Chapter Seven
Problems With A Blacksmith
Kaiba rose from the downstairs couch which he now used for his bed. He streched and walked over to his clothes. He threw his red coat on and then his pants.
' Serenity most still be sleeping, I guess being captured by a pirate could do that to you,' Kaiba thought. He looked up the stairs and sighed.
' I guess I won't get any tea or breakfast,' Kaiba thought. He grabbed his musket and proceeded to the front door.
'' I'll go to the tavern and be back before she finds out I was gone," Kaiba said. Kaiba opened the front door and walked out onto the snow covered street.
He walked to the town square where he spotted the tavern across the street. Kaiba ran across dodging horse carriages and people. He opened the tavern door making a bell sound.
As he walked in everyone inside turned and looked at him. Kaiba grunted and walked past several people to the bar." What will it be?" the bartender asked.
" Give me some tea," Kaiba said.
" We don't serve that here," the bartender replied. Kaiba placed a hand on his musket and eyed the bartender who gulped.
" I'll get you some right away sir," he answered walking to the back. Kaiba tapped his fingers on the bar and held his head in one hand.
Just then the tavern doors flew opened and blew cold air inside. Kaiba heard it close and then heard several pairs of feet walk towards him. They soon stopped behind him.
Kaiba turned around to see five men in ragged clothes standing behind him." May I help you?" Kaiba asked sarcasticly.
" Mr. Kaiba, Tristan Taylor wishes to meet with you," a middle man said.
" And why should I go see the blacksmith?" Kaiba asked.
" Cause he orders you to," a man said. Kaiba then felt two guys grab him.
" You know it not wise to grab a redcoat," Kaiba smirked. He then quickly kicked his stool he was on towards the middle man. It hit the man in the nose and knocked him backwards.
Kaiba then felt the hands release him and he stood up. Four of the five men were still standing and were ready to fight.
" Four bums are going to fight a trained soldier, okay you choice," Kaiba said. Two men charged at Kaiba who simply stood there watching. As they neared Kaiba grabbed one man's arm and then swept his leg around hitting the man's back legs.
The man yelled as his legs gave way and he fell on his back. Kaiba then quickly dodged a thrown punch and quickly kicked the second guy in the chest. He then grabbed the man's head and brought his knee up smashing it into his nose.
The two first attackers limped away as two more men came at Kaiba. Kaiba smiled and ran towards them too. He grabbed the left man's arm and easily flipped him over himself and over the bar. The man's body hit the shelves of bottles behind the bar and then fell in a heap of broken bottles.
Kaiba then grabbed the other man and due to the man's light weight, picked him up and tossed him into a nearby table. Kaiba then turned to the leader who was getting up.
" Are you guys done yet?" Kaiba laughed. The man grunted and drew a small dagger. The man charged at Kaiba and repeatily tried to stab him. Kaiba back away from the man and his back hit the bar.
As then man neared he drew hi dagger back to stab Kaiba. On instinct Kaiba grabbed his musket and plunged it's bayonet into the man's shoulder.
He pushed the man down onto the gound and withdrew his bayonet. He then took his foot and placed it onto the man's wounded shoulder. The man instantly let out a scream of pain as Kaiba's leather boot pushed it's self onto the wound.
" Now tell me where can I find Taylor?" Kaiba asked.
" He's.. in.. the.. blacksmith house," the man said between screams. Kaiba took his foot off the man's shoulder and walked over to the bar to gather his things. He picked up his musket and was about to leave when the bartender returned.
" His you tea sir and what the hell did you do," the bartender yelled seeing his destroyed bar.
" You can bill these fine men here," Kaiba said pointing to the five men on the ground. He then grabbed his cup of tea and drank some untill he stopped.
" Oh and your tea stinks," Kaiba said tossing the cup away. He then walked away and out of the tavern.
' Serenity can make better tea than that crap,' Kaiba thought as he walked over to the blacksmith's shop. He opened the front door and walked in.
He looked around and found it empty. A fire was going in the middle where the melting pit laid.
" Come on out Taylor, you wanted to see me thats what your buddies said," Kaiba yelled through the shop. He then heard feet and pointed his musket and a person coming from the shadows.
It was Tristan holding two swords in both hands. Kaiba lowered his gun and placed it beside him.
" What is it that you wanted?" Kaiba asked.
" I want you to move out of Serenity's house and leave her alone," Tristan said. Kaiba raised and eyebrow and laughed.
" What makes you think I'll move out," Kaiba smirked. Tristan frowned and tossed one of the swords in his hands. It flying past Kaiba who stood with emotionless eyes. The sword flew until it hit the door behind Kaiba, nailing it shut.
" If you won't leave, then I'll make you leave by force," Tristan yelled. He ran at Kaiba and and swung his sword at him. Kaiba acting quickly drew his musket up and blocked the blade. He then pushed Tristan away and kicked him in the chest making him fall backwards.
" Please I beat you little group and there was five of them, you can't possibly beat me," Kaiba said.
" You can do anything when you have love on your side," Tristan yelled.
"Please you don't have love on your side, you only have jealousy," Kaiba replied back. Tristan growled in anger and charged again.
Kaiba dodged the swinging blade and ran across the shop towards a rack of swords. He grabbed a short light one and turned to Tristan.
" Serenity isn't just someone you just tell to love you, she's her on person and can make decisions on her own," Kaiba yelled.
" I don't care about that, ever since you came into her life she's been through nothing but pain and torture, her brother has been killed and she's also been kidnapped by pirates," Tristan yelled back.
" Yes, but every time I've been their to comfort her or save her, where were you after her brother died, where were you when she was kidnapped certainly not on the ship I was going to save her," Kaiba yelled.
" Enough, all I know is when I kill you she'll be mine again," Tristan said.
" She was never yours to begin with," Kaiba replied. Tristan grunted and charged foward hitting Kaiba's sword with his own. He then kicked Kaiba in the leg causing Kaiba to lose balance.
He stumbled back and ragained his composer.' I could easily use my military training to defeat him, but I wouldn't want Serenity to think of me as some muderous redcoat,' Kaiba thought.
" Whats wrong, have you figured out you can't beat me," Tristan laughed.
" Cockiness won't help you win thats all I know," Kaiba smirked. Tristan grunted and charged at Kaiba again this time swinging for Kaiba's left side. Kaiba blocked it but got a punch into his face.
He stumbled back and was tackled by Tristan who slamed Kaiba near the fire pit. Kaiba lost his sword and he than felt his head being pushed near the fire.
Tristan was on top of him inching his head near the fire. Kaiba felt his head becoming more hot as he neard the fire.
'' Prepare to die redcoat," Tristan said. Kaiba smirked and used his free legs to kick Tristan in the back knocking him off of him. Tristan fell to the ground and grabbed a nearby sword.
He rose and turned to Kaiba. He raised his sword to attack when a loud boom erupted. Tristan watched as the top part of his sword went flying off and turned to see Kaiba standing and holding his smoking musket.
" Thats enough Tristan," Kaiba yelled. Tristan's eyes twicthed and he looked at his ohter sword on the ground. He was about to grab it when he heard Kaiba pull back the musket's loader.
" Grab it and die," Kaiba warned. Tristan dropped the broken sword and fell down into a wooden chair.
" Why, why must she love you?" Tristan asked himself.
" Who ever said she loved me, she may she may not, but remember Taylor, trying to make her love you will not make her really love you," Kaiba said dropping his musket.
" Your right I've been stupid this whole time, I've been thinking what I wanted and not Serenity," Tristan said sighing.
" She must think I'm a creep," Tristan said.
" Probaly not, she seems to love almost everyone, just look she treated me, the enemy like part of her family," Kaiba said. He then grabbed his musket and turned around.
" Well I'll be on my way, Serenity is probaly up and wondering where I'am," Kaiba said.
" Hey Kaiba," came Tristan's voice. Kaiba turned and looked at the blacksmith.
" What Taylor?" he asked.
" Thanks for telling me all that stuff," Tristan said.
" Whatever, and for saying that I won't tell my superior officer that you attacked me," Kaiba said.
" Yeah, that will be great," Tristan laughed. Kaiba nodded and exited the shop.
' He is actually nice for and English man, maybe him and Serenity are a nice couple, but that leaves me with no one, hey maybe Miho would like to go out to night,' Tristan thought smiling.
Kaiba entered the small Wheeler house and instantly smelled food coming from the kitchen. He then saw Serenity exit the kitchen.
" Where have you been, I made you your breakfast and tea, but you were gone," she said. Kaiba dropped all his stuff and slowly put on a smile.
" I was out," he answered. Serenity smiled and walked up to him. She placed a hand on his and lead him to the kitchen.
" Well just don't stand there come and eat," she laughed ushering him to the table. Kaiba smiled and grabbed his cup of tea and drank it.
" Um, this is way better than the tavern's" he said. Serenity laughed and he soon joined in.
Sorry it took a while to update, Please Review.
Oh and if you don't know who Miho is, she's Tristan's girl friend from the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh series.
