As the wind blew threw Yume's hair...She saw how loneliness would be a huge enemy of hers on this journey.
After joining the crew...Someone was always around...
Sato was always around.

We could only guess this is why she couldn't say Goodbye.
Goodbye meant, Bye forever.
Yume just couldn't bring herself to that, and she could only hope that their fates would collide or intertwine.

Yume took a seat on the deck as she waved a hand and withdrew the anchor, slowly drifting from the port.

"HEY!!"
Yume quickly stood and looked over to see the familiar young boy running alongside the moving ship.

Tears mysteriously rimmed in her eyes as she waved.
"Go home!! Your mom'll freak!"

"I wanted to say goodbye!!" he yelled back.

Yume's tears spilled over as the boy threw over a bouquet of hand picked lilies.
A weak toss, they began to tumble as Yume leaped from the ship and dove for them before they hit the water.

She levitated up to the young boy. "It isn't goodbye...it's see you later..."
She whispered with her lips to his, her voice a lovely velvet tone as she kissed his lips once more, somewhat passionate as she floated back to the ship and continued to steer effortlessly with her mind alone.

Leaving the young boy standing where the land ended, a bright blush on his face, his hand frozen in his wave.

"See you later Kid..." Yume wiped away her tears roughly with her arm.
"Gotta make something out of this life of mine..."

as much as i hate to say this my crew is deteriorating peace by peace by now mutiny should be occurring. It pains me to ask but let me join your crew i'll stay out of your way and help out when possible but i will refuse to be bossed around seeing as were about the same level. Me having nothing left to loose if you decline my offer every ounce of energy i have to annihilate this ship and crew placing my hands on my katanas

Yume leaned back on a chair, defying gravity as she waved her hand mopping the deck.
"Aww this sucks...This means no sharing of chores! What have I gotten myself into...?" she sighed sleepily as something hit the front of the ship.
"W-What the...?!"
Yume jumped up and looked out spotting another ship from the military.

"This doesn't look too good..."
With a wave of her hand all of the cannons locked on the ship with perfect accuracy.
"I should play it off...Like my Captain is in his quarters...or else I could be taken advantage of..."

The Military ship stopped in the distance.
Now I wait for you to make a move...

In her head Yume planned out how to take the ship down, she just needed to make sure she wasn't being reckless by underestimating their abilities; she remembered how well that worked for her ex-Captain.

sighing deeply man not suited to be a captain much less a pirate oh welllooking down at my katanai hope you guys will forgive me for thispicking up my katanas i launch them over the side of the boat as they plummet into the water. shaking my head i look down and give a wave i"ll do some traveling settle down get a family walking calmly to the railing i drop a medium sized bag of gold make sure to come and find me when your pirate king i might use the spar to spice my life upwith my back turned i give a final wave and jump of the ship onto the mainland walking way with my hands in my pockets

laughing nervously as ryu-za takes offman i get chills when i see him it would be the fight of a lifetime but it would be bad to leave that crew with a badly wounded captain. shivering we would both be really messed up after that fight. oh well. taking off my over shirt i write a message to the crew if you guys loose track of what's important to you or what it means to be a pirate seek me out i'll continue my training for when the day comes :from a foolish captain take care

Date sighed and nodded , he was the only that could swim. He pinned his blades down three on each side of him. He dove into the water swimming , Hebi could take care of himself for now. If anything He would be back in time to finish off any marines.

Why is everyone so reckless ? BAh! First that girl gets into my mind , this captin has me swimming , that play thing of hebi has him blood drunk.

Getting to a good portion of the way down he saw the glimmering of the blades. He unleashed one of his two non blade techiniques. Dragon's breathe thrusting him down to the bottom as he grab the blades. He stood there he was running out of air, but still he enjoyed the quietness of the ocean. The stark beauty of silence is amazing.

Yume stared off as the Military's ship now cruised along her ship.
Her hand stayed to the side of her, one finger extended, as in one swift movement she could barrage them in endless ammo.

"Hold your fire..."
"What do you think I'm doing?" she sighed as the Captain of the Squadron arose to the side of their ship.
"We have a proposition for you...Seeing as you don't have a Captain..." he pointed to the flagless ship.
She mentally slapped herself in the forehead. Yume had overlooked that aspect.

"Don't be like the rest of the reckless pirates out there...You have a chance to make money...
Isn't that what people like you are after anyway...? Why not reach that with far less enemies...? You already know what to expect from fellow pirates...Why not have the Military behind you instead of against you...? Give it some thought...You seem like a smart girl. Here," he tossed a small bag of gold. "Take the non-reckless path...The path less traveled. Recruiting is taking effect on an island not too far-off from here. Make your decision, openings won't be available for much longer" he tilted his hat before leading off his ship, leaving Yume there to wallow in her thoughts.

She was more than considering it...

*~*Please Note: Previous post has been editted Mukasato is no longer in his true self he still is using his double personality*~*


Well, captain hasn't returned maybe he died.. Hopefully not though. I wonder what I should do everyone's just out and about doing their own thing.. Ah it should be quite fun to get a job! I'll get a job make my own special ship and wa-lah! Mukasato of the Seas! Hahaha... Ok maybe thats a bit too much but it still is a good thought.
Mukasato runs along finding some handy work he can do both on sky island and the island below that is now destroyed. on the island that is destroyed he works with a repairing crew who is there to repair the island and because of Mukasato's great ability to do hands-on work he easily gets promoted and earns more money quickly.

walking through the forest on the island having no over shirt i'm now in a plain white T. scratching my head in a confused way i stop walking and start to think. so the stress of being a captain is gone but the excitement with it as well. maybe that wasn't the best choice but I'll live with it no time to second guess my self i start walking towards the town again my hands on my head covered by my red hair. i stop abruptly as i hear a strange whistling sound as i listen closely i done in on where it's coming from and find a young boy practicing with a bow. He was about 4'6 with messy hair that spiked naturally. he grabbed 3 arrows and moved a strand of hair from in front of his face while squinting. As soon as the strand was gone from his face he pulled the line back and let loose arrow after arrow all landing in the same spot splitting the arrow that landed before the other as the strand moved back in front of his face he let go of the breath he was holding and sat down. rather impressed at the skill he had at his age he was no older than 13 ikio: boy that was rather impressive *walking out from where i was watching walking towards him i stop a couple of feet in front of him i see he is fidgeting rather uncomfortably* don't worry i won't hurt you tell me what is you name?
Boy: my name is James, why does this concern you who are you?
Ikio:*laughing abruptly* such vigor for such a young age your going to mature into a great man one day. my name is Ikio and well I'm and ex pirate *seeing the concerned look on James face as his hand tightened around his bow* don't worry I'm not here to hurt you in anyway tell me do you have an ambition?
James:* his eyes light up and show much intensity at the subject* i want to be a pirate and sail the seas with a crew i can call family, but i have to be strong enough to protect them first* standing up without moving the strand of hair he lets another arrow loose splitting another arrow. He looks over at me closing his eyes giving me a wide smile
Ikio: kid i like your determination and i believe you have potential to not just be a great pirate but a great person. i want to take you under my wing as my disciple * reaching a hand out i wait for his response*
James: * shaking my hand excitedly* you seem like a good person i trust you
Ikio: alright kid go grab the things you need from your house we leave tonight don't get caught *ruffling his hair before he takes of running

Yume turns around as she gives the small token from the military a toss. The coins chiming as they hit the floor.

"You're that Captain..." her eyes taking in his appearance. "Captain Ryu-za correct...?" she ran a hand through the back of her hair as it fell like a curtain onto her shoulders. Her weapon Namida hisses respectfully in admiration.

"What's the message...?"

Yume watched as Ryu flew off.
An unfamiliar feeling of warmth on her cheeks.
"My job will never change the dedication of my Heart...I won't lose myself to my decision..."

The ship began to resume it's course. It was time to resign from this life.
How far this island was...she didn't know...

Date held his breathe longer he felt the beauty was something he wanted. He yearned for... just a simple life, his eyes closed as he stood there somewhat floating drifting at the bottom. He let his air escape from his lips.

I'm weary of this fighting ... for what? Some young girl to die like a dog?Villages being destroy by a senseless powerhouse? THe warming embrace of the sea... how death seems like the best way out.

Date grinned as his eyes narrowed. He sheathed the katanas. He looked up his blood was pumping , this close to death would be a wake up call for him. He prepared to launch himself back up to the surface.

Death awaits those foolish enough to be entice by her slumber , those that stray for thier own path will see death. If i die now , Ryu is gonna die from lack of food. Hebi might get bored too ... Pffft Hebi in a swimsuit !?!? EWWW yuck! Why am i only one that can swim? Did i ever find my missing bomb ?

Somewgere on the island, a random theif was blown up. A family was spared , the futures changed . Landing on the boat breatheing heavily , he drop the katana's as he picked up his sheathing them. He ran his fingers thru his hair and looked at hebi pointing one of his swords at him.

Never send that image again... Ever...

"Wakai!" Yume called out to the young boy mopping the deck.
"We might have ourselves another catch soon, get ready" she smiled while licking some sugar from her finger as she unbuttoned the blouse of her military attire, fanning herself.

"Yes ma'am!" he blushed nervously as he continued cleaning.

After 5 years...
Yume had become the Staff Sergeant...
2nd in command.

Wakai; the young boy she once branded 5 years back was now recruited under her wing.
The perfect accessory to help aid her bounties.
He had eaten a fruit that Yume had confiscated during one of her hold-ups.
The Homura Fruit.

The Sea Shadow her new battle ship now roamed the familiar terrain.

"Just another day..." she sighed.
(See character profile for Wakai Koibito for info on the Homura Fruit)

*Mukasato continues his job as he now has a lot of money and makes his own ship made out of black steel that is equipped with cannons. By this time after the five years, the island below that was once destroyed is now restored and people can happily live on sky island or the island below. Mukasato appreciates the work he has done and now sets sail on his ship not knowing exactly where he'll go but he know for sure he can't stay on this island. It's not for him.
Ah, well i finished fixing up the island and now people can live on both islands as they please. Well i'll go back home if i can find it.. It's probably about the only place i can live in right now..

Ikioi:*working as a blacksmith the clink of metal against metal can be heard in his medium sized workshop located in the forest. Finishing another blade i set it in water to cool my blade have started getting pretty famous. Washing my hands i untie my hair letting it spread out on my back as it now is waist lenght. looking around.* where is that blasted disciple of mine
James:* waking from my afternoon nap in a tree i stretch and scratch my head realizing i didn't put my hair up before i slept it takes 15 minutes to fix my hair and the one sole strand never stays put. jumping from tree to tree i reach the zip line i set up a while back throwing cloth over it i glide down the line to the shop* sup pops i see you finished that new blade of yours *looking over at a picture of his wife and kid*
Ikioi:yea no thanks to you* looking up at the sky* there is an ominous wind about today boy keep on your toes i feel that something is going to happen today

Date was just about ready to finish shaving himself as the roar shook the island and he cut his lip. Leaving a noticeable scar he cursed loudly. But well using his swords to shave isn't something he should have done. He yawned and looked at his captain.

These years and i finally perfected my fighting style. But BAH im tired of collecting small bounties. My bounty has rose , but ehhh no one has came for me due to Ryu and Hebi being around. Which makes my life easier , i can lay back and sleep.

Ryu this may sound weird ... but can you not be such animal . Man i nearly done took off the right side of my lip. I wanna get a party started and have a good ole fashioned fight!!

Yume sways her finger in the air, this way and that as the ship cruises along the sea with rapid speed, but immensely swift.

"Ooh...looky Wakai..." she pointed. "I see a yummy ship in the distance..."
Wakai squints with his hand to his forehead, blocking the sun from his eyes as he nervously looks into the distance, the sea breeze rustling his spiky brown hair.

"I-I see it ma'am...looks like a catch,"
"Yes it does..." Yume analyzes the flag of the ship. "A mighty fine catch," she runs her fingers through the back of her hair as she caresses Namida and he grins widely while Yume begins thinking out a plan.

"I'm turning on the camou," she announces with a soft voice as the entire ship, and all it's contents have disappeared within thin air.

Hm, I have no idea where I'm going.. Maps don't help me find my homeland because it's not drawn on the map its an unknown island.. I'll probably be sailing forever..
*He sits back while taking out a bag of Seioubo and begins eating one after the other while he thinks where could his home island be. While he does so he notices a new island just up ahead however the shape of it doesn't fit to Mukasato's image of his home island so hed decides not to pay too much attention to it
