Chapter CCI: The Loot Of A Thousand Worlds, The Quest For Treasure Planet Part XIII

Running across the floorboards of the RLS Legacy, Nozomi flustered and irritated, finally came to a standstill. Standing next to one of the ship's big masts, she just couldn't believe what had just happened to her! Her voice bitter, she complained, "What the heck is Timbre's problem anyway!?"

For thinking of the conversation that had just occurred between her and the pink haired cat boy, she could remember the words that he uttered to her as he held her close to him, 'Someone's gonna come along to gobble you all up!' Not understanding any of that, Nozomi shook her head vigorously as she then said aloud, "What does he mean by that?! I just don't get him!" Then as she said those words, once again the sweet memory that he'd forced her to remember replayed in her mind.

As it did, she blushed and feeling her pulsing heart while covering her mouth with her other free hand. She then said as Riku's face came into her mind with the same red blush that he'd had at that time, "I just don't... I don't understand any of these feelings..." For why? Why did her heart beat so fast and ache like this? It wasn't something she should be feeling. It was so foreign and yet...?

But then as that thought came, she looked up to the shining stars that were above and as she did, she remembered one other crucial memory, "I mean...I already know that, he has," then as that single name returned, her heart stung with pain as she uttered, "Kairi..."

Feeling the pain stab into her, along with the confusion that was storming into her mind. She almost felt like crying from all this, but shaking her head she said aloud, "Oh c'mon! This is stupid! I can't be like this, I gotta be stronger! Like my-!"

"Don't you get it!? We screwed up!"

Jumping with shock as she heard this voice, Nozomi then asked with widened eyes, "Is that?" Quickly becoming curious, she looked to where she heard the voice coming from and as she did, she decided to take a peak and see what was going on. So cautiously and as quietly as she could, she moved herself around the mast to see what was occurring.

There she saw standing with upset agitation, that it was none other Jim and in front of him was John Silver. It was clear that something highly emotional was happening, in normal circumstances the female keyblader would have taken her leave and let this be. Since this had nothing to do with her. However she was frozen in place as Jim then continued on to say, "Back there! I Raiyana and everyone else! We had the heartless, we got rid of them! I thought for once that I could so something right alongside them! That I could do something to help!"

Hearing the young cabin boy say these words, Nozomi herself couldn't help but look to him sadly as she then said aloud quietly to herself, "Jim..."

However unaware of the concern that was being shown for him, the brown haired ponytailed young man continued, "But I...! I...just!" But it was too much for him, all these turbulent emotions storming throughout him. Feeling them, he moved himself to the side of the mast and as he did so, he sighed deeply and shuddered before finally saying, "Just forget it...forget it..." for all him venting his frustrations like this, wasn't going to change what had already happened.

Nozomi hearing him say this, felt bad. For hearing him pouring his angst out like this, it made her realise just how useless she'd been too. For during the battle, all she had done was maintain the threads while Timbre held the ship aloft with his powers... she couldn't do anything for any of them, Jim or Raiyana. Also, Mr Arrow too... As these feelings tore her up inside, all she could do was hold her hand to her chest as her heart ached now with regret and guilt too. With everything that had come to pass... was there anything that could be done?

It was clear though that as Jim looked on down depressed, that Mr Silver too felt bad for him. As he saw his cabin boy's form slump from the weight of his guilt and frustrations, he could understand those feelings all too well... however he wasn't going to let it stay like that!

With one decisive movement he took his still organic left arm and grabbed Jim by his shoulder. As he did so, he made the young man turn to look at him. As he did so, he then told him, "Now you listen to me! James Hawkins!"

Hearing those words, Jim looked to the cyborg with tears beginning to well up in his eyes and as he did so, Nozomi still standing on behind had to wonder to herself. What was going to happen?

Mr Silver though unaware of her curious gaze, clenched his cybernetic arm and hand as he told Jim with strong conviction pointing to him, "You've got the makings of greatness in ya!"

Her eyes widening as she heard these words, Nozomi then uttered in shock, "What?"

The cyborg then proceeded on to speak as Jim continued to gaze up to him, the pained look still there. However his eyes began to reflect the light of astonishment as he heard the cyborg continue on, "But you've gotta take the helm and chart your own course! Stick to it! No matter the squalls!" Then saying those words, there was a glint of something fiery in his eyes as though he could target the imagined obstacle that was in his path. However he swayed it away as he continued on to say, "And when the time comes you really test the cut of your sails and show what you're made of!"

Nozomi hearing Silver's words was memorised as Jim was himself and as the cyborg stopped for a moment. He then turned to look to the stars that shone and shined on up above. As he did so, he opened up his arms as he said with great hope and belief, "Well I hope I'm there, catching some of the light comin' off ya that day!"

Stunned as she heard these words, Nozomi shook inside and trembled as she gazed at the cyborg. Her heart then ached as a voice from so long ago, whispered to her from her memories, 'Be strong...'

Jim too it was clear was just moved, though the tears still didn't pour something inside of him had been struck. For inside, these words he wanted to be said to him for a long, long time... he couldn't believe it...

Then as Mr Silver turned to look at him, with a gentle smile and warmth in his eyes. All that Jim could do, in wake of these shaking and stirring emotions was to lean his head against the cyborg's chest. For it was all he could do to contain himself from releasing his emotions...however he couldn't hold it back anymore and he shuddered as the tears finally started to pour out.

Mr Silver feeling and seeing the young man do this, was at first startled as he looked about himself uncertain of what to do. However, after a moment the compassionate side to himself was moved and following it's way, he moved his arms and placed them around the young man, patting his back gently as he allowed him to let out all that he had been building up inside of him.

Nozomi still standing towards the back of the mast was quiet. As she saw this compassionate scene take place, she heard Mr Silver say to Jim gently, "There...there, it's alright Jimbo...it's alright."

As she heard these words and saw Silver comforting Jim like this, Nozomi's heart pulsed strongly and as it did, an image of her past resurfaced in her mind. It was from a time ago, long before this whole adventure of hers began...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She was a young child and running about down the dirt paths of Bamboo town. She cried out anxiously, looking about left and right,"Mama! Mama! Where are you!? Ma-!" However quickly stopping her in her tracks, she'd fallen down and hurt herself. Due to the shock of the accident along with the terrible stinging pain sprouting from her now bleeding knee, it caused her to shed numerous tears and wail in distress, "It hurts! It hurts! Mama! It hurts! Waaah!"

As she continued to cry loudly like this, quickly and gently though a reassuring presence came and stood itself before her. Surprised at this, she felt something come onto her knee which had been scraped from her fall, as she did she saw quickly that it was a big band aid.

Her eyes still weepy and widened as she saw this, she then felt a warm comforting sensation on her head. As she did, she looked up and saw that it was the person who helped her and as she saw him, she then heard him tell her as he continued to stroke her hair, "It's fine, it's alright now..."

Puzzled as she heard these words, and felt this warm gentle sensation. The tiny girl uttered still not understanding entirely, "Huh?"

Seeing the startled expression on her face. The older red robed clad man, simply smiled at her some more and as he did so, he finally removed his hand and told her, "I'm here now, you're not going to be by yourself anymore... I'm going to look after you from now on."

Surprised as she heard this, the little girl asked him, "Huh? You will?"

To which the man simply nodded and smiling still, he told her, "Yes, I promised your mother... Hikaru, that I'd take care of you from now on, so you don't have to worry anymore."

Listening to these comforting words, the young girl still a little uncertain though had to ask, "Mama? Mama asked you to?"

Hearing her ask this question to him, the man then answered her, "Yeah she did, she asked me to be there for you." Then opening his arms out to her, he asked her with that still calm and relaxing smile on his face, "Will you allow me to do that for you?"

The little girl staring at this warm and comforting gesture as the mysterious man smiled to her. She was so overcome, for she thought she really was all alone! For her mother... her mother she couldn't find her anywhere and yet this man? Why did he?

However seeing that gentle smile her young mind, didn't want to question anymore and quickly she ran into those warm arms and as she did, she cried loudly. So glad and relieved, that at last someone was there again with her! "Waaah!"

The older man hearing her cry again, simply smiled as she shivered against him. However moving his hand again to her dark locks, he did his best to calm her again as he stroked her head saying, "It's alright... there, there..."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As Nozomi remembered this event, she felt her heart pulse and pang terribly... for why remember that at this time? However looking to Jim and Silver, it pained her too much to stay and watch. So quickly she ran off and headed onto the darkened deck.

Running forwards as her memories continued to overflow, her emotions were raging and overflowing deep inside of her. It was so painful, remembering the past... especially with everything that had happened to her up to this point. For throughout this whole journey, she still hadn't managed to have one of her most important wishes granted...

Thinking of it, she came to a standstill and as she did so, she collapsed onto her knees as she sat by the wall of the ship. Then holding herself, she trembled as she immersed herself in the darkness. Doing this, she whispered aloud, "Master...master...!" Then doing this, she couldn't hold it back anymore and so she started to cry, releasing all the tears of frustration and sorrow that had all been building up within her up to that point...

As she did this though, she was unaware of a particular pair of worried curious eyes that looked on at her shuddering pained form... seeing her like this, the small individual then flew fast as it went to go and get the one being it thought could help...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Finally finishing comforting his cabin boy, Silver then detached himself from the young man and as he did so. He told him, "Now Jim, I um, I best be getting' back to me watch," with that the cyborg then corrected his cap. As he did so, he then went on to say, "And you'd best be gettin' some shut eye." With that done, he finally gave the young man a gentle push to make him leave on his way.

Jim himself, then approaching the stairs that would lead down to the crew's sleeping quarters. Couldn't help but turn back to Mr Silver for a moment, as he did so he had an expression that was a mixed one. One of gratefulness and relief, that someone had such high hopes and belief in him. Also someone who had comforted him when he needed it most...

Silver himself seeing him do this, knew there was no need for words at this moment. So with an almost shy like smile, he bid the young man a goodnight with a nod and wave of his cybernetic arm.

Jim himself seeing this gesture, simply smiled in reply and with that he took his leave as he went to go and sleep down below. For at last he'd finally found some peace within inside of himself...

Silver, himself was silent. For though he was glad he'd been able to help Jim, he was terribly conflicted. For the way that everything was set up, he knew it wasn't good for him to care like this, for soon-

Immediately though internal dilemma's were interrupted as a familiar pink shape, rubbed into his cheek. A little surprised, the cyborg then asked, "Morphy!?" For he hadn't been expecting him back like this! So looking to him, he asked him, "What're ya doin here? I'd a thought you'd be with Rai lass, tryin' ta-?"

However he stopped for there, he saw on the pink creature's face was a look of worried urgency. Seeing it, Silver stopped and as he did, he asked him, "Morph? What's wrong with ya? What's-?"

Quickly though, Morph flew a short distance away and as he did, he looked back to Mr Silver with urgency as he turned in the other direction, he nodded urgently to the side as he babbled incoherently. As he saw him do this, there was only one conclusion about what the small creature wanted. So realising this, Mr Silver told, "Okay Morphy, tell me where the trouble be at."

Immediately pleased that his owner and friend had understood him, quickly Morph flew and led the way to the deck with Mr Silver following in close pursuit behind him as he descended down the stairs.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Getting up from the floor, Nozomi was busy rubbing the tears away from her eyes. Annoyed with herself she complained aloud, "I gotta stop this! I'm better than this!" Then rubbing away a little more, she added, "I have to be..." however she quickly came to a stop. For quickly the words she was looking for, came from her master and they made her ache more inside terribly as she said, "I have to be stronger..."

However as she shook a little more again inside. It was clear at that moment it was proving to be easier said than done... for she just couldn't at that moment. She couldn't-!
Suddenly though she felt something warm and jelly like rub into her cheek. Startled quickly she asked aloud, "Huh? What? What's-!"

Quickly though her words were interrupted for there she saw before her eyes, chattering in his incoherent words it was none other than, "Morph!?"

Hearing her say his name, immediately the small pink creature then looked up to her with a happy expectant expression. Seeing him like this, Nozomi moving her hand uncertainly then stroked him and as she did. Morph rubbed into her palm happily and as he did so, she asked him confused, "What're you doing here? Why-?"

"Ah? So this is who you wanted me to see, Morphy?"

Surprised as she heard this voice, Nozomi then turned and saw that it was none other than, "Mr Silver!?"

For there behind her was the cyborg cook of the RLS Legacy. Seeing that he'd been spotted by the familiar keyblader, Mr Silver simply smiled as he told her, "Aye lass! I'm glad to see that ya still recognise me!" Then as he grinned and looked to her he added, "I must say though, it's been quite some time since you and I have-"

Suddenly though looking at him, Nozomi saw that the cyborg stop in his tracks. He looked to the female keyblader with curiousty and then with a serious look in his eyes. Seeing this she became confused as she asked him, "What's wrong Mr Silver? Why're you-?"

"Lass?" Stopped in her tracks, Nozomi then heard him ask her with concern echoing in his voice, "Have ya been crying?"

Silent for a moment, Nozomi then uttered, "Huh?" However quickly she remembered what she'd been up to earlier! As she did so, quickly she replied, "I um? No I..." quickly though rubbing her eyes again she tried to smile and tell the concerned cyborg, "This is nothing Mr Silver I...I just had something in my eye, so..."

However it was clear that the cyborg wasn't being persuaded by this attempt of light heartedness. So he told her, "Lass... yer tryin' too hard here aren't ya?"

Looking up to Mr Silver with her widened slightly red shot eyes, Nozomi simply stared at him absolutely stunned. Unable to say a single word to him.

Seeing her become like this, Mr Silver could sense what was going to come next. Much like Jim, however this didn't anger or irritate him, instead he smiled and asked her, "Why don't ya just explain thing's to me? Get some weight off of those small shoulders of yours...I'm more than willin' to listen to ya."

Hearing him ask this of her, Nozomi shuffled her feet a little as she was uncertain. For talking about her master she'd barely talked to the others about... she couldn't just talk about this with anyone, could she? However feeling Morph's soft form, stroking into her cheek and feeling his warmth... it was like a silent sign, that it was okay.

So feeling this, the female keyblader looking to Mr Silver and his gentle gaze. Then spoke her mind as she explained about her past, of who her master was... and the sorrow that came after his departure...

…

Listening to the female keyblader's story as she became silent and looked down to the wooden floor. Mr Silver then after a moment of contemplation told her, "Wow... now that, is certainly a story to tell."

Nozomi though didn't reply to this as she continued to gaze downwards, making Morph look to her with worry in his eyes. Seeing her do this himself, Mr Silver then decided to ask her, "So ya were left waitin' for that old master of yours for all them years?"

Nodding simply as he asked this, the female keyblader replied, "Yeah..."

As he heard her make this reply, Mr Silver then decided to ask her, "Weren't there no-one else ya could go to? I mean that's a tad too much to ask a child to do, waitin' in a house all on their own. Especially when-?"

"Because it was my choice!" Nozomi then replied strongly, as she did this. Mr Silver was silenced in moments. As he was, the female keyblader continued on to say, "I wanted to show how strong I was to my master... to be able to cope alone, I wanted to prove myself."

However looking at her, Mr Silver could see that she was trembling. As she was, it was clear though there was more to this than just her own choice. For then the female keyblader went on to say, "And... there wouldn't of been anyone who have wanted to of taken care of me anyway."

Shocked to hear these words, Mr Silver asked her, "What do you mean by those words lass?"

Nozomi clenching her hands tightly as she said this, felt the anxiousness and sorrow bubble up from within that she'd kept inside of herself for so long. Ever since that time so long ago, "I was... I was a child of misfortune."

Hearing these words, Mr Silver then repeated, "Misfortune?"

Nodding Nozomi then explained, "Yeah, because my father died just a little before I was born and... then my mother died when I was three." Biting her lips, Nozomi then continued on, "Because of that and the rumours of my birth being unusual... nobody in my town wanted me... in the fear that I's bring them misfortune." Thinking of all the dubious and critical gazes she received at that time, Nozomi clenched her hands tightly as she went on to say, "So I was left all on my own, with no-one until-"

"Yer master?" Mr Silver asked her with a sad understanding.

As she heard him say this, Nozomi replied, "Yeah..." then holding her hands a little more tightly she reminisced as she said, "He took me in, he gave me a home and... he loved me, when no-one else would." Then tearing up, as she remembered him, Nozomi continued on, "I used to be so reckless and cause so much trouble as a child growing up, even without trying... but he was never horribly angry with me and... I could even be a crybaby and he wouldn't mind."

Then holding her arms around herself, as she remembered that warmth she missed so much. Nozomi then said as her voice slightly shook, "But then when he left... and didn't come back, there was no-one and... I didn't have a choice anymore, for to them the rumours were proven to be true."

Mr Silver could see that now, despite the happy and carefree attitude that she would normally carry. The female keyblader had probably been through far more than anyone could ever know of. But despite that she could smile and laugh, trying her best to cheer and help other people...even if she didn't get anything herself.

His eyes narrowing in affection as he saw this, Mr Silver then moved his warm hand over to her and then placing it upon her head. He told her gently as she looked up to him with surprise, "Lass... ya really are somethin' else."

Surprised as she heard these words, Nozomi uttered, "Huh?"

Seeing her look up to him this way, Mr Silver simply smiled down at her. Then still with that warmth shining in his eyes, he told her, "Ya're a little star for continuin' to shine brightly, despite all the tribulations that could have brought ya crumblin' down..."

Nozomi hearing Silver say this, continued to stare up to him with startled eyes and feeling him stroke her hair like this. She felt her heart pulse fast and as it did so, she heard the cyborg continue on to say, "Ya are strong, believe me... I can see that and the rest of yer mates can too." However he then decided to also add to her, "But don't try and take the whole load of yer problems onto just yerself lass, try and share 'em out more, for ya won't be unlucky for doin' so."

Hearing Mr Silver say this, Nozomi felt herself shake inside. For looking at him, she for a moment saw a vision again of that same red robed man that she loved so much... as she did so. She felt her tears well up again, then reaching her own hands up she held Silver's hand that was still upon her head and as she did so, she told him, "You remind me..."

Surprised as he heard her say this, Mr Silver asked her, "What's that?"

Holding his hand and removing it from her head, Nozomi held it and continued on to say, "You remind me so much of my master..." with that her tears began to shed again. As they did so and she felt them, she continued on to say, "He used to say strong encouraging words similar to yours, I miss them... I miss him warm touch and-" shuddering then her voice broke a little as she finally went on to say, "I miss him..."

Seeing her become like this, as she cried. Mr Silver startled stared, however quickly moved once more by his compassion. He wrapped his arms around her, doing so he felt her shudder and cry more as she whispered desperatley and sadly, "I miss him so much... I just want to see him again! I just-!"

However she couldn't continue on and it was clear that she was suffering from her desperate wishes and loneliness. Seeing it and feeling her trembling form, Mr Silver held her tightly and told her gently, "It's alright lass... it's alright, it's all alright..."

Morph seeing the female keyblader become like this, then tried to comfort her too as he stroked himself into her cheek and hair. For even her sadness and loneliness he could feel was echoing deep inside of him too...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gazing on down from high above, Pete and Hari were once again doing their observations. Smirking himself as he saw the cyber cook hugging the saddened keyblader, the bumbling overweight accomplice then said aloud with a chuckle, "Well, look who's being the big bad agony uncle, huh?"
Hari though didn't say a word to this. Instead her emerald green eyes narrowed and as she did so, it was clear she was calculating something within her mind.

Pete though gazing on down below himself, couldn't help but ask, "Well, I just wonder how thing's are gonna play out now? I just wish I had some clue!"

As this question was asked, it was then that finally Hari decided to make a reply, "That would be helpful...Though it's hard to say how events will play out from now."

Hearing her say this, Pete turned his eyes back to his accomplice and as he did so, he heard her continue on to say, "But it's clear, that Mr Silver is not as malicious as a force as he wishes for himself to... it may be the case that we will have to eventually dispose of him."

Listening to her words, as she said this Pete was quiet. He couldn't argue with this comment she suggested, however inside he didn't like it. That she was so cold, but that was something else he sadly had got used to... however looking to Nozomi who continued to cry into Mr Silver's chest, he looked back to Hari and couldn't help but wonder. What had happened to her in her past? Was it just as painful as their adversary's? Or perhaps even worse? Those very questions inside hurt inside of Pete as he thought of the unknown mysteries... but the thing that plagued him more was one question. Was there anything he himself could do, to help her?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Holding onto Silver still, as her tears continued to pour out. Nozomi could feel something inside of herself being suppressive being lifted, inside of the cyborg's arms she felt a sense of relief that she hadn't had in a long, long time... it was almost nostalgic.

Then as this calming feeling washed over, her tears gradually dried. As they did, it was finally then that she quietly removed herself from the cyborg and told him, "Oh! Sorry Mr Silver...I'm just-"

Hearing her apologise to him, the kind cook then told her, "It's fine lass, don't worry... it was clear you had a lot on your plate, so don't feel bad about openin' up."

Quiet as she heard these words, Nozomi then couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as she looked down and smiled a little sheepishly, "Thank you..."

Morph himself though was happy that Nozomi had finally smiled. So stroking himself into her, he chattered happily getting her attention. The female keyblader feeling him do this then giggled as she patted him gently and told him, "And thank you too, Morph."

Mr Silver seeing her interact with this his small beloved companion, then simply smiled more too. However he knew inside he couldn't let thing's stay this way for too long, so coughing a little into his still organic hand, he got the the female keyblader's attention, "Well, lass if yer feelin' more chipper I'd advise ya it'd be best if ya went to bed now."

Nozomi stared at him quietly as he said these words and as she did so, she heard him continue on to say, "A young lady needs her rest and beauty sleep don't they?"

Hearing these words, Nozomi then couldn't help but laugh and so she replied feeling happier again, "Yeah I guess so!" With that she gently detached Morph from her and as she did so, she turned to leave to go back to the sleeping quarters. Doing this, she spoke aloud, "I'm gonna rest really well tonight!"

Seeing her go and becoming so carefree once more, Mr Silver felt he could relax as he sighed a little. Then as he did so, Morph flew up to his side looking to him curiously. Smiling to his small little companion he was about to say some words, when-

"Mr Silver?"

Startled, he saw Nozomi stepping before the stairs. She smiled to him warmly and told him calmly, "Thank you again, really... I mean it, having you listen to me... it means a lot." Silver himself surprised to hear her say these words was silent, however he was quickly astounded by what she said next, "Though you know at first... I was scared and unsure of you... but now I know, you're a wonderful kind, warm person... no matter what anyone says or thinks now, I don't think you're bad at all."

Astounded, all that Mr Silver could do was stare at her. However quickly in moments he recovered his composure as he then smiled to her casually and replied, "Lass, flattery ain't gonna give ya more time! Now go on, go and get some sleep now!"

Simply smiling as she heard this, Nozomi then replied, "Alright! Night then, Mr Silver!" With that she waved as she energetically left and descended down the stairs...

Seeing her go, Silver still with his smile on his face was quiet. But quickly he then felt Morph stroke into his cheek and as he did, he looked to the small creature warmly... but at the same time he couldn't help but admit to the small creature, "I'm getting' in too deep here Morphy...with both that lass and lad."

Hearing him say this, the small transforming jelly like creature looked to Mr Silver with concern as he heard him ask, "Cause the next thing ya know... they'll say I'm goin soft!" However Morph himself simply giggled at these words. For he knew better than anyone about Mr Silver's good and kind nature. So he stroked himself lovingly into his beloved friend and owner.

Laughing amused himself though at this action it was clear with a degree of shame, that the cook was feeling awkward about this whole situation he'd got himself in. Learning so much about his two crewmates and comforting them, then thinking of ultimately what he'd been doing to them both soon...it hurt deep down.

However he knew that he didn't have the time to dwindle on this, so he decided to move elsewhere and try to ignore the guilt that was eating up from within. As he left Morph was more than pleased to follow after him as he giggled happily, unaware of Silver's inner turmoil.

Hearing him come though, the cyborg looked back to him and as he did so he then decided on another course of action, "Well then Morphy, let's go and see how Rai lass is doing, shall we?"

As he heard these words, Morph was more than glad to agree and he chippered up happily pleased. With that the two of them left the deck, however as they did so... the two of them were unaware that a pair of glowing yellow eyes, who were looking on down ominously. It was clear that he'd discovered something truly significant here... and he was going to use this information to ascertain where the true intentions of their captain lay.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Staring on down and seeing who was spying on down, Pete then couldn't help but grin again as he said, "Well? Looks like we ain't the only one's who like peepin' on people unawares, huh?"

Hari though was silent again. However as she remembered Mr Silver saying that one name she quickly decided on their next course of action, "Use."

Pete still grinning then stopped and turning to his accomplice he repeated curious, "Use? What're ya talkin' about there, Hari?"

As she heard this question being put to her, the cold green eyed girl then informed the bumbling villain, "This Raiyana... the one who Mr Silvers dotes upon, it may be the case that I can make her useful to us... with a little convincing."

Hearing her say this, Pete then remembered the long blue haired girl with the double edged scythe. As he did, he was puzzled. For how on earth, was Hari and he going to make use of that mysterious and dangerous girl...?
