Chapter 9 - Ferry Fun

The next night came quickly and Yuu and Kamio were sneaking onto the ferry. "Why are we sneaking on board," Kamio asked Yuu.

"We're criminals so we can't just go in the front door," Yuu told him.

They managed to get onto the ferry undetected and were wandering the halls. The halls were decorated with red carpet floors and gold lining the bottom of the walls. "We should split up until the ferry docks in Molognia." Yuu said as she walked off leaving Kamio behind before he had any chance to object.

Kamio walked around the halls until he overheard an argument that seemed to be between two men. "Watch where you're goin' bub!" A smaller man yelled at a man taller than him.

"Do you know who I am?" The smaller man said.

"No nor do I care." The taller man told the smaller man.

"I'm the son of the ship's captain! I can get you kicked off the ferry." The small man yelled and raised his fist and punched the tall man.

The punch did nothing to the man. The tall man turned around and started to walk away from the small man. He walked past Kamio and noticed his staring. "What are you staring at?"

Kamio jumped a little when the man asked this. "N-n-nothing." Kamio stammered out.

The man stopped walking and looked intently at Kamio. "You look familiar." The man said.

Kamio started to sweat a little. "A-are you s-s-sure? I-I don't believe we've ever met." Kamio said, calming down a tiny bit.

"You are right, we've never met, but you are a wanted criminal," The man told Kamio.

The calmness that Kamio had disappeared when the man said this. Kamio stood still, eyes widened. "Don't worry I won't report you. I can't do that after all."

Kamio turned and faced the man. "W-what do you m-mean?" Kamio asked him.

"Well, I'm also a criminal, so if I turn you in, I would also be arrested. The name's Sakiro." The man Kamio now knew as Sakiro said.

"I-I'm Kamio. Wait a minute you're a criminal too? How did you get on the ferry?" Kamio asked.

Sakiro looked at Kamio, confused. "What do you mean? I walked in from the entrance. How do you get on?" He asked Kamio.

"Me and my partner got in through the storage area," Kamio told Sakiro quietly.

"T-that's not important, how did you know I was a criminal?!" Sakiro shook his head.

"You just had the nervous aura of a weak criminal is all." Kamio looked at Sakiro with a shocked expression.

"Since you and your partner don't have a room I'll let ya crash in mine for the ride. By the way, where is this partner of yours?" Sakiro asked while looking around the hallway.

Yuu walked around the ferry looking for something to do, she walked among people on the deck at the moment. 'There is nothing to do on this damn ferry!' Yuu thought in anger.

She took a turn, that leads into the interior of the ship and bumped into a person wearing a white cloak that had blue stripes going along the edges and a suit of armor, but instead of a helmet, there was a hood covering her face. When she bumped into this person the hood that the person was wearing was knocked down and Yuu fell on her butt. "S-sorry I wasn't watching where I was going," Yuu said as she stood up and looked at the person she had bumped into, in front of her stood a girl with shoulder-length dark blue hair, a couple of strands sticking straight up in the air, and gentle blue eyes, she stood a whole head taller than Yuu did and was a couple of inches taller than Kamio.

"Don't worry about it, are you ok?" The person asked Yuu.

"I-I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Yuu said as she looked down out of embarrassment, the only people that were this nice to her were Yuuki and Kamio.

"If you'll excuse me I have to be running along now." The girl said as she walked away from Yuu.

'She was nice.' Yuu thought before walking in the opposite direction of where the girl had gone.

The girl with dark blue hair walked through a door into a meeting room, there were people surrounding a big round table. "You're late, Irima!" One of the men yelled at her as she walked in the door.

"Forgive me, I had a little incident happen on the way here," Irima told the man.

"Tch, it doesn't matter now. Let's continue discussing ways to deal with the people that attacked the central tower!"

Yuu walked through the hallways aimlessly, trying to find something to do. "Damn, this ferry really had nothing!" Yuu yelled in an empty hallway.

"Hey! Yuu, there you are," Kamio yelled as he happened to walk by the hallway Yuu was yelling in.

"Kamio. What do you want?" Yuu said, irritated.

Kamio came down the hallway with Sakiro right behind him. Yuu looked at Sakiro and a grin appeared on her face. 'Perhaps there is something fun to do after all.' Yuu thought to herself.<
