Luffy felt like he made a mistake telling Kaito about Nami. It's only fair…we do know about him so why shouldn't he know about us, he thought. He shook the feeling away and looked back towards the island but yet again the feeling of uneasiness came back – he didn't understand it. He got up and made his way to his special seat on the Thousand Sunny's head to think it over.

Nami noticed it was getting dark and decided it was time to get map paper and head to the ship. She effortlessly jumped out of the tree and started her way down the line of shops. The sunset is pretty, she found herself noting.She stopped at a store that had a huge old world map in the window. "This must be the place," she said aloud to herself before going on inside.

"Hello," greeted a young man standing at the counter. "Can I help you?"

"I'm just here for some map paper," Nami replied looking around the shop.

"Ah, might I ask what pen you use?"

"Regular ink map pens."

"In that case,might I suggest this stock?" he said as he came up beside her pointing out a stock of map paper. "It's our best paper for the ink pens."

"Ah thanks so much! I'll take 200 sheets"

"We have a special of 250 for 500 beri. The 200 will cost you 490 beri." "Oh, in that case make it 250 sheets please," Nami agreed excited at the bargain price. He nodded and counted out the sheets before taking them with him over to the counter where Nami could pay.

"Here you are Miss," he said handing the sheets to her once the transaction has occurred

"Thank you," Nami said with a big smile as she took the package and exited the store to return to the Thousand Sunny.

Back on the ship Sanji was beginning to panic and run about on deck. "Where's Nami-san??" he asked frantically. "She's been gone all day! I hope she's ok!"

"Calm down Love cook," Zoro huffed out waving his hand, "She's fine."

"HEY!" Sanji retorted, "Just because you don't see the fragileness in the beautiful girl mean nothing to me!"

"She can take care of herself," Zoro said opening one eye. He had been taking a nap against the mast until Sanji started his fit.

"It's getting dark," Sanji noted continuing to ignore Zoro's remark.

"I'll go find her," Kaito offered coming onto the deck. Everyone looked at him suspiciously as he made his way over the side of the ship. He ran out to the town and it wasn't long before he saw the orange haired beauty walking towards him.

"Nami!" he called out to her hoping to gain her attention.

Nami looked up at the call of her name and cringed inside when she saw who it was. Her first instinct was to run and never stop until she was far, far away from him. That chill from before came back but she tried her best to hide it, using every ounce ofher self control gained after all those years under Arlong to arrange her face into a mask of calm indifference. He can't know I'm afraid – she kept walking. "Hello Kaito," she said with a nod as she passed him up.

"Sanji's worried about you," he said following her. She let out a real sounding laugh, "He always is."

"Ah, I see. Does he flirt a lot with robin and you?"

"Yep…but it's alright."

"You don't get jealous at all?"

"Nope," she stated simply not offering any explanation of her own. She was really beginning towish he would stop asking questions.

"Ah I see…" he replied deciding not to press the issue farther. Not wanting to seem suspicious he got quiet and they continued on their way in silence.

After about 5 min of silence they reached the ship.

"OI!!" Nami called up.

"NAMI-SWAN!!!" Sanji crooned as he threw down the ladder. "Come to me my darling!"

Nami giggled and climbed up first as Kaito rolled his eyes at Sanji's antics.

"Nami-swan are you ok? Don't worry your protector is here now!" Sanji said with heart eyes, "Can I get you anything?"

"A drink please," she said relieved to be back with her crew.

"What took you so long Nami?" Chopper asked tugging on her shirt.

"I'm sorry Chopper, I got caught up," she said patting his head.

She's being awfully sweet, Zoro noted with a grunt.

"Sanji, I'm hungry!" Luffy yelled from his spot on the Thousand Sunny's head.

"You guys haven't eaten yet?" Nami asked surprised.

"No, Sanji made us wait." Luffy pouted.

"Oh… Sorry, but I'm not hungry guys," she said after a moments pause when in reality she was still feeling sick to her stomach from her time with Kaito.

Sanji spun out of the kitchen carrying a plate of steaming food, not having heard Nami. "Here you are Nami-san!"

"Thanks Sanji but I'm not hungry. You guys can go ahead and begin dinner without me."

Sanji's cigarette fell from his mouth, "Not….hungry?"

"No," she said looking down as she went to her room to avoid further questioning. She didn't know what was wrong but she knew one thing for certain: whatever it was, she didn't like it. Ever since Kaito came onto the ship she had has a bad, uneasy feeling about him; she couldn't help but not trust him. She sighed deeply as she collapsed onto her bed – she was exhausted. She hadn't been getting good sleep lately and she was completely drained. She curled up under her blanket and soon fell asleep.

Back on deck Luffy was goofing around with Usopp and Chopper as usual. Sanji was cleaning up in the kitchen from dinner and was wondering what was wrong with Nami. She's not being the Nami I know…something is defiantly wrong. It has to be that Kaito guy. I don't know why but there's just something about that guy that's even creepier than marimo-heads demeanor. Yet there was nothing he could do unless he had Luffy's OK on it. It was decided then: he had to talk to him.
"Luffy!" he called walking out of the kitchen.
"What?!" said Luffy as he turned around. If it wasn't for the fact that this was serious mater Sanji wished to discuss, he would have busted out laughing. His happy-go-lucky captain stood before him with chopsticks in his nose going down to his bottom lip making his face stretch out. Sanji Rolled his eyes in slight aggravation though deep down he knew Luffy was funny.
"Take those chopsticks out and come here please."

"Awww fine" Luffy wined before complying anyway. He took the chopsticks out and threw them down, not out of anger but out of pure childishness, and followed. Sanji closed the door behind them.

"Luffy I have a bad feeling about Kaito and so does the rest of the crew."

"Like who?"

"Nami," he said flatly and plainly hoping that the word would hit him which it seemed to because he saw Luffy eyes flicker.

"Ah," Luffy said understanding what Sanji was talking about without him having to spell it out for him.

"Yeah I think he's after something"

"Besides a place to stay?" Luffy asked innocently. Sanji almost slapped him for being so stupid when he realized it was a serious question. After all, Luffy never saw Kaito when he was around Nami. Sanji, and the rest of the crew, often noted him eyeing her as if he was trying to see how vulnerable she was.

"Yes Luffy more than that." Sanji replied with a sigh.

"I'll watch him to make sure of anything," Luffy assured nodding.

"Good, thank you Luffy. Now get some sleep, I'll take watch tonight."
