Welcome to Gaia! ::

(???)

Mean while in the open waters of the Fire country mist began to take place of the area and appeared even on part of the beach. A large ship that seemed to have came from the south was heading up to the northern areas of the region. A flag at the top of the sails had a mist symbol indicating where they came from.The was a very large sail boat that could carry about two hundred people aboard. Only a few men that looked like thugs were on the deck patrolling, and the rest were probably down in side.

On the deck however had a room that was right above where the stearing of the ship took place. The lights seemed to be on as well which meant the some one was obviously in there.

One of the crew members that was aboard the ship came above from one of the lower levels of the ship and walked on the deck heading for the room with the lights on. The man softly knocked on the door and waited for the reply to enter.

"Come!" said a deep dark voice from inside the room.

The crew member opened the door and entered. He looked around the room to find pictures and other extremely rare antiques. Candles were lit at every corner of the room and from all the rest of the items in the room made it seem that the entire room was just for a man that was rich and collected many things. The man the took his attention to a desk that was at the back wall of the room. A chair was placed behind the desk along with a shadow figure sitting there."Sir it will take more time to reach the destination to Sound country. We seem to only be half way there."

From what the shadow figure seemed to look like, he had a his eyes closed and a large hat with a feather on. The rest of the the figure was to hard to determine due to the fact that he was shrouded in darkness. "Very well. I'm sure that Orochimaru can wait for a while longer. No need to rush anything." The figure opened his right eye which was visable and looked at the crew member.

"Yes sir I understand." The man nodded and left the room seeming scared and nervous.

"Orochimaru. What are your next plans of chaos do you have for me." The dark figure said and then closed his right eye.

(???)

The ship still seemed to be quiet with only few crew on top patrolling the deck. One of the men was carrying a barrel and went down to the lower floors to put it in the storage room.

"So what's are next objective?" One of the men aboard asked while starring out at sea.

"Who knows. After that last little battle we had I think we're just heading up to Sound and hoping that we can make more profit from Orochimaru. Really I'm just happy that we patched up tha whole in the ship. You know how the captain gets." One of the men said while scrubbing the deck.

"No I don't think I do." The man walked over and to the left side of the ship where the beach is. "It's so dang boring patrolling when know ones around."

The crew member that was stearing the ship snickered at the man. "Don't worry we'll be heading into parts of the ocean of where Water country patrols. We'll be trying dodge them for the facts that were criminals there."

(???)

The man that was patrolling the deck saw a girl that was running towards the ship and got a confused look on his face. "Now what do we have here?" The man took out a whistle and then blew it making a very loud screeching noise.

Men jumped out of the lower levels of the ship and on to the top. Every single one of them looked at the girl that was running on the water towards them. "What is this girl stupid. Hey make the ship go faster and see how fast she can go." The ship started to moving at fast speed and all them crew members began laughing while watching her run.

(???)

"So you want to fight? Fine we'll all fight!" The pirates that were aboard the ship grew cold, harsh, and angry. They each grabbed for their swords and lunged at the girl.

mean while inside the room. The captains right eye opened and while in the darkness of his room and noticed the exlposion. "What's going on with my ship I wonder. Probably the men found some one to play with."

(???)

"Enough!" The large gust of cold wind blew through out the entire area making the entire ship sway more then what the explosions were doing. The wind came from the room of which became open. "I've had enough explosions for one day." The man that was the captian was of course dressed with a large hat with the mist symbol on it with a feather attached. He also wore a large black trench coat with white gloves and large black boots.

"The crew members stopped suddenly while lunging for the girl. They saw that the fire that came from the explosions on the ship had suddenly vansished. "Captain Rakusa sir!"

"I'm sorry but I get cold and angry very easily girl. But tell me one thing before I kill you." The captain smiled with his white mustache going up with the smile. "Why is it that you are attacking us?We have no bussiness with you."

(Rakusa)

The captain smiled even bigger and then snapped his fingers to one of the lackies that were staring at the two talk. "I'm afraid I can't answer that you see."

One of the men quickly ran over to Captain Rakusa and handed him a small plate with a small cup filled with tea on it. "Here you are sir." The lacky said and quickly ran back over to the others. Most of them were just laughing at the sight of the girl that was talking to the captain.

Once the captain got his tea he began to drink it just slightly and then put it back on the small tea plate. "You simply havn't answered the question that I gave you. So in other words you won't get anything out of my unless you answer what was first given to you." The captain again drank a small amount of tea and smiled even greater only the smile didn't seem very evil at all. It almost seemed like he was happy and content with himself and nothing in the world would make him happier. "Now this is some fine tea don't you agree," the captain said addressing the crew.

All the crew members simply nodded in a happy yet nervous look on their faces to the captain.

(Rakusa)

Captain Rakusa laughed just for a second and walked up close to the girl. "Now now my young lady. I don't think that every pirate in this entire world is evil." The captain once again took a a tiny sip of the tea and put his hand on the girl solder. "Now back to the question that you ask. Umm let me see how should I say it."

The captian took his hand off the girl and scratched his head trying to think of the right things to say. "We're simply traveling to an upper country for bussiness. Now as you can see there's nothing wrong here. So I'll be nice by not killing you and letting you go." The captian walked back towards the direction of his room still sipping the fine tea that was made for him.
