Nori Kazuko sighed as she looked at her mini shovel. It was covered in thick solid mud. Nori was planting some 'Blue-Bell' flowers for a special day coming up.

Yes, Nori was celebrating her brother's birthday. The saddest thing yet is that he's dead. The Mugiwara-Kaizoku seems to be oblivious to her gardening of that rare flower for a special person. Actually, only two people know about it. Those two are Tony-Tony Chopper and Nico Robin.

Robin understands the pain that Nori is going through since it happened to her. Chopper really understands as well. The two of them are the best-buds of Nori Kazuko ever.

Nori sighed looking at her blistered hands. 'Ow, I need some medical tape.' She thought, putting her tools away as she headed to Chopper's room for some tape. Nori always got wounds from her gardening. Her gardening was the only thing she had left to remember her brother by.

Her brother was Suki Kazuko. He loved to garden as much as Nori did, but gardening ended his life quickly.

He was planting a rare golden-bell flower when some thugs came. Little did the thugs know Nori planted a 'Vince-Guardian' to protect the flowers? So, they were attacked, but Suki was killed in the result. Suki told Nori in a last desperate attempt not to blame Nori's self for the event.

Nori keeps telling herself she did it, and she will never EVER love anyone again. She might kill them. Her power was the Bain-Bain no Mi. The Vine-Vine fruit was her power. She never used it since Suki died so she relies on her hand to hand combat.

Anyway, she walked to his room. She knocked onto the door politely. She heard a 'come in', and she went into the room to be face to face with her hyperactive captain, Monkey D. Luffy. "!" She was shocked as some red blush covered her face. Yeah, Nori wasn't mute but she hated talking again. Some people could read her facial expressions and body language real well.

"Ne? Oh, hey Nori! What do you need?" Luffy asked, oblivious of how really close he was to her. His arms were bandaged from… well, Nori didn't know why.

"Nori, what happened to your hands?" Chopper asked.

Nori looked at her now bleeding hands. 'Shoot. I didn't know it was this badly wounded.' She thought. She grabbed her mini-shovel to explain the problem. She never ever talked.

"Oh, gardening again? We're near your home aren't we? And it's his day?" Chopper asked, realizing the sadness that Nori held. She was working so hard on the 'Blue-Bell' Flowers.

Nori nodded sadly. She looked at her hands. They were bleeding a lot! Chopper needed to hurry.

"Nani? Who's day? Nori, why don't you speak~ I don't understand what you're saying!" Luffy whined looking from Chopper to Nori. He forgot about the tension, and heard nothing.

Nori was faced with a big problem. Her captain wanted her to talk. Nori didn't wanna talk! 'What's this feeling? Don't tell me! I've fallen for… No, I promised I wouldn't after that.' She thought. After Chopper got her hands, Chopper left the room.

"Nori! Tell me! As your captain, I command you to speak!" Luffy said seriously. Now, he scared Nori really badly. He had a serious look on his face, meaning that he was so serious.

Nori was sad. She wished she could talk, but she couldn't. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes. She was shivering.

Luffy stopped what he was saying, and he looked at the site of Nori crying. He caused her to cry. He did! He now wanted to beat himself up for the kind of thing. Nori didn't do a thing. He walked right up to her, leaning down face to face with her. "Nori."

Nori heard her captain's response, and so she looked at him. He was eye to eye with her. She was still leaking tears from her eyes. The next thing she noticed was that Luffy's lips were on hers for a brief second. It was so sweet, and childish. Nori blushed a bright pink, touching her lips.

Luffy chuckled, "Shishishi! Don't cry Nori, I'm sorry for making you cry. Please smile more often. I would like to hear your voice just once." He smiled before ruffling her head, and he headed to the door to steal some food from Sanji. Just as soon as he was reaching for the door knob, he heard a faint voice.

"Thank you, Luffy-san."

Yes, I know it is short, but…. I wanted to get this one done! Grah, I did this for someone on Quizilla back then. IT SUCKS.
