Chapter One - Sweet Memories
Once upon a time, there was a famous pirate named Caption Jack Sparrow. He was the best pirate alive, and he could have anything he wanted, included women. All the women wanted him. But, his heart betrayed him, because he loved a young Japanese girl, but he wasn't sure if she loved him. But, like every pirate, he fought for what he wanted; he was trying to conquest the fair lady's heart. And always when he thought about her, he remembered how they first met.
FLASH BACK
I was in a bar, drinking Rum, and flirting with some waitresses, and then I heard a woman scream. I went outside to see what was happening, and I saw two men trying to robber the old woman's money. Nobody tried to help. I was about to help her, when a young beautiful lady, with silky raven hair, shouted to the two men:
"You're cowards! Trying to steal an old woman! "
"Shut up, we are pirates, we do whatever we want! Like it or not! And if you try to stop us we'll kill you, honey!"
The other pirate said: "What a waste, loose such a beautiful young woman! We can have fun together, don't you think, darling? "
Then, he pulled her next to him trying to kiss her. But she picked a rum bottle that was near her, and crushed it in his head.
The poor guy, hit the floor completely unconsciousness.
"Pirates are not bad people. A good pirate never fights without a reason. You shouldn't use their name to do your dirty work!" said the girl.
In that moment I felt that she was special, not only because she defended pirates, but something deep inside of me called me to her. So, after the incident the other "pirate" runaway and I decided to follow her. She lived in Kamya dojo, with a cat named Claw, and two guys. One looked like a chicken and the other one with hair that looked like fire and with a scar in his left cheek. Then, I heard the 'chicken' calling her. Her name was Kaoru. He told her that they were leaving, and Yahiko will not sleep in home. She nodded with a sad smile.
THEY LEFT
"Now, it's just you and me Claw, like always was, and always will be. Just you and me. If you were a boy I could marry you, but you're a cat, so, it's not possible. You are the only one who cares about me, isn't it, my little Claw? Nobody wants me!
You know, last night I dreamt that I will find a pirate, and I will travel with him, in a black awesome ship…….ooooh! I'm just a silly girl, I'll never meet a pirate, even Kenshin, which is a normal guy would never love me, like I love him. How could a pirate love me? I Think I'm not unworthy of been loved! "
"Everyone have the right of love and been loved in return, miss. Sorry about listening your conversation with your cat, but, I think that a beautiful girl like you, shouldn't has that kind of thoughts." I told her.
She looked a little scared when she saw me, but then she questioned me:
"Who are you? Are you a pirate?"
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. And, yes, I'm a pirate, and I appreciate what you said to that guys who were trying to harm the poor lady."
"So, Captain were you following me? "
'She caught me' I thought "Actually……. Yes." I said with my best smile.
She was staring at me with a suspicious look, and the cat started to play with a blanket I had around my waist. I pick up the cat, and he started to lick my face. I noticed that she was completely surprised, and I asked her why. She said that Claw wasn't so friendly with other people, and she told he likes me!
"Now, I want to know why a young lady like you, could have such thoughts about herself?"
"I can answered you that. Come inside, let's talk while, I cook something for us! " she said cheerfully
"I'm master of Kamya Kashin ryuu. But I'm a disaster when talks to cook. " Kaoru said with embarrassment
"Ohh, I can taste that! But that don't mean that you're useless, you just don't know how to cook, but you can learn. And I'm sure you can do other kind of things!"
"You're so different from Sano and Yahiko, they tease me all the time because I'm a bad cooker…and Kenshin hide what he thinks! I know he does this because he doesn't want to hurt me, I am just a fool, I don't know how to cook, I am not beautiful……I don't know how to act like women should act… I'm a disaster! "
I get closer, and closer…she was almost crying then I started to stroke her cheek trying to comfort her, in that moment I felt someone behind me and I heard:
"What the hell is going on here?" spoke Sano
"Nothing!" She said blushing- "Sano…he is Captain Jack Sparrow, a friend of mine." Answered Kaoru.
"So he is a pirate? How can you have that type of friends? Could be dangerous have him here!" questioned Sano
"I've no intention to harm her, I didn't harm her." I said
"Sano…he is a friend of mine and he was just trying to make me fell better.
"What's the matter Sano?… Kaoru I didn't know you had visits? "- asked the other man. "Kenshin! I didn't notice you were there!" she answered
I could saw that Kenshin felt something for her because of the way he looked at Kaoru.
Then I decided to come back to my ship, Black Pearl, and when I was about to leave Kaoru questioned me:
"How much time Will you stay here in Japan, Jack? "
"I don't know, depends. Why? "
"If you want, you can come here and talk with me a little, tomorrow!"
"I have a better idea, why don't I came here tomorrow, and take you to a walk?"- I said
She accepted, and after that day, I toke her to walk everyday until I left Japan.
END OF FLASHBACK
While I was travelling around the world with my crew, I missed the times that we had together, miss the sound of her laughing when I did something stupid, missed her blue eyes looking at me in that way that only she knows how to do….. I miss her a lot. But, there was a question in my mind: And what about Kenshin? Did she still love him?
After all this time, had she miss me like I missed her? I hope so……………………..
