The captain put down his fork and laid back in his chair. "I can't believe you're done, Old Man," Arekusandā said, with a mouthful of Ramen and barbecue. "Unlike you, my son, I have never been a pig," his full father answered. Takeshi glanced at the others. To the right of Arekusandā, sat the blue-haired boy, Nagisa - he had just finished. Next to him, sat the man-child called Riko, still stuffing his face. Looking at the newly awakened Rangiku, the captain was shocked as he watched her practically throw food down her throat. If they were to have an eating contest, there was no way he would ever put his money on his son again.
Laughter came from the chair just past where his wife once sat. Kaiba questioned, "So, what do you think of my team, Captain?" "Now, sitting at my table, you are now all my family and you will always be welcome on the Kyūbiko," answered the big man. "Tell me about yourselves." "Well, for starters, we are ninja from the Land of Leaves, Hanotochi1️⃣. My team and I are on our way to the Mountain of Shadows, Kagenoyama2️⃣." "WHAT ARE NINJA? Where is Kagenoyama? Why do you have to go?" Arekusandā yelled. Riko asked him, "How could you not know what a ninja is?!" "It's okay, Riko," said Kaiba. "A ninja is a person trained mostly for espionage and assassination, but we do other things as well." "Coooolll..." Arekusandā said, in awe, "Can you show me?" "Is that alright, Biko-sensei3️⃣?" Nagisa asked his teacher. "Yes, Nagisa-kun. But, tomorrow, so we are all rested."
"Then, everyone to BED!"
BUT, yeah, you knew it was coming, instead of going to bed, Arekusandā left to visit the ninja in the room the Kitsune captain gave them. Turns out the ninja left a note on their door,
"I am sorry my new friends, but we must leave. We will see each other again. Then, and only then, will we make it up to you for the incredible hospitality you have given us. When we meet again.
-Kaiba Biko
Hanotochi Ninja Team 7"
Having read the note, Arekusandā ran to the boats that hung on the side of the ship. Without looking, he jumped overboard to get to the ninjas' boat." "AAAAHHHHH!!!!" "What the h---?!" "Man, what are you doing?" Riko yelled at him. Rangiku hit him to shut him up. "SORRY!" he whisper-screamed. "I want to come with you guys," the pirate boy said. "NO, you can't!" Kaiba said. "Well, I'm coming anyway!" "FINE, JUST SHUT UP!"
