Shivisdivis: Thank you *still flushed. What a great holiday you had! I want it too. But still couldn't. Lol. You hated octopus? Hmm...but it tasted great. For me. Lol.
xyz (guest): thanks for the review. I added few moment of ArlongxNami in this chapter. Not as intimate as before but sweet. Though is hard to make him to be nice but that's it. It was the part of the story. Hope I could make him good.
The blondehaired woman was staring her own figure through the mirror. She still recalling Usopp's words but almost an advise to her. She knew he was right. She had no need to drown into her sadness. If Zoro couldn't love her back, why she keep chasing him. It was useless thing. But she even didn't know Nami's feeling toward him. She never showed herself up again after that day. Were they together now? She didn't know a bit but Usopp should be known.
Her mind started turning back at the moment yesterday noon. She had left him, injured, just because his honest statement. Actually, she felt very guilty and shouldn't get mad. Usopp just wanted to make her smile again. But what have she done? She got angry to him, unreasonably. He should be hated her. She should apologize to him right now. Putting on her long coat and grabbed her hand bag, she went out of her room.
"Wanna go, Kaya-chan?" her brother noticed her arrival, standing at the bottom of stairs. She nodded as stepping down the stairs. "Weren't you off today?" He asked more.
"Uh-uh. Therefore I gonna visit Usopp-san," she said as reaching his figure.
"Was he sick?" He was lighting up his cigarette but stopped by her who took the lighter away of him. He just shrugged.
"Yes, he was! Actually..." she paused a moment, "Yesterday, I was robbed," his visible eye bugged out.
"Did that bastard hurt you?" he checked her anxiously.
"No!" shaking her head, making him a bit relief. "He just stole my bag. Usopp-san chased after him and caught him up successfully. But when he wanna tied him up, the thief pulled out his dagger then stabbed his right arm." she explained with frown.
Sanji nodded in understanding, "So now you wanna check him up?" she nodded back with small smile. "Should I pick you?" he offered.
"No, I can by my own. You should go to work. Dad must be waiting for you," she reassured. Kissed his cheek before walking off.
"Kaya-chan!" he called her back. She spun around with questioning stare. "You should spend more time with Usopp. It's good for you," he placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezed softly. He already knew what had bothered her. But he expected his long-nosed friend could heal her.
"Why you say that, Sanji-san?" she never heard him talking like that. He shot his concern look unusually.
He sighed heavily, "sometimes we need to forget a person we loved and look after the person we ignored." she tilted her head confusedly. "Let me take you and talk about it on the way there. I wanna see him too," he pulled her arm. She sighed defeatly, letting her brother did it.
They got into the car Merry had prepared. Sanji start telling her what he'd been known between his marimo friend and their half-sister. After Nami left Baratie, he shot several question to the Luffy's firstmate. Zoro couldn't hide anymore and admitted that he and Nami were together. Kaya just looked down desperately but tried to form a smile, the bitter and faint smile. She had been guessed that thing. The atmosphere between the pair was odd, and not a big news if they were lovers now.
Sanji frowned as seeing her facial after heard the news. Though he hated to make his younger sister sank into nightmare, no matter what she should be noticed sooner or later. At least she got it from him, her own siblings. In fact, he still confusing. Nami and Kaya were his sisters, though the orange-haired just half-sister, they still in blood-ship. He couldn't blame the cartographer or the swordsman to be the trouble maker. They just loved each other, who could take them apart if fate wanted them to be as one. All he could do just to make Kaya accepted the hurtful fact.
A half of an hour later, they reached Water 7 apartment. After parked the car, they went out then continued their tracks to Usopp's and Zoro's room. Kaya was knocking the door twice while Sanji took advantage to light up his cigarette again but failed. His sister sniffed the tobacco without moving her head. She pulled the cigar along with the box and the lighter away of him, placed into her handbag.
"You can't smoke with me around you, Sanji-san!" she reminded him. Her brother just lifted both of hands in surrender with apology grin.
"Oh, you two! Come in!" the greenhaired man greeted them as opening the door as wide as possible.
"You're not working, Zoro-san?" Kaya asked casually, trying to keep strong though her heart was screaming.
"You said I shouldn't leave the sick boy alone, don't you?" he said with his typical grin.
"Just say you're lazy, marimo!" Sanji interrupted before Kaya could answer.
"I'm not lazy, ballerina! I'm just waiting for Chopper! He'll be stay here when I'm working!" he fought the cook's state.
His swirly brow twitched in annoyance, "Who did you call Ballerina, Gay?!" he barked disgruntedly.
"I'm not gay, Goat!" he argued, wouldn't give in. Kaya wanna stopped their war but they ignored her.
"Grass-head!"
"Nosebleed-kun!"
"Blind-One!"
"Missy missy slave!"
"Heartless Jackass!"
"Prince of Okama!" Zoro added his wolfish grin. And with that last humiliation sentences, the cook shivered and blood boiled up. How he hated that words!
"Oi! Oi! Couldn't you fight somewhere else?!" the injured Usopp emerged out from his room. "How could I be better with you two are screaming out your lovey dovey words! You two make my head spinning!" They stopped a moment to glance to him. He noticed her presence and suddenly changed his attitude.
"Kaya! How come you're here? I thought Sanji come alone!" he couldn't hide his excitement.
She smiled, "Because of you. Now lie down on your bed!" she commanded. The two other stared them blankly, forgetting their battle.
"I did. I'm fine, you know," he assured, couldn't help but smile in joyful.
"I don't care! Just lie down!" she kept ordering. Usopp nodded few times before rushed onto his bed. She turned to the other two. "Go to work you two. Leave Usopp-san with me." she told them. They just blinked in stupidity then looked each other before walked off, leaving Kaya and Usopp.
The long-nose guy was leaning his back against the head of bed. The blanket covered his lower body, from waist to toes. Kaya walked in with a basin of fresh water, new bandages and clean towel. His old bandages had been soaked with blood, needed to change. Placing the things on his nightstands, she sat herself beside his right leg. Gently, she took off the bandages around his injured arm. She stopped a moment after he hissed in response. She balled the bandages which had put off of his before shoved into trash can next to nightstands.
He stared her in speechless as she was brushing the wet clothes on his wound carefully. Her soft and gently touches was full of tenderness. Now he hoped not to be healed if it made her close with him. Such a dream! He keep his eyes on her who now wrapping new bandages around his arm. She got up, bringing the basin and clothes back to kitchen. A minute later, she was back with a glass of warm water, handed it to him. He couldn't manage just took the glass wordlessly.
"Here your medicines," she said softly as giving some pills in her cupping hand. He smiled a bit before took them, drinking one by one along with the water. He exhaled in relief.
"Wow, Kaya! You're an excellent doctor!" he exclaimed proudly.
She giggled, "Is that so?" he nodded. "Thank you." he grinned widely in return.
"Glad to see you like this. I missed your smile," he spoke up softly, not to tease her.
"Actually..." she took a deep breath. He blinked curiously. "I wanna ask you about Zoro-san and Nami-san," she talked in doubt. He nodded in agreement. "Have you known that they were together now?"
He rolled his eyes away, "I have. Who told you?" he moved his eyes back to hers.
"Sanji-san," she replied in whisper tune.
He noticed her sadness voice. "Kaya, you've to be strong. It's not the end of the world!" he shifted to face her who sat on the wooden chair.
"I'm late. If I made a move earlier, I wouldn't lose him. Right, Usopp-san?" she glanced down, fisting her hands on her thighs.
"Kaya..." he whispered sadly.
She glanced up, smiling sweetly. "Would you help me? To patch the wound in my heart?" she placed a hand on his, squeezing it.
"Sure!" He responded with no doubt.
"Thank you," she spreaded her smile. They stood like that as long as they could. He expected everything would be change between them. He was happy though he's just the bin of her broken heart but it was enough.
"This time I lost him," she added as pulling off her hand of his. His smile faded away as knowing her upcoming sentences. "But if I get one last chance to be with him. I won't let that slip away," she finished as moving her sight to the opening window at her right. This is it! He hated when he could read her mind! His heart sank down again, she hadn't given up. Fine! It wasn't the first time she acted like that. Her love to Zoro was too strong. God, keep me strong!
xoxoxo
Water was flowing down on her hair and tired body, cooling her spinning head. After the tiring performance tonight, she really needed her relaxing bath. Her fingertips brushed her long hair softly, neck, shoulders and arms. Turned off the water, she took a bottle of shampoo then poured onto her cupping palm. Placed it back before moved up her hand on top of her head. She closed her eyes as massaging her scalp. When her hair was done, she opened her eyes and took a shower puff which hanging by the wall then poured the body wash a little on it. She squeezed it before brushed all over her body. Humming some sweet tune while enjoying the soft and aromatic of the soap. It was so relaxing.
It had been few days after she sneaked into Arlong's room. She still didn't know how she should do at the results she got. She should show them up first to Nojiko. Then they would discuss what to do next. She had been decided, Strawhat might not to know, including her father and her half-siblings. Only the two of them, her sister and herself. But something's strange. Arlong didn't or hadn't notice he had lost something. Or the things she got weren't important? What-ever! At least he didn't find out that she had been interrupted his privacy.
Her mind still focusing on nothing even hadn't realized that someone had been going inside, standing behind her, shirtless and wearing his sexy smirk. She keep soaping her body, cleaning every part of her delicate and smooth skin. Turned on the handle again, letting the water rinse the foam of her hair and body. Rubbing her scalp with her fingertips, combing her hair to removed the tangle. He was just watching from his place with desire and decided to join her bath.
The muscular man took few steps closer and spreaded his broad grin as seeing her. She was drifting deep in her excited bath even her ears didn't catch his footsteps on the watery floor. He stopped when he was right behind her, his pecs almost touched her shoulder blades. His breath quickened as sniffing her scent. He couldn't wait and in a second, he wrapped one of his hand around her waist while another cupping her right breast, his mouth attacked her neck hungrily and crushed his body against her.
She was gasping and moaning lustfully as feeling the sudden touches. She had been known the person and let him did everything he wanted. Her head threw back, resting on the man broad shoulder, her wet hair glued against his chest. She was shivering and moved up both of her hands to hold on to his head while he was using his tongue to tease her ticklish spot. Suddenly her legs became weak and almost gave up if his arm didn't support. She couldn't stop her slutty moan while his finger pinching and tugging her pink nub hard but gentle. His crotch rubbed her nude butt in sensual motion, she could feel a huge bulge through his pants. She arched her ass back, moving in circle against his desire. They let the water flowing down onto them, joining their fun.
She spun around and circling her arms around his neck. His hands wrapped securely on her slim waist, rubbing his thumbs over her bare skin. They locked into each other eyes, sharing their pure smile a moment. He lifted her up by her waist, instinctively she encircled her legs around his hips. One of her hand reached the handle, turned off the water.
As the water stopped, he pinned her back against the shower wall and claimed her lips fully. Their chest rubbed each other as deepening the kiss. Their tongue twirled inside each other mouth, couldn't get enough. Her fingertips jabbed his spikes, telling him that she really love it. He broke apart to catch his breath but she didn't let him away any longer. In a second, she covered all over his lips with her opening mouth. She moaned excitedly as feeling his rough palms squeezing her ass sensually. She broke the kiss and sucked her own air, breathless. He was following her motion, panting his own breath. Their forehead rested against each other as regaining their lungs.
"Couldn't you just wait a little longer, my impatient guard?" she spoke in breathless as teasing his personality. He just chuckled deeply. "I must dry my body first, then we can do whatever you want. How?" she breathed out against his face.
"I'll help you," he whispered dangerously as moving away to the closet, taking a dry and clean towel. She climbed down from him, traveling her hands over his built upper body. She looked down at his soaked pants then smirked.
"Wait!" she stopped him who wanted about placing the towel over her head by his forearms. He raised his eyebrow inquiringly, moving down his hands and placing back the towel. "You've to clean yourself too," she said sexily as her fingers playing with the hem of his soaking shorts. In a swift tug, she pulled his last garment off of him. His manhood stood firmly, pointing her belly.
He stared her with his dark and dangerous eye, "Should I punish you now, witch? Here?" his voice was low in threatening tune but she knew, he was ready to take her now and then.
She leaned closer her face, looked up with her desire look. "You wouldn't dare," she whispered, her warm breath brushed his lips. His breath quickened in anticipation as her right hand reached his shaft, rubbed back and forth. Her left hand massaged his chest, couldn't get enough to feeling his warm and tight skin.
Unaware, he caught both of her hands, locking them together above her head with one hand, crushed her back against the closet beside them. His other hand was under her right tight, lifted up as level as his waist before pushed his member deep inside her lower lips. She almost screamed as he went inside her, but he caught her mouth fast and swallowing her loud moan. She was already wet so that he could move in and out smoothly.
He was penetrating her like an animal, didn't give her any mercy. Her left leg start to weak, he noticed it. He released her hands and mouth, lifting her legs and locked them together around his hips as he continued squeeze her womanhood. She braced herself by his shoulder, slapping back her hips against his. She reached his lips again, holding his face in tenderness. They moaned pleasurably into each other mouth as climaxing. They broke the kiss, leaning their forehead together as panting heavily but satisfied.
He gave the last quick peck on her lips then smirking cockily. He put her on feet but keep holding her in order her legs still couldn't support her body. She glanced into his eye hazily and smiled in return. She still exhausted as resting her head on his shoulder and circling her weak arms around his neck. He took the towels, wrapping them around her body and his before walked off of bathroom.
He was carrying her in bridal style out of shower. He reached her bed, lying her down on it gently. He left her and took his clothes which had been lying on her desk, start dressing himself. She stretched her arms widely and got up slowly, using her hand for support. Her eyes traveled his figure who was buttoning his shirt. She smiled a bit before approached her wardrobe, taking out her nightclothes.
"You're such a brute!" she complained playfully as drying her hair with towel after put on her dress.
He smirked as stepping closer to her. Stopping right behind then whispered, "And you like it," his hot breath teased her skin.
She turned around and shot her catty grin. "Exactly!" she cheered, hanging the towel by the hanger. He chuckled.
The door of her room knocked from outside, taking their attention. They looked each other before headed to the door. Nami opened it while Zoro stood behind her. There was Arlong's cook with his usual face. She smiled in return and asking his will.
"Arlong-san wants to talk important things to you, Nami-chan." The pair looked each other again in blank expression. "He's waiting in his study." he added before excused himself. She just nodded quietly.
"I wonder what he gonna say," she said not in particular as putting on her night robe.
"Something bored," Zoro shrugged for response. She nodded in agreement.
They went off from Nami's room, locked the door before walking towards the stairs. Crossing down the stairs, they turned right to the only one room which have golden door. There was a sign 'Arlong's study' written on it. Hatchi had been standing at the other side of the door. He opened it after noticing their arrival. He went in first and told them to follow him behind. Arlong had been sitting on his armchair with Kuroobi and Chuu stood protectively at each other side. The fishmen boss raised his eyebrows as seeing her clothes. Her usual silk nightclothes but he didn't know why, she looked so perfect tonight.
"Leave us alone!" he ordered to his fishmen including Nami's guard, but the greenman stay still and glaring fiercely at him. The blueskin man smirked, "I won't hurt her, Roronoa. I just wanna talk, alone with her. Now please stay outside," he command politely and it was odd.
Nami glanced to her guard, tapping his arm as telling she would be alright. He answered her with his deep stare as saying stay alert. She knew it and nodded reassuringly in return. He nodded back, patted her back before take a last look to Arlong. He showed his sharp fangs to the swordsman. Zoro left the room, closing the door and leaning his back on the wall next to the door. She stared him walking off then turned back to her boss.
"Come here," Arlong told her as patting his thigh. She crossed her arms and hadn't moved. "Come! I want you sit here for a moment." he added but not ordering.
She sighed and gave up, at least it just a few minutes not forever. She obeyed as walking to him. He spreaded wider his knees, let her took comfortable seat on his thigh. She sat slowly, her left side against his front, her legs between his thighs, still crossing her arms. He wrapped his right arm around her waist, keeping her steady while the other resting on the arm of the chair.
"It'd been two months you're staying here." she nodded in uninteresting gesture. "I decided to let you home tomorrow," his last statement made her look his way, curiosity blanketed her mind.
"Home?" she asked in disbelief look.
He nodded, "But the contract still working. You still my cartographer and my club's star," she rolled her eyes as telling 'I knew it'. "I just want to make you happy so, I let you gather with your family," he added with unusual smile.
"You're not sick, are you?" she mocked still in cold tune.
"Thanks for worrying me but I'm fine," he assured softly, "I want you to know that I care of you," he added, breathing out against her ear. Unconsciously she bit her bottom lip as shivering, her body start enjoying the moment. He smirked and added a bit treatment. He licked her earlobe, his left hand moved to her knee, slipped under her clothes. She gasped shockingly, uncrossed her arms and stopped his hand. He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"You can't do this," she told him breathlessly. "I'm still in period," she lied. Absolutely, she just didn't wanna do this with him.
"Fine," he gave a last smooch on her neck. Moving his hand to her knees.
She sighed in relief, placed her hands on her thighs. "So I can go home tomorrow and...Won't stay here anymore?" she checked once again.
"Yes," he smirked widely, "If you wanna go tonight, then go. I don't mind." his hand squeezed her side.
Her face brightened in second, "Really?!" he nodded, "But, how about my Mom? When will you set her free?" she reminded him.
"Like our first promise. You worked with me till you turn 22 and I'll give her back," he exclaimed.
She frowned a bit, knitting her eyebrow, "Can I..." she paused doubtfully. He nodded as telling go on. She gulped before continue, "Can I meet her for a while?" she pleaded with her chocolate orbs.
"No!" He growled, eyeing her with his sharp eyes. His hand squeezed her thigh hard, she let him.
"Just a moment, please!" she used her hands as begging.
"You can't!" He barked in hissed tune. She took a back in fear. He glared as leaning closer his face to hers, "If I said 'no' it means 'no'! Do your job first and you'll have her as you wish! Got it?!" she nodded quickly in few times. He leaned back to his seat, loosened his grip.
She straightened her body and looked down with deep frown. Her hands balled her clothes on her thighs. She was missing her mother and wanted to meet her just for few minutes. What was wrong with that? Didn't he just say he want her to be happy? Didn't he care of her? Was he lying? Of course, he did! She huffed in frustration and want about got up.
"Who said you can go? I'm not done yet," he stopped by her knees. She scowled and crossed her arms as sitting back, turning her sight to the door. He touched her chin, moved her head to him. She glared him with her lazy eyes.
"What now?" she grimaced impatiently. "Didn't you say I can go tonight?"
"Yes, you do! I just wanna give you this," He held off her chin, took the key on the table beside the chair. He handed it to her.
She looked at the key expressionlessly, to him, key, him and back to the key. Uncrossed her arms before took it. "Key?" he nodded with his smirk, "the key of your car?" she inquired more suspicious.
"I've never give any present at your birthday. Take this as your gift," he told her in his deep voice softly. What's wrong with his mind? He was so kind! First his credit card. Now his own beloved car. He knew money was her weakness. He knew how to tame her. He knew how to make her licked his feet. Dammit!
"You got fever or hit your head?" she still couldn't believe what he'd done. She placed a hand on his forehead, checking his temperature.
He chuckled, "So now you care of me?" he teased. "You're already mine. Can't I be nice to my woman?" he kissed her cheek, his pointed nose touched her ear. She didn't back away but stared him blankly. "You can go after give me a kiss," he said as pointing his lips.
Okay, now I hated this part. Thanked God for your kindness! He wanted me to kiss him before let me go. How could I deny it? All he knew, we had done it before. Even he thought we had had sex and claimed me as his. Should I give it? Fine, just a second! No longer! Keep calm, Nami! A small and quick peck. Now get over with this!
Her right hand was holding the key while the left fisted his collar. She sighed before leaning forward, planted a fast smooch on his lips. When she pulled back, his left hand grabbed her head back. He caught her lips fully with his own, rough but slow, full of tenderness. He just using his lips to savor every part of hers, trying not to leave some marks. Her fists pushed him away but he was too powerful. Every time she wanted to pull away, his hands pushed her back. His large hands were holding her head and her waist tightly. His sharp nose almost scratched her cheek.
At first, she just zipped her mouth while he kept moving. But when he pecked his tongue, licked her lips and forcefully wanted to enter her mouth, she gave up and finally opened her mouth a bit. He spread a small smirk before shoved his tongue between her pink lips, their tongue met and savoring each other. Though he was a fishman, he tasted like normal man. She started enjoying the moment and circling her arms around his thick neck. Her legs shifted and accidentally her knees rubbed his manhood through the fabric of his pants. He groaned into her mouth, making her jolted up and successfully pulled apart of him.
This time he let her go. He eyed her as licking his own lips, formed his satisfied smirk. His chest moved up and down as breathing accelerately. Her eyes on him was blank, couldn't express her feeling. She knew she just fell into his game, like she had done to him. It meant he had been realized it. Screw it! Importantly, he had let her out of this cold mansion. She felt his hands moving away of around her. She did the same, uncircled her arms as getting up. She was stepping towards the door but stopped at the middle after he called her back. She gritted her teeth as turning her head around.
"I just checked my things just now and found out some important things had been missing. A bag of keys which one of them is your mother's and a small CD which written 'EXECUTION' on it," she held her shocking gasp, pursed her lips together. "If you see them, please tell me." he shot his knowing smirk to her. She bobbed down her head before turned around, continuing her tracks.
Zoro heard the sound of the door. He looked over it and Nami went out from inside, Arlong followed behind. He examined every inch of her body, up and down. No marks just her lips was swallon and her face a bit flush. Was she sick? Probably! The air was so cold tonight and she was wearing the thin clothes.
"Roronoa!" The sharkman called his back from his thought. He moved his eye up to meet his. "Help her pack her things. Start tonight she will be going home," Nami's guard raised her eyebrows. "But she still Himawari of my club. You should take her every night. Got it?" he pronounced. Zoro nodded in agreement thought he hated to be ordered by someone else beside Luffy. Arlong disappeared into his study along with his three best fishmen.
She grinned as backed to her old self. She poked Zoro's arm, making him looked her way. She circled her arms around his neck. He wondered she wanted to kiss him. But he was wrong. She spun his body around so that he was backing her. She hopped up onto his back, wrapping her legs around his waist, locked them together. He grunted in annoyance but just let her do it. She giggled joyfully as he was carrying her piggy back up to her room.
"He's acting strange," she mumbled lowly as folding her clothes and putting them into the trunk, but Zoro's ears were too sensitive.
"Who? Arlong?" he asked, peeking her from the corner of his eye while collecting her packages. She just shrugged off. "He always did, you know," he remarked her words. She nodded.
"Phew!" she exhaled lightly as wiping her sweat of her forehead. "All done! Let's go!" she dragged her large trunk while he was filling his arms with her bags.
"Anything else, ojo-sama?" he asked mockingly. She giggled and couldn't help to pinch his cheek. He looked so cute while frowning. He just rolled his eye.
xoxoxo
The bluehaired woman yawned longingly. Her beauty sleep distracted by the sound of wooden gates, like someone had knocked from outside. She stretched her arms to the air as getting up. She checked her beloved daughter first before headed to the door. She walked sleepily, took the keys which hanging by the holder then unlocking the door. Putting on her slippers, she dragged herself to the gates. When she opened them, her eyes shot open directly.
"Nami! Zoro!" she unexpected shockingly, "What are you doing in this hour?" she asked surprisingly.
"Can we talk it tomorrow? I'm sleepy," Nami responded with yawn.
Nojiko moved her eyes to Nami's company. He just shrugged off. She let her in, still wearing her confusing look. She just standing by the gates while they were going inside with Nami's belonging in their arms. Were she moving or running away from Arlong? Or else? Should ask her later.
Nami pushed the door of her room, turning on the light, letting Zoro put all of her things inside. She stretched her neck tiredly as setting down herself on the single couch. She just stared him sleepily. As he done, she let out a long yawn, covering her opening mouth with the back of her hand. Nojiko poured the fresh water to the glass which had been prepared on the table, sitting down facing her sister.
"I've put them all. I'm off. Good night!" he excused after closing the door of Nami's room.
"Why don't you stay here? It's already midnight," Nojiko suggested kindly.
"No, thanks." he refused politely with small smile.
"Nojiko's right." the sleepy Nami joined, her head rested on the couch, facing the ceiling with closing eyelids. "With your good sense of direction, you'll be sleep on the road." she mumbled, opened her eyelids a bit, eyeing him from the corner of her eye.
"My sense of direction was fine. You should ask the road which always changed everyday." he complained with irritate look.
"Yeah...yeah! Whatever!" she waved a hand as saying. "Don't get wrong! I just don't wanna make Robin get worry because of her little brother was missing. Now stop complaining and stay here! You can sleep on my bed while I'm with Nojiko," she was pointing her room lazily.
"Or you want to sleep with Nami? I don't mind," Nojiko added a teasing question almost innocently. Zoro was taken a back.
Nami's eyes snapped open and glared her sister deeply, "Thanks for your opinion, my beloved sister!" she grunted madly before turned to the man, "Don't just stand there! Hurry up and go to sleep! I still need your hands to tidying my things tomorrow!" She ordered violently in her bossy gesture. He gritted his teeth but obeying her words. Nojiko shook her head, feeling guilty at him because of Nami's rude attitude.
As he was already inside, Nojiko locked the gates and main door. Nami had been in Nojiko's bed, laying down her sleepy body. Her sister went in after turned off the light. She joined her sister on the bed. Nami had been closing her eyes, looked like she was really exhausted. She kissed her hair, brushed with her fingertips. She put the blanket on Nami's body and hers before continued her sleep.
xoxoxo
The orangehead woman was washing her face then drying with the towel. She slept peacefully this night, in her own home. She smiled a bit then changed back quickly after remembering she still had something to do. It's not time to be happy. Her mother still being capture. No other way beside did Arlong's wishes.
She walked off of bathroom, heading to her own bedroom. Nojiko had been going to the market along with Himawari. Her sweet niece always being excited if her mother brought her out, like her father's habit. She knocked the door twice, no answer. She tried to turn the door handle, it opened. It meant Zoro didn't lock the door or he was already up. She peeked her head inside, calling him as inspecting the room.
She caught up him who still lying on his stomach, the right side of his face was on the pillow, his arms bent up and pillow between them. She could see his bare back because of the blanket just covered his lower torso to toes. His clothes were hanging on the head of the chair. She walked in quietly and stood at the bedside. She tapped his cheek, not responding. She shook him by his shoulder, still didn't react even snored louder. She gritted her teeth and putting her fists on hips, tapping her toe against the floor. She raised a hand, lowered it in swift motion against his head.
"What the hell, crazy woman!" He shrieked in pain, rolled onto his back and holding the bump on his head.
"Wake up, big baby! The sun has been above your head!" she pulled his free hand, forcing him to moved away of the bed. He pulled back, unceremoniously along with her. She gasped and fell on top of him, her back crushed his bare chest. He caught her by her waist, wrapping securely. Her hair spreaded and tickled his shoulders.
"Seem like you enjoy being on me," he teased in his husky voice, blowing against her ear.
She giggled, "Stop it!" her hands moved back, pushing his face away. He just chuckled and attacked her sides, making her laugh loud and uncontrolably. Her legs were swinging up and down while he kept tickling her ribs. He didn't stop but lifting up both of his legs which still covered by blanket to caught her swinging legs, wrapping and locked his own legs around her knees.
"Let me go, brute!" she try to escaped of him, but he was too damn strong. Her head threw back as laughing more violent.
"Oh my! I should knock the door first," a familiar female voice interupted their moment. Directly, the pair froze and staring a person who had been standing by the door, giggling typically.
"Robin!" the pair shouted surprisingly. How the hell she could get in? Oh yeah, the door unlocked.
"Aw! Sorry for messing up your super fun, girlie! We're here to visit your super sister!" the cyborg peeked from Robin's shoulder, lifting up his sunglasses by his massive thumbs. The pair got up slowly, released from each other. Nami was tidying her clothes and hair while Zoro put on his T-shirt.
"She's still shopping. What's your business? Perhaps I can help," she replied as walking to them.
Robin giggled, "It's nothing. Just visit," she said with her genuine smile. Nami nodded in response. "Since when you're home, Nami-san?" she asked politely.
"Yesterday," she grinned then something crossed her mind. "Oh, Robin! Glad you're here! Have you a laptop or CD player? I wanna lend for a day," she inquiring shyly. Zoro appeared behind her, waved a hand to the guests. They waved back.
"What a coincidence, sis! I've brought my laptop!" Franky pulled out the thing from his body. "Here! You can use it as long as you want!" he pronounced as handing it over her with his broad grin. She jumped with brigthening look as thanking him.
"What will you do with it?" the man behind her asked, crossing his arms.
"Secret!" she winked in return, sticking out her tongue. He sighed as shrugging off.
The men moved to the couches, sitting themselves on the long couch while the ladies preparing some tea and coffee. Zoro was asking his brother-in-law about Usopp's condition. The shipwright said that their longnose friend was doing well. Chopper had taken care of him well. Kaya also had visitted him regularly. He also told that they looked closer than before. Looked like they'd had another relationship. Zoro grinned in return, feeling relief finally Usopp could get the woman he loved.
In the kitchen, Nami was telling her state to Robin like Arlong's odd attitudes, why she could back home and so on. She no longer hid her condition but still she couldn't mention the contract between her and the fishmen's boss. Robin and another Luffy's crew was her friend now. She loved them all. Therefore, she didn't want Arlong hurt one of them. Robin warned her, probably he just want Nami to think that he could be trust. He was acting nice to get Nami's attention. Maybe Robin was true. She thanked Zoro's sister, Robin was really help.
xoxoxo
It'd almost midnight but still she hadn't feel sleepy. Nojiko and Himawari had been sleeping in their room. Today, her sister along with the three strawhats had helped her rearranging her room. Then they spent the day with eating, talking in fun. She also found out that her sister had been in relationship with the owner of Water 7 apartement, Mr. Iceburg. Robin and Franky were behind it. They'd brought him while visitting Nojiko or invited her and the man to their place though just tea party. Nami was happy for them.
She was lying on her stomach on her own bed, her cheek leaned on her left palm. She stared the CD which between her fingertips. At last, she hadn't told her sister about her results. It wasn't important to her. She moved her eyes to the bag, next to the laptop Franky had lent. Placing the CD in the player, she took the bag as waiting the computer was reading it. Unzipping the bag, then opened it as wide as possible. Which one was belong to her mother's? At least she should get her room first then she could try them one by one.
She exhaled heavily, leaving the bag there and moved back to the screen. She was moving the mouse with her index and middle finger, searching for the application for playing the movie. She clicked her index finger, the application opened. She moved the pointer again, clicked the file in CD. She put on the headphone so that only she could listen to it. She folded her arms on the mattress as the file still loading.
Several second later, the video showed up. She was watching concernly, inspecting every part. Her eyes widened in second, eyebrows knitted together, her fingertips racked the bedsheet. She keep her eyes on monitor, full of anger, madness, hatred, sadness, hurt, disgusting and everything that could make her brain exploded in second. She couldn't take it any longer. She should go to him, asking their contract. Nojiko was right, she should leave him and forgetting their arrangement. Arlong wasn't a man with words. He was monster!
She bit down her lips until bleeding, her tears broke as the video ended. Put off the headphones then got up directly. She grabbed the key on her desk and went off. Quickly she got into the car, driving it fast to that dark mansion. She should find the octopus guy first, asking their friendship this whole time. How could he keep it from her? He did it on purpose so that Arlong could torture her as long as he wanted. And why she could trust him? His kind personality was really made her fell into his trap. Damn you, Hatchi!
Do you like it? Oh no, what's going on? What had inside the CD that makes Nami become furious? Share your mind here, guys! Waiting for your review! :*
