Thanks for all the great reviews! here's the next chapter.


Chapter 14

"What?! You can't be serious!" Luffy yelled, successfully spraying bits of his breakfast onto Law

"I'm absolutely serious Luffy-ya," Law replied, cleaning himself with a napkin

"B-but that's sucide!"

"I don't commit suicide so just trust me and go along okay?" Law reassured, sensing that their blonde friend was returning, he quickly hushed his mate.

"Oi Luffy, the old geezer is letting me have a break so start talking, I haven't got all day." Sanji huffed, sitting himself opposite of the teen.

"Erm….well…." Luffy stuttered, he looked at Law nervously, silently pleading the other to help him

"Luffy -ya was with me last night," Law put in, causing Sanji's black eyes to snap up to meet his grey ones.

"He was with you? In the fucking forest?" Sanji hissed, just barely suppressing the yell that was threatening to erupt from his throat, "I thought you were away camping?"

"I was, "Law replied, leaning back onto the cushioned seat of the diner, "But I never said where, my family lives in North Blue so we camped in the forest."

"Are you serious, or did Luffy persuade you to cover for him?" Sanji asked, his eyes narrowed in suspicion, he had known the cheeky monkey long enough to know what kind of tricks he was capable of pulling.

"Nope, he was truly with me, I swear."

"The how do you explain the bandages you came back with?" the blonde demanded, "I'm pretty sure you didn't just rip your sleeves on the branches."

Luffy was starting to get really nervous, he felt bad letting Law do all the explaining, but at the same time, he didn't dared to say anything, Sanji's interrogation skills were on par with Ace, which means one look from those eyes and the truth will come flying out of his mouth. Saying something might only make things worse.

"You sent guys sent him into a dangerous forest on Halloween, he was attack, by a leopard no less." Law replied, narrowing his eyes at the gapping blonde. Sanji was positively speechless for several minutes, his mind trying to process what Law had just told him, when he finally did speak, it was laced with shock and disbelief.

"A leopard? A fucking leopard attacked Luffy while he was in the forest?"

Law nodded calmly while sipping his latte, Luffy was staring Law in shock.

Is he really going to tell Sanji everything? How can he be so calm, drinking his coffee like that while I'm going to- Wait drinking coffee? Can he even taste it? I thought vampires only drink blood….. Wait this isn't the time to think of such things!

"What's a fucking leopard doing in North Blue?" Sanji growled, confusion marred his handsome face, as far as he was concerned, East Blue's forests didn't have any dangerous beasts, aside from the herbivorous kind.

"North Blue is nothing like East Blue," Law replied, as if he knew Sanji's inner thoughts, "North Blue has the not only the biggest forest but also it's the only forest which has free roaming wild carnivores, a few wolves and leopards I think."

"And how do you know so much about the diversity there?" Sanji asked, turning his suspicious glare on Law, the dark haired male seemed to know more about area than a normal civilian would.

"Doflamingo practically owns the whole forest or something," Law replied, unfazed by the human's deadly glare, "He bought the whole area and keeps tabs on what's going on inside, animals, plants, and so on"

Well at least that's what I've been told, I am dead sure that that bird brain doesn't lift a finger to do his job, all he does is sign papers or something.

"Woah! Flamingo-ossan owns the whole forest?" Luffy gasped,

"Flamingo-ossan?" Sanji's raised an eyebrow at the name, he knew from Nami that Law's family was bloody rich (Who knows where she got the information from), but owning a whole forest that was just bloody flaunting "Ok, ok….. Start from the top please, this is too confusing to take in…"

"Yesterday I was attacked by the leopard-"Luffy started, trying to speed up and the conversation ASAP.

"He was running through the forest screaming at the top his lungs before he was attacked," Law cut in, "My family heard all the racket so we followed his voice and managed to shoot the damn beast before it managed to cause any real damage."

"Shoot it? We didn't hear a damn thing!" Sanji snapped, "Damn it Law, you're just protecting his ass aren't you?"

"We used a silencer, noise level must be reduced you know, you prevent disturbing the environment any more than we should." Law replied calmly, waving a tanned hand at the blonde's comment "And no, I'm not covering Luffy-ya's ass, I'm just telling the truth."

Sanji stared at Law while Luffy shoved a forkful of pancake into his mouth to mask his gapping mouth as part of the eating process. The blonde looked ready to snap, a vein was throbbing on his forehead, threatening to rupture any second, and the usual pale complexion was flushed in irritation and frustration. Law smirked internally at the human, Sanji could come up with any other situations and he could just throw another possible idea at the blonde to without revealing what really had yesterday night. Sanji couldn't shake of the nagging suspicion he had about Law's story no matter how much the story seemed true, the expressionless face Law gave while calmly sipping his drink gave nothing away. Cook released a sigh, closing his eyes as though he was thinking about the talk they just had, missing the small smirk that appeared on Law's face.

"I still can't believe that a leopard attacked Luffy," Sanji huffed, "I mean the overgrown cat has gotta to be blind if it thinks this scrawny monkey is going to fill his stomach." Poking Luffy's lanky arms in emphasis of his point, ignoring the muffled protest from the said teen.

"Luffy-ya isn't underweight or anything, he's just naturally skinny."

"Well that-" Sanji paused in mid-sentence, his bright coal eyes looking at the Luffy's arms, his brows furrowed in confusion, "Erm….. Law? Didn't your family bandage him or something? What happen to them?"

"Yesterday's we used bandages as we didn't have band aid with us and they are only for covering minor cuts, the blood was from the leopard," Law replied smoothly, "Actually, the bandaged also served another purpose….. To scare you."

"Wh-Wha- Urgh…You know what forget it." Sanji groaned, "Let's just leave it at your family saved Luffy…"

"Oi little eggplant! Your break is over! Get back to work!" Zeff shouted from the kitchen.

"Shut up ya old geezer!" the blonde retorted, before getting up, "Thanks for telling me that ridiculous story, and remember to pay!"

As Luffy watched his friend walk away from the table, he let out a sigh of relieve, slumping on the table.

"Mann…That has got to be the most stressful breakfast I've ever had," the teen moaned, "I kept worry about Sanji finding out."

"No need to worry about it Luffy-ya," Law chuckled, "Even if we did tell him the truth he wouldn't believe us anyway. We aren't called myths for no reason you know?"

Luffy just grinned and finished the rest of his breakfast in record speed, leaving Law to ponder the amount of food he actually consumes for lunch and dinner and the cost of the food bills he would have incurred by the end of the month. Law ended up paying over a hundred dollars for Luffy's breakfast (not that he mind as long as his mate was happy) and walking him all the way home until his doorstep. The moment Luffy opened the door ad stepped past the threshold; he was tackled by another body. Law instinctively growled but didn't move, it took all his will power not to attack the other male for attacking his mate, even though Law knew he was only worried for his brother

"Luffy! You're alright!" the freckled face teen gasped in relief, giving Luffy another tight hug.

"Hmpph….hah….. Of course I'm fine what are you talking about?" Luffy gasped, once he had managed to escape from his brother's suffocating embrace.

"You didn't come home last night!" Ace shouted, "I was worried sick and Shanks was just going to call the cops!"

Right on cue, a red-haired man walked into view and gave Law and Luffy a look that demanded an explanation for the previous night.

"You better have a good explanation for last night Luffy, or I'm going to tell gramps." Ace hissed, turning his eyes on Law, he continued, "And who the heck are you? You look kind of familiar."

"Trafalgar Law," Law supplied, "And Luffy-ya has an extremely good reason for last night, he was with me. He was with me."

"With you? What do you mean by that?" Shanks asked, "Why don't you come in first, the autumn air is cold, we can talk inside."

Law dipped his head in silent thanks before following Luffy into the warm house, as they settled in the living room, with Luffy seated beside Law and the other two in front of them; Shanks looked at Luffy, slightly puzzled.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Nope, we just ate at Baratie."

"Oh no Luffy… How much did you spend again?" Ace groaned, face palming.

"Over a hundred dollars on the breakfast menu alone-" Law replied, however he got cut off by two horrified yells

"WHAT?! OVER A HUNDRED?" Ace and Shanks yelled simultaneously, the two males had to cover their ears at the racket, Luffy was sure that Chopper who lived in the Grandline could hear them. "Oh my god, it's going to take forever to return that amount of money to Zeff."

"I paid for it already." Law replied, silencing the two ranting male

"Why would you do that? And where on earth do you get so much money from?" Ace demanded

"Money is not a problem, Doflamingo has plenty to spare, and I did it because Luffy-ya's my friend,"

"Doflamingo? As in Donquixote Doflamingo? You're his son?" Shanks asked, his voiced laced with disbelieve, even when Law nodded (As much as he hated it).

"Who?"Ace questioned, "Is he that mega business tycoon that you work with?"

Shanks nodded feebly, starring at the dark haired teen in front of him, it was hard to believe that this nice boy (upon first impression) was Doflamingo's son, it seems so unreal. Doflamingo was most eccentric person the red-head has ever met, completely opposite of the cool and collected Law.

"Back to the question earlier, do you still want me to give you an answer?" Law asked he wanted to avoid the topic called Doflamingo as far as possible; he hated talking about the stupid bird.

So for the next hour, he ended up explaining everything he had said to Sanji earlier adding that Luffy spent the night in his house but of course not in his bed, which was a real pain, but it was better than talking about the pink bastard. Shanks and Ace kept interrupting him, when they turned question to Luffy, they found him sleeping in upright position. Ace sighed in exasperation while Law just chuckled lightly at the sight, it was cute.

"Let me help you get him to bed, then I need to leave." Law said,

Moving towards the sleeping teen, he allowed the nodding head to rest against his chest before scooping the teen up effortlessly and rising to his feet, the other two humans followed suit.

"Where is his room?" Law asked, even though he already knew

"Upstairs, last one, "Shanks replied

Nodding his head in thanks, Law moved upstairs and into Luffy's room, placing the teen on his bed, he gave the teen a soft kiss on his forehead before covering the lean frame with a blanket. He then emptied his pocket of Luffy's valuables on the table, looking at his mate's snoozing form, heat filled his usually cold form, shaking his head to get rid of the unfamiliar feeling, he quickly exited the room. Bidding the red head and the older D goodbye, he made a beeline for the forested area of East Blue. As soon as his shoes touched the soft green of the forest, he made a mad dash for the mansion, ignoring the increasingly uncomfortable feeling in his throat and body.

Reaching his destination, he was glad to find the living room mostly empty, aside from Killer and Bonney, everyone else was missing. Making his way to his haven, he buried himself under the layers of blanket, savoring Luffy's sweet scent that still lingered, allowing his mind to be consumed by the darkness.


When Law awoke, he knew something was not right, with himself and with the surroundings. Everything in his room was bathed in an eerie red light that streamed from the glass windows. His body was hot, burning hot like he was running a deadly fever; his throat was parched and dry. Staggering from the bed, he made his way to the window only to be greeted by a shocking sight; the moon was a deep red instead of pale silver. The moment he laid eyes on it, his whole body was wracked in pain, gasping he clutched his chest , the pain was unbearable, Law collapsed where he was standing , his breaths coming out in short gasped, it was like he was suffocating.

Through the haze of pain, Law wanted to call for help but he knew no one would be able to hear him; so instead, he struggled to lift his hands up and activated his powers, switching himself with the vase he knew sat in the hallway. The moment he appeared in the hallway, he heard a voice shouting his name, vaguely registering it was Killer.

"K-Killer," Law rasped, the burning sensation was just getting worse

"Law!" the blonde came running over to him trying to support him as he pulled the raven to his feet, "Doflamingo what's wrong with him?"

Doflamingo who was grinning earlier had his smile wiped of his face the moment he saw the condition Law was in.

"Oh shit….." he murmured, moving towards Law, taking the gasping vampire from Killer, "Killer, get Luffy here now."

"Luffy?"

"Yes NOW!" Doflamingo growled, " He's being affected by the Blood moon, if he doesn't drink from his mate he's going to go feral and end up dead by sunrise."


OMG!OMG! Now what?
