Hiiiiii! The first chapter...I know it took a while . It's not the best, but once everyone id introduced and it gets settled it should be better. So...enjoy :D Also, I changed my characters name to SkyLynn...I like that name .
"Stay still SkyLynn." Kazumi says while glancing up from the paper in her hands. I sigh, but go to staying still again. Damn you Daedalus!
"Are you almost done?" I whine and begin to fidget again. I hear a chuckle coming from behind me and turn my head to see Daedalus laughing.
"Give me another minute Sky." Kazumi says while I glare at Daedalus. That blind bat is going to get it when I can move again!
"And...Done." Kazumi says. Before she's finished the sentence I've already launched myself at Daedalus' laughing ass. He blocks me with his staff, but with a smirk I use the momentum to swing myself with the staff and kick him in then head. Or so I thought. My foot makes contact with nothing and I turn my body to see him smirking at me. My foot went right through the bastard!
"Gonna have to try harder than that Sky." Daedalus says and I quickly land on my feet, landing in fighting stance.
"One of these days you're going to destroy this little ship." I hear Kazumi say, but ignore it.
"First to draw blood?" I question and Daedalus laughs, but nods. This is nothing new. A year ago, I recruited Daedalus into my crew, and ever since then we've constantly had fights. It helps keep us fit since Daedalus is a perfect opponent for me. I rely on being sneaky, and he relies on enhanced senses. Every move I make goes noticed by him.
"1…2…3!" I say and charge at him. He braces himself and blocks the attack. I jump back as he swings his staff at me and I feel my fangs elongate. Not that I'm that mad, they just pop out sometimes.
I charge at him again, but jump over him to attack him from behind. I quickly equip my metal claws, and try to claw him, but he swings around, making metal clash with metal. A growl begins in my chest and I jump into the air as he swings his staff at me. He then brings the staff up to hit me while I'm mid-air, so I use the claw on my right hand to grab onto the railing. It works, but since it's an old ship, the railing breaks off. With a small shriek, I fall to the water, and I close my eyes in fear. I really should get over this irrational fear; I'm a pirate for god's sake!
I brace myself for the impact, but I land on something…soft. I slowly open my eyes and look around. It finally reaches my brain to look down. I look down to see a person…I landed on a person. A person who is now unconscious. Oops.
Meow!
I hear and look up to see my cat jumping off the boat at me. She lands on my head and starts licking my face while I sit there, trying to catch my breath. I carefully stand up in the small boat, praying that it won't be tipped over. I squat and carefully begin inspecting the person I landed on for any injuries. After some inspection, I realize the person is female. With pale skin and orange hair with black bangs, I start getting my suspicions on who the person I landed on is. I slowly lift us the bangs on her left eye, and my suspicions are confirmed.
Demon Hunter Miko, also referred to as Demon Princess. Never thought I'd meet someone like her all the way out here.
"SkyLynn! Did you drown?" I hear Dae yell and I roll my eyes.
"Kazumi, get me back on the ship." I say and grab hold of Miko and my cat. I hear Kazumi mutter in a strange language and our bodies begin to lift off the small boat and onto my ship.
"Be more careful." Kazumi says in her usual monotone voice, but I see the concern in her eyes. I nod and Dae wraps me in a bear hug.
"Don't drown Sky!" He exclaims and I roll my eyes again before elbowing him in his stomach. Well, try too. My elbow is stopped and that smirk appears on his face. Damn him.
"Where…am I?" I slightly dazed voice asks and I run to Miko's side. She looks around in a dazed fashion, trying to collect her bearings.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I landed on you." I say and she stares at me blankly for a second.
"Dog…" She whispers and it confuses me for a second. That's when I remember my canines, and I also feel my head and am greeted by the fluffiness of my two ears.
"Heh. Whoops. Sorry about that. Looks like we have something in common though." I say with a chuckle and jokingly point to the ears in her hoodie.
"Dog." She says again, but this time I see slight fear in her eyes.
"Technically, wolf." I say and see the fear partially leave her eyes.
"What happened?" She asks and slowly stands up. However, she wobbles a bit and begins to fall. Luckily Dae heard and caught her before she could.
"Well, ya see. I sorta fell off my ship and landed on you." I say sheepishly and she begins to chuckle.
"Well, my names Miko! What's yours?" She asks with a cheeky smile and I return it.
"I'm SkyLynn. That's Kazumi and that's Dae!" I say while pointing to them. Kazumi gives a small wave and Dae smiles at her.
"Are you guys a pirate crew?" Miko asks while looking at us and the ship.
"Yep! We're sailing the ocean for our own reasons. Do you have a dream?" I ask Miko and she gets stars in her eyes.
"I want to find the All Blue and have a feast of fish." She says and drool starts to trickle out of her mouth. Dae laughs and the gears in my head start turning.
"Would you like to join my crew?" I ask with a glint in my eye.
"Can you help me with my dream?" Miko says and we exchange matching smiles.
"Welcome aboard Miko." I say and we shake hands. Another member.
"SkyLynn. There's a ship approaching." Kazumi says and I turn around to see…nothing.
"Where?" I ask confused and Miko looks around, as confused as I am.
"It's a small boat." Kazumi says and Miko and I run to the railing. Sure enough, I see a small boat. A small boat carrying a green-haired man and another guy wearing a straw hat.
"Weird." Miko says, and begins leaning over the railing to get a better look at the two guys. However, she leans too far over the railing and begins to fall. Without thinking, I grab her hoodie to try to stop her, but she only pulls me over with her.
I let out an involuntary scream and I squeeze my eyes shut. Water. My only fear. As my body collides with the waves, my eyes open and meet those of the straw hat boys. However, as my body begins to sink, I lose consciousness.
