Rei arrived at the little cottage, holding on to a gift that she got her sister, since it was her birthday and all. As she approached the front door, she was stopped bye two of her little bird friends who said hi earlier this morning.

don't go inside! said one of them,

Why? Did something happen to Fuyu…? Rei replied to them.

Well… said the other.

The birds stared at each other, then back at Rei. She walked passed them, as the used their beaks to pull her back. But Rei didn't stop. She opened the door, and walked to her sister's room. Just when she was about to turn the door knob, she heard voices from the inside.

"we gotta stop. Sissy will be coming soon." it was Fuyu's voice. Rei heard some grunting noises.

"alright fine…" it was Tetsuo's voice!

"if my sister ever finds out about this…" Fuyu said. Find out what…? she thought.

"don't worry, she won't. And she never will…" he said to Fuyu. Rei busted through the door in anger and confusion. Her sister and her boyfriend was hiding something from her, as she stepped in, she yelled,

"I will never know, what?!" Rei found the two in Fuyu's bed, all butt naked, as they stared at her in shock. Rei stood there, with out saying a word. She was angry, she was confused, and most of all, she was disappointed at both of them.

"Rei! It's not what it looks like!" Tetsuo got up, and covered his lower half with the covers. Rei and Tetsuo loved each other, but they never went as far as to sleeping with each other. Rei wanted a clean, simple relationship. Didn't want to get into sex that quickly, and here she thought that all this time, Tetsuo was being patient.

"you lied to me…" she told the both of them. She was going to leave.

"let me explain!" Tetsuo grabbed her by the arm, but she pulled away.

"what is there to explain?! That all this time my sister wasn't ill?!" she pointed over to Fuyu who looked totally healthy.

"or the fact that my boyfriend is sleeping with her behind my back?!" she walked out of the room.

"there's more to it than that! Just let us explain!" he yelled.

"There is nothing to explain! Just go back and do your business!" she threw Fuyu's gift at Tetsuo.

"And tell her I said Happy Birthday!" she rushed out the door.

"Rei, wait!" without a second thought of turning back to face him, she flew away. the two birds flew after her too.

Again, Law went back outside to admire the beautiful stars and the full moon. He took a deep breath, and inhaled all of nature's fumes. Until he smelled cow manure. Then he just coughed. A huge gust of wind approached yet again. He saw Rei fly passed him, as he felt something wet on his cheek. He thought it was going to rain, but there was not a single cloud in the sky. Being curious, he licked the liquid. It tasted saltly, or maybe sweet. It had this familiar taste. It was tears. Rei was crying.

He ran in the direction Rei had passed through. Something went wrong, and he wants to find out what.

Rei hid in the one place where no one could ever think of finding her. In the middle of the forest, miles away from the villagers. In the middle of the forest, there was a small pond, with lilly pads, and fish, with little ducklings and their mother swimming around. It was really beautiful. Especially when the full moon shines down on them.

Rei sat down, and leaned against a rock next to the pond. She stuck her hand in the pond, making swirls in the water. Then she began to cry. Tears began to drip from her eyes. She buried her face in her knees, and wrapped her arms around them. Tetsuo, the only man she loved, the only man she thought of while working far away from home, lied to her. And her beloved sister, who she worked so hard for, who wasn't even ill, lied to her too.

The two birds perched them selves on each of her shoulders.

It's okay!

Don't cry! they flapped their wings as if they were to comfort her.

What was she supposed to do now…? Her sisters not ill, so she can quit her singing career. But if she does, her fans might get upset. Not just them, but her manager, who worked so hard to get her to the top. She felt like her life was a lie.

"something happen…?" Rei looked up, surprised to see Law standing in front of her the two birds in shock, flew away. He bent down and faced her, their faces were so close, it was like they were going to kiss.

Their eyes met. Law wrapped his arms around his legs like Rei did, and he cover part of his face, revealing a faint smile. Rei and him just looked at each other for a while, until Law wiped of her tears with his thumb. Rei blushed.

"mind telling me what happened…?" he smiled. Rei looked away.

"why should I tell you…?" Law stared at her for a second, then stood up and leaned against the other side of the rock Rei was leaning on.

"you don't have to tell me…" he smiled to himself. He looked up to the sky. The moon being so bright, as if it was a scene from a movie. the two birds came back. one bird perched on Law's head. He didn't budge. The other bird perched it self on Rei's hand, where she let it stand on her finger.

she lifted up the bird to where they made eye contact. the bird pecked at her nose as if to kiss her. Rei giggled, as the bird then cuddled her. There was silence between Law and Rei. Until Rei said,

"You know, my mother died when I was eight."

"I'm sorry to hear that…" Law replied in a calm voice.

"This was the place I ran to hide after my mother passed away. Not even my sister knows this place…"

Law didn't say anything.

"My sister wanted to be a singer. But she became ill. We didn't have very mush money to live by, so I had to take over a lot of jobs."

"…"

"when I was 14, I ran into my mom's best friend, who is now my manager. When I was 15, I dated my boyfriend and at the same time, my singing career started. It wasn't very big, but the villagers liked my songs. In 3 months, people from neighboring islands came to hear me sing. When I was 16, I became popular. That's how things started. Now I'm 19 and I still seem immature. Tetsuo, my EX-boyfriend agreed to look after my little sister, who was only two years younger than me. Life went perfectly for me, until what happened just now…"

"what happened…?" Law replied in curiosity.

"I found that my sister was perfectly fine. She wasn't ill at all. And I found her naked in bed with Tetsuo." Rei caught a lump in her throat.

"…"

"we argued for a moment, and then I flew off. And here I am talking to you…" Law didn't know what to say. The poor girl was lied to. By the person she loved, and my her own sister. There was silence again. No one said a word for about what seemed like 10 minutes.

"back when I offered to join my crew, you said you'd "love to" love to what…? Become part of my crew…? Law broke the silence. Rei was finding words to say.

"My mom was an independent women. She didn't speak about our dad much, but that didn't really matter. My mother was strong. Both mentally and physically. She was a fighter, and a pirate…"

"I think I know where this is going…" Law replied.

"mhmm. She would always tell my sister and I about her adventures out at sea. It was so cool the way she told us. I wanted to see it too. I wanted to..."

"…to become a pirate…" Law finished her sentence.

"yep. But Like I said, My sister was 'ill' so I couldn't pursue my dream…"

"I see…" Law scratched his little goatee.

"then you came, and I thought my dream to come true, but…"

"it didn't because you had to take care of your sister…" he finished her sentence again.

"mhmm…" Rei became quiet, then said,

"about that offer to join your crew… its still open right…?" Law grinned.

"yes…"
