Kaori knocked on the door three times.

Sparky answered the door, he was suprised to see Kaori AND Aya. "Uh... hello, can I help you two?" he asked, confused why a water and sky pirate were hanging out


Meka smiled, "I think you have a heart, but don't push it." she said. "You might annoy the women."

Aya ran over to sparky and leaned onto him. "I've done wrong... I fell for it .. I am sorry..." Aya began to cry. She was rather weak from everything going on. She couldn't take this much longer.

"Ha! Thanks. Are you going to leave or not? Aya did leave you know. I have no reason to leave, so I just wait here for my captain return. Things are different for you and I.." Tysis smiled for the first time in a while. It was rather odd. This ship was rather depressing.

Sparky put his arms around Aya, "Don't worry, I'm here now," he glared at kaori. "What the hell did you do to her?"

"What about our agreement?" kaori said.

"Aya will meet Sparky soon," Meka said. "She'll have no need to see me, he will protect her... I won't be needed... I never am when he is around."

Aya stood still. "I should have known better" she mummbled.

"Hey .. Thats no way to be... I thought you hated this ship, wouldn't you rather be on land? or the air at that?" Tysis was puzzled by the reply from Meka. He didn't expect it.

"It's okay," Sparky said. "I'm here, there is no need to worry any longer. Any mistakes you made mean nothing now."


Meka glared at him, "WEll, my ship is destroyed. By the way, you owe me a ship and you've sorta grown on me... oh... and your captain... I'd be worried about him..."

Aya turned herself around and face Kaori. "I won't tell him! I won't! I want the Sky to be free, not imprisoned just because your greedy!" she sneered at Kaori. Aya held onto one of sparky's hands as a way to feel confident.

"I apologize for that, however I cannot replace it. I was following orders what can I say... Why should I be worried about him?" Tysis paused. "Wait, I've grown on you?"

"You go girl," Sparky whispered in her ear. "Kaori is weaker than you'd think."


"Yeah," Meka said. "You aren't as much of a pest to me anymore."

"Sparky ... I can't keep this up .. I feel sota terrible" she whispered. "Kaori, I beg of your leave. Leave..." Aya trembled at her knees. I hate to admit it .. I'm dead scared....

"Oh really, do I still consist of cooties?" Tysis asked.

"Then don't," Sparky told her. "Kaori, you have 5 seconds to leave before I shoot you." he said.

Kaori rolled his eyes, "You know I can't die, but I'll leave... for now... but I will get my lighting. I promise!"

Meka shrugged, "Do you have cooties?"

Aya looked at Sparky's face. He was serious. She felt safe knowing he was being protective of her.

"No! However I will be saying good bye fairly soon." Tysis leaned down and kissed Meka lightly. "Farwell" Tysis nudged her off the boat. "Get, Go! You no longer needed upon this board" said Tysis smiling. "Go! Get little princess, and beware of the streets at night."

"You know," Sparky said. "You aren't leaving here until I here the ship leave and it's far on the horizon."


Meka blushed, "Why... why did you do that? I don't even know your name..." she said. "What will your captain think? What will my crew think? Why am I so dizzy!" she couldn't explain the feeling that she was getting. "Are we going to see each other again?"

"Thank you ..." Aya was beginning to collapse. She was over-tired and exhausted from her very long day. She had been through enough to last her a while.

"Its best you don't know my name. As for my captain, hell he doesn't really care what I do as long as I do my job. However I cannot answer the rest, your crew is yours, and as for seeing you again. Who knows, it may be in a month, a year.. Desinty will choose that. However I did not expect you to want to see me again..." Tysis paused. "But I guess thats something I am unsure about."

Whoops!

'If you want, I'll loan you my couch," Sparky told her.


Meka smiled slightly, "I'd love to see you again..." she said. "It'd be wonderful if I could... it really would..."

"I guess I should, shouldn't I... Sparky, why are you so kind to me? I mean I almost sold you off ... I didn't think he would leave like that ... and Meka... She never came! What if they kept her... Oh no! That pervert who shot us down! What if he did something to her!" Aya spoke in a squeaky yet tiresome voice. "Where is your couch.?"

"Ha! Well we'll see now won't we." He stroked her cheek. "Now go! Shoo! Aya needs to know you alive doesn't she?"

"Meka is fine," Sparky said. "There is a have descent man among them... I trust him... hopefully..."


Meka smiled weakly, "Yes... I... I will be seeing you..." she said. Getting off the ship. "Later mystery man!" she said before running in the direction of Sparky's cabins.

"I don't believe that! I refuse too! He's the one who brought me too that Kaori dude..." said Aya worried.

Tysis waved. "Now you saw none off this" he said crossly to the mateys aboard. I am going to the upper deck. Leave me be!"

"kaori has a temper," Sparky said. "He kills whenever he is angry... at any cost as well."


Meka got to Sparky's house and pounded on the door. "Sparky open up!"

"Just a sec," Sparky opened the door and Meka ran through.


Meka saw Aya, panting she said six little words, "Aya... I... think... I'm... in... love..." she panted.

Aya jumped up. "Are you insane! Are you feeling well!" she shouted. "Who is he! I need to straighten this man out! He is so getting a piece of my mind!" Aya paused for a moment. "When and how did this happen" Aya looked at her seriously the noticed what she had done and sat down on the couch and placed her hand against her forehead.

"Um..." Meka shrugged. "It was that water pirate guy... oh my... I think he won my heart... yep," she said, placing a hand on her chest. "It's still skipping beats."

Sparky rolled his eyes, "Isn't that what you call mutiny, Meka?" he asked.

"Are you insane! He shot us down! We are in this mess because of him! Oooh! When I see him I am so going to give him something to eat!" Aya's stomach growled. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that..." Aya smiled. "So how did he do that?"

Meka shook her head really fast. "Don't hurt him Aya! He's a nice person! He... uh... nevermind..." she said, changing her mind.


Sparky looked closely at Meka. "He kissed you huh?"


"Shut up!" Meka retailiated.

"He did what!! How could you let him do such a thing" Aya was fuming. "Why is it I am suppose to believe that he is kind at heart?" Aya stood up ignoring her fatigue. "I can't believe this, my own captain is in love with a Navigator/Commandor of a sea ship. This helps me forget things so well... I need a drink, I need food! I need help dammit!" Aya started pacing back and forth. "Who is the person you trust on that ship Sparky?"

"He's a man name Tysis... he's the only one on the crew who has somewhat of a will against Kaori," Sparky said, going into the freezer and pulling out some homemade ale. "here, drink this."

"I'm sorry..." Meka said, sitting down on Sparky's chair.

"Ahh Thank you" said Aya feeling her cheeks warm up. "I should be the one apologizing. I was having a crack moment." said Aya addressing it to Meka. "Tysis, What do you mean he has somewhat of a will against Kaori?"
