To say that Trafalgar Law was pissed would be an understatement. The fact that Bepo had disappeared under both his and his crews noses was infuriating to say the least.

"Why the hell is there a giant hole in my sub? Where is Bepo? Give me back my crew mate or I'll –"

"Or you'll what Mr. Trafalgar?" Cassie interrupted the Dark Doctors little rant. "Whip us with your towel. Law, really? I thought you knew better than to board a possibly hostile ship, un-armed and very much naked." Cassie used her powers to make herself appear behind Law. "Though I'll give you credit for being noble enough to come after your nakama despite the situation." At this point Trafalgar's normally dark skin was slowly becoming darker due to the increasing blush that was spreading across his face due to Cassie's closeness.

The rest of the crew couldn't see or hear much else at this point. Cassie had lowered her voice and was facing a very embarrassed Trafalgar Law, so they couldn't see what she was saying to make the usually suave captain to become a complete mess.

Milah had already figured out what Cassie had planned to do. Silently she thanked Kami because Cassie was putting here pride aside and buying them precious the time that they needed to save this situation.

Milah looked back towards the main deck in time to see Trafalgar slip below deck with what appeared to be a nose bleed. Cassie took this opportunity to jump back up to the rest of her crew mates and explain the situation.

"'Kay guys I brought you guys some time to figure this whole thing out. We're going to invite the boys over from the Heart Pirates and have a party; as not to panic them as to where their Captain and first mate have gone. So Crimson make lots of food and here's the key to the alcohol storage." Cassie handed over her most precious key in hopes that she can maintain the peace between the two crews. "Keep them merry for the night and in the morning we'll help tem sort out their ship and return Bepo to them. So Rhiannon make the most of Bepo now because I don't know when he'll be leaving. Milah you're in charge, orders of the first mate. Make sure to have a good time tonight girls. But now I have to attend to a patient with a sever nose bleed." And as quickly as she came she left her crew mates on deck as she floated down below deck to where Law had disappeared too.

There was silence for an instance.

Ellen slinked over to the edge of the ship and saw just what exactly had happened to the sub. No joke there was a huge hole in the nose of the sub. Ellen then announced that Penguin, Sachi along with the rest of the Heart Pirates were making their way aboard without invitation, so they would discover there was a party soon enough.

Rhiannon was helping Bepo hang decorations between hugging him every five seconds. Flame was lighting candles wishing that they would explode and Crimson was about to go mad with power from holding the booze key. All was well on the Never Rain even when someone asked.

"Wasn't this the same reason we had a party last time anyway?"

Crimson shot a look towards Milah, who was happily drinking and giggling at some of the less important Heart pirate's antics.

"Yes about two days before we recruited you two, Captain stole Bepo off their ship then too." Milah explained taking a sip of her drink.

"But didn't we meet up with them a couple months ago. We didn't have a party then. So why now?" Crimson questioned.

"That's because both Ellen and Bepo got captured by the Marines that time. So there was no time to celebrate as the Marines chased us. Or, or for that matter, any reason to cover up for Rhiannon's indiscretions." Milah stated as she clapped at one of the stunts that the Heart Pirates preforming.

Crimson still didn't fully understand what was going on, but before she could state her concerns she noticed that one of the Heart Pirates had approached. From what she could gather from his green hat with red rim that it was Sachi.

She had meet him last time and had liked him because he a generally nice guy that would only peek at her cleavage when she would turn away and would talk to her face during conversation. Not like some of the other pirates that would blatantly stare at her chest like expecting them to perform a back flip or something.

"Hey there, what could I get ya? The steaks are almost ready, they need to sit for a couple more minutes so the juices can even out." She glanced up to see Sachi beet red and finding the floor extremely interesting.

"I just want to say that you very pretty tonight Crimson and that I hope you have a lovely eve—"

Crimson cut him off with kiss. With the wolf whistles in the background she told him that she was thankful for the comment and that she was happy with the way he had treated her with respect. She also promised that if he was still awake later that she would like to spend some alone time with him.

With that she gathered up the resting meat and moved it to the kotatsu. All Milah could do was roll her eyes. It was no secret on The Never Rain that Crimson was a bit of a slut. It was just unfortunate that her latest victim was a decent guy, who was so excited that the girl he had been crushing on for the past couple of months had accepted his compliments with such vigour. She could practically see the mirth in his body language as he was telling Penguin in great detail was she had promised him later tonight. It was kind of funny to watch, she wondered how he'll feel in the morning. It was also known around the crew that Crimson was a bit wild in the sack. That's why should always agree to sleep with guys that don't give off the aura that they get laid regularly. She swore that those that don't always try harder in bed to please their partners than those that have sex on a regular basis. Another thing known on the ship was that Rhiannon had never been seen even flirting with a guy, "Maybe she's too stupid." Crimson couldn't help but spear that thought as she divided up the stakes "Mmm fresh meat, tehehe."

Bepo and Rhiannon were playing 'Patta cake, Pekaboo' when she suddenly froze.

"Haha! You lose! "Bepo's good mood died when he saw his kidnapper's/friend's/pen pal's face. White as his own fur, and her eyes were the colour of dark storm clouds.

"Man over bored!" The party stopped and with her Captain's cry… Crimson knew she wasn't getting laid.

Milah looked over at her Captain to see where she was pointing to. She saw her captain point port side. There in the distance was a small dingy.

"Captain, the term man over board is used when a person falls off the ship not when there is a ship coming. When we ship in the distance we say 'ship of the port side' that way we prevent confusion." Milah explained to her Captain.

"Whatever," Rhiannon replied. "All that matters is that there is something there. I feel pain!"

"She's right." Cassie popped up next to Milah.

"Milah bring the boat here I smell the scent of blood. It's strong too so whoever it is needs help now. I'll prep the med room. Flame start examining the Heart Pirates ship to see the extent of the damage Rhiannon caused. Crimson keeping serving the Heart Pirates and make sure they stay out of the way. Captain?" Cassie waited patiently for Rhiannon to allow the orders to go ahead. Rhiannon was looking I'll, it's the first time in a long time Cassie had seen her like this.

Eventually Rhiannon nodded and allowed the crew to set out about the first mate orders. When this was going on the Heart Pirates no longer felt in the mood to party and stayed quiet and out of the way of the working women. A splash was heard to indicate that Milah was on the move to retrieve the boat. Rhiannon moved to the port side where she waited to help Milah move whoever was in the boat to the med room.

Cassie moved back below deck to the med room where she was greeted by a very dishevelled looking Law.

"What's going on Cass, you left rather suddenly."

"In my room, in the bottom draw, in my dresser, there should be some pants and a top that should fit you. Put those on and get your arse back up here we have a patient coming in with severe bleeding for what I can smell. It would be stupid not to use every resource available to help this person out. So move it mister."

Without saying another word Law retreated back to Cassie's room to get dressed. Cassie began prepping the room with all the required equipment she could possibly need for any type of situation that could possibly happen. She ran the large sink with warm water and mixed in the disinfectant solution. When the sink was full she scrubbed her arms, hands and nails till they were pink. She grabbed a couple of disposable towels to dry off. The then moved to the box of disposable gloves where she grabbed a pair and put them.

As she was fitting the glove to her left hand, Law remerged from her bedroom in a pair of black skinny jeans and a tight fitted black tank top. Nothing fancy, but it was better than having him move around in his birthday suit. Cassie nodded to the sink and Law began the process that Cassie had completed just moments before.

Gathering from the commotion above her, she could guess that the patient was now on board and would be in the med room in a matter of seconds. Quickly rechecking that she had everything ready to go; the patient arrived just as law was fitting his last glove.

The patient looked bad. Rhiannon and Crimson brought him in and laid him carefully on the surgical table. They placed him face down as there appeared to be several large cuts on his back. He was naked with rope burns around his wrist indicating that he was restrained at some point.

"Captain, please take the incident book to Milah and get her fill in the statement about the condition of the patient when he was found, thank you?"

Rhiannon went to the shelf beside the recovery beds and pulled down a red leather bound book. This book was filled of details of every medical incident that the ship has ever had. It was an important document for Cassie as it allowed her to gather and maintain an accurate medical history of her crew mates. Rhiannon was expressionless as she followed Cassie's orders. Cassie applied pressure to back to reduce the bleeding.

"This is bad. Really bad, Law. He looks like he's beaten, definitely mutilated. Fuck Law I'm surprised this guy still alive after all he's been through." Cassie looked at the man, if you could call him that; he looked like he had barely finished puberty. Cassie noticed the shallowness of his breathing; probably due to shock. This guy had it rough.

"He's going to need a blood transfusion Cassie. Where do you keep the blood kits?"

"Back cupboards; right is the testing kits, left is the fridge." As Law went to grab the blood type test kit, Cassie started to clean the wounds on the patients back. As she wiped the dry blood away she guessed that the wound was only two to three hours old, judging by the amount of clotting around the edges. The cuts themselves would require stiches but that's not what concerned Cassie the most. What concerned Cassie was that when the wounds heal, the scars they would leave the letters F, A, G across his lower back.

Cassie saw Rhiannon stroking her ribbon, this would result in more wounds but for now Cassie had to get blood into this guy.

Only after Law had finished testing his blood type and had given the patient the corresponding blood transplant did Cassie have the nerve to grab a rape kit out. Checking for signs that the patient had been sexually violated was always the worst part of any nurse's job. Dread was the only emotion left in the room when the evidence was found. There were traces of seamen within his rectum; along with several tears present that Cassie would be able to patch up.

"Hey Cassie you okay?"

"There is one sever tear along the rectal wall, but by the way it's clotted it's probably been there since the first initial penetration. This allowed for enough blood to flow and sufficiently lubricate his anus and prevent any further major damage to his rectum." Cassie dodged the question. "At least this happened at night or would have been contending with heat stroke or dehydration as well as blood loss. Thank Kami for small mercies hah." Her laugh was dry but it was allowed to be.

Law looked at the women standing next to him. He had known Cassie back before she had become a pirate, a Marine even. And he still couldn't believe that after all she had been through, she was still able to remain as cool as ever in these types of situations. That was one of the many reasons he liked Cassie. Ever since they meet nearly 10 years ago; back when he was first placed in the medical room of her father's ship. Not that any of that needed to be relived right now.

Once Cassie had finished with the rape kit, she manipulated the air to raise the patient off the surgical table and on to one of the recovery beds. The first thing she noticed was that his breathing had deepened and even out indicating that he was now sleeping. The next was the large bruises growing on his arms and legs. Either it was due to the beating or the abuse she couldn't tell. It was probably a mixture of both.

Law checked the blood bag to see how much blood remained.

"Do you think he'll need another?"

"No, he lost some blood, enough for the transplant yes, but other than that his wounds aren't that severe. Just give him some fluids through the IV and we'll deal with rest when he wakes up, okay?"

"Does this mean we can get back to bed now? I'm sure I didn't see you put any underwear on before dashing out in that very sexy outfit." Law inquired as both he and Cassie made their over to the sink to remove their gloves and clean up.

Cassie shot Law a glare before turning her attention to the door. Not two seconds later Crimson enter the room flowed closely by Penguin and Sachi. Crimson was carrying the incident book as well as a very stacked plate of food. Penguin and Sachi where both carrying stuff as well, but Cassie was more interested in the food.

"Here ya go Cassie; I thought you might be hungry after tonight's excitements." Crimson none to discreetly wiggle her eyebrows.

"Piss off." Cassie stated before Cassie greatly received the plate and book.

In the background Cassie noticed the large grins that were plastered on Penguin's and Sachi's faces. Within their hands there appeared to be clothes.

Their attention turned to their Captain who was leaning against the sink, his tattooed arms across his chest, waiting.

"Oh Captain are you alright." Penguin asked with mock concern for their Captain.

Law raised his eyebrow at his crewmates wondering what they were playing at.

"Yeah Captain. We would have been over sooner if only we had known the extent of the nose bleed you had." added Sachi, the grin getting wider with every second.

"Yeah especially since you had to spend so long in the med room getting treatment right." Penguin continued, now trying to supress his budding giggles.

"For your information, I was having sex with this lovely woman in front of you." Law smirked at his crewmates studying their faces. The reaction he got was not what he was expected.

Penguin's and Sachi's grins stayed in place.

"We are aware of that Captain but we were concerned that you left the sub in nothing but a towel. So we decided to bring some clothes over." Sachi stated moving across to where was and handing him his usual attire. Law looked over the clothes and approved of the garments given to him by his comrades. He even noticed they had brought over his favourite white and brown spotted beanie.

"But, because of the time we decided that it would be best for you if you stayed over here for the rest of the night—"

"Where are you going with this?"

"So we decided to bring your favourite pyjamas over." With that Penguin reviled a giant, black onesie with a large yellow picture of the Heart Pirates Jolly Rodger in the centre of the chest.

Crimson laughed out loud when she saw the onesie. Fair enough Cassie thought; it was large enough to it and average adult male. But Cassie didn't laugh until she saw the look on Law's face proving that it was in fact his onesie. The look on Law's face was priceless; his eyes where open wide and his mouth was open slightly agape in disbelief. How could his crewmates embarrass him like this?

"But how can we forget that you can't go to sleep without Mr. Lamby right." That's when Penguin decided to chuck a stuffed toy lamb through the air towards Law before taking off in sprint out of the med room door a to hide for the next several hours.

Law dropped his clothes to catch the lamb. He held it for several seconds before turning his head slightly towards Sachi, who was standing there speechless.

"Did you know about this?" his face was dark. His voice quiet.

"P-p'js? yes. The toy? N-no sir." Sachi stuttered.

"Good. Now leave. We'll discuss this in the morning. Night Sachi."

"Night Captain."

"I think you should leave also Crimson. And don't tell anyone about what you saw tonight, 'kay. But do tell the others that the patient is alive though. I'm sure they will want to know." Cassie voice was low and full of concern. "Also feel free to comfort Sachi I'm sure he'll need it." She gave crimson a reassuring smile.

Crimson nodded before exiting the room with a quite good night before she went to inform the Captain of the patient's condition.

Cassie and Law stood in silence for a whole minute before picked up his clothes and moved towards the trap door of Cassie's room. Cassie decided that the blood could be cleaned up later in the morning and followed after him.

Once down in the room she saw Law sitting on the bed holding Mr. Lamby. It wasn't until she got closer that she saw the smirk that Law was wearing before he started laughing like a madman, that she realised what he had done.

"Did you see Sachi's face? He looked like I was going to disembowel someone right then and there." He told Cassie wiping the tears from his eyes.

"You sick son of a bitch Law." Cassie laughed as she smacked Law up the side of head. "I knew you had a warped sense of humour but that just plain mean. Your crew mates are absolutely shitting themselves right now. Especially Sachi, he's probably worrying his nuts off right about now."

"I know right. He's probably stirring up Penguin right as we speak." Cassie nodded.

They both laughed. Law stopped on closer examination of 'Mr Lamby'.

"Strange he doesn't normally wear a ribbon around his neck… THAT SICK BITCH!"

On removal of the white ribbon there was a very thin scroll of black writing.

"Hey Law. Here is your Lamby, feel free to bang my first mate anytime just keep the noise down.

Love Rhiannon

P.S. Cassie What does "Yes big daddy, like that!" mean?

A blush spread across Cassie's face as she read the ribbon.

"I can't believe she heard that"." Cassie whispered to herself.

"I can." Sniggered Law as leaned in and started to nibble on Cassie's neck. "And I bet I can make you say it again." He breathed seductively against Cassie's neck.

"That sounds like a challenge Mr Trafalgar. Are you sure you're up to it?"

With that she climbed into bed pulling Law with her; forgetting all that occurred during that evening just for the moment.
