Ahem... So... I'm really writing a lot lately. No idea what happened all of a sudden. >.> But uh... I enjoy it! *grin* I don't care how temporary this is, when my usual author's block will fall back to place. For now I'm just going to feel very happy about me ebing able to write some small stuff. *grin*
So... Since during the last few days I've written on requests, first that FCCF for Ranger and then that Haku-piece for C I think it's time to go with the request I got first! I did say I would try to write at least a little bit more for the ninja-pirates in the sky while you were in Holland, didn't I Em? *smile* So I just wrote a tiny bit more on it! ^^ And wow did this piece surprise me a lot...
So I almost feel like doing one of those commentary-thingies with this fic as well, especially since that would give you a chance to get into my mind a little with this fic which could be kind of fun since it's sort of your fic too, don't you think? ^^
I might write another entry at some point today with everything I've written so far (which isn't that much hehe but still!) and commenting on it. I think that could help me solve some stuff too since I don't have everything figured out about this fic yet. *ponders*
Reminding posts:
the intro and
what happens right before this (+that weird little Kakashi/Naruto-convo-thingie that doesn't really count yet XD).
Okay!

Sasuke used his left hand to gently steer Hawk while using his right to sign orders to his crew. Shouting out orders would of course alert their prey and since that was the last thing they wanted, especially with a ship of this size, they all used a sign language unique for the team.
Somehow, Sasuke had noticed after they just had started with this strategy a couple of years ago, it also improved the teamwork. Probably because they couldn't yell at each other but instead had to pay close attention to each other to be able to communicate properly - and with the crew paying close attention to each other came strange friendships and understandings as well.
Sasuke couldn't say he was unhappy with the outcome. After all; it just made him run a really tight ship - something that had saved them more than once in their… adventurous lifestyle. Bad communication had been the death of many pirates before them, and Sasuke wasn’t keen on the idea to fall victim for something as simple as that.
He quickly signed to them to get themselves ready before using both hands to manoeuvre his ship. Hawk where now underneath Konoha, following the bigger ship stealthily on the left side. When he had managed to get the exact angle he wanted he pulled a small level to make Hawk raise upward.
Sasuke could almost feel the ship vibrate under his hands, having all that energy trapped inside like this. She was completely electric at the moment, ready to burst off at full speed but for now being eerily quiet to not betray her crew. Sasuke felt his own chakra react as well to this tension - almost sending sparks between him and the ship that was his home, life and freedom.
They finally reached the perfect height and he swiftly signed off orders to the people intently watching him. Immediately Hawk's crew went into action. With quiet expertise, that only a lot of practise can give you, they walked over to the bigger ship. Sasuke left Hawk in the care of a few of his men before sneaking over to Konoha as well.
This was extremely risky - they all knew that. They were going onto one of the best ships in the world to retrieve a weapon that they didn't even know what it was. It was crazy, but all knew that Sasuke wasn't exactly sane when it came to dealing with his older brother, and they couldn't help but follow Sasuke no matter what. He gave them so much after all, usually his raids where complete genius! So what was one little crazy coup? Right?
And the truth was that they would follow him anywhere.

Seriously... So many surprises for me in this little piece of writing. *shakes head* It didn't turn out as expected at all.
Anyway! Next scene would be Naruto's POV! XD And it includes fangirling, the first meeting between the boys, Naruto being an idiot and Sasuke being an idiot. *snicker* (wow... that almost sounds more exciting than it is *tilts head*) Let's see when I'll be able to write it.
And like I said; you guys can pretty much expect at least one more post from me today with commentary. *nods*
