Sorry for the major delay. I got a lot of good reviews and the critiques where a lot of help. Hope you all enjoy this chapter as well. Updating this late is unacceptable and for that I apologise. *Bows on floor* TT^TT *Sobs*
Chapter 6:
Ivy stared into Laws eyes and he smirked at her antics while his eyes where hidden under his furry hat. God that smirk is even hotter in person! I am an otaku but I can't let him know about me just yet...And I still need to tell him about my injuries... While Ivy was thinking she closes her eyes and had dropped back to her full foot with her arms recrossed and she stared at him. "Moshi Moshi!? Law?" She then turned back to the range and gasped. "Crap! It's gonna burn!"
/
She lifted the lid and all the steam escaped with a tantalizing aroma that summoned Bepo as if by magic. "Is it done yet?" The bear was drooling a pool and at this Ivy smiled before turning to Law, "I want to add some cinnamon but I don't know if anyone is allergic to it so I can't finish until I know." Law shook his head and Ivy smiled, "Good!" She then pinched in some of the spice before the spoon whipped around the rim once more and she said, "There, all done!" I hope they like my cooking, if I am remembering right they should have an amazing cook... I wonder what happened? As soon as she turned off the heat she shuddered, "Law?" He stared at her and a spark of curiosity crossed his face, "Do ya have a metal spoon by any chance?"
/
The drunkard in the corner had just woken up and hearing this he walked over and handed her the one in his pocket. "Ya may need th's with ya young-in' 'cause th'm boyz out there 're animals c'me din'r t'me." Ivy smiled as she took the spoon and she walked over to the door with the pot in her hand and opening the door she stuck out the spoon. Then she opened the door to find everyone sitting at the tables. She set the soup down before she loudly said, "Ya'll 're so me'n. Ya won't e'vn try me cookin'? It ain't th't bad!" Law walked out after her and was shocked, She just copied Max's accent perfectly. I could use this to my advantage. Law smirked before he sat at the head of the table and Ivy brought him a bowl.
/
All the men where looking at the chunky soup with suspicious looks and Ivy said, "It's called Gumbo ya sissies, and my mom used to make it all the time!" They just stared at her blankly so she grabbed a bowl and gulped it down and when she was done she did a backwards flip and landed in the splits. "See? I'm just fine!" The men, satisfied with her performance, started to eat and Ivy took note that Bepo was having thirds. The idiots didn't even notice that Bepo was eating his heart out 'cause they don't trust me! Stupid mules! /
She sighed then turned as her vision got a bit blurry and her hand grabbed the hot pan for support before she bit back a yelp and blew on her hand. Baka! I am a baka! She grabbed the pot with her other hand and headed back into the kitchen. Law watched her go and frowned, Why did she use her right hand to carry the pot back in? He got up and went after her and found her at the sink, cleaning the pot with one hand.
/
"Oh, hey Law. Do ya need me for somethin'?" Law stalked over to her and watched as she turned and jumped at his sudden closeness before he noticed her moving her left hand towards him and with a smirk he grabbed it. "Aahhh!" Ivy yelped as he grabbed her burn and she jerked away before shoving her hand under the now cold water. "Jeez! I was just gonna ask if you had a first aid kit in here!" She glared at him before shoving her left hand in his face as he started to say, "And why do you need first-" He held her wrist as he examined the burn and he became serious as he started to usher her out of the galley.
/
"Where?"
/
"Pot."
/
"Why?"
/
"Dizzy spell."
/
Law looked at her and she elaborated, "I got insomnia from my fathers genetics so its nothin' new." He nodded and pushed the infirmary door open and he nodded towards the bed before he went to get the burn medicine. I should tell him about that but then I would have to show him... No, anything but that!
/
While she was zoning out Law walked back and grabbed her arm but she flinched before relaxing while he started applying the ointment. "Why did you flinch?" Ivy snapped to attention and replied, "I was deep in thought, about my past." Might as well tell him because from what I learned about him he will find out anyway. Okay, just keep playing it safe for now Ivy, you can do this.
/
Law finished with the ointment and began to wrap her hand, "Past injuries?" Ivy gulped because though he had asked a question it sounded like an order. "My left arm has been broken, my right shoulder blade got shattered, I have received various bruises, I got a concussion when I was 12, and this burn!"
/
Law had long finished bandaging her hand and he was absently scribbling on a folder that had her name on it. "Oh, and about me not being from any of the blues, I wasn't lying about that. In my world you aren't real, your just a character in my favorite anime." Silence followed this and she watched Law pale a bit before he was back. "I don't have a lot of info for ya but I can tell ya everything that you do, If I 'remember' and before ya even think about asking; I do NOT, I repeat, do NOT know who finds the one piece." 'Cause I haven't gotten that far in the series'. Law nodded curtly and, closing his eyes, he pinched his upper nose and thought, I guess that explains why she was smiling at the auction.
/
Law then opened his eyes to find her right in his face and she tilted her head to the side like a lost puppy. "Law? Are we still near Sabaody Archipelago?" He just nodded then she brightened and said, "Then can we dock? I need to buy another set of clothes and I need to see someone before..." Ivy shuddered before she had a painful look cross her face but it dissolved as soon as it appeared. She just thought of what is to come... I will have to ask her about it later since now is not the time. I'll leave you alone for now Miss Ivy but I will have the answers to my questions. He smirked as he put away the file before he went to the bridge to tell Bart to bring them into port.
/
Ivy was sitting in the infirmary with a frown and she sighed before she walked over to Aka. Holding up the kitten she asked, "Do you know why I shivered," when Luffy was sent away by Bartholomew Kuma? Aka just mewed at me and I smiled, Instincts? Maybe it's become an instinct because I memorized the show... Eheh.
/
Ivy took Aka with her when she left and she began to head towards the deck. I guess I should be happy that I like Law cause if I didn't I would have a tough time navigating through the ship. Ivy poked her head out the sub door and found Law and Bepo. "Where's the rest of the-" She cut off when the crew spilled out of the door. Shoot! I got here before the crew! Wait, I followed Law here directly so no harm no foul... Whew.
/
The crew stared at her before shrugging it off and getting comfortable on the deck. Ivy decided to run off to see Shakky as soon as the sub was dock. After docking she leapt over board and landed on the tree roots before taking off, "I'll be back!" Law frowned slightly as he watched her run off before he turned back to his crew. "We still need to get some supplies and someone needs to chase after her," and before I do it myself. Kidd should still be here and I don't want him to steal her.
/
Ivy ran off towards 'Rip Off', a bar owned by former pirate Shakuyaku. Asking some women along the way she found herself at the bars door. Opening it up she found the bar tender beating up a hooligan. That must be Shakky the bartender here, I hope I don't piss her off. Sweat dropping at the thought, Ivy mentally pictured Shakky throwing her out the door.
/
With a sigh she plopped down onto a chair and waited for Shakky to 'finish'. Shakky returned to the bar and smiled down on the girl. "Hi, what can I do for you." "I was wondering if the marines have captured anyone...um... 'significant'?" Shakky shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I hear that they are on the move to capture 'Fire Fist' Ace."
/
Ivy blinked, twice, before she nodded and as she visibly paled she said a quick "thank you Shakky" before leaving. Shakky stared after her before she shook her head, I'm imagining it all. Must have miss heard her say something else. No way she said my name.
/
Outside the bar Ivy found Ray and Bepo waiting for her.
