I was standing on the deck of the ship. The wind was blowing effortlessly through my white hair, and my dress was fluttering around my knees, sometimes rising high enough to expose one of my cheeks. The deck was noisy with the bustling of pirates. I wandered inside to the captain's quarters and sat down in the window seat that was lined with a lot more cushions than was needed. He would be arriving at Marinford momentarily. Even though he said he planned to keep me out of sight as much as possible, I think that will be quite a difficult task. With my white hair, I stood out like a sore thumb. Not to mention Doflamingo himself wasn't exactly inconspicuous.
I felt the ship docking and made my way to the deck. Doflamingo was standing there as though he was the King of the world. All said and done, he may have been a king, but not of the world. I was standing just behind him trying to hide myself behind his massive frame. But he took a step back, now standing right beside me as though trying to draw as much attention to us as he possibly could. Ahh, this is not what normal people consider inconspicuousness to be.
We disembarked the ship, following behind a guide who was showing us to our room. That's right, OUR room. I was beginning to think that maybe he wasn't planning to keep to his words... After all, how am I supposed to sleep in the same bed as this guy? Pfft, that's definitely not going to happen.
As soon as we arrived I stated my intentions, "I'll sleep on the floor, as I have no desire to share a bed with you."
He glanced down at me and smiled, "That's not necessary, I'll take the floor. The bed is all yours."
Hm, really? I never pegged him for a considerate guy. Well whatever, I wasn't about to argue.
"Thanks." I said as I went to make myself comfortable on the edge of the bed.
"I have to get going, the meeting should be starting soon. I'd take you with me but I don't think I'm allowed." That's surprising.
"You really follow Marine rules?" He threw his head back and began laughing. After a good ten seconds he stopped and looked down at me.
"You'd be surprised at how reasonable a man I can be." Why do I get the feeling that what he just said wasn't a response directed towards navy rules?
˜AT THE MEETING˜
"We've called you here today to announce the introduction of a new Shichibukai, Trafalgar Law. And to introduce him to the current Shichibukai."
Law wandered in through the double doors. If looks could kill then Doflamingo would be burning in hell a thousand times over by now.
"Law, it's been a while. I'm glad to see you've been doing so well."Doflamingo glared at him through his sunglasses. A glare accompanied by his notorious grin which was oozing pride for the man Law had become. It was also oozing rage for the act of Law betraying him in order to get this far.
Law simply returned the glare and introduced himself to the other Shichibukai at the meeting (Kuma and Hancock), "I'm Trafalgar Law. I look forward to working with you."
Doflamingo broke into laughter as he stood up and sauntered out of the room. His laughter could be heard all the way down the hall. When he got back to the room, Kaiyan was gone. That cocky smile he still had on his face vanished immediately. He walked into the bathroom to check she wasn't there and returned to sit on the edge of the bed. He would have informed the marines she'd gone missing, but he promised he wouldn't announce her presence. There were some parts of his agreement with her he had already planned on breaking, but this wasn't one of those parts.
Nightfall was approaching fast and he only had about fifteen more minutes of daylight before the sun disappeared completely. He paced at the end of the bed pondering about what he would do when he realised what he was in fact doing.
"Am I pacing...? Why am I pacing. It's almost as though I'm worried about her. Hm, preposterous. I don't know a thing about her. Why should I care? Ah but she is so very fascinating. I was hoping to have a little more fun with her before she left." A vain popped on his forehead, "Nn, this is irritating me more than it should be. I believe I may be genuinely disappointed that she's gone." With that out-of-character speech aside, he left for the nearest bar.
"I'll drown my contemptible worrying."
