pirates life for me ( part one )
"Land HOOOOOO!!"

Captain Kitsune walked out onto her main deck to see the beautiful butterfly Islands. The mist of the ocean fell upon her, and she took it in with a smile on her face.

"I'd say it's a good day to dump a body, wouldn't you agree captain?"

Kitsune opened her eyes to see Aren standing before her, sly smirk on her face.

"It's a shame really, that we won't get much time to explore. What is the update on our low life prisoner?"

"Kitsune, you amuse me so. You can stay as long as you like, you are the captain after all. She is irritated, and asking to speak to you."

"Well, we may have to set anchor for a while. Come Aren. Let's go grant her one last wish.
Kitsune and Aren made their way to the prison hold. There she was. Her chains sat on the floor, she was filthy and bruised from the shackles. Iris had a bounty on her head. 10,000 gold pieces, but all the gold wasn't enough to kitsune. Iris was once part of the crew. But she desired to be captain of the ship, so she backstabbed Kitsune. She told lie after lie, and sold kitsunes secrets in hopes it would ruin her. But Kitsune, was not an average woman. She was after all part goddess.

"Let me out of here, let's talk about this. It's not what you think Kitsune."
Iris's voice was full of worry and panic. She was unsure what was going to happen to her.
Kitsune stepped into the cell slowly and Drew a dagger from her holster that was fit perfectly to her thigh.

"Here is what's going to happen Iris. You're not going to say another damn word unless I give you permission. Speak out of turn, and I'll cut your tongue out of your filthy mouth. Understood?"
Kitsune put the dagger slowly to her face and traced it down her face and stopped at her mouth. She let it linger there and let her green eyes Pierce into Iris's soul.

"Who did you tell?"
"I told you, I didn't tell anyone, I was trying to get them off your trail!"
Kitsune took her dagger and quickly sliced across her face.
"Last chance, who did you tell?"
" Anyone that would pay me enough".
Kitsune looked to Aren and saw a look of seething in Arens face. If this was true, kitsune would be the most wanted pirate on the sea, and potentially lose everything.
"Aren, clip her wings. Then meet me in my quarters."
Aren smiled wide and shook her head yes. Iris started to plead and cry, because she knew what was about to happen. Aren was to break her arms, so she couldn't swim after she walked the plank.

There was a knock on the door and kitsune spoke in a soft voice
"Come in, Aren."
Aren entered the room quickly and quietly.
"Kitsune, are you alright? I can sense... Stress within you."
"I am worried yes. But, it will pass as does everything in this life. Your hands, Aren!"
Kitsune took Arens hands and looked at them. They were bloody and bruised.
"Do not fret over me. That is simply what karma looks like when you take it into your own hands. I will do what I can, to protect you kitsune. Even though you don't need me to. You don't need me, but I desire to always be apart of your adventure."
Kitsune smiled sweetly and lightly kissed Arens hands.
"Thank you Aren. I..."
Aren put a hand to kitsunes mouth and smiled gently. She leaned in and placed a small kiss on kitsunes lips.
"Come, let's take care of this burden so you may enjoy these islands of paradise."
Aren turned and left, leaving Kitsune to smile and sigh quietly. She was about to get rid of one of her burdens and she couldn't wait.
