Come Sail Away

Post by Diatenshi » Tue Nov 19, 2019 3:35 am

Waves crashed upon the hull of the ship as Kaisui tied it off to the dock. It was a large port city in the Land of Tea that Kaisui had made anchor. He chuckled as he watched Ichiro and Umiko scramble about the ship getting things secured. He headed towards a tiny shack, scratching his chin and the scraggly beared that had grown in. He knew they'd both be happy to have a real meal in their bellies and a bed to sleep in. Heck he was too.

"Oi harbour master! Well be here three, four days max here's the pay. No repairs necessary thanks." He dropped a small pouch of coins on the mans counter. He watched the man count it out and as he received a gruff nod he turned back to look for the pair of misfits. Umiko had taken to Ichiro after a short time and she seemed to cling to him almost as much as she did to Kaisui himself. She was currently pulling on his hand down the pier trying to get him to move faster clearly impatient.

"Nichan! He's intentionally moving slowly I swear!!!!! Ughhhhhh." It was nothing more than her usual complaints. No one ever moved fast enough for her. But after being out at sea for so long what else did he expect. Its not like they were able to stop since they'd left Water Country. On the bright side the ship was full of fish he could sell and use to turn a profit. At least until they found better. "Come on lets get a move on we've got fish to off load and an inn to find!"

The teenager hailing from Waterfall Country had grown well into his role of a sailor. Where once he had been a lithe young man with a boyish face he now had notable muscle definition, calloused hands and shaggy medium length black hair as well as dark hair grown in thick on his lip and chin with a bit of wispy hairs on his cheeks and neck. His icy blue eyes retained their alertness and sense of intelligence yet they seemed more tempered now, grounded in the daily struggles of reality. Though he still had his ambitions he realized it would take considerable time and effort to achieve his goals.

Ichiro had learned much over the last year, his former mentors gone their seperate ways he found cause to progress nonethless under his captain. He had learned of Kaisui's abilities and in turn Ichiro had revealed his own training, proving himself useful with his Suiton ninjutsu and the medical knowledge he possessed as well as taking to and developing some Raiton techniques after being taught by his Captain how to harness this additional element. Still, the pair had to be extremely careful when utilizing such techniques. They were still too weak to combat most shinobi and had only narrowly escaped Water Country.

The trio had hired a few dozen deckhands for their Schooner, dedicating themselves in search of their own riches. Grunt workers the lot of them they were useful for sailing but not to be relied upon in combat as much more than distractions. As always Ichiro would work alongside the men until everything was secured and accounted for. As First Mate it was his responsibility to keep track of provisions and keep the men in line to some extent, to do that he needed their respect. Ultimately though there was noone the crew respected and feared more than the Captain, an imposing man standing over 7 feet tall Kaisui had far more authority than Ichiro could ever hope to instill.

Finishing up with securing the ship the men set to unloading the goods they wished to sell, fish mostly this time. For this the crew could handle it themselves, especially as Umiko insisted on dragging him away from the work. Ichiro had grown fond of the young girl. She too was born in Waterfall Country, though she remembered little of their homeland, Ichiro would often tell her about his own village and how he hoped to one day return to his father and younger sister. His mother had died of a sickness that had spread through the country many years passed. Ichiro shook his head at Umi's comment, "That's because there's still work to do. I have to oversee the unloading of the goods, verify the number of barrels and..." he could tell that she didn't care about such details, sighing he followed along a little faster. "Alright, we can find something to eat and clean up a bit I suppose" he conceded. Sword at his left hip, tanto at his right the man wearing a tight blue hooded jacket followed along. The girl always had a knack for finding the best places for food and lodging so he would simply follow along and then decide if the prize range was within their budget.

Having been traveling for some days without much rest, a tired and hungry Miyuki had eventually stumbled her way into a port town, the woman having been staying at the inn for the last couple days while she regained her strength. It was a nice town with nice people and she had been more than happy to stick around... and besides, she loved the lure of the ocean, today in particular having found herself near the piers while she stared out at sea, simply listening to the sound of the waves and the cry of the gulls. The sea was a thing that strangely put her at ease.

After a while she noticed a ship pulling into port, head tilted curiously as she watched it dock, a giant of a man disembarking, followed shortly after by another man and a young girl. Well that was certainly a strange grouping. Perhaps they were just sailors looking for a place to rest or maybe they were pirates, though the latter was incredibly unlikely given the sight of them. No, it was much more likely that they were here looking for a place to stay, to load off their goods and take a well deserved rest.

Still though for now she decided not to approach, simply waiting and watching to see if this group truly posed a threat or not before deciding on her next course of action.

In the midday sun the city was alive with action people moving to and fro. There were merchants calling out prices for their wares. Young men flirting with women. the city was just an all around bustle of activity. The trio moved through the crowded streets with Kaisui leading the way, people making way for his massive girth almost instictively. As always he led the way while Umiko rode on his shoulders keeping an eye peeled for any tails.

It was Umiko who first noted the girl following them from behind. She told Kaisui but he simply shrugged it off not worried. It was the land of tea. People his size always drew eyes. He led the trio to the market first ti sell the fish. He'd let Ichiro do the bargaining and would simply stand behind him menacingly. Meanwhile Umiko in her normal fashion would begin stealing from the passerbys in the crowd.
