Fire rose from the main masts sail, burning black smoke drifted into the never ending horizon of the sea. Naruto looked up from the floating debris that had come from the ship, looking up at the ship he had called home. Drifting near by was the body of his first mate, Haku. He never would have become a pirate if Haku hadn't suggested it. He owed Haku, he wouldn't be living the life he was, if it weren't for him. The salt water burned his eyes, and filled his mouth. Life would never be the same without his home, the Black Depths. He felt the water ripple violently, he turned frantic for a sign of life from anyone even if it was that cur, Neji. He would miss him his smart_alecky comments about his hair, even if he thought the beads and red bandana was still cool. He felt it again the water WAS vibrating something was moving beneath him. Suddenly tentacles shot up from the black depths of the ocean.
Searching the wreck for survivors, 'What the hell is THAT?!' Naruto thought, scrambling to get all of his body onto the piece of debris that still read clearly, ptains Cabi, and broke off at the end. Tentacles grabbed at everything, almost frantically. Searching for a soul that had yet to be claimed by Davy Jones. Naruto screamed as the tentacle finally closed around his leg, pulling him into the black abyss. The water pressure was too much for his body, he never felt himself slip from this world to the next. He just remembered the despair as he broke free of the monster and almost reached the surface. The monster grabbed him again, Naruto desperately tried to reach the surface.
The monster was dangling freedom in his face on purpose. The creature brought Naruto to its face, he stared defiantly at his captor. The monster looked at him with an almost child-like fashion. Naruto felt himself slipping from the light, and evidently so did the creature. He felt a whoosh of life surge into his body as he blacked out from the pressure of the water built on him.
