Chapter 7: The Great Escape Of A Swordsman.

"Where is he?" Caridi sighed, exasperated.

Luffy shrugged. "How am I supposed to know? You're the one that led him there." Caridi sighed heavily. This could take a while…

They finally arrived where the doctor lived. Swinging open the door, the waltzed in, Caridi's swords clanking at her side and Luffy humming a random tune that even the girl herself didn't recognize.

"Hey, Tidius! Some people are he-!" the red-head stopped in mid-sentence. She quirked an eyebrow. "Who are you?" she asked.

Luffy stepped forward. "My name is Monkey D. Luffy and this is my crewmate, Caridi." Caridi nodded her head. The girl's eyebrow rose higher.

"Are you looking for someone?" she questioned, looking them over carefully. She must not have seen me walk in with Zoro. Caridi thought, smiling to herself.

The doctor walked into the room, stopping short as his eyes laid to rest on Caridi. Sweat dripped from his forehead. "Oh, he-he, you're back so soon…" he giggled nervously. Caridi shot him a look. "Where's Zoro." she stated bluntly. She wanted to get out of this place ASAP, if you know what I mean. Rabid people that were attacking her bo- friends and could make themselves come apart were no friends of hers.

Tidius pulled on his collar, averting both of the pirate's gazes. "Well… he's, umm, not here." he choked out, still not looking at them. Luffy jumped at the chance to talk. "Whadya mean?" he asked, stepping forward to look him in the eyes.

The red-head stepped up, seeing Tidius buckle under the pressure. "He means that the man took his swords and ran. Apparently he's too busy to be bothered with worrying about his injuries." she announced. Caridi's eyes widened as she thought of how bad he was just a while ago. What would happen if those wounds reopened in the middle of this place's fields?

She turned on her heel, sprinting out of the door faster than humanly possible it seemed. "I guess I should help her." Luffy grinned, scratching his head lazily. Tidius spoke up, an even voice present instead of the uneasy tone only a few moments ago. "Nami, you should go with them. That young man may be hurt even more now."

Nami opened her mouth to protest, but the doctor would hear nothing of it as he strolled from the room. Nami fumed. "Why that no good…" she mumbled, but her voice then went to quiet for Luffy to understand. Luffy blinked.

"So, your name's Nami, right?" he said, trying to strike up a conversation as they waltzed down the road. Nami was still mad, and refused to talk. Luffy looked around, yawning loudly. "Sure is a beautiful day!" he cheered, looking over. Her face was still as plastic as ever.

Luffy frowned, thinking hard. What could he do to make her smile? "What's wrong?" he questioned, hoping to find out her problem. She stayed silent for a moment, then said quietly, "I don't like pirates, first of all. And you are one. Second, you made me lose my treasure." With that being said, she stalked off, leaving the captain to ponder what she'd meant.

Okay! Next time you'll find out what happend to Caridi! Please keep up the reviews! I really appretiate them! I don't even care if the only word you say is 'Update'! Luv you alL! R&R!
