Journey to the East, or otherwise titled "hP goes to Singapore" II

Ever since hP decided to go to the most wondrous, well-sought, gold-filled Singapore, they had been sailing in the sea on a big ship that was destined for the land.
tetsu stared miserably at the sea; little stars twirled in his eyes and his hands were shaky as he lifted them up.
"Oh, when doth this accursed voyage end? My feet doth yearneth solid ground." He complained to himself.
yukihiro, who had been inside the ship all along, came on board the deck, with a huge grin on his face. "tetchan! We doth find gold on our quest for Singapore, aye! The casino yonder, jackpot doth striketh thirteen times. Golden, silverish coins doth pour out, and I exchanged them for true bank notes."
Then, about exactly 1.99 seconds later, hP emerged onto the deck, his face a gloomy contrast of yukihiro's bright facade. "O, tetchan. I wrote a note for ten gold coins, and played Hearts. Mine gold was lost, into the grinning banker's trough."
"You wrong yourself to bet in such a case." tetsu's face was grim. The lost of gold had swimmed in his head enough to get rid of those swirling stars-- at least his lunch was saved before he vommited it out.
Immediately, hP's pride flared up (as did his nostrils), as he rolled his fists and hissed 'fit to beat jesus', "I'm an older piper, fitter maketh conditions than thou."
"Older you are, but fitter?" tetsu's head spun again, and he hurled over the banister.
"I say you are not," yukihiro told hP, patting tetsu on the back as the poor man lay draped helplessly against the deck's edge. "You lost ten gold coins, hP- that's about what I won."
"Did I say better?" hP tried his very best to sound misunderstood. "I said older, not better."
"If you did, I care not," yukihiro was not going to lose to the 'little piglet of a bet-ter'.
"You love me not."
"How true."
"Okay- tetchan loves me not." hyde turned towards the hull, and strode in bravery towards it. Climbing up so that he stood steadily and spreading his arms out for balance, he yelled, "Come, young waves, come, old sharks, devour mine unworthy flesh. Poor hP is blamed on by his brother, unloved by his tetsu, and checked and marked for every gold coin he lost at the casino. Take me, thy waves, with thy fury, and doth end this sorrow!"
"Oh, no! No, hP! Thine music, summoned by thine pipe and nimble fingers, ought to exist!" tetsu gasped, and climbed up behind hP, wrapping his arms around hP's slim waist. "Thou jump, I jump!"
"O, tetsu!"
"O, hP!"
"When I spoke that, I was filled with blood-ill grief." hP stared at the sky remorsefully, and looked outwards into the sea.
"And I from ill-stomached hydrochloric acid."
"Do you confess so much? Give me your hand."
"And my heart too," tetsu replied, his eyes shining with a thousand stars from the universe....
Before they knew it, both of them had let go of the banister, and it so happened that the ship was trying hard to avoid a glacier...
CRASH.
hP's face was embedded on the white ice of a cracked surface. They had... Crashed into a glacier!

"We've got him. hP ought be the tastiest piper in the world, for the music he doth summon charms every soul."
"Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu!!!"
Evil sniggers and laughter were heard inside the glacier cave, and due to echoes, the two Glacier-monsters sounded like a dozen gales. In fact, even though they were in the Atlantic Sea (nevermind why they wanted to travel by the Atlantic Ocean when the Suez Canal is available), they had long heard of hP's great qualities (and nevermind the fact that there was no way those glacier-monsters could have heard about hP, but it's for the sake of dramatism!).
And now... They will own hP by cooking him, chewing him, and digesting him in their stomachs!!!

***

p/s: and to get more readers' attention, one of the glacier monsters is Gackt, and the other Kyoshiya (kyo and toshiya merged into one). Stay tuned.
