HA HA! This has been sitting on my desktop since June! Yeah, I know, I'm a lazy bum… Actually I forgot I had this until a few days ago, and I'm a lazy bum. Well, here's the first chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Black Tsubasa

Nami's POV

I sighed, the cool night breeze felt good on my face, much better than stuffy air below deck that smelled strongly of curry and grog. I walked over and leaned on the railing looking up into the night sky. I had heard that you could see the most stars when you were out at sea, but had never taken the time to actually see if it was true, it most certainly was.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I gasped and turned toward the font of the ship. (A.N. please excuse my lack of ship terminology) Luffy was sitting down with his head tilted up toward the stars, with his straw hat covering his eyes. From where I was standing, it looked like he had one of Sanji's wine bottles from his private collection. I smiled and walked over and sat next to him.

"You know, Sanji is going to kill you when he found out that you took one of his prized wine bottles." He turned to me and smiled. There was something different about him; he had a look of sadness in his face.

"First of all, I have more than one." I look over his shoulder and saw a pile of bottles identical to the one he had in his hand. " And second, they are from my private collection, not his." I must have looked very confused, because he cracked a classic "Luffy Smile" and laughed for a short while.

" Okay, you've had your fun, now pass me a bottle." I asked breaking into a grin. His smile is so contagious sometimes. Luffy passed me a bottle and opened it for me, then took a swig from his half empty (or half full, you pick and choose) and leaned his head back again.

" You know, if you drink all of that you'll make yourself sick, and I don't think everyone else will want to take orders from a seriously drunk captain." He laughed again. "Now, when you say the rest of the crew, do you mean you too, or would you like to take advantage of a handsome captain, like myself?" We both laughed and took another swig of the wine. Though it had looked like Luffy had had at least one and a half bottles, his words didn't seem slurred at all. We sat in silence for a few minutes, drinking our wine. Then Luffy discarded his empty bottle and opened a new one.

"So what's your reason?" Luffy asked, his eyes closed, taking another drink.

"What?"

Luffy looked at me," Well, if you are up here, drinking a large bottle of expensive and strong wine, something must be up. It's not like we all suddenly wake up and leave the comfort of our cabins in the dead of night just to drink a bottle or two of wine, or rum, or ale…" Luffy continued rambling on but I wasn't listening. Though he did have a point. I took another drink. Sinking back onto the railing, closing my eyes. He stopped talking.

"You still haven't told me you reason yet Nami,"

"Will it really matter, you will be to drunk to remember anyway." I opened my eyes and look at him, slightly tilting my head. "Why don't you tell me your reason?"

" Not until you tell me."

I sighed, he just doesn't give up, does he. "Fine. I just couldn't sleep."

He smiled and gave a small laugh. " So you do have something on your mind but don't want to tell me."

I looked at him defensively, " I don't!' He just laughed again. This isn't how he acts, I always thought that he had no common sense and a love for food, but there is something different about him, he seems so much more, mature.

"There has to be a reason why you couldn't sleep, and since you won't tell me, it's obviously something bad." I would have never thought to look at it like that.

" Okay," I started, " Now tell me why you're here," he looked away, I caught a glimpse of his eyes, they showed sadness… sadness and pain.

" I just couldn't sleep either," he turned and smiled at me, but it was a fake one. Is he hiding something too? Finally, all of the wine started to kick in. I looked at my bottle. Empty. I don't think I have drunk this much in a long time. I lean on Luffy's shoulder, closing my eyes.

Luffy POV

I sighed and carefully lifted up Nami. She wrapped her arms around my neck and rested her head on my shoulder again. I slowly carried her down to her cabin and gently placed her in her bed.

"Any other man would guiltlessly take advantage of you Nami." I smiled. I turned and started to walk towards the door. Stopping and turning for a brief moment.

"You wouldn't understand anyways."

Now, where did I place those wine bottles…

There you have it! Sorry for the switching POV, I'll try hard not to do that anymore, but I couldn't figure out how to work this one without the change. Thougf if you think that it is too confusing to read without the changes, feel free to email me at Just make sure to specify that it is to the lack Tsubasa (Not the White). I plan on making this VERY clear. If I don't get reviews I'm going to assume you hate it and never ever write again. So review! I'm hoping to get at least 10 before I post again, so write some!
