Summary: Nami leaves and no one really knows why, all her note said was it was something she needed to do for herself. No one knew the truth, except for maybe a little reindeer man. Now three years later the crew lands on an island where they run into Nami again, along with a little suprise named Star.
"Chopper, promise me you wont tell anyone about this," cried the red head as she looked down at the little reindeer man. Her eyes pleading and wide, at the same time though they also held a note of sadness and desperation.
"Uh… sure, Nami, I won't tell anyone," said Chopper as he looked up at her, confusion written across his face. She sighed with relief and wiped away a few tears that had fallen down her cheeks.
"Thank you, I just, I don't want the others to know, not yet anyway," she mumbled. Chopper nodded still a little confused, he was curious why this upset Nami so much. He had thought by the way she'd acted when she'd begged him to do the test that she would be happy with the news.
"I'm going to go out on the deck now, and please Chopper remember, I don't want anyone to know," she said, before standing up and wiping her eyes one last time of tears. Nami tucked a strand of hair behind her ear then left the reindeer man alone in the sick room as she walked out and onto the deck. Stepping out she looked around at her other crew mates scattered about the deck. Luffy was bugging Sanji to get him some meat as usual, seeing as it was close to meal time. While Brooks was tuning up his violin. Usopp and Franky were busy working on some kind of contraption. Hearing a giggle behind her, Nami glanced back only to wish she hadn't, for there stood Robin with HIS arms around her.
He, being Zoro, Nami turned away after watching them for a moment or two, she bit her lower lip as she walked towards the front of the Merry Go and rested against the rail looking out at the sea. It'd been a year, now since they'd found the treasure, yet the gang had yet to split up. But as she looked out to the sea Nami knew that was about to change. Tonight in fact, she planned to leave as soon as the others had gone to bed. She couldn't stay here, on this boat much longer. Not as long as she had to watch Zoro and Robin together. And not after what Chopper had told her.
*FlashBack*
The gang had just gotten back from a night of partying on an island they'd stopped at after helping the people with a serious problem. The same way they always did, the others however, were a little tipsy. Unlike Nami, who hadn't felt much like drinking that night as she watched the others party, now she leaned against the rail of the ship looking up at the night sky when she heard someone come and join her. She didn't have to even look over to know who it was, the sudden jolt of electricity gave her enough clues that it was Zoro. She couldn't explain it, but over the last few years she'd developed strong feelings for the green haired swordsman, she had been unsure of his feelings for her though, that is until he started to spend more and more time with Robin.
Now that same swordsman, spoke, "Oi, what's with you tonight girl? You didn't drink as much like you normally do?" She could smell the strong liquor on his breath and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. He was looking directly at her, his eyes a little hazy, but they seemed intense as they looked at her. She rested the urge to shudder under his gaze, as she shrugged.
"I just didn't feel much like drinking tonight is all," she said. Then it fell silent, they stayed that way for a while, but before she knew what was happening Nami found herself pinned against the railing of the ship. Zoro standing in front of her, suddenly his lips came crashing down onto her's. Not knowing what to do, she considered kissing him back until she remembered he was with Robin. Placing her hands on his chest, Nami gave a shove and pushed the Zoro away from her.
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
"I was kissing you," he replied, his speech slurred.
"Zoro, you cant, we cant," she said sharply.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Well for starter's how about the fact that your in a relationship with Robin, and second you're absolutely drunk." She said.
He smirked, before moving closer to her once more. "First of all," he said, "I'm not that drunk, I know what I'm doing, and second I like you Nami. Always have." Though she knew the first part was false, seeing as how she could smell the strong alcohol on him. She looked up into his eyes for the second part, and could only see lust in them. Then without warning, the swordsman brought his lips down once more to the navigator's and without thinking on it anymore, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Pulling back a little, Zoro looked down at her with a smirk, before sweeping her up and carrying her back to the cabins.
*End Flash Back*
She had known it was stupid, yet she hadn't objected to him at all that night. It wasn't until the next morning that she'd woken up and realized the stupidity in her mistake, that she'd dressed quickly and left his room before anyone else was up. Now, just a few months after that mistake, here she was looking out at the sea, while everyone went about their business, and the lovebirds laughed with each other on the upper deck. She made her plan. Nami knew there was an island with a village not to far from here, she would go there.
A few hours later night had fallen, and everyone had gone to bed. Everyone except for Nami, who now snuck up onto the deserted deck. A bag full of her clothes slung over her shoulder and a note in her hand. Placing the note where she knew it would be seen by the others in the morning Nami made her way over to a smaller life boat at the side of the ship. Placing her bag in it she managed to crawl in it and lower herself down to the water below. Cutting the ropes tying the lifeboat, She headed off giving only one last farewell glance to the ship that had pretty much been her home for the past few years. Turning now, she focused on what lay ahead. On getting to a place where she could call home, not just for herself, but for the child she was carrying. Yes the child, her child, their child, HIS child.
