~(Chapter 1)~

The Sun shined through her window to the condo the woman stayed in. She felt the fresh, clean cold sheets against her warm body, she hummed at the comfortable feeling. The sound of the birds chirping softly outside woke her up, she found the noise relaxing. The long orange haired woman felt delighted. The room was cold, just the way she liked it, she was super ecstatic over a new day. Nami rolled out of bed, hitting the floor for rolling too recklessly in her excitement, she jumped up in enthusiasm, brushing it off as if it never happened. She sure was ready for a long day at work, a fun one, her energetic state was enough to get the woman through the day. Nami strolled into her restroom, getting ready for the day.

Nami done her hair in a waterfall braid, with curls at the end of her locks, the orange shiny soft hair swayed with every move she made. Her makeup was done lightly, albeit the red lipstick she wore brightened her face up.

She wore a navy strip tie front button down shirt dress, with laced up navy block high heels. The strings tied into a bow above her ankles, at the back of her legs, Nami had on golden bar Y necklace that hung in the middle of her bust.

On the front of the bar, engraved a special name 'Eustass' a small heart at the end of the name. At the back of it had 'Nami Eternal', it had a very special meaning to her. The man got it for her birthday, a small little gift he bought out of love. She had on medium sized hoop gold earrings, they hanged neatly on the lobe of her ears.

When she stared at herself in the mirror, the woman nodded in approval. Nami looked stunningly gorgeous, she was proud of the way she looked, after all she had a meeting with someone at lunch. Well that's what she had thought. All her thoughts about meeting a special someone, crowded her mind, a very strong ticklish feeling busted throughout her stomach. Nami had became lively.

Nami grabbed her key's to her house and car, as she walked out of her room, Nami reached for her purse. She stood at her door, checking her phone, her heart pounded, a smile formed on her lips. As Nami seen a text that stood out to her 'Nami. When you go to work I'll pick you up at 12, don't forget okay? Tell your mom you will be leaving work early.' her heart got stuck with love, she felt like she was on cloud 9. The text made her so happy.

She only sent a small text 'Yes my darling.' she quickly put the phone away, closing the door to her room, she walked into the living room. Her heart dropped, she almost screeched when she spotted her mom, and a young man sitting on the couch with Nojiko, staring at her.

Nami let out a rough huff, clutching her chest feeling a twinge of agitation, her face turned into a scowl "M-Mom! Don't freaking do that! I almost had a heart attack.. Shit" she cursed. The orange haired woman was almost lost in bliss, forgetting that her mom comes every morning.

The young mother's fuchsia long hair was done into a dragon braid, her grey eyes covered by mirror shades. She wore a black and white sleeveless summer dress, with black platform heels. Bellemere looked so beautiful, even Nami admitted how blessed she was to have her in her life.

The young step mother had found her, and Nojiko as infants crying in a dumpster, it was a rainy day, and she had happened to pass by an alleyway.

It was around the time her parents passed away, the day she inherited everything her parents passed down to her. She was walking with an umbrella in her hand, crying, she was heading back home after she was visiting their graves.

The air stung as the temperatures decreased, the rain made the cold worsen, she didn't want a ride home from her Chauffeur, so she had told him to drive back without her. Bellemere thought she was strong enough to endure the cold, she wanted her mind to freshen, she wanted to breathe in the fresh air before she got back to her warmed home.

She was walking down the street of Cocoyashi City, a pair of drug addicts ran out the alley, then Bellemere had heard a pair of babies crying, it worried her so she went and checked out the crying in the alley.

When she showed up at the front of the alley, she cautiously walked towards the dumpster, a anxious feeling dug inside her heart. Bellemere quickly rushed towards the dumpster, throwing it open, the woman's heart crushed at the sight of the girls, they were not in good condition. The girls had rashes, and bruises they both seemed to have not eaten in days, their faces a bright red.

Bellemere didn't hesitate to bring them home, she had a her home doctor take a look at them, since the hospitals and doctors from the town were not to be trusted. A lot of the hospitals used babies as experiments, which she didn't want for the girls they both had been through enough.

She got proper care for them, and raised the girls on her own, even naming them, none of her friends sticked around. All they cared about was their sexlife and drinking, except for 2 Olivia & Genzo. They stuck through till the very end, helping Bellemere raise the girls along with Robin who was a teen around the time.

Robin had vowed to her mother that she was going to cherish, and take care of them as if they were her own sisters, Robin took care of them when Genzo, and Bellemere couldn't they all became a family, in a way. Genzo became the best grandpa figure for them, he played with them, took them too parks, beaches, movies, fun theme parks, zoos he tried everything to put a smile on them as they grew.

A hard look appeared on Bellemere's face "Nami! Don't talk like that in front of our guest. I wanted you to meet this young man, try to be decent for once." she scolded Nami for her indecency.

She earned a smug smile from Nami, she spoke boldly "Mom really?! Don't scold me I'm old enough, stop bossing me around." Nojiko laughed at her retort.

Bellemere scowled, she was frustrated for a moment with the way Nami was acting. She got up from her seat, hands on her hips "Oh yeah? It doesn't matter how old you are, you're still young too me. You will never be old enough too rule out my scolding, and I can boss you around however I want. Because I'm your mother!" Nami stuck her tongue out, she was never old enough for anything when it came to Bellemere. Her sister continued to laugh, getting the guest on the couch too chuckle at the pair who were arguing.

"Nevermind that, who is this guy?" Nami asked as she sat beside Nojiko, the girls were both ready for work. They both were matching Nami had suggested that Nojiko should wear the same clothes, she had planned on wearing.

The male on the couch looked clean, very formal, his green hair slicked back, the maroon button up shirt nicely tucked in his dark denim slim business fit jeans. The black loafers with a small gold buckle, it looked good on him, but it wasn't enough to steal Nami's eyes.

Nami didn't acknowledge him. Albeit his scar that ran down his left eye and his 3 gold ear drop earrings let alone his muscular frame scared Nami a little. She assumed he'd pass off as a thug.

Bellemere cleared her throat, putting a sincere smile on "This is Roronoa Zoro, he requested a marriage contract since it was his father's dying wish. It wasn't just his father's wish, he's doing it for his future. While you're still single I approved his request, I know Nojiko doesn't want to get married too anyone she has made it clear already." her hearty tone made Nami shrink.

She was in no position too decline her mother's proposition, after all she kept her man a secret. Because Nami knew Bellemere wouldn't approve him. The man was a drug baron after all. Nami would get everything taken away from her on the spot, that's if she were to mention Kid's name. Bellemere would most likely have a heart attack. However the news Bellemere did shock Nojiko.

The Light-blue haired woman was not expecting that, after all her and Kid have a brother-sister connection. If she would have known Bellemere was going to propose such a absurd political marriage, she would have taken the bullet for her sister. Now everything was all on Nami, her heart sunk at the pit of her stomach.

She clenched her jaw tightly before she spoke "M-Mom you got to be joking, right? Please tell me you're coming up with some j-" she watched Bellemere shake her head, her saccharine smile came onto play. Bellemere was not joking. She didn't have the time to joke around, she was tired of seeing Nami lonely and thought it would be best if someone was there filling the gap.

After all Nami was at the age too get married already. Bellemere wanted Grandchildren, she was not going to wait any longer. Zoro is a handsome gentleman, he won Bellemere's favor over of marrying Nami, the man wanted to marry her because his father wanted him to marry a gorgeous woman. And wanted him to be happy. His father's request was finally being fulfilled.

He was not going to let such a woman slip pass him, he was going to succeed. She is a perfect wealthy girl, knowing Nami would benefit him in the future. However his mother wanted to meet her, since she was the one who suggested they'd get married.

Nami felt her heart ache, she schooled her face into a stoic mask, nodding. She accepted it not wanting to let her mother think she had a boyfriend, otherwise she would be blowing her cover of lies over the years.

"Okay. I'll marry him, if that's what will make you happy mom." she got a worried look from Nojiko. Her sister felt her pain, she knew what political marriages were like, Nojiko read countless manga's of political marriages. They all ended ugly and utterly sad.

He pulled the marriage contract out from a folder that sat beside him, taking a pen out of his pocket from his shirt. Sliding the paper on Nami's glass coffee table, he had a smug smile as he watched her sign it.

"I'll take that contract too your mom, you don't mind if I meet her do you? I want you to go with Nami too work so you guys can get to know each other." Bellemere's silvery voice came off pushy, It made Nami feel nervous her mother has never been like this. That's what worried her, a tiny sweat drop formed on Zoro's forehead. He knew he screwed up. For even requesting this marriage because his brother wanted him to.

"Uh, yeah sure that's fine." he said warily, Nojiko shook her head.

"Mom! You're scaring the poor man already, don't you think that's too much? Nami ha-" she was interrupted by Nami's hand clasping her mouth shut, she gave her a glare.

Nami knew it was futile to reject her mother "That sounds so fun! I can't wait to get to know such a handsome guy!" her fake enthusiasm tone almost made Nojiko snort. Bellemere was just as clueless, she only suspected Nami wanted too be single, but she was not going to allow it. The woman was going to get her a grandchild no matter what. Zoro didn't miss the fake tone, he already knew she opposed the marriage, in her own way. He wasn't going to be surprised if she had a boyfriend that Bellemere didn't know about.

Zoro thought too himself 'This woman is a witch! How dare she?!' he felt the air tense up with Nami.

Her mother got up was about to leave, Nami almost forgot about Kid's text. She cleared her throat, as she stood up Nami walked over to Bellemere. Giving her a big hug, speaking in a gentle tone "Mom is it okay if I leave the company at 12? I was going to plan on resting, I built up a lot of fatigue. I don't think I'll last." glancing up at her with puppy eyes. The male rolled his eyes at the fake request, too him Zoro knew every trick in the book.

Bellemere sighed, relaxing as she smiled "Yes that's fine, Nojiko as well I want her to take care of you. Zoro will have to come with you girls back home, his car was left at the mansion." the woman nodded, her heart jumped in excitement at the response her mom gave her. However she wanted to kill herself, she didn't the idea of driving back with him. But then she had to remind herself that Kid had planned too pick her up, sooner then she had anticipated. And she didn't think she would be back right away.

Nojiko stood up grabbing both of their purses, she walked over to the door opening it for Bellemere, prompting Nami with a nod towards the door. Zoro stood up trailing behind Nami, he slipped a hand on her waist. They had no choice but to do it, Nami's mother was right there keeping an eye on them. Nami was playing it cool for the moment, she put her hand on top of it, giving it a harsh squeeze. He just chuckled, they both were tense, and were ready to tear at each other's throats.

They arrived at work, she came in without even sparing anybody any attention. Nami spotted Robin happy to see her "Robin! I'm so glad too see you!" the woman looked at her.

Breaking her conversation with Tashigi who was sitting at her formal spot, she had a warm smile "Nami what's wrong?" Robin felt concerned. Not understanding why her behavior wasn't extra bubbly today. The orange haired woman just shook her head, while Nojiko stood beside Nami giving her a shrug. Her mind drifted off too the political marriages from the manga's she read, they ended ugly a terribly sad.

Some of the scenarios of the male leads raping on the first night, or they beat their woman up. The other parts of the male tormenting the woman into thinking she is hopeless and has no one too save her. Nojiko shuddered at the scenes she seen, all of the parts mind fucking. Then another scenario popped in her head, how the female character in distress jumps off a building, that terrified her the most. She thought of another one were she becomes stalked and kidnapped for ransom, and they threaten to kill her by asking where's her husband. Another one stood out where he made her fall in love and broke the contract after finding another woman he had an affair with.

She let out a yelp, unable to bear with the horrid typical political marriages. Robin didn't miss the way she was thinking, as if they were sharing a mind together, she knew why Nami was being a little sour. Only one thing to sour Nami was a political marriage she seen it happen plenty of times. "Nami who's this fellow?" she asked as she crossed her arms eyeing the man with a dark demeanor. She was getting raunchy vibes from the poorly targeted male, however he was irritated with the woman who he had been forced too marry.

Nami scooted closer to him, as she clung onto Zoro's arm, getting into business mode she spoke in a sarcastic tone "Nothing. Anyways this is our new marimo co-worker. Call him Zoro" her remark made Nojiko walk away, stifling her laugh until she was far away. The hallways echoed of her sister laughing hysterically, she wasn't going to stick around anymore, her sister planned on getting to work right away.

Zoro gave her menacing glare, his tongue forming a very sour taste "Unhand me you vile demon" his gruff voice scared Nami, she let go of him.

Nami glared at the man before she put on a smile, she ordered Robin "You introduce him to the other's, I have work to do" Nami turned away from them, heading towards her sisters office. She wanted to tell her about Kid who was going to pick her up, and Nami wanted Nojiko to take Zoro back. Unsure if she should let Nojiko come with her, she was set on having a very serious conversation with him.

The first time she met Kid, Nami was around the age of 15, he was 18 years old. It was midnight she had snuck out with Nojiko they were at a park drinking, the pair happened to steal sake from the wine cellar Bellemere had. It wasn't locked tightly as she had anticipated, tough luck, Nami had stolen 2 boxes with Nojiko's help.

They didn't expect anyone to be at the park, she felt like it was safest to drink at the park, but Nojiko felt someone watching them. A group of men paired up with woman walked over to the playground where they were sitting, Nami tried her best to stash them, but it was too late when the group seen them. The male who was the leader of the group walked over to them, his lecherous smirk that crept Nojiko out, she knew they weren't there for the booze the girls had.

Nami got up from her spot, she was shaking "What are you looking at you perv?!" barking up at the man who was inches away, he was tall, his masculine figure was very intimidating, but his long hair was goofy to her.

They group laughed, one of the men who was holding a ugly skinny girl yelled "Arlong she called you a perv! You better teach that bitch a lesson!" some of the girls were sad, they looked away. It was as if they expected the cruel man to do something bad.

Nojiko saw a group of guys running towards them, while Nami backed away seeing the male pull his hand back, he was about to strike her in the stomach. She dodged, throwing Nojiko away from the man who was charging at them, Nami bursted out laughing "Your long hair doesn't suit you pig!" she got a rise out of him.

Her sister was frightened, she stood up slowly from the spot she fell on, the girl was shaking unable to help her sister they were outnumbered.

He didn't miss this time he grabbed her by her hair "Oh? What about this long hair? You wouldn't care if I scalp your pretty long orange hair? That sounds pretty fun to do in my opinion. You won't be the first hun" he taunted her, her eyes widened.

The pain of him pulling her hair didn't bother her that much, since Bellemere constantly braided her hair tightly everyday, she guessed braiding had it's perks at the end of the day.

Nami watched him pull a knife out, waving it in front of her "Wait! I'll compensate for my insolence! So please don't scalp me. I'll repay you" she spoke in a assertive tone.

He paused and thought about it for a second, he looked back at his men one shouted "No just scalp her stupid ass already! The bitch doesn't deserve your kindness!" Arlong shrugged, looking back at Nami.

The knife he had in his hands almost touched her scalp, Nojiko jumped onto the ground, Nami heard gunshots being fired at the group. Some of them scattered like rats, the other's were struck by bullets.

Arlong's wrist was shot, the blood splattered on her face, she closed her eyes in time so none of it got in her eyes. His grip loosened on Nami's hair, she broke out of his hold by pulling back, the girl opened her eyes, after she wiped them with her hands. Nami did a roundhouse kick on his head, another bullet penetrated his elbow, he let out a wail. Nursing his arm as he ran away from the girls.

The group of men who came to rescue them closed in, a red headed teen rushed over to Nami's side, he picked her up bridal style. The boy gave her a worried look "Are you okay? Sorry I missed, we were keeping an eye on you guys since you came. Let's go get you cleaned up, my name's Eustass. Eustass kid, I won't harm you." his voice gentle, it relaxed Nami a little bit.

She nodded, her voice came out breezy "Thank you. What do you mean you missed? How? you clearly got him" she didn't understand what he meant. Nami looked at him taking in his tall masculine figure, his light skin and bright red hair. His pointed nose that have little protrusions on both sides. She couldn't help but touch his arm muscle.

Then she moved her hand on his shoulders gripping them, a small smile appeared on her face, she took a liking to him, he smirked "I missed because I didn't kill him, and why do you keep groping me? Have you not seen a man like me before? This is sexual harassment" his overconfidence made her roll her eyes. But he did have a point, she never seen man like him built.

Nami didn't think she would have fell for him, but when she did it changed everything. "I'm Nami, sorry you're just so.. Built, what the hell? I was not even sexually harassing you. Just so you know I'm 15, don't go getting any ideas. I don't like old guys" she looked away, snickering to herself, she found a Nojiko slung over a blonde haired man's shoulder.

The woman was protesting "Let us go you thugs!" she was hitting his back with balled up fists. Nami just laughed when Kid threatened to drop her, she felt like he was bluffing, but he wasn't the boy just kept carrying her all the way too his home. There was something about Nami that made him change, the girl was starting to become his best friend. In a way.

Note:I'll continue the backstory in pieces in the oncoming chapter's don't drop just yet.

Nami reached Nojiko's office giving her a frown, she walked in too sit on her desk Nami placed a hand on the paper she was signing. Her sister looked up and sighed. Sitting back in her chair, she crossed her arms "Nojiko.. Can you take Zoro back please? I want too talk to Kid about things. And I need to be alone with him, I'm sorry" her sister shook her head, giving her a smile.

"No, no don't apologize. I was expecting that, but if killers with him could I go?" she asked nicely, batting her eyes. Nami nodded in defeat she loves her sister way too much, she was like her lifeline connection, Nojiko gave her a thumbs up before signing the paper. The beautiful orange haired girl just walked out, heading over too her office.

She checked the time, frowning, only an hour until he picked her up. Then a message popped up 'Forget it, I'm not waiting any long. I'm going to be on my way already' her heart did jumped up and down. Nami couldn't help it any more, she let out a happy a squeal covering her mouth quickly, looking around. She was embarrassed when Luffy looked at her from his office, furrowing his brows, a green haired man tapped her shoulder Nami looked back to see a irritated Zoro.

"So what am I supposed too do?" he asked in a clueless tone, an Idea popped up in Nami's mind. She dragged him towards her office, placing him on her chair were a stack of papers sat. A grin spread on her face, without a word she walked out the room leaving him speechless, he was at a lose.

He didn't stay in the room for long, Zoro was curious on why Nami was acting funny so he followed her. Seeing Nami checking her phone with a big grin on her face, she was letting out throat-ed squeals which irritated him. He followed her until she was outside the building.

"Honey how long are you going to be here?" her voice contained inconceivable excitement, he clenched his jaw. Listening in on more of her words.

"Is Killer with you? Nojiko wanted to come. I wasn't sure if you were going too be okay with it, oh wait you're almost here already?! Mhm I'll tell Nojiko." he saw her hang up, he quickly hid behind a pillar.

She ran in her heels towards Nojiko's office, he seen them walk out together, while Nojiko walked over to Robin who was at the reception desk talking too Tashigi.

Robin felt a tap on her shoulder she turned around "Robin~ please stay and do our work for us, we're leaving. If Bellemere calls please tell her we already went home, and can you give Zoro these keys so he can get home." they both pouted, hugging her together, giving her a pout. She couldn't resist the cuteness of the women that hugged her. Robin held her hand out, waiting for Nojiko to hand them over.

She sighed in defeat, when Nojiko gave her the keys she spoke quickly in a soft tone "Okay. I will, but be safe please. I don't want anything bad happening" Robin watched them leave with a wary smile. Tashigi has been feeling left out. But it wasn't her business to pry in, however Zoro kept spying on Nami.

He saw a redheaded man in a black tahoe get out from the back seat, the man walked over to Nami and gave her a long kiss. For some reason it bothered him, watching his fiance get in a car with a man she was intimate with, he gritted his teeth walking over too Robin who was already staring at him.

"Those keys" he pointed at the keys Nojiko gave her, she simpered at him her eyes got dark.

"What do you think you're doing spying on my sisters?" her tone calm and cold, she was disturbed that he was watching Nami. It was something Robin disliked from every guy who tried to destroy her relationship, she had trust and faith in Kid that he wouldn't trust what other's will say. Albeit she wasn't going too Zoro do anything, not while she was watching.

Nami had introduced them too each other and they seemed to bond right away, well in a one way bond. Kid was afraid of her. She almost broke his hand once when he tried touching Nami in front of her, without consent. Robin was overprotective of Nami and Kid in a way, there was plenty of times were she prevented a man pursuing Nami. They all had too go to a hospital for daring such absurd actions, Robin was every man's nightmare and she was about to become Zoro's.

Robin and Kid had became best friends, she started to accept him when she seen the way he broke his head to be with her. Kid refused to listen too her in some parts of their relationship, when Nami was too stubborn to listen. He even put a lot of girls in their places when they would try too steal him from her, there were other times when he did kick some guys asses for groping her. No matter what the pair were inseparable, they were like glue and water.

The male himself overcame a lot of hardships with her. He spoiled her, took extra care of her. Robin started to like him for becoming a good boyfriend, mostly he would shower her in gold and money. The same with Nojiko except he only gave her gifts when it was right, sometimes Robin got what she requested, most of the time she didn't request anything. She only requested he take good care of her when they would go out together, and bring her back unscathed.

One day Kid had a heart to heart conversation with Robin, he was sincerely happy, and drunk whenever he was drunk with them, he would speak his heart out "Robin, you know I really love Nami.. She makes my world brighter when it's dark, there isn't a time were I don't think about her. She is attached in my mind every time I'm awake, I get worried sometimes if she's okay emotionally. I only want her to be happy and have a smile on her face.." he paused to look at Robin who was listening as she patted a sleeping Nami. He smiled at the girl on her lap, his own heart squeezed in bliss.

Kid continued, his tone soft "Nami is the root to my happiness if it ever were to be severed, I think I'd never be the same. I probably would go on a killing spree. When she pushed to be beside me every time It was like the world had started turning again, at first I was stuck. I was unhappy, I didn't have any woman to give me the love I wanted. My heart was numb from the things I've endured. But Nami psh, she really changed my perspective on thing. I felt that I could breath for once, like as if a bunch of weight was lifted from my shoulders.. You know very time I see her or I touch her she makes me feel at ease, something I can't control my desires and my heart. I act on impulse at times with her, I feel like I'm in a deep trance. That woman drives me crazy, it's ridiculous isn't it? When We're apart I feel myself get stressed out. She makes me anxious, gah man Nami really has a deep impact on me.." He had a grin on his face as he said the words.

Robing chuckled "That's nice, Romance and love huh? The feeling must be overwhelming. I'm glad you're happy with her, cause.. She is happier than she has ever been before, it relaxes me. I trust you won't hurt her. Nami really loves you, you know that?" she took Nami's head off her lap, ushering Kid to take her in his room.

He nodded at Robin's words, Kid knew that they wouldn't be able to break up, he would have too die if they were ever going to be separated. His passion and love for her was as strong as liquor, it was something that couldn't be replaced, Nami and Kid were entranced in love. And if it was ever replaced, it would have to be with someone who is just as lovable and full of compassion. Their passionate moments would have to break that wall, as the love they have did.

Nami couldn't imagine her world without him. That's what she wasn't expecting to happen so soon.

When Zoro reached for the keys, she grabbed him by the neck, leaning in too his ear "Don't you dare try anything inane and unnecessary, if you ever try something foolish.. I'll make sure you won't ever speak a word, and I mean it." the whisper sent chills down his spine. He understood she wasn't playing and he'd have to play it smart.

With no other words he walked back towards Nami's office.

Kid sat in the backseat with his lover, they were making out. Nojiko couldn't stand the two kissing the way they where, she was terrified that Kid would start doing some lewd things. Killer laughed "You two jeez! Get a fucking room already, you're ruining mine and Nojiko's reunion with your sexual production!" he too was feeling uncomfortable.

Nojiko roared up in laughter, slapping her knee, Killer couldn't help but ruin their moment, and feel happy about it. That didn't help it made things worse Kid stuck a middle finger at him, breaking the kiss "Shut up, I didn't say anything when you were fucking that girl in my room. You guys were extra loud. I couldn't sleep with how she was screaming 'Oh yeah! Killer! H-Harder!' so don't give me bullshit" he scolded.

Nami stared at him with furrowed brows, a huge grin tugged on her lips, she was on the verge of laughing when Nojiko choked on her own spit. She buried her face in Kid's neck, kissing it before she pulled back and busted out laughing, Killer was embarrassed "What the.. I thought you were asleep! Don't put my business out there man. The world doesn't need to know" he grunted.

Kid rolled his eyes "The hell! I wasn't asleep I was just closing my eyes a bit. And no one said you could go in my room with that chick! Ha that was so not cool. I couldn't sleep I was drunk! You think a person can fall asleep while you guys were fucking like rabbits in my room? Oh no that's really hard to do. That sir was disturbing" the male recalled the night like it was nothing, they were making so much noises and knocking things down before they even went into his room. They didn't bother to wake him up at that time to ask if it was okay, the pair just went and did as they pleased. Not even considering how he felt about it either.

"Shut up! It was not like you were going to sleep in the room anyways. You were all comfortable in that couch, you fooled me there! That was the only time I did that shit, so don't say anything more." Killer was incredibly embarrassed, he knew that wasn't the only time. He just wanted too act like it was. However the women in the car couldn't contain themselves, it was way to funny for them. Imagining how Kid was trying too shut them out, but couldn't because they were so loud.

"Oh yeah? Well what about the other time when I was driving? You and Heat were not slick. I was just as uncomfortable as you are now, you guys didn't have any shame with those women. So what if me and Nami got a down and dirty?" he was pulling her in for another kiss. She put her index finger on his lip Nami glared at him.

Jealousy swarmed inside her, she couldn't stop herself "So these women you guys were with, did you ever tr-" he grabbed her wrist. Kid yanked her down stealing more than a kiss until he was satisfied.

He let her go, Kid bit his bottom lip, moving his hands to her hips. Gripping them firmly, he didn't bother hiding his own frustration "Don't you dare finish that sentence! That's foolish Nami never did I once thought about cheating on you, we been through this many times! I don't intend to. You should know better, I can't get near another woman without feeling uncomfortable. No other girl can steal me from you" the man blushed, looking away from her gaze. He was right not no other woman turned him on the way she did, He had his eyes set straight on her. Nami had the man wrapped around her fingers, but was too shy to admit it.

Kid couldn't take it anymore, Nami's beauty really got too him. He lifted Nami off of him, he was upset a little at the absurd accusation albeit Kid was going to get over it. Eustass kept his space from her through out the whole ride. Nami wasn't able too burst it, Killer had to stop the man from hurting her one time, but after wards he let her know about him that drew Nami to him even more.

The destination they arrived at was a fancy lounge Bar called Rebecca's Palace, a place Kid never got too go to. It was his first time that didn't involve his work.

A familiar guy sat at the front of Rebecca's Palace, his long light-blue, shaggy hair stood out. His black sunken eyes and visible bone ridges on his forehead, looked as if he got done doing a long night of rituals. The stitched scars on his chin, mouth-line, and the high point of his cheeks. A thorn tattoo ran along his shoulders, arms, and neck. It was Heat.

"Heaat!" Nojiko ran towards the male, throwing her arms open. When he was within reach, she gave him a big hug having the man stumble, he quickly regained his balance. He felt a bit happy at the warm gesture, since it was a month since Killer and Heat have seen the girls. Heat returned the warm embrace with a small smile.

"Nojiko it's only been a month calm your horses" Heat said in a kind manner, getting only a tighter hug from the girl.

She pulled back, a big grin on her face "Stop fooling around, come on I been dying to spend this time with Nami" Kid impatiently said, he draped an arm over her shoulders.

They didn't want to pressure Kid any longer, he was incredibly annoyed. Nami pecked his cheek and she grabbed his arm, tugging him towards inside the Bar. The man started to feel thrilled as he seen the lights dimmed and some lights flickers, Blue, Pink, White. It was an exciting Bar a lot of people were walking around talking before Kid could admire it Nami yanked him towards one of the chairs that had been abandoned by the person who was sitting on them. She sat on top of Kid, crossing her legs over his knee's Nami had a big smile.

"Nami, you're excited aren't you? Try to contain yourself." he whispered in her ear, the male trailed kisses down her neck. Then he stopped, too see Heat passing him a cup of Brandy the male sat beside him in a chair.

Nojiko was fooling around with Killer, challenging random people, they both were throwing the peaceful Bar off. Everyone around them shouted "Chug,Chug,Chug!" the man was having a heaving drinking contest with Nami's sister. Kid figured that the pair were going to have major hangovers in the morning. Nami felt the urge to go and join them, her boyfriend seen it in her eyes, feeling a little bad that he was the reason she was being held back. Knowing she just sat down.

"Nami why don't you go and get Nojiko under control.. I'll stay here and talk with Heat." his tone polite, Nami felt excited. She frowned at Kid who had the look of disappointment, she wanted him to join her. He gave her a small smile, pushing her off.

"I'm sorry honey. I promise to make up too you! But join us in a little please." she gave him a wink, rushing over to the pair that were having fun. Her man just sighed and watched them as he drank, he felt a little gut feeling creep in. He didn't understand why he felt the way he did, the man shrugged it off.

Nami stopped them in the middle of their match, she gave them a devilish smile. They felt nervous, but deep down their ego's were ruling them, the pair refused to lose too her.

"Bring it on Nami, let's see what you got stored. I guarantee I'll win." the cocky grin Nojiko had was hilarious, hilarious enough to earn a snort from Nami. She knew her sister was the one who has been drinking for the longest time. However Killer didn't waver, his hand on the cup waiting for them too start. The guy was feeling extra peachy.

"Oh I will sis." was all Nami said in a feathery tone, giving her a mocking smile. The women were dead set on making one of the other pass out, well that's what they had in mind. Killer smiled behind his mask "Both of you will be at my mercy, I'll win so don't get cocky girls." his tone playful, they both shot him a look of amusement.

After a while Kid joined them, having them restart their matches Nami was not even close to being drunk, she was thrilled waiting for a moment to kick her mans ass in a match. The girl was just starting, Heat didn't want to stand by either, he joined in with a sadistic smile. Kid knew the match was going to get a lot interesting,

Albeit the other pair where already stumbling "Damn you all. You guys had to pick the time to come in while we are already about to tap out. But guess what, we're are so not giving up bastards" Nojiko blabbered, Killer was laughing his ass off. Nodding at the men who dared the challenge, Heat couldn't keep himself from laughing he knew that Killer was done for.

They started 2 at a time, the orange haired woman was not satisfied, she kept on drinking. Kid had the most malicious smile "Don't over do it honey, I'll be the one to win." his tone teasing, he was not going to back down.

Another hour passed, the pair who were cocky about winning got tired out. However Nami was already drunk on her 160th drink, she was still not satisfied after upping the cups 2 glasses of beer, she was pleased to see her man undo his buttoned up shirt a little. He sparked up his sex appeal, Nami was having her moment ogling at him. Nojiko was passed out on the table while Killer was throwing up in the restroom, with some unknown woman helping him out.

Kid just sat with Heat's arm wrapped around him, they were having a good time "Oh don't get your panties in a bunch.. I'm not done yet!" Nami said in a fired up tone. The woman drank, but Kid stopped her "That's enough we need someone too have their wits, these two are really helpless without us.. No one will be able to take care of them" he reasoned, the male was a little drunk.

He leaned down to her ear "I want to at least have an enjoyable night with just us honey. I can't wait to have you, with your staring I don't think I can hold myself back" his breath and low voice melted Nami.

She was blushing, looking away as she nodded. The girl felt so embarrassed that he noticed she was staring at him, but he was her boyfriend after all what kind of man would he be to not notice that? She abandoned her drink from her hand. The male gave her a long kiss before he turned around, heading over to the restroom where Killer was throwing his guts up.

The woman was eager now, jumping off from the bar stool she sat on, picking her sister up "N-Nojiko wake up, at least wake up too walk a bit for me" her sister groaned.

Nojiko stood up not having full control of her balance, she staggered. Heat frowned "No good I'll take her Nami don't worry, focus on helping Kid with Killer. I'll meet you guys at your house okay?" assuring Nami that he would take care of her, the sister nodded giving him her purse and phone. She watched Heat take her sister out of the Bar, in the pit of her stomach she felt something wrong, unable to shake it off her gut feeling grew.

She rushed over to the bathroom seeing Kid struggling with his friend, Nami walked over to Killer's side throwing his arm around her shoulders. "Honey I don't know why.. But I feel something bads going to happen shouldn't we just wait for a little?" the words sparked up his gut feeling.

The concern in her tone, was something not to be ignored he frowned "Nami we need to leave already.. I'll make sure nothing bad happens, have some faith in me" his wary smile and sad tone didn't help her gut settled down.

They struggled with Killer as they walked out of the Bar, Nami spotted a bunch of guys eyeing them. She tried to shake it off, but something in refused to let her, then Kid noticed her gaze stayed on those group of men who started to get inside their cars. He knew them, he knew something bad was going to occur his heart clenched why did it have too be now? Why couldn't it be on a day where Nami wasn't around?

It was unsettling, he felt like it wasn't going to be a peaceful drive. His gun sat in the tahoe, he didn't want to waste any more time "Nami let's hurry." the pressing tone he used was confirming her instincts. The woman's heart ached, she wondered what was going to happen next, something out of her imagination was about to happen.

They threw Killer in the back seat, Nami sat in the front seat with Kid, she was sobering up at an incredible speed. That wasn't surprising Kid, he seen the look on Nami's face she didn't bother asking him if he knew those men. She had already knew that those very men were watching them from the start. The feeling of them watching them behind the shadows wasn't surprising, but this was on another level of danger, her stomach did settle a little noticing Heat and Nojiko had already left. Nothing was going to happen too her sister, she knew they were not going to target her, the car was kicked into reverse.

Nami seen the men doing the same, except faster, they couldn't have been any more obvious. Kid calmly asked her "Nami can you get the gun sitting in the glove compartment? I love you from the bottom of my heart... If something happens don't hesitate to move on" his emotionless tone sent chills down her spine, he gave her a kind warm smile.

She felt tears prick her eyes, her heart tore a bit when she reached for the gun. The man rolled the window down, his foot pressing the gas pedal, he fired at the car behind him getting only 2 cars. The other 3 tailed on him while another came into the front, she grabbed the steering wheel trying to avoid the car that was about too crash into them. Her adrenaline pulsing and her heart hammered against her chest, she felt a pang of panic.

Nami failed the car slammed into them, gunshots filled the air around them Killer wasn't awake he had glass all over him, another car came on her side hitting it viciously hard. Her vision blurred after the impact of the car jerked her around, she felt a bunch of glass cut her and a couple big shards puncture her arms. The woman had blood leaking from her head.

A knife met her gut, she seen the face of the person stabbing her, the tall man had long golden hair. His red eyes cold and lifeless, he had black triangle symbols on his eyebrows. The most important detail stood out a black cross Tattooed at the base of his throat, she seen him from somewhere but couldn't remember "W-Why? Don't d-" he walked away leaving the knife in her. She was engraving his face inside her mind, her own hatred and unforgiving heart sank. Nami was going to kill him in the future.

Kid beside her choked on his blood, she looked at him, he had his whole body pierced by bullets. The words he struggled out "N-Nami.. I-I love y-y-you.." his hand reached out for her, but it fell down as he stopped breathing. She cried "K-Kid! No! Why? Stay here don't you leave me now!" she begged desperately, her heart broke into a million pieces, the agonizing feeling of losing him overwhelmed her. The own pain she felt in her gut ignored when she pulled the knife out, the blood leaked out slowly. The air filled with gunpowder and car smoke along with the sweet metallic smell.

She reached a hand on his lifeless face, her eyes went wide screaming at the sight, Killer didn't wake up, he was knocked out by the booze, but big pieces of glass pierced his arm and stomach. Along with his side, he did groan as he was being tossed onto the floor. There was a siren wailing reaching them at a fast rate, the anguish she felt filled the air.

Nami didn't see anything her own consciousness slipping, unaware of the people picking her up and carrying her into the truck.

Heat got a call "Hello sir sorry too bother your sleep, but your friend Eustass-ya is dead. The woman he was with is in the hospital, I need you to come and bring some of her family here. I'm afraid when she wakes up she will not be in a great state of mind."
