Chapter Two: Reunion

Kairi felt completely overwhelmed throughout the entire day. There was no way she could feel at ease. She excused herself from the large living area of her father's manor ordered one of the footmen to ready her carriage and left without a word. The carriage slowly carried her through the entire town. At her father's request despite her protests, her companion sat across her reading a book. The girl had been comprehensive enough and had avoided any conversation with her. Kairi was, as to be expected, in a non-talkative mood. How should one feel after their sister had been adducted? Should she feel grief? Despair? Anger? She wasn't really sure. She knew in some cases when some maiden was kidnapped by pirates they were completely forgotten, since the adduction cause more money and trouble than what a woman in her era was worth. Was that what she was supposed to do in this occasion?

"If I may young miss," The voice of her companion had completely broken off her thoughts and as she came back to reality she realize she had been silently crying and her maid had long place her book aside. The girl smiled sympathetically, something that Kairi needed at that moment. The maid dropped to the floor of the small enclosed velvet covered carriage and grabbed Kairi's hand. The maid closed her eyes as she ran her rough damaged fingers across the soft delicate hands of her mistress. She told her boring things about her fortune and what type of person she was, the girl suddenly fell quite. She remained for a short period of time before she looked up with a frightened look. Kairi, her grief aside, curiously questioned the young girl, who now sat across her in fright. The girl shocks her head, trying to conceal what she had read. Kairi asked once in a more demanding tone. That was enough to burst the girl into tears.

"Oh young miss … your future is full of obstacles, terrible obstacles that you must overcome. Your life and love line are completely intertwined. You must be careful miss, or else you'll lose your soul to the devil himself" The girl mumbled something else in an unknown language, to Kairi's dismay. She was curious on what she had meant and what else was coming. Surely it could not have been worse than what she was going through, right? Kairi looked into the girl's eyes. It was obvious the young girl was keeping something from her but she dropped the subject and only sat quietly for the rest of the carriage ride.

After she had heard Link's absurd story about one of the raids the ship had fallen silent. She was relief that the pirates allowed her to stay without the irritating blind fold. The ship had not set sailed to Zelda's surprise. It was docked behind one of the many large cliffs in the Island or at least that's what she could see. She had gotten very little sleep since the encounter with the captain. He had remained in his cabin since their encounter and she could not ask for more. The young man named Link sat across her watching her mildly. He would get up and drink some rum once in a while or move around. He sometimes commented about formal subjects such as the weather or their surroundings. Aside from the captain he was the only onboard. She assumed the rest of the pirates had been secretly enjoying themselves on the town. About what seemed to be noon, she finally had the courage to speak. With determination she took in a gush of air and forced some words out of her dry throat. At first her dry throat only gave off small noises. He smiled, surprisingly excused himself, got up and ran into the bottom of the vessel and returned minutes later with a large spoon in his hands.

"Sorry about that mate, forgot de captain told me to feed ye s'me water …" He brought the spoon close to her face. She looked up at him confused. Was she suppose to sip the water from the spoon like a second rate maid? She looked up at him, who was still holding the spoon in front her. She bit her lip and shook her head. He sat there expectantly for a couple of minutes before he gave up and set it aside. He sat down in front of her.

"Look lady … you'll need to drink the water ye hear? Captain ordered it … so you've got to do it alright?" He took the spoon once again and held it to her face. She looked at the spoon once again and frowned. She was really thirsty, and her health was worth more than her pride right? Besides, if the captain had ordered it, she was afraid to contradict him. The last thing she had in mind was confronting the man once again. His ice-cold eyes burned with hatred every time he looked at her. She could still feel the chills running down her body. Not to mention his overwhelming presence was enough to make even the strongest men fall at his feet in fright. He was truly terrifying man. Zelda had met many men in that small bar, frightening men, that could easily murder someone if they intended and never had she felt such fright nor had she been easily overwhelmed. So she closed her eyes and placed her dry lips on the wooden spoon. Link tipped the spoon so the water could easily go down her throat. After there was no water let he put it aside and smiled. He complimented her and sat there waiting for her to say something. She opened her mouth once again, she cleared her throat just to make sure she could speak clearly.

"Mister Link … um … would you be so kind to tell me what your captain plans to do with my family… I …" She stopped as she heard the barbarian in front of her burst into a strong loud laughter. Of all the – she was offended. Here she was trying to be very civilize and asked politely about his captain's plans. If he didn't want to speak he should said so instead of being rude. When he seized his laughter he looked at her with an apologetic look. He noticed her angry expression and apologized one more time before he laughed again.

"Lady you don't need to be such a stuck up brat here 'k? You only gonna get laughed at if you address us as mister …" he managed to breath out in between his laughs. Zelda was NOT happy.

"How rude! YOU should be honor I even addressed your name with a Mister! Ha! Such impolite men, no wonder your called demons"

Link only laughed and smiled. Zelda had to admit if he hadn't been a pirate, he could have been a charming man. Could of. She couldn't help but to join in the laugh and after a long comfortable silence between them. Her eyelids finally permitted her to doze off into a light slumber. She was way to tired to even continue her interrogation of the man.

When Kairi arrived back at her house she noticed the dead silence in the air. Usually there was laughter in her mother's parlor, which was always overflowing with mother's close acquaintances. They were always drinking tea and chanting away about rumors and the scandalous deeds of others. Sometimes, just to be polite, the girls would join. The girls always avoided such gatherings by taking afternoon strolls or sneaking into their father's private library. It had seemed that her mother had cancelled the afternoon tea. Namine, who to her surprise, was nowhere to be seen, even after she had checked the large library. She'd suppose that Zelda's disappearance had caused her family quite a disturbance. However, unlike her mother and sister, she found her father in his office writing away on his account books and estate booklets. She avoided her father's office and went straight to her room. She was in no mood to deal with her father. She summoned her lady's maid and as Ryoko prepared her bath water Kairi lied down on her bed. She was tired, not only physically. She was exhausted mentally.

"Ryoko … do you think Zelda is alright?" Kairi finally said. She heard the woman put down something came out to the young girl's room. The woman smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed and looked down. Kairi sense the woman wanted to say something else other than her, "I don't know sweetheart …" response. Kairi looked up into ceiling of her room and them she turned her attention to her maid. "I should be scared, grieving. Women who are taken by those … those barbarians are hardly ever rescued, but then again, what girl is ever rescued after falling into such mishap? In this era if your woman relative gets abducted by pirates, she is no longer considered dead, but will those pirates really kill them? If so … then why would they kidnap the woman in the first place? They could easily ravish their innocence, steal their money, and kill them all in the same spot they found them. Why go to the trouble of taking them?" Ryoko stayed quiet as she carefully listened to Kairi's words. Perhaps the woman understood what she was so clearly trying to say. However, was she saying It because she really believed it, or was it because she was trying to convince herself that Zelda was not dead. That she couldn't possibly dead. After all, they weren't talking about regular low life pirates. They were speaking of the most dangerous crew in the world. This was Sora L. Turner they were speaking of, but then again, he could have been human once right? Perhaps his crew wasn't that evil. Kairi knew she didn't have to say her thoughts aloud because somehow old Ryoko always knew what she was thinking.

"My lady, if I may speak to you as your equal sweet child, I would like to tell you something that might set your mind at ease. Some men do not choose to be pirates … sometimes the great horrors of the sea bring to them this certain path of despair. Perhaps you might be right, but always have it at the back of your mind that you could also be wrong. Weather Zelda is safe or not, it is no longer known and it is unhealthy for all of us to think about it. The master of the manor is sure to do something about it, I'm sure of it." Ryoko then lifted herself up from the bed and continued with her labors. Right around when supper was served, Kairi had already been washed and changed into her evening gown. This time she chose to wear her pale pink dress that covered her chest and half-ways to her neck. Her hair was pulled back in a simple bun with no decorations, only a pink ribbon tightly clutched around her hair. She slipped in her white satin slippers and walked towards the dining room quite famished. The rest of the family was already seated at the large family table when she entered the room. She was politely greeted by her step-mother, her father, Namine, and Arieth. She had completely forgotten that Arieth had come to visit the estate for a season. She sat in her designated place and awaited to be served. As the first course was served her father spoke up first.

"My dear family I have quite a few things I wish to bring to your attention," he pause briefly as he took a sip from his whiskey and then he continued, "First of all, I will like to know how I'm doing everything in my power as governor in this city to bring back our lovely Zelda back. Her kidnapping will NOT go unpunished. Secondly …" The first news quickly lifted the tension and angst of the room. Everyone's face brightened with reassurance. Namine, whose eyes were red from what had seemed like crying, bolted from her seat and hugged their father thanking over and over. Gerald only smiled and place his hand hugged back his daughter. Namine pleased with her father's announcement she sat back down in her seat and awaited the second part of the news Gerald was dying to tell them.

"As I was saying, secondly, I wanted to let you girls know that after this incident it would be hard to get Zelda engaged with other men, so I will be counting on you sweethearts to engage yourself with men of wealth and power." Kairi only nodded her head. She didn't want to argue with their father about the same subject they always argued on. Seriously, arranged marriages to wealthy men? Why couldn't she choose someone she loved? Not that she was already in love. There were few men who captivated her attention, let alone awaken in her love. The dinner progressed in a comfortable silence, like it usually did. No one spoke while they ate the rest of their dinners. At dissert time Kairi excused herself, and went back to her room. Ryoko helped her change into her long and silky nightgown. She loosen her hair and made her way to her balcony. The night was a peaceful one. Behind the manor there was a private beach. A beach only her father's confidents and the family could access. The manor was built on a large acre. It was not as big as their other estate in a nearby island, however is was the biggest building in the city. The rest of the manor was covered with exotic gardens. It was indeed a most wonder place. To live.

Kairi couldn't keep her eyes on the enchanting waters of the sea. The sea was a large mysterious thing. What could be the most terrifying thing in the world was also the most eternal beauty. The wind carried of some portion of the water once in a while on the large beach, but the ocean wasn't what had caught Kairi's attention. No, it was the moon. The moon on all its glory was high above. Its magnificent body was perfectly reflected upon the dark ocean. It was as another world of endless stars and magnificence was in front of her. She stood there quietly for a long time, by the time she refocus her attention on the house, the entire estate has seized their activities. This brought Kairi a quick state of uneasiness but she completely disregarded her. AS she reentered her bed chamber she heard something behind her. Not to mention a completely sudden change of sent her alarms flashing. She turned around to see a man standing in the thick stone balcony. His figure was exposed by the pale yellow moon in the background. Her eyes widen when her gaze fell upon the man. She heard him curse again.

"Damn woman, you should have been asleep" he grunted as he slowly took a step forward. Every time he stepped forward Kairi moved back a step, she was afraid if she ran to the door he would kill before she got there. The other option was to scream for help but she could endanger everyone else. She looked around her room. She had to decide quickly or else she was a goner. She reached for the closest thing she could find and launched at the man. He easily caught it and smiled.

"Now now sweetheart what would have happened if this base would have broken? Who would have died because of your recklessness lass?" His blood lust was quite bone chilling. Kairi knew he was serious. So she continued to move back with fright. She had to get away. The man stopped in his tracks, with a smirk across his face. Kairi saw him disappear and then everything went black. The last thing she remembered was a woman screaming in the background.

Sora had it planned perfectly. It had taken him the entire day to inspect the Hikaru's Manor house plans, construct the perfect plan. Kidnapping the girls would have been easy since the women would be fast asleep and they would not have to go though the entire town after him. The woman would then have been more trouble than it was worth. So he carefully calculated his plans, ensured that there would be no interferences and set-backs. Of course, he had thought of the possibility that indeed the women were awake; he would have easily knocked them out with a powerful chemical he had stolen at the last city they were in. His plan had been one-hundred percent fool proof. OF course what he had failed to account for in his calculation was his desire for the woman. The minute he had gazed upon the red headed woman his entire body had frozen. His hesitation had caused a fluke in his plan. When he managed to get a hold of himself and launch himself at the girl and knocked her out. He had cause too much of a stir. An old woman came rushing in screaming some nonsense and before long the entire room was full of people. HE took the girl in his arms and jumped down the 2-story floor. He landed perfectly and began to dash across the beach with the unconscious woman. The entire estate was lit and men and gunshots were heard in the background. Behind him he heard a window crash and heavy footsteps behind him. Then seconds later came an explosion from another side of the mansion. Two more had joined in the run. Sora didn't look back till he reached the gates of the estate. He noticed it was his men that were following him with the other two girls. They jumped the wall and quickly began their pace again. Not far behind came the sounds of galloping stallions and gunshots. The governor had obviously expected the attack and had set a trap for them. That did not surprise him however since he had well counted for it. That's why he wanted to kidnap them as quietly as possible. The entire city's men had prepared an attack on the pirates. Sora's route quickly evaded all of the ambushed and got them safely to their vessel. Indeed these women had been more trouble that they were worth but he would have to see how well it played out. He handed the red-headed woman to one of his underlings and commanded the girls to be "taken" care off.

"Riku … come into my office this instance" he called out before he had vanished into his cabin. The crew looked towards the door and sighed with relief. They had been lucky indeed that the captain had not blown up and murdered the women before they traded them for the hefty ransom. Riku, the silvered-haired pirate, entered the room and banished from the crew as well. Minutes later Riku emerged from the Captain's Cabin and ordered them to remove the ship from the island as quick possible. They did as instructed and before the angry city dwellers arrived at the docked area, the pirates had vanished into the deep blue sea with the three Hikaru Heiresses and their guest.
