Chapter 8

Nami's POV

We get dressed and I looked at Luffy. He was all excited about the gun and it made me let out a little giggle. He looked at me with an interrogation look but soon the dead look returned and he turned the other way. I sighed. 'Why is he so upset about it after all? He doesn't love me…'

"So! Now that everyone is ready, the challenge will begin! But try to remember: only a hit on the heart is a 'death', and just if the two of the couple get hit the couple is off! So the couple can still continue if one of them is hit and the other one is not!" We entered in a type of elevator and we went down of the arena. We looked around and saw that we had a cave with our names. "Couples, wait in the cave with your names until we tell you to leave!" Hearing it, we followed the instructions. When we entered we saw a seat for two.

"Go ahead, sit down Nami. I'll wait standing." Luffy said turning his backs to me.

I frowned. "Stop it! You'll be treating me like this until when?" I yelled a little, but I didn't mind if someone heard us.

Luffy looked at me with widened eyes, I suppose he didn't expected that I would yell at him. "And how am I suppose to treat you then? You and Sanji… you know? Whatever. I even don't know why I'm bothered with it!" He looked sadly at me; I closed my eyes and sighed.

"Luffy, can you listen to me? That was an accident! But I don't know why I care to tell you the truth!" I put my hands on my forehead and take a sit on the seat.

"Nami… I…"

Luffy's POV

"Nami... I..." I frowned and looked at my cool gun. "I am confused..."

"Like always! You are so stupid and idiotic! You always are confused because you can't handle any explanations!" she yelled. I pouted sadly because that really hurted... "How many times do I have to say it. Between Sanji and I is nothing! It all was an accident!" she said, emphasising 'accident'. There was some silence in the room.

"I don't really care that I have to explain all this to you. But I do care about you being mad at me for something I didn't do." She said on a soft tone now. "So again. It was an accident. Now grow a pair between your legs and just shut up about this matter. And I truly do not get why you even worry too much about all that stuff." She said, standing up and preparing her gun.

I looked at my navigator with a frown. I didn't know either... "A pair?" I asked curious

"Balls, Luffy. Balls."

"Aa... My kintana's."

Nami sighed and facepalmed "I seriously don't know what the hell you are talking about... But if it works for you, then ok."

"Start!" yelled the announcer. The doors to the cave opened, giving the couples the chance to split and fight against each other. "You all have the oppertunity to talk to each other via the ear walkie-talkie." The announcer added in a cheerful matter.

"I don't know." I said again, looking around. I honestly didn't...

Nami sighed deeply, getting tired of all this. She walked away from me, giving me some back up... I hope "Of course you don't. Is there something in this life you do know?" she asked, highly irritated but also slightly curious. I frowned again. She was being mean to me...

"I just..." I sighed and took some seconds to think - which really did hurt - about how to say this "It's just a nagging feeling in my belly. Like I am really hungry but also not and it feels like some pinching feeling..."

"Tell Chopper to get your appendix removed. It might help." She said, shooting something in the distance. I looked up hearing her shoot. I looked around the corner and said nothing.

"Is it forbidden to use Haki?" I asked in curiousity after some time.

Nami chuckled softly, making me look at her in surprise. "That's the first smart thing coming out of your mouth today. But I think it is." She said. She still was being mean, chuckling or not...

"What is an appendix?" I asked again, already feeling a mean remark come from her.

"Go for Chopper for that. You won't get it like always when I explain it to you." She said.

I looked at her with a really mad frown because honestly... I was getting pretty mad. "I always listen to you. I always try my best to get it. I always feel happy when I hear you talk. So could you please be nicer to me because it really hurts when you talk to me like that."

I saw Nami looking at me in the corner of my eye, while I was shooting some paintballs to a few couples. "Only if you believe when I see the thing with Sanj was an accident." She added.

"Deal." I said, hoping this painful conversation was finally over.

Nami's POV

What was that? Ok, I know I was being a little… a lot mean to him but, I didn't know why I was hurting him this muh… But knowing that he promised me that he'll believe that that kiss was an accident, it will be ok.

We are walking for a few minutes now and we haven't stumbled upon others couple. It was boring.

"I'm booooooored…." Luffy said pouting.

"Yeah, me too." I said while sitting down on a rock near us. We couldn't see anything clearly, the "cave" was pretty black. I narrowed my eyes trying to find someone, but I gave up fast.

"I want action!" Luffy shouted. "I'M HERE! COME AND GET ME!"

"Luffy! Stop that! It's best if we just stay here quietly and-" I stopped talking because Luffy went above me and the two of us were on the ground. I opened my eyes - I closed them after I felt the impact - and noticed that Luffy's face was just a few millimeters form mine. I gulped.

"L-Luffy wha-" I was cut off by his hand on my lips.

"Shii, there is someone walking there." His eyes looked deeply into mines and I nodded. Well, it was his fault that someone actually came. He let my month free but didn't stop looking into my eyes. But well, I couldn't stop looking into his, too. I could feel his breath, his body was heavy but I didn't notice much. I was so hypnotized by his dark eyes that I didn't notice what I just did. I let the gap between us be a little closer, my eyes pointed to his lips and them back to his eyes. His cheeks were so red that it made him look cute. When I came back to my senses Luffy ended the gap between us.

Luffy's POV

I backed up again and I looked into her eyes, seeing how wide they were. "Why... What did you do?"

"I don't get it..." he said.

"YOU DON'T GET IT!?" She yelled, yelling my ears off. I frowned and looked around as soon as I heard people shoot. "Get of off me!" yelled Nami kicking with her legs while I still sat on her.

Meanwhile in the public, the mugiwara crew didn't know what they should think after looking at the bigscreen. "W... was that an accident too?" Usopp asked gaping, pointing at the screen. Sanji bit on his jacket and Chopper fainted and fumed.

"He is turning big!" cried Franky with his manly tears.

"My, my..." said Robin with a slight smile.

Nami and Luffy hid for some paintball bullets. "Ok Luffy, let's just forget about this for a second and let's play seriously now." She said with a gulp.

I looked at her and nodded. I looked at some guy in the hallway and I used Haki, making him fall down. "DON'T USE HAKI!" Yelled Nami mad. I shuddered by her screeching voice and scary face. I saw Nami looking at me once again and I looked back. "How did you come with the idea to kiss me..." she asked. That was a good question...

"Well..." I thought, shooting at a guy who wanted to run towards us. "I just felt like it. After seeing you kiss Sanji-"

"Which was an accident." She added shooting a girl from the other side.

"I was just curious how it felt..." I said. My stomach growled a bit "And your lips looked yummy."

"They looked WHAT?" I looked at her. I think she's getting sick because she was really red... Nami rubbed her cheeks and I just blinked, getting confused of her actions. Nami stood up and shot around. "Luffy..." I looked at her again "We are surrounded, so we really have to battle now."

I looked around and nodded "With fists or without?" I asked.

"Without." I heard Nami seeth. I grinned slowly, feeling the same mood as it has been before. "Stand up. We have to put our backs to each other." I stood up and I looked at her as she counted to three with her fingers. On three we jumped to each other and shot around to the others.

"YAHOO!" I felt the excitment coming again "Just like fighting against Shiki." I grinned. Nami behind me shot further and I did too, shooting at everyone I saw. I waited and looked around, not finding someone.

"I think everyone is gone..." I said sad "YOU GUYS ARE BORING!" I yelled, getting an elbow in my back. "Sorry." I murmured.

"I think we shot a few people, but still not on their chests." Nami said. I nodded softly. "Luffy." I turned my head a bit to see her in my eye corner. She grabbed my shirt and I yelped in defense. She then did the same thing I did to her. The kissing thing.

"Your lips looked 'yummy'." She said with a little grin after parting. I felt a little smile creep on my lips.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" yelled the whole crew in surprise.

Nami's POV

I felt my cheeks getting warm. I must be really red now… Why when I'm with Luffy do I things without thinking? I'm really an idiot… We knelt again, hiding ourselves and looking around to see if we can notice some other couple, but we sensed nothing.

"Nami." I turned to Luffy.

"Hm?" I tried to act normal. I didn't know why I was so shy… maybe I love him more than I think! While I was lost in my own thoughts he got closer and mumbled something on my ears, but I couldn't hear him. "What? Sorry. I didn't hear you."

"I asked if you know what this pain is in my chest… Like when I'm with you I felt my heart beat faster than usual… Not like that's a bad thing…"

My eyes widened. 'It couldn't be that he…' I gulped. How can I answer him? No clue... Maybe if I told him to go see Chopper? Yeah, it could work. "Hm, maybe Chopper knows what is wrong with you, he's the doctor not me."

"I already went to him but he didn't know… then I asked Robin and she said to me to talk to you.."

-x- Flashback from chapter 6-x-

After they went to the restaurant, Luffy felt a little strange so he went to Chopper to ask him to give some medicine for our Captain.

"Chopper…" Luffy said while knocking on the Nursery door.

"Come in, Luffy! What's wrong?" The little doctor said with a little smile on his face.

"Hm, I want to know if you know what is wrong with me…"

"Tell me what you are feeling, then I'll be able to tell if I can help you or not."

"Well… Since yesterday my heart beat grew faster when I'm with Nami… And sometimes I feel my cheeks getting warm and stuff…"

Chopper blinked. He never had read a book of it before, so he didn't know about what disease Luffy was talking about. "I-I'm sorry Luffy, I don't really know what disease is this, but I'll do a check up."

"Ok! Thank you, Chopper!" Luffy said grinning.

After the exams Chopper said that he really didn't know what is wrong with him, so he decided to do a research. Luffy nodded and went forward to his favorite seat, when he saw Robin.

"Robin!" He shouted.

The raven haired looked up from her book and pointed her eyes on her Captain. "Yes Luffy?" She said smiling.

"I have a question for you!"

"Which is?"

Then he told her everything and in the end she just grinned. Luffy did his interrogation face and then all Robin said was:

"Why don't you go and ask Nami directly?"

-x- End of Flashback -x-

"EH?! WHEN?!" I shouted in shock and got up, but why I did something so stupid? Just then to get a shoot right on my chest and I get down instantly with the pain. "Ouch…" I closed my eyes in pain. That really hurt. What on earth were these paintballs made of? I put my hands on the location were the paintball hit me. "Shit… I'm sorry Luffy, just try not to get hit, okay?" I looked at him and shuddered. He was making a scary and angry face.

"L-Luffy?"

So that's it! We really sorry for the delay, but the next chapter is in production right now! =D
