I let out a low groan as I slowly came to and frowned slightly upon not scenting Law's scent around me. My mind went over what happened last night and I sighed deeply. Oh yeah I pissed Law off enough to not want me near him last night. Mentally shaking my head, I glanced around myself. Maki was currently acting as my pillow whereas Kuro was using my legs as his. With a roll of my eyes, I got up and yawned softly as I left their room to go to mine. I had just finished changing into my regular clothes when Maki walked in carrying supplies. Rolling my eyes at him, I asked, "Ever heard of knocking?"

"It's you. I don't need to knock," He smiled at me, "Let's get those bandages changed,"

"Joy," I took off my shirt and Maki went to work.

It was silent between us for awhile before Maki asked, "Still sticking to that horrible plan?"

I sighed softly at the question, "Do I have any other choice?"

"Nope," Maki shook his head, "Maybe it's just a crush or something," I snorted softly causing Maki to laugh sheepishly, "Right not exactly helping,"

"I'll just deal with it," I closed my eyes, "You know that none of us expected to live like this or join a crew like this. I'll take what I can get,"

Maki sighed as he already knew I wouldn't budge, "You know we'll always have your back."

I nodded as my stomach growled, "Finish up and we'll go get breakfast."

Maki snickered and complied.

Law walked into the galley in a slightly bad mood. He had grown to enjoy waking up to Ariun's slightly cool body pressed up against his and her scent being the first thing he smelt in the morning. It made him all the more determined to get Ariun back into his bed and never let her leave again. He found Ariun sitting in her usual seat next to Maki and Penguin. Shachi and Bepo looked at him as he walked up behind her after grabbing his breakfast. Ariun didn't seem to notice as she laughed at whatever the penguin hatted man had said. She shook her head and replied, "You really thought that?"

"Well yeah," Penguin blushed slightly.

"Well it's not like that at all," Ariun giggled as Maki and Kuro snorted, "They're my brothers nothing more, nothing less,"

Law spoke before Penguin could reply, "And what exactly are you talking about Ariun-ya?"

Ariun turned her head to look at him with wide eyes making him wonder if she hadn't heard him approach. The question she asked confirmed his thoughts, "When the hell did you get here?"

"A few moments ago," He replied with a smirk as his bad mood diminished, "You didn't answer my question,"

Ariun stared at him for a few seconds before answering, "Penguin thought I was sleeping with Maki and Kuro because he saw me leave their room this morning."

"Ari-chan!" Penguin blushed while Law chuckled, "You-"

"Did you want me to lie to our captain Pen?" Ariun asked teasingly.

Law enjoyed the mischievousness that swirled in her eyes as she looked over Penguin and realized Ariun was playing some kind of game. Penguin paled and shook his head rapidly, "No!" He turned to Law, "Captain I didn-I-Forgive me!"

Law chuckled as he decided to play along with Ariun's little game, "Penguin-ya one would think you haven't been fully truthful to me."

"WHAT?! I-no I have-I jus-" Penguin stuttered.

Ariun looked like the cat that got the canary, "Oh? Do I hear a little admittance in that stammer Pen? Have you lied to our captain before?"

Law knew she was saying it teasingly, but he realized that he hated hearing her call him that. It just didn't sound right coming from her. Law allowed Ariun to tease Penguin a little more as he took his seat. After a few minutes, Law cut off Penguin, "Penguin-ya Ariun was just teasing."

Penguin stilled before actually pouting at Ariun, "Ari-chan that was mean!"

Ariun shrugged her shoulders with a smirk, "Don't let your imagination get away with you then."

Law shook his head at how childish his crew was and focused on his breakfast.

I followed Law out of the galley at his request feeling slightly nervous. I wondered if he was still angry with me about last night. If he was, I would apologize since it was quite clear that he was stressed and I shouldn't have argued with him even if it had led to many revelations last night. My cheeks warmed at the thought of what I had realized last night and I still couldn't believe that I had fallen for Law of all people. I shook myself and decided to focus on where Law was taking me. He led the way into the infirmary and waved a hand to one of the exam tables, "Sit down. I want to check over your injury."

I did as he asked without protesting and took off my shirt. Law made his way over as I said, "Maki replaced the bandages before we headed up to breakfast."

Law nodded with a slight smirk, "I can tell. Maki-ya doesn't really know how to bandage chests does he?"

"Nope," I rolled my eyes, "The man's a prodigy, but when it comes to bandaging people's chests, he fails,"

Law undid the bandages and looked over my chest after removing the gauze Maki used, "Even prodigies fail at something. How are you feeling?"

He was lightly prodding at the skin around my slowly shrinking injury with a gloved hand, "It doesn't hurt that much anymore. It's like a bug bite or something."

"Good that means most of the damage is gone and I was correct in my assessment that tomorrow will be the last session you need," Law once again opened up a jar of some kind and put some kind of salve over my injury, "You actually listened to my order last night,"

Offering him a sheepish smile, I ran a hand through my hair, "I shouldn't have argued with you. You were stressed out and I just made it worse, so I thought it would be best to just listen to you. I'm really sorry about that."

"Why did you want to stargaze last night?" He asked as he replaced the gauze on my chest.

I hesitated for a moment before admitting, "I needed to think and being outside helped me do that."

"Think?" He offered me a raised eyebrow as he began rebandaging my chest.

I wouldn't tell him about my feelings. He would only laugh at me or something. Instead, I murmured, "Life is very diffrent now that we're off the island. It seems like only just yesterday I was waking up in my crappy apartment after dragging Kuro home from the bar. The sheer fact that I actually have a chance to go up against him is hard to wrap my mind around."

Law was slightly surprised that Ariun wasn't going to tell him about her feelings. It was something he thought women did anytime they realized they loved someone; Then again, Ariun wasn't just any woman. He wondered what it would take to get her to tell him her feelings. It would take awhile, but he was sure it would happen eventually. With that in mind, he nodded at Ariun's well crafted lie though he wondered if that's one of the reasons she stargazed as often as possible, "I do not fault you for that and I will admit that I am a little stressed out."

Ariun snorted and offered him a look that said she didn't believe him, "A little? Law you're really stressed. You aren't the kind of man to explode like that. You have to be under a lot of stress for that to happen."

True as that was, Law found himself jumping on the chance to tease her, "You're watching me Ariun-ya?"

Ariun blushed slightly and defended herself, "You're too interesting a person to not watch."

"Do you watch me often?" He had finished redoing her bandages and took of his gloves before setting his hands on either side of her hips, "If so, I'm flattered,"

Ariun was quick to retort with, "I'm watching you to find your weaknesses. Once I do that, I'll win our little game."

Law chuckled and watched as she shuddered lightly, "Ariun-ya it's funny that you still believe that you'll win our little game," He leaned forward as he moved his hands from beside her hips to cup her ass and pulled her towards him as she squeaked, "I'm going to win. I already have you in my bed. I just need to get you to moan my name as I make you cum."

Ariun's hands were on his chest as if to push him away, but he ignored them as he leaned down to kiss her. She turned her head at the last moment and he found himself kissing her cheek. Smirking, he licked one of her whisker-scars and felt her shudder against him. He dragged his tongue across the sensitive scar before licking her lips lightly. He pressed his lips against hers though he was surprised to feel her tongue glide over the seam between his lips. In his surprise, he opened his mouth and found her engaging his tongue into a dance. He found himself growing hard at the fact she had taken the reigns of the kiss and pulled her closer to him. She pulled away much too quickly for his liking and smirked up at him, "You may have me in your bed, but I will be winning our game."

He was about to retort when a knock sounded on the door. He reluctantly moved away from Ariun as the door opened and Kuro stuck his head in, "Captain. We need you in the training room."

"I'll be right there," Kuro nodded and left.

Law turned back to Ariun and found her standing behind him while buttoning up the last buttons of her coal colored shirt much to his surprise. She finished as he asked, "How did you do that so quickly?"

"Practice," She walked towards the door, "I suggest hurrying. Kuro doesn't really know how to control his strength,"

"Where are you going?" He followed after her.

"To my room," She replied as they left the infirmary, "Where else would I go?"

"My room," He replied gaining a raised eyebrow from her, "I want you to go to my room,"

Ariun paused and looked at him in surprise, "Why?"

Law smirked at her as he walked over to his room and opened the door, "You're still healing and I remember saying that you will stay in my room for the duration of that time unless told otherwise. Now go."

"Damn," I muttered as I walked towards his room, "I thought you had forgotten about that,"

Law chuckled showing that he had heard and I walked passed him into the room. Before I could walk too far, I found myself pressed up against the wall beside the door with Law pressed up against me. He kissed me in a way that caused my entire body to heat up. When he pulled away, I gasped softly only to moan as Law's lips found my sweet spot. He nipped and sucked at it causing pleasure to run right down to my core. I arched against him and gasped at the feeling of him against him. He pulled away with one last kiss to my sweet spot and smirked at me, "I am going to win our little game," He ground himself against my core and I gasped softly, "And I'm going to enjoy myself making you come undone as I fuck you into the mattress," He moved away from me and walked over to his desk to grab his nodachi, "Make no mistake, I will be the winner."

He left without another word and closed the door behind him.
