Black Butler: Curse of the Zodiac

She nodded, not buying it but went inside to meet the rest of the group. She bowed and said "sorry for intruding. Lady Margaret Shade, at your service"

Bane was curled up on the floor, hitori standing by the window. Bane said "my partner is at the house now...I can sense her"

Maggie heard the door open and fought to get up, not willing to die on her knees. But the man was stronger then her and grabbed her hair, pulling it back to show her neck. She closed her eyes, ready for the metal to cut her throat and end it all....but the pain never came.

She opened her eyes and looked at him, his words barely reaching her ears. She panted, having been coughing not long ago and was worse for wear. She looked at him and said weakly "hello there....you must be a pirate....the guard...is he dead? Please tell me it was slow....he was a brut...." She coughed again, her legs buckling under her.

The Hokage looked at James and said "I want bane to go with you, this will be a recon mission and he is one of the best. Your task is to protect Megumi" Megumi looked up and said "I don't need to be protected"

Bane was steering the helm, cursing softly as he saw the pirates already taking the navel ship. "Alright...we may have to let her loose...if the captain is in trouble on board we have to do something to save her...or we are all in trouble.." Bane turned and called "Dante! Ready the guns! If we have to take both ships then I want to be ready too!" He heard a reply and then turned back to the fight before them. "Maggie...please be alright..."

The captain was fighting to loosen her chained hands, but with no food, no medical aid or real sleep, she was lucky to lift her arms. Then she heard steps and laughing nearby. she froze, then pulled harder at the chains. "If only I had a weapon and could get one hit in...that's all I need..." Her legs buckled and she slid to the ground, coughing into her hands as the noises got closer. She was in trouble, and worse off she couldn't defend herself in this state.

Works for me

Bane heard shots and looked over, then ran to the other rail and saw the pirate ship heading for the Navel one, the one his captain was on. "Oh no...no not now..." He looked around and said "Boys we got a problem. If that ship takes the marines, they won't let our fair captain go free...they will kill her. We better beat them to the punch. Ready the sails, we are heading after them after all"

The woman looked up when she heard canon fire and she muttered weakly "That can't be Bane...I told them not to come after me...I have to get out of here..." She fought to get free of her chains, but she was too weak. She needed to shed blood to get her strength back, and for her curse to take affect. She cursed, trying to pull free. She was dead either way if she didn't get free. From the rope in the morning, of a blade in the heart in just a short while.

Aidan stood on the deck, one hand on the rail and the other clutching a grubby glass bottle of watered down rum. The salt-laden breeze tousled his hair, blowing it back from his face and carrying sea spray into his face. The salty taste was the most familiar thing in the world, as was the heaving of the wooden planks beneath his feet. It looked like a storm might be brewing on the distant horizon but for now it was too difficult to know for sure, as the sky darkened with the setting sun. He swallowed another mouthful of rum as he watched the waves below, wondering where the captain was going to direct them next. His duties were done for the day and he had the evening off, providing nothing of note occurred.

He was just contemplating whether or not to find a fellow crew member at leisure and start a game of dice, when the captain began to shout for attention. A Naval ship had been spotted and the pirate ship was giving chase, hungry for plunder. It had been too long since they had felt the heat of battle and the crew lusted for blood and gold and glory; Aidan was no exception. He wanted to feel his heart hammer in his chest as he pursued an enemy and hear the clash of swords and crack of gunshots.

Running across the slippery deck to help with the sails, he recalled that he was unsure if he had loaded his pistol or not. Still, his cutlass was as sharp as ever and anyway, he preferred fighting with a sword. They soon drew closer to the other ship and the captain gave the order to ready the cannons. Aidan's view was obscured by wet tangles of rope so he was unable to see if the Naval ship was mounting any defense, but he was confident that they would soon board, plunder and sink it as they had done so many times before to so many other ships.

She hung from the wall, chains keeping her tight and unmoving as the cell door opened and a navel officer walked in. He looked her over and looked at the sailor standing guard. "Has she said anything?" The guard shook his head. "Not a word since they brought her in...I'm not sure why they bond her like that...she doesn't seem that much of a threat..." The officer walked over the prisoner and said "She doesn't look like much of a threat...but she is. She took down three ships on her own before we finally caught her. She's to be executed in the morning for her crimes..." The woman looked up at him, her purple eyes almost glowing in the bad light. "I doubt that...and my crimes were against the scum of the sea...those crews were blood thirsty killers" The officer nodded and said "Still...you are a threat to the seas...the risk can't be taken" He turned and left the cell, the guard locking it up after him. She looked down again and closed her eyes. She wasn't worried. She trusted that fate wasn't done with her yet. And she knew of some people who wanted her very much alive...

A man was standing on a deck, a few other man standing around. The biggest man, who had white hair but young said "The captain is in trouble...and we have no way of getting inside...we need a miracle.."

Bane frowned and the Hokage raised his hand and said "Enough both of you. Ms. Megumi, I got your message a few days ago. I will have a team ready but James and Bane have offered to take you back to your village to help start the charge of saving your home. If that is alright with you?" Megumi smiled and said "Thank you all for your help...my village needs all the help we can get..."

Mission: Shadow of the Warrior

Bane sighed and looked at him. The Hokage walked in and said "Easy you two...James, could you let my son talk" Megumi smiled and said "Hello..." The Hokage sat down and said "How are you feeling?" She looked at her hands and said "Much better....thanks to these two..."
