- Across the Seas With you -
I'm so happy! I FINALLY posted chapter five up! Enjoy!
Chapter five: Kidnapped
Mikan was looking out the window at the scenery. She had left early in the morning at five to get on the carriage. She had put on her finest clothes, like her dad had told her to. She was in the above world, not under water. The prince's castle was on land. She did not get why the prince would want to live in such a dirty place, wheareas the water was much cleaner.
" We' re almost there princess. " said one of the guards.
There were five guards from the water kingdom that came along with her on the trip to the water castle. Two were sitting next to her, while the other three were sitting in front of her. She was thinking about Yoichi right now. Mikan had left him sleeping in her room. When she was getting ready though, she mistakedly elbowed her jewlery box, causing it to fall to the floor with a very loud thud. Yoichi hadn't even twitched the slightest.
She had been sitting for hours on the carriage, and her butt was getting numb.
" Can we stop for a bit so I can get up and walk around? " Mikan was squirming in her seat uncomfortably.
" Of course princess. " All the guards replied in unison. They told the coach to stop the carriage.
She got out and stretched. She looked at the ground she was walking on. There was trash everywhere. Disgusting she thought to herself. She started humming to herself until she heard a gunshot. She stared in horror. One of the guards had been shot!
" Oh my god... " Mikan stood there with her hands covering her mouth.
" Run princess! " The guards yelled.
She took off her heels and threw them on the ground. It would be easier to run without heels. She took off, not knowing where to go. She heard more gunshots coming from behind her. It was quiet now. She stopped, turned around, and came face to face with a boy about her age. He grabbed her by the wrist.
" This one's pretty cute! I wanna bring her home and play with her... Can we keep her Sakurano? " The boy that was talking had blond hair, and was grinning.
" Whatever you want Kaname. We should put all the stuff we want aside first. " A boy with long hair had appeared beside her.
" Stay here. Don't go anywhere. " Kaname winked at her.
The two boys started going through the luggage and items in the back of the carriage. She decided to take this chance and run away. She tip toed silently until she was at least a few yards away. Then she ran as fast as her feet could take her. Luckily, she had discarded her heels, so there was no noise when she ran. Mikan stopped to take a breath. Hands then covered her mouth with a cloth. The cloth had a nice scent. I feel sleepy she thought to herself.
- Back at the Castle -
Yoichi had woken up, and had reached under the covers to grope around for another body. She's gone he thought. Where was she? Yoichi then remebered the night before.
- Flashback -
" What's wrong Mikan? " He walked towards her and hugged her.
" My.. fat..her... ... .mar...ry... " Mikan's words came out in a series of hiccups and sobs. He couldn't understand what she was saying but he had a clue what it was about. She put her arms around him, and cried even more. Soon though, she stopped crying, just sniffled, and looked up at him. " Yoichi... will you run away with me?
" I'm sorry Mikan... I can't. "
- Flashback Ends -
He had remebered how she had cried even more when he had said no to her. She had eventually fallen asleep, as did he. Yoichi would've loved to run away with her, but he didn't want to be selfish. She had to help her kingdom. The prince could give Mikan anything she wanted. What did HE have that he could give to her?
" I have nothing to give you Mikan... not ever since... " Yoichi didn't finish his sentence.
If THAT didn't happen, he could married Mikan instead of that prince... he would be... happy. Mikan was probably already at the castle he thought. Yoichi missed her terribly already.
The ship was getting ready to drop the anchor, because they were reaching land. They had decided to stop at a bar in a town. The ship had now completely stopped. The crew climbed off and walked to a bar near them. Even when the boys were standing outside of the bar, the shouts and screams from inside could be heard. The boys sat at a table in a dark corner. A waitress came to ask what drink they would like. Natsume winked at the girl. She had a pretty busty chest. Probably about a D cup.
" What drinks would you all like? " The waitress was facing Natsume though, batting her eyelashes.
" Beer for all of us. " Tsubasa was sitting with his feet crossed on the table.
" Ok. " The waitress walked away, swaying her hips seductively.
" She's got the hots for you Natsume! " Kokoro chuckled loudly.
The bar doors suddenly burst open, and ten guards walked in.
" Oh great. " Ruka sighed, slightly annoyed.
" Where are the vermin?! " asked one of the guards. He had a large star on his shirt pocket while the other guards didn't .
All heads looked around, until they stopped exactly where the crew's table was, and pointed in that direction.
Chapter End
Hey guys... I got lazy, so it took a really long while for me to finish this chapter. Sorry! I hope you enjoyed it though.
So, Nix. You noticed my plot holes... oh well.
Q: How did Natsume burn down a whole village at eight?
A: He DIDN'T. The whole crew (except Yoichi) just burned down Yoichi's house. Why you ask? Yoichi was some rich guy, and the pirates wanted money.
That's the only NOT stupid question I feel like answering ( no offense guys ).
