Dislaimer: I do not own One Piece.
RECAP: Luffy leaned forward and kissed Kai right on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her in closer. Kai's eyes widened as Luffy kissed her, but they suddenly closed as she kissed him back. Everything felt so right and natural when she was with him. Maybe something was stirring. Right now, they didn't care. The rest of the world was just forgotten as they kept on kissing.
Chapter 5
-Next Day-
"Yawn, Morning, everyone! Hi,Kai!" Luffy greets ecstatically.
Luffy, plus crew, was shocked to see Kai totally ignore him. This was unusual since they were best friends with some competitiveness when it came to One Piece and the title for King/Queen of Pirates.
"Kai? Are you okay?" Luffy asked, a little hurt that Kai was ignoring him.
Still, Kai ignored him completely and sat down next to Tashigi who was worried.
"Kai? Why are you ignoring me? If this was about yesterday, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to kiss you. It's just, that... I...I felt it was right at that time to kiss you!" Luffy said.
"WHAT?! Luffy! How can you kiss her?" Sanji yelled at Luffy.
"Luffy! I can't believed you told them that!" Kai said angrily as she got out of her seat and walked right up to Luffy.
"Um,oops?" Luffy replied weakly, feeling really, really small.
Kai growled, totally pissed off. Then, she did something really unexpected. She punched Luffy really hard right in the face. Luffy fell down from the unexpected blow. He was holding his cheek, which was really red and sore. Not only that, but when Kai punched him, he bit the inside of his cheek and it was bleeding.
"Grr! I HATE YOU!!" Kai cried out angrily, tears streaming down her face.
Suddenly, Kai ran away and ran right into the forest. Everyone was so shocked. They had never seen this side of Kai before. Usually, she was so calm and collected and emotionless except for the competitveness. Everyone looked at Luffy who's face was blank.
"Luffy? Luffy, what happened between you and Kai? Your never like this." Nami asked weakly.
"Yeah, you usually make up with food or something. What happened?" Ace asked.
Luffy never replied. Luffy got up and ran right into the forest to follow Kai.
"LUFFY! Luffy, wait!" Nami yelled.
"Guys, I'm really worried about this. I mean, sure. They have occasional fights, but it was never like this." Vivi said.
"Yeah. Something's up. What happened. All I got was something about a kiss." Ace said.
"Luffy must've kissed Kai. But, why is she so angry? He didn't mean it, right?" Nami asked.
"Who knows. Kai's a mystery. Even if she is my childhood friend." Tashigi said.
"So, now what?" Zoro asked.
"Just leave them alone, I guess." Sanji suggested.
"But, something might happen. I mean, they might end up beating the crap out of each other. Or actually, Kai will beat the crap out of Luffy." Zoro said.
"We are so doomed if one of them ends up in a body bag or something." Ace said.
"Yup. We are so screwed." Zoro said.
"Guys! have faith in them. Who knows, they'll probably make up and be best friends again. I mean, Kai's not gonna ignore Luffy for the rest of her life, right? Right?" Nami asked, not really convincing herself or the others.
"Uh, right. I guess?" Vivi said.
"Yup. We are so totally screwed." Zoro said.
-Kai-
Kai was sitting on a rock that was shaped like a chair. She was looking at the beautiful view of the waterfalls. She had been hiding here for more than an hour or two. All the while, she kept on hearing Luffy call her name. Sometimes it's really close, or really far away.
'I can't believe he did that.' Kai thought to herself.
'You can't blame him. He doesn't know. Unless you tell him, then, you'll probably be angry at him till your dead.' Her concious told her.
'I hate you.' Kai said to concious.
'He's coming. Tell him now.' her concious said.
"Kai? Are you here?" Luffy asked softly.
"Yeah." Kai replied back.
Luffy came through one of the gaps between the trees. He walked over to Kai and crouched right in front of her.
"Hi. Look, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you. I..I just thought that it was a good thing. I don't know. I'm really sorry, Kai. Will you tell me what's wrong and why you were ignoring me?" Luffy asked.
Kai was silent for a minute before she decided to speak up.
"It's because, you see...before I met you guys and Tashigi, I used to have a boyfriend." Kai explained.
For some reason, Luffy felt jealous and had no reason why.
"Go on." Luffy urged.
"Well, we were dating for about 3 months now, we were really happy. But, then, that day came. One night, Rai, my boyfriend, came home drunk. He was really drunk that he did something that made me not trust guys. He, Luffy, Rai, he...he...he tried to rape me." Kai said weakly, tears slowly streaming down her face.
"WHAT?!" Luffy yelled angrily.
"Shh! Don't yell. Please don't tell anyone this. Especially Tashigi. She doesn't know anything about this. Please, Luffy." Kai asked.
"Yeah. But, Kai. You know I'm not like that. I would NEVER hurt you. I wouldn't even think of hurting you. I'm not like that. I'm sorry, Kai. I should've never kissed you yesterday. Plase forgive me." Luffy said softly.
"Ok." Kai agreed.
"Friends?" Luffy then asked.
"Hahaha, friends." Kai said softly.
They both shook hands in agreement. Then, Luffy stood up and held out his hand for Kai. She took it, and Luffy helped her up. Then, they both walked back to the ship holding hands.

Ok, I'm finished with this chapter now. Tell me what you think. Also, I'm sorry that I forgot your name, I didn't mean to, but, I want to thank one of the readers who read this and gave me the idea about the Kai telling Luffy the story about her boyfriend. If your mad at me for forgetting you name, then I am fine with you being angry at m because it's my fault I forgot your name. Please read and review.
