#6 Hikari : The First Stop

The crew of Hikari set sail for the first time. Aero seemed very pleased that he was a step closer to unveil the secret of the sacred relics that he had been searching for his life. Sky and Eve on the other hand, were not very compatible with each other. 

As Eve was the one to commandeer the ship, Sky asked sarcastically, “ Yo, do you have any idea where we are going?"

               “ Of course I do, it is the nearest town that have one of the relics, according to the rumors at least.” answered Eve. Their arguments were endless.
                “ Let me rephrase, do you have any idea how to get to the place we are going?,”
                “ I am not a sailor. How am I supposed to know how to steer a ship? Just be grateful that we are sailing.”
                “ Be grateful that we are lost?, I am grateful that the ship is not upside down because if it does, I am wiping the floor with your face.”
                “ Do you want to steer the ship? Let’s see if you can do better than me.”
Aero came out of the cabin to stop their quarrel. He suggested the crew to hit land. He wanted to find a navigator before Sky and Eve brought the ship apart.

Their first stop after sailing was a small town near the harbor. Sky and Aero went to get some idea of the place and the perfect place would be a bar. Eve stayed on the ship to rest off exhaustion.

Sky and Aero entered the only to be welcomed by local thugs glaring at them. Sky sinisterly grinned at them, refused to lose in glaring fight. He then took a seat followed by Aero. They ignored the thugs. After some moments, a waitress came to their table. A young beautiful one indeed. She came to take their orders. She asked with a cheerful smile but Aero noticed her fake smile and knew that she tried her hardest to put a smile on her face. Sky ordered some meat and Aero did not order anything as he was looking for someone that might know of this place in the bar.

                As the waitress was making her way into the kitchen, she was getting picked on by several thugs. They were holding her hands, forcing her to sit and eat with them. They wanted to be served by the waitress. As she was struggling to escape, a thug raised his hand to hit her. In a single flash, Sky stopped the thug by pointing his blade at his throat, a millimeter away from cutting his throat.

                Realizing a death threat, all the thugs stood up and drew weapons. All their focus remained on Sky. Some of them had knives and bats with them while Sky stood alone with a single blade in his hand. The waitress saw her chances and managed to get way. Aero just looked at the scene with a absolute prediction of what would happen.
