Yondu's Krylorian

CHAPTER FOUR

     "Shit."

     "YES!" Taserface rejoiced. "TASERFACE REIGNS SUPREME!" I couldn't believe I fucking lost. What a crock of shit. I glared up at Taserface who happily pulled the pot closer to him before looking up at me. "I'll be taking the rest of my units now, Krylorian."

     "I don't think so." I scoffed.

     "We had a deal."

     "Indeed, we did, but you should pay attention to the words in a conversation before making a verbal agreement with someone. The deal was that whoever lost, lost the pot and had to wake up Yondu naked, nothing was ever said about the winner getting all the loser's units."

     "She's got a point there." Horuz smirked. "I for one am glad that it's her who has to do it."

     "I agree." Kraglin nodded. "I've seen you in the shower room, it's not a pretty sight."

     "You know what?" Taserface tittered. "I'm not even mad. Losing all the units is worth seeing you undressed." Taserface seductively licked his bottom lip. "Get to it, Krylorian." I let out a sigh and rose to my feet, kicking off my boots. As I removed my coat, Tullk, Horuz, and Kraglin walked over to me and stood in front of me, blocking everyone's view. "Sit down."

     "No." Tullk grumbled. "She's a good woman, she don't need your eyes lingering all over her." I gently smiled and continued to undress, handing Kraglin each article of clothing as I pried them off my body. I mentally sighed at the sight of my bare body. It was littered with bruises and scars, each one varying with age. I carefully reached around Kraglin and grabbed my coat and put it back on, buttoning it up before tapping Kraglin on the shoulder to let him know I was done.

     "You screwed me over, Krylorian!" Taserface growled.

     "No, I just know how to get in and out of every loophole in a contract, verbal or physical." I smirked. "Alright, let's get this shit over with."

     "I'll take you to the Captain's quarter's." Kraglin volunteered. I gently nodded and followed Kraglin out of the commons and down the hall. "You know, you don't have to do this. We can say you did, and they'd believe us."

     "No they wouldn't. Yondu's gonna be pissed, you said it yourself, he's not a morning person."

     "I could convince him to go along with it."

     "Really?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

     "You're right. Best to get it over with as quick as possible." Kraglin sighed. "So, what are you gonna tell him when he wakes up?"

     "Not sure, I was thinking about going the comedic route and just say 'nice weather we're having' or something like that."

     "Well, whatever you excuse you come up with, it better be good otherwise you're not coming out of that room alive." I gently nodded and stopped in front of a door as Kraglin entered a pin into a key pad, opening the door. A faint snoring sound emitted from the room and Kraglin motioned for me to enter.

     "Do me a favor?" Kraglin nodded. "Tell Taserface to hold my clothes for me?" Kraglin instantly smiled and nodded again. Taking a nervous deep breath, I quietly entered the room and smiled back at Kraglin as he shut the door behind me. Yondu's room was fairly neat. A stack of clean clothes sat on top of his large dresser with a golden arrow right beside it. It was the arrow from the bathroom. I carefully picked it up and examined it.

     It was light, and yet made of what appeared to be gold plated steel. The core was red and could be seen through the slits of what I guess would be featherless fletching. It was a technologically advanced arrow. Maybe self controlling? I heard a whistle every time it moved, maybe Yondu controlled it that way, but how was beyond my knowledge. I carefully sat it back down and removed my coat as I walked over to the side of Yondu's bed. Moonlight shone through the window, illuminating his body, instantly causing me to gasp.
