Sleeping Buddy

He wanted to kill so many people at that time. Luffy because he kind of screwed up the plan, Zoro for letting Luffy, his Captain, screw it up, Luffy's crew because they couldn't control their own Captain, Hawkins for kidnapping his crew and using them against him, Kaido for imprisoning him in that cell, and the rest of his crew for not giving him five fucking minutes to himself.

Law wanted to have just a few minutes to talk to his crew and find out what's going on outside his prison. But, right now, he was stuck with Kaido. He was pissed off as he sat in his cell. It was a lot cozier now than it had been before.

It seemed that while he had been in the room with the sextuplets, someone from Kaido's crew or another prisoner of his had furnished the cell. There was now a bed that sat off the ground. It had silk sheets, a fluffy blanket, and soft, cushy pillows. That was where he was sitting at the time.

The day before, he had been with the six sisters. They were very nice and he got along well with them. After a while, Kaido came and got him. Law wanted to curse him out but wanted to keep his life at the same time. He got extremely annoyed when Kaido did the same thing that Luffy had done on Dressrosa. The guy just tossed him over his shoulder before walking back to his room.

After that, Law had stayed silent and wouldn't answer any questions he had for him. Kaido got angry and started to throw empty bottles and buckets around the room. He, on the other hand, just stayed on the bed, still not saying a word or acknowledging him. That seemed to piss him off even more that he wasn't getting a reaction out of him. After he roared once again, he stomped out, leaving Law all alone again. A minute later, a crew member came into the room to watch him.

Now, Kaido was sitting on his bed, once again, drinking. It was normal to him by now. Kaido would come in, sit on his bed, and start drinking. There were a few times where he would ask him things. Law answered if he wanted to.

Right now, they weren't talking to each other. Law was just trying to keep to himself. Kaido didn't seem like he was good at talking to people. That showed when he got angry and drunk at the same time. When he was drunk, he would either cry or throw a fit like a five-year-old. That wasn't expected when it first happened.

Glancing back at him, Law saw that he had stopped drinking. The man was crying again. He sighed, knowing he was going to hear it. He had been there for three days now. Law was getting used to this being his everyday life. It was depressing but annoying.

"Why do you hate me?" was asked aloud out of the blue. That wasn't what he had expected to hear. He expected him to whine and complain about not being able to die or kill himself. That was the normal thing, anyway.

Law didn't say anything. He couldn't figure out at the time if he was just talking to himself or him. Kaido was just vague sometimes and wouldn't really address him even though he would ask him questions. Law would just answer them.

"Why do you hate me, Law?" Now, he knew he was talking to him. The question was not something he really wanted to answer.

"Because you're a horrible person," he answered him. It was probably going to upset him even more but Kaido needed to know the truth. His actions were horrible, and his attitude made him hate him even more.

Kaido roared as he threw a bucket at the wall. It shattered on impact. Law flinched at it. It had been right next to the cell he was in. Splinters and metal flew in every which direction. "I want you to stop hating me!" he shouted at him. That worried Law immensely. "I'll kill everyone in the world if you don't stop hating me!"

Not knowing where this was coming from, Law just sat there, staring at the man as he cried and threw things across the room. Once again. It was shocking that he wanted something like that from him. Law couldn't figure out why he wanted him to stop hating him. It was not something he was keen on doing, either. For Law, grudges were a constant thing in his life. He held one against Doflamingo for thirteen years and he will hold it forever over him. he could hold one against Kaido for however long he wanted to for the deed he had done.

Not answering him, Kaido seemed to lose it. He roared loudly again before storming out of the room. Law knew what he was going to do. That was the worst part. He hadn't meant to make him angry. Law just didn't like him. That was the main problem.

Sighing, he went to try to take a nap. After a few minutes, Heat came into the room with food. Law turned over and eyed the platter warily. "I have some food for you," he announced. Law had told him about the time he was drugged when he fed him the day before. Heat apologized and told him he would make sure that nothing like that would ever happen again. Since the day before, it hadn't happened.

"What is it?" Law asked, getting up and going over to him.

"It's roast duck with vegetables and bread." Law cringed backward. "What? Is there something wrong?"

"I'll take everything else but the bread," he said. Heat looked surprised.

"You don't like bread?" He shook his head. "Alright. I now know not to make anything with bread in it." Law thanked him before the food was slid under and he picked it up. Heat said he would be back to collect the tray in a bit. Law thanked him before he walked out. Kaido didn't like for people to stick around him for too long. Law couldn't figure out why.

Law dug into his food. He hadn't eaten for hours and his stomach had started to try to digest itself. The duck was made perfectly and tasted delicious. But not as good as Sanji's cooking. The man's food was better than anyone else's he's ever tasted. Law wouldn't tell him that, though, but he would continue to think it.

After his meal, Law grabbed the snail from his shirt before dialing Shachi again. He hadn't talked to him since the first day he was there. That was two days ago. Kaido wouldn't let him have any time alone the day before so he couldn't call them.

It rang a few times before being picked up. "Hello?" Shachi answered. Law felt relieved to hear his voice.

"Shachi, how is everyone? Do they know what happened to me?" Shachi knew who he was meaning.

"As far as we can tell, they don't. Luffy and Kid are still in prison but seem to be making a lot of trouble there." Law scoffed. That was no surprise to him. Especially for Luffy. "Miss Nami and Miss Robin are getting suspicious about where you are. They keep asking us and questioning us if you're still around."

"That's no surprise to me. They are the smartest ones of the crew," Law said with a sigh. "I'm worried they'll find out soon enough. This is just great." He was aggravated now. His silk kimono was getting on his nerves now. Law wanted men's clothes. Not women's.

"How are you holding up? You sound pissed off."

"I'm doing fine, I guess." He got ready to tell him what happened the day before. "I was drugged yesterday before being left in the care of six sisters."

Shachi was quiet for a moment. Then, "WHAT?!" was screamed into the device. Law quickly shushed him in case someone was listening in on him. "What the hell? Why would they drug you? I mean, they have cuffs, right? Why not use them instead?"

"They are. I think it was so I don't know where they took me or how I got there. Even though I was taken from that room, I couldn't tell what direction it was from where I am now nor what it looks like outside of here." Law fisted his empty hand. "Kaido is starting to get on my nerves."

"I believe you." Shachi sounded worried. "A few people keep going missing from Okobore Town. Kaido's men take people from there before disappearing with them." Law realized who he was going off to kill. That bastard! How can he do that to those people?!

"I have suspicions on where they keep going," he said to him.

"Really? Where?"

"They're being slaughtered." Shachi and two others gasped at hearing that. He knew that they were the other two of his crew. "Kaido keeps leaving to go kill people when he's angry. I believe he's killing those people." That made him even more disgusted with him.

"That's not good, Captain," Penguin spoke up. He sounded pissed off and upset. "Has he hurt you other than drugging you?"

"No. I have come close to it, but not enough to harm me." They sounded relieved to hear that he hadn't been harmed. Yet.

They talked for a bit longer before his vision started to go in and out. Bepo seemed to realize something was up with how he was talking to them. "Is something wrong, Law?" he asked. "You don't sound like you're all there."

"I think... I think I was... drugged... again," he informed them. That was something he remembered from the first time. "I chalk it up to... Hawkins... again."

"We'll let you go for now," Shachi said. "We don't want anyone to figure out you're talking to us. If you pass out with the snail showing, they'll probably figure it out."

"I... I know..." His body started to slouch on the bed. "I'll talk to you... later..." They all said their goodbyes before he hung up. Law replaced the snail in his kimono so nobody would figure it out. Slowly, his vision faded away and he lost consciousness.

...

Movement woke him up. Law groaned as he regained consciousness. It felt like he was on a bed, but it wasn't the one they gave him. It was way larger than his and had a lot more room on it. That wasn't always a good sign to him.

Struggling, he tried to force his eyes open. When he was able to do that, he was confused. The ceiling looked exactly like Kaido's bedroom ceiling. Then, it hit him. He knew exactly where he was.

Shooting up, he found that his worst fears were true. He was in the middle of Kaido's bed. But the guy was nowhere to be seen. The clinking and weight on his wrists let him know that the cuffs were back on him. Now, he wanted to see if he could get away.

Slowly, he started to crawl his way to the edge of it. He was sluggish from the drugs. That gleam of hope was shattered when Kaido burst into the room. "What the hell is their problem?!" he screamed. "I tell them to do one, simple thing! They can't even keep the prisoners under control! I'm gonna kill them all!"

Law had frozen in place when he burst in. He was halfway to the edge of the bed. Kaido was huffing as he stormed over to the other side of the bed. He plopped down and it made him jump in the air from the force.

"Where do you think you're going?" he growled at him. Suddenly, he was dragged back to the middle of the bed. "You're gonna stay there for now."

Not saying anything, Law just did as he said. With the man right there, he had little to no chance to get away now. Not even if he was quieter than a mouse. Law had to hold back a deep, frustrated sigh as he sat in the middle of the bed. Kaido just went on to drinking. It really made him question the man. As a doctor, Law didn't like for people to drink as much as Kaido did.

After a bit, Kaido started crying again. It almost made him roll his eyes. Then, he began to wonder. Why am I outside the cell? Is there a reason I'm right here? Do I need to be wary of why I'm on his bed? Is he going to hurt me this time?

Then, he was grabbed up out of the blue. Kaido was still crying as he held him. "You really hate me, don't you?" he asked in a small voice. Law was shocked at how broken he sounded. It wasn't like the man. When he didn't answer at first, he could see Kaido get a little angry. "Answer me. You hate me, right?"

"Yes," he answered truthfully. Law hated him with a passion for what he was doing to people. Now, he knew he was killing people so he wouldn't harm him. Law would rather have the man take his anger out on him than on people that were innocent.

Instead of the Yonko hurting him, he cried even more. Law just dangled from the cuffs that Kaido was holding. He was waiting for the man to do something. Anything. But, for now, he just cried as the sea stone bit into his wrists. He could already smell a little bit of blood from them.

A minute later, Kaido brought him closer before grabbing him around the chest with his other hand. He didn't squeeze him nor put any pressure. It was as if he was just holding him there. Law didn't know if he was okay with that or not.

Kaido continued to cry as he brought Law closer. "I'll make you stop hating me," he said in a serious tone. "Even if I have to break you to make you stop, I will make you stop hating me." That threat made Law even more terrified of the guy. That was not something he wanted to hear. "But I won't break you like Straw Hat Luffy and Eustass Kid. I'll break you in a much different way. One that you won't be able to forget about."

Now, Law was sure that this wouldn't end well for him if he didn't find some way to get out of that place soon. Suddenly, Kaido laid down and brought him closer to him. Frozen in fear and shock, Law tried to figure out what he was going to do next.

"Get some sleep. You're going back to the sibling tomorrow. This time, you'll be able to walk around the place with them." After that, he heard snoring. Law guessed that the guy had fallen asleep. Right now, he wanted to escape but knew that if he woke him up trying to do that, he would, most likely, get hurt. That was something he wasn't willing to risk at this time. Not when he was getting a good opportunity the next day.

Slowly, he started to fall asleep. He guessed that the man wanted to sleep with him there. That was probably why he woke up in his bed. Law guessed that he was starting to feel safe with leaving him out of the cell, alone. That was a very positive sign for him. Kaido was starting to trust him to be left alone outside the prison cell. this was very good news. Closing his eyes, he smiled, knowing his freedom was probably just around the corner. Those thoughts gave him peaceful, dreamless sleep.

It fills me with happiness and confidence that people are enjoying the story. I thought it wouldn't interest anyone. But, please, keep reading if you really do like it. Please do let me know what you think of this chapter. Have a glorious day and I love you all. Tatty-bye!
