Chapter ten
Eustass "Captain" Kid has not felt this annoyed for a long time. Not only was Suiren able to avoid his attacks, but was able to come out unscathed.
"Tch."
His normal attacks won't do. Knives, swords and other objects would just pass through her without giving her a scratch. 'Fucking logias. What god thought it was a good idea to have these types of fucking devil fruits?!'
"Kid-chan, I'm not interested in fighting you to be honest." Suiren said as she let out a sigh. She straightened her form and walked over to the Captain.
"You're fucking annoying, you know." Kid scowled. He lowered the objects that were originally in the air and sheathed the knives and swords. There was no point in fighting this woman. It'd only bring unwanted attention and waste their time.
Unfazed by his words, Suiren gave him a smile and grabbed his arm.
"H-Hey get off me! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"
Kid looked at the woman in disbelief. Just a second ago, they were fighting with the intent to kill, but here she was grabbing on to him as if she was his best friend.
Ignoring his protests and the laughter of the rest of the Kid pirates, Suiren dragged the infamous ruthless pirate with her into the town.
"Lets get something to eat, neh Kid-chan."
"Don't call me – chan, you demon."
"De-Demon?" She let go of Kid's arm. "If anyone's the demon it's you…" She muttered, pouting at the nickname.
After a few more steps, she stopped right in front of Kid, causing the man to run into her.
"Fuck are you stopping for?!" He glared.
Instead of answering, Suiren only rolled her eyes and pointed at the restaurant in front.
"I'm hungry~!"
A growl emitted from his throat at the annoying girl in front of him and followed the pinkette into the eatery.
A string of curses could be heard coming out of Kid's mouth as they entered.
"Welcome~!" The waitress greeted. She was a pretty thing, wavy blonde hair and bright vibrant blue eyes. She sported a typical waitress uniform. Her warm eyes were quickly replaced by fear as she saw Kid. She froze and visibly shook.
This didn't go by unnoticed by Suiren. Kid on the other hand, was too busy burning holes into Suiren's head, and silently cursing her existence.
"Y-Your tables ov-over here." She trembled. She slowly motioned the two to a small table near the window. "Pl-Please let me kn-know if you need anything."
"No need to be nervous, miss." Suiren smiled, trying to comfort the quaking girl. "He won't hurt you, I promise."
"Eh?" Kid looked up at the waitress as if noticing her for the first time. "You're just going to assume that I'll hurt you? Maybe I will kill you." A sadistic smile crossed his features. If possible, the waitress trembled even more. She took a step back and brought her notepad close to her chest.
"N-No please don't!"
Kid took out a knife from underneath his coat. As if performing a show, he brought the knife to his dark lips and licked the metal, the smile never leaving his face.
Suiren sighed and rolled her eyes. "Don't be so pretentious."
Kid averted his gaze to the woman sitting in front of him. He glared. "Maybe I'll kill you first." He threatened as he brought the knife towards her neck, almost touching her skin.
A malicious smile crossed her features and she leaned forward, allowing the knife to touch her pale skin. "That is… if you can…"
His glare intensified.
"Tch."
He removed his knife and put it back inside his coat. "Give me a plate of Tamagoyaki (a)."
"And a plate of Tako Nigiri (b) for me please."
The waitress hastily nodded and hurried away.
"Tch, stupid women."
"Don't be rude." She huffed, crossing her arms. "It's not her fault she's scared of you."
"Fuck is there to be scared about?"
"Fuck is there to be scared about?" She repeated. Suiren couldn't believe her ears. 'Is he serious?'
"You're cruel!" She accused. "Maybe if you didn't kill people for fun, people wouldn't be scared of you."
Kid scoffed and crossed his left leg upon his right, sitting in a relaxed manner. "We only kill those who get in my way."
Suiren sighed. "You're unbelievable."
"Che, why the hell do I have to stay here with you?!" Kid yelled, pointing at Suiren.
"Because I'll be lonely if you leave!" She cried, holding his pointer finger.
"O-Oi woman! Let go of my finger!"
"No! I don't want to! Not unless you promise to stay!"
"Alright you demon-spawn! We'll stay until that damn Law comes!"
In the background, Killer chuckled. "It's strange for you to comply."
"It's better to agree than to argue with that bitch." He grumbled as he headed for his room. He didn't have the patience to deal with the petite girl anymore.
He thought back to Killer's statement. Why he even agreed to her, he didn't know. He could have easily just left. Admittingly, there was something about the girl he liked. Maybe it was the way she challenged him, he didn't know. It's a shame she was already committed to a crew.
"Excuse you! Stop cheating!"
"I'm not cheating! Don't be a sore loser!"
He sighed in irritation and slammed his hand into the wall.
"What the fuck are you guys arguing about!?" He roared.
Instead of the ruckus that was present earlier, only silence filled the air, followed by two short knocks on his door.
"What the fuck do you want?!" He bellowed.
The door creaked open and there stood the pink haired woman with purple orbs staring straight at him.
"Yo."
An irk mark appeared on his temple. 'Yo?!'
"What do you want?" He sighed. He didn't feel yelling anymore. He brushed a hand through his flame red hair and sat down on his bed.
"Heat is cheating."
If possible, the irk mark that was present on his temple grew.
"He's a bully. Punish him Kid-chan."
"You…" he started. The irk mark on his temple, bigger than ever. "YOU CAME IN HERE JUST TO TELL ME THAT?!"
Suiren glowered at the volume of his voice and pouted.
"Yes… punish him Kid-chan!" She cried, flinging her arms like a child.
Kid was at his limit. His patience limit is only so high. With a flash, he pinned Suiren to the wall.
She stopped her crying almost immediately at the new sudden pressure on her body.
"Excuse me."
Kid was surprised at the sudden change in tone. However he maintained his grip on her arms.
"This is not a comfortable position to be in."
Kid only smirked. "But it got you to shut the fuck up right?"
Suiren turned her head and tried to cover her blush. 'What's with boys and pinning people against the wall?!'
"Oi! Law! You said we would be at the next island in ten minutes! It's been twenty!" Suiren whined as she stomped her foot. Her formed a small pout and glared at the captain.
Law had his eyes closed and was sitting in the chair in the control room. Bepo and the other navigators had left to the gallery.
"Answer me!" She wailed.
Law's eyebrow started to twitch. Suiren has been nagging him nonstop for the past five minutes. It's a miracle he hasn't snapped and threw her off the sub.
"Shut up."
"Law-ne! I just want to be on land. I'm tired of being in this hot and stuffy sub!"
"You sound like Bepo."
She stopped her tantrum. In her mind, an image of the white polar bear in her mind moping about the hot sub. She sweat-dropped.
"A-Ah gomen… WAIT. Don't change the subject!" She accused, stomping her foot once again. "When will be on the next island? LAW!"
Before Suiren could utter another word, Law got up from his seat and walked towards childish woman.
Suiren stopped and watched Law. She took a step backwards as he walked forward, with that every knowing smile plastered on his face.
She kept backing until she felt the cold metal of the wall on her back. "Wh-What are you doing?"
Law didn't answer. He only leaned closer to the pinkette and as Suiren lifted her arms to push him away, he pinned her arms to the wall.
"L-Law…."
'He's too close…'
Law leaned even closer and Suiren could feel his hot breath near on her neck. She blushed and tilted her head.
"Even if you throw a fit, the sub won't move any faster."
Suiren could feel the mocking tone in his voice. Is possible, her blush deepened even more.
"Captain! We've arrived on land!" Bepo said over the loudspeaker.
Slowly Law got off Suiren and walked over to the door.
Suiren only slid to the ground, trying to use the dim litted room to cover her blush.
"You know… you're actually cute when you don't talk." He grinned.
Suiren's snapped towards Kid and glared. She paid no attention to the closeness of their faces. "Fuck you. I'm cute all the time."
Kid frowned. He wasn't expecting such a response. He expected her to be at least a little shy. 'Cocky bitch.'
"A bit conceited aren't you Princess (c)?" With those words he closed the space between them.
Suiren's eyes widen and froze at the soft contact of Kid's lips and all the thoughts that were in her head disappeared. Her mind was blank and her body wouldn't move.
Kid silently laughed and took the chance to bite her bottom lip. He felt her gasp and took the chance to deepen the kiss.
With the foreign touch in her mouth, she finally realized what was happening. She swiftly bit down on his tongue and regained her arms. She glared at the man before her.
"This is sexual assault."
A/N: Ok just for clarification. No, Suiren and Kid won't end up as a couple. This is a Law story. There's actually a reason for this temporary onesided suirenxkid.
(a) Tamagoyaki : a type of Japaneseomelette, which is made by rolling together several layers of cooked egg. The one kid ordered had that placed ontop of rice.
(b) Tako Nigiri: octopus sushi. It's a thinly sliced octopus (raw or cooked) then placed ontop of rice and wrapped with a band of seaweed.
(c) Yes Suiren comes off as really cocky. Remember she grew up rich, so she's spoiled and being cocky is just another bad trait of hers.
