AN: Ok this is chap 4. I hope you enjoy it
The Pirate Queen
Chap 4
Heero gulped. He didn't know what to think. "Ummm... well... ok" he gave a nervous smile.
Relena smiled and tapped the sharp edge of the undrawn cutlass on her cheek, just to intimidate him. "Lets see what do I want of you? I don't want you in here with Wufei. No, I don't trust what he might do to you. Hmmm I don't want you anywhere near Duo. No, he'd turn you into him. I can't have that now can I? Maybe Quatre or Trowa? Hmmmm. Tell me, Heero, was it? Well what do you think is best for you?"
He thought for a moment "hmmmmm well I'm pretty good at sailing. I can sail anything. Or maybe fighting. I can fight pretty well ya know. I can fight with a weapon too. My family tells me I'm a pretty good cook too. Hmmmmm I'm pretty good with kids too. Hmmmm what else?"
"That's enough! I've got it!" Relena smiled "You... will... be... a caretaker. For... KASSY!" she pointed to her with the sword.
Kassy's eyes went very wide "WHAT! NO. NO WAY. FORGET IT! I DON'T NEED NO CARETAKER!"
"hmph oh yes you do. I can't always be there to take care of you." Relena glared at the young pirate, then pointed to Heero "YOU will take care of her. if anything happens to her I WILL kill you understand?"
Heero nodded "o... of course." He gave a nervous smile
"Good now you'll be staying in my cabin cause that's were the brat sleeps. You will report to me every night. If you or her leave my ship or wish too, then tell me. You will eat, sleep, or anything else only when I say so. You got all that, my little nursemaid?" the pirate captain's eyes gleamed somewhat wickedly.
Heero nodded again "Hai ma'am."
"Good now I want you to..." Relena was interrupted by laughter, coming from non-other then duo. "what's so funny Maxwell?"
"well, cap, it's just that she's gonna kill the poor guy." The braided pirate responded. He looked from Kassy to Heero then back to Relena.
"shut up. You poor excuse for a woman." Wufei yelled at poor duo "the cap'n knows what she's doin'" 'At least I hope so' he added mentally.
Relena smiled. "heh meet some of your crew mates, mate. The one with the braid is Duo Maxwell,my 1st mate. I'm sure you've met him. The one that came to get you earlier is Trowa Barton, my Spy. The nice blond is is Quatre Raberba Winner, my 2nd mate and my trusted navigator. The Chinese man is Chang Wufei or just Wufei. He's the chef. You know Kassy, your new charge and i heh i am Relena Darlian, your captain."
Kassy glared at Heero then at Relena.
she didn't say a word as she stormed out of the galley.
"what are you waiting for, Mr. Heero, an invitation? follow her." Relena said boardly to Heero
he grumbled things under his breath and followed the mini-pirate. 'how the hell do these things always happen to me?' he silently mused
when Heero finally found Kassy, she was sparring with a wooden opponent in the training center below decks.
"hey" Heero called. Kassy gave him a death glare then turned back to the wooden training partner. her attacks became more violent and wild. she hated that she had to be babysat.
Heero raised an eyebrow. 'gets weirder and weirder. who woulda known? -- stupid pirates.'
with Relena
"So how long do you think he'll last?" Relena asked her friends and crew members.
"I bet he only last a day or two before he's begging to be killed or thrown over board" Wufei snickered a bit as he washed the dishes.
"I think he'll last a week or two." Trowa responded calmly as he dried the dishes.
"No he looks pretty strong. i think he'll last at least a month, maybe more." Quatre replied as he put up a plate.
Duo smirked at his friends. "I think he'll make Kassy do a 180 and straiten her out. in other words, I think he'll last until the Bloody Dove is disbanded." he smirked again
The boys at the counter washing, drying, and putting up the dishes stopped and looked at Duo. Relena gave a smirk that could out do Duo's and lifted the mug of ale to her lips. she took a sip then said, "I couldn't agree more. Yes i think he'll last. he looks like the type that is familiar with the sea. Yuy is a name I recognize, ya'll should too. Do any of you remember captain Ishito Yuy?"
"Hmmmm come to think of it, miss Relena, I do remember that name." Quarte said tapping his chin with a plate. "It was a famous name when we were still nobles. he was a pirate, right, Lena?"
Relena nodded "Very good Quatre i see you remember your history. Can any one else answer?"
"Before you, Captain, he was the most feared pirate on the 7 seas. correct?" Trowa looked at his captain.
She nodded again and took another drink of her ale "yes that is correct, Trowa. he was my roll model when i was young. perhaps that's why i am as feared as i am? well no matter. Wufei, can you tell me something about him?"
"yea. he got arrested when he and his crew tried to take over the most powerful navy ship in all of the States and Britain. i was there at his hanging. standing by me were a women and her son, bout my age, 10 or so. they both had hate in their eyes for only one man: Ishito yuy!" Wufei looked at Relena "Lena, are you implying that that kid back then is on this ship."
Relena put down her ale. "i dunno. i could just be a coincidence, but I'm not sure. he looks like Ishito, but he doesn't have the blood lust. i thought he might when i saw his eyes when he was 1st brought here, but now... i just don't know." she finished her ale in one quick gulp, handed it to Wufei, and left.
they all stared after her. "do you think she gonna ask him?" Quatre asked
the rest nodded. then Duo grinned
"Maxwell what's your problem?" Wufei snarled at the braided pirate
"well wouldn't be cool if Heero really is Ishito's son and then cap'n Lena fell in love with him? huh , am i right or am i right?" Duo beamed
"hmmmm yes i supposes. falling in love with you idol's son would be interesting. hopefully she'll tell us if he is or not." Trowa said as he dried off Relena mug.
with Heero
"wow your pretty good" Heero complimented Kassy. it had been about an hour since he had come in on her. (don't worry about the time line. pretend Relena and the guys were talking for about an hour. k? good)
Kassy snorted "of course I'm good. I've been doing this for years. I'm 'm almost 16 ya know? i bet you thought i was just some stowaway, huh?"
Heero didn't answer. Kassy murdered incouheint things under her breath. most along the lines of 'idiot men'
"YUY!" both Heero and Kassy groaned at Relena's voice.
when she emerged she looked like she was intent on something. she stormed over to Heero .
Kassy smirked and backed off a bit. Maybe she could escape from Heero the 'nursemaid'. she silently crept out of the training hall and back to Relena's cabin
Heero blinked at Relena's intense purplish eyes. 'they're gorgeous' he thought to himself.
"who was your father?" relena's voice brought him back to reality
"wha...?"
she grabbed his vest and brought him close to her. her eyes narrowed "i said 'who was your father?" she almost growled it
Heero's own dark blue eyes narrowed at the memory of his father. "why?" his voice turned monotone.
Relena pulled out her sword, pushed Heero an arms length away, and held the sward to his thought. "tell me now!" she snarled
Heero growled at her, his eyes smoldering into hers "my father is..."
well that's all for now. review and I'll you who Heero's daddy is. oh and sorry bout Relena's nickname couldn't come up with anything else.
