Chapter Three:

Just Peachy

XxX

After about three minutes of Nakita complaining about being chucked into the water, she eventually gave it up and followed Clea on her way out to the ship.

It was completely insane, swimming out into dark open waters and chasing a ship who already had quite the distance on them. But, she knew once Clea put her mind to something there was no stopping her. And frankly, Nakita was rather anxious to get her ship back as well. She felt sorry for the slimy bastard's who were making them swim this far.

Revenge was going to be rather sweet.

It was rather lucky for Nakita and Clea that they were excellent swimmers. Anyone else might not have made it even half way. Be that as it may, they were exhausted and grabbed onto the side of the ship for dear life. They had been sure to come up from behind so no one had the chance to spot them. A head count was hard to get from the vantage point of the water, but from what they had seen the ship only had a few members on it, which was a very good thing.

Finding some ropes draped off the side, they gingerly hauled themselves up the side of the ship, which proved extremely difficult considering they had almost no energy left in them. Well, at least Nakita thought so. Clea was a bit more energized and she didn't know if it was because the woman just wanted her ship back or if she really had that much stamina. Either one was possible.

They had crawled through a very small open window which led to one of the storage holds that was hardly ever used. Dropping into the ship and letting out a sigh of relief, Clea was already heading for the door when Nakita grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"What do you think your doing? Are you just going to waltz up and politely ask for our ship back?" she whispered in Clea's ear in the sarcastic tone she was known for. Nakita may not have been as outspoken as her eccentric friend, but she was hardly lacking in witty remarks.

Without skipping a beat, Clea shook her head and gave a look as if that had been the stupidest idea she had ever herd of.

"Of course not! Im going to go out there and angrily demand my ship back." she stated, making a move for the door and unfortunately for Nakita, she was out said door before Nakita could stop her.

"Well this is just fucking peachy" Nakita decided to tell the broken crate beside her on the floor, simply huffing and following suit when she received no response.

when Nakita had emerged onto the deck, pistol drawn, she immediately dropped her weapon as she came face to face with three guns pointed at her, and a sheepish smile from Clea who was being held by a short and round looking pirate off to the side.

"Captain, we 'ave another little lass." came the reply of one rather ugly and fowl man standing before her with a decidedly unpleasant expression plastered onto his bruised face. Had his pistol not been pressing on her throat, she would have showed her obvious distaste at the way he was looking her over. Lecherous pig.

"Oh, now what do we have 'ere" A gruff mans voice nearly purring the words made its way over to her, and Nakita watched as the men surrounding her parted to let their 'Captain' through.

Nakita was surprised when two men came into view. The one who had spoken was a rather tall man with long black dreads hanging loose around his face. Beads were intertwined into his beard and hair, jingling as he walked. He wore scuffed up boots, a dirty brown overcoat and a few golden teeth shining through his crooked smirk. He was swaying slightly, and had Nakita not know better she might have thought he was drunk.

The other man was about the same height with a slightly bigger build. He had dirty blonde hair that was matted down with hazel eyes and a clean shaven face. He wore a simple open front white cotton shirt and a pair of worn brown pants with knee length boots. Although, for standing next the 'Captain' she thought he looked more confused then assertive.

Either way, it would seem they had miss counted and her and Clea were well out numbered.

Not really knowing how to react, she did what she thought best in these situations. She kept her mouth in check by biting down on her tongue lest she make a sarcastic remark and get both her and Clea thrown overboard. Swimming here had been one thing, but swimming back would be quite another.

"Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service luv" the Captain made a wide sweeping gesture, bowing low with his hat in hand.

"May I ask what your doing on my ship?" Jack asked in an unnaturally friendly voice.

Letting her tongue slip, Nakita was about to make a smart retort when another female voice piped up and Clea beat her to it.

"YOUR ship?! This is OUR ship you bloody THEIF!" Clea all but scrabbled against her captor, who looked fearful that she would break free any moment.

Two men swiftly left Nakita's side and pointed their swords on Clea, stopping her outburst rather quickly..

"Quite the hell cat, isn't she?" Jack muttered to his crew, who only snickered as the other man by his side just looked annoyed.

"Well darlin, it would seem we have a bit of a problem now don't we?" strolling, or more like stumbling as Nakita noted, Jack made his way over to Clea and looked her over for a moment before continuing.

"I have a proposition" Jack announced, as if the greatest idea in the world had suddenly struck him. Pointing a jewled finger in Clea's face he waggled it a bit before staring her right in the eyes.

"Why don't you lass's let us borrow your ship to find ours and as soon as we do, we will return it to ye. Then we can all go 'ave a drink and call it a day, Savvy?"

"Better yet, why don't I just shove that finger of yours up yo-" Clea was cut off by a hand flying over her mouth as she fought despertly to overthrow her captor once again.

"Clea!" Nakita's voice finally broke out.

All eyes turned to Nakita as Clea stopped moving to avert her attention as well.

Taking a calm breath, Nakita took her sweet time before talking by wringing out some of the water in her hair. Doing the same the tail of her coat, the glanced up at her waiting audience to speak in her usual professional tone.

"We accept your proposal Captain Jack, under the condition that I have your word this ship will be returned to us the moment you aquire your own, as well as the vow we will not be harmed by your men." after a small pause where nobody moved, she added in an exasparated voice "and would you lower your weapons and let her go for heavens sake?"

XxX

AU: so, looks as though Nakita and Clea are stuck with Jack and Will. What happened to the Black Pearl? You will just have to wait to find out!

Please review? Its my motivation, honestly. Well, that and jack.

No, not him. I named my teddy bear jack. .
