Disclaimer: OP doesn't belong to me. ....How many times do I have to type this??? --;;

Thanks to everyone who've reviewed me! Reviews feed my starving mind. Love you guys!! :D

"What are you doing?"

I look up. Standing in the darkest gorge of your shadow, I turn my shaky feet around.

Another sudden surge of chilling fever run through my body, but I dare not show it. Not here. Not in front of you.

"What's wrong, Nami?"

I bite my smile and turn away. You twirl your hat around carelessly.

I've been poisoned.

"I want to leave."

I say instead, feeling the toxin circulating around my vessels once more. Another heartbeat. How many more of my own will I have?

I could already feel it taking over my body. It had been, for a long time, slowly taking control of all my major body functions. At first I had brushed it off as a mere inconvenience – a nuisance that kept disturbing my line of thought, a nagging feeling that refused to go away.

But now, I can think of nothing else. Nothing else. It has taken over my whole existence, and is slowly gnawing in deeper and deeper.

I'm being eaten away. Consumed.

"I want to leave."

I say once more, determined not to lose. I would like to leave while I still have the will to want so. Before I become like the rest of this ship's crew. Before my last pride crumbles down. Before I have to admit my defeat.

Before you have your way, Luffy. As you always do.

"Alright."

But you smile, and my heart sinks. Just how many heart beats more?

"But don't forget, Nami."

Until I can't resist anymore. Until I can't think anymore.

"no matter where you run to..."

Until I can see nothing else but you, you, you.

"You're mine."

Sweet, sweet poison.
