 "A Pirate ship recently docked in Ethon. The whole ship was hauled away by the mafia after the crew refused to pay their docking tax; it appears as if they have since dispersed, and many of them have already moved on to the other ships for work. However, there are two in particular who seem to be stuck here, waiting for the cash to reclaim their ship...." - Xenia's diary, November 5th, [ Year illegible. ]

"Oi, oi, oi! So, does this mansion have any pretty ladies?!"
A boisterous red haired man shouted loudly as he trailed after Xenos, the advisor of the local mafia family. The demon just rolled his eyes in disgust at the rowdy pirate and eyed his calmer comrade. The silver haired man had strolled along silently and hadn't said a word since their ship had been taken. Stupid mongrels... why can't they just leave town already? The fallen angel thought angrily as he stopped in front of Mariana's mansion. I hope she can forgive me for this... He pressed the door bell anxiously.
"Ooooh! This chick is rich? Huh? Huh?"
The pirate chattered on and on.

Koitsumi opened the door and bowed once she saw Xenos. "Welcome back, Master Xenos. Please come in." She gracefully stepped aside for the men to enter the home. "Miss Mariana is in the garden with her sisters."

Xenos nodded and briskly walked to the garden, half dragging the loud pirate behind him as the man attempted to get back to the maid. The red head whistled loudly at the woman as he was dragged away, only to be silenced by a firm smack to the head by his companion. As the men entered the garden Xenos loosened his grip on the boy's ear.
"Mariana?"
He said tensely.

Mariana looked up from her table at Xenos. She was sitting at a white, intricately designed outdoor table at the entrance of her maze. Sitting beside her were Armelia, and two other girls that Xenos had never seen. Mariana smiled happily and stood from her chair. "Xenos, these are my two older sisters, Lillian and Elizabeth."
Elizabeth was facing straight across from Lillian and looking at Xenos from the corners of eyes. She had a dull, yet dangerous look in her eyes as she looked at the man who stole her sister's heart.
Lillian turned and looked at the newcomers with a smile on her lips. "It's nice to meet you. Our sister has spoken much about you."
Armelia had her arms crossed on the table and her head on her arms as she adorned a sleepy expression. "Heya Xenos..."
Mariana glanced at Armelia from the corner of her eye. "Armelia is still tired-she was never a morning person."

"Hello ladies. Mariana, my dear, I have something to ask of you..."
Xenos nodded respectfully and gestured to the two pirates who now stood shoulder to shoulder behind him. The red head had a very happy expression painted across his face, and the silver haired boy looked unimpressed. Xenos scowled at the two before glancing back at his lover.
"Will you PLEASE give these two a place to stay?"

Mariana looked at the two pirates for a moment before smiling again at Xenos. "Of course. You know my home is always open to everyone."
Elizabeth made a small noise of disapproval in but said nothing.
Lillian nudged Elizabeth and sat quietly while she poked Armelia awake.

"Thank God!"
Xenos sighed in relief, and prodded the two men to step forward and introduce themselves. The red head flashed a sparkling smile at the woman as he took on a cocky pose.
"Hello laaaadies! My name is Seth!"
The silver haired man nudged his companion's side. Seth glanced back at him, suddenly remembering he wasn't alone.
"Oh, and this is Jacob."

Mariana seemed speechless at Seth's outburst for a moment until Armelia was woken up from Seth's greeting.
Armelia jumped up and pointed at Seth. "Congratulations for waking me up! Your prize is breakfast!"
Lillian laughed at the little scene. "It seems our stay here shall be interesting.
This time Elizabeth turned her head to analyze both men. She glared at Seth. "If you touch my sisters you will die a very painful death."

Seth stuttered, speechless at what the woman was proposing. How would he survive in this house, with this look but don't touch rule?! He let out a depressed wail as he collapsed on his knees. Jacob watched on, obviously bemused by his friend's pain. Xenos scowled at the ridiculous pair. How disgusting!
"I apologize for them."
He muttered sourly.

Lillian laughed more as Mariana put a hand on her hip and chuckled. "I've had worse people stay here. It's nice of you to bring them here."
At Seth's misery Elizabeth let out a small smile and chuckle and began to drink her tea.
Armelia smiled and swished her tail. "Ah, don't worry, Seth. I'm sure you'll live. Unless you have a disease in which you must hug a woman every five minutes to survive. Then it's just funny."

Xenos raised an eyebrow and took a seat.
"You see, these two are pirates. They just got their ship confiscated..."
He said as he watched Seth's pity party. Jacob took a seat on the kneeling man's back as he pulled a flask from a coat pocket and took a sip.

Mariana nodded. "That's sad. I remember Elizabeth used to run a few pirate ships when she was younger. She still has the boats, I believe."
Elizabeth lifted her head in thought. "Ever since I created the mafia I haven't had a great need for them. I should probably destroy them..."

"They didn't pay the docking tax or anything, so its their own fault. Most of their crew has already 'abandoned ship'.
Xenos muttered as he fussed with his slicked back hair. Seth finally stood up, throwing Jacob off of his back, with a mighty roar. The red haired man stopped with a content smile as he took a seat next to Xenos. Jacob soon followed.
"Seth... your an idiot..."
Jacob muttered calmly as he brushed dirt off of his clothes.

Oak sat on the dock, staring out at the ship that was recently confiscated. She felt a sharp stab of pain and looked down, blood,
"I should have known I'd cut myself if I looked away. . ."
She returned the dagger unsheathed to her leg and started to look at the damage done by it.
