Sorry for the wait, hehe. I was busy and did this chapter the other day. Editing it today :D. Also, while writing this, I listened to Yiruma - River Flows in You. Listen to it! Especially if you liek the piano or the twilight series. Its supposed to be edwards lullaby for Bella :D Okay, now also, this chapter isn't very exciting, though I do tell you that excitment will come soon! So without any further ado...Chapter 10! :D

Midnight Breeze

Robin had come out of the medical room for dinner and then went to bed after from the exhaustion. Chopper had gone to check on Kaida, checking her heart rate, her bandages, and her blood pressure before finding out that she was fine and then proceeding back to the men's room to go to bed.

??

It was a bit past midnight when Kaida woke up. She stiffly stood up, her back and neck hurting her, though in a few movements more, the pain seemed to numb them out. Kaida put her legs so they were off the bed and she sat there for a while thinking while looking at the wall. She thought of why Luffy said he didn't want her to change, in what way did he mean it anyway? How long was she asleep? What did she dream about? Random questions came through, in and out, of her mind, soon, and finally though, the wall had come into her vision through her daydreams and she realized the she had been just sitting there for a while. Kaida looked at the clock that was on Chopper's desk. It said 2:46 am, she sighed. Kaida didn't feel sleepy at the moment, and wanted to feel some fresh air. She thought weather anyone was out there but went against it. The only person that would be out there is the person on duty, and they would be in the crows nest keeping an eye out for any intruders. Kaida didn't want anyone to see her, so instead she decided to just go out for a minute to see if the person up there was keeping a good watch, or if it was Zoro, who would probably be sleeping. Kaida stood up, shaky and wobbly, using the desks support as she started to walk towards the door. She opened it, looking down the small hallway that led to the outside. All she needed was to get past the kitchen and all would be fine, plus no one should've been in there. Kaida tiptoed out, closing the door quietly as she went towards the outside, the ship slowly being rocketed back and forth from the waves below. The fresh sea breeze filled her nostrils as she started to 'enter' the outside of the hallway. She looked around the grassy area, and then at the crows nest above. She saw that the lights in it were off, and concluded that it was Zoro who was up there, sleeping instead of on duty.

Kaida walked to the railing on the side of the ship and looked out into the ocean. It was calm and peaceful, she thought of everything again, landing on her red eyes as the main subject, but didn't think of it as that bad.

I don't feel anything different about me, no pressure is applied to my eyes, in fact I feel I see a little bit better, there is more light shown.

Since Kaida had been used to the darkness, everything came easy to her, but with her eyes, she could see in the darkness more, as if there was some little amount of light. Kaida sighed as her hand grasped the railing slowly. She thought about Luffy, and all of his crewmates; the only one that seemed to know the most about her was Robin. Sanji knew her…on a different level, as in the friendship part. Zoro and her were more of a silent kind of friendship, but she knew that they would progress. Nami was nice, though seemed a bit demanding, it was okay. Chopper seemed to help anything that needed help, from her to wounded animals (she thought). Ussop loved to build things, and seemed to have a very creative mind. Franky was also very artistic, it seemed as if he liked this ship a lot and wanted to keep it in good condition all the time.

Kaida didn't know them all, but their personalities, she was starting to get. The last thought Kaida thought of was, Luffy. The first time they had met, she was in trouble and he and Sanji fought for her in the bar. Then, the second time was when they helped her out of the barrel, and the first time she had her powers used. She was now glad that she had something to protect herself with. Though, even if she was afraid of them a little, she still wanted them. Otherwise, she would be nothing to the crew, but she didn't want to be different either.

It all comes back she thought sadly. Her appearance, it wasn't meant to happen, and she actually wondered why it did happen. Maybe because she had used the color red more than any of the other colors? But that wouldn't have worked, because then she would've had blue, green, and yellow eyes before. Kaida was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear the footsteps behind her before a finger tapped in her shoulder. She was a bit surprised but then turned around slowly. Instead of a Zoro she thought would be there, it was a Franky.

"Oh, hello Franky, are you doing the night shift tonight?" asked Kaida.

"Ah, yea I am, I was just in the kitchen. Heh, I was hungry," he said embarrassed. Kaida smiled a small smile and looked at Franky. "Hey, you know, I can make you a room if you like, the other girls have one, so making one for you shouldn't be a problem," said Franky happily. Kaida thought for a while and then looked up at the crows nest.

"Umm, actually, do you mind if I take a look in the crows nest?" she asked.

"Not at all, come on!" Franky knew that Kaida would have some trouble going up the stairs so he bent down and piggy backed her to the crows nest and then set her down.

"Wow…" she breathed as she looked around, it was her first time seeing it, and it was wonderful."It's so beautiful," the windows surrounded the entire room, and she could see everything perfectly. There was a closet and when she checked in it, she can see a huge amount of weights placed in it, and a small part of the crows nest had turned into a weight room, mainly for Zoro. There were couches here and there, and a small table at where she could set food and drinks if someone was to watch here and get hungry. Kaida smiled again as she thought of the view, but as she looked in her reflection, she noticed something…her eyes. It was brighter in the crows nest, and she hadn't looked at Franky yet because she was too busy admiring the room, so he hadn't seen it, and outside was probably too dark for him to see her eyes. Without turning around Kaida said, "Franky, do you have…any extra pairs of sunglasses?" She heard Franky shift a bit, though didn't look at him, even through the reflection because she felt his gaze on her, and she knew he would look into her eyes, so she kept them downcast as she waited for his answer.

"Well…I think I do, though it's in the lower part of the ship, would you like to borrow one?"

"Yes please. It would help me tomorrow morning, though, I may need it for a while, or at least we get to the next island, and then I'll give them back. Is that okay?"

"Sure, that's fine! We're friends and we can do anything!" he had come up to her and patted her lightly on the back, though it hurt her a little. "Oh, sorry!"

"No, its okay, it's numbing away, so I'm fine. Since I can't really go back down, do you mind if I sleep up here on one of the couches?" she asked.

"No, its okay go ahead, there's enough in here. You stay while I'll get a blanket and pillow for you, okay?" Kaida nodded, still facing away from him. As soon as she heard the door close, she turned around slowly and proceeded to a couch where she lay down. She laid there for a moment, wondering how would have Franky reacted if he had seen her, but before she got to think it over, she had fallen asleep.

Franky came in with a pair of sunglasses, a pillow and a blanket. He smiled lightly at the sleeping Kaida as he lifted her head and laid it back down onto the pillow, put the blanket over her, and then put the sunglasses on the table next to her. He looked over, just to make sure everything was okay before going to the other side of the room, taking up a chair, and looking outside. As he did, he thought of where and what he would make her room look like. She seemed to like seeing outside, if she could sleep outside she might, though it wouldn't seem as comfortable and she'd be to open. He thought of making a room up here and thought of it as a good idea. He thought it through, making some plans in his mind as he added dimensions and figures in. He smiled as he looked at her and could imagine seeing a huge grin on her when he finished her room. Franky looked outside again, thinking again as the night…or morning…past by and the sun rose, making the new day official to everyone.
