YO! Welcome back!
Luffy: Yo, Sky!
Hi, Luffy. Where is Robin and Zoro?
Luffy: They are taking a break.
Well, we are at the 9. chapter They desurv it. * Mumble* Not so sure about Zoro.
Luffy: what?
Nothing. I have a song in the middle of the story, feel free to listen. It's "Nightwish - Islander"
Luffy: Is it a good song?
I think so. But it's the readers opinion that counts now. Argh.. Stop asking so we can begin.
Luffy:*grins* Right! R&R.
Time I start doing this to. I don't own anything but C and middlepoint.
"You found her!"
"Yeah. We have given her anesthetic so she doesn't woke up, but it haven't taken full effect yet."
"Super idea!"
"Is Luffy, Sanji and Robin back yet?"
"Sanji is in the kitchen. Robin are out to look after Luffy."
"We have to go soon, before the anesthetic were of."
"Zoro! Lay her in the girls room so she doesn't woke up from the noise!"
I couldn't understand the words and everything around me was dark. I felt I was fighting something that was pulling me deeper into the black surroundings. I felt that I was moving steadily away from the noise. But some noise was louder even if I was away.
"Guys! We are back!"
"Be quiet Luffy. C is sleeping! We have to get the 'Coup de Burst' ready!"
"Yeah! We have to get as far away from here as possible."
"Did you get in trouble!?"
"Miss Navigator. He didn't. He..."
Before I could hear anymore the noise was cut of with a wall. I was close to lose consciousness, but I felt that I was placed on something soft. Something warm was taking away some hair in my face.
"Welcome back on board" a familiar voice, I couldn't place it, but I gave up fighting when I heard it. The darkness and comfortable feeling swallowed me completely.
To my confusion I woke up in a bed. The last thing I remembered was that I had fallen asleep by a stream. I growled and clutched my head. A conversation from that felt like a while ago formed itself in my memory.
"Luffy... Robin, Sanji, Nami... Zoro... What is going on? Anesthetic? WHAT!" I grabbed my Katana and run out the door. As expected I was on the Sunny. Luffy, Chopper and Usopp was goofing off on the lower deck, Brook playing music to entertain. Zoro was in his napping spot. Sanji, Nami and Robin was on the upper deck, Sanji serving the to girls with snacks.
"L.U.F.F.Y!" My voice was like a cold gust flying through the ship. Everyone froze in their act and turned slowly to see me walk in a fast pace towards Luffy.
"Hi C! You are awa..." I stopped him from speak any further with the tip of my katana to his throat. The evil aura swooning out of me. If look could kill, Luffy would be dead ten times now.
"What is the meaning of this, Captain?" When I said 'Captain' I had a dangerous, sweetly tone. He gulped. Chopper and Usopp had fled behind the mast for protection.
"If I call correctly I was on Middle Point, sleeping by a stream. Then, Captain, can you explain why the heck I am back on the Sunny, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA!" I yelled and waved my free hand in the air to show the blue sea that was in every direction.
He gulped again and hold his eyes on my blade that was resting on his throat. I heard Zoro get on his feet with his katanas in his hand.
"Stay out of this Z.O.R.O! You are the whole reason! I know it! But since Luffy is the Captain it was his orders! Right, Luffy?"
"Um... C?"
"WHAT!" I growled at Luffy.
"Can you please take the sword from my throat? It will be easier to speak."
"I don't want to hear excuses! I want to hear why I am on the ship!"
"You was kidnapped by us." I heard Zoro say behind me. "We wouldn't leave you alone."
I growled again and put my katana in the sheath. I sent an ugly look to everybody. I saved my worst to Luffy and Zoro.
"Don't follow me!" I growled and closed my eyes.
I felt my upper back heat up. I heard gasps when they saw that my back was on fire. After the wings was done growing, I flew up to the roof of the crows nest. I dismissed my wings after I got up there, I was going to sit there a while. I sat down on the middle and curled up into a ball, hugging my knees.
To Luffy, the sight of C getting wings was awesome. If he wasn't just scared to death by C, he would be loud and have stars in his eyes. He turned his head to Zoro. Was he imagining things or had his green swordsman a weak blush on his cheeks. Nah, he must have imagining it.
"That was unexpected." he heard Nami say from the upper deck. "I mean. We heard it from Zoro, right! But I couldn't expect that it was so beautiful and scary to watch it happen. They were totally black too."
"But why are she so mad?" Cried Chopper behind the mast peeking out.
"Well, it isn't that weird" said Zoro, he was looking up towards the crows nest "She did run away to protect us. Since we forced her back on the ship, despite her effort, I wouldn't see it as weird that she is mad."
"Maybe you are right... Wait! When did Zoro become understanding?"
"Do you want to die?"
It was evening and every straw hat had given up on to make C come down. The only one that hadn't tried was Luffy and Zoro. Luffy wanted to give her some space. He had taken her from her home against her will.
Zoro didn't want to talk to her after what she said. He agreed that it was his fault, it was him that told the crew what happened, but he was pretty sure that Luffy would give the order to get her anyway.
It was Luffy that suggested, before the night she left, that they should leave before she woke up the other morning so she couldn't leave. It wouldn't be so difficult since she practically sleep to noon, but she is a light sleeper. So she would woke up if it would be to much noise or movement on the ship.
Through the day had Franky build a firepit so know sat everyone around it on the bottom deck. The moon hadn't shown up yet, but the stars was as clear as day.
"Wow... It's beautiful." Said Nami in awe.
"Look a shooting star!" Shouted Chopper with stars in his eyes. "A wish! A wish!"
The others chuckled at the small doctor.
Suddenly Brook heard a quiet bump. He looked up at the figurehead and saw C standing with her back to them. He got up and when the others looked at him he put a skeletal finger to his teeth and pointed at C.
They looked and their eyes widen in surprise.
Before Luffy could yell her name, Nami and Usopp smacked their hands before his mouth.
"Ssssh!"
Everyone walked quietly up on the upper deck and stopped at the helm. C was humming as sad tune. Brook gathered some courage and walked up to her.
"Do you mind if I play with you?"
C turned her head and saw Brook. She had a blank face but nodded. She sat down on the top of the staircase with her face went to the others.
Brook got a acoustic guitar in his lap and began to play some tunes. When C began to sing It was a sad melody. She wasn't good but she wasn't bad either, her feelings was leaking out through the lyrics and made the song so much more.
"An old man by a seashore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face
Tempest tossed island, seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon light at the end of world
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears we left behind long ago
So long ago, so long ago
The albatross is flying, making him daydream
The time before he became one of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
Life gave him it all an island of the universe
Oh, now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water, seabed far below
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears we left behind so long ago
So long ago
So long ago
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears we left behind so long ago
So long ago"
While she was singing, the summer breeze began to blow softly and they could hear the waves ripple against the ship.
All this made the moment so much more magical. They could imagine their lost ones and the ones they left, before them. They could imagine their happy times. Nami 's eyes began to water. Franky was crying his eyes out.
The moment come to a sudden ending when C stopped singing. Her eyes and face was blank with no emotion whatsoever. She standed up and walked down the stairs that led up to the figurehead.
When she got down she got attacked by Nami, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper. They were hugging her to death.
"C! We are sorry! But we wouldn't want you to go!"
Sanji, Brook and Franky followed shortly after into the group hug Robin chuckled and followed. Zoro was standing there watching everything play out before him.
He watched C's face go from blank to a soft feeling in her eyes. He didn't get a long time to watch because Luffy had used his abilities and grabbed him by his shoulder. Luffy pulled Zoro into the hug, this caused everyone to fall over.
Everyone laughed their ass of. When everyone had calmed down and wiped the tears from their eyes. C said.
"I will forgive you, but don't expect me to be the nice guy. That goes for everyone." She glanced at the girls. "I want to stay at the ship, if that's okay Captain?" She turned to Luffy with a sly grin.
"OF COURSE!" He yelled "Welcome to the crew! Time to party!" everyone got up and ran down to the fire-pit. Sanji helped her up before he walked down.
She turned to the figurehead and saw the moon slowly rose over the sea. She turned around again and saw Zoro leaning at the railing with his face went to the loud crew at the lower deck.
Her face soften. She walked up to him and leaned to the railing beside him.
"Thank you..." she mumbled loud enough to him to hear. "You really did me a favor by telling them."
