ShikaTema: Pirate AU - Part 1
A/N: This story is written for fun and games with a general plot in mind. It'll have fluff (sfw), it'll have spice (nsfw) and most importantly, the whole shebang is through Kiba's perspective. Weird, I know, but it's not going to be that bad I promise lol
It's times like these, where I'm in tricky situations like hanging upside down on one leg, off a precariously built wooden scaffolding, with a raging fat man foaming at the mouth and screaming to cut my balls off, and I truly question what I'm doing with my life. Don't get me wrong, this isn't the worst that has happened in my blessed 29 years on this beautiful land, but some moments really make you wonder don't they...
Like, wasn't I just across the road in that Inn, flirting with their lovely barmaid? Or was that yesterday? The timing and details are irrelevant here.
"Oi! Say...can a man get a clap of thunder here before he's forced to go meet his maker?", might as well get a shot in before heading back.
"No rum fo filfy pirates like yew, now shut ye trap! I'll be takin' mi bounty as soon as the redcoats arrive"
"PIRATE?! Who? Me?! I'll have you know sir, I'm an up class citizen! I beg you, let me go, I have a small lad waiting for his father at home, he needs feeding sir!"
His face twitched into a grimace as the fat man pressed the blunt blade to his chest a little harder and tore through the fabric. Fucker, that's a new shirt.
"Besides, I took a nice long bath just this morning after I enjoyed the pleasurable company of your lovely wife, great lungs on that one I tell you"
It did the trick. The man howled in anger and swung back his sword to go at him again, giving Kiba just enough time to pull himself up and avoid getting his neck getting botched. He quickly slipped out a dagger from his boot and cut through the pitiful knots, narrowly missing another swing of the sword. As the sinews gave away, he turned and winked at the raging barber underneath.
"As much as it pains me to cut this meeting short, I'll have to say my goodbyes mate, I have a ship to catch and some loot to take back!", he kicked off the structure and swung himself to the right, somersaulting in mid-air to land firmly on his feet; right next to the confiscated bag of coins.
Grabbing the bag, he made a sprint towards the docks, zigzagging his way through the crowd, sending winks to passing ladies and and finally parkouring the last 10 feet to the ship till he hit the deck with a loud thud.
He swaggered his way to the captain's chambers and dropped the bag on the desk.
"All of 30,000 sterlings from his personal vault and some added juicy insiders directly from the mouth of his wife's maidservant. You owe me new eardrums for that by the way, she was a screamer."
The captain raised an elegantly arched, blonde brow before redirecting her gaze to the coins.
"I see you managed to slip in some fun even on a quick, plundering night... not that I'm begrudging you that."
She stood up and slid out a map pressed under the sack of loot, carefully rolling it and slipping it silently inside one of the numerous drawers in her desk.
"So, how long till they sound the alarm?"
"Judging by his schedule, about five minutes."
She nodded, looking out the small window of her personal study; gesturing for him to follow her out. They made their way back to the deck and she smirked at her crew,
"Batten down the hatches lads! The mouse is coming out to play."
P.S. giving @senbons some credit because Kiba being the narrator was a stroke of genius lmao!
