A/N: Heyy, before you start reading this chap: Maybe you've noticed, but Rena's a little bloodthirsty and sadistic. I don't know if this story even is gonna be a romance between her and Law anymore, I do want to try to turn it in one thought. And to make it worse; Rena hasn't showed all of her insanity yet. Hope you are not too disappointed in me and still will enjoy the story…

Note: 'Italic'=thoughts


Last time:

Rena tried to call out for law to tell him that her back hurt, but everything was blurry and she somehow couldn't find the words to tell him. When she felt strong arms lifting her, she was already drifting off into sleep.

Chapter 3

"... still not waken up?"

"No, and her wounds aren't healing as they are supposed to, either… it's even weirder that they never bled, it makes me worry."

"It has already been a week."

'Ah, a week? What happened?' Then she recalled the events of that day... 'Oh... Right…'

Rena sat up straight. Looked around her, the room was hidden from her view by curtains. She was tied up at some machine which gave a constant beep-sound. "Hey guys" she croaked out, barely audible.

"What if she never wakes up?! She's just a burden to us anyway, I don't get why captain wants to keep her" an almost angry voice sounded.

Apparently those morons didn't hear her. An idea formed in her head; laying back on the bed, she pulled the pads off her chest, which caused the annoying beep-sound to turn into a constand beeb which was even more annoying, but she hadn't have to deal with it if all went according plan. Closing her eyes, she pretended to be dead.

The curtains were ripped open "Shit! Get captain!" Rena heard heavy boots running out of the door. She felt warm fingers checking her pulse. Cursing, the person laid the wrist back on the table.

The person turned around to prepare something from the table. Rena then quickly got off the table and hid while grabbing a blood bag, behind a cabin. Ripping the bag open with her teeth, she drank three quarter of the bag and spilled the rest of it over her hospital gown.

Meanwhile the person was done preparing and turned to the bed again, just to get the biggest scare of his life (so far); His patient vanished. He looked around to find her, and paled.

"Brraaaiiinzzz" There she was, mouth smeared with blood and eyes rolled back in their sockets. A very high pitched scream was heard then... I mean a very manly, totally not scared roar, or something.

Hearing that scream, Rena couldn't hold her laughter anymore and fell to the floor.


~Law's p.o.v. ~

Walking through the hallway towards the infirmary, Law wanted to check up on his patient. As he saw one of his assistants running down the hall in his direction, shouting his name. "Captain! The girl… *puf* heart… *puf* stopped…" Law was already running past his subordinate.

Turning the corner to the infirmary he heard a high-pitched scream. As he slammed open the door he saw two people on the ground, one unconscious and one laughing her head off. First attending to his unconscious subordinate he checked if his fall had done any damage.

Turning to the woman, he frowned as she was wiping her tears away. "woahahaaha that was really way to high and feminine for this person to be a man."

"Would you rather than making fun of my crew, explain to me why one of my men came to tell me your heart stopped and then I find you all bloody but fine and a subordinate unconscious?"

"And if I'd rather did not explain?" Rena smiled, standing up to show somewhat respect to the man who saved her life. "Well, that could end rather unfortunate for you." Law answered with one of his infamous smirks.

"As for the blood, it made the zombie part more believable, and what would you mean by unfortunate? Going to punish me by slicing me up in dices? That would be fun, now wouldn't it?" Her smile turning into a smirk to mirror Law's.

"First; I'd rather you'd try splattering yourself with something else than our blood reserves. As for the slicing part, yes, I suppose it would be fun for me, I wouldn't say the same for you though." Law laughed sinister

"Oh I beg to differ, Mister Law, being torn apart is one of my things to do for entertainment, slicing makes it less painful you know?" mimicking Law's laughter.

"We should try some time then, Rena-ya, for both our entertainment" Done with playing this little mind game, Law turned around so he could attend to his subordinate again.

"Yes, I suppose we should." Walking over to the bed where she had woken up, she saw her clothes neatly washed and folded on an occasional table. "So tell me, captain oh captain, how long till we reach the next island" turning to the sink next to the bed, to clean the blood off her face and neck.

"Who says we are not near the island where we anymore?" Law looked over to her with a risen brow. Done with washing herself she walked to the table with her clothes.

"Simple math, I've been out a week, correct?" not waiting for an answer "and we had the raid on the last day of your stay" she pulled the hospital gown off her neck and started to dress herself, not bothering to close the curtains around the bed.

Law, still across the room, did a quick once over before her back was covered again by the doll like dress. He had checked in on her status a couple hours ago but her wounds seemed to have almost healed completely since then. How odd. "Yes, that is correct. However we could've waited offshore for you to awake from your comatose state and then drop you off."

"Well yes, but that wouldn't be logical as you are, I am sure, an exceptional doctor. And as being such, you knew that with such head injury I shouldn't wake for at least 2 weeks" Rena countered "And you cannot permit yourself such delay because you want to reach Sabaody Archipelago before the end of the month."

"And why would I have bothered to waste my supplies on you?"

"My guess would be curiosity, although I know not why as I am not that special" Rena said.

"So there are some things you do not know, how interesting." Law smirked, choosing to humor her for a while "But you do seem awfully well informed on your condition, would you do me the honor of telling me how you know you should've been out for so long? Or how you managed to wake up in half the minimum time?"

Joyful laughter was heard "Your subordinates may not be able to read your handwriting, but I had no such problem." Waving with the clipboard at Law, on it were Law's scribbles about the patient; her. "But you should probably tell your assistants what is written here, the two you assigned to watch over me earlier were complaining I still didn't wake up, they seemed to think I should've woken up days ago."

Ignoring the latter statement, Law was already firing the next question. "And my second question? How did you wake up after only a week?"

"My, my, so impatient!" Rena just couldn't hold her laughter "I will tell you in a moment, I promise, but first I need some more of those blood rations you told me about" Licking her lips "You better get some more of those though, if you want to keep me as a subordinate that is." She winked at Law.

"You need them for what?" Law asked with a raised brow "and I have not decided yet if you being a burden outweighs my 'curiosity' as you call it."

"I need it as a, I think I best call it a food source, you can miss a bag or two before you run out, don't you? I promised to explain." Rena sighted, looking quite tired.

After handling her a blood bag, Law went to sit down on one of the beds.

"No I'm fine." Responding to the unspoken question if she needed scissors. Ripping open the bag with her teeth, like the previously, she drank the bag empty in 4 big gulps. Law handled her a napkin so she could clean her bloodied mouth, waiting patiently for her to speak.

"As much as I'd love to inform you about my being, and I really do, but your navigators will call you in a sec, 'cuz there are ships incoming" Just when she was finished talking, a muted "purupuru" was heard.

Law reached in his pocket and pulled out a baby Den-Den Mushi, which was still purupuru-ing away. Looking skeptically at Rena, who was smiling innocently "purupur-Clanc" "Yes" "Captain, we sighted a ship, can't say of what party it is though" it sounded through the snail.

Rena was holding up two fingers indicating there were more than one ship. Choosing to follow his instincts and trust Rena, he focused on the receiver again.

"Keep looking for more ships, and call me again when you know more of the ship you sighted" "More ships, capt…-" Law put the receiver back on the snail, cutting his subordinates useless questions short.

"How…" Law started, but stopped when he noticed Rena's attention was no longer focused on him. Shaking his head, he decided to do a personal check up on the navigation team.

"We will finish this conversation later, I'll send one of my men to guide you to your room." And with that he left the infirmary.
