Chapter 3

That night Eriol's crew were having a party. Drinking, singing, and dancing were all included. No one seemed to be bothered by Tomoyo's presence since she stood a far watching them with a smile. How much did she miss them all. They were all her brothers in heart, every single one of them, as kind and gentle as their captain.

She laughed at their silliness and sighed sadden to have left.

As she gazed around them all her eyes came upon Eriol who chatted joyfully with his pals while drinking. How lovely he was. Smiling like a little kid with nothing to worry about, but mature to lead his ship to victory.

"He would have been a good father." Tomoyo whispered, sadly smiling while clutching her heart that somehow pained.

"A father you say?"

Startled by the voice, the lady jerked her head around to find Spinel walking towards her direction with an amused look upon his cute cat face.

"Ah Spinel. Eriol's most trusted feline. How are you doing?" Tomoyo greeted.

"Fine. Just great, and how about you malady?"

Tomoyo chuckled, "Great."

Spinel grinned, "So did I heard the word father?"

Tomoyo tried to hide her worries by smiling, "Nope."

"Indeed you have changed my girl." Spinel spoke as he observed her figure. "Don't be afraid to tell the truth. One way or another things might be revealed."

Tomoyo sighed, "It's nothing important." She lied while holding her tears behind, "Nothing at all you silly cat."

Spinel laughed, "A silly cat I am but wise as his master."

"Hey Tomoyo! Come and join us!" spoke a few drunk men at the crowd of dancing people.

Tomoyo chuckled. "Well they're calling me. It was good talking to you again Spinel." with that said she ran towards the group.

Spinel only observed the young lady laugh and take the cup of beer offered to her hands. He sighed with a knowing smile, maybe things might change for her, and she might not have to worry much about life.

Eriol led the drunk lady into his cabinet room. She knew that she would get drunk easily, but Tomoyo insisted on drinking with the men all night long.

As Eriol closed the door behind, he turned to catch Tomoyo undressing herself to sleep.

"Hey calm down there!" spoke Eriol blushing as he stopped her from taking her bra.

"Hic, what are, hic, you doing?" she asked.

"Stopping you from exposing yourself naked in front of me." Eriol replied with a grin.

Tomoyo laughed, "Thank, hic, you."

He sighed at her siliness. "Ok, lets get you to be bed."

"Hic, right now?" she spoke in disappointment.

"Yes right now."

"Hic, but I, hic, want to dance!"

"No you don't." Eriol insisted as he pushed her towards the bed near the window.

Tomoyo turned to face the gentleman as she smiled beautifully at him. She let her body press agaisnt him while tracing a finger down his face to his soft lips. Eriol stood there watching her and couldn't help but to feel his heart beat faster.

Drunk, but still beautiful under the silver moonlight. How much did he miss her.

No matter what he did or tried he couldn't get rid of the stupid feeling called love. He despised her for that, but at the same time felt somehow grateful. Tomoyo was the only woman that accepted him for who he relly was, not because of his fame or richness. Despite the fact that she stole away his treasures and left, the time they spent together was proof enough for him that they were really in love. Although he did not admite his feelings he still cherished those moments inside.

"Eriol." she whispered silently, bringing him back from his thoughts.

"Yes." he replied while holding her close to him.

"Would you not..." before she could finish her sentence the lady fell asleep in his arms.

Eriol sighed as he lift her up and delicatly placed her onto his bed. He took a glimpse of her mesmerizing figure before covering her up with a blanket and leaving the room.

Tomoyo woke up with a great headache the next morning.

She never had enjoyed drinking but the thought of escaping her troubled mind led her to her drunkenness. With a sigh of disapproval of her attitude, Tomoyo laid back down onto the bed as she looked out of the window to see a small island a far.

Memories from the past began to flash back into her mind. The pirates from Blow had destroyed everything she loved.

With anger, Tomoyo quickly got up and put on some clothes before opening the door to find the ship empty. She quickly then picked up a horn that they kept inside a barrel. This horn usually announced any emergancies. Well, this was sort of an emergancy.

With a great blow, the noise pierced throughout the ship, as suddenly a crowd of men began to standpede themselves out of the basement with an alarmed expression on their faces. They all held their weapons high to attack, but they only found Tomoyo standing there with a satisfied smile.

Eriol appearing among the crowd, made his way through to met up with Tomoyo. He snatched the horn away from her hands and frowned.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling you all for a meeting."

"Your insane! Do you want to scare us to death by thinking that we were under attack?!?"

Tomoyo only laughed. "Sorry."

"Think this is funny?" he grinned to hear that twinkling sound of her laughter.

"No captain." she answered sarcasticly with a sheepish smile.

"Alright, tell me what's the big emergancy."

"We are almost there. We must prepare ourselves."

"We are prepared. We know the strategy." Eriol answered.

"We have to revise everything again. This plan has to work." she insisted in seriousness.

"It will Tomoyo. I promise it'll work." he assured, making her feel protective like always when he was around.

"Don't you trust me?" he added.

"More than you think." she replied with a smile.
