I'm on a roll what is this seven chapters in one day?

Chapter Nine: Bloody Nose, Thanks Law.

Avery made it back to the hotel and entered the bathroom. She'd asked for a bath upon entering and they'd made one for her. When she'd been ten she'd stopped the whole Bath buddy. Thing. Though she wished that she was still younger so that Law would still be her bath buddy. But now she sunk int the warm water alone and leaned her head back. The water still felt good with or without Law.

She must have dozed off because when her eyes opened she had some chest and the water was cool. It was barely budding but if she had to guess she was around fifteen or sixteen now. That's when she'd started to get a chest. Hopefully Bonney had been wrong and it would only be a day or two until she was herself again. "Where is that damned girl?" She herd Law say. His voice was moving towards the door. Avery got a towel around her just as the door opened. "Oh, there you are." A deep scarlet covered her cheeks and Law looked her up and down. "Another growth spurt?" Avery screeched.

Law quickly left the bathroom and closed the door just as the soap hit. Or he thought it was the soap. How old was she now? Sixteen? It would probably be two days more until she was her normal age again. Bonny must have sped up her aging just a bit.

Avery exited the bathroom still a deep red. Her eyes flashed towards him and he looked at her. "Perhaps when you're olde kid." He'd admitted that he did like her. He could wait until she was normal again then a wait a bit longer to know her at that age. He entered the bathroom and Avery laid face down on the bed hiding her face in the pillow. He liked her! Law liked her! It was like a dream come true. Maybe they would kiss. Oh David would be so pissed if she kissed an older guy.

Law was what, twenty, twenty-one? And she was fifteen. Six years would indeed piss her twin off. But so would her kissing any boy. He'd made her first kiss walk right off a cliff because he heard that the boy was after only one thing. Avery was glad David did that. But she did not want David to make Law walk off a cliff. Nope. Law was too cute and she liked him too much. "Ready?" Law asked as he exited the bathroom. Anew pair of jeans on and no shirt. He word no shirt under the sweat shirt.

Avery got off the bed. She was red faced and refused to look directly at Law. Only daring to steal glances.

"If you're going to look, then look." Avery's face darkened at his words and she headed to the door without looking at him again. She waited there until she felt an arm around her shoulders. "I though you wanted to look." He whispered in a husky voice making her eyes widen and her look at him. He chuckled and walked passed her out into the hall. Oh he was going to enjoy this. If only she would be this age longer.

He was getting so much amusement out of her reactions to him. She pretended not to notice him, yet she stole such obvious glances. Then when caught acted as if there was nothing wrong and it only made it that much more obvious. The dark crimson blush was another give away. They exited the building heading out to get diner. They passed the Kidd pirates along the way. "H-hi Mr Kidd, M-Mr. Killer." Her eyes obviously took in their toned chests and Law felt his eye twitch.

He grabbed her bicep roughly and pulled her along. Behind them he hear Kidd chortle. He must have guessed her teenage thoughts. Law did not like this stage anymore. Only liked it when there was no other guy for her to be ogling. But she'd grow out of it in several hours. So he'd take advantage of it while he could. Which included removing the sweat shirt and tying it around his waist and putting his hat upon her head. Her eyes kept flashing over to him. "Didn't I tell you earlier, if you want to look then look." Her head twisted to face the way opposite of him. His lips twisted into a smirk.

They entered the restaurant and he made sure that the seats were across from each other. AS they waited for their food he put his arms behind his head and leaned back. He knew what he was doing. And he was enjoying it. He cracked en eye open enough that he could see her but she couldn't see his eye.

"Close your mouth, Avery. It isn't very lady like." He heard the snap of her teeth shutting and let his smirk grow.

"You food sir." The waitress said in a sultry voice.

Avery touched her on the arm and smiled. Law figured she was trying to show who he 'belonged' to. Though he did not belong to anyone it was cute that she was so possessive. The waitress tore her arm away from Avery and sneered before walking away. She got ten steps away bore Avery's smirk turned malicious. The woman cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Blood poured from her mouth. He sent Avery a look. "It's not nice to kill people for looking. Fix her before she dies." Avery puter and slumped.

"Damage fix." The woman started to breath once more and she stood up.

"Don't." He said when he noticed Avery's fingers twitch. "Making her kill herself is not nice either." Avery's eye twitched in anger. She did not like the other woman looking at him. Diner was interesting. Any woman that even dared to look at the table had their head twisted violently to look the other way. Some even started to hit themselves. Until Law intervened. He was clearly enjoying this. When they left the restaurant It was getting dark out and they headed back to the hotel.

He needed to bathe still so he was going to enjoy this too. He took his bath then exited the bathroom with only a towel around his waist to grab a pair of boxers he'd 'forgotten'. "Am I going to need to treat you for a nose bleed?" He questioned and that caused her nose to start bleeding. Of course she then started to freak because she could not heal herself. And her teenage body freaked and she started to cry.

Law set his boxers on the end of the bed and moved to her. Her tilted her head forward and made her hold her nose. "By the time I'm out you should be done bleeding then we have to clean up the blood. Close your eyes." She did as told and a soft cloth wiped at the blood dripping down her face. The blood had already started to slow. But then she realized what had wiped at her face and the bleeding started up again.

"Law! Law! It's bleeding again. Law!" She cried. Tears leaked from her shut eyes. He lightly cursed and she heard shuffling.

"Open your damn eyes." he ordered and then moved her hand to press the towel to her nose himself. "What the hell did you do to cause it to bleed again?"

"It's your fault for using the towel you had on as the only thing covering you!"

"Why else would I have told you to close your eyes?" He growled and pinched her nose harder.

"I'b sowwy." Her words were muffled and came out weird because of her tightly pinched nose. Her eyes worriedly flitted down to his waist. "Where's your pants?"

"Forget my damn pants! You're bleeding through the towel. At this rate you might bleed out." Of course it wasn't true but Avery was acting like a fifteen year old. So of course she freaked and started to cry. "I was joking." He quickly said and she started to calm down. "Just keep leaning forward and holding onto this." He left her there and entered the bath room to return moments later with a damp towel. "Lean back and take the towel away." She did as told and he carefully wiped away all of the blood. Then she shoved to cotton swabs up her nose. "Enjoy. I'm going to find Bepo once I'm dressed. Stay here, do not move."
