A/N:

letter to all my reviewers:

I REALLY TRULY, TRULY LOVE YOU!!!

I took all these good reviews for granted, but i see now that they are good because you really like what i write, and that makes me want to hug you until you suffocate...yes, im kinda a violent one, but still...

anyway, to explain where this sudden outburst of emotion came from...

As i said before, i put up an HP fic i wrote just for myself, and kinda got thrashed with a few not quite so good, but completely true, and reasonable reviews...i took the story off now...

anyway, i learned from it that just because this story got such good reviews, not all my stories will, especially the ones that i wrote just for my private self,for fun, completely ignoring everything that makes stories enjoyable to all other people aside from myself...in other words:a mary sue...please dont think less of me now...

in this story, i have done all i can to keep jack in character, and hope that everything he does is explained reasonably, even though i have only seen the movie once...i do have the script though...

also, i think i developed sword into a good, also reasonable character...

im writing this for you as much as me...thats why i beg for reviews all the time

also, sorry for waiting so long to put this chapter up, i just decided to take a day off and read a book required for my school...srry, had to be done...

oh, one more thing (jezzica), if you want to read anything else i write, just go to my profile...though at the moment i have nothing...except this, and what i would call a short, poorly constructed melodramatic prose for the matrix...

yea, ill stop blabbing now, just wanted to get this out of my system...

I LOVE YOU REVIEWER PEOLPE!!!!!I really do, with all my heart...

mainly:

Jezzika Sparrow

EcklipseKlutz

The Name Changer(the real, official member one)

who keep reviewing and saying such nice things...

Jack hesitated a little, then killed Crooks.Can't show mercy to my enemies...he thought to himself.He missed Sword already.

Rose didn't exactly help the matter."Oooh...'at's cold"she said sarcastically, looking down at the corpse.

Jack just sighed and waved a dismissing hand at her.She was much different from Sword, even if she looked just like her.

"So, where are we goin' now?"she asked, following him out to the streets.

"We?"jack turned back to see if she was serious.

"Aye."declared Rose, smiling slightly, in a way that made Jack want to hurt her for some reason.

"*I* am goin' through 'at gate.*You* can do what ever the bloody 'ell yeh want, love.Savvy?"He said, though still with a grin, looking rather irritable.She reminded him of Elizabeth...wanting to get involved, then just getting in his way.

"I'm goin' with yeh...'at's what I want.Savvy?"She smiled at him, in cold smugness.

"Suit yerself, love"he returned the smug smile."But I wonder where yeh'll find a ship 'at takes yeh there."

"What?"Rose asked, her voice raised in surprise."Yeh wouldn't throw me off yer ship, if we're goin' the same way for the same reason?"

Jack couldn't help but laugh at her surprise."O'course I would...yeh 'ave no right to be on me ship, an ' I've no reason to take yeh."

"Oooh!fine!I'll pay yeh, yeh 'appy?" she said, horribly upset.

Jack grinned more sincerely, and slapped Rose on the shoulder, as hard as he could without seeming like he wanted to hurt her."Aye!'At's the spirit, love!"

"Hah!"Rose exclaimed, disapproveing of Jack's behavior.

After working out the matter of gold, Jack was happier to have Rose on board. After all, It was only about two days journey, and after that, who knew what would happen...who knew?

He wasn't so happy about her hanging around him all the time.He was almost not surprised when she knocked on his cabin door in the middle of the night."What do yeh want?" he asked her tiredly, still lying on his bed, when she deciced to let herself in.His lantern was still lit, though he has been dozing off.

"I..I just wanted to talk to yeh."She said quietly, moving to sit down on his bed.

Jack sat up quickly, and sighed.Great.Talking.Why couldn't she just leave him alone?

Rose seemed to understand his thoughts."I'm sorry if I'm botherin' yeh. I know yeh didn't want me at all to come along."

Jack agreed with this silently."But I let yeh, it's understandable, Sword's yer sister, no matter, no problem."he said with finality, but Rose didn't move, if she did, it was only to be closer to him.

"I didn't come for me sister.I came so I could be closer to yeh." She whispered, sitting even closer to him, looking as if she wanted to kiss him.

Jack sighed again.Of course.Noone could resist Captain Jack Sparrow.He didn't want Rose, though.He didn't love her, and she was, like Sword, too young, and too plain.

But she did look just like Sword...as he looked her in the eyes, he was ready to forget her name, and kiss the mouth that undoubtedly belonged to Sword.

He was ready to forget her name, and who she was, and love her for her outer shell.He missed Sword terribly.He saw her in Rose for a moment.But as their lips got closer, she didn't smile that loving smile, or blush in happiness. She grinned, like someone who just won something in a contest.

Jack pulled away before the kiss happened and took Rose's hands off him.She looked disappointed and surprised.

"Sorry love, I really can't stand yeh." Jack said, not exactly apologetic.

Rose smiled, her anger disguised as disgust."So, the famous Captain Jack Sparrow really fell in love with me miserable little sister!Hah!The Jack Sparrow I 'eard 'bout would never weaken like 'at!Yeh used to be the greatest womanizer ever!How long do yeh think yeh can keep with a single little girl, Jack?Huh?What do yeh say?"

Jack looked outside calmly."I say yer lucky we're sailin' so close to a port right now, and also, I'm 'opin', for yer sake, there aren't any sharks." He picked her up with a grin, took her outside, and threw her off the ship.

He thought he could hear her sceaming angryly back up at him, but went back to his cabin, and slept a little longer.Tomorrow he'd be at the gate.He knew he'd find Sword.He had a feeling it wouldn't even be so hard.

And how long would he stay with her after that?

As long as he loved her.But his love didn't feel like it would go away any time soon...
