Suspicion
Cold. Cold night. Hands freezing. Need to breathe on them to feel warm. Mirror's blurred. Moisture, the cause. Hand wiped it to see clearly the reflecting image. Shivering. Body shivering. Emotionless. The face was emotionless. Mind, absent. SNAP! Eyes blinked. There was loneliness… sadness… Eyes never lie. Total silence says it all.
She got up early, sat down her chair outside the deck and grabbed the newspaper. Nothing was new. Same old news.
"Ohayou, Nami-san."
She was surprised by the soothing voice behind her, turned her head and saw the blue-haired princess smiling at her.
"Ohayou, Vivi-san," she greeted her back with a smile also.
The princess moved to her side and looked above the sky, watched the seagulls flying and the cirrus clouds that were slowly moving.
"Nice weather we have today."
For a while, Nami was stunningly looking at her. Then she was back in her mind.
"Yah, hope we'll have this same kind of weather throughout our voyage until we reach the next island."
Vivi was still admiring the view of the sky. Nami looked at her, thought for a while, and then went back to reading her newspaper. She was at peace already when Zoro's loud yawn disturbed her. She didn't know he was just lying near her. She made the same annoying look, lifted an eyebrow. Sudden surprise she had when Vivi went quickly in front of Zoro, bent her back and rested her hands on her knees. With glimmering eyes and a real sweet smile, she greeted the awakened swordsman.
"Ohayou, Mr. Bushido."
It kind of took a while before the idea had traveled into Zoro's mind.
"Oh, ohayou."
He slowly stood up with his knees then tapped Vivi's left shoulder as he walked towards the end of the ship. Vivi was still in her bent position. Her smile on her pretty face got even bigger. There was sparkle in her eyes. Nami saw that. It was evident that she was very happy.
Nami paused for a while. A total shock, she felt. Her eyes blinked, and blinked once more. Her mind was running, but really can't organize her thoughts. SNAP! She was back in her mind.
Vivi happily followed Zoro, and stood beside him. They were just there, standing side by side, watching together the movement of the current of the ocean, the seagulls flying, the clouds moving, everything that can be seen.
Nami watched both of them, then went back to her newspaper again. She was reading it, words passed through her head, but never retained. She definitely didn't understand what she was reading. Her eyes were on the articles, but not her mind.
She already knew something was going on.
She didn't like it.

It's been a long time since i have written a fanfic. So sorry if this is a mess. Now I have realized that I don't know how to write a story anymore. This was supposed to be a one shot only, but obviously it didn't work out. Waaaah!!! Just proves I'm losing my skills. But feel free to give any comments or suggestions coz I really still haven't figured out how I would continue this story. (",)
