A Pirate's Love ✔

Part 1: The Pirates of Sirius

***6 YEARS LATER***

"Ok, I think I have everything now... hopefully," 18 year old, Rizuki, said nervously as she quickly packed up her bag and slung it over her shoulder.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Ayano asked curiously as she entered the room.

"Um, nothing, just going out to you know train, throw some sticks, make mud pie, you know the usual," Rizuki rambled. Ayano looked at her weirdly.

"Throwing sticks and making mud pie isn't the kinds of things that you usually do," Ayano stated, "Are you feeling ok?"

"Uh huh, perfect," Rizuki said, "Never felt better. Anyways, I'm going to go now."

"Well, like I always say do be careful," Ayano said as she waved to Rizuki.

"Yup, I will see ya later Ayano," Rizuki called back as she made her way down stairs and to the front.

"Rizuki, where on earth are you going?" Koichi asked as he approached his daughter.

"Um, nowhere just outside for some fresh air," Rizuki explained curtly.

"Well, do hurry because we have a dinner with the king, queen, and prince of Meadowlands," Koichi responded. At the mention of the Meadowlands, Rizuki stifled a laugh remembering the time that she had burped at the table. "Rizuki, this is not a laughing matter. Now, hurry up and get ready."

"Yes, father," Rizuki answered as she bowed her head and exited the palace. She breathed a sigh of relief as she rushed into town.

"Everybody, all aboard please!" a man in a sailor's suit called and everybody near the docks came rushing towards a grand boat.

"Um, excuse me, when will the next boat be here?" Rizuki asked the guy in the sailor's suit.

"It will be here in about 10 minutes," the man replied.

"Oh, thank you very much," Rizuki thanked the man as he walked off and she sat on the dock waiting for the next boat to arrive. 10 minutes later a boat did indeed come and it stopped in front of the dock. Two men come onto the docks and began to tie ropes to the dock before walking off. Rizuki stood there awkwardly as she looked up at the boat. It looked nothing like the boat that had been there 10 minutes ago. In fact, it looked quite different. Rizuki shrugged as she boarded the boat. She set her stuff down once she boarded the boat and looked around.

"Hm, who are ya?" Someone asked from behind her. She turned around to see a cute looking guy. He had orangy hair and dark brown eyes. He looked at her in surprise.

"Um... well... I...," Rizuki responded awkwardly.

"Are ya a new recruit?" The guy asked with a smile. Rizuki was so confused that she just simply nodded. "So am I. Well, actually, I'm not really a new recruit. I've been on this ship for 2 years now, but I'm still a newbie."

"Uh, that's cool I think," Rizuki responded, "Um, so, where can I place my stuff?"

"Oh, we have a spare bedroom, so ya can take it down here," the guy said as he showed Rizuki down the stairs of the boat. She followed him down the hall until he came to a room. "Here ya go."

"Uh, thanks," Rizuki thanked him as she bowed.

"Why ya bowing to me?" The guys asked curiously.

"Uh, no reason," Rizuki responded as she set her stuff down in the room. It was rather small, but it would do.

"By the way, I'm Thomas," the guy named Thomas introduced himself as he extended his arm out. Rizuki extended her arm out too and shakes it gently.
