"Fine! i pick..." i stop and think for a moment.

"Eduardo." i say and his eyes grow wide.

"What!? why the hell did ya pick me!?" he says and i glare at him.

"What? are you scared of me?" i start to smirk, he comes up to me and picks me up by the collar. I knee him in the stomach, as he falls down i draw out my sword, he quickly gets up and points his gun at me. Thomas runs and stands in between us, his arms extended to keep us apart.

"Wait, stop it you two!" he yells and Eduardo walks up to Thomas, putting his gun away.

"What are ya doin' Thomas?" He says and shoves him.

"Hey! Don't try and hurt Miss Kimura, its her first day!" he yells and they keep on fighting until Christopher yells,

"Thats enough, both of you!" He yells and they stop fighting almost instantly.

"Eduardo, show her your room." Christopher says and Eduardo clicks his tongue.

"Tch, follow me." he says and starts walking.

"Push over..." i say under my breath and follow him. We walk down a narrow corridor with doors along it, suddenly he stops and opens one of the doors at the back.

"Go in." he says and i walk into the room. It was small but not tiny, all it has is a single bed and a cupboard. He follows behind me and says,

"This is my room, tonight i'll sleep on the floor while ya sleep on the bed." he says and i tilt my head sideways.

"What? no way, i'll sleep on the floor." i say and he glares at me.

"Did ya just talk back t' me?"

"Hell yeah i did."

"Why did ya pick me anyway?" He says and i think for a moment.

"Dunno, first name that popped into my head i guess." i say and shrug, i was about to lean on the wall but i remembered the gunshot wound in my shoulder.

"Ya might wanna go to Chris." he says almost reading my mind. For once i actually agreed with him.

"Yeah, can you show me where the umm-"

"Infirmary."

"Yeah, where that place is?" he gets up and walks out of the room and i follow him. We go down the corridor again and Eduardo knocks on one of the doors at the front.

"Yeah?" i hear Christopher's voice on the other side of the door.

"Um, can you bandage my shoulder?" i say and he opens the door.

"Oh sure, thanks for bringing her Eduardo."

"...mn." He says and walks off.

"Come in." Christopher leads me into the room and pats on the medical bed, motioning for me to sit down. I sit and he gets a bunch of medical stuff out.

"So hows Ed? he being nice to ya?" he asks me and i nod my head.

"Not really but he doesn't scare me." I say and Christopher turns around with a cotton ball soaked in something.

"This is some disinfectant, it may sting a little." he says and i nod. i pull my sleeve down my arm so he can see my wound.

"Wow thats quite deep, we may have to remove the bullet."

"Ow, okay."

"Anyway, you don't find him scary?" i shake my head in response.

"No not really, he can sound scary but i don't find him that much intimidating." i say and he sighs.

"What?"

"Im gonna have to get some tweezers to remove the bullet." He says and I nod my head.

"Fine." He finds the tweezers in a draw and dips it in the same disinfectant as before. He walks over to me and stands behind me.

"Okay, this will hurt, I'm sorry about that." He says and I nod my head again. I could feel him put the tweezers into my back and i did my best to hold back the scream.

"Ah-mm!" i stopped myself from screaming as i knew it would cause a scene.

"God and on my birthday too..." I say mutter my breath and Christopher stops moving the tweezers, i hear a bit of shock in his voice while he speaks.

"Oh its your birthday?"

"Yeah, im 21." I say and i can hear him sigh.

"I feel sorry for you, getting stuck here on your birthday."

"Meh, its not like i celebrate anyway." i say and i feel him start to move the tweezers again.

"Okay i feel the bullet, this may hurt."

"Okay." i feel him try to remove the bullet from my shoulder, it hurts like freaking hell.

"Oww! stop please stop!" i cant take it and just start yelling. When i got the bullet into my shoulder it went in quickly so it barely hurt that much, but now Christopher is going so slowly that i can feel every last bit of pain in my shoulder.

"Sorry, this will be over soon." he says and starts pulling it out more. It goes on for about another minute and then Christopher says,

"There, its out." I breathe a sigh of relief. He patches up my wound and then i can finally leave.

"Try not to sleep on that side tonight." he says to me as i walk out the door.

"Okay thanks." i wave as i walk out the door.

I start walking back to Eduardo's room when i see a pair of double doors.

"Whats in there." my curiosity gets the better of me and i push the double-doors open. I walk into a big room with a bar table in the middle and chairs all around it. I see another set of doors on the other side of the room. Im about to push them open when suddenly i feel someone touch my (unwounded) shoulder.

"Ah!"

"What the hell woman!?" I accidentally elbowed Russell in the stomach.

"Oh sorry, instincts." i say and he looks at me with an annoyed look on his face.

"Well its a good thing I caught ya, don't go into those doors, thats the kitchen." he says and points to the doors on the other side of the room.

"Pfft, what are you protective of the food or something? i never would have guessed your a comfort eater." i laugh a little and Russell looks at me angry.

"No ya idiot! Nathan doesn't like anyone goin' into the kitch'n but him." He says and crosses his arms. Yeah he's always been like that, i cant believe he doesn't remember me... I think to myself when we hear a huge bang.

*BANG, BANG!*

The ship shakes heavily and i almost fall over but somehow i keep my balance. I hear from outside the room Thomas yelling,

"Its the Rika!"
