Chapter 9: Boiling
**Shiva's POV**
You said you don't have to speak
I can hear you
I can't feel all the things you've ever felt before
I said it's been a long time
Since someone looked at me that way
It's like you knew me
And all the things I couldn't say
Together, to be
Together and be
Together, to be
Together and be
Together, to be
Together and be
The voice in my head sang. Finally all things were okay and now this stupid dream. I woke for the umpteth time this week. Won't get any sleep might as well work some.
It was still night when I made my way to my special room.
You see, a lot happened after my make up with Kid.
We did talk that night. With our bodies. I felt my cheeks blush at the memory and a small smile appear on my lips. He chanted ˝mine˝ the whole time I was with him. Possessive eh?
My special room was a smithy where I was making new or improved old weapons, the crew was quite thrilled to learn what my skills were. Soon there was a long list of wishes, Kid's and Killers being the biggest. If I could just sleep... I didn't mind working in the contrary! I loved making something with my hands. Inventing and making stuff was what got im me into the smith craft. I yawned and went to my latest project, a new blade for Killer. It was almost done, just the finishing strokes with sand paper.
**Kid's POV**
I heard her move. She couldn't sleep again, like me.
I had insomnia for a week now. Did she fucking infect me with a disease?! I grumbled and covered my head with the sheets. Her face came to my mind, how the fuck did she make those weapons?! She doesn't have a Devil fruit ability and yet everything that comes out of that room is utterly perfect.
How the fuck did she do it? She didn't have a kiln nor any source of heat. How did she bend and shape the metal?
The dagger I asked of her was made partially of sea stone and it gleamed red. Wavy blade and extreme sharpness. She was truly an artist. But the ways that she use to do it still were in the dark.
To top it of she doesn't let anyone in when she's working. Why the fuck?!
I was wide awake now and grumpy. (a/n: AWWWWWWW)
There was one thing that made me smirk – Killer was avoiding her like a plague. Wonder why...
**Killer's POV**
She was up again. I could hear her from the crow's nest. Working. Maybe she's finishing my blade.
I sighed recalling the day I asked her to make that blade.
*flashback*
˝Hey Killer!˝ - She greeted me with a smile. I had to frown behind my mask. Why?
˝Can you make me a new blade for my scythes?˝ - I mumbled.
˝Sure, the same size? Any wishes?˝ - she asked happily. Man someone made her happy. And I knew who it was. I grumbled.
˝No the same˝ - and I went back ignoring her after that.
*end flashback*
Why was I grumbling so much? She obviously liked him and vice versa. I even helped when they needed to talk and make up things. I sighed and look to the ocean
*** morning***
**Shiva's POV**
I yawned and heard my stomach rumble. Hmm guess it's morning already, I should eat some breakfast. I stretched like a cat and made my way to the galley and hopefully something sugary was there.
Danny saw me enter ˝OI girlie you awake so early? Hungry?˝ - he smiled.
Morning were so much brighter with that smile ˝Starving!˝ - I growled playfully. Oh god, I'm spending to much time with Kid.
He came to me with a plate filled with eggs, bacon and a cup of coffee. No sugary heaven, eh? Oh well, I'm hungry. I started to inhale my food and noticed him still standing next to me. Normally he would have gone back to the kitchen.
˝Umm..do you need anything?˝
˝You look like hell˝ - he said and I choked on some bacon. What?
˝What do you mean?˝
˝Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?˝ - he asked concerned. Ah, I knew what he meant. My skin was dull and I had big dark circles under my eyes. The lack of sleep and all the work were showing on my face.
˝I know. I can't sleep at night so I go to work. It helps clear my mind˝
˝I know that but you should sleep more. Are you having nightmares or insomnia like Cap'?˝
My eyes widened, Kid had insomnia? Why didn't he tell me!? I growled and finished my meal.
˝Thank you Danny˝ - I thanked him and rushed to Kid's room. I wasn't staying anymore there. They had actually showed me that they had guest rooms. Three of them. Those fucking liars. I remember lashing out on them for being jackasses. Well now I had a nice sized room with a bed, a desk, a commode with my things and a nice big window.
I entered without knocking. He was sitting on his chair looking at some papers.
˝Why didn't you tell me you couldn't sleep?˝ - I demanded. He looked at me with his lazy look, much like that night and I blushed. After that night, well, we didn't speak of it or do anything. We talked more but that's it. I was still unhappy about that. I shook my head ˝Well?˝
˝We're docking at a winter island soon˝ - he said with a smirk
˝Don't ignore my question!˝ - I yelled
˝Stop yelling and neither did you˝ True but still. I huffed and turned to leave ˝There are hot spring there, it's a mixed bath, you want to join the crew?˝
˝I thought I joined the crew˝ - and he didn't know about my little surprise yet. I smirked and turned around still smirking.
˝Join as there, it's a mixed bath and you're the only woman here˝ -he said
˝So what? Maybe some of the guys fancy me˝ - I winked and he looked angry. Finally a reaction from him. I laughed ˝I'm going to work some more, see you later˝ - and exited with that.
**Kid's POV**
What does she mean with ˝So what? Maybe some of the guys fancy me˝ I growled deep and smashed my glass. Don't they fucking dare...
She's mine. Mine.
**Later on**
**Shiva's POV**
We finally reached the fucking winter island and it was to fucking cold. I was shivering like a mad woman and my teeth were chattering. I had on my warmest jacket and my favourite boots. Still too cold. I hoped those warm springs were boiling hot.
(a/n: her boots : just google getto grip boots. Those are my favs as well)
I followed the crew through the snow. Some of them were jumping crazy and laughing like maniacs. Born in the North Blue I guess? Urgh. Kid was leading, and the fucker wasn't even cold, with his furry coat and no shirt on. Killer was still avoiding me. Wonder why? What did I do now? I thought we were something like friends. I missed talking to him. Thankfully Heat and Wire warmed up some and we talked while going to the hot springs.
After passing the snow covered village we come to the bottom of the concave shaped mountain. A large house stood and behind it steam was rising. The hot spring were on the open!? Oh hell. We entered and I heard Kid threaten the guy at the reception. I chuckled, maybe we'll have the whole place for ourselves.
I went to the woman's changing room and the crew went to the mens.
I had everything to me. I stripped and put a thick white towel around my body. I could see my tattoos in the mirror and my fair skin. I've gotten my weight back at normal and my wounds were almost healed.
**Kid's POV**
We entered the changing room and I started stripping down. Warm water for our muscles. Not that they were sore, we didn't have a normal fight in days. Fucking boredom. I need to release some steam.
I made my way to the steaming water. The hot springs were in the open. I smirked and entered the water. It was scorching hot and soothing. Yelling at some guys I ordered booze.
I need to relax.
The men started coming in the water and I noticed a familiar blonde head. Killer was coming slowly and with his mask in hand. So that's why he was the last one. I sipped my drink and noticed a small figure approaching. So she came. She strolled nonchalantly to us and started coming in the water. The crew froze and stared. I growled loudly for them to hear and they broke their gazes at her. Good.
She looked around and spotted Killer. Her eyes went wide.
**Shiva's POV**
Killer didn't have his mask on. He was...handsome. Long blonde hair, bangs to his eyes which were azure blue. He had a handsome face with nice lips. I knew I was staring but I couldn't help it. His eyes met mine and I smiled. He frowned and looked elsewhere.
Urm did I do something? I frowned and searched for Kid's face. He was at the other end nursing booze. Again.
I made my way to him. His brows lifted and he smirked. I couldn't stop the smirk from appearing on my lips. Maybe I should tease him some? I reached him and sat half on his leg half on the tub. He looked at me with wide eyes and I smiled and leaned in the water so I was to my chin under water. It sure was relaxing.
Shifting my eyes I looked at the crew, they were all relaxing, chatting and drinking. except for one. Killer was alone in a corner frowning with a bottle in his hand. I saw another,empty one, behind him. Was he trying to get drunk quick? Why?
˝Kiiddd˝ - I mused and he nodded ˝Why is Killer depressed? Did I do something?˝
He chuckled and grinned ˝Dunno ask him˝
˝Gladly but he's avoiding me. He looks good without his mask˝ - I commented without thinking. Kid glared at me and took a long swing.
Wait.
We're they jealous at each other?
Just fucking great. ˝Gimme some of that˝ - I took Kid's drink and took a swing. I'm going to need this. He chuckled and yelled for some more booze. I dozed of and relaxed.
It had been two hours and we were still in the water. My skin was prune and I have boiled over.
˝I'm going out. ˝- my voice slurred. Fuck. Hot water and alcohol don't mix. Heat laughed and winked at Kid who glared at him. I shook my head, big mistake, and almost doubled over. Good thing I was clutching my now wet towel and that Kid caught me. I blushed and tried to hide my body. He doesn't have to see that thing yet. I smirked and got out.
I went to the showers and turned them on. Some cold water will clear my head.
I didn't hear the ruckus outside my shower.
**Killer's POV**
I drank my 3rd bottle and heard some buzzing outside. I turned my head and saw Marines. Great. I just needed them. I smirked and put my mask back on my face. I swayed but got ready to fight, Kid was already barking orders at the men.
**Kid's POV**
Finally something to slash. Killer was drunk during daytime. Something new I smirked and watched the Marines spill into the bath. Good.
I was slashing and laughing. It felt so good. Bodies everywhere, blood on the walls and my men cheering.
I entered the changing room's and heard yelling. It came from the woman's room.
**Shiva's POV**
I came out of my shower and put a bathrobe. Something crashed inside the changing room. I opened the door and saw Killer.
Standing with my panties in his hands. My pink panties. I was enraged.
˝What the fuck are you doing?˝ - I yelled and he looked at me (pointed his mask).
˝Marines are here I thought they came here and hid˝
˝WHAT IN MY UNDERWEAR? THEY HID THERE? ARE YOU BRAINDAMAGED KILLER?!˝ - I shrieked and Kid busted in. He looked at me flustered and then saw Killer and the item in his hands.
˝The fuck are you doing here? What is tha-˝ - he stopped mid sentence as he realized what the other men held.
˝He thought Marines hid in my underwear apparently˝ - I huffed pissed off.
˝Killer!˝ - he barked ˝I FUCKING HOPE YOU HAVE A REA-˝˝
˝I CAME TO SEE IF SOMEONE WOULD ATTACK HER˝ - they both yelled at the same time.
I had enough of this ˝BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP˝ - snatching my underwear from Killer hand I continued ˝I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT YOUR REASONS GET THE FUCK OUT!NOW˝ - I felt it. My eyes went red and my vision reddened. My fingers elongated into claws and they stared at me.
The door busted open.
Oh look a new chapter! Read & Review and show me looove! *pancake mode on*
