Silver Infinity ((Kamukura X Komaeda)) (Chapter One)

There was no sea too brutal for the shadow of the ship that caressed the ocean. Not even as the waters gashed across the wooden sides, or the masts cracked and snapped with the wind pounding against them, the ship stood strong and the crew even stronger.

"Four o'clock, Captain!" A man's voice called from the lookout tower, swaying so meticulously that it was as though the man would fall at any moment. It was a wonder such simple human eyes could see beyond the thick blanket of rain, but not even the storm could hide the massive vessel approaching ever closer. The ship swiveled near, only narrowly avoiding slamming the boats into each other. The captain squinted his eyes, struggling to see who was steering such a ship, and who had the gull to simply park beside him like they were summoned to some dinner party.

The unsteady flooring didn't serve any help but it wasn't that much a problem, this wasn't the first storm the Captain had pushed through. He took a short step forward and placed his pale hand on the railing, keeping himself standing as he continued to study the second ship. It was painted in black, much too fancy for another pirate. How stupid did they have to be, flaunting their wealth on the open waters? This was just begging to be robbed. "Men," He started a command towards the waiting crew before a flash of a moving figure pulled his attention back to the opposite wheel. A man stood tall, features too difficult to make out in the storm. Though it must have been the Captain, who else would it be?

"Captain Izuru Kamukura of Damascus!" The voice called over, almost drowned out with the boiling seawater crashing against the ships. "You pilot the Warrior's Revenge, right!?" Izuru didn't find such a thing worthy of a response. "I've been looking for you, King!" Despite the boasting weather, somehow the voice came clear to the Captain. Perhaps he always had a good sense of hearing, or the other captain drew his attention beyond the thunder, for whatever reason, he could hear the milky voice of the man calling over and he wasn't pleased with it. "Mind if we come over?"

Izuru barely had time to respond before the enemy's crewmen dropped a board between the ships. He wasn't sure what it was, but something in the Captain's mind snapped in anger. Who was this guy that dared invade his ship? Someone being a damn idiot, what else? The Captain drew his sword with a metallic scrape from the sheathe and hurried to the lower level of the ship where his men were already engaged in battle. It took only a glance of the enemy's men to see they were thin and fragile, barely worth his attention. No, his crew could handle these guys, Izuru's focus was more turned to...

Yes, there. Beyond the makeshift bridge, the Captain's shadow lay beyond. He stood tall, perhaps slightly taller than Izuru himself, with hands bearing a sharp-edged sword. Take out the leader, that would end it. The Captain allowed himself to look a minute more, simply taking in the view of who would soon be spilling blood into the blue sea. Perhaps the sharks would enjoy having a taste of such an elegant 'pirate', if that's what he could even be called. He could not see this man as a fellow pirate.

As he inhaled, Izuru could taste the electricity in the air. It felt energizing, but not quite exciting. Not yet at least, if he could even feel excited. That would depend on how well this man could put up a good fight. It had been a while since anyone dared challenge him of all pirates. As carefully as he could without falling into the ravaged waves below, Izuru pushed himself forward onto the board. The waiting man made no movements. He was almost like a statue. One foot in front of the other, his black boots glided across the wood. Just as he thought it would be flawless, from the corner of Izuru's eye, a wave edged before throwing itself between the ships.

All at once, the dark Captain was submerged into the thick waters below. Everything was dark, and no matter how much he tried to breathe, his lungs only continued to suck in water. Izuru almost wanted to cough but he couldn't even do that. No, he needed to swim up. Swimming was something he could do obviously, but staying afloat in this storm would be the tricky part. Clutching his sword in hand, the Captain pulled a smaller knife from his pocket and thrust himself forward, making it a chore to not be swept away. Holding his breath this long wasn't a problem, but it wasn't preferable. Through the dark waters, Izuru could see the man's ship before him, and without a second thought, plunged the blades into the wood, holding himself still. It wasn't like this was going to sink an entire ship, it was thicker than that by a mile.

Well, that was an exaggeration. Pulling out the knife, he rose his arm and sunk it higher into the wood, and then repeated it with the sword until he was scaling the ship. The moment he broke the surface, Izuru gasped for a heavy breath and allowed himself to take a moment to cough the vile water out of his lungs. The relief didn't last long, not when the enraged ocean continued pummeling his body. Shaking the water out of his eyes, Izuru looked to the sky, catching sight of the Captain leaning over the railing, watching him without moving. Was this some sick pleasure for this guy to watch?

Izuru couldn't really feel angry of course, he would do the same if he were that man. It still didn't feel nice though. "Throw me a rope," Izuru demanded, slightly louder than he normally bothered speaking. "Unless you want me to stab you as many times as I'm doing to your precious, pretty boat." As the other Captain didn't speak, he vanished behind the railing.

Was Izuru really just ignored? Just wait until he got up there, making him do all this annoying work just to kill a man. Pulling out his sword again, he was about to stab it into the wood once more before a rope was suddenly dropped beside him, the wind causing it to smack against his body. The Captain didn't waste any time in holding it still and returning the knife to his pockets. So the guy could listen, great to know. His sword would stay out though, he could scale a rope holding a sword no problem, and he did. It didn't take long for Izuru's feet to fall to the deck, and the rope to be thrown back over the side. That wasn't his responsibility to clean up. But the other Captain was nowhere to be seen. Fled in fear? How predictable.

"Nice to meet you!" A voice suddenly called over the storm. Izuru didn't have a chance to look for the source before he was raising his sword to block an attack. The sound of the sword clanging together caused a sharp ring to echo in his ears. Finally, he was getting a good look at this Captain, but it seemed like the other Captain was staring just as deeply at him. White hair, lime eyes, he looked like a ghost or some ill patient. And ever so scrawny, like his muscles were removed just as much as his skin pigment was. Was he a snowman or something?

"You're Captain Izuru Kamukura, right? It was you after all!" The Captain suddenly smiled, green eyes sparkling bright. "I was just guessing but it has to be you!" Izuru had no interest in whatever was happening. He pushed against his sword, throwing the man back. For a moment, it looked like he was about to fall but he quickly caught himself and lowered his sword.

"You're as pretty as a girl," The man's shoulders relaxed. "I'm Nagito Komaeda, and you're as amazing as the stories say." For a second, Izuru didn't know what to respond. What a backhanded compliment calling a man like him a pretty girl. Izuru had long black hair and perfect skin, but unlike all the other pirates across the seas, he was just someone that bothered to take care of himself. "I came here to kill you," Izuru rose his blade. "You invade my ship in this storm, knowing who I am, and assume I wouldn't-" "Oh yes, Hajime Hinata was your predecessor, you're the most famous pirate in the seas after him!" Nagito grinned ear to ear like a foolish child. Izuru, on the other hand, was not amused in the slightest. Narrowing his sharp scarlet eyes, he ran forward and slashed his sword, only barely missing the foolish man who dared to let his guard down.

Nagito's green eyes widened in fear; exactly what the Captain wanted. With another slash, the pale boy ducked and suddenly ran past with an attempt to hurry below deck, but he didn't make it far. Izuru was fast, incredibly fast, and with a quick swoop, his hand was on Nagito's collar before he pulled the man down with a painful thud and placed his foot on the skinny chest.

Nagito's eyes lidded as the rain pelted his face, but it appeared like he was watching Izuru as best he could, his hands pulling at the thick black boots as if that would do something about his situation. "You realize what I'm going to do now, don't you?" The Captain slid the point of the sword beneath Nagito's chin, ever so gently pressing it against his skin.

The man opened his mouth to speak, eyes wide with fear, but as though something suddenly snapped in him, his body relaxed and a short smile plastered upon his face. "It's only fair," He ushered. "I came here to kill you, but I couldn't do it. It's funny, I've killed many pirates now, but I couldn't bring myself to raise my sword to you."

Izuru was silent for a long moment before snorting. "I'm soaking wet and pointing my sword at someone that wouldn't even fight back. Pathetic." With that, the Captain sheathed his sword. "The queen hired you of course. You're not even worth my kill. Go quivering back to her." When Izuru turned his back, Nagito allowed himself to sit up and stare down the powerful pirate. He could be thankful for the storm this once because Izuru Kamukura didn't hear the following words that left Nagito's mouth; "I think I'm in love."
