Ace waits patiently outside for kaede to be done with the girl. She had asked him to leave about an hour ago so she would be able to operate in peace. She has to sow the wound shut and that hurts a lot. He had hurt the girl's cries of pain and could do nothing about it. He felt helpless at the sound of her pained voice. After some time they just stopped. He figured she had passed out. Though he could not help and feel sorry for her.
He had become friends with her somehow. He now felt like an obligation to help her. But not like the one you don't want to do. After all, he is the one that found her. He also wanted to help her. He wanted to help a friend. Like he wanted to make white beard king of the pirates, he is going to help her too. Right... pirate… after this… what is she going to do? She can't come with him... it is too dangerous.
Ace shook his head confused. He can't bring her… he is a wanted criminal. It'll just bring her misfortunes. "I'll leave before she wakes up" he mumbled. First he needs to get his bag that's inside.
Soon the door behind him opened and kaede's head poked out. "Ok, she fell asleep so come in quietly" she said grinning.
Ace nodded and followed her in. a little confused on why she was grinning so much.
He saw the girl. He sighted ready to say goodbye as he approached her. He carefully studied her face. Her pale complexion shone from the little light coming in from the window. His eyes traveled to her eyes that had changed colors a couple times when she was with him. They had gone from gray to yellow and to green but and the last time he saw her they were a dark blue.
He however didn't notice kaede trying to he laughter.
She held a peaceful expression and Ace sighted again closing his eyes. He reopened them and she quickly jumped up and tackled him. Ace startled opened his eyes wide.
She stood above him victorious laughing. Ace smirked and tackled her down.
GIRL'S POV. (SPARKY'S) (Before ace came in the room)
Kaede had finally managed to close my wound. I am sore all over and my throat was dry from screaming. Closing the wound hurt more that dealing with it. I patiently waited as kaede put away the sub and cleaned the blood from my back. During the operation kaede had been making jokes so I wasn't half bad. She would make a stupid crack and I would laugh. Even if it hurt it was funny and raised my spirits. I'm not sure if it's normal though. Oh well.
"Hey, how long am I keeping the stitches I ask. I could feel the odd material of the on my back keeping my wounds closed as I change position and lay on my back.
"About 2 months" kaede said casually "and if you though putting them on was painful wait until we get them out. You'll know the real meaning of ouch," she said smirking evilly.
I flinch visibly "great…" I mumble placing my face on the pillow.
Kaede laughed and moved next to me. "How about we scare your big bud whose waiting outside?" she asked,
"You mean Ace?" I asked. It would be cool… and funny...
She nods furiously and grins. She leaned in and whispered me instructions. I smirk and nod my head. I lay on my bed motionless and waited for kaede to call ace in.
Soon enough ace came in. I could feel his stare on me. There was this sort of sad aura around him that made me uncomfortable.
I wanted to open m eyes but decided against it. Maybe it was just me and I would ruin the whole plan.
I heard him let out a sight and decided to just go for it. I quickly scrambled to my feet and jumped on him. He seemed shocked and fell to the floor. I quickly sat up and stood raising my hands and acting like I just won some kind of strength competition. I started laughing at my success as kaede did an odd dance. I stared at kaede laughing as she swung her arms randomly.
Next thing I know I'm under Ace whom is hovering above me. A smirk gracing ace's face.
I feel my head getting hot when kaede lets out a low "oooooohhhhhhhh"
I turn my gaze to kaede who is standing there smirking. I pout. "It was your idea!! Help" I said
Kaede shrugged "you agreed" she said.
I sighed and tried to get my arms free. Ace had them pinned above my head and my legs were also pined by his.
Ace lowers his face so it's next to my ear "who's good?" he said
I pouted not really wanting to finish the sentence. "I will not say it," I say.
Ace smirks and let's g off me but before I can react he is over me tickling me.
I started laughing like no tomorrow and he continuous to tickle me.
End of your POV.
Kaede's POV
I watched as the girl gets tickled to death. I smirked at the weird sight.
"Who's good??? I can't hear you" ace says chuckling.
"Noooo" the girl manages to let out between laughs.
I stared at ace for a second. He reminded me of someone… I met long ago. They even looked the same. Could they be… nahh... Ace is too smart.
End of kaede's POV.
Ace repeats his question and the girl gives him the same answer again. Then she finally crack
"OKHHAHAHAHAHAOKHAHAHSTOPAAHAHAHHAHAYHAHAHOUHAHAH" breath "HAHAHAHAWINHAH YOHAHAH'RE'''GOOD!" She screams laughing.
Ace backs off satisfied by the answer and walked to his backpack. He picked it up and let the strap rest on his shoulder. He picked up the girl and lays her on the bed "sleep now" he said
She lets out a yawn and nods. She just laughed the day away…hah. She snuggles into the covers and closes her eyes.
Ace stares at her before turning around and going out the door.
Kaede stares after him for a second before running next to him. As soon as she catches him, her fist lands on his yaw and he is send flying backwards.
Ace grunts and stands up holding his jaw. "what the hell is your problem!" he screams
kaede glares at him "no! what the hell is YOUR problem" she screamed
"what?" asked ace "you're the one that randomly hit me" he said
"well how could I not!"
"what are you talking about?
"you know"
"what?"
"you're freaking leaving that poor girl!!" said kaede pissed
"I have my reasons" said ace as he stood up and dusted his clothes.
"what could possibly be so important that you have to leave a friend behind alone" she said
"I'm a freaking pirate, she'll get hurt if she comes" said Ace
"so? She's still hurt!, you should at least wait till she get better to leave" said Kaede
ace stares at her normally "that would only delay things" he said
kaede shook her head "she knows no one, she obviously has amnesia, you're the first person who found her therefore the person she trusts the most. Right now if you leave then you'll be betraying her trust which may seriously affect her, she may never trust again" she said
Ace stared at her and glared at the ground. She has a freaking point dam it. "fine" he said and walked inside.
When he went inside he found the girl looking through her old clothes (kaede had given her new clothes) she had pulled out a weird looking object. She stared at it before stretching it. It was like a hairnet. I saw her examine it and walked up to her.
When I came close she looked up and showed me the hairnet. I carefully picked up the object. It was made of a fine material. It was red with a trim that had gold beads. Through the crossing of the material there was also some gold beads giving the net a very elegant look.
"where you found this?" ace asked
"it was in a pocket of my pants.. what is it?" she asked staring at Ace
"a Kufi Cap" he said "this one seems very valuable though, I seen it on the head of royalty" he said. As soon as he finishes that sentence kaede comes in.
Kaede walks up to them "sup?" she asks
the girl looked at her "I don't know but look what I found" she said
Kaede took the fishnet from ace "where you found it?" she asks
"my clothes, pants pocket" the girl responded.
Kaede looked closely and noticed something sowed on the back part of the trim. "For the coolest bud ever from Mika." She carefully read.
The girl seemed confused.
"well, Mika must be someone from your past" said kaede "your friend"
The girl stared at the object.
Kaede stared at her "yeah.. Spark it is" she said
Ace and the girl looked at her confused.
"oh right.. I decided to call our friend here Sparky" said kaede pointing at the girl.
Ace almost fell and the girl grinned
"isn't Sparky a dogs name?" asked Ace
"oh well, I always wanted to name someone Sparky" said kaede
Sparky giggled and nodded "it's fine" she said
Ace scratched the back of his head "if you sa-" he didn't get to finish that sentence before he fell on the floor asleep.
Sparky and kaede stared at him.
Silence
Silence.
KNOCK KNOCK
"COME OUT YOU WITCH" screamed someone
Kaede sighted tiredly "I'll get it" she mumbled defeated. She trudged to the door and opened it.
There stood a angry looking girl with long black hair in front and short white hair on the back.
She was about kaede's age if not older. Her eyes glared at kaede with intention to kill as she took out light torch. "I'm going to kill you witch" she screamed. In a quick swift movement she had set kaede's whorish outfit on fire.
Kaede sighted. "Great" she mumbled sarcastically "I'm melting. Melting… melting…" she said rather dully. And she was. Her skin seemed to be made in water as it started to drip. Her clothes set off in complete inferno and her body became nothing but a puddle with 2 eyes. "You done Minyu?" said the puddle.
The girl, Minyu looked at kaede angered. Sweat forming on her face from the fire in front of her. Part the garden had gone one fire. She cursed the witch before her.
"Ok. You're done," said the puddle. "RETORNAR" said the puddle. The puddle emitted a purple glow and it shot up. Then it fell as kaede.
Kaede landed on her legs and shook her body "wow!! Man that gives cramps!" she said
Minyu's's glare intended and kaede put out the fire in her garden like it was nothing.
Kaede leaned against the doorframe when done "you can't kill me like that" she said
minyu glared "I will kill you! And by doing so I'll give the world a favor!!" she screamed and ran away.
Kaede stared at her retreating form . "and they call me weird?" she mumbled. "who the hell wears a bunny hat in the middle of summer" she said wlaking inside
