Konnichiwa! My name is Ditox-chan and I am 14 years old. This is my SECOND fanfiction (I was inspired to write a second one by my best IRL friend Lendra-chan) but my first is definitely not done and I'd love if you went to read it (both are being updated at the same time. ;)
A better summary, hopefully you'll get hooked— A girl named Kaoru is held on a police ship against her will, being forced to get married to the man of her nightmares. When the ship is unexpectedly shot down by a second clan of infamous pirates known worldwide, Kaoru "accidently" survives and is taken aboard the famous pirate ship. The captain is the infamous Himura Kenshin, a pirate of 28 with a fierce attitude and an even wilder tail. Held there against her will, Kaoru is forced to bargain with the pirates for her own life, but soon realizes she's fallen in love with one of the most despicable pirates known to man.
Due to his overwhelming amount of popularity with the officials, Kenshin's ship constantly swerves its directions to avoid the local officers swarming behind them at all times, led by the deadly Makoto Shishio and assisted by the ruthless Seta Soujiro. Kenshin detests combat at all costs, only allowing himself to sink ships when it is done for good (but his crew often compains). His quest is only to find the legendary Morika Cove, where a secret awaits him and an even larger threat prevails. How will Kenshin and Kaoru survive these threats constantly while guarding their own secrets hidden away in their hearts?
Yep.. that's the summary. Enjoy. Please read "Return to Sender," my first (unfinished) fanfiction as well! Reviewing every chapter you read will also make me love you so yeah TT; This story is set somewhere in the past with no computers and stuff... yeah. XD Welcome to Sanctifying Rogues!
Sunlight - brightening the morning sky, immersing the seas with its lively flavor. It has no limits to where its joy can reach, illuminating the world without worry or fear. Legends say a god above us looms in the sun. They say her only wish is to keep the happiness and life in our world and brighten our days. Legend also predicts that the sun god gets weary of the same scenery too and eventually has to move to a different place, the opposite side of the planet.
The legends also murmured that a god resides in the moon as well – the opposite personality of the sun god. He is a ruthless being, allowing the world to turn to disgust and toil for the evening and night and keeping his light from some of the most needy places. The people turn to evil during the night because the sun is no longer watching them to punish them with her heavenly light. The moon will only watch and cackle away in his domain until forced from his position again by the sun.
It was one of the darkest nights of the year, when the moon refused to shine. This night had the most terrible consequences. They say that the ocean is one of the most beautiful places on earth – but they never realized that the people residing on those waters were not beautiful at all.
"It's a beautiful night, isn't it, my love?" The sinister white-haired man, pulling his pipe from his mouth a brief moment before glancing over his shoulder at the silent girl standing against a pole. The woman glared at him uneasily, fighting with the rope tied around her palms desperately. The man studied her a moment before snickering deviously and stepping solemnly to her and seizing her chin, pulling it close to his face and sneered. "Don't resist, Kaoru. There's nowhere to escape on a boat – unless you're pondering suicide. I'm not that bad, am I?"
She gritted her teeth and pulled her face from his grasp, glaring off to the side silently, hampering back the tears that yearned to fall. The man continued, straightening his sunglasses, "You have no choice but to get married to me, Kaoru. Nobody wants you back in that town. Why so reluctant to stay with the police corps? You'll be so happy here, with me." He began to cackle and walk away, still smoking his pipe contently.
Kaoru fell to her knees, still trying to free herself from the rope tied around her wrists behind her back. She was still dressed in rags, only to be properly clothed once she was married against her will to Yukishiro Enishi, the man she had feared her entire life and the top of the police. She had been wandering the streets of her home town, Latsia, when he had spotted her and ruthlessly dragged her aboard because of her beauty. But she had never been in a wealthy family – no, she had lived on the streets all her life.
At that time Kaoru yearned only to go back to her home in the alleys. She detested the police for their ruggedness and their lack of respect. They paid respect only to Yukishiro, but to Kaoru they were nasty and cruel. She did not want to die – she wanted to jump from the ship and swim to a shore somewhere, if only she could untie the rope.
In the darkness shone about 3 lanterns, spread out among the ship to illuminate it. Kaoru was allowed nowhere but on deck, when all the others had gone inside the ship to gamble and drink. The girl was capable of escaping the ship, but Enishi had tied the ropes on her wrists so tight that they burned every time she moved.
Her struggle to free herself abruptly ceased when the distant dinging of a low bell sounded over the seas. She glanced up curiously, scanning the dark and lonely waters for any sign of life. She saw nothing but the darkness – until she squinted her eyes just a little and saw a faint light in the distance. Started, she sat up straight against the pole and fussed with the rope even more desperately, watching the light grow larger and brighter every second. It was approaching at a fast rate – another boat.
She heard flapping and looked up above the light – a clear, black flag blew strongly in the wind, with crossbones declared on it simply. She hampered her terror, struggling onto her feet as the waves began to rock the boat harder. The drunken shouts of the officers in the ship did not soften – they did not know yet. She feared for her life – pirates! Pirates were approaching – when it was they who should be seeking the pirates. Kaoru whimpered quietly to herself, fighting with the rope worriedly as the shouts from downstairs only became more vibrant and loud. If nobody noticed that ship soon, they were going to die.
Kaoru did not want to save this ship and its miserable officers – she only wanted to escape her bondage. They had not treated her fairly enough to have gained her trust – how such despicable men could become protectors of the law, she couldn't imagine. They were as ruthless as any group of pirate, using their titles as police officers as an excuse to show off and hunt pirates down and gain large amounts of money. Kaoru felt nothing but hatred towards the crew and would've been glad to swim miles to shore if it meant never seeing Yukishiro Enishi again.
She heard shouts rising from the pirate ship – her eyes widening as she laid eyes on the crew members loading the cannon balls. One or two stood with a knife clenched between his teeth, another pulling a dagger from a wooden pole where it had been embedded for several days. Some stood at the edge of the deck, facing the police ship as it neared, ready to hop aboard and slay whomever got in their way. Cackles arose from all directions.
Kaoru refused to scream or cry. She suddenly brought her hands up to her face, pausing a moment to look at the rope slipping off her wrists and her scratchy, red skin. She did not take the time to computate on how she had freed herself without thinking, immediately scrambling to her feet and backing away. She had to escape alive. But how?
A sudden blow to the ship caused her to fall backward, arms instantly wrapping around the wooden pole to keep her position. She could hear rushing water flowing into the ship as it immediately began to gradually lower. Cheers rose from the pirate ship in support for the cannon ball that had been shot. Drunken crew members staggered onto the deck with swords and clubs, ready to fend off the pirates. Enishi was the only one who appeared completely clear-minded, looking very aggravated and took no attention to Kaoru, who was clinging to the pole for dear life.
A second cannon ball was sent into the ship, causing it to sink even faster. The waves thrashed against the wooden boards, sending many of the drunken, wobbly crew overboard and others sent clinging to doors and barrels. The ship was sinking. Pirates were jumping aboard, slashing away at the police and cackling ruthlessly. Kaoru's face went white at the sight of so much bloodshed and fear and slowly, she blacked out.
