Chapter Seven


Janes Point of View

After what seemed an eternity Jane finally reached Jack and the group surrounding him. Jack looked at her with a grin.

"Ye know, you dun 'ave to do this lass.." Jack began to say.

Jane waved her hand impatiently. "I'm sure. What..do you think I'm going to lose?"

Jack raised his eyebrows. "In one word. Yes."

Jane rolled her eyes as she shifted her weight from her left foot to her right. "Alright, yeah whatever. Now who am I going to fight?"

Jack grinned as he pointed to a man that looked like he should have chosen the profession of a wrestler. "His name is Haoba Khan. His me best fighter." Jack said proudly. Jane glanced at Haoba and swallowed. The guy was huge. He was quite tall, had brown hair and black eyes. He had muscles everywhere, seemed that he was made of muscle. For the first time since she had agreed to this, Jane was unsure of her winning. But she just shook her head. She had to think positive. Jane turned to Jack.

"So...shall we begin then?" Jane said with a confidence she no longer felt.

Jack grinned and turned to Haoba as he began to explain the r rules. "Only 'ands may be used in this fight, no swords or anything. And no killing each other." Without another word he moved aside as the crew made a circle around Jane and Haoba. AnaMaria walked pass Jane and muttered "Good Luck."

Jane turned to Haoba and breathed in deeply. She was going to win this, no doubt about it. Jane smiled softly as she watched Haoba closely. She tried to remember everything that she had learnt in her little time of taking classes at the YMCA, and from street fights that she had gotten into a few times. Jane slowly stood in stance as she watched the other man closely, waiting for him to make the first move.

Haoba seemed to not want to make the first move, but he sure didn't want to spend the whole day jus standing there, so he decided that the sooner he beat this girl the better. And with that thought he swung his fists aimed at the side of her head.

Jane saw where Haoba was aiming for almost before he threw his punch and quickly moved out of the way. She did a round a house kick and caught him in his stomach. Funny thing was, he barely flinched. Jane nearly groaned when she realized that this man was going to be more of a challenge then she thought.

Jane and Haoba kept throwing punches, most of Jane's contacting, but none of Haoba's ever contacted. AnaMaria watched in amusement as she saw Jane was correct when she said she was quicker then most of the men. But that didn't mean she was stronger.

Haoba swung a fist aimed at Jane's stomach, she tried to move, but she wasn't quick enough. Anamaria gasped at Jane bent over with her arms around her stomach gasping. Jane knew she wouldn't be able to take too many punches from that giant of a man. Out of the corner of her eye Jane saw Haoba ready to press his advantage. Jane shut her eyes as she felt Haoba's foot male contact with her stomach. The crew all smirked as Jane lost her balance and fell hard. Haoba smirked as he raised his hands, sure of victory.

Jane sucked in her breath and quickly kicked Haoba behind his legs causing him to fall as well. Jane stood up slowly, trying to steady her breathing. Haoba got up as well, fuming. Jane could tell he wasn't too happy that she had knocked him down. But hey, what did he expect? This was a fight DUH! Jane threw a punch, but Haoba moved quickly and grabbed her arm twisting it behind her back. Jane gasped as he began to pull her arm up. She wiggled and squirmed but Haoba was too strong. But there was no way on earth Jane Miller was going to give up. Suddenly she thrusted her elbow back, straight into Haoba's face, contacting with his nose. Haoba howled as blood began to pour from his now broken nose causing him to loosen his grip on Jane as he reached up to stop the bleeding.

Jane twisted out of his grip and quickly did a sweep with her legs, once again making Haoba fall down. But as he began to fall, he reached up and grabbed her hair. With a yelp she fell down with him. Haoba recovered quickly and rolled over so he was nearly sitting on her and he began to punch her, but Jane quickly put a stop to that as she moved her leg and pushed him off of her.

For several long minutes Jane and Haoba fought on the ground neither getting an advantage, but both were determined to win. Jane began to get tired. She noticed that Haoba was also getting tired as his punches slowed down a bit. But she wasn't about to let tiredness get into the way of her victory.

The crew were now clearly convinced that this girl new how to fight, and many began to make bets with each other about who they thought would win.

Jane fell back to the ground with a thud. She was getting very annoyed with this. She rolled to the left as Haoba tried to ram his elbow into her face. Jane stood up quickly and did a scorpion kick aiming, and contacting with his face. He howled and punched wildly at Jane, but his movements were slow enough that Jane was able to grab his arm. She quickly put her foot on his arm, and began kicking the side of his head. She managed to kick him a few times before he was able to get his arm out of her grip, and in turn punched her leaving her dazed.

Jane quickly shook her head, trying to see straight. She knew Haoba now had an advantage, and wanted to get rid of that advantage as soon as possible. Luckily for her she was able to come out of the daze soon enough to move out of Haoba's range. But she quickly changed tactics and ran forward to him, when she was close enough; she jumped and put her feet out straight in front of her. She made contact with his sending him backwards and Jane to the ground. Jane went to him and was about to him again when she realized that he was already unconscious. Jane just stood there panting. Slowly she turned to Jack, who was looking at Jane wide eyed with disbelief.

"I think you need to tell me where we are going now...." Jane said slowly, her eyes beginning to droop. She was about to say something else, before she too slipped into unconsciousness.


Narrators Point Of View
Everyone watched in silence as Jane sunk to the deck. They couldn't believe that this girl had just beaten one of the strongest guys on the Black Pearl. AnnaMaria was the first to com out of the daze as she nudged Jack.

"Jack, don't you think we should tend to those two?"

When Jack didn't answer AnaMaria glanced at him and could tell he wasn't paying the slightest attention to her. She nudged him again.

"Huh?"

AnaMaria rolled her eyes as she pointed to the still forms of Jane and Haoba. "They need to be cleaned Jack, unless of course you want them dead..."

Jack quickly snapped out of his daze as he nodded and began to shout orders to his crew.
Janes Point of View
Jane slowly opened her eyes but quickly closed them again. She was hurting all over. Guess she was pretty out of shape. Jane smiled slightly, at least she won. Once again she tried to open her eyes, this time it didn't hurt as bad. Now she'll finally know where they were headed. That is..of course if Jack Sparrow kept his word.

"Ahem."

Jane turned her head towards the sound and saw AnaMaria sitting on a chair next to her smiling. She was surprised she didn't notice her before.

"Well I see yer finally up eh?" AnaMaria said, still smiling. "I was wondering when ye would wake up.."

Jan frowned slightly. "How long have I been out? What time is it?"

"You've been asleep from last night and most of today, tis almost dinnertime."

Jane nodded. Then she remembered. "Where's Jack?"

AnaMaria's smiled grew, if that was even possible. "He's on deck, and if ye ask me, I think he is avoiding you, seeing as you did win."

Jane chuckled. "What about that guy I fought? Hi..how...hab..han..."

"Haoba."

"Yeah him."

"He's back on deck working"

"So he's ok?"

AnaMaria shrugged. "Physically yes, 'cept fer that broken nose you gave him. But he's pretty sore about losing a fight to a woman, a near girl"

"Aye, and he wants a rematch, said you had him under a spell of some sort." Jack spoke up from the door. He had just come by to see if she was awake. "How ya doin' lass?"

"Better. Not as bad as I probably look." Jane paused for a moment. "Did you grant him a rematch?" Jane asked slowly almost dreading his answer.

Jack studied her for a moment before answering. "No."

Jane let go of the breath she didn't realize she was holding.

"He just wants to beat you up, I wont allow fighting on me ship." Jane nodded again, even though in her mind she knew she would probably avoid Haoba for the reminder of the trip. Jane suddenly remembered WHY she had fought Haoba and she turned to Jack.

"Jack.."

"CAPTAIN." Jack corrected.

Jane sighed; hen was he going to get the idea that she wasn't going to call him captain. "Jack, where are we going?"

Jack groaned inwardly. He had hoped she might forget, but he knew women never forgot anything. Jack glanced at AnaMaria for help, but she just smiled and shrug. She turned to Jane.

"I see you two have some talking to do, I'm goinna go to the helm." And walked off without another word.

When AnaMaria disappeared, Jane turned to look at Jack. "Well..."

Jack sighed as he rubbed his face. After a few moments of silence Jane cleared her throat to remind him that she was still waiting for him to talk. Jack finally decided to tell her and get it over with. "Alright. We're on out way to Che Xi. Happy?"

Jane frowned and shook her head. "No, where and what is Che Xi?"

Jack sighed again. He should have known she wouldn't have just left it at the name. "Che Xi is Chinese for gold city. It's an ancient Chinese village, rumored to be made out of pure gold. Its located some where in the Asian seas."

Jane looked at Jack closely, almost convinced he was drunk, or just plain physco. But for some reason, she decided to believe him, She didn't quite understand why she did, but she did. "So its basically an Elderado?"

"Eliy what?"

Jane just shook her head. "Never mind. But there is one thing I don't get. If the city is a rumored to be made of gold. Then obviously you aren't the only one who knows about it. How do you know if you'll get there in time?"

Jack leaned against the wall and began to wave his hands around. "Simple, no one else is brave enough.."

"Or crazy enough." Jane whispered.

"What did you say?"

Jane smiled innocently. "Nothing."

Jack shrugged and began talking again. "Anyway no one else is brave enough to go because the island is more than half under water and still sinking as we speak."

"Jack, if its underwater, how the heck are you going to get the gold?" Jane asked.

"Have you ever heard of swimming?"

"Yes, but unless you have scuba gear there's not much you can do."

"Scu..ba gear?"

"Its basically some equipment you carry with you so you can see and breath underwater." Jane explained.

Jack stood up. "You can breath underwater?"

Jane frowned when she realized that they didn't have Scuba gear in this time period. Great. "Uh yeah, if you have the gear."

Jack nodded slowly, not really understanding but he figured he could ask more about this scuba gear later. Jack walked over to the chair that anamaria had left and sat own. "Where are ye from lass?"

Jane looked up in shock. Of all questions that wasn't the one she thought he would ask next. "Uh.." What was she suppose to say. 'I just popped up from the future, I dun know how I got here?' Nah he'd think her crazy. Wait, why did she care what he thought about her. Jane shook her head trying to clear her thoughts. Finally she just said. "I'm from Spain." Jane mentally slapped her self. Spain!? Why in the world did she pick that place of all places?

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Spain? You don't look Spanish or talk like a; Spaniard."

Jane huffed. "Just cuz I'm not Spanish doesn't mean I've never lived there."

Jack raised both hands in surrender, not wanting another argument just yet. But he wasn't really sure if he believed her, her eyes kept darting back and forth as if she was making a story up. "Fine, but why did you stowaway?"

"I DID NOT STOWAWAY!" Jane hollered.

"Then how did you end up in my cabin?" Jack asked in his normal voice.

"I don't know ok. That's the truth."

Jacks sighed as he shook his head. "That's not what I wanted to 'ere lass."

Jane looked up at him with rage. "Not what you wanted to hear? You wanted the truth so I told you the truth. What do you mean its not what you wanted to bloody hear?!" Jane said as her voice began to get louder and louder.

"Stop yellin' at me woman!" Jack yelled back.

"Why should I?"

"Cuz I be the bloody Captain of this here ship savvy?" Jack said, trying not to yell anymore. This woman was really trying his patience.

Jane grabbed a pillow and threw it at Jack, hitting him square in the face. "No I do not savvy. I'm not one of your crew jack.."

Jack threw the pillow on the ground. "No your not. You're a bloody stowaway! That's what you are...oof!" He was cut off by another pillow hitting his face. "Stop it ye idiot!!" Jack rubbed his face as he walked to his desk and pulled out one of his bottles of rum. He brought the neck to his lips to take a swig, and nothing came out, "what the..."

"Ooooo Captain, didn't I say that rum was very bad for you health?" Jack looked over at her wide-eyed at Jane who had his rum between her forefinger and her thumb. She was holding it like it was a smelly fish. He paled as she moved it around carelessly.

"Now..Jane...be careful.." Jack said not taking his eyes off the rum. Jane pretended to drop it. "CAREFUL YOU BLOODY STRUMPET!" Jack immediately regretted his words when he saw the hurt on Jane's face, but that was quickly turned into anger. Jack sighed. "Oh no..."

Jane stared hard at Jack. How DARE he call her a strumpet? Jane looked at the rum in her hands and before you could blink, she threw it hard at the cabin wall. But what Jane didn't know, was that Jack was very very fast when it came to the safety of his precious rum. Jack leaped for the bottle of rum and caught it not a second to soon. Jane huffed. Jack looked down at his room and smiled, happy that he saved it from being smashed against the wall.

After setting it under his bed, he turned around at Jane. Jane swallowed slightly as he began to walk towards her, not looking very happy. But before she could do anything he grabbed her arms and pushed her against the wall.

"Don't you ever touch me rum again..savvy?" Jack growled. Jane looked at Jacks fiery eyes. At first she was going to tell him to shove it up his..Jane shook her head. She was in a tight spot as it was so she just nodded her head.

Jack let go of her and went to grab his bottle of rum, but suddenly fell flat. Jane laughed softly as he fell, She couldn't resist tripping him. Jack got up and turned around to look at her. Jane smiled innocently. Jack just frowned as he grabbed his rum and stomped out of the room, muttering something about planks and women. Jane flinched slightly as he slammed the door hard, causing the room to shake.
