Bakugou Katsuki:

His foot tapped against the wooden planks beneath his feet, his narrowing on the piece of parchment he had just received from his trusty seabird. The note was written in near perfect calligraphy... addressing his demands and how he would not be paying them.

Bakugou growled, thinking all the wasted work he had done to get the ransom, send it out and having to keep his new prisoner alive... all for this asshole to basically say he didn't give a shit.

The ash blonde captain rose from his seat, moving towards the exit of his private quarters and entering the main deck. The sun was shining brightly, no sense of panic in the world for once on this ship of thieves and plunderers.

"Captain." He was greeted by a few members of his crew, giving him a nod before continuing on with their duties and orders.

Bakugou's lips pushed out more, a cross between a nasty scowl and a pitiful frown on his lips. Just how the hell does this sort of thing happen? And why the hell did it have to happen to him of all people?

"Captain." His first mate greeted him.

Bakugou glanced at the red-haired pirate, seeing the same red bandana holding back the spiked up locks, bits of black poking through his roots. Looking to Bakugou like his first mate would be picking up some of that new fancy 'hair dye' stuff next time the made port.

"Unlock the quarters... I want to talk to our new little guest." He grumbled, Kirishima nodding to his demands.

"Whatever you say, captain!" He nodded, fishing out the key to the cell. "Her rich fiance coming to get her now?"

Bakugou's eyes fell, sending a shiver up the other male's spine. The look of pure hatred and anger crossing over the already scary features... thus making it look even worse then Kirishima would have thought.

"No."

Kirishima merely nodded, unlocking the cell and allowing his captain to do whatever he saw fit. He knew that it would be best if he stopped asking questions at this point and simply continued to watch the door as ordered.

Bakugou stepped into the small room, seeing as his hostage was still holding up in her confines. She glanced up at him, eyes tearing away from the book she had been reading. Her gaze seeming unimpressed at seeing her kidnapper.

"I didn't know a woman like you would be able to read." Bakugou spat, his harsh nature showing off well thanks to this unforeseen turn of events.

"I didn't know a scoundrel like you would have any literature on board this vessel." You spoke in the tone of a noble. "But I suppose looks do not always make the person, do they?"

He clicked his tongue, seeing that despite the shackles on her legs, keeping her from running far or escaping, this woman seemed unimpressed and frankly almost amused by this entire situation around her.

"I assume my fiance got back to you..." She mumbled, turning a page. "And as such, I believe he's told you that he'll not be paying whatever demands you made for my life."

Bakugou's teeth gritted, looking at this high-class wench with raging pupils. She knew of this? Why the hell would she seem so calm about this all then? Getting kidnapped by pirates would scare the shit out of any normal fucking person... yet she seemed completely fine with it all!

"And why the hell are you so damn calm then, wench?"

"Because I had come to this conclusion from the moment you place a hand over my mouth and removed me from my bedroom one week ago."

Bakugou growled, making her turn her gaze to look at him. He walked forward, grabbing his knife from its scabbard and hitting the wood near where she was sitting. Her eyes widened slowly, seeing how aggressive this situation had turned. Softly, she closed her book and moved away a few locks of (Hair Color) that had gotten in her eyes from glancing down at the novel.

"Start talking... or the next time... it'll be your skin my blade goes into, got it?"

She nodded slowly, actual fear residing in her chest. While thus far (Name) had not faced any hostilities from her captives, a few even giving her items she requested as to not get bored, the captain himself seemed the more foul of them all.

So... she might as well try to get on this good side and allow her life to continue for a bit longer by doing what he says and not causing him too much trouble.

Clearing her throat, Bakugou's attention was brought to her.

"We were part of an arranged marriage. My father's company couldn't be run by a woman... and thus... he decided to give its shares over to my fiance and his family."

"That seems pretty damn normal for your noble life..."

"Yes... and while I was fine marrying him... after all, it meant I could live peacefully... I was unaware of what he was hiding."

"And what the hell would that be?"

"He had someone already... a girl who his own father had forbidden him from marrying and starting a family with. But now that I am no longer in the picture and my father's assets already passed over upon the marriage agreement... he sees no use for me.

If I may speak so boldly... he probably wouldn't even bat an eye if you ended up tossing me overboard. He was always rather cold towards me... so this wasn't too unexpected..."

Bakugou's eyes narrowed, looking at you with eyes that held a lot of hostile emotions and attitudes. You sighed, leaning back into the wall. The wood was old and creaked from the slightest pressure, but it was still strong enough to support you.

"So... what becomes of me now? You do have other options..."

He clicked his tongue. "Like what?"

"You could sell me as a slave, or keep me as your own. You could always try to bride my own family... as a result, start a war between the nobility. And if you were to search my breast pocket, you'd find a medallion of my family... thus giving you proof I am who I am, and as a result, my price would increase. Plenty of options Captain."

Bakugou rose a brow, chuckling once. He removed his knife from the wood, placing it once more back into the scabbard. You watched him do so, seeing as he stood up next, reaching forward and putting a key into the shackles around your feet.

A small click was heard and you blinked and the chains came off. Bakugou shrugged, tossing the book back at you. You looked at him strangely, not sure what exactly he was up to. Though you knew for certain he would not be setting you free... your value was too high.

"Well... how about while I decide what to do with your wealthy ass... you can wander around freely on one condition..."

"And what would that be exactly?" You inquired.

The captain laughed again, looking at you with mischievous eyes. "My crew is as dumb as shit... so teach 'em how to read and you can have a meal and a place to sleep for as long as I see your worth here."

Your lips parted but soon formed into a thin smirk. "Whatever you say, captain. Just tell me where to start..."

He nodded, knocking on the door to let you both out. And as he escorted you out, his mind could only think of how interesting this rich woman was... and how many more strange parts of her laid under the surface of her noble face.

But only time would tell... and he looked forward to finding out
