Rinoa's sharp fingers were on each side of Luffy's head as she glared down at the boy. Luffy, however didn't seem that fazed in fact he looked curious, "Who are you?"
The black haired girl rolled her mauve eyes then retracted her fingers but she didn't move from her position, "You don't know who I am?" she asked him with an amused look in her eyes.
Luffy shook his head, "Nope,"
Rinoa rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Really?" she asked again
"Wait you do seem kinda familiar," Luffy said as he studied her face a little more, "And I remember those fingernails, I'm sure I've seen that before,"
"I'll tell you what. I'll give you till tomorrow to figure out who I am and if you do figure out who I am I'll join your crew and if you don't then I won't join your crew," Rinoa said standing up and dusting herself off.
Luffy stood up as well but with a frown on his face, "But wait, didn't you already say that you would be in my crew?"
"Sure I did, but that was before I knew who you were, and plus I changed my mind," Rinoa turned to leave, "Remember, you have till tomorrow. If you do remember, you'll know where to find me, if you don't then if you don't find me by noon I'll find you!" Rinoa smiled at them all, "Nice to meet you," she said waving the rest of the crew. Picking up her suit case that she had dropped, Rinoa walked away.
Rinoa's black boots thudded against the ground as she stepped/skipped her way back into the bright town. Suddenly even thing had become pretty and seemed more to have more life, which is why when Rinoa walked there was a bounce to it. As Rinoa looked around she noticed that it was getting dark but that didn't dampen her spirits.
She had found him. Finally! After how many years was it now? Nine or ten years? Something like that. But it didn't matter now; she had found her old best friend.
Rinoa looked around and realised that she didn't have anywhere to stay for the night, plus she was hungry.
As if waiting for the right moment her stomach growled. Giggling a little, Rinoa walked forward for a little while until she came to a pub that had rooms. And food.
After hiring out a room, Rinoa collapsed onto the stiff bed. As she stared at the peeling roof it soonbecame boring for Rinoa.
She rolled onto her back. I wonder if he will remember me? Rinoa thought as she placed her face in the pillow. If he doesn't I'll beat him up!
Rinoa's stomach growled again telling her that it was time to get something to eat then maybe time to sleep.
Rinoa's eyes shot open and she sat up in her bed. Where am I? Her mind screamed. Looking around widely, she relaxed as she saw her suit case next to her and her cloths lying around the room from when she had arrived back to her room and she was too tired to change into her nightdress. She was lying on her bed with only her underwear on. Great sight if one of the staff members had come into her room when she had been asleep.
Well at least they were cute. They were a matching pair with little bows on each side of the undies and one in the middle of her bra.
Rinoa stood up and looked at the clock on the wall and realised that it eleven! One more hour before she had to go looking for Luffy if he didn't remember. Grabbing cloths from the suit case she ran into the bathroom.
Coming out of the bathroom showered and dressed, Rinoa shoved her hair back into a really low ponytail and tied it with a piece of white ribbon. She wore a long sleeved red shirt and a black mini skirt and thigh high boots.
Pushing her sleeves up, Rinoa dropped to her knees next to her suit case before shoving her cloths lying around into the suit case as fast as possible. No time for food this morning. She thought as she clicked the buckles of the suitcase and stood up with it in her hand.
Sprinting down stairs, she paid the man at the bar before walking outside into the warm sunshine.
Grasping the suitcase handle in both hands at the front of her, Rinoa walked towards the park. Or what she thought would be the park but as it turned out it wasn't. In fact it was the market. Of course, she didn't have any sense of direction. Turning around she saw an old woman.
Rinoa asked the old woman who was going shopping just for food, or it seemed like that as that's all she had in her basket.
"Oh yes, just keep going straight, and once you get to the second street, turn left then go straight again. Keep going and it should be there,"
"Thank you," Rinoa said smiling
"Aren't you hot in that shirt?" The old woman asked looking at her
"No not really, not with the cool breeze," Rinoa said before walking away from the old woman.
Taking the directions that the woman had given her, Rinoa made it to the park. If Luffy doesn't come I'll be so pissed off. Rinoa thought as she looked at the huge flowers.
It was the same one someone had given her a long time ago. Lost in thought, Rinoa didn't hear the footsteps coming towards her.
Someone touched her shoulder making her jump. Rinoa spun around to see a certain boy in a straw hat.
"You're joining my crew!" He grinned his trade grin.
