Ash glared, "I'd still like to meet him! I mean ... he just wanted to get away from it all! He was a test subject, i dont blame him for leaving." she said, looking at Gene seriously, "And there are things i would like to ask the guy anyway." Kefka nodded.

Gene nodded slowly."I'm sorry I spoke before thinking." he said quietly."I should have thought about how you felt." said Gene looking back up at Ash. He felt really stupid and his face felt hot. He placed a hand on his face.

"Don't worry about it." Ash said with a slight nod, "I suppose it might sound strange to an outsider so ... it doesn't matter." Kefka walked sligtly ahead and sat in a clearing. "Here we go." Ash said as sher eached the clearing aswell and stood in the centre. She unravelled the food parcel and gave some bread to Kefka.

Gene looked around the clearing and then back to Ash and Kefka. Gene's stomach rumbled as he saw the piece of bread. his hand automatically went to the pouch on his side. He opened it and up and dumped the contents out onto his hand. There were a few crackers and and some slted pork. He ate his small meal as he watched Kefka."So do you have any idea where to start?" he asked.

"I just know to look for an abandoned building ... probably in the mountains somewhere." Ash said as she broke off a bit of bread and passed it to Gene. She then ate some meat from the package. Kefka happily ate his food as he lay down. Ash continued, "But apart from that ... i'll just follow my nose."

Gene nodded his thanks as he took the bread and ate it."So you have his scent already?' he asked after finishing the bread. He reattached the pouch to his side and wiped off his hands. He wondered how long it would take to trach down one person in an entire world. He could be anywhere and if he was out at sea it would be almost impossible to find him.

"I caught a scent similar to mine not so long ago, and it was headed into the mountains ... it's been fading since then but i'm sure i'll be able to find him atleast within a couple of weeks." Ash nodded. "And Kefka is going to be helping me too." she added with a small smile as she stroked the wolf, "And if i don't meet him this time ... i will keep trying."

Gene really didn't understand how scents worked. He let out a soft sigh as he gave up trying to figure it out. He walked over to a large tree and sat down."What are you going to do after you find him?" he asked. After asking that he started to think about his future after being a pirate.

Ash thought about it and after a while silence she answered, "... To be honest, i have no idea. I don't remember him and i doubt he remembers me ... i dont know what i will say to him or how to introduce myself. I guess i will just 'go with the flow' as they say." she nodded and went about eating some bread.

"I'm guessing it might freak him out if you walk up to him saying' Hello my name is Ash and I'm your daughter.'" said Gene as he crossed his arms. He reached for his axe and then set it aside. It was uncomfortable having it on his back all the time but Grandpa said he had to get used to it. He looked over the axe and its metal handle.

Ash chuckled quietly, "It would be a funny sight to see though. He's supposed to be a big tough mutant." she tilted her head in thought and studied Gene's axe, "Do you have other weapons?" she asked, "Besides that? And is it hard to use? Looks kind of heavy."

Gene nodded,"I have two swords from a diffrent land. Smithers told me that they were called 'Katanas'. But I usually only use the axe when I go berserk but I had no choice today he said. Its kind of hard to use but Grandpa forced me to use it ever since I was strong enough to lift it." he said as he remembered the first time he had lifted it he fell over.

"Katanas? I have one of those." Ash said, "But i hid it elsewhere for now. I prefer to use my bare hands, i feel i have more control fighting like that and besides, i was bought up fighting like an animal." Kefka rested his head on Ash's leg as she stroked him.

Gene thought of the wierd swords that he had obtained a few day ago."Do you know where they come from? I'm sure my father would like to know about them." he said. His dad was completley devoted to making new weapons and discovering new ways to improve the durability and strength of steel. he remmbered how he would spend days looked up and would here the sounds of hammering comming from the workshop.

"Oh they are from a place called 'Japan' i think ... in the east somewhere ... their warriors are very well trained in using them. They also have Wakizashi and Tanto ... i believe they are smaller versions of the katana." Ash replied. She was no sword expert but she did know where her sword had come from, infact, Kefka was the one who got it for her.

"Ja-pan." said Gene saying the word. He comited it to memory and nodded. "I hope I can go there someday." he said thinking of the warriors that were there. "Maybe they could teach me how to use them better or even get better ones." he said with a twinkle in his eye. He looked back at his axe."But even then they couldn't replace this." he said patting it.

Ash raised an eyebrow, "Good luck with that ... im sure they do not just give away their code to pirates. But anyway ... i think if that axe were a lady, you would marry it wouldn't you?" she chuckled slightly. Her blue eyes glistened in the sunlight that shone through the trees as she watched Gene with interest. She was beginning to think he was a little crazy. Kefka started to fall asleep.

Gene mind began to wander as he began to think of an awnser. An image of him with his axe at a wedding popped up into his head. He shivered and then looked at it."... No...." he said sligthly creeped out by his own imgination."Its just very dear to me almost like a family heirloom." he said with a smile.

Ash nodded, "Sure ... " she smiled a little and shook her head. She turned to Kefka and patted him on the head, "Well i don't know about heirlooms and all that ... but Kefka is very dear to me. He's like a brother to me. I know that sounds strange but ... i can talk to him and that so it's not like we dont have conversations." she smiled even more, "He's the first real friend i've ever had."

Gene sighed sadly."I never had any siblings so I wouldn't know what thats like." he said as he remmbered asking for a baby brother when he was little. He looked to Kefka and then to Ash."But an heirloom is like having a piece of a person with you even when they are gone." he said looking at the ae and smiling."This axe is only so dear to me because it remonds me of my family."

"Hmm ... i understand now." Ash nodded, "... Then i guess it doesnt matter that i have nothing from my family because i never knew them. It wouldn't be special." she looked upwards, "You know ... the more you talk, the less like a pirate you seem." she said shaking her head, "This world is so strange sometimes ..."

"Its not like I've been a pirate all my life. Infact I hate some of the things pirates do. I hate drinking and smoking. I stop my fellow crew members from killing children and women. " said Gene as he thought of some of his crew members."But I love the sea, battle, and the pay.' he said looking at the sky.

"Well i suppose that's very noble of you." Ash said, tilting her head, "But did you ever want to be something else? Like have a different way of life?" She asked with interest. She hadn't ever thought about what she'd be but she was very curioys about Gene. She liked to ask questions to get to know a person better so that she might be able to trust them.

"When I was little I wanted to be a blacksmith like my father." he said smiling," but Grandpa took up so much of my childhood training me to be a berserker that I never got a chance to learn. But now that I'm nineteen I'm too lod to learn the craft and join the crafting guild my father belongs to. But other then that I've always wanted to be a berserker. Ever since I saw grandpa slice through a boulder." he said smiling.

"Pretty powerful stuff." Ash said, referring to the beserker strengh. She looked down at her claws, "So did you like spend any time with your other family members? Because your grandfather seems to have taken a lot of your life ... im not sure if that's a good or bad thing." she added afterwards.

"Even though he took up alot of my time I would sneak away every once in awhile and do stuff with my father. He would tell me about swords and take me on trips to sell his swords he even took me fishing a few times." he said remmbering his dad."My mother didn't like the fact that I was going to be a berserker but she still supported me. She thought me how to cook and sow." he said looking down his face slightly red.

Ash laughed, "You're more of a lady than i am." she joked, raising her head slightly, "I don't know how to cook or sew ... actually all i know is how to fight really. I never spent a lot of time with people to learn stuff like that. I lived with a pack of rats for a long time - no human contact. And at the facility i was raised to fight so ... i cant do normal things like other people. It's quite sad really but, me and Kefka survive well enough."

Gene sighed he had never told anyone that his mother taught him how to sow. Even though it wasn't an appropriate skill for a bersker it came in handy when he ripped his clothes in battle. He nodded and was about to mention how they steal to survive but then shut up before saying anything. He did the same thing they did."Why did you live in the sewers?" he asked trying to get of the subject of how he knew how to sow.

Ash closed her eyes as she answered, "After my adopted family were killed, i went to live on the streets but i found it difficult. Being a mutant meant that i was bullied ... and the other kids teased me. I hated humans so much, i jusy wanted to get away. One day i dropped a penny down into the sewers and went to fetch it ... i didn't come back up for a good few years. Living down there was peaceful and the rats believe it or not were quite friendly ... they used to leave me crumbs of food." she smiled at the memory.

Gene stared as he heard the story."All because of a penny." he said holding in a laugh. He looked at her."So you lived with the rats for awhike and then what happened?" he asked wanting to here what happened next.
