Sail On!: Chapter 5



It was a day since the White Scarf Pirates finally found Aisa Himegami, but instead of one new member, they now had aboard their ship two bounty hunters, a young girl, and a reluctant red-head who had no intention of joining their crew.

Sid: (Sitting cross-legged on the deck of their ship, in front of Maya and Jill.) So you two are sisters?

Maya: Yes, and I still can't thank you enough for helping Jill. First Stein and now Jill. I owe you alot.

Aisa: (Standing over then, bandages on her bruises, dressed in a simple white blouse and black skirt.) Well he was the one who beat up Stein in the first place, so don't thank him for that.

Sid: Hey, whose team are you on?

Aisa: Not yours.

Sid: Hmph, well don't forget, he beat you up first.

Aisa: (Completely ignoring this last statement, simply refusing to ever having participated in a fight, much less loosing it, and simply stared at him.)

Sid: (Pointing a finger at her.) You lost to him, remember, that's why I beat him up. Hey, don't look away. Hey, where are you going, I'm talking to you. Argh.

''Jill giggles as Sid gets to his feet and begins following his cousin, trying to force her to admit to having lost to Stein. Sid's place is in turn taken by Ayane, who hands a glass full of a cool to both sisters.''

Ayane: So Jill, who exactly were you running from? Who were these bad people you were talking about?

Both Jill and Maya begin talking simultaneously.

Maya: Oh, its nothing, just her imagination.

Jill: They are agents of the World Government, they want to poke needles into me and run weird experiments on me.

Maya: Jill!

Jill: What, that's what Stein said.

Maya: Not that, I told you to keep it a secret, you can't just go telling anyone about this.

Jill: But they are our friends. Sid promised he would protect me.

''Sid stops trying to pull Aisa out of the cabin she was trying to enter as he hears Jill mention his name. Aisa takes this momentary lapse in concentration in his part to kick him in the stomach, sending him flying backwards.''

Sid: (Getting up and settling down on the floor once more and turns to the three seated females with a wide smile on his face.) That's right, don't you worry. I'll beat up anyone who tries to hurt you.
