Once again Alex stood on top of one of the ship's masts, the one on the ship's prow, she was way to annoyed to be near Ortiz and have to put up with his D. Juan comments. She loathed so much to be on watch duty while the others were having a good time drinking and partying on shore…

Looking down Alex noticed a young boy of 10, looking at the ship, his eyes seemed to shine with excitement, and a small smile graced the young pirate's lips.

"Wow it's huge!" Yahiko's eyes almost looked like two stars; even doe pirates had the reputation of criminals, children always liked them, for the free life they took and because they always told amazing stories about their travels.

"It sure is big, even for a pirate ship" Kaoru and the others approached the boy.

"Oh my God! There's someone trapped up there." Kaoru exclaimed, worried as she noticed the figure on the top of the mast.

"Oh no my dear, she's fine don't worry, you know we pirates are very flexible." Ortiz appeared next to Kaoru, eyeing are from top to bottom while licking is lips, and talking smoothly with a English/Spanish accent. Kaoru shuddered at his closeness and took a step back next to Kenshin.

"I don't think she wants anything with you pal…" Sanosuke barely moved from his place, only his eyes turned to the massive man, perhaps he could fight him.

"ORTIZ!" Alex screamed from her spot glaring at her crewmate, who had his hand too close to his daggers for the girls liking, she did not want to face the Captain if the Spaniard killed a guy. Ortiz straightened and turned his back to the group.

"Oy Alex get down!" Ortiz called as he threw one of his daggers at the young girl, Alex seeing the knife coming in her direction lost her balance and fell, and fortunately she had a rope tied around her foot.

"AHAHAH! You really like to get down fast don't ya?" Ortiz laughed at the girl, while she crossed her arms over her chest hanging upside down by her foot. Ortiz threw another dagger, this time at the rope holding Alex and she fell head first on the deck.

"Do you want to go feed the fishes' Ortiz?" Alex got up and walked past her mate, still rubbing her sour face, and got off the ship.

"Sorry about the Spaniard idiot back there, he barely uses his brain if he as one, he thinks more with his….well you get the picture." Alex rubbed her neck nervously while excusing for her friends behavior. Sanosuke and Yahiko started to laugh while Kaoru look to be a bit shocked with the girl's behavior.

"Well…Name's Alex, pleasure to meet ya!" A big smile sparked in her face.

"Oh it's a pleasure Alex! My name is Kaoru; this is Kenshin, Yahiko and Sanosuke." Kaoru introduced her little 'family'; Alex looked upon all of them, as she saw the smiling boy, her's also got bigger, and upon looking at Sanosuke Alex couldn't stop but get a good view at the man's body, that until she meet his stare, with a raised eyebrow. She quickly looked away.

"Ok…so it was nice to meet you guys gotta go so see ya!" Alex started to follow Ortiz as the other pirates came to take their places.

"What a strange girl…" Sanosuke said while watching the girl go into the city alongside the big guy.

It was almost dinner time; the group had been walking from side to side in Tokyo. Kaoru had managed to get a few things for her (a few bags that Kenshin had to carry), both Yahiko and Sano were starting to get really tired of this little trip.

"Ah I'm hungry…let's stop and eat something!" Yahiko stopped as did Sano.

"Yeah finally the kid say's something smart, I agree with him." On the background Yahiko was fuming and glaring at the man in front of him, poor boy he hated to be called a kid.

"Fine, let's see if the dock's restaurants are as good as Tae told me." Kaoru started to walk down the street in the direction of the docks. Tae had told her that the restaurants down by the docks were always full and quite good.

"Wow even being on the other side of the docks the pirate's ship looks big…" Yahiko could take his eyes of the magnificent ship.

"You know pirates are always getting into fights with other pirates or with the navy ships, they need a vessel big enough to support the damages." Kenshin told little Yahiko (A.N psst I didn't write this, ehehehe) even due he didn't know much about the life on the seas, Kenshin knew that fights on the open sea could be rough and that pirates needed proper protection.

The group walked a few more meters until they reached a very busy bar, Kaoru thought that one would be good so they prepared to enter, but their plans were ruined when 3 guys, completely drunk, burst out of the bar and started to wrestle right in front of them, 2 other guys, equally wasted, came from the bar trying to balance each other and the mugs of rum on their hands.

"I bet on the one on the right." One said while the other betted on the one on the left.

"Hum maybe we should try the next one? Ehheeh" Kaoru stopped in front of the next bar, it was loud inside, but maybe it wasn't that bad. They all waited a few minutes outside to see if any guys jumped out of the bar for a fight outside.

"Well this one seems safer…shall we enter Miss Kaoru?" Kaoru looked at Kenshin and then at the bar and taking a deep breath she walked in.

The group walks in, the bar was completely full of pirates, there were two tables with pirates drinking and gambling, poker and other card games, there was a table with men playing arm wrestling and other tables with pirates and a few geishas.

"Oh no I'm not staying here, no way!" Kaoru stomps her foot on the floor and turns around to get out of the bar, but ends up bumping into someone, looking up it was Ortiz….a slightly drunk Ortiz.

"Well look if it isn't the florcita from before, have you missed me, mi amor?" Ortiz towered over Kaoru with his massive figure, the girl stumbles backwards as he tries to caress her cheek.

The sound of a gun is heard, the bullet passes between Kaoru's face and Ortiz, making him flinch away both from the bullet and from the poor completely freak out girl.
