A/N: I'm so happy you people actually like this :D Thanks so much for the reviews everybody!!

This is a short chapter, 'cause well.. I'm currently sick, so haven't got that much energy to write, sorry 'bout that, but still I hope you enjoy reading it

And I'm working on next chapter already, but don't know when it'll be done, since it's probably a long one..

I lay for a long time and just listened to my own breathing. My eyes were closed until I heard somebody move near me. Somebody yawned loudly and I felt my duvet get ripped of me. Surprised I looked down on the floor, were a straw hat were visible under the sheet, which were wrapped around a thin body. A nearly silent snoring-sound was coming from inside the sheet and I couldn't help it but smile. Then I sat up feeling my heart pound fast as if I had been running. My mouth were all dried out and I decided to get something to drink, but as I leapt of the bed and hit the floor I felt my body shiver, even though I knew I still had a fever. "You're going somewhere?"

Surprised I looked up to meet the brown eyes of the swordsman. He was sitting with his back against the wall by the door and observing my moves as I walked across the room with shaking footsteps. "Yeah," I answered while leaning against my cupboard as I reached it, "I'm going downstairs to get something to drink, it's not like I'm dying anyway, so might as well get up, right?"

I tried to smile, but got interrupted because of a sneeze. "Sure you're not dying, but you're still sick, you know," Zoro answered getting up.

He strayed across the room to wake up his captain with a quick kick in the ribs. "Wha'?"

Luffy opened his eyes trying to get up, but he was too entangled in my sheet to be able to move. "You need help?" the swordsman asked smiling a bit, but the captain shook his head shortly while trying to rip of the fabric.

"I can handle!" he decided, not getting anywhere though.

Meanwhile I had gotten dressed and was halfway out of the door as Zoro turned towards me again. "You sure you can stand?" he asked without really sounding concerned.

I stopped and leaned against the door frame. "Yeah, I'll manage getting down to the kitchen."

"Sanji's probably down there," Zoro noticed and I nodded and got out of the room.

While walking down the stairs I could hear Luffy cursing my sheet, but even though I wanted to laugh about it, I couldn't because my throat was to soar. Instead I started coughing loudly and had to stop at the end of the stairs, sitting down to prevent myself from falling. "You okay?" it came from the kitchen, and I looked up to find the blonde cook standing in the doorway with a cigarette in his mouth and arms crossed over his chest.

"Perfectly okay," I just answered getting up again and straying past him into the kitchen.

When I got to the cupboard with glasses I stood up on my toes to reach, but as my fingers finally locked around a glass I began coughing again and lost my balance. The glass slipped out of my hand and before I could react it hit the kitchen table. Or at least I thought it did, but when I looked up again I saw that Sanji had grabbed it and were now putting it down on the table. "You should've gotten a chair, since you can't reach," he pointed out.

I didn't answer, but walked over to the fridge and opened it. "Why so silent, little lady?" he asked.

"I'm just tired."

"You sleep more than that crappy swordsman and you're still tired?"

"Well, I'm more tired of being tired," I answered and shrugged my shoulders, "Tired of being sick all the time."

"That reminds me, how long have you been sick? You sound like it's been a long time."

"It has been. I don't remember how long. I can't keep up with the days, since I don't only sleep at night," I told, "But I think it's been some weeks."

"Poor girl. You must be totally exhausted doing nothing for so long."

"It's not like I had anything to do before anyway," I replied with a shrug of my shoulders.

"What about your friends? Have we scared them away, since nobody's been past to say hello?" the cook asked and inhaled some smoke from his cigarette.

"Don't have any," I answered distantly, while sipping to the juice I'd poured into the glass.

"How come?"

"Don't know, guess I'm just weird," I answered in a toneless voice.

"Well, I wouldn't say you're weird."

"Then what am I, since I've got no friends in a town this big?"

Sanji shrugged his shoulders as a reply, and I put my empty glass down on the kitchen table. "You're mature," he then said.

"Lonely kids tend to be more mature than other kids," I said as if I was reading it out loud.

With a wry smile Sanji put out his cigarette and threw the fag end into the garbage bin at his side. "If we get to stay, you know you've got Luffy as a friend," he pointed out.

"Yeah."

I smiled a bit and then walked out the kitchen door, stopping for a second before closing it behind me, "If you get to stay."

Then I climbed the staircase to my room and found that Luffy and Zoro was gone. "Hopefully they get to stay," I mumbled by myself while sitting down on my bed.

I wasn't tired, but I didn't know what to do or where to go, so I just sat on my bed with my back against the wall and starred at the window. The clouds outside were dark, so I knew it would begin raining at some time later on
