The cold winter chills came in through the window and into the previously warm room. A young girl with snow white hair, that reached down beyond her ass and one bang that framed the pale girl's face was dyed black, was on a bed, in a room full of white walls and monitors and nurses. The girl was a surviving hospital shooting/slashing victim. Not something you see everyday. However, a scar came down her face to the middle of her throat and reaches out under her eyes and at her chin, a result of surviving the slashing. She had trouble breathing through her nose or her mouth. She was also diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis at nine years old. It was just something that was passed down in the family. So here she was, prepared to face death whether it came in a few seconds or a thousand years from now, she was ready. Her eyes started to close but the girl refused to end up in the land of nothing but sweet dreams and beautiful nightmares. Instead she worked on sewing a bear together, a gift for a young girl who survived brain surgery.

"If you're tired you should go to sleep." A nurse spoke as she checked the machines to make sure everything was working.

The nurse's blonde hair bounced against her breasts as she shifted her position to sit on the bed.

"Kamaria, can you hear me?" Kamaria Shih heard her, but chose to ignore her. She did have a bear to complete.

"Kamaria." Kamaria turned to the table side to get some more thread. "Kamaria!"

"No need to shout. I can hear you just fine." The voice squeaked out in a harsh whisper as mismatching eyes met the nurse's eye patch.

"It's hard not to when you come from an old torn down prison."

"True. By the way Domino, how's Saldeath doing?" "

"Bad. Ever since Impel Down was torn apart and his Bluegori taken from him, he's been crushed. The only ones he has left are those two twins." Kamaria nodded as she sighed.

The conversation was going no where but this was how it usual was. Domino would answer silly pointless questions about the prison and Kamaria would listen, doing whatever the hell she was doing.

"My shift's over soon. Later tonight Saddie will come and check on you."

"Damn, I hate that girl. She always wants me to prick my finger." Kamaria complained as she held the needle and thread still and threw her head backwards against the cold metal of the hospital bed.

"I can ask Hannybal for someone else but I don't know how it will work out. Who knows, it might even be someone totally different." Kamaria nodded as Domino got up, fixing her extremely short nurse skirt and white eye patch with the Red Cross in the center.

"See you later?"

"Yeah. And actually eat something today!" Kamaria sighed as she finished sewing the left arm and started to go down into the legs.

The girl sighed as she stopped for a moment. The breeze blew over the girl's pale legs and Kamaria shivered slightly. She moved to set the bear down on the table, along with the thread and needle. Her hand slipped away and went to grab the clear oxygen mask. She removed the gear that was wrapped around her head and allowed it to fall next to the mask. She took a death breath and removed the hospital's own oxygen mask. Kamaria quickly made her move and got out of bed and grabbed the clothes Domino left on the counter near the bed. She quickly changed from the plain hospital gown to normal attire, a pair of jeans and a black hoodie with nothing underneath. She also put on boots with white laces and flipped the hood over her long snowy hair. She grabbed her black cell phone and slipped it into the side pocket of her hoodie.

Domino and Kamaria had an agreement that if Kamaria didn't get caught by the head of the hospital, Doctor Kureha, and actually ate something, then she would leave clothes for Kamaria to slip out in. Kamaria never like staying cooped up in one place for too long so she always slipped out of the hospital whenever she had the chance. But she made sure to be back by six, when the nurses come to check on the patients. Kamaria opened the door and slipped out silently, her head down and her walking fast. She slipped into the back storage storage room and grabbed a small bowl and also put that in her pocket. Kamaria slipped out fast and headed toward the exit of the building, tugging on the oxygen clearification mask thingy.

"Phew." Kamaria sighed and began to walk down the street to no where in particular, just someplace where she can relax and breathe normally.

Kamaria walked up on street and down another until she arrived at a train station. She sat down on a bench and reached for her cell phone. She opened it and scrolled through the list of contacts until she came upon Sanji's. Her phone speed dialed and Kamaria put the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Sanji, it's me. C-can you come pick me up please. I think I over did it... -cough- I'm sorry." Kamaria said as she placed her other hand on the bowl, just in case she began to cough up blood.

"Yeah. No problem. Train station, right? I'll be over in a minute."

Several minutes went by and a fancy red car pulled up on front of Kamaria. "Hop in!" Sanji shouted as he rolled down the window.

Kamaria opened the car's door and slipped inside.

"I'm really sorry for making you do this. I-"

"Kamaria-san, it's fine. It's what gentleman like me are supposed to do. Especially when it comes to a fine woman such as yourself~" Sanji objected.

Kamaria, having nothing to shoot back at the gentleman, shrunk back into her hoodie. "Thanks." She whispered, her grip on the bowl inside her pocket still tight.

The blonde simply kept on driving until he got to his destination which was his apartment. Sanji got out of the car and so did Kamaria, with much difficulty. "Luffy and moss-head are here too. Brooke is supposed to be coming but I'm not to sure about him."

Kamaria nodded her snowy head and followed Sanji into the red building full of other people's homes. Sanji talked to the receptionist while Kamaria gawked at the beauty of the room. The floors and walls looked sparkly clean, as though they were scrubbed every second of the day. Paintings decorated the halls and a stunning red carpet laid there on the floor.

"Ready?" Sanji asked, snapping Kamaria away from her thoughts.

Kamaria nodded and allowed herself to be lead into the magnificent hallway. Sanji's room was on the third floor and Room 395. Sanji opened the door and Luffy greeted them on the spot with a: Did you find Traffy?

"Who's Traffy?" Kamaria asked.

"Oh! Kama! You're here!" Kamaria nodded as she noticed Zoro sleeping with a whole bunch of sake bottles around him.

"Zoro's asleep."

"I've noticed." Sanji snorted.

Luffy and Sanji started to shout at each other which ended up with Luffy getting a foot print on his face. Luffy grumbled and Kamaria wasn't surprised that Zoro didn't wake up.

"But, Luf-" Luffy took Kamaria's arm and dragged her to the couch where she was plopped down with Luffy next to her.

"You should rest. Sanji said you have a disease thingy." Kamaria sighed and nodded, agreeing to both the disease and the rest part. "Well then sleep! You'll be better in the morning!" Luffy said, already dragging Zoro away from his castle of sake bottles while Sanji picked the bottles themselves up. I wish it was that easy...

"Thank you." Kamaria said. "But is-"

"It's fine Kamaria-swan~" Sanji interrupted and left to drop the bottles off. Kamaria grabbed the blanket that was neatly folded at the other end and wrapped herself in it, making her own little cocoon. Kamaria felt safe, as though their was no such thing as death as it practically circled around her as she closed her eyes, after pausing sessions and thinking of what would happen if she couldn't open her eyes again.
