Chapter 12: What Kidd Hates

"Yo Traffy." Kidd said. Before him stood and irritated Trafalgar Law. The circles under his eyes were darker than normal and his skin was paler too. Valerie peeked out from behind Kidd.

"Law, you look terrible." He glared venomously at her.

"Thanks." He replied sarcastically. Valerie walked to him with a worried expression.

"Seriously. Are you alright?"

"Just fine." Valerie smirked.

"Awww~ Did you have trouble sleeping because I wasn't there?" Law's eyes narrowed and he shot daggers.

"Seems that way to me too." Kidd interjected. Law fixed him with his glare.

"You two seem to be getting alone well."Law said trying to get the subject off of himself. He really hadn't gotten much sleep and he was in no mood to deal with these two idiots. His plan backfired however.

"Why, gee, Kidd. It sounds to me like Mr. Trafalgar's jealous." Valerie said with a mock gasp. She held her hand over her mouth in surprise.

"I believe you are correct." he replied, following up with her act.

Law fumed on the inside and turned his back to them, walking towards the sub. If he was only going to have to put up with idiots in town, he might as well go back to the sub and attempt to him, Valerie was giggled like a hyena and Kidd was chuckling darkly.

"Captain!"Shachi shouted running toward the group. "Marines found the ship! We're under attack!" He wheezed out. Law smirked. The perfect opportunity to let off some steam had just presented itself. Behind him Valerie cackled.

"This is gonna be fun." she said darkly moving to stand by Law. She turned her head and said, "Kiddy if you come with us you'll see something interesting."

"Sure." he said and shrugged. With that the four of them set off running through the town to the sub. When they reached it, marines had swarmed the little clearing and nearly every member of the crew was fighting. Law pulled his nodachi off his back and before he could unsheathe it, it was snatched from his hands.

"Law, lemme borrow this, kay?" Valerie said running into the fray. Before she was too far she pull the sheath off and tossed it to its owner.

She swung it gracefully at a man who'd charged at her. The blade hit him in the throat and his head rolled to a stop at her feet. "Hmm." She hummed with slight annoyance. "You're defiant. I was aiming for their eyes. But none the less you've earn your name." She held the sword out in front of her and slide her fingers now the flat side. Her index finger slightly grazed the sharp edge and the skin there immediately split open. "Perfection. Kikoku, you are absolute perfection."

Another ambitious man show up with his sword raised above his head. Valerie swung again and this time she didn't miss her target. The blade easily split the skin and bone from his left ear to his right.

A look of confusion passed over Kidd's face. "Who's is talking to?"

"Kikoku. MY nodachi." As they watched Valerie began a dance. A dance of Death where all who fell in her path were slaughtered. She kept the tempo. 1 2 3. 2 2 3. 3 2 3. 4 2 3 . With each count a man fell. When she nearly cut down a comrade, the Heart Pirates knew to steer clear of her. She was quickly clearing the battle field of the living and filling it with the dead.

When the last man fell, she lowered the sword and the clearing erupted into cheer. Law and Kidd stared in awe, though it didn't show nearly as much as it was on Kidd's face. He left Law's sided and walked over to Valerie. He clapped her on the back and grins spread across their faces.

"You should join my crew instead." Kidd said half-joking. The amusement vanished from Law's eyes, he knew what would happened, but he had to see it for himself.

"You serious?" Valerie asked suspiciously.

"Sure. You're interesting and useful. Not something you can say about most bitches these days."

"Okay." The clearing silenced. Kidd was slightly taken by surprise. He hadn't actually thought she'd agree. Law's men were just as loyal as his own, and on the Kidd Pirate ship either you're loyal or you die. There were a few things that Kidd really could not tolerate no matter who's crew. Disloyalty was at the top of the list.

Before Valerie or anyone else for that matter could process it, Kidd drew his sword and drove it right through her chest. Law's eyes widened a fraction.

Valerie stared wide-eyed at Kidd. He pulled his sword from her chest and flug the blood onto the ground. Imediately after the sword was gone Valerie's legs gave out and she crashed to the ground. As she fell the light faded from her eyes and the pain that was splashed across her face faded away with it.

Law turned his back on them and sigh. He didn't feel enough attachment towards Valerie to avenge her death, but something in the back of his mind kept telling to turn back around as he walked away. Right before he stepped into the tree and small weak groan reached his ears. He wheeled around to find Kidd staring at Valerie's back. He looked and saw the wound was closing up. Another groan the resembled and frogs croak and Valerie slowly pushed herself up on shaking arms.

"That hurt."
