Chaos shifted as stitch-man poked her with the rounded end of his fork, looking at Killer he glanced back down at the girl with her head on her arms, hair free from its ponytail and running down her white tee, the length now reaching to her empty claymore belt. The galley was bursting with noise and she was still asleep.
And who could blame her? She and Kidd had gone rampaging around the ship for nearly an hour the night before. When Kidd finally got his goggles back his hair was already way to out of control and she had said something about sex hair.
XX
The galley door opened and said Captain walked in, the noise quietly down before laughter rang and the crew joked about last night. Kidd gave them a dry chuckle before walking to his seat, Killer was at this point attempting to prod Chaos awake, nothing. Finally the blond hit her in the back of the head with his arm guard, pretty damn harder than he might've meant.
Chaos's head shot up and rammed into Kidd who was just walking past. The red head grunted and she held her head, "owww" she whined setting it back on the table anime tears visible. Kidd regained his footing and glowered at Killer before sitting down.
Chaos kept her head down for a full three minutes before lifting it. Dark circles visible around here eyes. "That hurt Killer" she grunted rubbing the twice abused spot. Killer wasn't paying attention, "Chaos" he stated making her raise an eyebrow, "You haven't been sleeping well have you?" he questioned.
A scoff escaped her, and she let her eyes wander to ceiling, "actually I haven't really been sleeping" she announced. Kidd looked up and frowned the rest of the crew was listening now, "Why the hell not?" Killer asked folding his arms over his chest, she smiled coyly, and "eh…ahhh aint really been that sleepy but I slept some here" she pointed out. "For about ten minutes" he growled, she shrugged.
XX
The galley door burst open before anything else was said and the look out sprinted in holding the newspaper. "Captain!" he stated before jogging up and handing it to Kidd.
The paper was opened at the table which was rare and Kidd's eyes widened seeing the front page, Chaos was up in seconds away from Killer's invisible glare and hoped over standing behind him and leaned forward to read her cheek close to his her eyes read through the article. "You've gotta be shitting me" Kidd growled glaring at the paper.
"What is it boss" someone asked, Kidd kept reading though, Chaos put her left index finger to the paragraph and took a breath, not knowing Kidd's eyes were now studying her tribal designed covered arm.
"The Straw hat pirate crew has become the most wanted crew of the supernova for the destruction of Enies Lobby and declaring war on the world government, Their Captain Monkey D. Luffy is currently worth three million Beri…holy fucking shit" she whispered turning her head to lean back and look at Kidd, "That's fifteen million under yours Eustass-sama" she commented.
Kidd's eyes slid to her then back to paper. "These idiot Straw hat's have been in the paper a lot lately, their archeologists Nico Robin was accused of killing the mayor of Water Seven" he muttered opening the paper to finish the article, Chaos looked at the page across from it and gasped leaning closer her large chest setting on Kidd's arm to read it.
Kidd felt his blood burn and shrugged her off, she pouted at him and looked out the window, "….It's snowing" she stated slightly confused. The crew turned to the window. Sure enough large white flakes were drifting past them. "Good we've reached the new islands climate" Zombie stated. Chaos frowned not worried about the fact she didn't own an actual coat but the fact that she didn't know what the hell Enies lobby was.
XX
The page turned slowly and Chaos flinched briefly before sneezing, why of all the times she had to offer to take watch. She pulled her comforter closer and adjusted the lamp's flame to keep reading, she blinked a few times before shaking her head to rid it of all the snowflakes, a wave of dizziness fell over her and she gritted her teeth okay so she wasn't sleeping at all or eating much, looking down she saw the tribal designs crawling up her arms further. Soon they'd be like tattoo sleeves. She inhaled slowly and sonar rippled out around her, nothing except the island. She sighed good looking up she watched the moon rise. Next Island she really needed to buy a coat, or some long sleeved shirts.
She perked up instantly, maybe…Standing and walked to the edge of the crows nest then froze, her last sonar wave rippling back. How the hell? She thought whirling around as the ocean's surface broke and a large creature rose from the depths. Dark emerald scales glittered in the moonlight and dark demonic gray eyes glowered at her. She paled terribly as it opened its mouth rows on katana sharp fangs like ivory.
XX
Kidd grunted and lifted his head as the ship rocked dangerously; he grunted and rolled from his bed pulling his coat on.
His door opened and closed as he exited and trekked up the stairs, reaching the top he paused seeing Killer's silhouette. The massacre man looked over his shoulder and held up one finger were his mouth would've been. Then pointed forward Kidd stood beside him and his eyes widened.
A large demonic looking Neptunian sea king was leaning over the crows nest; Chaos stood in front of it her tribal symbol arm patting its snout. It smiled visibly and purred as she smiled widely eyes closed.
Kidd swallowed his face heating up as the sea king rose to its full height and Chaos waved lightly before it vanished into the ocean. "She, made friends with a Neptunian" Killer whispered disbelief in his voice.

A puff of ice crystals filled the air as Chaos looked at the snow island in her midriff leather jacket and arms folded tying not to shiver. The dark circles around her eyes much more visible, she could've passed off a friggen raccoon. It had taking three days to reach the isle and she hadn't slept the entire time, she ate but only because Killer threatened to hold her down and force feed her. She was not having that. Speaking of which she turned her head to look past Kidd and saw the brother like crewmember in a light jacket, apparently not affected at all by the cold.
The crew dropped anchor and they all left the deck. Chaos and Killer on either side of Kidd, Her claymore rubbed at her cold skin and when the crew asked she'd say she was fine. Though they could tell she was being stubborn only from lack of sleep and she was freezing.

"Chaos, are you sure you're alright?" The bat-man crewmember asked, she fixed a cold glare back at him, "yes" she muttered. Kidd looked down at her, her silver eyes were hazy the purple almost not seeable and the dark circles around her eyes, worried him; but not as much as the fact her lips were nearly a light shade of blue.
He turned to face the front as they entered the village and frowned by the amount of people walking around. Killer and Chaos both tensed up horribly though Chaos was slightly less visible.
Chaos frowned lowering her head to focus on the snow, she placed one shaking hand on her claymore, A slight crunch to her left made her stiffen as they walked. The feet were heavy and, the metallic ring of a blade sounded in her ears and the footsteps grew closer. "EUSTASS KIDD," Someone shouted.
XX
Kidd whirled to his left to see a man with a katana charge at them, by the looks he was a bounty hunter. The katana swung down and his hand shot out realizing Chaos was on his left in front of the man. The sword hit something with a loud clang.
Looking down Kidd saw Chaos claymore out and held defensively with one hand. The bounty hunter glowered at her. "Outta the way girl, don't defend this monster!" he shouted, Chaos just stared at him he roared raising the blade and swung to catch Kidd the katana was blocked once more, The black claymore moving in a flash.
"I said move GIRL!" he roared, Chaos frowned her eyes becoming deadly, "I. Can't" she growled, the bounty hunter snarled "This man has no devil fruit to do that to you so move girl or I have to kill a bystander!" Chaos bared her long canines, "I said I can't, because he's my Captain" she snarled the bounty hunter glared at her then scoffed, "Right kitten just move already!" the raven and purple pinstriped head was lowered and Kidd could feel the killing intent flowing off of Chaos,
Lack of sleep not only made her stubborn but she seemed to get pissed really fast. It was shown when the claymore snapped away from the katana and came down on his exposed side. Warm liquid flecked Kidd's face and splashed onto Chaos, The snow became pink and the body fell. With a quick flick the blade was wiped clean on the bounty hunters coat and shoved back in its case.
The crew stared at her as she lifted her head, blood on her cheeks and hair. Kidd gritted his teeth, and a shadow crossed his eyes. Reaching out he snatched her by the back of the coat and dragged her off leaving orders for Killer.

"Oi…look at me woman" Chaos lifted her face and a rough warm cloth rubbed at her skin, She lowered her eyes seeing Kidd's frown. The wet rag ran under her eyes and lowered, Kidd set it on the counter and placed his coated hand on the counter lifting her head up to look her in the eyes, "What the hell is going on in that head of your Chaos" he asked quietly.
She shrugged unresponsive and Kidd lowered his head, setting it on her jacketed shoulder. "That's not a response Chaos, five days ago you were just fine," his other hand set itself on the counter. Lifting his head he saw her looking at him, "sorry, Eustass I guess I'm just feeling well" she said softly with a soft smile, in the light he saw it properly now, her face was flushed and pale. And the red wasn't from him scrubbing her face with the rag. His hand, her body had been really warm. Kidd bolted upright and pushed his hand past her purple streaked bangs and settled his palm on her forehead fuck… he thought about to move his hand but Chaos clapped her hand over his and kept it there.
"Come on" he muttered pulling her off the counter and walked into the store. The clerk behind the desk looked up the sour look still on her face, Kidd yanked a scarf and black furry coat off a shelf and walked to the front door forcing Chaos to stand and pull them on, "HEY YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE!" the clerk shouted, with a quick glare she fell silent, Ushering Chaos out of the front door his devil fruit power slammed the door shut, the glass panel cracking.

The bar door opened and the crew looked up to see Kidd, with Chaos on his back her face hidden by her hair yet the visible skin of her cheeks were an unhealthy shade of red, Setting her in a booth Kidd order his Doctor to check her out.
"It's a fever…possibly from her quick changes from worlds or the climate got to her" he stated, "she needs bed rest, and lots of it" the man stated. The crew's face pulled into many odd expressions. Kidd sighed and hefted her up holding her bridal style, "I'm taking her back to the ship" he muttered turning to walk off, the crew rose behind him and followed. Turning Kidd frowned, "We aint leaving her like this" one of her drinking buddies stated, "just stay here you idiots" he spat and left the bar.
XX
Chaos cracked her eyes open as the wooden footsteps sounded and she was taken below deck, A door opened then closed, both hands never letting her go; and she was set on a bed, her warm furry coat and half clean leather jacket removed along with the scarf. "Lay down" the rough voice told her; she nodded numbly falling onto her side. A thick blanket pulled over her, the scent of rum and sea air engulfed her and someone ruffled her hair.
"Get some rest Chaos, I don't need you getting too sick on me okay?" a mouth pressed to her forehead briefly then the door opened and closed but not with out the voice ordering her to sleep.
Her eyes fully closed and darkness engulf her
XX
The large black object shifted with eight different colored eyes looking at her, sakura petals surrounded the air and a katana flashed, pain ripped through her body staining the white sundress crimson
She screamed and it vanished, a large hand settled on her head, "Eva-sweetie just do your best, I'll be back in a few months"
"Oh dear another year…your father works himself to the soul"
"You ripped me of my pride, now I'm going to take yours"
Dark shadows crawled through the air and something gripped her throat ice surrounding her and squeezed, she screamed loudly
XX
Chaos bolted upright screaming the bed shifted and she thrashed as someone grabbed her shoulders, "Dammit CALM DOWN" Kidd's voice shouted and she halted abruptly and looked around face flushed with fever and eyes wide. Kidd stared at her kneeling on the bed. She stared at him her breathing heavy. "Calm down okay" he whispered. She swallowed eyes still wide, "Lay down" he pushed her gently onto her back and she blinked, as he laid down next to her on his stomach bare arm over her abdomen like she'd jump off the bed and run.
"you still have a fever, go back to sleep" muffled in the pillow she still heard it as he tugged the heavy comforters over the both of then, "it was a bad dream Chaos…just go to sleep, please" he mulled looking at her his hair was in every direction without his goggles and he didn't have his usual black lips. Chaos shifted and rolled over body still shaking from the nightmare and buried her feverish face in his bare chest her body quivering.
Kidd sighed setting his head back on the pillow, the fever was still high and hadn't broke yet; the sips doctor had said she'd probably start having hallucinations, but he didn't think they'd be this bad.
