A/N – It has never been tried before (which really surprises me) Everyone loves Pirates of the Caribbean, and everyone loves a good Yaoi. Well then why haven't they been put together yet?!? Because there is a lot of references that are based off of girls, well I've read a lot of good stories out there with wonderful plot lines, why can't that talent be used to change a little of the story?

Beats me.

But I'm gonna be the first to try! A yaoi on an YGO/PotC, I might add different pairings later on, but this is defiantly going to be a RyouxMalik!

Tell me how ya like it!

Pirates of the Caribbean

Prologue

The wind blew mildly, surrounding the England ship with a thick fog. The gray steel waters lashing up against the sides of the boat as it sailed towards the blue waters of the Caribbean. But that was a ways away, as anyone could tell. At the bow of the ship, watching the steel waves stood a boy no older than about 9 or 10. Chocolate brown eyes searching out far, looking for anything that might be out there besides the liquid gray waters. His long, silver-white locks were blown out of his face by the breeze, also softening his quite singing.

"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho." A song of pirates. The boy sat on the edge, grasping onto the rope from the mast tightly tied down to the rail. The singing was to keep him from going back down to the galley where the sailors all were, eating their dinner no doubt. They wouldn't stop staring at him. So he sang quietly alone on the deck, or so he thought.

"Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack. Drink up –" The boy gasped as a hand was placed on his shoulder, he was spun around to see a young man there by the name of Marik Ishtal.

"Quiet, lad! Cursed pirates sail these waters." He looked up at the ocean, almost as if expecting a cannon ball to be shot right at his face any moment. Marik Ishtal was one of the sailors, only 17 years old yet he'd been working on the ship for almost 2 and a half years. He was said to be paranoid at times, (or all the time as the boy had heard.) He was Egyptian, with pale blonde hair that seemed to stand straight up, and red-purple eyes that were always looking every which way, waiting for something to come at him. He was also very superstitious. Like singing about pirates would really attract them. "You wouldn't want to bring them down on us, now, would ya?" the boy gulped, not liking the sound of that.

"Mr. Ishtal, that will do." The two looked over to see Lieutenant (Seto) Kaiba. A man with short brown and ice-cold sapphire blue eyes who had been sent to accompany the new governor of a large town with a docking bay.

"He was singing about pirates," Marik protested. "Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us mired in this unnatural fog. Mark my words –"

"Consider them marked," Lieutenant Kaiba interrupted. "On you way." Marik scowled, knowing no one was listening to a word he said, they'll regret it someday, he thought bitterly to himself.

"Aye, Lieutenant," Marik glanced back at the boy before brushing past Lieutenant Kaiba, muttering to himself. "It's bad luck to have women or children aboard too, even when they're his age." And with that he took a long swig of whiskey, leaning against the mast.

The boy looked over at him, a little confused. Then turned back to Lieutenant Kaiba. "I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate." Lieutenant Kaiba chuckled a little before walking up to the bow of the ship looking out over the waters.

"Think again, Mr. Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them." The boy looked from him to the ocean, what in the world was he talking about? "I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves." The boy looked up questioningly at the Lieutenant who had a smug smile on his face. "A short drop and a sudden stop."

The boy looked back to Marik, who used the strap on his whiskey casket to mime a hanging. The boys gasped and looked back at the Lieutenant when his father appeared behind him. "Lieutenant Kaiba, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm, uh, I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my son."

"My apologies, Governor Swann," he said briskly before turning to leave.

"Actually, I find it all fascinating," the boy smiled.

"Yes, that's what concerns me."

Sighing, the boy turned around to look back at the water, reminding himself this all started with him singing about pirates, what was so bad about them anyway? While thinking to himself, he spotted something in the water. It looks like an umbrella, he watched it for a minute, until it bumped up against the side of the ship, soon followed by a barrel and a crate. Looking back out, soon coming clearer in the fog is what looked like a piece of a ship's wall, and on it was a boy.

"A boy . . ." he whispers to himself. Wait, he's in the water! "A boy!" He shouted loud enough for all to here, pointing at him. "A boy! Look! There's a boy in the water!" Everyone rushed to the side to see, and soon a wave of panic hit.

"Man overboard!" The Lieutenant shouted, soon followed by. "Fetch a hook, and some rope! Haul him aboard!"

After a great scramble and a light pull the sailors put the newly discovered boy down. Lieutenant Kaiba felt for a pulse, and rested a hand on the tan boy's chest. "He's still breathing."

"Mary, mother of God," Marik muttered, hanging off of the shrouds. Everyone once again rushed to the side to meet a sight of horrors. The remains of what was a ship, burning into the sea, was scattered within what had to be a mile range, floating atop the gray steel waves. No other people were seen. The flames of the remaining ship reflecting off the water's surface.

Governor Swann stood gapping, staring out at the remains, and was the first one to ask the question running through everyone's minds. "What happened here?"

"It's most likely the powder magazine," Lieutenant Kaiba said, gaining back his voice. "Merchant vessels run heavily armed." Marik snorted from his place.

"A lot of good it did them." The Lieutenant glared at him. "But everyone's thinking it, so I'm gonna say it. Pirates." A wave of murmurs swept through the small crowd of sailors, for once agreeing with Marik.

"There's no proof of that!" The governor said. "It was probably just an accident."

Suddenly, Lieutenant Kaiba seemed to snap back to reality. "Rouse the Captain immediately," he yelled. "Heave to and take in sail. Launch the boats." There was a scramble as he said this. The white-haired boy had been standing next to the other boy. He had tan skin, like Marik's, and platinum gold hair that fell past his shoulders. Soaked to the bone, the boy didn't move, was he really still alive?

The boy's father, turned him around. "Ryou, I want you to take accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge. Take care of him." Ryou nodded, and his father left to find the Captain. Ryou turned back around to the boy, kneeling down beside him. Ryou pushed a lock of golden blond hair out of the boy's face gently, that was when the boy gasped, grabbing on to Ryou's wrist like it was some sort of poisonous snake.

"It's okay," Ryou told him, the other boy's lavender eyes searching around madly, trying to find out where he was. "My name is Ryou Swann." The other boy stared up at him, still breathing heavily, they looked about the same age.

"M-Malik Ishtar." Ryou smiled warmly, it sounded just like Marik's name.

"I'm watching over you, Malik," he said to him. Malik seemed to relax at that, smiling slightly, before fainting completely. Ryou grew worried and was about to try and wake him when he saw something. It was a necklace, hanging around Malik's neck, made out of fine golden chain, and on the end was a golden medallion, with a skull carved in the middle of a weird design. Ryou suddenly realized what it looked like.

"Y-You're a pirate!" But, he knew what happens to pirates. Remembering Marik's imitation, Ryou suddenly got really scared. He grasped on to the medallion, there was no way that would happen to Malik!

"Has he said anything?" Came the sudden voice of Lieutenant Kaiba behind him. Standing up quickly, Ryou hid the medallion behind his back, away from the Lieutenant's view.

"His name is Malik Ishtar, that's all I found out." Lieutenant Kaiba looked at him suspiciously, then said quickly to the sailors. "Take the boy below." Ryou sighed in relief as the sailors picked Malik up and took him to one of the many empty cabins.

Ryou took out the medallion and studied it closer as he stood by the bow, out of the way.

The design around the edge looked like nothing he had ever seen before. He looked back up towards the ocean to see something that wasn't there before. A black ship, with shredded black sails, sailing away from them. And at the top of the mast blew a black flag with crossbones and a skull.

A pirate's flag.

Ryou's eyes widened in disbelief. A pirate ship! Marik was right, it was pirates.

And then he blinked.

Ryou shot up in bed. Breathing heavily and sweating. Realizing he was safe, on land, in his bed, and no longer 9, but 16, he sighed and put his head in his hands. It was that same dream, of the crossing from England seven years ago . . .
