Raindra: I love the fact you read this from the beginning to get caught up. Thank you for your comments and review. I hope you like the update and what I have left in store for our favorite charries XD.

Knyttet: I'm working on it, but my computer has a virus and cuts off after every half-hour and then slows down in between. I'm also having issues coming up with a way to tie everything together. I am trying, all I ask is you and my other readers/reviewers hang in there.

DarkShdowDreams: First, welcome reviewer to the shout-out group. Second, thank you for your review. I always love seeing new people review, just like I love seeing my regular reviewers reviewing. I'm glad you think I've managed to keep Kid in character, it's not as easy as I would have thought when I first started this story. As for Killer, well, I see him as being more malleable in a way of how he acts. He acts one way with Rin and Destiny, and another with others. I'm glad you like my story so far, and I hope to see you sticking with me to the end.

CopraMeow: Haha, yeah. I thought it about time I showed that Rin herself was having issues without getting any. As for Rin's fear, being completely honest...I forgot what it was originally that I had planned to be her fear, but I know the gist of the reason why. Vegapunk will make his appearance in due time and as for Akainu, well, he was kinda loved in DLS. Okay, that wasn't true, but still. He was Kat's father and had to be shown a little bit of love at least. Though, not so much in this one and you will soon find out why.

Yumi Sawamura: You've got to stop betting or whatever it is you're doing that you keep losing. That, or let me know in advance so I can help you out lol. Rin's fear has nothing to do with the anime unless you want to think of the issues between pirates and marines being anime related, in which case, yes, her fear is. It's a silly little fear, but one that weighs heavily on Trinity. You'll see what I mean when I get to that part in the story. As for Destiny and her cockblocking skills...we'll see what happens lol XD


Fresh air. That was the only thin on just about everyone's mind as the ship docked on the side of the island the log pose had been pointing to for the past couple of weeks. Trinity could see forest further inland away from the beach and wondered what else could be on the island. She heard Kid barking orders to the crew as she walked out of the dining hall and up to the railing on the second level of the ship. Leaning forward on her arms, she watched the red-head command the crew with the authority that belonged solely to the captain. It had been more than a month since the last time she and Kid had had sex and she was starting to see every little thing about the red-head to be a turn on. The way he yelled, the way he barked out orders; fuck, even the way he crossed his arms in front of his bare chest was enough to make her feel an almost foreign feeling between her legs. She needed to get laid, but that was easier said than done as of late, and it was slowly driving the young musician insane.

Shaking her head and trying not to think about it anymore, Trinity turned and started heading for Chamberlain and Jordan's room. The two seemed to always know where Destiny was and Trinity needed the girl so they could get some new clothes for her. Somehow, all the clothes she'd made for the girl kept disappearing.

Stopping in front of the two men's bedroom, Trinity lifted her hand to knock but froze whens he heard voices screaming out from the other side of the wooden door.

"Harder Chamberlain, harder!"

Jordan's voice shouted from inside the room and Trinity's face lit up like a Christmas tree as she recognized the tone of ecstasy in the young blue-haired boy's voice when she'd heard it.

'Maybe it'd be best if I came back later.'

She thought to herself before being interrupted by another sound from within the Navigator and Assistant Navigator's room.

"Please, more!"

'Yep, I'm just gonna come back later.'

Trinity thought to herself before turning and going to Kid's office which was mainly used for when the red-head felt like brooding, throwing a temper tantrum, or talk about 'big boy' things. Kid always kept a bottle or two of Rum in the desk and she could definitely use a drink.


Whirling around on his heel, Killer sent one of his blades straight for Destiny's face only for her to duck under his arm, dive between his legs, then come up behind him and hold one of her sai to his jugular while the other was positioned at his back where she could shove the three-pronged blade into his kidneys and cause major bleeding that could kill him or strike the base of his spine and cripple him. He was completely at her mercy.

"You've improved."

He told her and could tell she was smiling. Grabbing a hold of her hand, knocking the sai from her grip, turning and using her own body weight against her to pull her against this chest, then bending her arm to move the way he pleased, Killer held her own sai against her throat, smirking behind his mask.

"But you still have a long way to go."

He told her. He was about to move to release her when she rammed her heel into his shin, elbowed him in the gut, grabbed his forearm and flipped him over her back before retaking her sai from him and holding one to strike the artery in his throat and the other poised to strike a part of him he'd very much like to keep attached to his body and unharmed.

"Not nearly as far as you think Killer-san."

She responded and Killer smirked again, though the action was hidden behind his mask. It looked like his student was slowly becoming like his sister.

"That makes what, three for you this week?"

He asked as she stepped back, allowing him to get to his feet.

"Four."

She corrected him and the masked blonde simply shook his head.

"You've done well in the past couple months."

He praised her and this time he could see the smile on her face from his words.

"Go get washed up and the rest of the day is yours to do with as you please."

He told her and received a node from the girl before she ran off.

Killer sighed to himself before he heard his stomach growl. Laughing slightly at how he hadn't noticed it until now, the blonde headed for the galley to see if there was anything to eat. Most of the crew was off doing whatever Kid told them to since they'd docked at a new island, he himself would go see it after getting something to eat. Knowing that, Killer hand't been expecting to see anyone in the galley when he walked in, least of all his sister.

"You too?"

He asked as he walked over to the pot on the stove and smiled behind his mask at the fact there was soup simmering in it. Their cook was a rather thoughtful man considering the crew he was a part of.

"Huh? Oh hey Nii-Killer."

Trinity said when she heard his voice and turned to look at him.

"No, I came here because I needed to kill some time, but I guess I don't need to now since I can just ask you."

She said and Killer looked at his sister with a raised eyebrow as he sat down with his bowl of soup. He heard the click of the lock and looked up at his sister to see a trendil of her spirits return to her and saw her offer him a small smile.

"Thanks."

He said before reaching up behind him and unlatching his mask, removing it and setting it down on the table.

"What did you want to ask?"

He asked as he ran a hand through his hair. It had gotten rather long and he half thought about cutting it, maybe not all of it, but his bangs at the very least.

"Have you seen Destiny? I wanted to see if she wanted to come with me to the island to get her some clothes, hers seems to keep disappearing."

Trinity asked and Killer couldn't help but smile at knowing just why Destiny's clothes kept disappearing.

"Last I saw her she was heading for her room, you can probably find her there."

He informed her and saw her nod before getting to her feet.

Killer waited until he heard the door close before moving to go flip the lock, only to stop upon hearing it click. His sister was definitely one of a kind. Even without a word being said between them, she knew what was on his mind.


"Dresses are out, but that still leaves shirts, pants, shorts, and more."

Trinity said as she and Destiny walked around. She had been so happy to see Trinity since her training with Killer hadn't left her with much free time.

"I can really get anything I want?"

Destiny asked, turning to look up at the older woman.

"Of course you can. You need clothes since yours keep disappearing and if anyone says anything about it just tell me and I'll take care of it, okay sweetie?"

Trinity said and Destiny smiled up at her. In the time she'd spent aboard the Kid Pirate's ship and with the crew, Destiny found she realized how much she missed having a family. How much she had missed out with how the villagers had treated her. As Chamberlain had explained to her when she'd asked him about her feelings and why she felt so happy around the crew or upset when someone was mad at her, she had come to realized she loved them and think of them as her family. When Jordan had asked what she thought of everyone, she'd said she felt like he, Chamberlain, Heat, and the rest of the crew felt like brothers. Then Chamberlain asked what she thought of Killer and she had to think a bit before saying he felt like an uncle to her. The only thing that confused Destiny was when Chamberlain asked her what she thought of Trinity and Kid. Trinity had been kind of easy as she came to realize she thought of the older woman as a mother. She wasn't really sure what she thought of Kid until Jordan suggested father since she thought of Trinity as a mother.

To be honest, she didn't know what she thought of Kid. She had never spent more than a few minutes in the same room with him and that was only when Trinity or Killer was there. He scared her, especially since she saw him mercilessly kill innocent people and laught with what seemed like joy as he did it. The entire crew seemed to enjoy it, Trinity too but she never killed the innocent. Did Destiny really think of Kid as a father? No, but then what did she think of the red-haired captain?

"Destiny, you coming?"

Trinity's voice asked, bringing Destiny back from her thoughts to see the blue and black haired woman holding open a door for her.

"Sorry Rin!"

She apologized before running into the store. Even as they browsed through the clothes, Destiny couldn't stop thinking about Kid. She didn't know what she thought of him, yet she couldn't help but wonder...what did he think of her?
