Red

Kaida's dream was dreamless. All she could see was black all around, nothing but black, and it seemed to be closing in.

"Kaida…Kaida…" she heard her name being repeated over and over again, as if someone wanted to reach her. But the black was so dense; Kaida was too afraid to move forward and step into something ghastly. Instead she tried to see what was around her, and when nothing came into her vision, she tried to yell back.

"Who...who is that! I'm here! Here! Someone, help me!" Kaida was just starting to get scared. The thought of her being alone in the dark scared her. It reminded her of the darkness in the cage she was put in when she was with her father. "Hello?" Kaida yelled shakily. Now, Kaida was more frightened and she just wanted to get out of the darkness and into some sort of light, so she started to run. She couldn't tell which way she was going all she knew was that she had to try and get away from the darkness, even if it completely covered her.

"Kaida, Kaida!" Kaida heard the voice and tried going toward where she thought it was, she was scared and the thoughts of her father started to bring tears but she brushed them away hard. "Kaida!" suddenly, a small light started to form up ahead. Hope… Kaida thought this throughout as she started to sprint to the light. The yelling started to become louder but at the same time, it was as if the darkness were pinching at her shoulders. Kaida was breathing heavily as finally the darkness became light. The first thing she saw when she went through that slit of light was, Chopper holding her by the shoulders.

"Kaida, Kaida!" he yelled. He shook her a little and finally, Kaida looked at him straight.

"Cho…pper?" Kaida said in a slightly ruff voice. Chopper had some tears on the edges of his eye lids.

"Kaida," came a soft voice behind him. Kaida looked and saw Robin holding a wet cloth and smiling. "Glad your back."

"Kaida," She looked at Chopper again as he looked at her and fell on her, hugging her around her neck. A small pain hit her.

"Nice to see you to Chopper, Hehe, can you please get off" he wiped away his tears as he got off her and jumped to the ground. Kaida looked around to see that she was in Chopper's medical room. She then looked at herself, her neck hurt but she managed to bring it up a little and look down at her body, which was covered with bandages.

"Ugh," she said as she lay her head back down and looked to Robin, which she heard a slight gasp from.

"Robin, what's wrong?" asked Chopper looking at her worriedly.

"Chopper-san, do you see…Kaida's eyes?"

"Huh?" Robin was holding onto the cloth tighter as Chopper came up to Kaida, only to hear another slight gasp.

"Chopper, what's wrong with my eyes?" Kaida was getting anxious to know what was wrong. Robin - without looking - took a mirror from Chopper's medical table next to her and handed it to Chopper.

"Kaida, your eyes…their red," he seemed a bit frightened.

"What? Eyes can't be red…" Chopper held the mirror above her and suddenly, red, was the only thing that caught her attention. She looked at herself in the mirror, closing and re-opening her eyes to make sure that they were still hers. She inwardly gasped, her eyes now, instead of the green they used to be, were now a bright red, it was the only thing on her face she couldn't recognize, everything else was the same. Chopper then took the mirror away, Kaida's eyes following it back to the table and then to Robin.

"Why…why…" Kaida asked in a croaked voice.

"I don't know, I'll try to find out but…ever since you got burned…," she looked around uneasily. Kaida didn't like these eyes, and she knew at how it would probably scare away everyone looking at her; to Kaida, they were like the devils eyes.

"Please…" she looked at both Chopper and Robin, "don't tell anyone, please." A small tear came out of one her eyes pilling eyes.

"We promise Kaida, we won't tell, and don't worry they aren't bad, they may go back to their normal color soon," said Chopper smiling lightly.

"Really?" Kaida tried to sound hopeful, but wasn't sure about the eyes changing again.

"I don't know, but…I'll research with Robin, okay?" Kaida nodded lightly, the small motion hurting her neck. Kaida groaned and felt her eyes droop a little.

"I'm tired, may I…?" Kaida didn't finish the last word as she saw Chopper nod and sleep took her away.

"We are ready sir," said a man in a blue uniform.

"Good, set sail and go east, there should be the next island," The man looked at the log pose and then up at the vast sea ahead of him.

"Father, do you think she will tell anyone about us? Will she cause trouble in the family like mother had?" asked Rin.

"No, don't worry my child, we will find her and get rid of her, having a peaceful life like we always should have," the father stroked Rin's hair before going to the front of the boat.

"Tsuki, we should head east sir," said an underling to him.

"Yes. Go." The man shuffled off, letting the navigator inside on where they were headed and the weather. Tsuki, (the father) and Rin had boarded a boat; going after Kaida so they could get rid of her before she told anyone anything. The ship was grand, yet not big enough to be called a warship, on it were pirates that served under Tsuki. He didn't want the government getting in the way either and mostly, they were on his side, so he told them that he was seeing if there was a chance in the world if he could catch the straw hat pirates, even if he only was going to get Kaida.

Rin sighed as she sat back in her seat, thinking of why they are going through all this trouble when the pirates could do it for them.

"Father, why do we have to go to?" she asked him, a bit annoyed.

"Because Rin, they will mess up, and if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." He said simply. Rin sighed again as she laid back in her chair, closing her eyes in annoyance and hoping it would all go away.

While she did that, Tsuki thought about how that man was beaten by Kaida. He had come back after about eight hours he had told him to get Kaida. When he did, he was limping and he told him how Kaida had some sort of power.

That's impossible, she shouldn't know about the existence of the devil fruit. It's too unreal for her.Tsuki kept thinking about her having a power, and even if she did have one, he would have to witness it for himself.

"Damn…" he muttered, it would be troublesome if she would be able to control her powers also, that means he would need someone equal to her, someone with a green and blue power?

Bastard Tsuki was mad that Syuui didn't get her and now he was going through all this trouble. But, at least he would get rid of her. With this in his head, they sailed onto the next island, where they would most likely be.

The crew was all eating lunch when Chopper had come in.

"Chopper, I thought you and Robin were going to stay in the medical room so I prepared you guys some food," said Sanji looking over his shoulder.

"Ahhh, Robin said that I should come up here and eat and that she'll watch over Kaida for now, she said I needed the rest," Chopper rubbed his forehead in stress and then headed for the table.

"Un, how's she doing Chopper?" asked Nami. Chopper looked around warily, and picked his food off his plate with a fork.

"Kaida is…okay, she has some burns here, but not much. She should be out in about two days I think. I have no idea about her medical past so it's harder to predict it like that. But otherwise, she's fine. Oh, and Sanji, Kaida won't be needing any food right now because she is sleeping." Sanji nodded

"Okay, then I'll go give Robin-chwann hers!" Sanji said happily as he started to wrap her plate in tin foil. And he put a fork, spoon, and knife on top of it, securing it so it wouldn't fall. He took her plate and was about to go out the door when,

"Sanji-kun, may I please have something to drink?" asked Nami.

"Haaiii! Nami-swann!" Sanji spun right back to her and thrust the food to Luffy.

"Luffy! That's not yours to eat! It's for Robin, go bring it to her!" Luffy tried to say No but, "If you don't you won't have any dinner tonight!" He pouted as he got up,

"Meh, fine! But it better be a big dinner!" he said as he went out the door moping and Sanji asked what kind of drink Nami wanted. Luffy went through the cool afternoon and down the stairs, turning to go down a small hallway into Choppers medical room. He looked at the food sadly, as if saying a small goodbye as he opened the door. Robin's back was to him, putting a towel down, and then she turned around, hearing the door open.

"Oh, hello Luffy" she said smiling.

"Hey Robin, here's some food that Sanji had made for you," said Luffy handing out the plate to her.

"Arigatou gozimas Luffy," she said taking the plate and sitting down in front of the bed that held Kaida.

"Oh, Kaida," He said, noticing her for the first time. "Is she okay?" Luffy looked down at her sleeping form. Her eyes were closed a was on her side, facing Robin, her hands in front of her and her brown hair scattered, though you could see that bandages covered her wrists, neck, and her upper arms.

"She has been doing fine; she woke up a couple of minutes ago when Chopper was here. Only some stress from how her body is reacting, but nothing different."

Luffy felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"That's good, I hope she wakes up soon, that power she has is cool…" Luffy was awed by the colors of it. "But what happened?" he remembered her all red and it scared him. Robin sighed and she opened her lunch.

"I don't know, the book didn't say anything about the color producing heat, cold, or anything of that type. All it said was that you could manipulate colors. I'm guessing that there wasn't much research of it before this." Robin said as she took the first bite of her lunch. It consisted of shrimp, vegetables, and rice.

"Oo, that's weird. Though, I know she is strong. I like the way that she is and I hope nothing changes." Luffy smiled.

Robin was a bit uneasy at this and then saw Luffy staring at her plate, she laughed.

"Here you go," she gave the plate to Luffy. He seemed to explode on his face with the biggest grin.

"Really?!" he asked.

"Un and I won't tell Sanji for you," Luffy smiled a face breaking grin as he took the plate and ate everything on it in six seconds.

"Arigatou Robin would you like me to take this back?" asked Luffy referring to the plate.

"No, I'll take it back; otherwise Sanji will know you ate it."

"Okay, Thanks Robin! If Kaida wakes up, tell her to come out!" he said as he went back out the door, shutting it, and going out onto the deck where the crew was hanging out on at the moment. Luffy felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to hear,

"You're it!" Ussop ran away laughing as Chopper ran around yelling that Luffy was it and for everyone to watch out. Luffy looked happily at Franky who was working on something but he shook his head,

"I'm not playing," he said and then with that. Luffy ran after Ussop and Chopper trying to catch them.

??

Robin looked down at Kaida sadly.

"Kaida, I know you heard that," Robin said. But Kaida only shifted on her bed as she felt a small tear come out of her eye and then fell back into sleep again.
