Ok, there might be a bonus chapter, but not sure yet. If you want one, let me know. If not, then don't, I guess. This is the second to last chapter if there isn't a bonus chapter.

I clamor back down to the deck. I had maybe three hours left until I left, and I would like another game of tag before I left. That would be really awesome.

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper are by the mast, discussing a new game. Law is watching them critically. I drop by them off of the mast, wincing at the impact that jars my aching legs.

"What's up guys? Can I play?"

Luffy nods.

"Ok."

My eyes drift over to Law, and I realize something. I haven't spent time with him yet. Crap, what am I supposed to do? Usopp sighs.

"I guess you can join."

I smile in acceptance before turning to Law.

"Hey, are you playing too?"

Law shook his head silently. I fold my arms, raising my eyebrows.

"Oh, like you didn't play yesterday?"

Law averted his eyes, mumbling.

"I was tired of you running around and winning."

I nod, feeling the high competitive streak rising up in me.

"Ok, good, so you are playing then."

Law raised his eyebrows.

"No."

I grin at him. Making him play would be the perfect opportunity to get my revenge.

"Come on Law, embrace your inner Luffy-ness. You know you want to."

Law stared at me for a second. By now, the three idiots had joined in my recruitment tactics.

"Yeah, Traffy-guy, play with us."

Chopper nodded in agreement with Luffy's plea.

"Yeah Law, if you played yesterday, you can play today."

Law looked from player to player until he sighed.

"Fine."

My grin only got wider. Perfect, except for one little loose end I need to tie up.

"If you are playing, you have to promise not to use your devil fruit."

Law once again raised his eyebrows. I shrugged.

"I can't have you cheating like you did yesterday."

I give him a pointed glare. I am still mad at him for that. I get a bit competitive in games, tag especially. He nods in compliance but has a mischievous glint in his eye that matches my own.

"If I am getting handicapped, so are you, Rose-ya."

I try to put on an innocent look.

"Me?"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper leap to the same conclusion, pointing at me with sharp teeth.

"Yeah, you are too fast!"

I smile, gesturing to my aching legs.

"Well, then you will be happy to know that I am very sore today and cannot possibly run as fast as I did yesterday. Don't worry you can catch me today."

Law narrowed his eyes.

"How about we handicap you just a little bit more?"

He steps forward, his fingers bent. I didn't know what to expect but I was a little wary.

"Um, Law, what are you do—"

He suddenly steps forward, hand toward my chest.

"Mes."

I hear this popping noise and I choke slightly. Then, my heart is bouncing around on the deck.

My eyes widened and my hands trembled. I admit, in the anime it's a pretty cool power to take someone's heart out without killing them, but when it is your own heart that's being take out, it's downright freaky.

I panic as Law picks my heart up from the deck. My hand subconsciously comes up to the giant hole in my chest, like a little kid not being able to resist picking off a scab. Holy crap this felt too weird. I say softly.

"Careful Law, I only have one of those."

Law tosses it lightly, making it come back down in his hand. I feel it as it feels like my heart goes up my throat and back to it's place again. I gulp. I don't like this. I want my heart back.

Law glances at the rapidly beating heart in his hand and glances at me with raised eyebrows. He knows I'm scared. He calmly explains.

"This won't hurt you for the time being, but the blood flow will be halved, making you slower. It isn't painful."

I know that, I've seen this power, but that doesn't mean I am ok with someone literally holding my heart in the palm of their hand. I hold out my hand, my eyes narrowed.

"Law, give it back."

Law didn't move except to toss it once more in the air, making my stomach flip. By now, Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp had quieted and all three were about to step in and make Law return it. I was about to ask again when a stern, deep voice seemed to reverberate from everywhere.

"Law."

I look around. Zoro had just come down from the crow's nest and was standing at the base of the ladder. He was looking at Law with such intensity I thought the warlord would spontaneously combust. Zoro growled.

"Give it back."

Law straightened his hat, sighing.

"All right, Zoro-ya."

With a shove, my heart is back in its place in my chest, where it should stay. I sigh with relief as I pat my whole chest once again.

"Thank you."

I glanced at Zoro, giving him a grateful look. He just nodded, and moved to the kitchen. I rub my hands together eagerly, my former panic forgotten.

"All right, you guys ready?"

Luffy threw his fist in the air.

"Yeah!"

Usopp yelled.

"Let's go."

Chopper turned into his human point.

"I'm ready."

Law just nodded, his eyes trained on me. I raised my hand.

"All right, since Luffy got me yesterday."

I glare at Law again, before continuing.

"I will be it today. I will give you fifteen seconds to run."

Luffy and his two nakama of course took off screaming. Law nonchalantly moseyed off to the other side of the ship, keeping one grey eye on me.

As I counted to fifteen in my head, I had a brilliant idea. A wonderful, crazy, brilliant idea. I smile to myself at the thought.

Tag is always better with more people.

Ok, time to put the plan into action. I chase after Usopp who has run up to the upper deck. Nami is just walking out of the library. I grin. What a perfect opportunity this is. I herd Usopp toward the unsuspecting navigator. Him, looking behind at me, ran straight into Nami, tackling both of them.

Laughing I squat beside Usopp, who is rubbing his head.

"Tag, you're it. No tag backs."

Usopp sighed and ran off toward Chopper who was further down the deck. I helped Nami up, who is spewing insults and threats.

"You come back here Usopp or I will triple your debt.

"Want back at him?"

My eager question causes her to turn. Her eyes are aflame.

"Yes."

I pat her back, trying to calm her down.

"Why don't you play with us? If you play tag and get him back when you are it, the revenge is harmless but is revenge nevertheless."

Nami tapped her chin thoughtfully. As she was thinking, Luffy came running toward us. I call.

"Who is it Luffy?"

Luffy just grins.

"I am."

Thinking quickly, I point to Nami.

"Nami is playing."

Luffy immediately changed his course, heading toward the beautiful navigator. Nami held up her hands, backing away.

"Hold on Luffy, I'm not—"

Too late. Luffy tagged her on the arm, nearly throwing her into the cabin.

"Nami is it."

Nami chased after him angrily, trying to tag him back.

"You baka, you better come back here."

I chuckle. One down, five to go.

Zoro coming out of the kitchen catches my attention. Avoiding Nami who is now chasing Usopp, I bound down to the deck, grabbing the swordsman before he could retreat to the safety of the crow's nest.

"Hey Zoro, want to play tag with us?"

Zoro raised his eyebrows and didn't look amused.

"No."

I puffed out my bottom lip in the best puppy dog face I could muster, which was pretty bad considering it was the first time I had ever attempted it.

"Come on Zoro, consider it a last request."

Zoro looked on the brink of saying yes, so I added.

"If I get Sanji to play, you can beat him up as much as you want."

Zoro smirked, shaking his head as he tugged my ponytail playfully.

"You really know how to persuade a guy. Go get that nosebleed pathetic excuse for a cook."

I nod, smiling as I yell to the skies.

"Zoro's playing too."

I could hear the murmurs of surprise from the current players until I heard Luffy canon into his first mate, making him it. With a playful growl, Zoro went after the surgeon of death himself, chasing him with incredible speed across the ship.

I was just about to go get Sanji from the kitchen, but Brook blocked my way.

"Yohohohoho Rose-san, what's going on?"

I shrug, smiling up at the skeleton.

"Trying to get everybody into this game of tag. You in?"

Brook set down his violin.

"Of course, I have a bone to pick with them anyway."

With a wink at the pun, he went sprinting across the deck, laughing all the way. I sigh, perhaps I shouldn't have told them about puns. Oh well, damage is done now. I try again to get into the kitchen, but Robin, sticking her head out of the girl's dormitory, distracted me.

"Did I hear a ship wide game of tag is going on?"

I grin up at her.

"Yeah, can you play?"

Robin smiled gently at me.

"Sure."

She leapt out of the window, landing beside me.

"Any rules?"

I nodded.

"You can't use your devil fruit."

Robin nodded, smiling her Robin smile at me.

"All right."

I don't have to yell this time. Chopper shouted with glee.

"Robin's playing now."

Luffy gives me a grin and runs away from Brook's skeleton hand. I take that as my cue to get the two remaining crewmembers left. Finally I manage to get into the kitchen.

"Sanji."

The cook has a skillet in one hand and a spatula in the other.

"What is it Rose-swan? Marines?"

I laugh.

"No, a game of tag, and Zoro specifically requested you come play."

Sanji rolled his eyes.

"No way, I'm fixing dinner."

I cross my arms, smirking playfully.

"You can beat him up all you want."

Sanji didn't need any other prodding as he was out of the kitchen, yelling.

"Garden head Cyclops, you better come back here."

I laugh as I head to the top of stairs down to Franky's workshop.

"Oi Franky, come play."

He looked up at me.

"Sorry sis. I need to finish this."

I jerk my thumb toward the deck.

"Take a break, you need it."

He glances back into his workshop, before grinning.

"Fine, I'm coming."

I run back on deck to find that Robin is it. Her gentle hand touches my shoulder.

"You are it Rose."

I crack my knuckles, giving Law a smirk. Oh it is way past time to give him my revenge. Law notices the look and tries to run. Big mistake.

"No you don't Law."

I chase after him, the entire Straw-hat crew laughing and cheering us on. He would have gotten away except Luffy kind of accidently tripped him by stretching himself across the stairs. I leap up the stairs two at a time.

"Got you."

I reach for him, but his fingers twitch.

"Room."

With that, he disappeared. Frustrated, I yelled.

"Cheating again Law, that's just impolite."

My eyes darted back and forth, trying to find the infamous warlord. There, he was hiding behind some barrels, and all I could see was his hat. Shaking my head, I began to chase Nami, using her to get closer t him. When she darted toward the barrels I flew into them, surprising Law. He fell flat against the railing, his eyes wide with shock. Amateur.

My hands wrap around his arms as I sing.

"Tag."

Law reached for me, but I danced out of reach, wagging my finger at him.

"Uh-uh, no tag backs Law, you have to get someone else."

Law gave me an irritated look before Luffy quickly distracted him by swinging between us with his hand up in the rigging.

"Wohoo, Law is it."

Law leapt after him as I backed away. This was going to be epically fun.

The next two hours passed by quickly. The more tense Straw-hats like Nami and Franky relaxed and just had fun. We laughed, sang, and ran around the ship with ease. Some of the boys taunted each other, and more then once Zoro and Sanji dissolved into their usual fight. Robin turned out to be quite the tag master like myself, but I suppose running from the world government can do that to a person.

Law used Room on me several times, but he stopped after awhile because I was expecting it from yesterday. As soon as he roomed me, I just leapt backwards. My reaction time increased every time he did it, until he deemed it unusable on me. we turned into major rivals on the field.

I was caught many times but I didn't care. My legs ached and I didn't care. I ran around with the best of them, getting everyone equally when I was caught and helping people escape when I wasn't. It was the most fun I had ever had.

After two hours, the sun started to sink beneath the horizon. Sanji, after tagging Luffy, wiped off the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, it's time for dinner."

Luffy ignored that he was it and cheered.

"Yay, dinner."

Everyone, exhausted and starving, filed into the kitchen, talking and laughing. I alone stayed on deck, chewing my lip. My time was up. I was leaving in fifteen minutes.
