You are a Pirate || Haikyuu

Chapter Two

When Koutarou had woken that morning, he never thought he'd have the prince aboard his ship—Well, ever really.

He had to admit, it was weird, but really lucky. For turning the prince in there was sure to be a lot of reward cash and lord knows they need it.

Right now, he was staring out at sea after he had given the stowaways temporary beds. Kenma, their cat, had taken a liking to Shouyou. It was almost disappointing he'd have have to get rid of Shouyou. Almost.

Then again, he was totally going to get some major cash from this if it went okay.

A small splash catches his attention. Huh? What was that? No more than a moment later, a head emerges from the water. A man...? A really pretty man at that.

Hesitantly, Bokuto waves. The man's adorable lips quirk up slightly. Bokuto's heart beats faster. The man opens his mouth to say something. What--

"Captain!" Ennoshita jogs up and places a hand around his shoulders in a friendly way. It was warm... What was I thinking? Oh well. "It's time for dinner."

"Oh yeah! What's for dinner?" Koutarou asks excitedly.

"Salmon, just like always."

"Of course." Koutarou laughs loudly. Something in his mind felt wrong. Like he was missing something. He looks over at the water and doesn't see anything. Wasn't there someone...?

"The food is going to get cold," he teases. Koutarou frowns in concentration.

"Yeah." He says, walking down the stairs with the cogs turning in his head. Strange. He had to be forgetting something! Obviously, it was something big if he was concentrating that much. The room is lively, filled with the sounds of drunken laughter and the smell of delicious food. Koutarou sits down in his comfy chair.

He picks at his food, his brain working. What could I have forgotten that meant so much to me? He notices Ennoshita looking at him worriedly out of the corner of his eye.

"...Are you okay? You don't seem to have much of an appetite." Daichi frowns. Daichi is Koutarou's first mate and childhood friend, so of course he'd be the first one to speak up.

"I'm.. alright," Koutarou hesitantly responds. "Just thinking."

"Don't hurt yourself," Daichi chuckled, which caused the other crew mates to laugh. Ennoshita seemed more on edge, though.

"Hey!!"

<•King Shuichi Hinata•>

"Your majesty! We're being invaded!" A guard ran in, breathless. "It's Ushijima! And we can't find Prince Shouyou!"

"What?! That selfish fool!" Shuichi growled. Then, the guard got stabbed from behind and fell to the floor. Thump!

There was a group of people from the land Shiratorizawa behind the guard, with Ushijima at the front with a bloodied sword. "Your majesty, your life ends today."

Shuichi took out his own sword, and started to walk towards Ushijima with a glare. "You're an arrogant fool, Ushijima."

"I already killed Queen Kaede."

With that sentence alone, Shuichi froze up. "You.. Y-You killed Kaede?!"

"She was getting in the way, and so are you."

Still shaken up, Shuichi couldn't block Ushijima's sword from going straight through his chest. The king fell to his knees and fell over, spitting out blood before dying. Blood spilled out from the wound.
