Chapter 4:
She charged past them after she ducked under Bepos' arms and she soon ran over a bridge with them hot on her heels. She ran down a couple alleys and after she ran through a couple groves she finally came to a stop and turned around. The sweaty mechanics almost ran into her but stopped just before they hit her. Bepo wasn't as fortunate and the three found themselves dog-piled on top of the girl. They all got up and when they turned to help the girl she was laughing and smiling as she clutched her stomach on the ground. They where shocked when she stood up and they saw the kitten in her hands, "I'm sorry, we did not see the cat and then we fell on you." Shachi looked down while Penguin paled and Bepo became depressed. "Aka is fine, I pulled her to my stomach and bent my back when we landed so she is just fine. Though, I must say, ya sure are stupid for not being worried about me runnin' off…" Ivy began to back away while she said this and then, when she finished she turned, and she ran… right into Law.
An arm snakes its way around her waist, holding her flush to its owner. Ivy looked up and she resisted the urge to smirk at her captor. Heh, took ya long enough. She stared up into her captors' storm gray eyes and she saw curiosity burning in their depths. "You can let go now Law." The orbs blinked twice and Ivy saw disbelief flash in them for a second before the emotion was replaced with amusement. "You do realize the situation your in, right?" She looked down at his arm before her stare returned to his eyes and she replied, "I am quite aware of our flush body's; however, that is beside the point here seeing as my kitten has been caught in the middle." The grip loosened but was still present while she lifted the small kitten. Ivy then cooed to the kitten, "Does anything hurt Aka?" She then looked back at Shachi and Penquin and bluntly said, "Your gonna catch flys if you don't shut your mouths." She heard them snap shut and she then turned back to Law with a put-down look. "To be perfectly honest, I was kinda hoping for Kidd to be the one who bid on me…" Ivy sighed and looked away with uninterested eyes while thinking to herself, How do you like them apples Law? Bepo then remembered what he had wanted to ask the girl and blurted out, "How did you know my name before I even told you it?" Ivy tensed at this and Shachi intervened by saying, "Well, we did ask a lot of people if they had seen you Bepo." "We didn't talk to her though," Penguin cut in, "and I think we would have recalled talking to her." Ivy sighed, I guess he's not gonna give me a break here... She took a chance and looked up at Law before she felt a slight pinch and the world became black.
Law handed the limp girl to Bepo before turning away. "Let's head back before she wakes up." Ivy jerked awake when they began to cross the bridge but Bepo was deep in thought so he didn't notice. That jerk! He had heard enough then nocks me out like I'm gonna run away and be a pain in the ass! Well, I didn't really give him a good first impression running away but…. Oh! I need to slow my heart beat before Bepo notices! Ivy calmed down instantly and realized that she was still holding Aka and, to her relief, the kitten was unharmed. Ivy began to smell the sea better and then she heard their boots on the gang plank and she decided to 'wake up'. She slowly reached up and began to scratch behind Bepos ear and she felt him relax and took that chance to slip onto her feet. She then pushed forward lightly while she continued scratching to coax the bear into the sub and shut the door behind her. Sighing she turned only to be slammed into the door with a hand on her shoulder and opening her eyes she find Law standing in front of her while his other hand is flush with the metal beside her head. "How are you awake? That usually nocks people out for two hours not one." Ivy gulped then said, "I actually woke up when you crossed the first bridge," she saw Laws eyes darken and quickly added, "Bepo didn't notice cause he was thinking about something and actually, I'm surprised you made it more than 25 steps before I woke back up." Laws look lightened to curiosity. "Law, you need to move your arm," Ivy saw him open his mouth and continued, "Unless you would like to continue the interrogation here, I just thought that the infirmary would be a bit more comfortable." God that was close! Ivy thought as she smacked herself mentally, I almost ordered him around! She felt the hand on her shoulder move and she looked up in surprise and saw that Law was walking away. "Bepo?" The bear looked at her and she said, "Can you come to? I would feel better if you were with me. Please?" She pulled on Bepos' paw and he nodded in agreement to her request then followed as she took off after Law.
