Well then, dear reader, welcome back to another installment of Blu-calling's rather strange and slightly demented reality in which sugar rules and people must bow down to all pants. Yes we are rather scared as well, but don't worry, you just drink your coffee and everything will be all right.

*mmm yummy. =9*

Lucci stood on the balcony of the apartment we had somehow managed to pay for even though his medical bills did take up a good sum of the belli. It was raining, pouring actually, and the lighting and thunder played out like a trumpeting symphony. His hair was soaked, he was soaked to the bone and he continued to watch the sky as the lightning slashed across it and the thunder rolled and the vibrations shook his entire body.

At least, that's what I think he was doing, or rather, what I hope he was doing. But it's not like I can control how he thinks or anything if he chooses to remember those stupid Strawhats then that's his choice. But it does worry me and I have never been one to worry about Rob Lucci. Never. Not until now that is. He won't say much, if anything at all, and he hardly does much to interact with the rest of us. Hell, even Jayabura is worried about him, though he'll never admit it.

Me? I think he is taking the defeat too seriously. I mean I know it's a stab to our pride, and definitely his pride, and he should be angry but the silence is something I never expected. He walks and trains and protects the citizens just like he normally would but there is no more emotion and no more witty comments that make the criminals crestfallen. Then again he was sort of emotionless and cold but he has been colder than usual is what I mean.

"Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to join me or leave, Kaku?" Lucci's sharp voice resounded in my eardrums. It was the first time he has talked solely to me in a long time.

"I think I'm going to keep staring at you Rob." I smirked as he craned his neck to give me a half hearted glare and then return his attention to the dark swirling clouds of the storm, "You should come inside Rob, you're going to get sick you know."

"I don't get sick, Kaku." His voice was stern and vicious even though it was calm. Only he could have developed such a talented technique when it came to talking and threatening at the same time. Normally I would have been scared by this but in his current state, looking like a sodden wet kitten, I was far from scared pants-less. I smiled as I watched him for a little while longer and then when the next flash of lightning and clap of thunder seemed too close for comfort I stepped outside into the pouring rain and tugged at his sodden clothes, motioning for him to come inside. He complied easily and lead me back inside just like the leader I had always known. The thunder and lightning continued to play outside for the rest of the night and it seemed to sound more triumphant.

*It's time to dance like toast everyone*

Don't ask where I was going with this because I sure as hell don't know. All I know is that Kaku was supposed to be thinking that Lucci's butt was supposed to be sexy.

Kaku: WHAT?

Blu: ...nothing?

Kaku: . oh....kay then?

Blu: Anywho, I should start running now because my next story idea is going to get me shingan'd by Lucci personally. And I shall have so much fun running for my life while laughing my butt off.
