Heart of strings
Ch 5 - For the best.
He hadn't actually gone far on his walk, though it might have been a lie saying he just wanted to go for a walk. More or less he wanted to just sit somewhere and think for a minute in peace, maybe take a nap but that seemed a little dangerous considering the marines might still be in town. Though they made enough sound that even if he did take a nap he would wake up as soon as they showed up and dispose of them.
The rock Law had found was quite comfortable, and had a nice view as well. It made him feel a little calmer, but it still didn't help the ache he felt. He knew what it was about, hell it was the only thing he could think of for the past while.
Being as quiet as it was some whispers caught his attention, he couldn't tell who it was from the hush tone, but whoever it was they were certainly annoying him. Turning his head toward the direction he believed them to be coming from something else caught his eye. Something red that was rapidly approaching him. It took him a second to analyze the object when he realized what, or more like who it was.
Eustass Kid.
Well that just about ruined his day, not like he wasn't already having a terrible week it just would have been nice to have enjoyed some piece off of his ship. Why did he even think the week could have gotten better, he hadn't even left the god damn island yet. He should have already left this crappy island, but he just hasn't gotten to it.
He turned back toward the field hoping the moron wouldn't bother with him and would be on his way to where ever he was headed to.
"HEY ASSHOLE, THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING OUT THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, STRAING INTO SOME GOD DAMN FIELD LIKE A HIPPY!"
Law let out a sigh. 'Guess I'm not getting any peace and quiet today.' He mumbled not turning his attention toward Kid so to make the point that he was ignoring him obvious. Though considering it was Kid he was less likely to get angry then to walk away.
"I know you heard me now respond you asshole." Kid growled grabbing Laws shoulder, digging his nails into him.
"It is good to see you as well, and may I comment on your amazing use of language? Also if you could, would you please let go of my shoulder." Law mumbled still not looking toward Kids direction.
"God you can be such an asshole."
Law raised an eyebrow at the comment, not that kid would see it. "That's like the pot calling the kettle black."
"The hell is that supposed to mean?" Kid demanded.
"It's an idiom, you numbskull."
"I asked what it meant not what it fucking was, you smart ass!" Kid fumed.
Law sighed "It means that you are just as much as what you have accused me of being."
Kid was tempted to punch him now but he held back so he could accomplish what he had been thinking of for the past while. Kid took a few deep breaths before speaking again.
"Alright I just want to ask why are you doing this to me?"
Law finally turned his head toward Kids with an inquisitive look on his face.
"What am I doing to you? Isn't that an odd question to ask me since you were the one who caused this moment to happen."
"That the best fucking reply you got? Because no you are the one who caused this mess, and I want to know why."
"How did I cause this mess exactly? Because I denied you of the privilege of screwing my brains out as you so kindly put it the one time. Is it because I don't reply to your insane behaviours at times? Because to me it just seems as if I am doing what any normal person would do." Law yelled out getting angrier and angrier at Kid.
"No that is not what I mean." Kid sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. "There is something else."
Law narrowed his eyes and stood up angrily. "What are you getting at? You come here fucking yelling at me about how much of an asshole I am for not letting you have your way even if the request is so god dam ridiculous! Then you suddenly think that there must be something else causing my cold behaviour, well maybe there is but like hell I would tell you so why don't you just fuck off and find some bitch to fuck!" Law was breathing heavily. His eyes were blurring with unshed tears as he stared Kid down placing his nodachi between them, unsheathing it slightly.
Kid wasn't sure what to do, hell he hadn't been expecting Law to go off the deep end. He guessed he might have deserved some of that but he was not going to stand up for it and if he needed to use physically violence then he would.
Kid quickly snatched Laws wrist in his hand and turned him around so Laws back was to his chest, causing law to drop his sword. Then bringing his other arm up to grab Laws loose hand and brought it across his chest.
"I have no idea what is causing you to suddenly go bat shit crazy but if you don't stop I swear to whatever you fucking believe in that you will be in some sort of pain when I am done with you." Kid growled in Laws ear as he tightened his hold on the wrist he had pinned between him and Law.
Law's brain went into panic mode and began to struggle against Kids grasp attempting to free himself. "Let me go! Fucking let me go! Get your grubby hands off of me you fucking asshole!" Law screamed afraid for himself.
"Stop flipping out Law, I haven't done anything, now shut the fuck up or I will make you." Kid angrily said digging his nails into Laws wrists.
(((o_o)))
Laws crew members watched as the argument between Law and Kid quickly escalated to where Kid was using force on their captain. Looking toward one another without using words they decided they had to intervene before it got worse.
Jumping out of the bush they surprised both of the men. Penguin ran toward the Law as Shachi and Cavery went to detach Kid from their captain. Shachi grabbed the arm sandwiched between the two captain's, Cavery releasing the other arm and Penguin went there to catch Law as he was released from Kids grasp.
"Sorry captain, we didn't want to get involved but we heard you yelling and saw the brute hurting you, so we .." Penguin was cut off as Law pushed him away.
"Could you not get involved for once? It is annoying and fucking humiliating to have you came and do this. Now fuck off." Law growled picking up his sword and turning back to Kid.
His head was pointed so that the cap of the hat he had on blocked Kids view of his eyes, but he knew Law was glaring at him, which made him take a step back in slight precaution.
"I swear if you try anything like that again I will be ever so pleased to dice you into little pieces and drop you off in a bag to your crew and tell them to have fun putting you back together again. "Laws voice was dripping with anger and every other word was dragged out making the threat more menacing.
"You are being fucking ballistic right now Law. How in hell did someone who seemed so level headed take a trip on the crazy train?" Kid asked raising a hand ready to defend himself in case the doctor decided to attack.
"What does it matter to you huh? Tell me I'm crazy, I don't care not like I don't know that I haven't. Why don't they lock me up and throw away the key because I will never be sane again, especially when I have to talk to such an idiot who believes that he is better than others, than proceeds to make others feel like they are inferior. It makes me mad, no it makes me infuriated to the point where I am considering the fact that I may have gone mad. Makes me look back and examine everything that would have led to this happen, then wonder why me? Was it because they saw something in me? Something different from all the other kids, or did they just want a toy to fuck around with?" Law was panting heavily and his pupils were dilated slightly.
Shachi wanted to calm down his captain and take him back to the ship but he knew that would most likely not be happening. The three continued to watch in fear as Law continued to yell at Kid.
"My whole childhood was demolished. I never got to know simply things like joy, sure I would be rewarded if I was good but there was no joy in that only more pain. I ask you what exactly in pathetic childhood would make you into that asshole that stands here now? Did someone bully you as a child, well to god damn bad I don't think you would have lasted a day with the way I had to live!"
A well-aimed fist made its way into Laws face sending him to the ground.
"Don't you dare fucking talk like you know anything!" Kid yelled clenching his teeth in anger. "Don't you dare say anything like that ever!"
Law whipped at his mouth whipping away some blood revealing a crooked grin. His pupils were small in a sea of white.
"Did I strike a nerve? Excuse me for not being sorry about that, but I could care less how insulted you feel." Law laughed.
Kid stormed over to Law grabbing Law by the front of his sweeter, raising him off the ground to face Kid eye to eye. The heart pirate trio watched in terror, not being able to do anything in fear of being in the receiving line of Kids aggression.
"You are fucking insane you know that?" Kid spit, his eyes never leaving Laws. "Spouting crap like that gets you killed."
Law released a small chuckle attempting to turn his head slightly away from Kids, only to have a hand grasp his face to turn it back to face forward.
"Don't you dare look away!"
"Che it appears if I hit quite the nerve." Law laughed having found entertainment out of Kids anger.
"This is funny to you isn't it? God you are just the worst aren't you? Asking for me to do this, it's almost sickening."
"Oh yes Eustass-ya beat me up, it turns me on so much when you do! Come hit me, I fucking love it when you do." Law moaned out jokingly seeing how far he could get before Kid really did hit his boiling point.
Instead Kid just tossed him back to the ground and stormed off leaving them without a word.
Law laughed as he got back up almost toppling over only to catch himself before he did. Dusting off any dirt that would be on him Law turned to walk the opposite direction Kid had gone.
"Seems as if we won't be having any more fun with mister Eustass-ya." Law chuckled grabbing his sword where he had dropped it. He didn't spare any glances toward his crew mates as he headed off, then stopping when he realized they were not following him. "Are you coming, or shall I leave you here because we are leaving shore now so it's you get to the ship now or I leave you here."
The three scrambled running back to the ship leaving Law to walk at his own pace. They would have the ship ready to leave so that they would not risk being yelled at by their captain.
Law let out a small laugh as he fixed his hat, letting a small smile place itself on his face. "It wasn't all for nothing Kid." He said knowing that no one else would hear him.
(((o_o)))
Kid stormed back onto the ship, his footsteps echoed throughout the ship, than the sound of a door being loudly slammed shut.
The crew cringed at the sound and continued whatever they were they had been doing as if nothing had occurred, except for Killer who let out a sigh and headed toward Kids personal room.
Smashing could be heard from outside of the door, and Killer knew that the meeting had not gone well. He knew that night have happened but he was willing to think positively for the sake of Kids happiness.
Killer opened the door to find items strewn across the floor, a mirror broken into pieces along with pieces of glass thrown into the mix. Metal was protruding from the walls from and what he assumed to be part of a chair.
He could hear water running and he carefully made his way to the bathroom that was connected to the room. Kid was splashing water onto his face, a frown very evident on his face as Killer stepped closer avoiding the shrapnel on the floor.
"May I ask how it went?"
Kid turned toward Killer as if he hadn't known the other was standing there. Kid whipped his face off with a towel before storming back into his room, to stand in front of Killer slightly towering over the shorter man.
"I'll tell you how it fucking went. It went fucking terrible. The idiot had the fucking balls to insult me and thought that he could just make a joke of my past. I fucking hit him and then he starts acting like a masochist asking me to hit him more so I left. Also some of his stupid crew mates were there as well. Fucking asshole probably enjoyed trying to belittle me."
Killer shook his head. "I didn't think that would be one of the outcomes of it. Seems as if I misjudged him."
Kid laughed "Misjudged him? You fucking think! He was acting like a mental case, fucking going on about crazy shit."
Killer tilted his head slightly. "What exactly did he go on about?" he asked as he watched a blanket be tossed off the bed and Kid sit himself down on the bed.
"Something about a shitty childhood, being rewarded but not actually, no joy. I don't know he just kept going on like a mad man." Kid pushed a hand through his hair trying to calm down and not destroy what was left of his room.
"Hmm I see, well I will leave so you can calm down some more. Just try to forget for a bit alright, I can bring some alcohol if you think that will help." Killer said cautiously making his way to the door.
Kid just shook his head. "No I'm going to rest for a bit. Tell the crew I want to set off though I've had enough of this island."
"As you wish captain." Killer said quietly closing the door behind him, then off to tell the crew to prepare to set off by the end of the day.
Making Law flip and go crazy out and then Kid gets mad. Well I feel satisfied with the abomination of a chapter I have made. Have I mentioned it's like 5 am now, ha who needs sleep!
Anyway thanks to the people who read this and those people who review, you all know who you are ….. I really need to sleep.
