Law kept his equipment right after the operation was completed. He removed his surgical gloves and mask before glancing at the girl on the operation table. Her long red hair felt over the edge of the table, almost reaching the floor. Her soulless orbs were hidden behind gentle eyelids. Her face was covered by an oxygen mask but she strangely looked peaceful. For a second he could not draw a link between the fierce girl of nightmare and this innocent child in front of him.

Law pulled a chair from the corner of the room towards the operation table. He sat on it, place both elbows on his knee and place his lips on his clasped hands. His eyes continue to stare at the helpless and naked girl, as though his questions could be answered just by looking.

She was a beautiful girl. He took a mental note. Although not gorgeous and breath-taking she was beautiful. She might not have a perfect hourglass figure but she certainly has a nice body. Her arms were skinny but well-toned muscles ran down her legs. Her face was childlike, unlike those eyes. Her lips small and pinkish, alluring and asking to be kissed...

Law blinked a few times. Why was he thinking about all this? He had always been very professional at his job as a doctor. A woman in the bedroom and a woman on the operation table had two different meaning. Why was it that a few moments ago he viewed her like how he would view a woman on his bed?

He went back to looking at her wounds as though it could justify him to look at her body. Though he was genuinely curious as to how many of the scars came about. Many of them were rather deep and quite obviously not well taken care of. He vaguely wonder if Kidd Pirates even had a doctor on board their ship. However he knew those scars were not recent. They are scars that were left from wounds inflicted more than a decades ago. He could easily tell by the stretching of the skin surrounding it and the tone of the scar. Although it was not really the scar that shocked him. It was the magnitude of them. She had more scars than he could count, heck she had more scars than skin. What type of childhood could this girl had gone through if those scars were the result of them? Was the one who hurt her Kidd? Why would he hurt an innocent girl like that? He must be out of his mind to lay his hands on his sister. Weren't they supposed to be loving siblings? The siblings that face the world head on together. Was that why she was so loyal to her brother though? Was her loyalty and love for him just a cover up for her fear? Was he just keeping her as a pet for her abilities and knowledge? Was he abusing her for his own gain?

Wait.

Was Law worried for her?

Law quickly brushed every thought off his mind and stood up. He turned around so that his back is facing her as his mind wondered.

Why did you save me?

Aren't you supposed to be a heartless nightmare?

Eustass Kiri what exactly are your intentions?

Why am I acting like this around you?

Why am I feeling these emotions towards you?

What have you done to me?

Kidd stood outside the operation room with clenched fists. Every second was torture to him. He had never felt so useless in his life. The metal pipes and wall around him were filled with dents. It took all his concentration and constant reminder that his sister was in a life and death situation to not destroy the ship from the inside.

The metallic door creaked open and Law walked out calmly. Kidd ignored his existence and tried to push his way through. Law grabbed his shoulders and push him back with all his strength. "The operation was successful, let her rest."

Kidd smacked his hand away. "You're not in a fucking position to tell me what to do."

Law glared at him and push him back once again. "As her doctor, I believe I am."

Kidd glared back and they once again held each other's gaze in a staring competition. After a long high tension minute, Law stepped back a step. "If you must see her keep it down. She needs to rest for the wounds to heal."

Kidd side stepped Law and brush against his shoulders.

Kidd placed a hand on Kiri's forehead. For a second his eyes soften greatly and the sadistic pirate captain was gone. He was just a caring brother to his little sister. Although that expression disappeared as soon as it appeared, Law caught a glimpse of it. His heart felt a little bit softer. Could it be they really do care that deeply for each other?

"Put some clothes on her." Kidd's voice was soft but commanding.

"It is better not to. The fabric might rip her stitches. Her wounds are large and had yet to fully closed up" Law said nonchalantly.

"A least put something on her." His voice was louder this time.

"Put some trust in my crew Mr Eustass. I take my profession as a doctor quite seriously and as her doctor, I can tell you that is unnecessary. It would only risk ripping her stitches and giving me more work."

Kidd gripped on to the operation table so tightly the table bent into the shape of his fingers. "As her brother, I can tell you if you don't put something on her she will rip the stitches away with her own bare hands!" He shouted so loudly the whole room shake.

Law was shock at Kidd's sudden outburst but he was more surprised at his words. Law felt it. Suddenly everything felt so real. The dark aura surrounding the two siblings. Something terrible and sinister had happened to them and the two are drowning from the memory of it. The air suddenly felt so thick that it was difficult for Law to breathe. The Eustass had experienced something so terrifying it warped them into the psychotic mess they are. As heart stopping as this situation was, Law felt his lust for knowledge. He want to know what had happen so that he could know their weakness.

"How did she receive those scars?" Law's voice was surprisingly calm and controlled.

"Stay out of my family's business Trafalgar."

Law smirked. Kidd was not as smart or careful as his sister. He said family, not crew. The Kidd Pirates may or may not know about it but something did happen to the Eustass and the Eustass alone.

"I'm a doctor. Things like these interest me. Besides, the wounds didn't look like it healed very well which in turn will affect her health and her speed of recovery." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't plan on letting her recover on your ship."

"Like I said, I take pride in my profession. She either leaves my ship healthy or leaves my ship as a corpse. I'm not called the Surgeon of Death for no reason Mr Eustass." He folded his arms and glared at the back of Kidd with slits for eyes.

The metal around the room creaked and bent. "I would like to see you try touching her."

"Is that a way to thank someone who saved your sister's life?"

A metal pipe swang across the room and landed on Kidd's palm as he ran towards the Surgeon of Death in rage. "It was your pitiful ass she saved!"

Law swiftly dodge the pipe swung at him and ran towards the side of the room where his nodachi was placed. He pulled the sword out just in time to block the pipe from landing on his face. "Repel." Kidd mumbled. The nodachi Law was holding onto suddenly became heavier. It push down on his weight and he struggle just to stand. Gradually, the sharp blade moved closer and closer to his face. "Room." Law said and a blue doom formed around the two. "Shambles." Kidd was suddenly teleported to the other end of the room. He tried to hide a confused face but failed terribly. The red head quickly regain composure and move forward for another attack.

Kiri stirred.

Kidd stopped in track and dropped his weapon. His eyes softened as a frown appeared on the girl's face. Her nightmares are back. Kidd walked towards her and shake her shoulders. "Kiri, Kiri wake up." Her frown deepened and her fist clenched tighter. Kidd mimics her frown. If he does not wake her up now she was sure to rip her stitches when she awake.

"Kiri!" He shakes her a little harder.

"She's under anaesthetic. She won't be waking up anytime soon." Law cut in.

"Then get her out of it! She has to wake up now!" Kidd was anxious. Looking at his sister scream and cry because of her nightmares always made him anxious. It serves as a reminder of how helpless he was. It tells him that it was because of his actions that the only person in the world that was important to him was suffering an eternal nightmare.

"Don't tell me what to do Mr Eustass. I doubt you have any medical knowledge. Given the condition she is now I-"

"Please." A very quiet yet serious voice spoke.

Law was cut off by Kidd. For a moment Law was speechless. The Supernova in front of him was putting his pride down simply so his sister would not suffer another nightmare. It was a nightmare she would experience every other day but each time it happened it destroys her so much that Kidd was willing to throw his pride away to an enemy if that means she would not have to go through one more.

Law quietly walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a syringe. He injected the syringe into a clear bottle of liquid, suck the liquid up with the syringe and head over to the girl on the table. She was now mumbling incoherent things in her sleep. Her fist was tightly clenched, a deep frown covered her face and her legs kicking in all directions. Law held on tightly to one of her arms. He turned her hand over so that her wrist is facing him and injected the liquid into her veins.

Almost immediately the girl's clenched fist softened. It took her about a minute more before the rest of the muscles in her body to relax. Some time passed before the girl's eyes slowly flutter open, revealing dead soulless orbs. It is funny because her eyes made her look more lifeless awake than she was asleep.

She stared at the ceiling as her hands moved up her body. A frog seemed to have suddenly jump up her throat when she realise she was naked but Kidd quickly covered her body with his coat before she could react any further. Her eyes jumped towards Kidd as she grabbed on tightly to the coat. They moment her eyes landed on Kidd's face, they seem to have soften a little. Kiri's eyes than wondered to the rest of the room to piece information together. When they fell onto Law, her eyes stayed on his face for more than a few seconds. The two shared no words as they simply held each other's gaze.

Kiri was the first to break the silence as she sat up and swung her feet over the table. "Onii-sama let's get back to the ship."

"You should not move about. Your stitches will tear." Law said.

"I can take care of myself." She replied coldly.

"We don't need your help Trafalgar." Kidd backed Kiri up as her help her to her feet.

"You could leave this ship anytime you want to but my conscious is clear, I won't help you again even if you come begging for help." Law turned around to keep his medical equipment.

Why did I say that? Didn't I say before she either leave my ship healthy or dead? Why am I letting her do what she wants on my ship? Why is she making me such a wreck?

"The only reason I would return to this ship would be to tear off your limbs." Kiri quickly staggered out the room with the help of Kidd.

Once the room door closed, Law could hear a timid voice speak. "Onii-sama carry me?" The soft voice spoke and Law's heart jumped a beat. He could feel a slight anger spike in him. She was obviously in no condition to move about and leave his care so why does she have to be so stubborn. He could see the pain she was in simply walking out the door. She will hurt herself like this. Why could she not properly take care of herself? She was making him worry like she is a child.

Being a doctor does not explain it in any way! Why they hell was he so worried about her? Law's movement stopped and he dropped everything at hand. His eyes wide with shock and mouth slightly agape.

"Just want have you fucking done to me!" He hissed to himself quietly.
