitude she will see fit to grant us boons."

"Whose boons? Your boons? Utterly deceptive twaddlespeak, says I." Jack finally spoke up.

"If you have a better alternative, please, share." Barbossa narrowed his eyes at Jack.

"Cuttlefish. Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish. Flippant glorious little sausages. Pen 'em up together and they'll devour each other without a second thought. Human nature, isn't it?...or... or...fish nature." Jack put a hand on Mistress Chang's shoulder.

"So yes, we could hole up here well provisioned and well armed and half of us would be dead within the month, which seems grim to me any way you slice it. Or, as my learned colleague so naively suggests, we could release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful. I rather doubt it." He paused. "Can we in fact pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury hell hath no?"

He looked around the room.

"We cannot. Res ipso loquitur tabula in naufragio, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are comin' out of me mouth, Captain Swann. We must fight." He finished. I stared at him, stunned at his long, deep speech.

"You've only ever run from a fight." Barbossa stated. Jack glared at him. "I have not!" He exclaimed. Then they broke into a childish fight of 'have not' and 'have too's.

"Have not, slander and calumny! I have only ever embraced that oldest and noblest of pirate traditions. I submit here and now, that is what we all must do, we must fight...to run away." He finished meaningfully.

"Aye!" Gibbs exclaimed.

"As per the code, an act of war, and this be exactly that, can only be declared by the pirate king." He retorted. "You made that up." Jack protested.

"Did I now? I call on Captain Teague, keeper of the code." He smiled.

Captain Teague walked out. "Code is the law." He said. "You're in my way, boy." He said as he walked up to Jack. Jack quickly pulled on my arm and made way. I recognized him too easily. He looked like Jack too much. I shot him a look. He nodded, understanding my question. Just then Captain Teague looked at us. "Are you...?" He asked finally. Jack nodded.

"Hang on a minute. It shall be the duty of the king to declare war, parlay with said adversaries...fancy that." He said as he read the code from behind of Captain Teague.

"There's not been a king since the first court, and that's not likely to change." Chevalle said.

"Not likely." Captain Teague replied.

"Why not?" Elizabeth piped up. "Because the king is elected by popular vote." Gibbs answered her. "And each pirate only ever votes for hisself." Barbossa added.

"I call for a vote." Jack said. We all looked at him. The pirate lords all voted for themselves... untill it was Jack's turn. He voted for Elizabeth.

"What?" Elizabeth asked, astonished. "I know, curious isn't it?" He said, smiing.

"Why didn't you vote for me?" Jocard demanded angrily. Then, arguments broke out in the room again. Jack held up his hand, which everyone ignored.

"Am I to understand that you lot will not be keeping to the code, then?" He asked.

Captain Teague broke a guitar string, and everyone in the room went silent, clearly intimidated by him. "Very well, what say you Captain Swann, king of the Brethren Court?" Mistress Chang asked, very forcibly.

Elizabeth grinned. "Prepare every vessel that floats. At dawn, we're at war." She ordered.

SeSumbhajee nodded grudginly. "And so, we shall go to war."

Barbossa signaled for Ragetti to take off with the pieces of eight. Jack turned to Captain Teague. "What? You've seen it all, done it all, you survive. That's the trick, isn't it? To survive."

"It's not just about living forever, Jackie. The trick is, living with yourself, forever." He replied. Jack glanced at me. "What about your love?" He asked. Captain Teague looked at me. "She's quite lovely, where did you find a wench like that?"

"She's not!" Jack snapped at him. I smiled. Captain Teague rolled his eyes. "I take it I won't be able to find a wench like that?"

"Yes, they all lack innocence and purity." Jack replied, smiling at me. I blushed. He turned to Captain Teague again. "How's mum?" Captain Teague held out a shruken head. I winced back from the sight.

"She looks great." Jack said.
