Chapter 34: Goodbye France.

"You feeling better?"

Seto looked up to Alex, the Russian having suddenly started walking next to him. His blue hoodie off and tied around his waist; revealing the white t-shirt underneath.

The brunette gave another gentle smile. "Yeah. I needed the sleep and the food here is good."

"I meant emotionally," Alex spoke.

Seto blinked and looked to the group. Martin having pulled off his black overcoat and tying it to his waist, rolling up his white sleeves and revelling his bandaged arms. Faith having pulled off her yellow sweater to reveal the green t-shirt Alex had bought. Nepeta had also removed her trenchcoat but pulled some scissors out of her pocket and cut her jeans to shorts level.

The fact she did this with one arm could only be called a miracle.

All were looking bright and happy even if the sun was roasting them alive.

"I feel…lighter," Seto remarked and stared ahead.

Alex could only raise an eyebrow. "Please use English."

In return Seto gave made a grumbling noise but another smile broke out over his face. "I always use to feel heavy. Everything felt to tiresome and too much. It was like I was carrying this heavy weight around. Everything…was painful."

Alex nodded. "So that weight is gone now?"

The purple-eyes shorty eyes brightened up, "yeah!…I haven't felt so emotional and stuff. I haven't truly smiled, I feel better."

The mechanic smirked and gently knocked his fist against the sides of Setos head. The bookworm also fell but got his balance and gently tried to push push Alex back (tried as meaning it was a tap).

"How about yourself?" the brunette responded.

"OK, Artyom was able to get my sis out of jail. She's trying to settle in Scotland and my other brother is work-"

"I meant how are you feeling?" Seto repeated.

Alex gave a loud snort, enough to Make Nepeta turn but the mechanic shrugged.

"I feel peaceful. Honestly I'm a grumpy lil shit, most things sucked and being negative made everything less surprising. Now I feel grumpy yet more peaceful and pleasant with everything. That makes sense right?" Alex uttering the questioned and flash of worry on his face.

"Well if you feel better…sorry I can't understand." Finished Seto but Alex smiled, instead he just patted Setos back.

"I feel better."

"Is that singing?"

The small group stopped, Nepeta having pointed it looked in front of them. At first it was some sort of soft singing but quickly becoming louder with each step.

"It's sounds a-paw-ling." Nepeta whined loudly.

Then someone jumped over the same dusty hill and landed in front of them. His arms raised to the sun and his feet bent like a cross. He quickly began to spin until he faced the group.

"Good evening wa yo!" The man chirped.

"Who da the fuck are you peasant?!" Alex screeched and pointed, maybe it was the mans appearance or first impression but he felt pissed off.

"It's the afternoon anyway," Martin muttered, blankly in shock to whatever was in front of him.

"Excuse me, do you know where our friend Akura is?" Seto piped up.

"Yes we are looking for our blue-haired friend," Faith agreed.

"Your outfit…are you refurring to the swan ballerina?!" Nepeta gushed, a bright smile on her face and her hand covering her mouth.

"Yes lil lady for the swan is very representing of the Okama way‼!" Swan-man did another spin with Nepeta joining in.

"It's nice to know where are priorities lie, guys." Martin called out (still in sudden shock).

"Nepeta…umm this is no time for spinning we have to find Akura." Faith whimpered which stopped Nepeta spinning.

The black-haired girl stopped but began to look around, "p-p-purrmission to…p-pawses Captain."

"Permission granted!" Martin chirped, snapping out of his shock he slid over to the swan-guy.

"Seen a blue-haired woman, in her twenties, looks like she's been training since birth, blue hair, blue pearls and a white dress." The Bulgarian described and this time he stopped.

"Ahhhhhhhhh…she'll be coming wa yo," the man explained before leaping.

"She'll be coming? Can you explain?" Seto asked with the swan-man leaping to him.

"Ah she will here soon lil boy wa yo." The man chirped and petted Setos head. His hand was then slapped away.

"I'll cut off your fingers if you do that." Seto snapped, watching the swan-man leap back.

"Your demeanour changed quickly wa yo." He muttered.

"Seto stop threatening people!" Martin called out.

"Oh…sorry." Seto noted, looking rather upset he had said it.

"Bon hold up!"

Only a few feet away from them was in fact Akura. Sweating and looking pissed as usual, finally making it only a couple feet from the group. Opening her eyes, she froze to the sight and opened her mouth wide. No sound came until.

"Your alive!"

Nepeta quickly grasped onto her blue-friend, wrapping her legs around Akuras waist and using her free hand to hold onto her dress. The fighter made some violent spluttering noises and struggled to get her balance.

"Nepeta get off me! My dress is slipping!" screeched Akura who had a held on Nepeta as well.

"You're alive! You're alive! You're alive! You're alive!" Nepeta bubbled in return and was laughing her head off.

"Nepeta get off her!" Faith yelped, watching both.

Alex snickered loudly, Seto just watched the scene (showing the wide smile on his face) and Martin quickly stepped into action. Peeling the cat-girl off and carrying her in his arms.

Nepeta just playfully smiled until it turned into a frown, "you feeling ok?"

Akura stared but instead a bright smile came on her face, "feeling much better thanks."

"Thanks?!" both the artist and chef exclaimed in union.

"What?" The fighter asked.

"You don't often smile. Why much better now?" Faith asked, coming in closer.

"I was taking a walk to clear my head!" Akura snapped.

"Well at least your feeling better." Seto huffed.

"Yes, Akura is feeling much happier now wa yo." Bon chirped happily.

"Yeah, I'm feeling ok." The blue-haired female spoke, waving her hand like it was nothing.

"Let's go back now." The Russian whined.

"Ugh…it started talking again…" Akura moaned and was promptly kicked in the face. A violent crack came from it and Akura grabbed his arm. Spun him around before slamming her leg into his face.

Alex quickly got back to his feet.

"Stop fighting!"

Both quickly did, following the Bulgarians order. Though Alex stuck out his tongue and Akura also raising the middle finger to him.

"Honestly you guys need to chill, let's go back to the hotel anyway." Martin huffed but brightly smiled all the same.

"We get to see Gavin again!" Nepeta yipped and jumped for joy.

"Umm…Akura how do you know this man?"

The blue-eyed fighter looked up, seeing Seto pointing to Bon. He was already spinning gleefully and looking rather…sparkly in some sort of terms.

A loud groan came out and she held her face in her hands, "long story."

Prium gave another tired sigh, each step he took made his bones ache painfully. It was true he needed to go to a hospital but already had too much on his plate again.

She wanted another report on her son and his 'dead' friends. He knew that a simple break or a report not turned in correctly would lead to her digging deeper. Another tired sigh before he turned down an alley way.

Gavin would be traveling to Hungary soon, the last stop before going back to Britian.

"I should reveal everything then to him. It would make it all easier." The dirty blond sighed.

Although this being his first assignment in ages, he found himself not liking it. She being too…too nice for her kind of person and even then her husband was also rather suspicious. Gavin looking like his son was even worse, especially who many times he mistook him for…his head hurt.

"Oi…"

Prium froze and quickly recalled that voice, his body gave a shiver. That was the same voice in Japan, the same man who stopped him. A rather painful gulp and he turned around.

That same green hair, three swords, tall figure, narrow eyes and broad stature.

"You're the one who stopped me in Japan." Prium gruffly hissed and glared.

"My gang has been traveling, in the same direction as Chopper. Our leader wanted to met up with them again. Though you seemed to have gotten in the way." The green-haired swordsman explained and pulled out one sword.

The hit-man tilted his head, nobody had not heard of the strawhat gang. A violent and powerful gang that had become famous for taking down strong figures of great interest. Prium remembered them being on the news and broadcasted around the world.

Even figures like Crocodile and the world government had asked him to stop them.

He refused all of them.

Prium knew that they were tougher than him; he would be beaten in an instant. It was just his luck that one of Gavins friend was a crew member taking a break. And now he had the second most powerful member of the group in front of him.

"You've caused quite the trouble for Chopper and his nakama." The man huffed and pulled out another sword.

Prium only watched, "I thought it would be none of your business. Though it seems I was wrong."

"Any friend of Choppers is a friend of Luffys. He has met them all before anyway, he found out about it and ordered me to find you. Can't refuse an order from the leader." The man grinned and then put another sword in his mouth.

"Why doesn't your captain deal with me by himself then?" Prium asked, he needed to keep his cool.

"Needed to find his brother, so he asked me to deal with you." Although a sword in his mouth he somehow spoke clearly.

"Interesting. Though I will commit to my goals, a green-haired swordsman is not going to stop me."

"Ronona Zoro, soon to be the world's greatest swordsman. Don't forget the name!"

The hit-man knew he was going to possible lose an eye.

"Good morning!" Both greeted to there friends happily.

"It's the fucking afternoon!"

The blondes smile brightened up and he threw himself off the bed. Chopper jumped off and quickly jumped to hug Akuras leg. The Brit quickly dragged himself towards his friend and held onto one of her ankles.

"You came back‼!" He looked ready to burst into tears yet with a happy grin on his face.

"Jesus Christ we only left for a day." Akura breathed and quickly shook the two off her leg and the others began to enter the rom.

"Your all back‼!" The Brit cheered and began to roll around rather happily.

"Of course you moron," Martin assured (grabbing his friend), "we weren't going to leave you."

The Bulgarian pulling Gavin back on the bed and sat next to him.

"Are you feeling alright?" Faith inquired and the blond nodded.

"He's got enough rest and just needs to keep his ankle under care. He should possible walk soon but not put any heavy weight on it." Chopper concluded with a rather stern expression.

"Alright doctor let's- Hey that's my DS!" Alex declared and jumped next to Gavin. He peered at the screen and narrowed his eyes.

"Level up your psyduck," the brunette snapped.

"I've been trying!" Whined the blond.

Nepeta inquired, "What's a psyduck? Is it meow-nificent?"

She threw herself between the guys, leading to yells and cries before finally snuggling next to Martin. The small group quickly began to yell advice to the blond.

"Honestly I get back and only this happens." Snorted the fighter.

"What? Were you expecting some fanfare or something." Seto grinned.

"Well…yeah this is much better than fanfare." Akura huffed and started pinching Setos cheek.

"Oh yeah! Chopper, Bon said hi and for you to say the same to Luffy." Akura spoke (still continually pinching Setos cheek and whining for her to stop).

"Bon…Bon clay!" Chopper yelped and began to dash around madly.

"We thought he was dead! How is he alive-wait how do you know Bon?" Chopper asked.

"Long story." The blue-eyed girl mumbled and quickly pinched Setos other cheek.

"Oh! I have to text Luffy about this!" Chopper chirped quickly pulling out his phone.

Akura sighed but also gave a smile. Watching the group having fun like this, was nice and refreshing. She had fun with them and she hoped she was fun too.

"I…like this." She whispered to herself.

"Akura…your hurting Seto." Faith pleaded.

Realising her actions, she let go and quickly petted the brunette head.

She was having fun.

The last chapter for the France arc. I need Zoro to come up because the strawhat crew will become important later. Bon for now is gone until maybe the last one and I tried to give Seto the best characterisation I could. He is a lot more happy and so is Alex. Although he still has some serve issues he trying his best to go through them.
