Chapter eleven:

Wufei was walking around, checking out the area, when a sword met his throat.

"I'm only going to say this once, so listen up. I want you to release my master and his fiancé or else I'll kill you," threatened a woman.

"I have no authority over the matter, so put the sword down lady."

"I don't care if you have authority or not. I want you to release them!"

"I guess I'll die no matter what so…" he reached up and knocked the sword away from his throat and drew his. "Well, what are you waiting for? Fight me!"

"I will!" the women said as she charged at him. She had dark blonde hair that was twisted in two pig tails. They dueled until Wufei knocked the sword out of her hand, and pointed the tip of his sword at her neck.

"You duel very well, but not well enough. What is your name woman?" he ordered.

"Sally Po. What are you waiting for? Kill me!"

He drew his sword back. "I'm not going to kill you. It would be a waste of beauty," he replied replacing his sword in its sheath. "If you'd like, you may come along." He turned around and began to walk away.

"How do you know I won't try something?"

"I don't, but it would be very dishonorable to attack somebody from behind."

"Wufei! Where are you!"

"I'm over here Duo!"

"Finally! I've been looking all over the place for you! Heero's getting impatient. We have to go, now! Who's she?"

Wufei looked at her and replied, "Her name is-"

"Sally Po and I want to stay with my master, Lord Quatre."

Duo looked her over and hesitated, "I guess the Captain wouldn't mind taking one more person on board. We're going, so come on."

Sally walked beside Wufei. "You never told me your name was Wufei."

He smirked. "You never asked." They walked in silence for the rest of the way to the ship.

"There you are Duo!" Hilde exclaimed. "I've been looking for you."

He gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, the Captain wanted me to find Wufei, but he brought an unexpected visitor with him."

"Hello I'm Hilde you're-"

"Sally, Sally Po. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too."

"Have you met Wufei?" Duo asked.

"Yes I have. How are you Wufei?"

"Very well, thank you. How have you and Relena been?"

"Quite well. We like it here very much."

"That's good. I better go talk to the Captain right now. It was good to see you again. I'll see you ladies later. Hilde, Sally," he smiled at Sally, bowed and left.

"I better go now too. Don't want Wufei to get in any trouble now do we? Goodbye Sally," Duo turned to Hilde and kissed her hand, "goodbye Hilde." She smiled and bit her lip.

"Bye Duo," she said as he left.

"So how many women are on board this ship?"

"Umm, there's Dorothy, you, Relena, and me. Four, Four ladies are on this ship."

"Did you just say Relena? As in Princess Relena?"

"Uh yeah, but she doesn't want anybody calling her that. Just plain Relena will do."

"Okay. How long have you been on this ship?"

"Just for a few days. It's really nice here. I know I like it."

"Did they bribe you to say that when they kidnapped you?"

Hilde burst out laughing. "No they didn't bribe me. And as for the kidnapping, Relena and I went on our own free will."

"Why would you do that?"

"To get away from the castle, go on an adventure, and meet new people. Give it awhile and I think you'll like it too."

"Do you know where Quatre and Dorothy are? I'd like to see them."

"Umm, I think I know. Follow me," she said as she led Sally to a pretty big room and stopped. "I'm pretty sure they're in here. If they're not, just find me and I'll talk to Duo."

"Thank you," she said as she knocked.

"You're welcome," Hilde said as she walked off.

Sally stood still as she waited for the door to open. It began to open slowly, but then swung open wide.

"Sally! Oh thank goodness you're all right!" Quatre exclaimed as he hugged Sally tightly. "Come in, come in. Tell us everything that has led you here up to now."

"Well," Sally began as she gave Dorothy a hug and a warm smile, "after I saw that they took you, I told myself I had to be with you guys. That's when I found one of them alone. We began to duel, but he won."

"Is that why you're here? Did he make you come on this ship?" asked Dorothy.

"No. I demanded that I be taken to you guys and he agreed."

"No strings attached?" asked Quatre.

"No strings attached."

"Wow."

"He actually seemed almost pleased that I wanted to come."

"You better watch out for him Sally, he might try something," Dorothy suggested.

"Wouldn't he have tried it already? He was very polite and even helped me into the ship."

"He could be trying to get you to trust him, before he makes his move," Quatre said.

"I don't know he doesn't seem like that kind of guy. I hope I'm right about him."

"So do we Sally, so do we," said Dorothy.

"So Heero, where are we going now?" Relena asked. Just then Wufei entered followed by Duo.

"Captain, I need to talk to you."

"Can it be said in front of the Lady here?"

"Yes sir, it can."

"Proceed."

"Yes sir. I have brought another woman on board."

"You what?"

"She is a servant to Quatre and Dorothy. She demanded to be taken to them, so I did."

"Just like that?"

"We dueled first."

"You lost." It was a statement not a question.

"No sir, I won, but she can be quite forceful with her words."

"I see. Is there anything else that anybody would like to tell me?" There was silence. "Good. Now we can leave."

"Uh, Captain?"

"Yes?"

"Where are we going next?"

"Ask Relena. She's picking our next destination. I'm guessing that it will be a vacationing place." Everyone turned and stared at Relena.

"I haven't decided yet."

"You heard the Lady, now get back to work." Wufei and Duo left, but not before he smiled and winked at Heero.

"Out Duo!"

"I'm going, I'm going! No need to rush."

"Duo," Heero said warningly.

"I am out the door. Goodbye Relena," he said as he bowed to her, and Heero closed the door.

"Heero! That was rude!" Relena said a bit surprised but trying to hold back her laughter.

"I see that smile. Don't even try to fool me."

"It's very rude to laugh at something like that," she said trying to sound serious.

"Okay…Laugh." Relena couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing. "Thought so." He stood there watching her until she stopped laughing.

"You're bad."

"That's why I'm a pirate. We get to do a lot of bad things. So, have you decided where you want to go next?"

"The Northern Coast of France! Is that okay with you?"

"If it's alright with you, it's alright with me."

"Yay!" she shouted jumping up and down. She ran over to him and gave him a hug. "You're the best!"
