I just realized that I start almost every update with ok. But I thought it would be nice to give you guys a heads up. I kinda might've broke the screen on our laptop and my mom doesn't know yet(it's still usable but she won't care) so if at one point during this story I stop updating for awhile, it's not because I've forgotten about the story, but because I've been banned from using the comp and therefore the internet. Sorry guys. Don't own One Piece (if I did there would be luna every episode ;P) nd I'll try to get 1,100-1,200 words. (and lol this is gonna be a luna chapter just to mess with my friend cuz I know that she'll read this when she's done with this other fic and I wanna piss her off.

Chapter 4

It was a beautiful sunny day on the Going Merry. It had been three days since the stowaway incident, and everything was back to normal. Well, exept for Luffy. Lately, he had been thinking. And we all know that this is rare for Luffy. Very, rare for Luffy. And he wasn't just like, Oh I wonder what kind of meat we'll have today? do you think Nami will let me have a Tangerine? Blahblahblah. He was thinking hard.

Sitting in his favorite seat, he would stare at the waves or the sky, which actually made him think harder because they were blue. When eating his meals he wouldn't scarf them down, but sit there long after everyone else, and he rarely talked anymore, unless he was spoken to.

Everyone noticed their captain's behavior, but chose to ignore it. I mean, he was finally being mature right!? This was a good thing! But Nami was worried. Yes she was glad he was finally acting his age, but she didn't want him to be like this. It was like all the happiness had been sucked out of him, he wasn't even himself anymore. Nami decided she would talk to him about it.

"Hey." she said simply, as she walked over to him and sat down.

"Hi." He continued to look at the waves.

"So...what's up?" silence. "we've all noticed how you've been acting Luffy. What's going on?"

"I've just been thinking."

"Luffy. You don't usually think like this."

"It's just...the stowaway. I knew her, but I don't know from where. She had been my friend." And then Nami understood. She knew how much his friends meant to him. And now there was some mystery girl, who he had been friends with. She had said that she would get hurt for talking to him. He had tried to hurt her. He said he would kill her. Made her cry. Nami didn't know this girl, and, neither did Luffy right now, but she still understood.

"I've had dreams. Dreams of memories that turn into nightmares, but every time I end up forgetting them when I wake up. All I know is her name, and that she knew me. That we were friends." Nami was shocked. She didn't know Luffy could be serious outside of fight.

"Have you had any tangerines today?" he shook his head. "I'll go grab you one. " She stood up and walked over to the trees. The weather had been nice lately, so she should take the tarps off anyway.

Satomi had never moved from that one tangerine tree. She knew that if she ate too much her chains would just make her throw it up later, but it was still like a paradise to her. In her little tree it was warm and comfortable, and quiet, giving her time to think. The shadows were calm more often, and the cuts she had gotten for talking to Luffy had healed. She was able to sleep more, and eat more, and rest, sitting without having to do anything. The cold weather had given the legal passengers on the boat a reason to not come near, so she was left alone.

It smelled always of the delicious tangerines, and although her hands were orange, and her pockets stuffed with peels, this was the happiest she'd felt in months. Then she heard someone taking off the tarps.

Nami undid the tarps one by one, untying them before folding them and and putting them away. There was only one tree left. She walked over to it before stopping short. At the base of the tree, just underneath the little hole that the tarp makes when wrapped around the tree, was a peel. Someone's been eating my tangerines! She screamed in her head. It must've been Ussop or Luffy, because Sanji is too hopelessly in love and Zoro doesn't give a rat's ass. But then she noticed something else.

In a way that told her that it had been dripping down the trunk, was dried blood. It looked about three days old. The stowaway. He'll punish me tonight. Luffy's words echoed in her ears. He had told them of everything the girl had said. She had said she would be punished, and it was the truth. Here was her blood on the base of Nami's tree.

Slowly, she backed away, and got the others.

Luffy was the first one at the site of the tree. He stood there, and stared at it. This was it. Here was the answer to all of his questions. Here was where his supposed friend lay. He would confront her, and find out what all of this is. Today this endless torrent of emotions would cease.

Satomi stopped. Panicing would get her nowhere. She calmed down and took deep breaths, and called on her chains.

Get him she told them.

Why should we? Both of us want to see you killed.

Yess. And besides, when your dead, we can finally escape. Their hissing voices echoed inside her mind.

Do you really think you would go unpunished? I'm his most valuable asset. And what makes you think they would kill me? I'm his nakama.

Arre you? The girl plotting their downfalls? Designing ways for each of them to individually die? You were never even his friend in the firsst placceee..

Yesss... even then you were waiting to kill him...but you were too afraid. Too used to killing off people helpless in their sleep. But that time it was against the rules wasn't it? So you ran

Disgusting human!

Scum!

Trash!

SILENCE! I screamed at them. Now get him before I get you! They hissed at me before I felt one of them disappear. It cma eback with another voice. With my eyes closed I could see his face.

What do you want? He asked. Stroking his shadows like cats.

Help me!

Why should ?

Because it's not supposed to go like this! If they find me now, they'll ask questions. People are supposed to think I'm working on my own terms, not for someone else! They'll be suspisious.

But this is all your fault, shouldn't you fix it? You made your choice of actions three days ago, and now you'll pay the price. Besides, you should be punished for being so laxy and comfortable.

I learned my lesson! I'll do anything, tell meof the deal later, but just help me now!

Anything? Hmmm... what do you have in mind?

Erase their memories of my encounter with Lu-Straw Hat. That and no more will be fine. But in all of their memories.

Ok. But they'll need to pity you. I'll take care of that.

Take care of that? Wha do you mean take care of th- then she understood. In fact, she was so surprised that when the shadows pierced through her skin in too many places to count, splattering blood on the bright orange of the tangerines, all she ould manage was a gasp. Then everything faded to black laughter.

Luffy stopped his thinking when he heard a small, very faint gasp. But then his mind went blank. Not blank, but black. And then it passed, and he could see again. But he could not remember wht he was doing. Then it came back to him. Nami had seen some blood on one of her trees, and there was probably some injured stowaway. He was just waiting for the others. The rest of the crew all had similiar experiences. And soon they were all by the tree.

"So..."

"So."

"I wonder if it's a woman oh I hope she's gorgeous!"

"Hey eyebrows, shut the hell up"

"HEY DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!"

"I can talk to you how ever I want!"

"SHUT UP THIS IS IMPORTANT!" Nami screamed, silencing the two.

They all turned back to the tree. Nami walked over to it, and she and Luffy intied the tarp. They pulled it off, and evryone couldn't help but gasp at what they saw. The entire tree was slattered with blood, it looked fresh, but as they looked at it, it seemed to age. Turning brownish and dry, but the blood on the girl herself was still fresh, because as they looked at her she was bleeding out her life, draning away.

"Oh... god." Nami whispered. She looked around at her frozen crew mates. "Well don't just stand there help me!" They all snapped into action (?) but were barely able to touch her from fear of hurting her. They carried her into the first room they entered. Ussop grabbed a tablecloth and laid it on the table (they were in the kitchen) and they placed the girl on the surface. Luffy went to grab towels, Zor got bandages, and Sanji got the first aid kit hile Nami filled a boal with warm water. They all met back at the body, and Nami surveyed it for the most serious wounds.

She noticed some particually deep ones on her chest, back, thighs, and a small but deep one on her neck. The other weren't as serious, as in not life-threatening. Nami noticed that she was wearing metal gloves and boots. She saw no puncture marks, but blood was leaking out of them. Her face was completely unscathed. "Take off her shoes and gloves! Anyone who can't handle possible nudity leave now!" Zoro and Ussop looked at eachother, and Sanji's eyes were all lovey dovey and perverted. "Zoro, Ussop, you can leave, and Sanji- just- get out before you do something I'll make you regret."

"Oh Nami you're so beautiful when you're mad,"

"Just get out!" Then it was just her and Luffy. "Ummm..." She really didn't know wat to tell him what to do. Why was he even here? "Go get some ointment from the first aid kit. Along with some thread and a needle." He went off with out a word. Nami peeled of the girls shirt, and was surprised to find out that her body was completely covered in bandages. Her clothes were unscathed, but the bandahes were torn to shreds. Maybe there wouldn't be any nudity, since taking off the bandages would cause more damage to the wounds. Luffy returned. "Okay, get some towels wet and start to wash her legs clean of blood. Be gentle though, and just pat. We don't want to disturb the wounds. Do that to verything that's red ok? he nodded and went to work. Nami started to sew some of the wounds shut. She noticed that the smaller cuts-more like scratches now really- were healing. No, sealing. They were closing up slowly before her eyes. "Well that can't be a bad thing.." she muttered.

Nami peeled some of the bandages away from the cut on her chest and started to stitchit up. She did this with the other major wounds, applying ointment to each one. Then she moved on to the smaller cuts, repeating the process. Luffy continued to pat her down. She stopped only to give the girl sedative and pain reliever, when she heard her start to whimper. They slwly continued, and when Luffy was done she had him start to wrap her in fresh bandages, but over her old ones. After an hour, they were done. They had gone throungh three tubed of ointment, their whole supply of bandages and a sheet, soaked 6 towels with blood, and gone through half a spool of the thred they used for stiches, a bottle of pain relievers, and saved a life.

Nami walked into her room, holding the girls freshly washed clothes, they were still dirty, and looked like they hadn't been washed in years, but the blood was gone and the smell too. She was surprised to see lUffy still sitting there, next to her bed, staring at her bed.

"You're still here?"

"Yeah..."

"Why?"

"I don't know...I just feel like I know her... she feels like a friend."

"Oh... well we should probably give her some food, it's dinnertime anyway. Why don't you go out and eat? I'll take care of it."

"Ok." He walked out, but stopped at the door and glanced back before leaving. Nami went out and came back with a small bowl of broth and a piece of bread. She fed the girl and went out to eat with the others.

Satomi woke up, sweating, shivering, and sore. And for a moment, she knew nothing, was oblivion. Then she remembered. Looking around the dark room, she saw her clothes folded neatly by the bed she was in. And on the floor was a mattress, laying on which was who she guessed was Nami. She had on fres badages, but with the stiffness and how hard it was to move told her that she still had her blood caked ones on beneath. Wrapping the blanket around her shoulders, she walked outside, to the deck. He would want to talk to her.

"Aaah...so you're finally awake. It took you long enough."

"You act like that's my fault."

"Good point. Now about our deal."

"Yes, tell me. What other horros await me?"

"You'll like this one. Very creative, and I'm pround of it."

"Ah?"

"Every bit of pity, every crumb of food, every drop of water, every bit of medicine, care, and friendship will result in your agonizing torture. Because whenever they give you more food than I have allowed, you will throw it up, and be punished. For every time they're nice to you, especially if it's more than they are to their other crewmates, you will be put through such unbearable pain that you will want to die more than ever before. For eery extra mile that they go to make you comfortable, I will go twice as far to make you suffer!" he was yelling now, and his voice was filled with an almost humorous anger, trying to insult me.

"Oh, and I'm changing your mission. You have to become their nakama before you kill them. And when you do, save Luffy for last, so that you can torture him with watching his friends slowly die writhingin pain. That will hurt you the most, to see him screaming at you, cursing you, trying to kill you, and wishing to do to you what you're doing to him. Goognight. Hope you sleep well."

And then he vanished into the shadows, laughing.
