Chapter 6: Heartache

Everyone get ready and walking down the stairs in their usual attire. For pirate, wearing fancy things all the time can be very tiring. Moreover, they have their own sense of fashion and signature style. Cain waits for the Gokaiger at the foyer with broad smile on his face.

Cain : Good morning, minna-san. I hope you guys have a good sleep last night.

Ahim: Thank you, Cain-san. Sure we did.

Gai: Marvelous-san, can't we change the beds at Gokai Galleon to the one that we have here?

Doc: Yeah, at least... we'll feel much better resting after a long battle.

Joe whispered with his arm folded, "Guys... this is not the good time to talk about this,"

Marvelous gives sharp glances to those two boys. Usually, he will smirk and knocked those two at the back of their head. But, talking these kinds of thing in front of Cain makes him feel uncomfortable.

Cain: Haha, you can take those if you want.

Doc: No-no, we just kidding.

Gai: Yeah, yeah... Anyway, thank you Cain-san.

Luka ignores what happen in front of her. She recalled what Cain had said to her last night. Her heart is divided. She stares at the floor with empty glance.

Cain: Luka dear, are you alright?

Cain comes forward and holds both Luka's shoulder gently. Marvelous can't help but to show his dislike.

Luka: Huh... what? No worry, I'm okay. Just feeling hungry, right Marvelous? She grabbed Marvelous's arms and walk away. It was spontaneous. As they walked, both of them blushed and feel sudden awkward. They rarely walk with hand to hand before. And now, they did.

Cain can't help but to feel annoyed watching Luka grabbed Marvelous's arm instead of his. But he tried to maintain his smile. "Haha, Luka. You should say it earlier. Come, Minna-san!"

At the dining table,

Everyone is buzy enjoying their breakfast and being pampered with all good services.

Cain: Minna-san, I have important thing to tell you guys.

Everyone stops and listens carefully.

Cain: Please, don't be too serious. Loosen yourself. Tonight, I would like throw a ball and a welcome party for you guys. I know it's a bit late. But ,it's better late than never right? He chuckled. "I'm sure Milcain's people will be very excited to know that you guys are here"

Luka: Cain... well, there's no need for that. We're just fine with this.

Cain: No, Luka. I would like to celebrate you and your friends visit to this Planet. You guys don't have any ideas on how grateful I am for your presence. Moreover, I don't know... when you will come again after all. Perhaps, you won't be coming again just like the last time.

Luka: Don't say that, Cain. Of course, I will come again. After all, it's my dream, remember! She holds Cain's hand, affirming her promise.

Joe quickly looked at Marvelous's face. His face changed. Full of tense. Jealousy strikes him so hard that he stood up and walked away. He can't let his feeling shown, his pride is too high. Well, only for now.

Marvelous: I need fresh air. Excuse me.

Gai: Marvelous-san...

Luka left clueless. Her eyes watched as Marvelous walked away from the table. Then, she noticed that she hold Cain's hand tightly. She immediately pulled her hand away. "Sorry"..

The environment went silence. Everyone looks on each other, finding clues on what actually happen.

Cain: Don't worry about your clothes and everything. Everything has been done! Now, please proceed with your foods, minna-san

Like the last time, Cain mend the situation like nothing happen.

The rest smiled politely and continue with their food though the situation a bit awkward.

At the top balcony of the castle,

Marvelous stood with his arms folded tightly. He hated it when he loses control. His heart is growing in ache. He knocked his left fist to his chest, wishing all the ache disappeared immediately, wished that he can stay cool like he usually is.

Joe pat Marvelous's shoulder from the back. "What's wrong, Captain? Afraid to lose her?

Marvelous stunned and try to act like usual. "Who? No. Nothing,"

Joe: You still got time. Go and get her.

Marvelous: No, let her be. This is her dream. You heard what Cain said yesterday, one day, you guys will settle down and have your own life.

Joe: Do you agree with him?

Marvelous: My opinion is not important. You guys are.

Joe: Suit yourself then. Don't regret it when she's gone.

To be continued...
