Chapter 6: Old Friend

Unexpected. That is what Rob Lucci would describe how unplanned this anomaly that was supposed to be coming. He tuned into what Iceberg was saying, something about one of his old friends visiting today. His face remained stoic as he listened. He glanced to the side to see Kaku had a surprised look in his eyes. They shared a glance.

"Maa~ Please be kind to my old friend, she has helped me a lot throughout the years. She and I would appreciate it." Iceberg stated before turning to hear his name being called by someone new.

Lucci turned his eyes and glanced briefly at the noise. Standing there was a girl not much older than them, a person with bright pink hair. She smiled widely at all of them and walked toward them in a fast manner.

"Iceberg! It's really nice to see you!" the girl exclaimed, excited to see one of her old friends again. She turned and smiled toward the rest of us.

"Hello! My name is Haruno Sakura, it's nice to meet you all."

The first one to speak, to no surprise, was Paulie who had sputtered in embarrassment. Lucci looked at the man with bored eyes, expecting the same speech as all the others.

"You! Cover yourself!? This is a work place for men, we don't need anyone dressed like that here to distract us!" He rambled with a blush.

Sakura looked surprised at Paulie and then laughed. Lucci narrowed his eyes slightly, that was a first for him. He did not think her reaction would have been something like that. She smiled at him which made Paulie even more embarrassed.

"I think I'm dressed very fine, thank you very much." She winked in Paulie's direction and he choked. He started rambling on and shouting at this new person. Sakura turned and ignored him in favor of meeting the other two shipwrights standing by. She smiled at them.

Kaku was the first to actually introduce himself to the woman. She smiled and shook his hand and then turned to Lucci expecting him to talk. Lucci remained silent until Hatori spoke for him.

"My name is Rob Lu- I mean I am Hatori and the man's name is Rob Lucci. Nice to meet you. Coo~" Hatori said and surprised her. She smiled at them and said it was nice to meet them to. Sakura turned to face Iceberg as he called her and Lucci got a whiff of her scent. Lucci could tell that she was some sort of herb specialist and then he got the scent of catnip. He almost lost his composure but his eyes became slits as he smelled it.

Sakura glanced at him and they shared a look. A secretive smile etched a way on her face and her eyes narrowed slightly. She whispered something only he caught.

"Well, well who knew there was a kitty here."

Lucci growled softly and glared at the pink haired girl. She was playing a dangerous game.

I don't know, why don't you tell me. I was thinking Kaku to kind of do a two part thing but whoever you guys want.
