Loved chapter 5 and the references to Pirates of the Caribbean! (Depp was the king in that film...)

Ooh... I get first introduction AND I'm first mate? You're too kind, Hoku. Can't wait to see what happens!

[Blayze]

I've never seen PotC, so I have no idea what the reference is

But damn, this is gonna kick ass!

Perhaps post it on FF, FP or MM, Lloyd

Chapter 7: The Crew (Gunner & Recon)
Subtitle: The Kakashi Sisters, SharinganK & Alpha

I didn't remember just how much I drank last night, but I found myself lying on the ground and my head pounding. I believe it was the gentle touch of a girl that woke me. She knelt down by my side and put a hand onto my shoulder.

"Uh-umm ... are you okay?"

I slowly got up trying to push myself off the ground, and she helped me sit up. I placed a hand to my head and tried to focus my eyes.

"Uugghh ... where am I? How did I get here ..."

As my eyes focused, I saw before me a young girl, possibly a few years younger than me. She had a meek and kind face about her as she was checking for any bleeding.

"Don't I know you?"

"N-no. Y-you just happened to have dropped right here in front of my home."

I shook my head and she helped me stand up. I brushed off myself, and looked around to get a feel of where I might have ended up. Although I couldn't really concentrate with this hangover.

"Bah! Damn you paul and your jagerbombs." I spoke to myself.

The girl seemed a little confued herself as I was talking to myself. I tried to take a step forward and stumbled slightly. She came to my aid, and took me off to the side to sit down on a bench for a bit.

"You're in the Arts Sector of NT. I just moved here as well, I'm sort of an artist myself, although I'm still learning."

Her voice was very soothing and quiet, I felt at peace for those few moments. Then I reached into my pockets to pull out some medicine and I asked her for some water. She got up rather quickly and moved into her home to bring me a glass of water. I thanked her, and took my hangover medicine. I sat there for a good minute to let the medicine work it's magic. The girl looked at me as I just sat there quietly without moving. Just then her tone of voice changed as if she were spooked.

"O-oh no! You have to go! Now!"

She meekly pushed me off and tried to brush me away. I didn't understand what had gotten into her all of a sudden. And naturally I felt concern ...

"Is something wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"No ... but you must leave quickly!"

"I have yet to learn your name, but thank you."

I didn't want to cause anymore trouble for her, so I just decided to leave. As I walked away I saw that another woman, possibly her mother had just returned home. From my distance it looked as if the girl was being shouted at and being put down. I wanted to return to help her, but I thought that it would not be my place to interfere. And that was the last I saw of that kind girl, for now.

So as my hangover came down, I started to remember what happened last night. I remembered recruited Smiter, and we celebrated that night ...

"Oh yeah! I supposed to look for this new girl he wanted me to get! What was her name, blast!"

Her name had just slipped my tongue, but I would come back to me later on. All I remembered was that I was supposed to go find her and talk her into joining our cause. I made my way over to the Literary Sector of NT, and sought for the cafe named FanFiction.net. How was I too find someone I had never met before? Just then I remembered Smiter's words ...

---
"You'll find her at the FF.net Cafe. She'll be sitting on the second floor, near the balcony window drinking tea."

"Yes, yes, but what does she look like!?"

"Oh, words cannot describe such beauty! Her skin fair and light, her long silk hair golden as the sun! And that smile! Whew! That maliciously evil yet provocative smile! You'll know mate, when you see her."

"Good God man! You don't have to into a sonnet! Light skin, blonde hair, and evil smile. I got it ..."

"Just one more thing, you'd best beware of her sister. And whatever you do DON'T mention kaka-"

I put a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah yeah! Don't worry, Smiter! I think I'll be okay."
---

Then again, when you have one too many drinks you think you can over come death. Little did I know what I was in store for when I sought out these two. I found this cafe just near the docks, and made my way inside. I saw many authors and writers all around drinking coffee and tea, discussing their works amongst each other. I made my way upstairs to the second floor and there she was, exactly as he had described her. She was sitting next to the open balcony window in a lean back chair with her legs crossed elegantly. The sun shining down upon her as she took a sip of tea from her cup. It seemed like she loved the window seat, gazing out into the ocean, letting the cool sea breeze brush against her warm skin. I began to talk to myself recalling exactly what he said.

"Light and fair skin, long golden silk hair ..."

Just then she picked up a book that read (Icha Icha Paradise), and gave this almost ...

"... maliciously evil, yet provocative smile."

And this is what I get when I find WRITERS as my crew, exact descriptions and detailed actions. I gave a wry laugh and shook my head in complete and udder realization. Well it was time to make my move, probably the only chance I'll get before she would disappear again. I made my way over to her discreetly and stood next to the balcony window, she stared out into the ocean and gave a longing sigh.

"You need to come to terms with what your heart?s telling you before you can fly."

She turned her head to face the new stranger that had just quoted her from her booked entitled "Fly", a NaruSaku story.

"Hm, Fly. I've longed to set sail into the sea, to find others that may believe in what I believe. To share my passion in NaruSaku, but I find myself trapped her for the moment, and in a time where NaruSaku is unmentionable."

"Perhaps you need not to look far, but look underneath the underneath."

She smiled and sat upright to face me.

"And you are?"

"Merely a sympathizer for the NaruSaku. And would hope to have you join us in our cause."

I spoke in an alluring tone and sat in the seat across from her. She knew I wasn't hitting on her and played along.

"Okay ..." She nodded her head and smiled playfully. "And if I do join, I suppose you have a ship?"

"Of course! Just there down in the docks, it's sitting there waiting for me even as we speak!"

I pointed down and across the street to the docks in the direction of a great ship. It must have been the size of a full-fledged battleship with 30 great sails! She was looking at that one, and seemed very impressed.

"That ship?" She pointed to the battleship docked at the bay.

"No. The one next to it."

And I pointed to my sunken ship that was still there. Only the top of the mast was just above the water, but you could still semi see it. She gave out a good infectious laugh.

"Ohohohoho! I like you. You've got a good sense of humor. My name is Sharingank, but you may call me Ash."

"I know."

"And I already know who you are ... hokuten. I've read you're stories before! In fact, I even have a copy of it right now!" She reached into her long blue overcoat and pulled out a book entitled (Village Of Hentai)."

"Oh really?" I began to understand why Smiter liked her, she was very open and free spirited, not to mention a fellow pervert!

"Now I wonder why it is you are here, hmm?" She glared at me.

"A good friend of mine, perhaps you may know him, would be honored ..." I emphasized on the word. "... if you would join our crew of fellow NaruSaku believers."

"Really!?"

And I got to talking about our situation, and filled her in on what we were planning to do. She seemed very taken in by it and was more than over enthusiastic to join. I gladly paid off for the lady's drink, and we began to walk back to the Club Sector. As we were walking past the market area, we were discussing many thoughts about NaruSaku and story ideas we had. There was a lot of people in the market place, so it was fairly crowded. We tried to make our way against the mob, and Ash got knocked over. I leaned down help her back onto her feet and just as we were standing up ...

*WHAM*

It felt like I was smashed by something extremely heavy from behind, or above, well some direction. All I knew was that EVERYTHING hurt. As I woke up I saw Ash talking to someone, another girl. She looked just about the same as Ash, only she had dark hair and was maybe a year or two younger. As I shook my head once again from a very painful headache and tried to sit up.

"Alpha you can't just attack everyone you see with me!"

"But Onee (sister), he was the one who knocked you over! I saw it!"

Ash was shaking her head in disappointment, and put her hand onto her younger sister's shoulder.

"He was helping me back up. And where have you been!? I've been waiting for you at that cafe for hours! You told me to wait, and I waited, and waited!"

"I'm sorry sis, but-" Suddenly whips around to pull something from her backpack. "Mite! Mite! (Lookie Lookie!)"

She pulled from what I could make out some kind of a doll or a plushie of some sort. It was at that moment my ears began to screech in pain.

*SSSQQQEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLL*

Suddenly the elegant and great Sharingank was sqealing like a crazied school girl over what I believe I saw was ... a Kakashi plushie. Just as I got up to my feet, I was going to go ask what happened to me. Then the other girl pulled out more Kakashi fandom gear, and just before I interrupted them.

"Uh, um what happen-"

Before I knew it I was knocked down again by that same heavy object that got me the first time. This time my head wasn't caved in so I semi saw what it was that hit me ... an oversized 1-megaton Hammer. This time I was really knocked out, before I blacked out all I remember was school girl squealing and Ash telling her sister to stop whacking me.

By the end of the night, they were dragging me back to the club. I semi regained consciousnes and Ash introduced me to her partner in crime. I looked to my left to see Ash.

"Oh, he's awake! I'm terribly sorry about my little sister, Hoku." She gave a wry laugh and a embarrassed smile. "She's gets over protective when she see's strange men with me. But it's okay, I told her all about you and the NaruSaku club, and now she's more than happy to join!"

I then look to my right and see Alpha.

"Um ... Yeah sorry about before, name's Alpha! A fellow NaruSaku believer too! Me and my sis have been trying to look for you guys for a while! Oh! And sorry about the smashing you a couple more times ..."

And I thought to myself ... (COUPLE MORE TIMES???)

"... but you'll be okay! We were just so caught up with our new Kaka-"

"No! Don't say it! You know we can help ourselves when we say his name!"

In my dazed state it was I who ended up saying it. "Huh? What? Kakashi?"

*SSSSSSSQQQQQQEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL*

And thus was I got the services of the Kakashi Sisters. All I knew was ... this was SMITER'S recommendation ... and now we had two more strong members in our crew.

To Be Continued.

[Smiter]

*wipes tears of laughter from his eyes*

Loved my introduction, Hoku!

Hehe, you made me sound cooler, and I thought the "attraction" was quite funny. XD I like the "crush" I have for Ash in the story (I actually did have one... Hey... I do like girls who're not afraid to speak out and have a bright mind!).

I'm going to really look forward to the next chapter. I can only imagine the chaos when Ash and Alpha enter. XD

I wonder what the good HMS NaruSaku will be like. She'll make her appearance once the crew are gathered?

[alphabet]

Awesome! I loved it! x) And yay! Me and Ash come in next! Can't wait!

And Smiter! *punches shoulder* How cute!

[Smiter]

*rubs shoulder and chuckles nervously* I guess Hoku probably picked up on that when Ash first arrived at the FC, either that or it was just dumb luck on his part, hehe.

If it was dumb luck... maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.

Hey, a little idea, Hoku. I know that some of the guys won't be able to be part of the crew, but how about a few cameos in the tavern, you know, regular drinkers and visitors? Someone could also look after the place while we're out sinking rival ships.

I have a feeling that the next chapter is going to be LOTS of fun!

[Blayze]

This is starting to sound like One Piece or something

"So tell me mate, who is this lucky lady? And does she have a sister?"

Saying something like that always leads to chaos

I can't wait to see how this next chapter turns out

[sharingank]

*blushes insanely* Wow...I really had no idea that I caused this much hoopla before I showed up...

Aww Smiter!! XD XD XD That's so cute!!! You ARE the reason I discovered this happy little place anyway.

WOOT!!! The Kakashi sisters!!!! XD XD XD XD I can't WAIT to see this!

[Yoko]

This is awesome! I love it....

[Blayze]

"Bah! Damn you paul and you're jagerbombs." I spoke to myself.

...and my what? I assume that's a drink

And before I forget Lloyd, that should be 'your', not 'you're'. If you can't decide which works, think to yourself 'Would this sentence make sense with 'you are' instead?'

'Damn you Paul and you are jagerbombs.'

Nope, doesn't work

[Smiter]

*laughs* Before I invited you over, you were highly regarded as a writer in the NaruSaku FC, Ash.

I'm so glad you didn't try to hit me on the head Sakura-style. XD

Hoku, Ash is the eldest by 2 years, she's 20 while Alpha is 18!

EDIT: LOVE the chapter, Hoku! Yoko and Ash so far, what will happen when Alpha makes her entrance?

And I have a feeling "someone" is going to disregard my advice and mention the K-word...

[Blayze]

I remember a time when people said stuff about me and Melly-chan

Heh... I remember when Lloyd (At least I think it was Lloyd) was going nuts over the fact that (IIRC, his words) 'Sharingank is coming to play.'

[sharingank]

OMG LLOYD!! THAT WAS FREAKING R0XERZ!!!! XD XD XD I can't wait till Alpha comes!!! *happy dances* HEHEHEHEH. The K word...

OMG!! KAKASHI!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! WANT! NOW! XD XD XD XD XD

And yes, I am older than my dear partner in crime.

[Yoko]

I remember a time when people said stuff about me and Melly-chan '

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

^.^ man, I'm bored, and no one's on AIM.... *looks at photoshop blankly then closes it*

[Smiter]

Hokuten... fantastic chapter. XD Quite funny!

*shakes head* I had no idea of the chaos I was about to unleash when I first showed Ash our humble FC. There I was thinking we would scare her off.

Looking forward to the next one. It's a tough choice who to put in next, since all the guys you mention are real regulars. I can't wait to see how Aethos comes across. For some reason, I see him as a bartender when he's not sailing... *shrugs*

Chapter 8: The Crew (Engineer/Navigator & Helmsman)
Subtitle: Pirates & Ex-Navy, Aethos & Arashi

Five members, including myself. It was enough to man a small dinghy, but then again, I don't intend on only sail a dinghy (too small of a boat). So far we have our first mate, a gunner, a recon/scout, and an arms specialist. Now it was time to find my Engineer, Navigator, & Helmsman (driver). As for an engineer we only need someone who could do fast maitenence, but also hold the main defense should we be attacked from the inside. And my navigator would, well ... "navigate" the seas for us. But finding a good Helmsman, that was the challenge. Thus enter Aethos & Arashi, a pair of rivals dogging each other since the beginning of time. Yet, one always seems to let the other go, or the other always seems to find an escape route. Truly they were both rivals, nemesis', but also good friends.

I first learned of Aethos as he started out as an Artist and Idealist. He created his own forms of paradies that made people lighten up about their beliefs. Arashi came to me a while back, before I left for BK. He would tell me of how he would be a lone debater in the Political Sector. Both good men, both NaruSaku believers, unfortunately both polar opposites and wild cannons. Aethos soon became interested in the One Piece, and Arashi joined the navy to become an officer. So naturally they were pitted against each other, Aethos turned to piracy and Arashi was his pursuer.

I had to reach the both of them somehow, but how would be an entire challenge in itself! How to bring them both together without having them at each other's throats? So I consulted my good five man crew at the moment.

"So that's the story of Aethos & Arashi."

"We should just send Ash out as bait and let Alpha pound the crap out of them!" Blayze made a joke.

Alpha on the other hand retorted with. "Oh and I suppose I get to *SMASH* you eh?" She was readying her 1-megaton Hammer in hand.

"Alpha calm down, he was just kidding around." Ash tried to stop her sister from causing a ruckus.

Smiter was holding Blayze back, while Ash was holding Alpha back. I looked at what I had to deal with, and thought ... already three days and I'm going to have a muitny upon me.

"Quiet! Both of you!" I spoke out loud and they all settled down. "Now look, we need Aethos because he's the best engineer I know, also quite possibly he knows the way to the Grand Line for starters! And Arashi is one hell of a pilot, not to mention he's a navy officer it would give us leway against the law, yes?"

They all agreed quietly.

"So then how to bring these two about? Maybe we'll just have to pull some tricks, or perhaps a more direct approach?"

"What do you have in mind, Hoku?" Smiter asked.

Ash caught onto my plan. "I say we get both of them, tie them up and put them in a room until get nice eh?"

"Ooh! Ooh! Then we can *SMASH* them!?" Alpha giving off a very malicious smile, waving her hammer all around.

We all chuckled.

"Aye, and if they don't agree ... you get to have you're way Alpha! HAHAHAH!!!"

And we all drank to our plan.

The next morning, we set a rumor out that some from the NaruSaku Club actually got the One Piece. So naturally Aethos came back to us to see if this were true or not. While on the other hand we informed Arashi that Aethos would be at our club ready to be taken away or be captured. Thus we waited for them to come to us. Low and behold Aethos came through the back doorway, while Arashi came in through the front door. And on top of that, they came at the same time, which was perfect for us.

"YOU!" Aethos shouted as he saw his rival.

Arashi in the same turn shouted in disbelief. "YOU!"

Both of them now looking and pointing at each other. "What are YOU DOING HERE!?"

And I gave the signal. "NOW!"

We knocked them both out at the same time, and tied them securely to their chairs. We sat them about five paces directly across from each other. Naturally they were both dazed, confused, and a little angry.

"What's the meaning of this trickery?! Why did you bring be here and why is HE here!?" Aethos struggling against his ropes.

"You're one to talk! I'm a naval officer! Release me now!" Arashi too was struggling to break free.

"Shut up! Both of you! Geez, and I thought rabid fangirls had issues." Blayze lazily spoke.

"Both of you are here today, because we need the both of you to settle your differences and rejoin the NaruSaku faction." I spoke calmly to them, but they only continued to argue amongst themselves.

"I refuse to work with him! He bloody wants to hang me!"

"It's not my fault that you're a pirate now! It's the law!"

"Oh and I bet the law says that you're supposed to lock up your best friend and sentence him to death!?"

"Well if you'd only just give up that stupid Grand Line, and the search for that stupid One Piece!"

"It's not stupid! And it's real! I know it, and I've seen it!"

They would not stop bickering and arguing that it made me reach a boiling point.

"SILENCE! BOTH OF YOU! If you DO NOT settle your differences NOW. Then I'll have to subject you BOTH to MY CAPITAL PUNISHMENT." I walked over to the bar and Blayze handed me a drink. "Alpha, do as you will."

"YAY! HEHEHEHEHEEE MUAHAHAHAHAA!!!" And Alpha walked out of the shadow of the corner carrying her HUUUUGE MegaTon Hammer.

See, now THAT caught their attention. They knew well that I didn't like to be angered and that I would let this happen to them. So they naturally they had a quick change of heart.

"Oy! O-Okay okay boss! I'll come back, just keep THAT thing away from me!" Aethos quickly yelped as he was the first about to be pounded.

Arashi on the other hand still didn't like the idea of giving up his naval position and becoming a pirate. But surely he would side with me for we are good friends. "Aye, hoku. You put up a good argument."

"Ah-argument!? You call THAT an argument!? Well I'd say it's a pretty DAMN good one! Haha! Please-Don't-Hurt-Me!!!"

"Heh, I suppose I can lose the hate, and see the greater cause. But if he so much as even does anything stupid I'm taking him out ... personally!"

So I got from where I was sitting and spoke to them before we untied them. "Aethos, you're the best engineer that NT has to offer and I know you can defend us like no other, not to mention you know the seas better than I do. And Arashi, you're the best helmsman I've seen yet! You could sail us through a hurricane, a typhoon, and even a tsunami, I've heard. I can't do this alone, WHAT SAY YOU!?"

Both of them proudly shouted together. "AYE!"

We untied both of them and they shook on an agreement for the greater good, our NaruSaku cause. But as for poor Alpha, she really wanted to whacked them up a little. Now we are at seven full crew members. The time is almost near, and we will soon set sail on the NaruSaku Mk.I. And maybe perhaps we can make a small stop by the Grand Line, for old times sake...

To Be Continued.

[alphabet]

YAY! ME AND ASHY!!! *dances* Awesome, hoku! Almost wet myself laughing! My, my, Ashy, we're certainly forceful, aren't we?

ETA - Although I'm a little surprised that you haven't mentioned Fat!Sasuke yet.

[Blayze]

Fat Sasuke didn't happen for a while, Alpha-chan

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Hehehe, I love this, I am having fun reading these stories, hehe, I think Hoku really got Ash-chans true personality down =p hehehehe. The queen of Kakashi and her army of Kakashi plushie dolls!
