Chapter 6 finally! After like almost more than a year ago since it was last updated. Either way, for those who are just starting to read this welcome, for those who read this since it started and they are still reading it, thanks for waiting so long and even though I am in school I will try to finish this story and the other Inuyasha one as well. P.s. my writing styles have changed a bit so if you notice a change in my style of writing and you're wondering 'What the hell is up with this writing, it's different,' just know that that I am more advanced in my writing skills than I was 1 year ago.
Disclaimer: (since I don't believe I did this before) I don't own anything except Aya, and the prince, and the witch and the OCs got it? Good.
Parody: This story is like a mix between Sinbad and the Pirates of the Caribbean but with its own special flair.
Any Ideas? Great! Just tell me. I try to incorporate any ideas into the stories all you have to do is tell me, simple as that. Just so you guys know; I have yet not put an idea into my stories. This meaning that if you do give an idea; expect it in either the next chapter or chapters to come.
The next day:
The princess awoke from her night with the friendly dog Hyorinmaru. She petted the dogs head. At the touch the white Chesapeake Bay retriever woke up and stared at the girl with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
"Who's a good cute doggy? You are, yes you are." She cooed at the dog. At this the dog rolled onto his back and with his paws he covered his eyes. "Aw… is Hyorinmaru blushing?" The dog made a small whine. Momo giggled silently. Her head moved up to look around at the food items. "Let's see… rum, fish, octopi, rum, fish, more rum, dog food… Is there any fruits or vegetables at all? Or anything actually respectable?"
The retriever rolled onto his feet. His head shook back and forward.
"Oh look wine." She walked over to the last bottle in the winery. Reading the label she was amazed. "Fine quality. I'm really impressed." She tried to release the cork but quickly gave up. I need food not wine. Hell if I get drunk here god knows what'll happen to me. And me ain't wanting that. She thought as she went towards the fish and octopus. She looked towards Hyorinmaru. "Is there anything I can cook with here?"
The dog, which seemed to understand every wood she said, quickly trotted over towards what looked like a sink area, piled high with dishes.
"Great." She muttered as she walked towards the 'sink'. "Is there an oven or stove of some sort?"
Hyorinmaru pointed his snout across the way. There was an old oven that looks like it was never used and was probably was the same one that was in the ship when it was made. She released a sigh. "Great." She repeated. "Not only does this place smell it is also a mess." She took off a laced ribbon from her pant and tied her hair with it. The hair fell down her back in a ponytail. "Let's get started."
On deck:
Kira walked up to Torshiro who was currently watching over the work on the deck. "Sir? I know you are tired about the subject but…"
"No Izuru. Where the hell is your pirate nature?"
"It's just that… She's a princess."
"So? You know what we do with royalty. Hold them captive and then make them walk the plank the moment we get the ransom money."
"… Yea but…"
"Did you send out the ransom note?"
"No…"
Torshiro looked at his 1st ship mate. "What?"
"I didn't even write it."
The captain pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Kira's head. "What?" He repeated.
"W-well captain I thought we could…"
Torshiro cocked the pistol with his thumb. "You're finished Izuru."
A series of loud banging sounds was heard from the end of the ship. Upon turning they see the door to the fore-castle suddenly bust open to reveal the princess holding a broken pillar in her hands. Dropping the wood she said, "Man am I glad you don't keep the ship in good condition."
The white haired man dropped his gun and looked towards the princess. "What the fuck are you doing?" The crew then stopped their work and they all took out their weapons, ranging from daggers to swords and small hand guns to large pistols.
"Ah calm down Shiro."
A growl came from down his throat. "Do not call me that."
"Oh whatever. I'm going to look around. Come on Hyorinmaru." She patted the back of her thighs three times and walked out of the doorway. Following close behind her was Hyorinmaru, who growled at anyone who got close.
"Great." The captain muttered as he placed his got back in his holster.
Kira deeply sighed. "Great." He silently said to himself.
Momo reached the wheel of the ship where Torshiro and Kira were standing. "Hey. I don't think I know you." She said referring to Kira.
"Oh I'm Kira Izuru. 1st mate of t..."
"No time for that." Torshiro quickly interrupted. "We're sending you back to the island once we get our ransom."
"But you said you'd help…"
"Pirates never help and we never tell the truth."
"Then if pirates never tell the truth then you are lying now and you are going to help me."
"No I mean we…" The captain groaned and rubbed his eyes with his fingers. "We lie most of the time." He corrected himself.
"Oh. Well I never lie."
"Goody-goody princess." He turned away from the princess and went towards the wheel.
"You're right. I am 'goody-goody'. But answer me this, if I'm a good person, why did I sneak onto a pirate ship?"
Torshiro paused for a short while.
"Exactly." She stated. "And since I don't lie, I will tell you what you can get from the ransom for both the Book of Peace and myself."
"I don't need the hostage's help and I am not going to get the book." His hands went onto the wheel.
The girl shrugged. "Fine. But I'm still going to tell you." The captain rolled his eyes as he told Kira to get started on the ransom note. She looked down at the crew from the upper (an: or quarter) deck. The crew who was still looking at her were obviously interested in what they could get. She cleared her throat. "If you could get the Book of Peace and place it in the ransom, you would get double from what it would have been originally, maybe even more, who knows. But what I do know is…" She then started singing.
"You could get treasures untold,
You pirates will be richer than anyone else.
You would be at the top of the heap,
The biggest sea dog in anywhere."
The crew all awed at the princess's fine voice.
"Yes you could get anything you wanted,
From any stretch of the imagination.
So what would you like if you could,
Get treasures untold?"
The crew all looked at each other. Then they yelled out many things.
"Gold!"
"Silver!"
"Diamonds and rubies!"
"Women!"
Kira chimed in. "Rum!"
At the word the crew burst out into cheers. The princess scoffed. "Surely you could do better than that." The crew looked confused. Momo made a small laugh sound and continued singing.
"What about better beds for the hard working crew?
Luxurious silks and lavish quarters.
Not to mention a solid gold ship."
"For your convenience of course." She spoke.
The crew nodded their heads as they joined along in the singing.
"What about better beds us?
Luxurious silks and lavish quarters.
Not to mention a solid gold ship.
For our convenience of course."
Kira lifted a mug into the air. "And rum!"
The crew started cheering again. The princess walked down the stairs and went down to the main deck. "You'd probably could do more." The crew leaned in towards her.
"What about a fleet of ships?
So huge it covers the horizon.
Bigger guns and better swords."
Momo took a sword from a pirate and tried to see how it was balanced (1). The sword fell to the ground. "Swords that actually have some balance."
The crew sung her verse again. Kira who was now a little bit drunk raised his mug again. "Rum!" The crew once again cheered.
"I swear; everything for you guys is rum." She sighs. "Get more creative you guys."
"What about your own island nation?
My kingdom's got many, so pick one.
Have anything imported from around the world,
To your very own private beaches.
And since it's your own island,
You won't have to worry about the law.
There's absolutely no rules,
When it comes to getting treasures untold!"
The crew re-sings the last four lines of the verse.
"And since it's our own island,
We won't have to worry about the law.
There's absolutely no rules,
When it comes to getting treasures untold!"
The crew cheered once again stopping only when Kira wandered onto the deck. "And rum!" He yelled right before he fell onto the deck.
The princess looked down at the man and shrugged it off. She then sung along with the crew.
"There's absolutely no rules,
When it comes to getting treasures untold!"
The crew went berserk while they thought about all the treasures (an: and rum!) that they would get. The princess looked up at Torshiro who was glaring at her. She lifted herself onto the rail of the ship. "But of course, since you're not going after the Book of Peace and I certainly am not going back home without the book alive…" She started tilting her back out towards the sea.
"NO!!" The crew yelled as they ran over to the princess and caught her just before she fell into the ocean. She looked back over to the captain. She waved to him by flapping her hand up and down since her wrist was being held by a pirate.
Torshiro growled. Hyorinmaru walked up beside his master. Placing his head under his hand, the dog's head brushed with his hand. Torshiro then scratched the dog's head while still glaring at the princess. With one last growl, he made his decision. "FINE! Men prepare the ship because I have no fucking idea where we are going!" He then moved back towards the wheel and steered the ship away from the Kingdom of the Ocean.
Momo smiled as she was hoisted up onto the deck of the ship. She then started to sing the song all over again.
"And no more singing!"
The princess rolled her eyes. She started humming the tune as she walked around the ship helping as much as the pirate men would let her.
All done! Yes that was an original song. How'd you like it? It has a sort of jazz sound to it just in case you want to know. It is called 'Treasures untold'.
1- People checked the balance of a sword by placing two fingers in the middle of the sword (this includes the handle as well). If a sword was too heavy on one side, it would tip and fall over. These balanced swords were 'the best swords' anyone could ever have because of their great balance.
