Kaoru handed her tickets to the captain and stepped on board. She could feel gaze's on her back. Kaoru didn't pay attention to this, she wasn't here for this, she was here for vengeance.

"Please don't let it be fathers ship......." Kaoru stared into the slowly sinking ship. Her porcelain eyes filled with shock and anger. "Ms.Kaoru, please come with me. There is nothing we can do for your family now." Dr.Genpai stood next to the child watching, waiting for a sign of life, but all they got was the sad song of the burning wood. [I promise daddy, I will kill the person who did this to you. I swear on my life, they will pay!]
Present

"This is your room Ms.Kamiya." Kaoru thanked the servant boy and put her things down. The room possessed a small bed, a drawer for clothing, and a small window.
[I think I am going to get some rest.] Kaoru threw cover's over her body and fell slowly into a deep slumber.
"Lock them into that room. Bring me the finest woman you find on this piece of crap!"
Kaoru heard her door snap open and heard a whimper from her roommate. "Well, well, what have we got here." The voice could have made any child cry for there mother.
Two rough hands pulled Kaoru off the bed and face to face with a hideous man. He stared into her eyes not to see fright, but anger.
Before she could scream a hand covered her mouth. "Don't worry beauty, you belong to the captain now." Kaoru opened her mouth and bit down as hard as she could. As the hand was removed from her mouth she stomped down hard on the man's foot.
"I belong to no one!" She jumped over him as fast she could and out the door. She was afraid for her life. Kaoru ran past pirates and screaming passengers but did not stop. If she had stopped to glance around she would have probably started fighting the pirates.
[I can't help them....I vowed to find my family's killer. Or to find if any members of my family are still alive.] She had to find a special hiding place, or maybe a rowboat to get her away from the ship.
"Sano, Get that woman and bring her to me!" Kaoru heard a smooth sound of this voice, but didn't pay attention. I mean, out of all the women they surely didn't mean her.
Kaoru felt hands wrap around her waist. In instinct she turned and kicked for the head. Her kick stopped as it almost collided with the pirates head.
What she saw made her fall to the wooden floor. The pirate also was in shock but put his hands out to not let anyone approach. "Sano, what's the matter?"
[How can this be? I thought he died on fathers ship.]

"Sanosuke.............Is that really you? Big brother?"
