Chapter 5
Kuja and Yue arrived at the small port to see but one medium-sized ship at the dock. "Perfect," Yue said. "They're still here. ' She strode calmly up to an immense, gruff, unkempt looking man, seeming to have every confidence in the world. "Oy! Baku, ya dumb jerk! 'Ow ya been, mate?" She yelled, her voice even changing an octave to fit with the accent that she was using.
'Baku?!!' Kuja thought. 'Oh shoot... he knows who I am... this is bad...' But of course, Baku didn't seem to notice him at all. "Oh? Aye! Yue! I've been good, an' you?" Finally, the large, somewhat furry man noticed that the winged girl was not alone. "Eh? You've got a friend there, who is he--- AAAARGHHHH!!!! KUJA!!!" Baku tried to stumble away from him as if he was but a nightmare. "Blank! Marcus! CINNA! HELP!!!!!" Zidane's three friends ran out of the ship and to their friend. Blank, seeing Kuja, didn't scream or hide (like their "leader"), he simply glared at the white haired young man.
Kuja was rather confused. He had most expected the red haired man to attack him first, he had been Zidane's best friend! He voiced his question aloud. "Why don't you kill me? I know that I deserve it." All four "pirates" looked quite surprised. Blank shook off his astounded state and answered. "Zidane asked us to look out for you, and not kill you. He seems to like the insane idea that you saved him. We're supposed to get you to Alexandria so that he can give you the key to your stupid house." Kuja replied to Blank's loathing statement quietly. "I would much be in your debt, sir."
Baku then interrupted the very uncomfortable silence, tried to regain his composure. "Whatever... so, Yue! Where'd ya meet Zidane's bro?" Yue looked a bit distant as she answered. "The village." "Oh..." Said Baku. "Eh... You goin' back this time?" "No, not now. Maybe never."
"Good for you!" Cinna burst out, waving his hammer. "You can come with us!" "Yeah!" Marcus agreed. "Zidnae really wants to meet you! Dagger too, she want ta learn 'bout High Summoners and all that shit about the damned 'Divines' that act more like demons." Yue smiled. "Of course. I quite accept your kind offer!" She at last seemed somewhat happy. But, the crew looked at her somewhat amused. Baku spoke up.
"Now Yue, what did we say about your pretty speech 'round us common blokes?" "Oh!" Yue suddenly remembered. "Sorry! Umm... I mean... WHAT'RE YOU BLITHERIN' ON 'BOUT, ya stupid sea dog?!!! Learn some respect for women, ya scumbag!! A'course I'm comin' with ya, why wouldn't I? Now, hurry up and hoist anchor! I want us to be out to sea ten minutes ago!" All four "sea dogs" sheered. Yue looked a bit embarrassed. And Kuja smiled. He was doing that a lot... And he was starting to like it. ------- --------------------------------------------- Later, at sea.
Kuja had never liked boats. Now he was remembering why. Baku, on the other hand, was quite amused. "HARHARHARhar!!!! The evil madman's sea sick! So scary!!!" Kuja glared at him as much as he could. 'Idiot, why can't he just shut up? Damn, I should just make him shut up... it would be soooo easy... no, no I can't... shoot!' Yue was sitting next to the young Terran, who was leaning over the side of the boat, vomiting his stomach out, and she was holding his long white hair away from his slightly green face. Blank's scarred face popped up from behind a stack of barrels, and, seeing Yue, he walked out with a small box in his hands.
"Hey Yue." He said. The winged girl looked up at him. "Oh, hi Blank. Whatcha got there?" she asked. Blank grinned mischievously. "You still like chocolate?" he asked. "Is that what's in the box???" "Yup! Marcus 'n' me picked it up on our last trip to Burmecia. All for you! I hope you like i---!" He was cut off when Yue lept up to give him a hug.
"Oh! Thank you Blank! Thank you Marcus!... wherever you are... I love chocolate!" She gently opened the box. "Chocolate Truffles!"
Baku cut in. "Some of 'em got raspberry stuff in 'em!" Yue quickly closed the box.
"Something wrong, Yue?" Blank asked, somewhat worried that he had chosen the wrong thing.
"No," she said. "If I didn't close the box, I know I would've eaten them all!" I want to save them! And poor Kuja! Here we are, talking about chocolate, and he's getting so sick! Baku? Would ou put these in my room, please?"
"Yeah, alright." He walks off with the small box, contemplating how much she'd hurt him if he took some.
"Blank?" Yue asked. "How much longer until we get to Lindblum? I want to ride an airship! I've wanted to ride in one ever since you told me about all of you and Zidane's adventures! It'll be as if I was really flying... Won't it?"
"Ummm... We should b-be in Lindbl-blum in a few hours... but... uh..." he stuttered. Airship rides could get very expensive..
"I'll pay for it." Kuja spoke up. "It would be the least I could do. Miss Yue saved my life."
"Oh! Thank you, Kuja!" She said, her face full of glimmering hope and happiness. "I want to know what clouds feel like! This will be so much fun!"
