CHAPTER 5

Zolo was really getting worried, Angel was always looking at him and smirking and so was Robin, Luffy kept laughing at nothing and Nami would giggle every time Tashigi came out on deck. The others where clueless though Sanji had been down in the dumps for a while he eventually accepted the situation and now turned his full attention onto Tashigi whenever he saw her and was still quick to help either Robin or Nami when their men weren't around.

Angel smiled their plan was perfect, only one hitch getting Zolo away from his swords. Angel did have an idea about that though.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Zolo was drunk he had to admit it to himself, he'd become even clumsier than Tashigi without her glasses. Zolo put down his cup as his last opponent Angel slide under the table, he started to reach for his winnings but staggered and almost fell "I'll get em in the morning" he said out loud too inebriated to maintain an inner monologue. He staggered into the Cabins and settled down with his swords in his hands and went to sleep.

Meanwhile outside Angel got up and so did Luffy both totally awake, Angel had managed to swipe some sleeping tablets while getting headache tablets for Robin from Choppers medical bay. He'd spiked everyone's drink except for his and Luffy's as he thought Zolo had a high tolerance and eventually went to sleep as he'd thought he'd won the contest. Nami was also laying on the floor sound asleep she'd been in on the plan but Angel hadn't realized she would be joining them so her drinks where spiked as well Luffy hadn't been happy about it. "Lets get to work" Angel smiled at least this part was simple he snuck into the Cabins and studied the sleeping Zolo he clapped his hands loudly but Zolo didn't stir. Angel advanced on him.

Zolo woke up he wasn't groggy he felt totally rested, odd he usually had a massive hangover after a drinking game, he quickly forgot this as he sensed something wrong. He sat up, his swords where gone, he looked at the others who had obviously either woken up and dragged themselves into their hammocks or been carried by someone. He noticed Angel walk, well stagger into the room clutching his head, "hey Zolo" he whispered then winced as Luffy gave a loud snore Zolo got up and dragged him outside and pushed him against a wall "Where are my swords this isn't a funny prank" Angel gave him an odd look, "I didn't do nufin with you stinking swords, but I thought I saw Tashigi in the hallway when I hauled Luffy's ass inside". Zolo let go of Angel and stormed off, he didn't noticed Angel follow him. Zolo entered Tashigi's room and froze she was only in her underwear "Damm she looks good", Tashigi turned and saw him, she stared at him for a second and then screamed, Zolo ignored this "Where are my swords woman?" he growled, she gave him a confused look, Zolo was about to repeat his question when he felt a foot connect with his backside sending him sprawling into the room. He got up and turned towards the door and saw Angel smiling at him, Angel held up two fingers in the shape of a V "Peace out folks" he then laughed and closed the door, Zolo ran to the door but heard the bolt slide into place. Well he could fix that he was about to ram the door when he heard Luffy on the otherside "ZOLO IF YOU DAMAGE MY SHIP YOUR OFF MY CREW" Zolo froze. He wanted out and away from that damm woman, he wanted to kill Angel but he couldn't disobey his Captain he could betray his friend. Zolo sighed and walked up to the door going for the diplomatic approach "Hey come on guys let me out you've had your fun" he heard Tashigi getting dressed behind him. The only things he heard on the otherside where a loud scrape as something heavy was pushed against the door and a dark chuckle which he could identify as belonging to Angel. Zolo pushed against the door experimentally, it was useless he was stuck and he knew it. He saw Tashigi glare at him, "Fine I'll get us out", she lifted up a long wooden pole designed to hold clothes and advanced on the door 'I can't let you do that" Zolo said as he stood in her way. Tashigi sighed and put down the piece of furniture, she laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, Zolo settled down and tried to go to sleep, he couldn't he figured it was because his swords where missing but it might be the company. He decided to try and pass the time with conversation "Why do you want my swords?" Tashigi turned towards him and glared "Because scum like you don't deserve swords like those important swords" then she turned away again Zolo sighed it was gonna be along day. Zolo was pondering how he could hurt Angel and Luffy for taking his swords when Tashigi interrupted his line of thought "Why did you toy with me out there when I challenged you?" "Because you weren't much of a challenge" he lied "Don't lie to me Zolo I want the truth now". Zolo looked at her for a second and sighed he muttered "so alike" Tashigi gave him a curious look, 'aww hell why not". "Its because you look so much like someone I used to know, I just can't hurt you".

Tashigi felt kindness and sympathy towards the famous ex bounty hunter and something else she crushed them all. 'What happened to her?" she asked and saw Zolo shiver as he brought up bad memories "She died". Before Tashigi knew it she was sitting herself down next to Zolo and touched his hand "Come on tell me". Zolo looked at her, they where so alike, he sighed and began his tale.

When Tashigi heard his tale she had tears in her eyes, the next thing she knew she was leaning on Zolo with her head on under his chin and her left hand on his chest, he had his arm around her shoulders. When Tashigi realized what she was doing she stiffened and thought about pulling away but it was so nice and comfortable she relaxed into it. She heard Zolo whisper her name and she looked up, she gasped as he lowered his head and kissed her, Tashigi couldn't help it a small part of her cried that this was wrong that I wasn't what a Marine was supposed to do but it was a very small part, she leaned into the kiss and moaned as Zolo's tongue pushed its way into her mouth. Tashigi gasped as she felt Zolo lifting her shirt up, her next action surprised her even more, she stood up and he followed, she pushed him onto the bed and jumped on top of him.

Angel sighed as he pushed the barrels away from the door and unbolted it, he walked away tensely expecting it to burst open and an irate Zolo come charging at him, he still had Zolo's swords hidden he'd get them back once he was calm. Angel went up on deck and gave an exaggerated shrug to the expectant crew, Sanji was in on this only because he thought the Marine would kill or at least injure Zolo. At least ten minutes later they heard footsteps in the hallway and the door opened to reveal a rather unexpected sight, both Tashigi and Zolo looked calm they also looked tired and a bit messed up, their clothes where loose and bunched up in places as if they had just thrown them on. The most surprising part was that Zolo had his arm around Tashigi's waste and she was leaning into Zolo with a smile on her face. Angels jaw hit the floor as did the rest of the crew, Zolo gave them a confused look "What isn't this what you guys wanted?" The rest of the crew shook their heads, while Sanji had tears streaming down his face and Usopp patted him on the back. Angel found his voice "NO we where supposed to torture you.. both of you we didn't expect this… shit" Zolo laughed and Tashigi giggled "Well too bad for you, I guess I have to thank you I know I owe you one" he said as he gave Tashigi a squeeze "But I will only do that once you give me back my swords". To Zolo's surprise Nami walked up and handed him his swords, she then gave him a big smile and said "Congratulations" then winked at him, she then grabbed Tashigi and dragged her of to talk to her about the faults common to all men. Zolo watched them go his eye twitching as he heard Tashigi giggle at something Nami said, that didn't look good he thought. He turned back to see Luffy patting Angel on the back, while Chopper led Sanji off to give him a sedative, Usopp merely smiled at Zolo and wandered of to do his own thing. Zolo approached Angel, Angel looked up and smiled at him while rubbing the back of his head "Well it didn't work out like I expected but its still pretty good" Zolo smiled at him as Angel laughed at how his plan had 'backfired'. Zolo blushed which didn't happen often as Angel nudged him and asked in a hushed voice "how was it?", he looked across as Luffy who was waiting expectantly "I'll only tell you if you tell me yours" Angel nodded and said "Alright" none of them noticed Nami, Robin and Tashigi quietly fuming a few feet away. When they did notice all three went very pale, "Uhh guys" Angel said "You're the best friends I've ever had" Zolo and Luffy nodded in agreement then Luffy said something smart for once "Hey guys I think we should RUUUN" as he said this all three scattered.. it didn't save them. The rest of the day was spent in a quiet silence as the non involved crew members tried to stifle laughter as the three boys did their best to appease their angry lovers.
