Kagome and Luffy lead Marco to the place where wild boars roam while Kagome clutched So'unga tightly knowing that wild boars are very unpredictable and fierce. She nudged Luffy in his side signaling for him to be prepared for any attack. Suddenly, two boars came charging out from the bushes. Kagome yelled "Luffy you take the smaller one on the right, i will take the one on the left!" Kagome using So'unga's hilt, cracked the boar's skull. Macro raise his eyebrows surprised at the strength the girl had.

"Wow, impressive" Marco praised and Kagome blushed

"it's not that impressive anyways, 'cause I had to learn how to hunt since I was two years old."

"Where are your parents yoi?" Marco asked.

We ain't got any parents" Kagome replied her face darkening at the thought of the betrayal again. "Hmm" Marco thought storing in the facts to report to Oyaji later. "When the brat mentions they ain't got any parents, her face darkens, I wonder why and what happen in her life to make her like this?"

" Gum um no Rocket!" Luffy flew towards the boar and sent the boar flying towards the wall of the cliff. When the dust cleared, luffy was grinning proudly and the boar was out of cold.

Meanwhile with Thatch and the two older boys. Ace and Sabo decided to lead Thatch to the area where bears live.

"It will be a new challenge for us." both of them thought excitedly.

"Bears that live here are very fierce and unpredictable" Sabo announced to Thatch.

"Well I am not a 4th division commander for nothing and I like to have a good challenge" Thatch grinned mischievously. Both Ace and Sabo stared in awe at the man.

After an hour had passed, the two groups met at the designated place. "Look what I caught!" Luffy grinned, showing them his catch. Which was the boar of course. ( XD )

"Not bad," Both Ace and Sabo chorus. "At least you managed to catch something this time."

"I'm not that bad!" Luffy pouted.

"Yeah right!" Ace grinned

"Me and Ace took out a bear together." Sabo said proudly showing off their catch

" And besides, Kagome always catches more than you and she is two years younger than you, Luffy." Sabo pointed out.

"Cut it out you three!" Kagome frowned "I didn't catch the most today," she grinned, jerking her thumb over to Marco. "He caught the most, three boars."

"Well we are adults" Both Thatch and Marco replied as if it was the most natural thing. "Well kids we have to go back to the ship to store our meat and report back to Oyaji. Would you like to have a tour of our ship tomorrow?" All the four kids stared at them with awe and Luffy was the first to snap out of it. Jumping around excitedly,

"Yay!" he shouted "We get to be on the pirate ship." Both Ace and Sabo punched Luffy on his head.

"Have you forgotten what happens when we trust people too much?" Ace yelled at Luffy, pissed off. Luffy whimpered with tears forming in his eyes.

"But I really wanna go on the pirate ship."

"We don't hurt kids yoi!" Marco replied with a tick forming on his forehead.

"Alright, we accept your offer, only if we get to bring our weapons along with us." Kagome answered

"Deal." Both Marco and Thatch replied. "Than I guess we'll see you brats tomorrow then." Thatch grinned with Marco as they made their way back to the ship.

"Sorry we are late Oyaji" Both Marco and Thatch apologize as they climb on board.

"It is alright my sons, what kept you two so long on the island? I was pretty worried."

"Well we met four interesting brats on the island." Thatch grinned.

"They were alone yoi and when I asked the youngest one where their parents are, she replied they ain't got any yoi. " Marco said.

"Find the brats" Pops said "I wanna meet them."

"Well we invited them to have a tour on the Moby Dick tomorrow." Macro replied.

"Good, good. It's already late at night, both of you should go and get some rest."

"Night pops" Thatch and Marco called, retiring to their respective bedrooms. Both thinking about tomorrow and how the kids would react.

"Wakie Wakie Ace! Sabo! Kagome! It is morning!" Luffy yelled excitedly into their ears. Kagome being a demon had very sensitive ears and it hurt. "Shut up you brat!" She growled and punched him on the head. Ace and Sabo did the same thing to Luffy. Soon Luffy was sporting three big bumps on his head. ( Poor Luffy XD )

"Itaiii! What's that for? He whined with tears in his eyes and clutching his head."

"That is for waking me up by yelling into my ears. You know how sensitive my ears are." Kagome growled

"That is for waking both of us up so early" Ace and Sabo add.

"But today we get to be on a pirate ship!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Yea we know, but it is far too early for that!" Three of them growled

"The sun isn't even up for Kami sake!" Kagome continued.

"Since we are already up, might as well hunt for breakfast then we can go to where the ship is docked and wait for them to get us." Sabo said.

After breakfast, the four of them walked to the beach where the Moby Dick was docked at, sat there and took a short nap while waiting.

Marco and Thatch woke up and stretched remembering today was the day that they could give the four kids a tour on the ship. It was something worth remembering, especially since they were looking forward to see their priceless reaction.

"Hey where are the brats yoi?" Marco asked Thatch.

"I think I spotted them. They are taking a nap under the tree."

"Let's wake them up and than we can proceed on showing them around the ship." As both Marco and Thatch are approached the sleeping kids, Kagome cracked open her eyes and said "I can sense you two approaching."

Kagome then proceeded to poke her older brothers awake, ignoring the surprised look on the stranger's faces. The two pirates lead the children up to the Moby Dick and begin giving them a whole tour on the deck. Suddenly, Luffy's stomach decided to growl. "Before we go down to the galley to eat, Oyaji wants to meet you." Thatch said while laughing. Marco and Thatch lead them to the room where Pops was staying. "Oyaji, we brought the brats here." Marco said as he knocked on the door.

"Come in" A voice boomed from inside. When they entered, Luffy was the first one to break the silence. "Wow a giant Ojisan!" Luffy exclaimed. Kagome and Sabo immediately bobbed his head with their fist. "Don't be rude." Sabo and Kagome said.

"Gurarara! So these are the brats you were talking about." Whitebeard exclaimed. "What are your names?" He asked.

"I'm Kagome," Answered the youngest, "Next to me is Luffy, next to Luffy is Ace and next to Ace is Sabo." She chirped.

"Gurarara! What a bunch of interesting brats. Would you four like to join my family? " Whitebeard asked kindly. Ace, Sabo, Luffy looked positively shocked and Kagome looked at him suspiciously. "You can think about it and tell me your answers tomorrow." Whitebeard said.

"Alright we can go to the galley to eat now if you want to." Thatch offered.

"Yay! Food!" Luffy exclaimed and began pulling Ace, Sabo and Kagome along. "I'm not hungry, you three can go ahead." Kagome mumbled. Sabo gave her a questioning look and shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh well, you know where to find us if you change your mind." Sabo said.

"Yea I know, I just need to clear my mind." Kagome replied. After they left, "Don't let them be hurt like I have been hurt before." Kagome whispered out to Whitebeard.

"I can see past your fake smiles and your eyes brat. Don't worry I will never hurt someone I consider my family." Whitebeard said.

"Alright, I will hold you up on your promise." Kagome muttered.
