Chapter 5

Zolo swam after the boat as fast as he could.

'Dang' he thought angrily 'I should've gotten in a row boat!' he kept on swimming and his muscles were starting to tire. He breathed heavily as he started to gain slowly on the ship.

Zane looked angrily at Hikari as she told him that she loved Zolo.

"Fine!" he said angrily as he stood up. He walked over to the door. "Open up let me out and then get the Captain in here." He barked as he looked evilly at her. She jumped up, and tried to get out as they opened the door for him. They were to fast for her and they slammed it shut in her face. She fell to her knees and clung lightly to the door sobbing lightly. She went back over to Zane's bed and sat down and looked out at the sea again. Faintly on the horizon she saw a speck floating out at sea. She sighed and a few moments later Gama came in carrying clothes and a small bottle. He grinned evilly as he set the clothes down on the bed side table next to her and he sat down next to her.

"I brought you some new clothes to change into if you want." He said as she picked them up. The top was a black tube top with blue sequins that patterned out a blue rose. And she lifted up the pants which were also black with blue sequins that ran down the sides. She threw them on the floor.

"I'd never wear these!" she growled. Gama simply smiled and stood up. He over towered her she was helpless as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"Hikari… oh you don't know it but ever since that day when you first looked at me with those tearful eyes… I mean back when you were eight and I was twenty… at first I thought you were a bother but then you grew up and became a lovely woman and I think that you are indeed very beautiful. Ever since you were fifteen I have loved you." Hikari's eyes widened.

"Eww! You're like…" she paused as she looked at him. "THIRTY!" She said and she tried to push her self away from him, but his powerful arms only hugged her tighter. Then he reached over and grabbed the small vile from the table and he popped the top off and he forced the bottle into Hikari's mouth. She tried to spit it out but Gama held it steady in her mouth. She had no choice nut to swallow the vile tasting liquid. Once she did her past memories went blank. She forgot every thing about the straw hat crew and thought nothing except Gama.

"Now… you will love me like you loved Zolo. For that was none other than the potion of the lotus blossom and if you drink it all past memories will fade away!" Hikari's eyes went wide at the mention of Zolo's name but try as she might couldn't put a face with that name. He released her and walked over to the door and told her.

"Oh yes! You were putting that outfit on for me." He said as he told the outside guards he wanted out. Hikari had no choice but to obey. She changed and put over her shoulders the Captains cloak. She wobbled over to the unlocked door and heard shouts from the deck. She opened and shut the door and heard them shouting out "look there's some one in the water swimming after our ship!"
