Trinity had successfully managed to avoid both Kid and Killer since earlier that morning and was starting to think if she waited long enough they'd both just forget it and things could go back to normal, but of course things couldn't go the way she wanted as a familiar voice spoke up from behind her, making her whirl around to find none other than the blue and white masked form of her brother.

"I'm sorry, what'd you say Nii-Killer?"

She asked once she'd gotten her shock and heartbeat under control.

"I said, what do you think of Kid?"

The blonde asked and Trinity blinked several times before his question finally sank in and felt a blush come to her face again and cursed as she quickly looked out at sea hoping Killer hadn't noticed.

"Not much really. He annoys the hell out of me and I hate his arrogant attitude, but nothing else."

She answered then looked up at the blonde curiously.

"Why?"

She asked and received a simple shrug from the masked blonde.

"Just wondering. You've been a part of the crew for almost half a month now and I just wanted to know what you thought of our captain."

He explained and Trinity supposed that was a legit reason. Apparently that had been the only thing Killer wanted since he turned and started walking away, but Trinity called out after him and stopped him.

"About this morning, it was an accident we wound up like that."

She explained, but even as she did she couldn't help but blush as she remembered the position they'd been in and the way Kid had been looking at her just before Killer walked in.

"I guessed as much."

Was all Killer said in response before walking off to no doubt make sure Heat and the others were doing their jobs. Trinity sighed as she heard her stomach rumble. Through avoiding Kid and Killer since this morning, she'd managed to completely forget she hadn't been able to eat anything. Though at the insistent growls from her stomach, the teal haired woman headed for the kitchen, hoping to find it vacant or void of a certain red-haired man.

Kid ignored the people on the island they'd docked at and kept his gaze pinned on the building a few feet away. Ever since answering Killer's question earlier that morning he hadn't been able to get a certain black and teal haired woman out of his head. The scene from that morning kept replaying over and over again in his head and each time he'd notice something different. The way she moved, the way she looked, how her eyes seemed to tell so much, yet hide everything at the same time, how much of her skin was showing because of her pajamas, their position on the floor just before Killer walked in. It was driving him insane and he desperately needed a drink, thus why he had given the idiotic fools staring at him and his crew as they walked by a break and not slaughtered them all. Though he supposed his distraction would work better if the subject of his thoughts wasn't tagging along beside his first mate.

"It'll take about a four for the log pose to set."

Killer informed him as they sat at a booth in one of the corners of the bar. Kid smirked when the bartender sent a waitress their way with drinks without him saying anything, he supposed it wouldn't be too bad to stay a week here.

"Hey Nii-Killer, didn't you say something about a new training technique you'd show me?"

Trinity asked and Kid frowned at being reminded she was there, but hid it behind his drink as he lifted it to his mouth.

"Yeah. It's a little more advanced than what we've been doing, but it should pay off in the end."

The blonde answered and Kid glanced at the woman sitting across from him and this time realized he may have not been fully honest when answering Killer's question earlier about Trinity. Her hair had gotten a little longer since he first saw her, but it was still pretty short. He took in how her pale skin that was paler than even his seemed to stand out thanks to the black off the shoulder halter top she was wearing and though the table blocked his view of them now, he knew her legs were covered in tight blue pants with tears in the knees, something he'd noticed most her pants seemed to have. As she talked with Killer, Kid could see the shooting star tattoo on the inside of her right wrist when she'd gesture with her hands while talking and frowned when he realized he was paying too much attention the woman that had made him want a drink in the first place.

Distractions, as it turned out, seemed to come to those who needed them most. Of that, Kid was grateful for. Heat had foolishly challenged him to a drinking contest that he had no hope of winning, but it was certainly a welcome form of entertainment for the red-haired Supernova. He laughed as Heat slumped over from having passed out and lifted his drink to his lips to finish it off, only to have it snagged out of his hand. Glaring instantly and dagger already drawn ready to kill whoever stole his drink, Kid froze and stared rather disbelieving as he saw Trinity take a drink from his mug before handing it back and getting to her feet.

"Oi! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"

He snarled at her and saw her turn to look at him. He frowned when he saw her smile at him.

"Standing, and what you're doing is called sitting."

She said in a tone most used for talking to little children. Kid glared at her and she seemed to come to her senses and not push him.

"I wanted a drink and yours was the closest."

She said with a shrug like it was no big deal and Kid glared at her even more as he got to his feet.

"Get your own damn drinks then bitch!"

He snapped and for a second thought he saw her eyes darken, but when he looked again they looked like the same light-blue color they always were.

"My name's Trinity, not bitch."

She said, the indifferent tone gone from her voice and replaced by a slightly harsher one that had Kid faltering for a second.

"Night Nii-Killer!"

Trinity suddenly said, voice back to being jovial as she walked towards the entrance of the bar to head back to the ship, but paused before leaving. Kid glared at her when she looked back at him and a smirk appeared on her face.

"Night, Eustass."

She said and slipped out the door before the metal objects he'd sent her way could hit her. He grumbled angrily under his breath as he took his seat again when he heard her laughing from outside the bar. That woman had a death wish.

Four days seemed to pass with a blur much to Trinity's happiness, and they were all heading back to the ship. The island was nice, and was decent in size, but there was only so many things that kept her entertained and since Kid and Killer practically stayed in the bar the whole time, she had been bored the majority of their stay on the island.

"So, any clue as go where we'll be heading next?"

Trinity asked as she spun on her heel and started walking backwards while keeping her eyes on the blonde walking beside Kid.

"I'm not sure and would have to check with Maru to confirm it, but I think the next island is called Dorbeku. It's known as a really big tourist attraction because of its natural hot springs, the wildlife, and booze."

Killer explained and Trinity smiled at the thought of getting to relax in a hot spring. One look at Kid and she knew the reason behind his smirk, the booze. That and killing were usually the only two things on their Captain's mind and Trinity couldn't help but shake her head at him. She supposed it was a good thing he wasn't like some other captains and thinking of stupid shit like a certain Strawhat she'd heard so much about. Though, it wasn't all bad things she'd heard about the young captain. She'd heard he attacked Enis Lobby to save a crewmate, risked having an admiral called and punched one of the Celestial Dragons because they had shot a friend of his, broke into Impel Down to try and save his brother who was going to be executed, had taken part in what was most likely the biggest war of the century to try and save his brother, only to have his brother save him in the end and die. The young captain certainly had been through a lot and though Trinity had never met him, she respected him. To go through all that for the sake of your crew and your family, the boy was definitely someone she wanted to meet.

"Why'd you ask Rin?"

Killer asked, pulling Trinity from her thoughts of the Strawhat captain and her light-blue eyes looked at where Killer's would be if the mask wasn't in the way.

"I was just wondering if I could go to th-"

She started to explain, only to get interrupted.

"Freeze pirates!"

Trinity turned away from Killer to see they had been surrounded by a bunch of marines.

"Nii-Killer, is it bad that I've wondered how long it would be before my first run-in with the marines?"

She asked in a hushed voice as Kid said something to the marine captain that had ordered them to freeze before hearing screaming. It only took one guess to know that Kid had already started fighting back.

"No Rin, it's not."

Killer said and Trinity could hear the amusement in his voice as he slipped his scythes out of the armguards under his sleeves and jumping over her head to join Kid in the fight against the marines. Trinity couldn't help but smile as she watched her crew fighting the marines that had been foolish enough to confront them.

"You, are you with these pirates?"

A voice to Trinity's left had her shifting her gaze from Killer cutting down a few marines to the one who was addressing her.

"And if I am?"

She asked and the only response she got was him charging at her with his sword raised above his head. She easily side-stepped him before kicking his feet out from under him and making him go face first into the ground.

"You sure you're a marine?"

Trinity asked with a sigh as she called forth her spirits and let them wrap around her hand. She saw the marine roll himself over and scowl up at her for her words before his eyes widened when he saw what she was doing.

"W-What are you!?"

He asked, fear clear in his voice and Trinity sighed again. She would be the one stuck with a marine that practically wet his pants because she could do something he hadn't seen before.

"If you want to get technical, I'm a witch."

She replied in a bored tone as she walked towards the downed marine. She saw him try to get away from her in a weird backwards crabwalk-like motion, only to have his back hit the wall of a nearby building.

"Nowhere left to run now."

She said with a smirk as she advanced on him and saw his eyes widen even more in fear as she got closer.

"No! Stay away!"

He screamed and Trinity wasted no time in sending her spirits towards the man and choking him. It not only pissed her off to have gotten such a weak opponent, but it was a disgrace to the ugly uniform he wore to not even put up a fight to the bitter end.

Trinity walked back over to where her crewmates were fighting the rest of the marines and helped in getting rid of most of their numbers. She stopped after having torn one marine in half and couldn't help but stare at the bloody marine uniform on the ground at her feet. She felt anger well up in her as she remembered when her sister had told her where their father was. The bastard had left them and their mother the moment he found out she was pregnant with Trinity. He'd left and joined the marines so he wouldn't have to deal with another child. The marines in her world and the world she'd been brought to may not be the same, but it still pissed her off all the same.

"Fucking bastards."

She growled out and heard something behind her. She turned just in time to avoid having her head chopped off by a marine's sword. Trinity narrowed her eyes at the marine before ducking down as he sent his sword after her a second time and punched him in the gut, making him double over and drop his sword. Blue-violet eyes met dark brown as Trinity reached down and picked up the marine's fallen sword and saw his eyes widen when she suddenly shoved it through his abdomen. He opened his mouth to say something, but Trinity pushed him away from her and he fell to the ground at her feet, never getting to say what he'd started to as she walked on.

"Get the woman! She's not as strong as the rest of them!"

One of the marines shouted as Trinity was moving to join the fight closer to Kid and Killer, only to stop when she heard that. She absolutely hated when someone underestimated her simply because she was a woman.

"Say that to my face you asshole!"

She shouted at the marines advancing on her and heard most of them laugh at her comment, which only served to piss her off more.

"Attack!"

The order was shouted by someone, Trinity couldn't tell who, but the result was instantaneous. Marines charged at Trinity from every angle, hoping to overwhelm her with sheer number and she smirked as they got closer before calling her spirits to her again and having them weave around the marines as she ducked and dodged swords and fists. She had her spirits rip apart the marines unfortunate enough to get caught by them and killed the rest herself, using their own weapons of course.

"Who are you?"

One marine asked as she pinned his arm behind his back and held his own sword against his neck.

"Trinity Bonney of the Kid Pirates."

She answered before dragging the blade across his skin and kicking him at a couple of marines that were charging towards her, knocking them to the ground. The sound of someone yelling from behind her alerting Trinity to move just in time to avoid a sword slicing through her skin, though it did catch the bottom part of her shirt and ripped it.

"Fucking A man, I liked this shirt."

She said with a frown as she looked down and saw that her shirt had pretty much been made into an off the shoulder tubetop-like shirt, leaving her midriff exposed including the sparrow tattoo on her left hip and the black rose with white outlining on her right.

"That wasn't very nice."

Trinity said, looking up at the marine that had just ruined her shirt and he pulled a pistol from his pelt and aimed it straight at her head. She moved as he pulled the trigger, but she wasn't quick enough to dodge it and cried out as the bullet grazed her shoulder.

"Die you pirate whore!"

The marine shouted and before Trinity could respond, he shoved his sword through her stomach all the way to the hilt and Trinity felt like everything froze before starting to move in slow motion. She heard someone calling her name before the marine smirking down at her was suddenly cut down. She felt her legs give out and thought she was going to hit the ground, but felt someone catch her.

"KID!"

She heard what sounded like Killer's voice call out and thought she heard Kid shout out a few curses and ask what the fuck he wanted before the red-head appeared in her suddenly blurry vision.

"Damn, what the fuck happened!?"

He asked, but Trinity didn't hear Killer's response. She could barely hear anything but what sounded like muffled voices and her vision was starting to go too.

"...have...out before...l..osing...much blood..."

Trinity frowned because she couldn't figure out who was speaking or what they were saying, but she screamed when she suddenly felt someone pull the sword out of her stomach. She wanted to cuss out whoever did it, but her world went black shortly after and she couldn't see who it was.

Kitera: Cliffhangers, oh aren't they wonderful? Don't worry, Rin won't die, but I thought she was doing too well and decided she needed to get injured. That, and this helps with what I have planned!
