A/N: I would like to start off by saying thanks to a-redharlequin for going over this chapter and making sure it made sense. Because I felt kind of crazy as I wrote it and I wasn't sure if it was up to par or if I was just writing nonsense. You can find her on Tumblr, go over and bug her and what not. She has an amazing KidLaw story you should also read.

Okay back to this now. It is a bit of Law's back-story. I hope you enjoy. I will see you at the end of the chapter

*Kid's POV*

"Well we have time for a sob story." I told him trying my best to pry information out of him. I didn't want him to know how interested I really was.

"It's not really that great of a *cough* story but I guess I can tell you if you *cough* really wanted to know." I shrugged, trying to act lIke I didn't really care, but on the inside my stomach was doing some really weird flips. I wasn't even sure why I was so interested. I hated the guy or at least I thought I did. I didn't have time to mull over it before he continued.

"My father, he was a doctor and my mother was a *cough* nurse. We lived in a small town in Italy. They ran the hospital. I... I wanted to be a great doctor like my father. I studied day and night, they couldn't pull me away from the books. Will you hand me some water?" Law paused and asked me. I grabbed him a bottle and he took a swig before continuing on. "I went to school and read every medical text I could get my hands on. The other students thought I was a bit *cough* odd but they didn't dislike me. My... my little sister, she didn't want to be a doctor, she wanted to be a performer. She wanted to dance and sing, anything to put her in the spotlight. She was always *cough* singing for the sick patients and putting on plays for the sick kids. She brought smiles to everyone's faces. Then one day, a sickness swept through the village. It started out small at first but soon it claimed everyone, myself included. We were quarantined. We thought that help woud come. My father begged for supplies but they all turned him away. Within a week we had ran out of pretty much everything. Everyone's health was declining, myself, my father, mother, and sister included. Then we heard helicopters. We thought that it was to help us, turns out it was quite the opposite. My father met the men at the door and he... he was shot down, my mother seconds after him. I saw it happen from the doorway. I did what I thought was best. I ran to my sister's room and hid her, promising... promising I would be back." He trailed off. I could hear the pain in his voice when he spoke.

"Hey, you don't have to tell me. I didn't-" Law cut me off.

"I've started. I told you it was a *cough* sob story." Law burst into a coughing fit and I thought for sure he would be done but he continued on after it died down. "I jumped out a window in hopes of looking for an escape. My teacher, she saw me and told me that they were letting the kids leave. She tried to push me in line with the others but I told her I had to save my sister. I ran back to the hospital but when I got there, it was up in flames. Every patient in there was being burned alive and I could hear their every scream. I tried to run back in for my sister but the men were coming so I ran. I was small enough to stay out of their sight. I managed to escape the town but as I later found out, I was the only one. Everyone had been killed. The government claimed it was some 'experiments gone wrong'. They said my family was the cause. They told everyone that my parents had been experimenting on patients and almost let an epidemic loose. What they didn't want to tell the public was that it was really their fault. There had been a nuclear power plant hidden in the mountains by our town. Something went wrong and we had no idea. The illness that the government covered up was radioactive sickness. They had poisoned us and had to cover it up. So they claimed that my parents had created a highly contagious disease that killed our entire town. I only figured out because I had heard some of the soldiers talk about it. I knew that I didn't have long. So I ran. I ran and ran for days until my body gave out. I thought I was surely dead. Then someone found me. He took me somewhere and tried to nurse me back to health. When that didn't work, he took me to hospitals. One after another he was turned away. Somehow he had known where I was from and when he told the doctors, they freaked out and called the cops on us thinking they too were going to die. This went on for days. The man who rescued me grew more desperate by the hour. He turned away from hospitals and turned to witch doctors and voodoo doctors. Honestly at the time I just wanted to die. I didn't understand why this stranger was trying to save me. I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up next this strange tall blonde man was looming over me with a smile on his face. When he talked though I recognized the voice. It was the man who had saved me. He told me that he had found a doctor to cure me. He also told me I had been in a coma for a week. It took a while but eventually we were able to leave the witch doctor's house and go on our own. For years I wanted to die and I hated the man. I resented him for saving me but over time I grew attached to him. I learned that he was as alone as I was and he had saved me because he felt I would save him. If you haven't guessed already, that man was Corazon." Law finished.

For once in my life I was out of words. I had no smart alec remark, no asshole comment, nothing. I was stunned into silence.

"Law.. I.. I had no idea." I finally stammered out. When there was no reply I turned to look at him. He was completely still. I jumped up and checked his pulse. For a slight second I thought I had lost him but I felt it, it was faint but it was there. I grabbed his phone off his table and called his father. No sooner had I told him what happened the line went dead. Minutes later the door burst open and Cora and Chopper were both pushing me out of the way. I stood back and watched as Chopper barked out orders to Cora. The clumsy man didn't even trip once as he bolted from the room to grab whatever Chopper wanted. I sat on my bed, eyes glued to Law, willing him to wake up.

A bit later Corazon came back with an oxygen tank and mask. Chopper hooked him up and checked his vitals.

"He's stable."

*Law's POV*

When I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was the darkness. The second thing I noticed was the stiffness in my body. The last thing I noticed was that I had something on my face. I reached up to pull it off but a pain in my arm stopped me. I used my other hand to pull the mask off and feel around for what what in my arm. It felt like an IV. I tried to assess the situation as best I could. I had an IV in and an oxygen mask on. I tried to rack my brain but I couldn't pull anything to the surface. I let out a frustrated sigh and let my hand drop back on the bed. Instead of hitting mattress though, I hit flesh. There was a strange noise and then some rustling. The next thing I knew, the light was being turned on and I was blinded. I threw my hand up to shield my eyes and immediately regretted it because it was the arm with the IV.

"Law! You're awake!" My father yelled out as he loomed over me.

"Please don't yell." I murmured, pulling my blanket over my face.

"Don't yell? Don't yell? You have been asleep for three days! Sorry if my yelling offends you." He told me.

"Three days?" I asked.

"Yes. You were in bad condition when Chopper and I left but I figured you would be fine. As soon as Eustass called I thought for sure I had lost you." Cora told me, taking my hand and giving it a squeeze. I gently squeezed it back and peeked at him from under the covers. He had tears in his eyes. I felt a tightness in my chest. I hadn't meant to cause him worry yet again.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"It's okay. I'm just glad you're awake." Cora said, taking a seat on my bed. I rubbed my temple. I had a headache from hell.

"Wait, you said you and Chopper left and Kid was the one who called you?" I questioned, Cora's words just sinking in. He nodded. "I.. I don't remember that. I remember Kid and Chopper leaving. When did you and Chopper leave?" Cora gave me a concerned glance.

"You don't remember nearly passing out at your desk?" My father asked. I shook my head. I remembered teasing Kid about playing doctor, and then him leaving with Chopper, but after that it got fuzzy. "Fuck." I muttered.

At that moment a door opened and I looked to the noise. Kid was walking out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and another in his hand drying his hair. He looked like shit. He had dark circles under his eyes and it looked like he had lost a few pounds. However his chest was healing and he didn't seem to be sick.

"Law you're awake." Kid said, giving me a smile. I could hear excitement in his voice.

"Seems I'm not dead so that means you don't get the room to yourself." I smirked.

"Damn I guess I'll have to try harder next time. How are you feeling?" He ask, moving to stand by my bed.

"I hurt, I feel like shit, and I don't remember what happened the day that I blacked out. All in all, I'd say not too bad." I teased. Kid's face fell. Something I said had upset him. "What?" I questioned, looking from the redhead to my father. Cora just shrugged and Kid shook his head.

"It's nothing." He said, turning away and walking to the closet.

"No it's something. What happened that I can't remember?" I pressed, now curious.

"Nothing." He shrugged, throwing on a shirt and a pair of shorts. He tossed his towels on the bed before walking to the door.

"I'm going to get some food." Was all he said before leaving.

"What was that about?" I asked Cora.

"I'm not sure what happened while you two were alone but he hasn't slept much since you passed out. He's been pacing the room and studying your notes. He made enough of the cure to finishing injecting the dorm but I think he's been trying to find a cure for the other strand, even though he has no idea what he's doing. He finally surrendered your notebook to Chopper so he can work. Some good news though, Chopper thinks he is close to cracking it. He says we might have a cure by today." Cora explained. I nodded.

My head was swimming. I felt like I was trying to put together a puzzle with no corner pieces. I had been asleep for three days, I had lost half the day that I was conscious, Kid was acting weird, and Chopper almost had the cure. I took a deep breath before reaching for my phone. I text Kid.

To Satan- What happened that I can't remember?

I didn't have to wait long for a reply.

From Satan- Nothing it's no big deal

To Satan- It kind of is. I can't remember. Do you know how annoying that is?

From Satan- You just told me about your past and how you were sick. No big deal

I read the last message a few times. I must have been really delusional to have told him that. I had never told anyone that story. Granted I had never been close enough with anyone to tell them that story. So that was why Kid was avoiding me. He saw me as a ticking time bomb. However that didn't explain why he had been so worried about me while I was unconscious. I didn't feel like playing games so I decided to just ask him.

To Satan- Then why are you avoiding me?

From Satan- I'm not. I came to get food. I was hungry.

To Satan- That's a lie. We both know it. Just tell me the truth. Are you worried that I am going to give you some 'incurable' disease now?

From Satan- No! Just drop it. I'll be back up in a few. Bye

I rolled over, being careful of my IV and eyed Cora. He was passed out. He must not have slept at all. I felt so bad. This wasn't the first time I had worried him like this. I sat up and gently laid him down on my bed and moved to my desk.

A/N: So there you have it. I hope you aren't too disappointed. It took me a while to come up with this because honestly, I had no idea what I was going to do. However this happened, so yeah. Can't wait to see you next week.

Mezaron- Kid is more bronze than brain but at times he can be serious, or atleast try. Cora is an adorable clumsy fire prone birdie ^^. I can't wait to get to some KidLaw drama either. It's gonna be fun!

MissFennoSwede- Lol Law's little sexy fail might be a bit of past experiences xD (we won't get into though lol). Okay, okay. Enough of the fist slams. Here it is, please don't hurt me!
