Koji then docked the inferno as he turned to his crewmates "Everyone ok?" He then asked
"I'm fine" Tikana said jumping off of the railing of the ship
"Me too" Ray then added
"What about you guys?" Koji then said to the others

Chris nodded the affirmative. It was a good two day trip, and she honestly couldn't wait to put her feet on solid ground again. "Good here," She called.
"Same," Gray said. He walked toward the anchor and heaved it over the side with ease, then slowly turned the crank to let it into the water. "Anchor's grounded," He called. "Chris, the sails,"
"Got it," Chris called. She walked toward the mast and pulled the rope attached to the sails, rolling them up, then tied it onto the mast itself. "Alright, all set."

Forest nodded although in a daydream state, staring out at the vast blue ocean. "Same as the others," he agreed, resting his head in his hands.
"Wait," Tia said, walking out with a large, rolled up black thing under her arm. She had locked herself away in her room working on something during the whole trip. "I made something. I want to show you guys before we get off the ship," she said with a smile.

"What is that?" Tikana then asked Tia
"What we need is a flag" Koji then said looking up at the sky

Chris hid her smile as she looked at the black cloth. "What is it?" She asked. She adjusted the shirt she was wearing [one of Gray's], and the loose jeans, then carefully hid her hair in a hat. She looked nothing like a girl at this point.
"WEll she's been locked up in that room of hers for about three days. It must be something pretty damn good," Gray said. He strapped his swords to his belt one at a time. "Oi, what's with the outfit today?" Gray asked. He felt strangely nostalgic seeing her wearing that; it reminded him of the old days when she used to disguise herself.
"I'm gonna go look for bounty posters and I doubt the other hunters will take me serious as a girl, so I figured I'd hide out as a boy for today," She again adjusted the shirt. "Just until I get the posters at least," She looked back at Tia.

Her smile turned into a grin. "A flag?" she asked innocently and took the black roll in her hands and waved it to it's full length.
In the middle of the ebony background was a skull with two swords under it. An orange ring of fire was behind it. Tia admired it for a few quick heartbeats before starting, "I had a lot of designs, but I ended up choosing this. But uhm," she went red a bit. "If anyone doesn't like it, I can, uh, make a new one, but I thought it would work well for a flag," she nervously tapped her fingers together.

"I like it Tia" Tikana then said turning to chris "Wish i could help but i wouldn't know how to dress different" She said with a smile
"You wouldn't make it for 10 minutes as a guy" Koji then said
"Can too!" She then said
"Can't" Koji then said
"That's it! I'm going" she then ran downstairs
Koji then slapped himself in the head "What have i done?"

"Relax, it isn't that hard," Chris said. "And I've done this most of my life, so I'll keep an eye on her if you want," Her eyes caught sight of the flag and they widened.
"Woah..." She muttered with disbelief. "Tia, that's amazing! How did you do it?" She stepped up to it and examined it closely. It looked like such a difficult design. This girl had skills.
"Oh, damn," Gray muttered, looking at it. "Not bad at all, kid,"

"How did I do it? With skills, deary," she grinned. "And three days of putting thread through needles," she added under her breath. Her cheeks flushed and she knelt down and began to roll it back up.
Forest rested his arms on Tia's back and she looked up at him annoyed. "So, this is all you've done your life? Sowing?" he asked teasingly.
"No, I ... uhm, entertained," she coughed and pushed him off, holding the flag under her arm again. "In this village here," she added. She looked over at Chris. "Dressed as a boy as a child, eh? Sounds fun," she laughed a bit.

"Chris i would never give you such a hard---" Koji was then interupted by Tikana
"How do I look?" She then asked, She was wearing one of gray's shirts and a pair of baggy jeans and sneakers and a cap covering her eyes with a tooth pick in her mouth
"Damn i would've never believed it.....but she actually pulled it off" Koji then said amazed
"Hey, thats my hat!" Ray then said to tikana
"I know thanks by the way" Tikana then answered

Tia looked over at Tikana. "Hey, who are you?" she joked. "Look good. I probably wouldn't be able to tell you were Tikana if I didn't know you better." She paused and added, "You're not getting me to dress like a boy."

"Hey, that's mine!" Gray pointed out, looking at the shirt. "What the hell? Can't you guys wear your own shirts?"
"Stop being a baby. We'll pick some up while we're out," Chris said. She looked at Tikana and crossed her arms. "Disguise your voice a bit more. Other then that, pretty convincing," She turned her attention to Tia and smiled broadly.
"Yeah, that's right. I spent my time with boys and I sort of HAD to make myself look like one. They tried to kick me out of our crew when they found out I was a girl,"
"Shut up, Chris. That's ancient history," Gray snarled. "Besides, we were young,"
"Yeah, whatever," Chris replied. She looked at Tikana. "So, brother, shall we go look for some bounties?" She asked good-naturedly.

"Kicked out, huh. That's no fun!" Tia pouted then smirked and set down the flag against the wall and walked over to the railing. Her lips twitched into a wide smile at the thought of seeing her foster family once more. Without warning, the girl jumped over the side and landed roughly on the ground. "Ssshhhhh- ouch," she groaned and kicked her feet a little, turning to look back at the ship and waited for the others to join.

Tikana then deppened her voice "Yes brother let's" She then said
"Damn her voice just......She could be an actress" Koji then said amazed
"Yea she sounds like a guy......i hope she doesn't screw up and do anything girly" Ray then added
"Quit jinxing me you Shit-head" She said in a manly voice as she thought to herself Man this is fun
"Ok Tikana sorry" Ray said a little frightened

Chris swung an arm roughly around Tikana's neck, pulling her into a choke hold. "Don't worry. I'll keep her in shape," She tightened her grip momentarily, then released her. "Let's all meet back here, deal?"
"Yeah, whatever," Gray muttered as he walked off the Inferno. "I'm gonna get something to drink. Wanna come, Forest?" He called.
Chris ran out after him, smacking his forehead in the process, just to annoy him. "Later, loser!" She called. "Let's go, Tiko!" She yelled to TIkana, coming up with the first name that came to mind. It was lame, but she didn't care. She laughed and disappeared into the city.
