Eduardo's POV

"Thank you again for helping me…"

"It's a good thing these cuts weren't deep… They'll heal in a couple of days…" Christopher said.

"Sorry for the trouble." Kikyan bowed.

"No, no it's fine…" He smiled and looked at the bandana.

"Is that… Nathan's?" I asked myself.

"If Nathan didn't help me in the first place, who knows what could've happened to me." She muttered.

"What do you mean?" Christopher asked, startling her.

"(Sigh)… I dislike this day… And I still do… I would've been in more trouble if Nathan hadn't saved me. I really need to thank him."

"Why do you dislike this day?" Christopher questioned.

"…Because I was kidnapped by a pirate when I was young…"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: TA-DA! NOW WE KNOW FOR SURE RIGHT!? CONTINUE!

"!" My eyes widened with shock. A pirate!?

"A pirate!?" Christopher gasped.

"Yes… The Captain that you guys fought… His father kidnapped me. I left my brother and my parents." Her eyes startled to water. "They think I'm dead… Maybe it's for the best…"

"Where did you come from, do you remember?"

"…No…" She sighed. Tears kept flowing. "I'm sorry…" She got up and ran past me. (She didn't notice me.)

"Wait Kikyan!" Christopher followed.

"Can she be…?" I thought as I ran after them.

Kikyan's POV

I miss them… So much… I ran to the deck, and rested my hands on the rail.

Note: (The others were closely behind, without her knowing.)

"How can I find you?" I sobbed. "Ahh!" I remembered the contact in my eye. (Okay, I don't know if they exist back then, but in my story they do ok? Continue! LOL) I carefully removed it, revealing my second eye color.

"What is she doing?" A voice asked.

"Kyahh!" I turned around and quickly covered that eye with my hand.

"A-Are you okay Miss. Kikyan?" Thomas panicked when he saw me covering my eye.

"Kikyan?" Nathan looked at me. "What's wrong with your eye?"

"Nothing." I turned away.

"If yer hurt, you should let doc see it." Captain said softly.

"Yeah." The doc agreed.

"I'm fine… Really." I said again.

"Are you sure?" Russell inquired.

"Just got some dust in my eye."

"Sounds like Eduardo." Nathan sighed.

Eduardo? My eyes widened at the name. And the tears started falling again.

"…Let me see…" Eduardo stepped forward and I backed into the rail.

"Please, I'm fine." I looked away. He suddenly grabbed both of my wrists. "AHH!" I quickly looked down.

"Look at me." He ordered.

"Please don't look at me." I begged.

"… Kikyan…" He placed his index finger under my chin and slowly lifted my head up. When he saw my eyes, he froze.

"Two different eye colors!?" Nathan gasped and I looked down again.

"You have two different eye colors…" Eduardo muttered.

"I told you not to look." I grabbed the contact and tried to put it back on my eye.

"Kikyan." He grabbed my wrist again to stop me. "Come here." He pulled me inside the ship.

"Y-Yes?" I stuttered when he gestured for me to go into his room.

"Kikyan."

(CLICK)

"!" He locked the door. W-What's going on?!

"Sit down." He jerked his head towards the bed.

I couldn't say no so I did what I was told.

"Kikyan." Eduardo called me.

I looked up and he started taking off his eye patch.

"?"

"See my eye?"

"!" I couldn't help, but gasp. Just like… Mine… "Eduardo…"

"The Kikyan I know has a crown on her right shoulder and a scar on her neck, hidden on the right side.

Eduardo's POV

Is she really Kikyan? I slowly walked over to her, pulled her hair back, and sure enough, there was a scar. "Um…" How am I supposed to check her shoulder?

"Umm…" She blushed and looked at her hands. She took a breath. "Do you want me to…?"

"Just enough to see your shoulder."

"…Alright…" She slid down her shirt enough for me to see her shoulders. A crown was there…

"Then…" I gasped and looked at her.

She started crying and I hugged her. I swore to myself that this time I'll protect her with my life…

Russell's POV

"Where did they go?" I asked Nathan.

"I don't know…" Nathan took out a picture.

"What's that?" Thomas asked.

"This? I found this when I was cleaning."

"Wait…" I took the picture and stared at it. "Is she…"

"Kikyan? The one who's with Eduardo right now?" Captain asked.

"Yeah…" Nathan answered.

"Wow…" Christopher muttered.

"Kikyan has the same eye colors as Eduardo's…" Thomas looked at Nathan.

"…They're siblings." Nathan explained as he looked at the picture.

"Wow really?" I gasped.

"Yeah, but if you want the whole story, you hafta ask him… I'm going to." Nathan walked away and we all followed.

Eduardo's POV

Kikyan cried herself to sleep and I carefully brushed the hair out of her face.

(Knock knock)

"Yeah?" I stared at the door.

(Click)

"Hey-" Russell poked his head in.

"Kikyan's sleeping." I muttered.

"Sorry…" Russell apologized and everyone else came in.

"You need something?"

"Do you think you can explain?" Russell asked.

"Oh… Well, um…" I took a breath and started explaining about how Kikyan was kidnapped years ago.

"Wow… Separated for that long huh…" Captain sighed.

"Mmm." Kikyan stirred and opened her eyes.

"! We're sorry Miss. Kikyan for waking you up." Thomas quickly apologized.

"Don't worry about it." Kikyan smiled.

"Heh, you got lucky when I prevented you to not put your contact back on." I snickered.

"Hmph!" Kikyan slapped me on the arm.

"You're feeling better right Kikyan?" Christopher asked.

"Yes, I'm feeling better thank you."

"So… Woman…" Captain stepped forward. "Why are you part of the Black Death?"

"I… I never wanted to be part of it… So I tried to earn Joshua's trust and try to escape."

"Joshua?" I asked.

"…You don't recognize him Eduardo?" Kikyan looked up at me.

"No…"

"The one that liked me… A long time ago…"

"But that captain was named Captain John Morris…" I started.

"He changed his name… He's not the Joshua I know anymore. He changed… He enjoys killing people and watching people suffer…" Kikyan looked away.

! John Morris…. That name… Hmm…So that was Joshua… I remember him… We all knew each other when we were little. His father's name was John Morris. Joshua asked Kikyan out, but she rejected him. She said that she wasn't into relationships because it might affect her education. About two years later, his father John Morris, wanted to arrange for them to get married when they get older. Kikyan, of course, was against this. Is that why he kidnapped her? For not wanting to marry his son?! A punishment? Hmm… I think his father's not around anymore and Joshua probably wanted to carry out his father's name so he changed his to John Morris…

Kikyan's POV

"Eduardo?" I nudged his shoulder.

"… Huh? Yeah?"

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"(Sigh)… He's gonna figure out that I'm missing…" I sighed. "Captain? Can you drop me off somewhere?"

"Are you sure?" Captain asked me and I slowly nodded.

"I don't want him attacking you guys just to get me back."

"But we just…" Eduardo stopped himself.

"Eduardo's right. You two just reunited. Please stay here on the Sirius." Christopher begged.

"Huh?" Eduardo stared at the others in shock.

"We know he misses you very much and can never forget about you." Russell told me. "Plus, he acts funny around us and it creeps me out…" Eduardo gave Russell a confused look. "Wow, he's unaware of his own actions… Creepy…" Then Eduardo gave him a death glare. I laughed.

"Also, we will protect you, as a want and a need." Nathan smiled at me.

"Please stay Miss. Kikyan?" Thomas looked hopefully at me.

"Hmm… I don't mind a woman on board. This place stinks too much of male sweat!" Captain laughed happily.

I looked at Eduardo.

"I want you to stay." He whispered and ruffled my hair.

I looked at everyone, "Thank you so much!" I exclaimed and bowed to my new crewmates.
