Author's Note: I apologize for the late update. I blame Da Hungah Games: Director's Cut (and going to AM2 a few days ago), since that fanfic is way too much fun to work on. Plus, I'm also working on my 50th fanfic. Let's just say that it will star your favorite Capricorns AND Straw Hats.

Also, I have some bad news: I won't be attending Anime Expo this year. It sucks, since I spent the money I usually spend on an Anime Expo badge on tons of things at AM2, since you can get into that con for free. And, now I have to wait until November for a con (Pacifc Media Expo), so, yeah, it sucks.

Ch. 66: "The Yin and the Yang."

The four entered the pub, which was a bit busy, given that it was the middle of the day.

"And, I'm home," Molly commented.

"You live above a pub?" Hana asked.

"Me parents owned the place before they died, so it was only natural that we lived over it," Molly explained as she led everyone to a flight of stairs in the back. "Me flat is right upstairs. Just follow me."

Hana, Yuki-Rin, and Kazuma followed Molly up the flight of stairs.

"Well, Yuki-Rin, what do you think? You're on your half-sister's home island," Kazuma asked Yuki-Rin.

"Well, Kazuma, I'm kind of excited. I finally get to see where Molly lived, and we may get to meet all of the people she knew before she was adopted into my family. It's kind of like stepping into a time capsule," Yuki-Rin explained as they walked down the hall.

"So, Molly, knew any cute boys?" Hana asked Molly.

"Just why are you asking her that?" Kazuma asked Hana, who glared at him.

"Just why are you asking me that?" Hana retorted. Molly gave out a small, soft giggle.

"I knew two lads, Cormac and Liam. Chances are, you'll probably meet them while we're here. However, they're as different as night and day," Molly explained as they approached a door. "And, that's me flat. Ready to go in?"

"Yep! We're ready!" Yuki-Rin answered. Molly got out a key from her dress pocket and unlocked the door. But, when Molly entered, her expression turned from happiness and curiosity to utter shock.

"What the bloody hell?"

On Molly's couch, a red-haired, green-eyed boy with a goatee was making-out with a blonde-haired, green-eyed girl of about nineteen.

"Molly O'Flannigan… The feck are you doing here?" The red-haired boy cried. Molly sighed.

"Liam, I can explain."

A few minutes later, the six were sitting around the apartment, where Molly was talking to Liam and the girl.

"You became a PIRATE?" Liam cried.

"I had to. I couldn't take life under the Tenryuubito any longer. I feel grateful to Yuki-Rin, me half-sister, for takin' me to sea," Molly explained. Liam approached Yuki-Rin.

"Hey there. You're very pretty," Liam said to Yuki-Rin seductively. Kazuma hit him in the back of his head with his nodachi.

"You pervert! That's my girlfriend you're flirting with!" Kazuma cried as he grabbed Yuki-Rin's shoulders.

"Oh! Well, excuse me!" Liam huffed as he crossed his arms. The girl he was making-out with laughed.

"Hey, Molly, who's that girl?" Hana asked as she pointed to the blonde girl, who gasped.

"Molly O'Flannigan, you DON'T remember me? It's me, Shireen MacDonald, Maeve's sister!" The girl cried.

"Maeve? How is she?" Molly asked Shireen.

"She's fine. There are times where she still misses you, though," Shireen explained.

"What about Cormac?" Molly asked.

"He's fine, too," Shireen said with a sad sigh. Everyone grew silent.

"So, now what should we do? I'm only in town until the day after tomorrow," Molly asked her two friends, who got up.

"Look, Molly, we kinda have to go. But, you and your pretty girlfriends can swing by me house tonight, since I'm throwin' a little party," Liam explained.

"A party? For what?" Molly asked.

"It's… For no reason at all," Liam said with a hint of sadness. "It'll be a casual thing, you know? Bring your friends, bring some food, we'll play some music, and we'll have a good time."

"Alright, then, if you say so," Hana said.

"Don't worry about it! You'll have fun!" Shireen said as she and Liam left the apartment. Yuki-Rin, Kazuma, Molly, and Hana grew silent.

"I swear, if that guy messes with Yuki-Rin again, I'll mess with him," Kazuma commented.

"Kazuma, please! Liam's one of Molly's friends, so you should leave him alone!" Hana yelled.

"I expected that from Liam. He's a major flirt," Molly said as she got up from her chair. "Anyway, how about we explore me home island some more, then come back here to rest up, and then go to Liam's party?"

"Sounds good," Yuki-Rin said. A few minutes later, the four were back in the pub.

"So, where are we headed to next?" Hana asked Molly.

"Me old school. It's a bit of a hike from here, but it's beautiful," Molly explained.

"You have to have the baby tonight."

From the corner of her eye, Molly caught a glimpse of Shireen, Liam, and a man who appaeared to be Liam's father.

"Look, father, we can't have the baby tonight. I'm havin' a party and I'm inviting all of me friends," Liam argued.

"You mean you're finally getting' ye act together and havin' a bloody engagement party?" Liam's father asked. "Look, Liam, I did not raise you to be a drunkard who ends up impregnatin' one of the local ladies. I raised you to be a gentlemen. You have disgraced the family for long enough, and it's time ye married out."

"Father!" Liam argued.

"No. I don't want to hear any arguments. Run on home and get ready for the party."

Molly looked to Yuki-Rin, Hana, and Kazuma in shock.

"Liam… I… I bloody can't believe he did this!" Molly cried before she ran out of the pub sobbing. Yuki-Rin, Hana, and Kazuma glared at Liam.

"Nice going there, hotshot. You made your friend cry. How does that make you feel?" Hana asked Liam. Liam grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the counter and smacked Hana in the face with it.

"At this point, I don't give a feck. Nothing matters to me now, because after tonight, me whole life will be a living Hell," Liam said icily before he and Sireen left the pub. Yuki-Rin and Kazuma fell silent.

"I'll… I'll go find Molly. Go get Hana to Ageha," Yuki-Rin said softly before giving Kazuma a kiss on the cheek.

"Alright. Love you, Yuki-Rin," Kazuma said as he helped Hana up.

A few miles away, Molly sat on top of a hill, crying. From her vantage point, she could see some of the town and even the Hyperion.

"I can't bloody believe it. I come home after two years, and me own friends turn to vice. What am I going to do?" Molly thought to herself. She didn't hear or notice somebody coming up to her.

"Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho

Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
Umikaze kimakase namimakase
Shio no mukou de, yuuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa wo kaku, tori no uta

Sayonara minato, Tsumugi no sato yo
DON to icchou utao, funade no uta
Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete
Oretacha yuku zo, umi no kagiri," A pretty, dark-haired woman who wore a green dress and a matching shawl sang as she walked by. But, as soon as she noticed Molly, she ran over to her and wrapped her shawl around Molly's shoulders. "My daughter. I'm glad you've come back home."

The woman kissed Molly on the cheek before she walked away. All Molly did was clutch the shawl tightly.

Ending Note: Shireen and Liam are nineteen, FYI.
