Silver Infinity ((Kamukura X Komaeda))

Chapter Fifteen: Surrounded

"Did you hear me?" Nekomaru pointed his musket in Komaeda's direction. "Your hoods, lower them, let me see your faces."
Of course, with his height, he couldn't actually see their eyes with hoods up.
Nagito wasn't about to take his chances with a giant gun pointed at his forehead. Slowly raising his arms, showing the soldier he was unarmed, the pirate pulled back his hood, exposing his snow-white, incredibly messy hair to the gleaming sun.
"Not a scratch on you." Nekomaru raised an eyebrow, as though he were expecting a tattered-up man with battle scars. "Alright, your turn." He directed the gun in Kamukura's view. "And don't think I'll hesitate just because you're a girl!
A pang of fear struck Nagito quickly when Izuru didn't move. How could he?
With his... Secret and all, Kamukura couldn't touch sunlight, right?
"This isn't necessary-" Komaeda tried to argue only for the solider to click the musket ready.

"Don't think I didn't hear your accents, you're not from around here. She's Japanese, right?" Nekomaru turned attention to Komaeda, "And your voice, England I take it? There's only one reason two people so far apart on the globe would be together here, huh? You're pirates, no doubt about it! Just lower your hood and let me see your face!"
With an exhale, Izuru rose his arms, and Komaeda could only expect the worst. Would he burn to a crisp, die right there?
Suddenly, a blade was whipped out from the Captain's robes and he swung it towards the musket, forcing the gun upwards just as a shot rang into the air.
"What is this!?" Nekomaru jumped back and quickly regained his composure before pointing his gun again.
Yet, Izuru didn't hesitate.

"How can a girl be so strong? Even for a pirate, nobody has ever..." His eyes widened before Nekomaru scowled. "Nobody has ever managed to throw me off like that!"
"You're mistaken." Kamukura tilted his head, more dark locks pooling out from his hood to drape across his body. "Any female of my crew could take you on quite easily. But I am not such a girl." Raising his head, the Pirate King allowed Nekomaru to look upon his face.
"Do you recognize me?" The dark man frowned ever so slightly. "A shame if you didn't, here I was assuming my wanted posters would have been sent across every continent."

"You're..." Sweat was forming across the soldier's forehead, a strike of fear in his eyes. "The unkillable King of Pirates. What are you doing here!?" He aimed his gun, ready to take the shot.
"Shooting is a useless waste of bullets. You said it yourself, I am unkillable."
The two men stood perfectly still, it was like Komaeda was watching a moment frozen in time. He wasn't really planning on taking on a Spaniard soldier, was he!?
"Please don't kill him," Nagito ushered, loud enough for only Kamukura to hear. For a second, an unreadable emotion wavered in the Captain's eyes before it was gone the moment he blinked.

"If you're the King of Pirates, who is he?" The gun pointed in Nagito's direction. "I've never seen his face before. Are you a hostage?"
"Don't worry about him." The dark man spun the blade between his fingers. Swords were too obvious with the disguises, all the crew could do was hide dual daggers in the robes and hope a mob didn't run after them. "He is my fluffy lover, not a threat to you."
The pirate quickly shook away a blush. What was he just called?

"Lover?" Nekomaru thought for a moment like he was trying to do the math in his head. After a long minute, Izuru's shoulders drooped.
"Don't hurt yourself thinking about it. There's nothing to theorize about."
"I'm not stupid!" The gun returned to targeting the Pirate King. "I'm just wondering how anyone, in any world, could possibly love a disgusting monster like you! You damn murderer! Show your face like a man!"
Komaeda could visibly see Kamukura tense up, if he wasn't already tense enough.
He could only imagine how such words were hurting.
