Rain shot up, sweating and shaking. Great, another nightmare. Nightmare=sleep-loss. She sighed. Looking to the bottom bunk, she stared. No one was there.
"Was it a dream?" She asked herself. Everyone else had gone back to there rooms, but Luffy was still supposed to be with her. She laid her head on her pillow, but it was sopping wet. She lifted it to find her unfinished soup and bread.
"Completely forgot that was there. Just how sleepy WAS I last night?" She pulled out her notebook. All the drawings were there. So it wasn't a dream. She had really met a bunch of morons who wanted her to join their crew. She sighed in relief.
"So where's Luffy?" She asked. She only had to think for a moment before slipping on her spruce boots and walking into the hallway.
"Cafeteria, Cafeteria," she hummed. She walked into the doors, and saw a sight she didn't expect to see. At all.
Standing in the middle of the large room was Sanji and Luffy, but Sanji was…kissing him? On…the neck? Rain snuck behind the chairs and tables, getting close to them as possible. It was then she realized what Sanji was doing. He was biting him.
Sanji released Luffy and muttered what sounded like,
"Sorry. Erase." Luffy then collapsed to the ground, snoring loudly. Sanji looked around, then walked out of the cafeteria. When she was sure Sanji was gone, Rain ran over to Luffy and started to shake him. He wasn't waking up soon. With all her might, she threw the unconscious Luffy over her shoulder and carried him back to their room.
Rain stared at the ceiling as she thought of what she had seen. Sanji was most definitely a vampire. But was that caused by the experiments? It had to be, seeing that they had said he was the chef of the crew. What's a chef that can't use garlic?
She wondered what he could do. There are many kind of vampire lore, so it made her think. Deep in her thoughts, however, she closed her eyes. She passed out, lack of sleep finally getting to the girl.
The Next Morning…
Rain made sure to get to the kitchen first. She sat on the counter stool, rested her head on her hand, and wondered why they were the only ones who actually came to the cafeteria. Yes, food was delivered to their rooms, but it seemed more people would get up and get seconds. Then again, most people here didn't have a person who could cook it. She sighed, pulling out her notebook and pencil.
"What to draw, what to draw." She thought for a moment, before deciding on the scene that occurred last night.
Half and hour later, Sanji walked into the room. Rain noted that it was before the sun had completely risen.
"Ah, Rain-san, your up early." said Sanji, yawning. He walked behind the bar and started preparing breakfast. While whisking the eggs, he glanced over at the notebook. "What are you drawing?" He asked, leaning over. Rain immediately covered it with her hand.
"Its… A surprise. It's not done yet." She lied. Sanji looked at her suspiciously, let out another yawn, and continued to whisk the eggs. Rain turned a couple pages to another unfinished drawing and started to finish one. She looked up.
"Sanji, you look a little pale. Do you feel alright?" She asked, trying to sound as believable as possible. Apparently it was enough. Sanji flinched, then said,
"Oh, I'm just tired, that's all. Thank you for being concerned, Rain-san." he continued to cook, but seemed to be nervous about something. Bingo. Rain thought. Now she had to keep breaking down his walls 'till he gives in, then he'll confess to everyone. But first…
"Hey, Sanji? Could I…" She ogled the food. "Never-mind, I-" He gave her a small plate of eggs. She looked up. He was smiling at her.
"Savor it, that's all you get."
"Thank you, Sanji!" She said before digging into her food.
