The Night n Gale Chapter 6

Four days of dreadful sailing, it had been rocky and unsteady…Hikari not being used to being aboard the ship was getting sick a lot. Sora had taken responsibility of lunchtime Hikari was down below helping her, seeing she could be on deck for long about of time.

"So your from England?" Hikari questioned her as she handed Sora some fish. Sora scraped as much salt off the fish then put it into an empty wooden plate. "Yeah I did." she answered.

"Well I just go a questioned what do you thi….Whoa!" Hikari and Sora went sent to the ground as the ship felt like it had hit something, there was shouts from the crew aboard they could here Taichi shouting orders out. The two girls both ran up on deck the ship had stopped. "Koushiro!" Sora called to him, he came to them immediately. "We hit a sand bar, I have to check the to see if there is any damage done in the cargo area." he replied walking past them.

"Damn it." Taichi swore he sighed went way from the tiller where Jyou was standing the ship was immovable at the moment. Taichi climbed up to the crow's nest taking a contraption that Koushiro had made to look at something that was far away distance.

he spotted an Island. "Weird…there wasn't any island this morning…" he trailed off he put the looking glass down and climbed back down to the deck. "Taichi what did you see?" Koushiro asked him coming toward him, Taichi shrugged confused. "There's an Island off star port." he replied

Koushiro furrowed his brow "Island what Island?" he questioned he turned around saw land it was shrouded in a thick blanket of fog. "My…. that…it wasn't there before!!" Koushiro exclaimed.

"Taichi! What's happening? Sora and I got hurled to the ground." Hikari replied, Sora nodded. "We hit an sand bar that came out of no where…and that Island just showed up from no where as well." Taichi pointed pasted the two girls then looked pasted him their eyes landed on the island they were talking about…and it seemed to be coming closer to them.

"Whoa….I sense magic." Hikari replied she closed her eyes trying to determine the type. "Magic?" Sora questioned her. "Dark magic…. it's really powerful." Hikari reopened her eyes and looked at Taichi. "What?" he asked her.

"Help me!!!" a girl was in the water she need rescuing. Taichi ran edge of the ship. "I'm going to save her." he replied he pulled his shirt handing it to the person behind him who was Sora. "Taichi wait! it could be a trap how would a girl like that get--." she went to grab arm before it was too late, he'd jumped into the ocean and started to swim toward the girl.

"TAICHI!" Hikari called to her brother "It's a trap!!" she called to him Taichi kept swimming. "He won't listen." Koushiro replied. "He has too, his not that thick headed!" she cried.

Taichi started to feel stranger as he swam closer to the girl he was within three feet of the girl who had stopped thrashing around looking at him she smiled and dove behind the waves. Taichi eyes grew wide it was a trap, and from the spot she went under a water spout emerged it began it's way toward the Taichi, he tired to swim back to the ship as fast as he could.

The whole crew watched as they're captain was swept into the waterspout which then disappeared beneath the water. "TAICHI!!" Sora and everyone else cried.

"That is definably no ordinary waterspout." Hikari replied, Koushiro nodded agreeing with her. "A waterspout doesn't just disappear like that, I know there magic behind dark magic." she replied whispering.

"Now what do we do? we have to find Taichi…but where is he?" Jyou questioned. "That mysterious Island…." Hikari pointed to the island that was about twenty miles from the ship.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Taichi woke up he was completely dry and found himself laying on red satin pillows there was servants, dressed in purple tops, and the same color purple puffy pants, there mouths were covered with a piece of fabric.

"You woke up about time." a girls voice replied Taichi turned his head to the left saw a girl long curly blonde hair. "How are you?" he asked alarmed he sat up in the bed he noticed his shirt was missing but then remembering he had given it to Sora. "Catherine." she replied with a smile, she then snapped her fingers a girl came over to them with tray of was seemed to be food. "Try one of these, there called kelp cookies." she replied. Taichi pushed the tray way from himself. "No thanks."

"Your loss." she took one of the cookies and took a bite. Taichi grimaced looking away. "So Catherine…. Why did u have to kidnap me?" he asked. "Kidnap?" she laughed. "It's not kidnapping, it's more of borrowing you." She answered him Taichi eyed her suspiciously he didn't like this place though she was pretty girl there was something about her that said the word evil. He casually glanced over to the window that beads hung from like curtains.

"I have a proposition for you Taichi one I think that will be an easy choice…AH!!! You Hag!" Catherine cried as one of the servants had tripped over something and spilled a tray of oysters on the ground. Catherine pointed her finger at her and girl vanished in a puff of smoke. Taichi eyes widened now realizing who this was Seoras's daughter she had quiet a temper.

"Now…Taichi like I said before….I have a proposition for you." she said to him. "Okay what is it?" he asked. "Marry me." she watched his reaction, which was shock then he began to laugh. "Yeah right." he replied Catherine hadn't laughed noticing quickly Taichi stopped. "Your serious aren't you?" he questioned.

"Of course Taichi I do love you, and if we get together our children could be strong…. with you and me we could rule the entire world." she replied…Taichi got off the bed he walked around the place thinking of a plan to get out. "Oh how tempting offer but you know…" Taichi with one leap jumped up on the windowsill he turned to her. "I'm not the settling down type." he turned around and got ready to jump from the window and found he couldn't move. The bead strings held him by his wrist and ankles. "Taichi, Taichi, Taichi…you shouldn't have done that." she cautioned him. "And now you have to be punished."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sora, Hikari, Jyou and Koushiro all go off the long boat and stepped onto the island shore. "Well this place looks considerably large…how are we supposed to find him…. and Hikari are you even sure he's on this island?" Jyou questioned the four began to walk forward Hikari nodded "I'm sure, defiantly sure." she answered.

"Well then we got to find who ever it is that did this…and find Taichi." Sora replied. "Right on that, we will use this to help us through so we won't get lost." Koushiro pulled a small cylindrically object out Sora, Jyou and Hikari looked at it strange. "What's that?" they all replied at the same time.

"It's a Navigational object for the day…it will tell us the direction to go if we get lost. I call it a compass" he replied. "Are you sure it works?" Jyou questioned him Koushiro nodded.

"Well come on Taichi's is in this direction." Hikari replied she started on the path in front of them Sora followed she then stopped. "Just wait a second." she replied Hikari stopped and looked at her. "We don't have time to stop Sora." the younger girl told her. "Dose anyone have a knife?" Sora asked. "Good that you asked I do." Koushiro replied he dug into the bag he was carrying and pulled out a small knife, he handed it to Sora.

"Thank you." she started to cut away at her gown, in an attempt to mark the dress shorter. "Sora!" Hikari cried. "Hikari if we are going to be walking for a while I don't want to be have something as simple as a gown stopping us from doing anything at all…. I suggest you do also." Sora pointed at her grown it was up to her ankles and pale pink. "Koushiro have anything other knifes?" she questioned.

He pulled another one out except it didn't look like a knife. "Eh…Koushiro what's this?" she questioned. "It's called a cross cutter, it was made especially for cutting fabric." he said Sora threw the knife on the ground. "Why didn't you tell me you had something like that!" she shouted "I didn't know you were going to be cutting fabric." he said defending himself.

Afterwards…

They traveled through the woods…after a while it began to get darker the more they went along, they all stopped. "Hmmm…." Hikari looked around "This isn't right…. something happened way back there…. before it went dark." There were screeches from up in the sky. "What are those?" Sora asked. "Harpies." Hikari said

"Harpies?" Jyou asked. "Reptile and human like yet they have the wings of a bat and have feet of a hawk." she explained to them, they continued on further, and then got stopped by a wall of thorns.

"Great how do we pass through here?" Sora questioned, Jyou stepped up beside her he took his sword out and slashed at the vines, it wasn't very much helpful at all. "It didn't even go through." he replied putting his sword back. "Well, you didn't try with enough power." Sora said she took her sword out brought her sword down hard on the vines they didn't even break.

"Okay well I could blast them with my magic, if all else fails." Hikari replied, the three stood behind her. Hikari formed a fireball in the palm of her hand then once it was as big as a baseball she threw it at the vines, the fireball went right through with such intensity that the vines had burnt to ashes.

They began forward.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Taichi was strapped to a table his wrist and ankles where held securely down, a whip and crackling down across his bare chest, he gritted his teeth. "Catherine…I thought that you loved me?" he questioned then grimaced as he received another slash of the whip. "Hold on… Misha." She walked over to Taichi. "I do…I do…but you tried to escape and I couldn't let you go unpunished." she whispered letting her hands travel down is bare chest.

"Listen how about you let me go so then I can think about it." he compromised, she laughed. "Do you think you will be able to fool me? That easily Taichi." she replied a servant came into the torture room. "Well let's see what your friends are doing to help you." she replied she pointed to the wall in front of them and they a appeared.

Catherine gasped. "NO!! The mortals came on my Island how!" she cried bitterly she looked to Taichi. "They have on brave mind to step on this island." she told him. "Yeah…when it came to finding me my friends know where to look." he answered. "Shut up!" she shouted at him.

She turned her attention to the screen in front of them Hikari passes out… "HIKARI!!" Taichi shouted he watched them concerned.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hikari, are you all right?" Sora asked her as she held on to her to keep her from falling. "Yeah, too much magic in so little time it takes a lot out of me." she whispered. "Then don't over exhaust yourself we can't go even threw if u keep using your magic to blast away vines…we just have to find another way through." Jyou replied.

"Hmm.." a voice echoed over the land the four looked to each other confused. "What was that?" Koushiro questioned, "I don't know." They drew they're swords out. "Those aren't going to protect you…. and you'll pay for trespassing on the island." Catherine's voice warned them.

Hikari was standing on her own now without the help of Sora. "Who are you!" she cried.

"I sense white magic…" Catherine voice replied.

"Hikari!! Help!" Taichi's voice was heard suddenly. "TAICHI!" They cried. "SHUT UP!" Catherine's voice demanded angrily at Taichi. "Leave the Island or you'll never see him again." she demanded. "Yeah…and what are you his boss?" Sora commented sarcastically. "You have no right to say a thing…. and if any one should perish it should be you." her voiced boomed loudly and evilly.

"What have I done to you!" Sora shouted. "O many things…in fact…. Maybe now…would be a good as time as any to get rid of you." her voice was mellow and calming yet she was dangerous.

"NO!! Leave her alone….I'll do it I'll marry you just don't hurt my friends." Taichi cried at her, Catherine turned around to face him. "You just have to let me…go." he replied, Catherine turned to him sharply. "LAIR!" she shouted then narrowed her eyes angrily at him. "Do you think you'll save them like that!" she shouted angry she slammed her fist down on the table Taichi was still on.

"I'm not lying just let me go I'll prove it." Taichi replied sincerely 'Just do it Taichi it's the only way.' he thought. "How do I know for sure?" she replied. "I swear I won't do a thing." he replied, Catherine let him out of his restraints.

He grimaced getting up, Taichi pulled her toward him and kissed her on the lips, he pulled away. "Dose that answer your question?" he asked her Catherine grinned at him. "Very." she kissed him this time…Taichi got off the table now they were standing and kissing. 'One, two…. three!' he though with out warning Tai pushed Catherine into her bodyguard and made a run for the door. "You dirty sailor!!" she shouted angry. "Now, now it was nice chatting with you Catherine but I got to get going." Taichi told her he left the room and started to run down the hall.

"GUARDS!!!!" Catherine shouted.

As Taichi ran down the halls he stopped suddenly when three guards came out of nowhere. "Damn." he cried, he improvised and grabbed a shield that was on that wall. Two of them charged at him, Taichi blocked them with the shield and he kicked the sword from the third guys arm and then kicked him down. Taichi grabbed that sword on the ground and got out of there quickly.

He ran down the stairs where few more guards were coming up it. Taichi high kicked on the guy was sent fly backwards down the stairs taking along the other with him. Reaching the bottom of the stairs he heard some call. "TAICHI!" Hikari came into view he came down the stairs quickly walking by the fallen guards. "Are you okay?" Sora questioned. "Yeah…come on we got to get out of here now." he hurried the four.

Guards blocked they're view, Sora, Koushiro, Jyou and Taichi both held their swords out in front of them. "The guards attacked them, the fought them off easily but not before Catherine came to view in front of them. "Where do you think you are going sailor?" she questioned him. "Hmm…. Like I said." Taichi began. "Ah a ah…you're coming with me." she replied then raised her hand.

"Oh no you don't chick." Hikari replied she shot a lighting bolt at Catherine it had hit her wrist. "OWE!" she cried. "How dare you!" she then glared at her. "How dare you kidnap my brother." Hikari replied. "The pleasure was all mine." she smirked.

Hikari smirked back "How about a cold bath?" Hikari questioned her with a motion of her finger a big glob of water formed over Catherine's head and as fast as it appeared it dropped on top of her. Catherine let out shrike of horror then growled angrily. "OH!!! I'll GET YOU NEXT TIME!" she shouted and then disappeared into a puff a smoke.

Ship…

Sora sat near Taichi and Koushiro, Hikari and Jyou where standing in front of them. "I got to admit that was really hilarious Hikari." Taichi replied laughing. "Who wouldn't think…." Sora replied.

"I guess she seems to have a thing on me…. and she doesn't seem to like you that well." Taichi told Sora she frowned. "But I didn't do a thing." she replied. "That's what I told her." he looked over to Hikari now. "Taichi you're skipping something how come she was so angry at you?" Hikari questioned

Taichi looked from his sister to Sora nervous, Sora raised her eyebrows. "Something happened didn't it." she eyed him. Koushiro and Jyou smiled and left Taichi with the girls. "Eh…. nothing happened swear." he lied the two narrowed their eyes at him.

"All right, I kissed her BUT only to get away from her." he replied defensively. Sora and Hikari laughed at him. "What?" he questioned getting up. "Why didn't you just say it out?" Hikari questioned, he looked at Sora. "I just thought that…" he trailed off "I would get mad?" Sora questioned.

"Yeah."

"Well your right." Sora face turned serious, the other three looked at her surprised ignoring them "Tell me something how could u kiss her when you just met her Taichi!" she shouted at him. Taichi felt trapped. "Well we just met why do you care!" he cried. Sora got cut flustered then blushed. "NO REASON!" she ran below deck. "Sora wait!" he called but it was too late she had already gone into the cabins.

"Taichi I think you like her." Hikari replied. "As a scientist I could very well see that clearly in fact…" he was interrupted by Taichi. "You don't have a fact to say alright…besides she not my type." he told them, then walked over to the tiller.

"Don't you two think that they like each other?" Hikari questioned, Koushiro and Jyou both shrugged. "Very well then we'll just have to prove it that they do like each other." she smiled then left.

"I think we have both gotten ourselves into a predicament. My friend." Jyou replied with a sigh. "It would be good for Taichi…after all it will give him another chance to love." he said. "Aye."
