Hello, my dearest readers! I'm gonna add someone here, it's gonna be one of Akira's old friends! :D Hope you all enjoy him! I was listening to Ass Back home by Gym Class Heroes, Dignity by New Politics, and Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz whilst writing this masterpiece. I kinda gave it a two-for-one deal on this island, because I made up my other OC just today and decided "Hey, he needs to be in my crew!" So, that's that. Tel me if you think something should've been different, I'm open to flames, any kind of review people!
Laila frowned deeply; why did Akira find it necessary to be so infuriating?! She huffed, following Artemis, as she followed Akira. Does that idiot even have any of what to name ourselves?
"Smilodon!" Akira snapped suddenly, coming to such an abrupt halt that Artemis bumped into him, and Laila bumped into her.
"Oi oi, what's your smiley-dome got to do with anything?" Laila asked, huffing in irritation.
"Yeah, what's that even mean?" Artemis asked, a frown marring her features.
"Smilodon; the scientific term for a saber tooth tiger." Akira recited.
"That still doesn't answer my question." Laila pointed out, crossing her arms stubbornly.
"I was thinking… we need a name for ourselves, right?" Akira began, a grin creeping onto his face.
"And you wanted to use some smart-kid word that would confuse people?" Laila deadpanned.
"Well, now that you mention it, that does sound fun… BUT That wasn't what I was hoping to accomplish with the name!" Akria added quickly after receiving an irritated look from Laila.
"I was thinking, since you love cats and I am a cat, we can name ourselves after one of my favorite wildcat species, the saber tooth!" Akira stated.
"That sounds like a good idea, actually." Artemis said, adding her two cents to their conversation.
Just as Laila was about to say something, Akira dropped the bags in his grip and turned into the fluffy green cat that both girls had seen him as first. The girls gave him a quizzical look, and just as Laila leaned down to get on eye level with the feline, he darted off, weaving through the throng of people in the streets.
"Well geez, that lazy jerk!" Laila said frowning at the bags still in the street.
She watched Artemis quickly pick up two of them, and Laila picked up the third. Laila cursed the small feline as she spotted a speck of green, still running away. She grabbed Artemis's hand and pulled her at an alarmingly fast pace towards where she had last seen Akira. It took them what seemed like forever to catch up with Akira, but he seemed to at least be waiting for them to catch up with him from time to time, no matter how annoyed he looked. It seemed like he wanted to find something, but Laila had no idea what he was looking for.
Finally, the green feline came to a stop, but when Laila and Artemis found him, he had pounced on some poor guy, who was now lying on the ground. He had wavy lavender hair and aquamarine eyes, and his skin looked quite pale; Laila just hoped it wasn't because of Akira jumping on him. He was wearing a white v-neck, black jeans, a black and grey striped hoodie, a grey beanie, and black combat boots. She also noticed two swords on his hip, just like how Akira wore his.
Akira mewed before hopping off the guy and turning back to normal, grinning from ear to ear. "Yukio!" He chirped, looking absolutely ecstatic. "I completely forgot that you live on this island now!" He added, pulling the lavender-haired male off the ground with ease.
"Does everyone who's affiliated with you have oddly colored hair?" Laila asked jokingly, smiling a bit.
"Ah! Akira, when did you get on the island?!" Yukio asked, looking surprised.
"Just today, actually. Hey, I'm starting my own crew, wanna join?" Akira asked, practically bouncing with excitement. "Laila and Artemis are already with me, do you'd make four." Akira added, gesturing to each girl in turn.
"R-really? Well I guess so; I don't really have anything to lose…" Yukio muttered, scratching the back of his head.
"Greeeeaaatt!" Akira said, hugging the crap out of poor Yukio, who gasped for breath.
"So, when did you guys meet anyway?" Artemis asked, her curiosity getting the better of her before Laila had a chance to ask.
"Well, Yukio and I were friends when we were little on my island, but he moved to this island a few years ago." Akira explained as he took a bag from Artemis and Yukio grabbed Laila's bag.
"I hope you know I need to get my stuff before we leave." Yukio reminded Akira.
"Of course, of course, but we get a ship first." Akira said, smiling at the thought of getting their own ship. It should be a caravel, definitely, with a saber tooth tiger as the figurehead. They could call themselves the Desultory Pirates and their jolly roger could be of a roaring saber tooth head in front of crossed bones. Or maybe a saber tooth skull?
"I got it!" Akira announced happily, cutting off the other's conversation.
"What?" All three asked in unison.
"We're going to get a caravel with a saber tooth tiger as the figurehead, and we can have a roaring saber tooth tiger skull as our Jolly Roger." Akira said, smiling proudly. "And remember Smilodon? That can be out name; the Smilodon Pirates. I like it, and even if you don't like it I'm using it." Akira added stubbornly.
Laila sighed, knowing there was nothing she could do about it. "Alright, you stubborn feline. We can be the Smilodon pirates, if it pleases you."
"It does, thank you. How about you two?" Akira asked, waiting for a reply from Artemis and Yukio.
"I don't see why not." Yukio said, smiling at Akira's happiness.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" Artemis asked, though she smiled as well.
"Yes! Now we need to get our ship~!" Akira chirped, picking up his pace in his excitement.
So there's that; I felt like posting again and I know (think) I said I would post longer chapters but it's HARD, so leave me alone!
