Amazon Lily - Back and see you soon

The days passed and finally a week had passed since Kaito and Tashigi arrived at Amazon Lily. During that time, Tashigi spent every day training alongside the Kuja pirates, in the end she became friends with them. On the contrary, Kaito not leaving the palace so much did not interact so much with the inhabitants of the island, with the exception of people who could enter the palace. The few occasions on which he left, he was always accompanied by Hancock, and most people did not dare to intrude between the two.

This morning, Kaito was having breakfast with Hancock. Tashigi had already left to train, so now they were alone.

Kaito - it has been a whole week and they will surely call me back to headquarters very soon -

Hancock - I expected you to stay longer here on the island -

Kaito - I can't, since I have to pick up my second at hand, which will surely come to Marineford -

Hancock - second in command, of your crew? -

Kaito - yes -

Hancock - I thought Tashigi was your second in command -

Kaito - no, she will be my second-in-command's assistant -

Hancock - I see -

Hancock did not realize that during the conversation Kaito avoided mentioning the generated of his second in command. Kaito could imagine how she would react if she knew that the second in command in his crew was a woman. But the real problem was that Hancock asked what relationship he had with Kalifa. Fortunately for Kaito, this did not happen.

The morning passed normally, Kaito was on a balcony reading sitting on a deck chair covered by a parasol. Hancock is just like him sitting on a deck chair, but she wasn't reading just watching Kaito without him noticing.

Hancock - (I could not make any progress against Kaito, at this rate Kaito will leave the island soon and I don't know how long it will take to see him again) -

Hancock had been trying to get closer to Kaito for days, but she always ended up embarrassing and did nothing. For his part, Kaito tried to pretend not to realize it.

Kaito - (if I start to listen to Hancock, I will have many problems in the future of that I am sure) -

Kaito could say he liked Hancock, but he also liked other girls he had met in the past. First, there was Hina, with her I get to have a somewhat complex relationship due to their activities between the two during their baths. Second, there was Robin, at first Kaito only felt the need to protect Robin, but over time he lived with her, he came to appreciate her a lot, and although he did not know if they would meet again in the future, Kaito was eager to do what. Third, Kalifa, she had been the woman she has been with the longest, and of course, living with her for so many years led Kaito to feel something for her. As for Tashigi, Kaito had been with her for a short time, and he was interested in her vision of justice that she had, and sometimes she saw her as a little sister. And finally there was Hancock. Kaito initially did not want to be in contact with her, but after what happened years ago, Kaito just met her in person and even got to know Hancock's past by her own words, after this Kaito could only feel some compassion for her past, but over time she could not deny that she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen and being close to her made Kaito change her emotions towards her.

Kaito had no problem with starting a relationship with any of the girls, but it was not clear who to choose. Kaito could tell that the girls he met had different levels of feelings for him. But all this complicated it more.

It was not that Kaito had never dreamed of forming a harem, but one thing was to desire it and another was to make it happen. Kaito knew there was no restriction in this world about polygamy. But if he hadn't even had a relationship in his past life, Kaito thought that a harem would be a very complicated thing to do.

These were the reasons why he always tried to keep some distance between him and Hancock.

Noon passed quietly and when the afternoon ended to give way to the night, Enishida came with a message.

Enishida - hebihime-sama -

Hancock - what happens Enishida? -

Enishida - they have contacted us through den den mushi, the men of Kaito-san -

Kaito - have you left any message? -

Enishida - yes, they say that the navy headquarters orders that you and your ship return as soon as possible -

Kaito - as soon as possible? -

Enishida - yes, they didn't mention much, but they said there was a mission for you -

Kaito - I see, thank you very much -

Enishida then left the room leaving Hancock and Kaito alone.

Kaito - apparently I have to go back sooner than I thought -

Hancock - it's a shame, I would have liked you to stay longer -

Kaito - I have no alternative, can you ask them to bring Tashigi here? -

Hancock - yes -

Hancock came out for a moment and then returned telling her that she had already ordered them to call Tashigi. Half an hour later she arrived.

Tashigi - Kaito-san, did you call me? -

Kaito - yes, we have been ordered to return to headquarters -

Tashigi - then we will leave? -

Kaito - yes, prepare your stuff, we will leave immediately, apparently we have to go back quickly -

Tashigi - ok! -

Tashigi left for her room to collect her belongings. Kaito by his side also went to his room to collect his own.

Hancock - it wouldn't be better to leave tomorrow morning and have dinner here -

Kaito - thanks for the offer, but I have the feeling that I have to return quickly as indicated -

Hancock watched as Kaito headed to his room.

Hancock - (since he won't be staying for dinner, I'll prepare some food for him to take) -

Another half hour later, Kaito and Tashigi were in the square in front of the palace. There the Kuja pirates and several Amazons had gathered to say goodbye to Tashigi, on the other hand, Hancock's sisters were also there just like old Nyon.

Nyon - although there have been few conversations we've had, it's been nice meeting you boy -

Kaito - equally old Nyon -

Tashigi - I hope to see each other again Ran -

Ran - it's been nice to meet you Tashigi, make sure you continue training -

Tashigi - yes! -

Hancock - you'll be back, isn't it? -

Kaito - yes, but I don't know when, it will surely be quite a while -

Hancock was sad to hear Kaito's words. Kaito saw this and couldn't help getting close to her and giving her a hug.

Kaito - take care Hancock -

Hancock - ah ah ah -

Hancock didn't know how to react to Kaito's hug. when she was about to speak, a new action by Kaito paralyzed her. Kaito walked away and before stepping back he kissed Hancock's right cheek.

This time Hancock couldn't take it anymore and almost passed out.

Marigold / Sandersonia - ane-sama !!! -

Kujas - hebihime-sama !!! -

Hancock could hold on and stand, her face was red like a tomato and she held her cheeks with her hands also covering her eyes.

Hancock - a ... a ... has kissed me! -

Kaito could not bear the shame of his actions and took Tashigi off the waist again. Which looked at him with a "what are you doing?" Face.

Tashigi - kyaa! -

Kaito - well, we're leaving, bye! -

Kaito began to jump through the air and get more and more away from the people gathered in the square.

They all watched as the two moved away quickly and disappeared from view.

Nyon - he's a good boy, I hope he comes back soon -

Nyon saw Kaito leave and then returned home, leaving all the amazons surprised by Kaito's latest actions and Hancock's response to them.

Hancock - a kiss, a kiss, has given me a kiss ... -

That way Kaito and Tashigi left Amazon Lily. After jumping for a few minutes through the air, Kaito and Tashigi arrived at the ship.

Marines - welcome! -

Kaito - inform me of the situation -

Marine - yes sir, a few hours ago the headquarters contacted us and ordered us to return immediately, apparently there is a mission for us -

Kaito - okay, then start marching towards Marineford immediately -

Marines - yes sir -

Kaito - Tashigi, you can go back to your room and rest, you did not have the opportunity due to the current situation -

Tashigi - thanks, then I retire -

Kaito watched Tashigi enter the ship.

Going back to Amazon Lily.

Hancock - ahhh, I forgot to deliver the food that prepares Kaito !! -

Hancock had entertained herself thinking about the kiss on the cheek Kaito had given her and had completely forgotten to give her the food she had expressly prepared for him. Now she had changed from being very happy to being sad for her carelessness in forgetting about it.
