Ice Heart

Captain Gi-Gan

My body felt hot and I couldn't open my eyes something cold and damp was on my forehead, my body was shaking. I could hear voices but they were far away, it was a woman and a Men. 'this Aura. . . It's like him. . . He must be. . .' I couldn't think clearly. I wasn't really sleeping but I wasn't awake either, 'i must have lost consciousness at the pier' the Voices became more clear and I could here what they were saying

„who is this Woman?"

„She was at the pier and fighting Kum-Ji, I can't quite put my finger on it but I could feel that she wasn't human"

„Thats obvious."

„I thought that if we could recruit her she would be good for the crew, with her strength."

„Is that really the only reason? I know you to well"

„yes you do, and she sure is beautiful. But there is something else about her that makes me curious "

„i never saw you so interested in girl before. . . We will take care of her until she wakes up and then we will see what we will do"

I slowly opened my eyes but I couldn't see clear, my vision was blurry.

„where . . . Am I?"

„dont worry your save, go back to sleep and rest"

The Woman said and I saw someone with Green hair and I was sure for moment that it was him, but I must have been hallucinating.

„Shu-Ten. . ."

But before I could say more I lost consciousness again and fall into a deep dreamless sleep. As my eyes open again it took some time for my vision to focus again but as they did I looked around an found myself in a strange room, it looked like a cabin on a ship. I set up and something fall from my forehead into my lap, it was a damp towel. My head ached and I placed my head in my hands

„Shit this hurt"

This must be a side effect from me using the Shadow Power, I heared the Door open and automatically grabbed behind my head to take the hood but then I realized that I wasn't wearing my cloth. I was just in my Bra top and pants, I covered myself with the blanket and looked to the Door.

„your finally awake that's good to see, how are you feeling Child?"

An older Woman was standing there with a pipe in her hand, she closed the Door and walked over to the Bed. She set down on the edge of the Bed and placed one Hand on my forehead, her hand was warm and gently, this felt kind of strange.

„So are you going to answer me or have you lost your tongue?"

She looked at me and didn't said a word about my ears, she was talking like she would to a normal person.

„Whats your name Child?"

„thats not important, but even if it is. Isn't it politely to introduce yourself before asking about my name?"

„Your naughty, you remind me of me as I was in your age"

'oh please, you would never even be in my age Grandma'

„My Name is Captain Gi-Gan, your on my Ship because one of my Crew members saved your feisty ass after your meeting with Yang Kum-Ji. You had a really high fever and slept for two nights and three days, what happened to you?"

„Im thankful for your Help Ma'am but please don't be offended if I won't introduce myself, I was on a journey with a few . . . People and left them after a while. I played with a Troup of the fire tribe and got beaten up, I didn't slept in a few days or weeks, I don't know. I had no money and as I found this town I looked for a job to earn Money, I helped a Fisher and his Crew and saw one of the Men got kicked in the ground by this bastard Kum-Ji. I couldn't just walk away and let him die maybe, I had to do something. I saw enough suffering and death in my life and never want to see this again, I thank you for your help but I need to leave."

I searched for my cloth and found them on a chair, I stood up without thinking and walked over to the chair to get dressed.

„What is your plan after you left my ship? And how do you plan to repay me for the medicine I gave you?"

„I already said I'm very thankful but I never asked for your help, so I don't have to repay you because it was your decision to give me the medicine "

„Thats not the point, I gave a bed, medicine and looked after your wounds. Even if you didn't asked for it, I saved your life and so your in my Dept."

I clenched my hands into fists and looked down, I hated it to be in Dept. This means to be bound to a person, I felt free as I felt Yona and was finally free again. And now I was boy d to this old Lady and her Crew, was it my destiny to be bound to someone and never be free again?

„fine so what is it you want from me?"

„Join my Crew and Help me take down Yang Kum-Ji, I could need someone with your strength and your abilities."

I grinned and walked over to her, leaning down and looking in her eyes

„So you know what I am, and your not afraid of me Grandma?"

„Dont make me laugh, yes I know what you are, I read legends about your race but I never thought that they would be true. And if you call me Grandma again then I will put a hole into your beautiful Body"

In a quick move she pointed her gun at me, I jumped back and crouched down in a fighting position and hissed at her.

„So what do you say, will you help me"

She placed her gun into her holster and walked over to me, she holds her hand out to me. I thought about my options but I had planned to take down this bastard to so maybe this was my best option, I stood up again and looked at her.

„Okay fine, I will stay and help you take him down. But as soon as this is over I will leave you Crew, your Ship and this Town."
