The Pirate's Treasure!

Chapter 1: Ahoy Ship!

Disclaimer: Arrr ye mateys! I don't any characters from Gundam Seed or DESTINY, but my imagination is to be credited for this story concept and plot! I am not trying to be a copy-cat, I've just been readin' some pirate and sailor stories and couldn't help meself! (Talking like a pirate). Also the accents are English, so I hope you enjoy!

Kira Yamato strode out onto the deck of his ship the Freedom and looked out over the sea. It was beautiful; the sun's rays seemed to dance across the blue water as a light breeze carried them on toward their destination.

Another young man came up beside him and said quietly, "It's beautiful out 'ere today, don't you think, Sir?"

"Haven't I told you not to call me 'Sir' when we're talking, Athrun?" Kira said.

Athrun gave a sheepish grin and said, "Sorry Kira, I just can't get over the fact that ye were made Cap'n." Athrun said.

The brunette chuckled, "I know me neither, but 'tis what it is, how far away are we from ORB?" he asked.

"About a day away, what are we going to do when we make port?" Athrun said.

"We'll make some repairs to the ship, get some food and rum, and have a little fun at the taverns." Kira grinned. Athrun grinned as well.

Just then, a raven-haired boy of about 16 came up to them both. "What'cha talkin' 'bout?" he asked them.

"What we're gonna do when we reach ORB." Kira told him.

"Ooo! Can I come along? Please!" the boy pleaded, his red eyes glowing with hope.

Kira and Athrun both chuckled and Athrun put the boy in a headlock and roughed up his hair, "Of course ye can come, lad! There's much mischief to be had in ORB and you're sure goin' t' be the center of it! Plus, there will be lots o' lovely ladies of which you can become a man with!" he joked.

"I was asking Cap'n Kira, Athrun!" the boy said but still grinned as he got out of Athrun's head lock.

"Yes, Shinn, you can come along, only Dearka and Mwu are staying to guard the ship on account of the trouble they started last time we made port." Kira said.

"Thanks Cap'n!" Shinn said. "Hey! How come I have to stay and guard the ship with Mwu?" Dearka called out as he walked over to them.

"Because you almost got us hanged in Helioplolis! You and Mwu will stand and guard the ship and if you're good lads then ye can go out to port next time!" Kira told him.

Dearka pouted but didn't argue any more. "And you can pass the news to Mwu as well." Kira said and Dearka nodded and went in search of La Flaga-san.

"Well don't you feel special, Shinn?" Athrun said and grinned.

"Well I am!" Shinn sneered and Kira chuckled and ruffled his hair as he went over to the starboard side.

"How's the patchwork comin', Rey?" Kira asked the blonde who was working on fixing a hole on deck.

"Not too good, Cap'n, we need to make port soon or else we ain't goin' t' make it!" Rey says.

"Aye, one more day and we'll make port in ORB, and ye can find a good carpenter there." Kira said and Rey nodded.

"Sir!" Nicol called as he ran up to Kira. He turned around to wait for the green-headed boy to catch up to him.

"What is it, Nicol?" he asked.

Nicol was panting as he told Kira that some sharks have been following the ship ever since they had the fight with a Zaft ship that blasted the hole in the deck. Kira went over to the edge and sure enough some big black sharks were just 10 feet away from the rudder at the end.

"Thanks for telling me, Nicol, but tomorrow we will make port in Orb and repair the ship, restock on food and drink, and have some fun while we're at it." Kira told him.

"Aye, aye, Sir!" Nicol said and was about to leave but Kira stopped him. "Please Nicol, call me Kira." And smiled as Nicol grinned sheepishly and went off.

"So Shinn, since you've no lass at home, are ye goin' t' try and find one in ORB?" Athrun asked him.

"I dunno, maybe." Shinn said and blushed.

"Awww, the runt is blushing!" Yzak teased as he came up beside Shinn.

"I'm no runt! I'm almost as tall as you!" Shinn snapped.

"Relax, sheesh, I was just messin' with ya lad!" Yzak said and Athrun chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah, just because I'm the youngest don't mean ye can always call me 'runt' and such as I know ya do!" Shinn told him, his crimson eyes warning the older boy.

"Aye, but that's the fun of it, ain't it true Athrun?" Yzak said.

"Aye, Shinn, ye might as well accept it!" Athrun said and slapped him on the back as he went with Yzak somewhere.

Shinn sent them an icy glare but then sighed and looked out over the sea.

"Don't let 'em bother you, my boy, they're just jealous because you're the youngest and the ladies all flock to you when we make port." Kira said coming beside Shinn.

Shinn blushed and said thanks and they continued to stare out over the ocean.

The next day…

"Land ho!" Shinn called from the Crow's Nest.

"Alright you bloody pirates! Prepare to make port!" Kira said and started shouting orders as everyone scrambled around on the deck to get ready to dock.

A crowd forms on the dock as they see the mighty Freedom come in with the Jolly Roger waving in the breeze.

Athrun looked over at the dock and spotted a certain blonde and called out to Kira, "Hey look! It's your sister!" and Kira came over to the side and smiled as he saw his sister waving, standing beside her was another girl whom he didn't recognize.

She had long pink hair and a beautiful white dress on, and he would've kept staring at her if Athrun didn't shake him and tell him to go boss his men around. Kira blushed and ran off to give more orders as Athrun chuckled to himself, shaking his head.

When they're docked at the harbor Kira is the first one off, followed by Athrun and Shinn, and Cagalli rushes up to him and hugs him tightly.

"I can't believe you actually did it!" she said when she let go.

"Yeah, no one can." He joked and they laughed. He noticed that the girl was standing beside Cagalli looking shy and Cagalli pulls her forward.

"Kira, this is Lacus, Lacus, this is my brother Kira Yamato, Captain of the Freedom!" she said introducing them. Kira took Lacus's hand and kissed it, making them both blush as Cagalli and Athrun also exchanged a greeting, Athrun being the gentleman that he was taking Cagalli's hand and kissing it as Kira did.

"Ahh, Shinn, how's life as a salty sea pirate?" Cagalli asked him.

Shinn blushed as he said, "It's ok, although SOME people keep calling me runt and other unappreciated comments!" Shinn said and when he said SOME he looked at Athrun who smirked and stuck his tongue out.

Cagalli chuckled and patted him on the back, "Aye, Shinn, you are the youngest so 'tis be expected! Don' worry though, my boy, for soon ye shall be 18 and a man!" she told him.

"So, Lacus, how did you come to know my sister?" Kira asked Lacus.

"Oh, well, we met at a tavern one night." Lacus said shyly in her sing-song voice.

"Aye, some men were givin' her a hard time so's I whacked 'em a good one I did! And we've been friends ever since!" Cagalli said.

"Oh, that's good of you to do Cags," Kira said calling his twin by her nickname.

"Awww, 'twas nothin' really." Cagalli said. Athrun chuckled and said, "So, Captain Kira, where to now?"

"You can go to a tavern; I'll find you after I talk to Rey." Kira said and Cagalli, Athrun, Shinn, and Lacus went off to a local tavern called Fish n' Rum.

Kira went towards the blonde who was talking with Yzak. "Hey, are you all set to get a carpenter?" he asked.

"Yeah, me and Yzak were gonna go and find one." Rey said.

"Ok, after that you can go do whatever you want, but we're all staying at the Wetside Inn, ok?" Kira told them.

"Aye, aye Cap'n!" they said and went on their way.

Kira spotted Dearka and Mwu talking to some local girls and shook his head as he came over to them.

"We've been here not 5 minutes and you're already talking to the local girls eh?" he said and surprised them. The girls stared at him in awe as they were just told that Dearka and Mwu were pirates under the command of Kira Yamato.

"Sorry Cap'n, we couldn't resist!" Dearka said with a sheepish grin.

Kira chuckled as the girls giggled and were batting their eyelashes. "'Tis fine boys, just make sure you keep an eye on my ship, or you'll be swinging in the gallows tonight." Kira threatened with a wicked grin as the girls gasped and the boys sweat-dropped.

"Aye, aye Sir!" they said and stumbled over each other to stand beside the gangplank of the ship as Kira howled with laughter.

The girls giggled again and one with long red hair stepped up to Kira and asked, "So you're Captain Kira of the Freedom?"

"Yep, what can I do for you?" Kira asked.

The other girl giggled as the red head batted her eyelashes and said seductively, "Well, what can I do for you?"

Kira blushed and said, "Oh, um," and was saved by Nicol as he came up and said, "Good news, Captain Kira! The sharks have gone!" and Kira could tell that Nicol came in just at the right moment on purpose and said, "Great! How's 'bout we join the others at the Fish n' Rum tavern?" and Nicol agreed.

"Goodbye ladies, and good day." He said briskly and headed for the tavern with Nicol.

The red head stared after him and whispered to her friend, "He's so cute! But he wasn't interested! I wonder if he already has a lass." And her friend said, "Well, why don't you go see?" and they both grinned as they, too, went towards the tavern.

In the tavern

"There you are Kira! I was starting to wonder if you'd ever come!" Cagalli said as he came in. he smiled and sat on the other side of her.

"We've already ordered, the rum should be arriving soon." Athrun told him.

"So Shinn, ready for your first pint o' rum?" Kira asked the young boy.

"Aye that I am." Shinn said. Then he saw two beautiful young girls enter the tavern and couldn't help but stare.

Nicol turned to where Shinn was staring and elbowed Kira. He turned to see the two girls he was just talking to.

"I wonder why they followed us." Kira said aloud.

"They probably like you." Athrun said and winked as they came over.

"Kira, or Captain Kira, I'm sorry if I offended you or made you uneasy, but my name is Fllay Allster." The red head said and extended her dainty small hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry I rushed off so quickly, come, sit with us, this 'ere's Nicol, Athrun, my sister Cagalli, her friend Lacus, and Shinn." Kira said introducing everyone. Fllay nodded and sat down and her friend came up and said, "And I'm Mia Campbell."

"Pleased to meet you." Kira said and she too sat down next to Fllay.

The girls looked from Kira to Nicol to Athrun to Shinn, deciding who they liked best. Mia smiled at Shinn and Fllay again batted her eyelashes at Kira, seeming to like the young and handsome Captain.
