That morning Usopp took off to do I don't know what while I spent the time trying to figure out just how I was going to apologise to Luffy. I've never gotten into fights like this before with Luffy. I never said that I hated him before, so I was at a loss of apologizing. After a while of stewing in Usopp's house I decided to get some fresh air to help clear my head. Not wanting to draw much attention I made myself invisible to everyone as I flew around the village.

While flying around I came across a huge mansion that one would normally find a bunch of ghost Pokemon like Haunters, Gastlys, and more. I didn't think I would find any here in this world though. Flying by the house I spotted an open window where I could hear sobbing. Concerned I flew closer to the window to figure out where the crying was originating. Through the window I found a room that looked to belong to a female.

Laying on the bed was a sobbing girl in her teens with blonde hair and brown eyes. The crying had been coming from her sobbing about her parents. She had yet to notice I was even there even though I was floating over her bed. I felt bad for the girl, something bad must have happened to her parents. 'Are you okay?'

The blondette gasped jumping up to stare at me wide eyed. "What!?" she squeaked. I lowered myself trying my best not to scare her even more. 'I heard you crying and I was worried.' What fear I saw in her eyes changed into one of surprise and recognition.

"I know you! I heard about you from Usopp's stories." she sniffled as she wiped her eyes. I notice the faint smile spreading across her face at the mention of the long nosed teen. 'You know Usopp?' She nodded, "I've known him for a long time. He'd tell me stories to make me feel better." Kaya as I later found out gushed a little while longer about Usopp before the discussion came back to the main reason for us meeting.

'So Kaya, about your crying earlier...' I trailed off after seeing her face drop. She played with a strand of her hair looking anywhere but me. I could tell this wasn't a subject she wanted to talk about. Talking about what made her so upset just brought her back to that depressing mood. Though I could take a few guesses as to why she was so sad.

'Did something happen to your parents?' Kaya remained silent nodding her head, biting her quivering lip. Tears had begun to brim in her eyes making me feel a little bad for bringing it up. That was until Kaya began to open up to me about her parents. "There was an accident..." she began trying to keep from crying.

She went on to tell me how they died in said accident which left her in a state of unhappiness. Ever since her parents had died in the accident she has been "ill" as she put it. In reality I could tell she was struggling with something deep down. Nothing physical was the cause of her illness. I fully believe that the cause of her illness was something connected to her loss.

'You miss them.' To this Kaya nodded brushing away a stray tear. I placed a tail on her hand making her look back up at me. 'Just remember that they'll always be with you in here.' I placed the other part of my tail on her heart.

"W-what do you mean?" she asked. 'The ones we love will always be in our hearts and memories so there never really gone.' My explanation brought a smile back to her face even though she was still crying. "You right Nyx. Why didn't I see it?" she giggled through her tears. 'We all really know that's the truth. But it doesn't make losing them any less painful.'

Contrary to what some people want to believe Pokemon die too. When a good friend of mine hoothoot died I could barely get out of my tree trunk. I felt like I was sick too, but Mew told me that what I was feeling was grief. A type of pain that feels just like being sick and she had told me the same thing I told Kaya. Knowing this I felt a little bit better about everything concerning my loss.

After Kaya had calmed down she looked a lot better then from when I first arrived. "Thank you Nyx, I feel a bit better now." she thanked petting my head. 'At least I could help you. I'm still at a loss for how to solve my problem.' Now that I handled her problem I remembered just why I had been flying around in the first place. "What do you mean?" she asked.

I opened up to her about the fight and the horrible thing I had said to Luffy. 'I feel horrible for saying something like that. I don't know how to apologize to him.' Kaya hummed placing a finger to her lip in thought. "Saying something like that hurts a lot. Maybe you could explain to him why you felt the way you felt." she suggested. How I felt?

The way he made me feel at that moment while I was arguing with Nami. It felt like he didn't want to side with me. Usually he always agreed with me on things, but when it came to Nami. He decided that she was going to be the navigator of the crew even though she vehemently denied joining. I guess I was worried that Nami would end up hurting Luffy and taking advantage of his trust.

"Nyx….Nyx...NYX!" I flinched coming out of my thoughts. 'Sorry I was just thinking.' She gave me a curious look, "About what?" Before I could answer her we were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Miss Kaya, is everything alright? I heard yelling."

Kaya gasped whispering to me, "That's Klahadore! You need to go before he comes in." She didn't have to explain anything more than that. I flew out the window just as the door to her room was opening. After I left Kaya's home I returned back to Usopp's house to find him fiddling with his slingshot. "Oh your back!" he greeted me.

'I am~' I replied, taking a seat on the table. "You seem to be in good spirits." Usopp pointed out. "Nyx Nyx Nyx!" I laughed. 'I guess I am! I know how to apologize to my brother now.' Usopp smiled, "That's great!"

The two of us then ate dinner a little after that and tucked in for the night. Well Usopp at least slept. I had been anxious about what would be brought the next morning. I eventually accepted that I wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon I went outside and sat on the roof. From Usopp's house I had a clear line of vision to the ocean.

A part of me wondered if Luffy was sleeping at this very moment.

*Elsewhere*

While Zoro and Nami slept one person was still awake staring off into the distance. Anytime Luffy would find his eyes closing he shook it away refusing to let sleep take him. 'Nyx' he thought to himself.
