A year later...

~Len's POV~

"Captain!" Kaito panicked. It wasn't usual for him, he was the type to stay calm in most situations.

"Yes, Kaito?" I replied as I turn my head to his direction.

"There's a ship coming at us!"

"What!?" I yelled in surprise. I looked to my left, it was true.

"Can you warn them?" I asked him. Although it was more of a request since I was the captain.

I looked at the ship again, this time, it showed a flag. A black flag. One that all sailors truly fear. The Jolly Roger.

"Pirates" I hissed in disgust. I don't like them one bit. They were the ones that took my dad's life on our first voyage together.

"Warn the crew, get them ready like in the drills we've had." I commanded.

Kaito left to warn everyone while I continued to try and steer the ship out of the situation.

"They're getting closer!" Kaito panicked again as he came back.

'No shit sherlock' I thought, but was unable to say, as my lips were frozen in fear.

As the ships' hulls touched, a pirate got on board my ship.

"Yarr" a young blonde pirate growled.

Kaito chuckled a little.

"You think they're just playing?" He asked at the sight of the boy who appeared to be younger than me.

"Who knows" I answered, partially showing my surprise.

But alas, the doubts were short-lived as older-looking swashbucklers boarded the ship soon after.

I looked to the port half, Miku and Rin were fighting off a white-haired woman... or is it a man..? with a broom and a hose. On the other side was Kaito and Gakupo fighting off a red-haired man with a mop and a machete.

The other are working hard, defending the ship. And I have to stay here, controlling it. It sucks... *a lot*.

"You're the captain right?" A voice beside me spoke. I turned my head to look. It was the boy. He had an eyepatch on his left eye, typical for a pirate. And bandages on his right leg. Okay, that is a bit atypical.

"Yes" I muttered bitterly.

He pulled out his sword, "surrender now and make it easy for all of us."

"No, I wont!" I replied, pulling out my own.

He striked first, it was a fairly even sword fight, despite my enemy being a few years younger and a few centimetres shorter than me. I slowly backed away as he advanced more and more.

"Ah" I said. The pirate boy had turned the wheel unexpectedly and almost took me by surprise.

'I'm not going to lose to a kid' I thought as I continued to defend myself while looking for an opening.

After a while, my inexperienced hand started to tire out, 'This is not happening!' I thought.

He striked the sword out of my hand and held my neck at the tip of his.

"Come with us" He said seriously, glaring me with his one open eye. I had no choice but to comply.

***

"Pirates" I spat as they shoved me into a room in their ship.

"Sorry, Len." Kaito apologised.

"Yeah, sorry we couldn't beat them." Rin apologised. Rin knew how much I hated them, she knew why. She was there when it happened. She hates them too, for all the same reasons, but not as much as me, as she never grew as close to our father as me.

"It was my fault, if I had won against their captain, this wouldn't have happened." I sighed, sitting in the corner of the dark room.

"You think they'd let us out?" Miku asked, worried.

"Doubt it." I answered in a depressive tone.

"Even if they did, it'd probably be to walk the plank or something." I continued.

"We have to find a way to escape" Gakupo said with hope in his voice.

"How? We can't just break the door down." I said. I wasn't being pessimistic, I was being realistic.

"Good question." He said as he went back to thinking mode.

"Don't bother" A childish voice spoke. It was him! My blood started to boil the second I heard his voice.

"You won't get out of here, ever!" He told us. Probably smirking on the other side of wherever he's talking from.

"Unless..." unless?

"You join us!"

"No way!" I answered quickly. No way am I stooping down to their level. No way am I going to be a pirate.

"Well, too bad. You're not escaping then!" He said evilly through the hole on top of the room.

'They'll slip up someday... right?' I thought, 'then we'll be able to escape from them."

And with that, I drifted asleep in the dark room.

※ I'm so sorry this chapter sucked. It was honestly hard for me to write this one.
Believe it or not, the original draft had 5 POV changes XD
