A/N Review please I thrive on reviews! Criticism (constructive) is always welcome! Enjoy chapter 12!

(Chapter 12: Taken!)

A full moon reflected off of the gently swaying ocean. A sleeping pirate ship gently floats in the middle of the vast deep. The only light on the main deck is a lantern flaming on the helm deck illuminating sad violet eyes and un-kept pink hair.

Shuichi hadn't been able sleep and was watching the heavens above the ship as the stars slowly circulate in the sky. It had been three months since Eiri had boarded a ship to Japan and waved good bye. Three months and not a single smile had crossed Shuichi's pale gaunt face. His eyes had grown hollow and dark, barely sparkling with life. Hiro had become increasingly more worried and Suguru had started to give him nervous, worried glances when they had business meetings without complaint.

The rumors flowing in the crew were wide and varied. Only Shuichi's family knew the truth. Tatsuha's sadness had eased as his growing relationship with Ryuichi had blossomed, but he still missed his brother deeply and prayed he would return to Bad Luck; not for his sake, but for Shuichi's.

Shuichi had run out of tears and refused to partake in any merriment aboard the ship. They had gone back to Pleasure Port once in the time Eiri had been gone and Rumiko refused to let her son sail away without letting her accompany him. He complied without a fight and that more than anything scared her. Her baby boy never let her come with him. She was afraid for his spirit. Rumiko knew he and Eiri had confessed love for each other mere moments before Eiri had left without a word. One would ask how she had known since no one else had. She would only answer that Pleasure port is her turf and nothing happens without her knowing about it; creepy, but true.

Rumiko had begged her son to confide in her. Needless to say it did not end well.

[flashback]

"Shuichi, we're all worried about you. It's not like you to let the departure of a prisoner affect you so." Rumiko laid a hand on her son's shoulder and kissed the top of his head.

Shuichi leaned forward into his mother's chest and inhaled her lavender scent. "Mom, I-I can't give up. I know he will come back."

Rumiko knew the chances of Shuichi seeing Eiri-kun again were slim to none. "Shu-chan, why don't you move on? Sure he was handsome, but you could find lots of other lovers."

Rumiko wasn't expecting her son to push her away with a disgusted look on his. He clutched at his chest and tears began to roll down his cheeks. "How could you even suggest that? Eiri is my heart! Eiri is my SOUL!" Shuichi turned away from his mother and ran out of the cabin door disappearing in the dark ship.

Rumiko stood there stunned. She knew her son had feelings for Eiri, but she never knew his love ran that deep.

[end]

Rumiko stepped up onto the main deck to get some fresh air. Her cheeks were flushed from her intake of rum. She and her other children had been plotting ways to cheer up the forlorn Shuichi, but it only ended in them all getting drunk and passing out. She looked up at the helm deck and sighed. Shu had been making that his late night haunt. He almost never left it; only to eat and drink. He never used to be one for rum, but recently it was becoming his closest companion.

She watched as her son lifted a half empty bottle to his lips as he continued to stare off into space. Rumiko sniffled and headed back down to the kitchens to drink her sorrows away with the rest of her children. She didn't even see the approaching vessel.

Taki was standing on the helm deck of ASK as the ship grew nearer and nearer to the sleeping Bad Luck. An evil smirk lit his scarred face as he noticed that the only light that could be seen aboard his prey was on the helm deck. The only sailor ever at the helm this late was always the captain. This night was going to go better than he had planned.

Ma-kun approached his menacing captain and spoke in a whisper. "Captain, ever thing is set. We are ready for you." Taki turned around and reached out a hand toward his blond first mate. Ma-kun flinched and Taki let out a disgusting laugh that stabbed at the silence.

Taki caressed Ma-kun's check and leaned forward to whisper into his ear. "You have been a wonderful first mate to me Ma. I will have to reward you in the future." Mau-kun shuddered in foreboding. Taki stuck his rough tongue out of his mouth and ran it up from Ma's jaw line to his temple leaving a rank trail of saliva on Ma-kun's pale skin. "Go retrieve my pistols."

Ma-kun was more than happy to be away from his detached captain. He quickly ran down the stairs to the main deck and rushed into the captain's cabin. As he burst through the door the smell of dried and rancid blood was almost a perfume compared to Taki's lustful breath. Ma-kun began to furiously scrubbed away at his face, but the remaining saliva continued to burn his skin.

Abandoning his efforts he quickly suppressed the urge to vomit and grabbed Taki's pistols. He hurried back up to the helm deck and waited for orders. Taki turned toward his visibly shuddering first mate, an evil glint appeared in his eye. He presented his hips for Ma. Ma knew what his captain wanted and quickly obliged. He draped the hip holster around Taki's hips and he began to fasten the buckle in the front of Taki's pants.

His movements stopped when he felt Taki's hands stroking his hair and slowly pushing his face into his captain's groin. When his face was a hair's breath away from Taki's beginning erection the pressure stopped and Ma-kun sighed in relief. "You don't have to seem so relieved. When I'm done with Shindo, I'll be coming to your bed; you can be sure of that." Ma began to shiver and suddenly felt very cold in the hot summer air. He had heard of what happened to the members of the crew that had night visits from Captain Aizawa. Ma didn't want that fate, not one bit.

Taki stepped back from his future victim and made his way down the steps to the main deck and began walking towards the life boat to begin preparing for his departure.

Once Taki was situated in the life boat he began to row toward Bad Luck. He had been looking forward to this for months. He had been stalking and following Shuichi for god knows how long and he couldn't wait to have that pink haired freak on his ship.

He rowed silently. Taki felt it would be easier to have one person go in for Shindo and who better for the job than himself. It would be easier to make it past Shuichi's crew as one person.

When he made it the hull of the ship he tied the small boat to the steps that led up to the main deck and began to make the ascent up to his Shuichi. Yes, Shuichi would be his before this was all over and done with. He noiselessly climbed over the railing and made his way toward the helm deck.

The sounds of laughing and crying alike drifted up from bellow deck and Taki guessed there was a heavy intake of rum amongst the crew which only made his job that much easier. As he began to take the steps up to the helm deck the creaking of the wood alerted Shuichi to his presence.

"What do you want, Hiro?" Shuichi took another swig of rum. "I told I don't want to come and drink with you. I can do that by myself." Taki noticed Shuichi's words were slurred and lethargic; this would be easier than he thought.

He snuck up behind the inebriated Ninth Pirate King and snaked his an arm around Shuichi's middle. "Hiro, I don't want a hug. I want to be alone." Taki chuckled evilly as he withdrew his pistol from his holster.

He pressed his hardened erection against Shuichi's butt. Shuichi stilled all movements and became rigid. Taki raised his pistol above his head and readied himself. "Hiro?" Shuichi slowly began to turn around, his eyes widened in fright as he opened his mouth to scream, then… darkness.

Hiro smiled and laughed as Ryuichi and Tatsuha played with Kuma-chan in the corner and Rumiko chatted with the mountain men. Maiko was instructing a group of apprehensive crew member on how to kiss a man with a rum bottle.

He noticed that one face that was amongst them was no where to be seen. Suguru had disappeared fifteen minutes ago claiming he had to relieve himself. Hiro saw that the younger man was not himself. He hadn't been himself since the day Rumiko blew up The Chicken Ranch.

Despite how much Hiro tried to suppress it he felt extremely protective of Suguru. When ever Suguru wasn't himself Hiro felt like a part of him was crying. He couldn't explain it, but it unnerved him to no end. It was bad enough that he had feelings for the green haired accountant, but now he had to start wandering around the ship looking for him.

Hiro had come to terms long ago that no matter how hard he tried to hide his feelings for the younger man it was useless. His heart skipped a beat every time their eyes met and his face grew hot when their skin came in contact. He wanted more than anything to take the smaller man into his arms and kiss him silly, but he wouldn't allow himself that kind of liberty. Suguru was one of his closest friends and he wouldn't jeopardize that just to fill his lustful fantasies. Even though he knew what he felt was more then lust, he still didn't want to run any risk of scaring Suguru and loosing his trust.

Although his mind was screaming 'let him be' his heart was telling him to go find the sad accountant. Something told his heart that what Suguru needed most right now was him.

With that in mind he wandered around below deck in search of his love… err… friend. Hiro found said friend after a short search sitting with his shoulders hunched and his head lowered hiding out in the rum room.

Hiro slowly approached the down trodden man. Suguru let out a heart wrenching sigh and his shoulders, if at all possible, sunk a little bit lower. Hiro smiled to himself at the cute, but sad sight before him. He cleared his throat and gave the started young pirate a warm friendly smile. "Is there something on your mind?"

Suguru was frozen solid. The very man he had been pinning over moments ago was standing right there in front of him. His mouth fell open and nothing escaped him, but air. Hiro chuckled at the cute little scared face Suguru was giving him. Something about his eyes made Hiro want to swoon. Of course he held himself together as best as he could. Instead he settled for walking up to the silent beauty and gently nudging his mouth closed with the tip of his finger.

Suguru shivered with the gently warm touch of Hiro's skin and quickly shut his still open mouth. Hiro sat next to him on the floor and looked at him intently. Oh, Suguru whished he could do more than just stare. All he wanted to was curl up in Hiro's strong arms and feel his body warmth cascade over him. Hiro realized his companion wasn't going to say anything and he took the initiative. "So, what's on your mind?"

Without thinking Suguru blurted out, "Love." Just as soon as the word had left his mouth he wished it hadn't. His hand flew to his mouth and his cheeks grew bright red. "I-I mean uh-"

Hiro laughed at Suguru's shyness and smiled. "It's alright Su-chan; you can talk to me about it." Hiro's heart sank. He knew he didn't have a chance with Suguru, but now it was even more evident. Not only could Su never love him as more than a friend, but he loved someone else. Still he wanted to be a good friend. "I won't tell anyone."

Suguru couldn't believe he was actually going to do it, but he had to tell him some how. Maybe if he began to talk about how he loved someone Hiro would get the picture and let him down easy without having to say anything. "I… I am in love with someone."

Hiro's heart broke into a thousand pieces. "Have you told them yet? Do they love you back?" All he could do to keep from breaking down was to stare into Suguru's warm brown eyes.

"I-I haven't yet. I'm afraid of… I'm afraid they'll hate me." Suguru could feel tears begin to prickle at his eyes. He had been holding this in for so long it was so painful to finally be talking about it; the only person who knew as Ryu and he hadn't told a soul.

Hiro gave a shocked gasp. How could anyone ever hate Suguru? He was one of the most beautiful people Hiro had ever met, inside and out. Suguru looked down at his folded hands. "I have tried to tell them, but every time I get close it's like my voice disappears."

Hiro gave a sad smile. "I'm sure they wouldn't hate you. No one could ever hate you. I bet you they're madly in love with you." Hiro laughed to cover up a sob that nearly escaped his tightening throat. It hurt so bad to be reassuring the man he loved that someone other than himself loved him.

Suguru looked hopefully at Hiro, but his hope gave way to sadness when he saw a pained look in Hiro's deceivingly bright eyes. Suguru lowered his gaze and continued to speak dropping hints of his love. "He is the most beautiful man I've ever met." Hiro glanced at Suguru, 'So he loves another man. That seems to be the pattern on this ship. Hiro gave a dry smile, and continued to listen to Suguru.

"He's a very close friend and I wouldn't want to compromise that for the world, but I feel that if I don't tell him I will soon loose myself." Hiro felt a tear slip down his cheek. He didn't even bother to hide it. He felt the same way about Suguru. It as though he was going to die from a broken heart knowing that he loved another.

Suguru turned to look at Hiro and saw the tears running down his face. At that moment Suguru hated himself for making his angel cry. He gently placed both of his hand on either side of Hiro's damp cheeks and brought his face up so he could look into his beautiful grey eyes. Suguru's heart sank when he saw the utter hurt that reflected in the red head's eyes. He used his thumbs to softly stroke along Hiro's cheek bones wiping away the tears still sliding down his silky skin.

Suguru leaned forward and took all of his courage to place a tender kiss upon Hiro's furrowed brow. Suguru took a deep breath and closed his eyes steeling himself for whatever may come. "Hiro…I… I'm in love with you." Suguru hadn't prepared himself for what happened next.

Hiro wrapped his arms around Suguru's thin waist and pulled him against his chest crushing the younger man's lips with his. At first Suguru's body went rigid with confusion then it relaxed and his lips began to massage against Hiro's eliciting a moan from the red head.

Suguru moved his hand's from Hiro's cheeks to his hair and forcefully tugged on the long tresses pulling Hiro as close as possible while plunging his tongue as far as possible into Hiro's mouth. Before Suguru knew what happened Hiro pulled away panting deeply.

Suguru's face turned so red he thought it was going to bust into flames. 'Oh. My. God. I just kissed Hiro. Shit! What if he hates me now?' Suguru quickly let go of Hiro's hair and stumbled backwards hitting his back on the wall behind him. "I'm sorry… I didn't… sorry."

Hiro blinked. Suguru just confessed his love for him and then he kissed him. 'I kissed Suguru and he loves me!' Hiro's stunned face broke out into a bright smile. Then he realized Suguru was still apologizing trying to merge himself with the wall behind him and disappear.

Hiro began to crawl toward his lover and placed his fingers over Suguru's lips to stem the flow of apologies. When the boy's mouth grew still Hiro leaned forward and placed a warm kiss on his cheek. Suguru seemed to melt and he leaned closer to Suguru's ear, brushing his lips along his skin as he spoke. "Suguru, I have loved you since the day we met."

Suguru's heart soared. He turned his head to capture Hiro's lips. Hiro obliged his lover and opened his lips to allow Suguru's tongue to explore his waiting mouth. Their lips began to dance together while their tongues mated back and forth between their warm, wet mouths. Hiro wrapped his arms around Suguru's waist once again and pulled the younger man closer to him pressing their bodies together.

Suguru trembled as Hiro moved his kisses from Suguru's mouth down his jaw to his neck trailing warm saliva over his now burning skin. When Hiro began to lick and suck at the junction between Su's neck and shoulder, he moaned in pleasure. The heat radiating off his small body was almost too much for Hiro and he pulled away panting.

Suguru tried to regain his composure and looked back at his flushed lover. "Hiro? What's wrong?"

Hiro ran a hand through his hair. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, it's ok, I you don't mind we don't have to." Suguru placed both his hands on Hiro's lapels and began to unbutton them, trailing kisses down his chest with each button. Hiro's eyes closed in pleasure and his mind went blank.

Suguru got the last button undone and he slowly slid the shirt from Hiro's shoulders exposing his tanned, muscular chest. He ran his hands over Hiro's defined pecks and brushed his fingers teasingly over his hardened nipples. He leaned down taking Hiro's left nipple into his mouth he began to suckle at the taught skin. Hiro's breath hitched and his head lolled back as he let the pleasure wash over him.

Suguru ran his hands up and down Hiro's back tracing every muscle and bone. Soon Hiro couldn't take the sweet torture much longer and knotted his hands up into Suguru's hair, pulling him into a blistering kiss. Hiro guided Suguru down to lay on the wooden floor of the rum room and began to grind their hardened erection's together as he made quick work of undressing the man beneath him. Suguru moaned as Hiro's cock pressed against his through their thin pants. He had dreamed of this and could hardily believe it was coming true.

Once Hiro had rid Suguru of his shirt he quickly ripped his restrictive pants off and threw them across the room. He stood up and looked down at the gorgeous sight before him. Suguru was laid on the floor panting and flushed. His erection was weeping pre-cum onto his flat stomach as his ribs rose and fell in deep erotic breaths. Hiro wasted no time in shedding his own pants then lowered himself in between Suguru's spread legs.

Suguru yelped in pleasure as he clawed at Hiro's shoulders when their aching erections pressed heatedly together. Hiro leaned down and took Suguru's mouth drawing him into a blistering kiss while he began to rock against Suguru's penis with his own. Suguru's back was arching as Hiro rocked into him mixing their pre-cum and sending jolts of pleasure through their bodies.

Hiro quickened their pace and ate at Suguru's mouth hungrily as he felt his orgasm build in his stomach. Suguru was writhing beneath him as the wonderful friction and slick pre-cum caused his heart to race and his balls to tighten. Suddenly without warning both men yelled in release as two streams of hot milky liquid spread over their stomachs and chests.

Hiro collapsed on top of Suguru and continued to rock their quickly recovering erection together spreading the warm liquid over their cocks. "Hiro… Hiro I want…"

Hiro picked up the pace and began to lick at Suguru's neck. "What do you want Su-chan? What ever you want I'll give it to you."

Suguru's face flushed. "I-I want you inside of me." Hiro pressed down against Suguru's erection hard causing Suguru to scream in pleasure echoing off the walls.

Hiro raised his head and looked deeply into Suguru's chocolate brown eyes. "Suguru, I want to be inside of you too." Hiro glided a hand down Suguru's side and clasped his penis giving it a few pumps and spreading the ejaculation evenly over his fingers. Suguru began to pant when he felt Hiro's first finger slip into his tight passage. The pain shot through him, but was soon replaced by moans and grunts of pleasure as Hiro began to thrust his finger inside of his lover soon adding his middle one to stretch Su's tight, hot cavern.

Suguru was thrusting into Hiro's hand as the pace quickened, it was a feeling he had never felt before. He thought he was going to burst when Hiro withdrew his fingers and positioned his hips. Hiro let Suguru calm his body before he asked, "Suguru, are you ready?" Suguru nodded and placed his hands on Hiro's strong arms that were clasped into his hips to help with leverage.

Hiro took one quick thrust and was embedded deep within Suguru causing him to gasp and moan with the sensations sweeping over him. Suguru's hands had tightened their grip on Hiro's arms as a wave of pain swept through him, but it quickly dissipated to lead way to the feeling of Hiro moving inside of him. He had dreamed of this day, but no dream could compare to the unadulterated pleasure he felt at having the man he loved in side of him.

Taking a moment to steady himself, Hiro began to slowly pull out and slowly thrust back in setting an excruciatingly slow pace. Suguru's back began to arch off of the floor as he panted and whimpered Hiro's name.

While on the other side of the door a pair of violet eyes watched and smirked.

Rumiko had been searching for more rum when he heard voices. Little did she know that she would walk in to find Hiro and Suguru in a most compromising position. She chuckled to herself as Suguru moaned and writhed underneath Hiro. 'Serves them right. It took those two damn long enough to figure it out.' No one might have known except for Hiro, Suguru, and Ryu, but Rumiko always knew what was going on, everywhere. She saw the way they looked at each other and the way they looked when they thought no one was watching.

Rumiko held no scruple in watching the coupling of the two men in the rum room. After all they were in a public enough place, what did she care? as long as she didn't get caught. "Rumiko-chan!" 'Oh Shit!' She'd been caught. "What are you doing watching Hiro-chan and Su-kun? That's private!" Rumiko turned around to see her adopted son Ryuichi bouncing up to her with his pink bunny atop his head.

"Aw… come on Ryu. Let me have my fun. They have taken so long to figure it out we all deserve a little voyeurism for the boring wait they put us through." She put on her best pouty face, but it held no effect on the man scowling at her.

"What would Shuichi say if he saw you?" Ryu grabbed Rumiko's arm and began to drag the still pouting woman away.

Blissfully unaware of the watching eyes out side, the two lovers moaned and panted in unison.

"Hiro! Oh… Nnnngg… Ah! Faster!" Hiro obliged and began to pound into his lithe lover clawing madly at his shoulders; his tightening ball sack slapping ecstatically against Suguru's pert butt.

Suguru reach between their bodies and began to pump his cum covered erection in time with Hiro's thrusts. Hiro angled his thrusts deeper and slammed into Suguru's prostate causing his lover to scream in pleasure. "Oh God, Hiro! Ahh!" Hiro slammed into that bundle of nerves over and over again until Suguru's tight passage began to spasm around his erection and his back arched off the floor.

Suguru's release sprayed over Hiro's chest as his erection was squeezed tightly by Suguru's anus causing him to grunt in ecstasy and overflow, spilling every last drop into his lover's hot quivering body.

Both men rode their orgasms till they collapsed back to the floor panting and sweating. Suguru wrapped his shacking arms around Hiro's neck and kiss his temple. "Hiro, I love you."

Hiro smiled happily and pressed his face into Suguru's neck kissing his shoulder gently and licking up a drop of sweat. Hiro's grip grew tighter around Su and whispered into his ear. "I love you more." Suguru giggled just before they both fell into a deep restful sleep.

As all sound ceased in the kitchen the whole crew sat in stunned silence. They had been able to hear the majority of their fellow crewmates' conquest, but politely ignored till they heard both men scream at the top their lungs in release.

Rumiko smirk wildly as she looked around at all the red faces and nervous uncertain eyes glancing at one another. 'You'd think they never heard people having sex before.'

Ryuichi turned in Tatsuha's arms to look at his lover. "Are we that loud?" Maiko burst out laughing and slapped her knee in glee as Ryu's face grew bright loud. "What?"

Maiko took a few gulps of air. "Ryu-chan, you are always that loud." Ryu sunk low in Tat's lap and tried to burry his face in this lover's chest to hide his embarrassment. Tatsuha glared at her and tried to comfort his bright red lover.

Rumiko stood and jumped onto a table holding her full rum gourd up in the air. "I propose a toast!" She looked around the room and met everyone's eyes. "To Hiro and Suguru! May they always have sex as good that!"

The crew laughed and held up their individual glasses and gourds repeating the toast and gulping down their share. Everyone smiled and chuckled to themselves as conversation started up and every one went back to drink the night away.

Then the sound of shattering glass and a blood curdling scream pierced through the ship.

Rumiko, Ryu, Tatsuha, and Maiko all grew rigid in fright as one word echoed in their heads, 'Shuichi!'

A/N Yay! I love Hiro and Suguru! They are the bomb! I hope you laughed and cried and screamed in fright. Well at least I hope you enjoyed it! Review please, tell me what you think!
