Kyoto smiled happily."neat",he said softly. "so do you see her often?",he asked kindly. Back home he only had his crazy father and the servants. The only other friend he had was a law mans son,and he only got to see him a few times a year. So he didn't know what it was like to have a friend that you would consider to be family. He smiled though.Then blinked."wait,your father took you? you mean you weren't born at sea?",he asked softly. Wanting to get to know her more.

Skulls blinked looking to him and grinned."Hey I believe you love the sea,I can see it in your eyes",she said softly.Then grinned when he asked her about herself."well, the one's that aren't true, are any of the stories that I hunt and kill other pirates for fun. I only hunt down other pirates when they take whats mine. I find them,damage their ship, take back whats mine, then leave eveyone alive",she said huffing. "and i don't kill peopel for fun. I have attacked passenger ships before, buy my target is always the corupt law men on board. Who make people scared to death, take thire money ....im like a robin hood of the seas"

Nevo thought for a second, "I see her possibly a couple times a year if I get the chance." she said happily as she made her way over to her favorite spot on the ship and watched them move forward. "nope." she said as she turned to him and smiled, "I was actually born in a small town controlled by the government but when my.. my real parents died from a sickness. The govnerment didn't help and just watched them die and then the next thing I knew the pirates came and took me in. Papa was really nice and took care of me like his own. So I took his last name when he decided that he wanted to retire. You may have heard of my papa, he was called Blade Hell." she said as she smiled at him

William listened to her and chuckled, "You know I am not surprised that those aren't true. After meeting you, the stories seem like a bunch of lies to me now." he said and smiled more, "so should I start calling you Robin? or should I stick with Skull?" he asked joking a little bit but he had to admire her. She did what she wanted and it was for the good of the people, that was amazing to someone who had sen corrupt officials all over the place.

Skulls laughed softly."you better keep calling me Skulls",he said her face ;lighting up,like she hadn't laughed in a while then blinked like she could feel something she searched the horizon.Then pulled out her telescope and looked through it,her face lit up more."well now what do you know",she grinned."actually will you get to meet a group of pirates that are our friends"

Kyoto's face softened at her."Im sorry about the lawmen and how you birth family was treated",he then smiled."but it looks like you ended up with a great family still",he said looking over at the crew.

William smiled, "okay, skull it is." but hoped that he could make her laugh again since she looked kind of cute. Yet she turned beautiful when she seems to brighten at the sigh to f a ship in the distance. Hearing her, he node,d "always up for meeting someone." he said and hoped that these pirates were nice.

Nevo nodded, "yeah, I wouldn't give them up for the world." she said happily and then jumped when she saw another ship in the distance. "and it looks like skull isn't as far as I thought. Guess you will get to meet her." and then screamed out, "ALL HANDS ON DECK STRAIGHT FOR SKULL.' and instantly the sails seem to open up more as they headed towards skull.

Kyoto sat up and looked at the ship in the distance."He grinned and went to work helping everyone the best he could,getting existed. He looked to Nevo once more before getting back to work,using his strength to his advantage.

Skulls grinned happily ."okay then time to close the sails",she whistled and watched as the crew closed the sails and dropped anchor. She then grabbed a rope."Im taking the fun way down",she said giving a small wink to Will and swung down the rope landing on the deck quitely and gracefully.

Nevo continued to bark orders as they grew closer and closer to Skulls ship. Once they were close enough she shouted "PULL IN THE SAILS AND LOWER THE ANCHORE" a second latter their ship was slowing to hilt right next to skulls and the next thing Nevo did was simple. She shouted out, "SKULL WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU SO I CAN HUG YOU." and then started to look for her on the other ship.

William laughed as he watched Skull swing down and wondered if he should try the same. yet as he looked down he smiled a little bit more. He was free now, why not have some fun. Pulling off his shirt the then jumped and a second later you heard the crash of water as William made one hell of a cannon ball just as the ship came to a stop. Laughing, he slowly started to climb back onto the ship and smiled at Skull, "I think that is more fun." he said as he wiped water off of his face and then heard screaming coming from the other ship.

Skulls smiled as the ship came up beside hers and blinked watching William jump into the water.She then gave a him a grin as he climbed back up dripping wet and shirtless.She laughed hearing him."Aye, that does look like more fun",she said getting ready to swing over to Nevo's ship. "But when the ship is moving , it may not be a good idea.Ye may get left behind",she laughed once more before swinging over to Nevo's ship and landing behind her she went over hugging her. "I'm right here!",she said happily. "my my what brings you to these parts?!",she said happily. Being very glad to see her old friend again.

Kyoto smiled softly watching Nevo,then blinked as Skulls had come over to the ship. He smiled waling over to the side of the boat,not wanting to get in the way of their reunion. He turned his head and stared at Captain Skull's ship. There, climbing up the side of the ship was his one friend. William. Just what the heck was he doing on a Pirates ship? He hoped that he was there willingly.

Nevo smield as she hugged skull closely once she was on her ship and smiled at her, "just heading to pirates cove after getting some supplies and ambushing a government ship." she said as she looked at her friend. She still looked as tough and as wild as ever. "how about you? just enjoying yourself out on the sea or are you hunting a ship?" she asked as she looked at her. She then saw a man hop over the ship, "and I can see you picked up a stray yourself." she said happily, new members meant new faces and more family.

William chuckled when he heard Skull, "I would hate to be left behind so I will save jumping overboard for when we are anchored." he said as he followed her over to the other ship. That was when he saw the prince and he couldn't help but gap for a second. Quickly, he walked over and wrapped a arm around Kyoto as he whispered, "Your highness, what the hell are you doing here?" Even though they were friend he still had to address him formally at times. Yet it was clear he was worried as he looked at his friend.

Skull smiled."Pirates cove, you don't say",she said grinning then grinned."sorry i missed the fun",when she asked about what she herself was doing."me?well ...",she sighed softly."I'm just going threw the seas like always",she suddenly had this look of determination."and hunt down that ship with the black sails",she said softly.Then her look lightened up when she spoke of her new lad."yes he is very skilled with a sword, he was barely able to keep up with me for the most part, and didn't give up until my sword was at his neck",she then turned and frowned seeing William hug Kyoto."they know each other",she said softly.

Kyoto twitched but hugged him back."could ask you the same thing law man",he whispered back."ran away from home",he answered finally.

Nevo nodded and smiled at her, "that sounds like the skull I know, always on the look out for that ship and hanging on the seas." she said since she knew that ship was something that Skull would always be looking for. Though when she heard her she nodded, "he must have tried for a while to be able to actually keep up with you. If I remember correctly you have bested me at the sword every time we have had a fight." she said as she remembered all the fights they have had. Though when she saw the two hugging she shrugged, "That is my new crew hand, maybe they knew they would run into each other or something." she said slightly curious.

William pulled away from him and smirked, "you know very well I have no plans of being a man of the law." he whispered back, "and I guess great minds think alike." he said softly, "but it is good to see you." he said happily and it was. After everything it was good to see a friendly face.

Skulls smiled some and nodded."right",she then grinned."well,it looks like we were ment to meet up.Mind if our ship joins you on the way to pirates cove?",she asked happily



Kyoto smiled."agreed",he said also glad to see his friend then looked over at the their captains watching them."you have a plan on explaining how we know each-other?"

Nevo smiled, "that would be great, we can have some fun on the way there." she said happily and was glad that they had ran into her now. She then looked at the boys, "but I wonder if they are going to let us in on there whispering." she said absently and was getting curious now.

William looked over at the captains, "I have been telling them that I am a servant from a house that ran away. Maybe we can go with that you were a merchant or a servant that I met in passing or something." he said softly and wondered if that sounded believable.

Skull gave a grin."lets go see",she said getting that playful mischievous look in her eyes.She quietly crept over to the boys. That's one thing that made her deadly. She was silent, and most people didn't here her until she was right there."You know boys, keeping secrets from the captain is NEVER a good idea",she said hand on her sword.She didn't intend to use of course. She just liked to scare people sometimes.

Kyoto nodded some then hearing Skulls suddenly behind him he jumped turning to her."oh uh, captain Skulls! we were just catching up!",he said nervously seeing her hand on the sword.

William jumped only slightly but then smiled as he turned to the Captain, "Sorry captain, we were just catching up." he said and then pointed over his shoulder at Kyoto, "We were childhood friends when lived off in a different town. I just never expected to see him on a pirate ship, he seemed like more of the type to go work at a government office or something." he said, glad he had thought of something to say. He doubled that either of the pirates would like knowing they had the prince and a government official on the ship.

Nevo nodded as she looked at them and chuckled as she looked at Kyoto, "oh she won't bite, trust me, her bark is worse then her bite." she said and then punched Skull in the shoulder, "be nice, I don't want you frightening off my new cabin boy. I have plans for him already." she said as she smiled at her friend.

Skulls laughed looking to Navo after she had punched her arm."sorry but I had to ",she said grinning."oh what kind of plans?",she said giving a playful smirk.Honestly Skull's had way to much fun sometimes.

Kyoto relaxed when William covered for them."yeah, i could have said the same about Will here, he had the smarts to be in the government office,but hes wild in a way so im not surprised he would end up on your ship"

Nevo blushed and gave Skull another punch to the shoulder, "My plans were to get him to clean the entire ship including all the areas the others don't and cooking for us. He looks like he can make better food the Gus." she said and even though she knew Skull was just teasing her she couldn't get the blush to go away.

William smirked, "what can I say the waves called to me." he said as he smiled at his friend and when he heard Nevo he laughed. "sorry, don't ask me to cook. I may be good with my hands but I can't cook to save my life. More likely I would set fire to the ship." he said in all honesty.

Kyoto looked to Nevo smiling at her blush. But tried not to say too much."well its a good thing im good at cooking,cleaning on the other hand is another story",he said nervously

Skulls just laughed."oh relax Nevo I'm just teasing! Though by your blush ...I'd say you almost thought I was being serious",she then looked thoughtful."then again we pirates do get board from time to time",she then heard William and smiled looking to him."well Will,your lucky we already have a great cook"

Nevo smiled at Kyoto, "good because our current cook can't make anything to save his life. I think he has even managed to burn milk when warming it for me." she said as she smiled at him and then glared at Skull, "and you know I hate being teased." and then punched her again once for good measure.

William smiled and could clearly tell that the two girls had known each other for a very long time. They acted familiar, even more familiar then he was with Kyoto. They were family. Laughined as he heard Skull, he just shook his head and knew she was just trying to egg Nevo on more. "good, have me clean anything you want but never let me in the kitchen or else you may not have one to come back too."

Skulls laughed some more."alright alright i'll lay off",she said grinning,then ave a smirk."so your willing to clean AYTHING?",she asked getting 'that look', in her eyes again. "and i mean anything?",she smirked going over to Will looking him over. "no madder what it involves?"

Kyoto grinned to Nevo. "So are you getting hungry? ,I can start cooking if you liek",he said happily but blinked as Skull's had this look that made him think Will may just regret what he had said

Nevo shook her head when she heard Skull and knew that Will was going to walk right into that trap. She swore that Skull couldn't help but tease everyone she liked. Looking at Kyoto, "food sounds good, we can have a big meal and then make our way to pirates cove." she said as she smiled at him.

William was surprised when he heard Skull and right away simply nodded his head, "yes, I will clean anything within reason." he said as he looked at her, " Though if you tell me to go scrub a rock that we just passed I will have to refuse unless that is your way of telling me to get the hell off your ship." he said as he smiled at her.

"then with your permission ,I'll go get started",Kyoto said softly but smiled to Nevo happily."what part of the ship holds the kitchen?",he asked removing his coat and rolling up his selves..He was exited to be actually be doing some work.He then looked to William and laughed."Ah Will ... you may regret saying that"

Skulls grinned softly."Nah i wouldn't be that mean.Well unless you dumb enough to betray me",she said haveing a small look of death then turned away."Ill have our cook make food too, and we can all join one another for some grub,that sound good?",she asked Nevo happily

Will laughed when he heard Kyoto and knew he might, but it was his job to do whatever Skull wanted. Though when he heard her betray remark he hoped that his face didn't know the twist that had appeared in his stomach. He would never betray her but he was a governors son, just having him around may cause problems. Though he was glad that she turned to food and didn't say anything else. Smiling he looked at the others, "I will gladly get a few tables set up so that we can enjoy our food."

Nevo smiled when she heard them and nodded, "how about if I show you to the kitchen. Since we just got some fresh food everything should taste the best right now." she said and then motioned for Kyoto to follow her, "come on, it is this way." she said happily

Kyoto followed Nevo happily ."great!",he said following."cooking with freash food is the best!",he said looking truely happy.

Skull's turned to him."Will, our tables are boarded down",she said grinning."lets just bring up the blates,then we'll show you how pirates selebrate".she said heading below deck

Nevo smiled, "then I can't wait to see what you make." she said as she opened the door to the kitchen. It was pretty small and kind of cluttered but what did you expect from a pirate ship. "Sorry if its a little bit of a mess, we try to keep it clean and tidy but the waves make things a mess." she said as she looked at him.

William felt a little foolish when he heard Skull but then nodded. "Sounds like a plan, I haven't seen a pirate celebration before." In truth he had only been to proper parties where everyone is in dress and tie. You couldn't eat with your elbow on the table, you had to eat all 8 courses, and you had to talk politely. He couldn't wait to see what kind of party this would be.

{Sorry again....got called into work last night -_-}

Skulls turned to William and smiled."its the best, there's drinking ,some of the crew plays music , and we have a bond fire in a oil drum" she said opening the sliding door to the dining area/kitchen. "there's no rules,well ,other then have fun",she said grabbing plates off a locked cupboard. "some times we even challenge each other in games of skill"

Kyoto grinned to her."this will be just fine. Maybe I could help get it cleaned up and organized a bit",he said looking over the food he had to work with and smiled happily. "And you were right about Skull's, though , the way she talked about betrayal makes me think that someone has done that to her before",he said with a soft frown. Maybe, he and William were better off coming clean now while they still could.
