Cat-shifting Pirates Part 1
Why oh why hadn't he tried harder to talk his prince out of this voyage? Heero strained at the ropes that held him, cautiously, keeping his eyes on their captors. They prowled the decks, ignoring the captured crew as they searched the ship for anything of value.
"I never really believed in them," Trowa said softly from his place beside Heero.
"I thought they were a story to scare children with," the Prince agreed, his voice just as soft.
Heero watched the pirates that stalked the deck of the ship- some on two legs and some on four- and found them very believable. But then, this was not his homeland. In his homeland he knew that the stories that the elders told you around the fire were told for very good reasons- as warnings.
One of the four legged shapes paced towards them and Heero braced himself. If that creature went for the Prince-
As it reached them, the beast stretched, its golden fur rippling, and a moment later, a man stood before them, shaking his blond hair into place, straightening a wrinkled sleeve. "So," he said, his eyes narrowing as he studied the three of them. "Which of you is in charge?"
Heero couldn't answer, the pirates had gagged him. Trowa spoke up. "I am."
The blond studied him for a moment, then turned his attention to Heero- and then to the Prince. "Somehow, I don't believe you," he said mildly, and spun on his heel. Another beast was approaching, larger and with darker fur. "Captain," the blond said and stepped back a pace.
The beast stretched, it's mouth widening in a yawn that showed sharp teeth that glinted in the sunlight.
"This one says he's in charge." the blond indicated Trowa.
The beast shook itself, its transformation into man quicker than the blond's. "No," the captain shook his head, his neatly tied braid swishing behind him as his tail had done a moment before. "No. The one in the middle- that's the Prince." He smiled, white teeth flashing. "Isn't that so, your highness?"
"I am Chang Wufei." The Prince admitted and Heero felt Trowa tense beside him.
The captain smiled wider. "Thought so." He leaned over and placed his cheek beside the Prince's, skin to skin. Heero saw him draw in a deep breath and then let it out. What was he doing? The captain straightened up and shook his head at the blond. "No sign of it. We might as well let him go."
The blond nodded as the Prince gasped in surprise. "Let me go?"
"Sorry, highness, but we don't hold people for ransom- and I doubt you'd be much use down below. Besides- we take you and your father would send his whole navy after us. No thanks."
"What about the other two?" The blond asked.
"They are my bodyguards! You must release them with me!"
"Pardon again, highness, but it's not like they've done that great a job." The captain smirked and Heero bit back a growl. "Let me see if they'd be any use to us-"
He stepped close to Trowa, again leaning over and pressing his cheek against the other man's. Trowa flinched away and the captain laughed. "This one might be some use. What do you think, Quatre?"
Reaching down he grabbed Trowa, lifting him up onto his feet as if he weighed no more than a feather. He pushed him towards the blond who caught Trowa easily. The blond did the same cheek to cheek gesture, his eyes half closing. "Oh, I think so. Can I keep this one?"
"If you like." The captain turned to face Heero and his eyes widened slightly. "Why is this one gagged?"
"I understand when they disarmed him, he tried to bite."
"Interesting."
Heero tensed as the captain leaned toward him, but stayed still as the other man's cheek brushed his. He heard the soft inhale and took a breath of his own-
Desire, hot and fierce washed over him, increasing his heartbeat. He heard the captain chuckle. "Oh, and what have we here?"
He was pulled to his feet, his gag yanked away from his lips, and then the captain's mouth was on his.
Bite him! His brain urged, but with that scent in his nose, and the warmth rushing through his skin- he couldn't. He could only open his lips and respond...
"Captain?" he heard the blond ask.
The captain pulled away, gasping, his eyes dark. "This one," he said, his voice rougher than before. "This one is of the blood- and he's mine."
