Chapter 10: Shining Knight
**Shiva's POV**
˝Now that you know my story Captain Kid, what do you want to do with me?˝ - I challenged him with my eyes
˝Take your stuff and get on the ship. How long till you turn 21 and where is that damn island?˝ - He said. I stood there,shocked.
˝Um it's November and my birthday is in February. Huo Island is in the middle of Kaido's territory.˝ - I replied still in shock.
˝What's with that face? Have you forgotten something? You joined my crew – you're getting that shit done so we can continue and find One Piece!˝ - he said calmly like he was talking about what's for lunch. I stood there processing what he just said. So he won't ditch me after all, even though he knows my story.
I lifted my head and jumped. Hugged him and mumbled ˝Thank you˝
His body went stiff but a couple of seconds later he returned the hug. I missed his smell, it felt so calming. Did I even notice what happened between us? He was still hugging me and holding me and I swear I could feel his hand rubbing my back in a soothing manner.
**Kid's POV**
She tensed all of the sudden. Was it my hand? I didn't notice it move on it's own. It felt good.
Her body on mine. She fit like a glove,more now, after seeing her fight. And her small mystery is resolved as well. I sighed and pulled her closer. Roses she smelt of roses.
I didn't avoid her. Killer did. He seemed jealous. Shiva's head lifted and she looked at me with those eyes.
˝How come you pulled me closer?˝- she asked in a husky voice. Was that because of me?
˝I missed you˝ - I replied to her with her own sentence. She smiled and leaned her head on my chest.
She chuckled and let go of me.
**Shiva's POV**
I just wanted to curl in bed and sleep. ˝Let's go back to the ship˝ - he nodded and we set off.
I was holding Killer's blades in my hands. Finally they were finished. We were sailing for a couple of days now and I made my route smithy-room-apples. Killer was still avoiding me and I was lucky for it. I might rip his head off.
Kidd's influence probably. He did talk to me now, he would come into the smithy every once in a while and sit and watch me work.
I turned the blades, they shone plum-red.
Every Chimera that was a weapon smith had that. Before the great wars with the humans almost every Chimera made weapons. Nowadays it was just a few of them. To every Chimera a color was chosen. My blades were always plum-red, it was my trademark.
My stomach rumbled, hell it had been hours since I ate something, might as well try to interacted with SOMEONE. Urgh. I left the blades and made my way to the galley.
Right before I entered voices came my way.
˝Didn't know they existed! I mean they're mythical˝ - a crew member said
˝I know what you mean! I heard they're monsters, the most feared things in this world. They're bloodthirsty and they even kill children without flinching˝ - another added
˝Sounds like us˝ - roaring laughter exploded. Did they mean the Chimera?
˝I heard something else. You know that Shiva makes those awesome weapons for us?˝ - a hushed voice came
˝Yeah, such beauty˝
˝Shut up, it's irrelevant. They make the most dangerous weapons. Out of human bones. I heard the Navy confiscated a dagger made entirely of children's teeth!˝ - silence. So that was bothering them?
˝Maybe she makes weapon's out of bones! Look at them! They're the sharpest blades I ever saw in my life! And we sailed the Grand Line!˝ - grunts of approval were heard.
˝But where did she get the bones? I mean everybody is present, we only encountered Marines..˝ - I've had enough. So Kid told them what I was. Okay.
I entered the galley and immediately everybody started showing food in their faces. Probably so the couldn't talk.
˝Those weapon smiths were lost in the greats wars of the Chimera centuries ago. M-m-y the Chimera don't have any smiths like that, hardly any at all. So no I don't make weapons out of children's teeth˝ - I told them and went to sit in a corner. I really didn't feel like talking with anyone and I was starving.
Plus my mood worsened, I felt, homesick? Sad? I never felt like this before.
Just as I thought they accepted me this happened. Sigh, should have known. Better keep to myself more.
I felt someone sit next to me and I lifted my gaze. A familiar tin can was in front of me
**Killer's POV**
I saw her near the door listened to those idiots. She seemed hurt. Kid told me ( reluctantly) what she was and that no one in the crew should mess around it or tease. When I asked why he kicked me out of his room
Was she molested?
I saw her explain the crew and she flinched. She stuttered when saying My Chimera. After a breath she distanced herself from them. Was she ejected? Did something happen? I felt something strange. Like an urge to shield her from all evil and bad. Make her happy.
What was wrong with me? She was Kid's not mine. Nor did I want her.
..are you sure?...
I went to her. She looked miserable.
**Shiva's POV**
So the tin can finally decided to talk with me.
˝Ask away I know you want to like everybody else˝ - my voice came out sharper than I thought. He flinched and lowered his head.
˝Look I'm sorry. For the bath thing.˝ - his neck was red, was he blushing madly like that? I lifted my eyebrow and waited for him to continue.
˝What do you need to see if I have marines in my panties now?˝ - I asked bitterly. He shook his head.
˝I'm sorry, I was drunk and didn't think straight. I thought they attacked you˝
˝Yeah because I'm so fragile and can't fight back˝ - I rolled my eyes. I paired with him and he thought I was weaK!?
˝So you think I'm weak?˝
˝God no! I was worried˝
˝Well don't be˝
He stopped eating and looked (pointed his tin can at me). How could I have been friend with someone who clearly underestimated me and wanted to shield my under a glass bell?
˝I'm not weak and stop acting like a Knight in shining armour˝
˝I was just worried about you!˝ - he whispered in a hushed manner
˝Why don't you just stop worring about me! Why did you behave like a jackass before that? Huh!?˝
He didn't answer, that confirmed my doubts.
˝So you were jealous..˝
˝No I wasn't..˝ - he protested meekly.
˝YES YOU WERE! STOP IT! If you have a problem with something tell it to my face and stop avoiding me like a coward!˝ - I barked
˝You're like Kid..˝ - he said
˝Oh I see,that's the fucking problem! Isn't it? Me liking him.˝
˝You know he isn't sunshine˝
˝Yes Killer I'm quite aware that I haven't seen the worst of him yet, but do you know me? Do you know how I am? Have you seen my worst and my best?! You don't know shit about me. He saved me. He did. And when I was lying and dying I heard what you said to him˝ - his head lifted and his body language told me he was shocked ˝Drop the goody act Killer and stop acting like you know me˝
I got up and left.
Poor tin can! I'm being an asshole in both of my fics uhuuhuh. Read and Review and tell me what you think (I accept even angry reviews)
