Shura walked down the hallway headed for her room and somehow Tashigi caught up with her.
"Shura-san! Shura-san!" She shouted running up to her only to run straight into Shura and fall flat on the ground. Shura turned around irritated, "Didn't I tell you not to call me Shura-san?" Shura growled lowly, Tashigi slowly got up rubbing her swore wrist which she had landed on. "What am I supposed to call you then? I hardly know you well enough to call you Shura-chan or even Kun!" Tashigi said frustrated with Shura's strange anger and resentment toward her.
"Nothing, I don't want anything to do with you or this base. I hate it here and as soon as I get the chance I'm out of here." Shura spat with her hands in her pockets, Tashigi was seriously starting to get on her nerves. Her character was just too damn noisy and jumped into conclusions too fast. She didn't even bother to find out the whole story first. Just ask Zoro.
Tashigi gritted her teeth in anger at the girl her same age and height. "You should be more grateful! Captain Smoker offered you a way to pay off your debt! I hate people like you! They never appreciate what life hands to them! " Tashigi shouted at Shura angrily for her being ungrateful of an act of charity.
Shura then grabbed Tashigi's jacket and slammed her against the wall.
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID BITCH!" Shura screamed in her face making Tashigi go silent, Tashigi stared at Shura slightly terrified of her at the moment.
Shura lowered her face and tightened her grip on Tashigi's jacket. "You are an idiot for thinking you can just smile and talk just like he does. I hate you for thinking you can just run up and call me 'Shura-san' just like he did! I hate you because you don't even bother to think for a second that maybe just maybe I couldn't control weather or not I came through that damn window!" Shura said with her eyes filling up with angry tears, she was angry at Tashigi, Smoker and everyone else.
But most importantly, she was angry at herself.
"I hate it here, I hate you. I hate Smoker. I hate everyone in this base. So don't call me anything Tashigi because I won't be here for much longer." Shura said before letting go of Tashigi's shirt and walking to her room.
Tashigi fell to the ground taken back by Shura's outburst. 'Who was she talking about?' She thought trembling a bit from fear.
Shura didn't bother to eat that night, she wasn't hungry. The next morning came and this time Smoker was knocking on Shura's door.
"Oi, Shura wake up!" Smoker shouted from the other side of the door starting to get annoyed, and then he turned himself into smoke going under Shura's door to see Shura asleep. He was about to wake her up until he saw the expression on her face.
It was guilt filled along with sheer melancholy.
"I'm sorry… Minato…" Shura mumbled in her sleep, she shifted in her sleep and Smoker was surprised to see her crying in her sleep. Strangely enough though there were no tears.
That struck something inside Smoker that moment; he just couldn't stand to see that expression on Shura's face from some strange reason. So he reached out and was about to shake her awake until Shura felt an extra source of warmth and gave a good tug throwing Smoker on the bed with her.
Smoker had a clearly surprised expression on his face because Shura was able to easily throw him in the bed with one arm in her sleep.
Shura hugged him in her sleep and then muttered "Pillow." Smoker blushed at this awkward situation; he stared down at Shura's now calm expression surprised. 'I will not be able to live this down if one of the marines comes in here.' He thought, he then made a move to get up but… Well just watch.
"Stop moving stupid pillow." Shura said tightening her hug into a bone crushing one; Smoker bit his bottom lip when he felt pain from what he was pretty sure to be a broken rib now. Just when Smoker thought this couldn't get worse.
"Um… Shura…? I wa…want to apologize for whatever I did last night to upset you." Tashigi spoke quietly Smoker cursed his bad luck when he heard Tashigi's voice. When there was no answer she opened up the door.
"C-C-Captain S-Smoker!" Tashigi shouted with a red face at what she saw, some of the other marines leaned over to see Shura hugging a very uncomfortable Smoker in her sleep. "Tashigi it's not what it looks like Shura-!" Smoker shouted now panicking his worst nightmare and came true.
Just then Shura woke up, "What the hell do you what you bastards?" Shura growled darkly clearly upset that she was awoken from her sleep. There was a dark aura coming from Shura at that moment and it seemed to make the world much darker. Lighting struck outside the window hitting some poor chore boy on the roof in the process. But none the less the random lighting seemed to add to the scary aura around Shura.
"Can't you see that I'm trying to sleep here? So go away." Shura said her eyes promising dark terrifying threats if they didn't leave. Tashigi gathered her wits about her and slowly closed the door whimpering.
Smoker made a move to get up, but Shura pulled him back down. "You're not going anywhere pillow-chan." Shura grumbled moving into the same spot as before and going back to sleep.
After Shura woke up on her own free will she was in a much better mood. Smoker managed to get his ribs checked and thankfully they were only bursed. Shura got cleaned up and was now following Smoker down the hallway as if nothing had happened yesterday.
"Ne, Smoker why were you even in my room in the first place?" Shura finally asked making Smoker stiffen and stop. "I was trying to wake you up." He said honestly but Shura didn't believe him.
"You were watching me sleep weren't you?" Shura said climbing on Smoker's back and hugging his neck from behind, Smoker stiffened up and turned red "Smokey's a pervert ne?" She purred noticing Smoker's discomfort.
Then Smoker threw her off and into the wall. There was an indent of Shura's body in the wall but she didn't seem slightly effected by it when she jumped up from her upside down position.
"That's not the way to treat a lady! At this rate Smokey you're never gonna get laid not even by even a prostitute!" Shura shouted at him, but Smoker could only wonder why Shura wasn't even bleeding from the impact. 'How can she not even be slightly affected by that? Is it possible she has eaten a devil fruit?' Smoker thought with wide eyes
"Oi! Pot Smoker are you listening to me?" Shura shouted in Smoker's ear, but this only earned another punch from Smoker.
"You could've just said no." Shura mumbled with a now swollen jaw. Smoker just ignored her and dragged her to the training grounds
Eventually they made it to the training grounds and Smoker shoved Shura's rifle into her arms.
"Show me how you hold the rifle." Smoker ordered, Shura thought about doing something sarcastic but then again she didn't feel like it after those two hits from Smoker.
Shura adjusted the rifle in her hands not used to holding a gun. But she was smart enough to put the butt near her shoulder. Smoker eyed her position and then adjusted it a bit.
"Don't put it so close to you, because when it blows back it's going to dislocate your shoulder." Smoker said helping Shura adjust her gun, Smoker half expected Shura to make a comment but she didn't.
Smoker took a step back to see Shura's position from a far. But what he didn't realize was he was in front of the rifle's barrel. Shura's finger twitched and well…
BANG!
'Oh fuck me,' Shura thought miserably when she heard the sound and felt the blow back. Luckily the bullet went through Smoker as he turned himself into smoke. Of course this hit the same chore boy who got shot by the lighting killing the poor man.
Smoker looked behind him and then at Shura. "Shura…" He stated dangerously, Shura's eyes filled up with tears of terror, she drop the gun then shot off with Smoker chasing after her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Shura shouted running away from Smoker as fast as she could, then Shura remembered hey she was a ninja in the last world maybe she could just.
Shura ducked down an alley before Smoker could see her and then formed a hand sign making three other Shura's she ordered them to go in different directions and they did. Shura smiled, this would so be a good time to high tail it out of here. So she headed to her room to get her things that mattered.
With suit case in hand Shura marched down to the docks looking for a tiny ship to use to get off this island.
Just when she found one she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Just where do you think you're going?" A guff voice said, Shura sighed roughly. Damn it was Smoker. Shura then smiled and turned around to Smoker "Across the big blue ocean Smoker-kun! My Granny is sick and I have to get to her to take care of her!" She chirped sarcastically, Smoker rewarded Shura with a punch on top of the head then picked her up and headed back to base with her.
A few months past and Shura seemed to be doing fine with the marine training. In fact now she was the same rank as Tashigi. Even though every now and again she'd try to escape. But Smoker was always there to drag her back to the base.
"Oi put me down you giant gorilla!" Shura shouted being carried back to the base once more after trying to escape. The towns' people had gotten used to this and found great amusement out of it.
"No because if I do you'll just run straight back to the docks." Smoker said gruffly highly annoyed with Shura's twentieth attempt at escaping. "And you treating me like this Smokey is only making me want to run away~!" Shura sang teasing him, by now Smoker had gotten used to her just teasing by talking but, he hadn't gotten used to when Shura would step it up a level with touching.
"But we all know this is the only way I can get any attention from you Smokey-kun!" Shura purred playing with his hair now wanting pay back for him ruining her attempt at escaping. Smoker blushed darkly because one there was people watching and listening and two Shura was still ten years younger than him!
"S…Stop." He said trying to order her to stop but him stuttering didn't sound very intimating, it's not like Shura was scared of Smoker anyway. Now Daddy that's the guy she was scared of, the guy who could shoot you through the heart and you not even know it.
Shura snickered now pleased that Smoker was uncomfortable, when they finally got back to the base Shura was sent straight to her room and Smoker headed to his room to try and calm down.
The rest of the marines just shook their heads at Shura and Smoker.
After a few minutes of relaxing a marine came into Smoker's room.
"Captain Smoker the straw hat pirates have landed in longue town." He said holding Luffy's wanted poster. Smoker sighed roughly, he just sat down.
Shura laid across her bed holding a poster up staring at it.
"Looks like my ticket out of this place is coming." She said smirking at the grinning picture of Luffy.
