Okay! CHAPPY 13 is UP! YAAY! Not much to say… except for… REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!

Chapter 13: Overstaying your welcome

Rhyth fell to her knees at the sight of the explosion, tears constantly streaming down her cheeks. "Beat… no…" He couldn't be dead! He just couldn't!

She let out another choked sob, too scared to move. Yoyo, who had seen the explosion, wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"It's okay, Rhyth." He whispered. "Beat's been in worse situations." Rhyth bit her lip.

"But…" She whimpered, glancing over at the wreck. "I hope so…"

Rhyth felt a sudden spark of anger in her chest. Hayashi had killed Beat! She would never forgive him! Turning to the captain, she charged for him, letting out a cry of anger.

"You bastard!" She screamed, lunging at him. But before she could get close enough to even kick, Rhyth jerked back by a couple of pirates.

"Well, Ms. Turner." He growled, shooting an icy glare at her. "You have overstayed you're welcome on this ship and I'll make sure that it doesn't happen again."

Hayashi pushed Rhyth back into the group of pirates behind her. She let out a cry of terror as they started to feel her up. Even the monkey was having some fun by jumping on Rhyth's head and pulling her hair. Oh, how she hated it! She wanted it to stop right then and there. Several of her friends tried to get to her, but the ones on the outside fought them off. Besides, she was now completely surrounded by hormonal men! She felt tears sting at her eyes as she struggled to get free, but to no avail.

"OI! BARBOSSA!"

Everyone, including the pirates who were groping Rhyth, stopped to see who it was. Rhyth turned in the direction of the voice, a smile spreading across her features.

"Beat…" She said under her breath as she took the monkey off of her head and chucked it across the deck. He was alive! But… how?

Yoyo, who stood outside of the perverted group, grinned. Beat was lucky that he hadn't seen Rhyth before she was felt up. How many people would enjoy seeing that young optimistic girl go evil on them? Looking back at Hayashi, something clicked in his mind. His blood! He wasn't safe just yet.

"Oh?" Hayashi said, raising an eyebrow at the newcomer on his ship. "And who might you be?" Yoyo, fearing the life of his friend, butt into the conversation.

"Oh! He's nobody! Just a cousin of my aunt's nephew's… brother." He lied. "Great singing voice though… eunuch." Yoyo once again made scissors with his index and middle fingers. Despite the fact that she was nearly gang raped, Rhyth couldn't help but giggle. Beat, however, didn't seem too pleased with the last statement.

"My name is Will Turner!" He snapped. "I'm the guy whose blood you need!" Pulling a gun from his belt, Beat pointed the barrels to the side of his head. "If I die, the curse of yours will never be lifted! Yo-I mean Jack even said so!" Yoyo, now fearing his own life, turned back to Hayashi.

"Did I say cousin of my aunt's nephew's brother?" He asked, sweating slightly. "I was just getting to the blood bit!" Hayashi ignored his rants and kept his attention on the auburn-haired teen.

"Well then, Mr. Turner…" He said in a low voice. "What do you wish for us to do?"

"Rh-Elizabeth goes free!" He cried. Yoyo, realizing the mistake Beat was getting them into, went to object, but before he could speak, Pintel clamped a hand over his mouth. Hayashi smirked.

"Anything else?" He asked." Yoyo motioned toward their other friends.

"And the crew! They can't be hurt!" Yoyo shook his head frantically, trying to correct him. Beat didn't seem to notice.

"Alright then. If those are the terms, I agree with them."

Beat couldn't believe his eyes.

He was being held back while Rhyth was forced onto a small plank. Several pirates loyal to Hayashi cheered on the young girl as she was shoved further out. Beat and Yoyo exchanged nervous glances.

"HAYASHI, you BASTARD!"

The whole crew on the Pearl froze in horror, each one of them turning to face him. Hayashi was the last.

"What did you just call me?" He asked, an evil look in his eyes. Beat's eyes narrowed, knowing he had found a weak spot.

"Bastard." He replied, smirking.

"No, you ass! The other thing!"

"You?"

"THE FIRST THING!" Beat grinned.

"Oh! You mean Hayashi!" The crew winced once again.

"Don't ever call me by that name AGAIN!"

"What name? Hayashi?"

"YES!"

"Really, Hayashi? I don't see what's wrong with the name 'Hayashi' if it's your real name. I mean, Hayashi is so much better than Barbossa!"

"Beat?" Yoyo piped up. The auburn-haired boy turned to him.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." Beat glared.

"Why should I!" He snapped.

"You're risking Rhyth's life, you know!" Yoyo replied hotly. Beat froze at his statement.

'Rhyth…" Beat bit his lip.

"Fine then." He growled, averting his gaze. He hated losing, even in something as stupid as an argument. Hayashi smirked.

"Glad we've gotten things straightened out." He sneered. He then turned back to Rhyth, who still stood on the plank. Beat gave her a gentle look, trying to comfort her. Rhyth smiled.

"It's such a shame we'll be losing something so fine." He drawled, walking up to the plank. "I'll be taking the dress back." Several of the pirates whistled, while Beat blushed. It didn't look like she had anything on under the dress… due to the low collar and all that. He was surprised to see Rhyth reveal so much of her chest, but this was a dream after all… you could never tell.

Scowling, Rhyth bent down and pulled the dress off of her. Beat let out a sigh of relief to see that she was wearing something under it. What confused him was the fact that the members of the Pearl whistled and cheered. What was there to cheer about? It wasn't like she was in a bra and underwear! Come on! It was a full-length dress!

Rhyth furiously chucked the dress at him. "It matches your teeth." She growled. Hayashi winced, then scratched a fingernail across his pearly white teeth. Rhyth smirked.

"Nice seeing you! Nicer when I don't!" She joked before leaping off of the plank and into the water. The GG's howled with laughter despite the many guns pointed at them. Even Beat chuckled. Rhyth was getting good when it came to dissing people. The next person to get dragged up to the plank was Yoyo. Hayashi wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"Did you notice that that little island out there is the one we made you governor of last time?" Yoyo squinted at the small spit of land.

"Uhm… not really, no." He replied with a smile. His blue eyes sparkled mischievously, causing Hayashi to frown.

"Get up there!" He snapped, pushing Yoyo onto the piece of wood.

"Yo! I need a pistol!" Yoyo cried, regaining his balance.

"Ah! That's right! Where is Jack's pistol?" Ragetti handed Hayashi Yoyo's gun, but Yoyo still didn't seem pleased.

"Er… since there are two of us, shouldn't we get two guns?" Hayashi laughed his usual laugh.

"No, I don't think that will be necessary." He teased. "You can go and be the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death yourself!"

With this statement, he tossed the gun into the water. Swearing, Yoyo ran down the length of the plank and dived into the water. Everyone on the ship paused, seeing if Yoyo would surface. There were several bubbles that surfaced and popped, but still no sign of Yoyo.

All of a sudden, ripples started to form around the same place where Yoyo had jumped. There was a sudden splash as Yoyo's head broke the surface. He lifted the pistol triumphantly.

"Got it!" He called to Hayashi before following Rhyth to the beach. Beat watched with a smirk as Hayashi sent curses at him like cannons. Now that Yoyo was with Rhyth, they would both be okay.

"And as for you, Will…" Hayashi had regained his former posture and smirk. "… you will be giving us some blood."

Rhyth crawled up onto the shore and rolled onto her back in the sand. Yoyo followed her actions, breathing heavily.

"So…" Yoyo started turning his head to her. "Now what?" Rhyth shrugged.

"May as well find that stash of rum." She laughed. Yoyo grinned.

"ALRIGHT! To the rum we go!"

TBC…

OKAY! Done! Hope u enjoy. I'll be working on the next chapter soon!
