Chapter 3 – Nami's Sick

While Nami was busy taking care of the patients, she also flipped through the cookbook.

'Sheesh! Sanji, some things inside here are just plain INdible! ' Nami yelled.

'Sorry, my love!' Sanji replied.

While Nami was busy taking care of Chopper, Luffy and Zoro were 'arguing.'

'Why in the world does Nami have to get mad?' Zoro mumbled to himself, but Luffy herd it.

'So? We all know Nami's temper, not like Robin's soooo new now.' Luffy fought back.

'Right, but she doesn't have to get mad and command people like that, Robin was only trying to do a friendly suggestion or something… ' Zoro's voice trailed off.

'Nami has power!'

'You mean people that have power can command people?'

'NO! I meant in a good way… ARGH. NAMI HAS POWER!'

'POWER all right! Hahaha.'

'It is true! She's an important nakamee AND the navigator!'

'Okay, so tell me, when do you actually START defending Nami?'

'And when exactly do you start defending for Robin? ' Luffy shot back angrily.

Suddenly, Sanji burst in, 'Whoa, so unusual to see Luffy and the green hair fight.'

Immediately, Luffy and Zoro were ashamed. 'Sorry,' they both murmured.

Later on, while Sanji cooked, Nami had to feed Chopper, wash the fever of them, navigate, read the medication book… sometimes, even Luffy helped.

Gradually, Chopper became better, which was a huge relief to Nami. But Nami began to get sick…

Cough, cough

'Nami, are you okay?' Luffy questioned her.

'Yea… thanks' Nami's voice trailed off. Was that caring voice Luffy's, Nami could hardly believe her ears.

Hmm… is Nami sick? I should help her more often, right? She rarely gets mad now… Luffy thought, right, she's always nice when she gets sick…and she never stops smiling, then, she never cries… Luffy thought.

Nami walked slowly to the guys' cabin, her head was dizzy and it hurt. She clinged to the wall her head was throbbing terribly. I'll check on Chopper, she thought.

Luffy walked in, he saw Nami's red burning head. Sitting on the ground.

Nami saw Luffy coming in, but barely. Luffy, go away, she commanded him silently, but to her surprise, Luffy walked toward her, and her heart started thumping. One louder than the last one as Luffy walked closer and closer. Although she was sick, she tried to stand up and smile to him, telling him she was okay, but she didn't have the strength.

I know that face, the same look as if she's telling me she's sick. She's sick! What should I do?

'Nami! Are you okay?' Luffy asked her.

'Yea, I'm okay' Luffy answered, which she definitely was not.

'No, you're not okay, you've got a fever.' Luffy eyed her carefully, 'I'm your captain so don't lie to me.' Luffy carried her onto the bed.

'Chopper! Wake up!' Luffy punched Chopper, luckily, Chopper was just sleeping, since he was almost well, he immediately took care of Nami.

'Nami's sick al right. She need's rest, and until she gets better, there's nothing we can really do about it.' Chopper informed Luffy.

So, as it goes on, Chopper went to see her everyday, and her sickness. If Chopper wasn't inside, Sanji would go see her, but he was usually cooking every now and then… Robin would occasionally go see her, but not always. The person that could almost beat seeing her other than Chopper was Luffy.

Luffy went to see her, acting funny and wishing her well. They couldn't sail properly without their navigator, and he needed her very much.

Nami was almost well, but she could think pretty clearly. How nice, Luffy coming to see me everyday…

Flashback

'Luffy…help me' Nami sobbed as she said.

'Let's go, guys' Luffy said as he let Nami keep his straw hat.

End of flashback

How many times had Luffy helped me? With Arlong, and Buggy. Just then, she felt hot, but not from the fever. Would I like Luffy? She questioned herself. DO I?

When Luffy saw how red Nami's face, he began to worry.

'Nami, are you all right? Your face is red, VERY red.' Luffy told her.

'Yea… I'm all right' She answered.

'Want me to call Chopper?'

'No.'

'Should I leave?'

'No.'

'Should I call Sanji?'

'Nu-uh'

'Are you still mad at him? He cares about you, you know.'

'Yes, I know, but he thinks pretty with women, you know?'

'Sanji's just Sanji, no will do,' seeing Nami's depressed face, he gave her a goofy grin that made Nami smile.

'What's wrong?' Luffy asked

'Nothing…'

'Nami, I …I … I need to tell you something.' Luffy said as his face began turning red. 'I…I… I like…'

Just then, Sanji burst in. 'Nami-san! Food's ready! Can you come out now? Chopper says your fever-free.'

'Um, yea, sure…' Nami stepped down, and she stole a quick glance at Luffy.

'Give me a few minutes Sanji, I'll be there for the food.' Luffy grinned at Nami.

Whew! Another chapter finished… better get going or my mom's gonna be pissed :p For give me for the small mistakes!
