I hope Zoro is not back yet... *Doors open* Shit

Zoro: Why wouldn't it be good that I am here?

Um.. No reason. * Tying not to meet his gaze*

Zoro: Sky! What are you posting.

Not anything of your consurn.

Zoro: give it here!

*Posting it fast* To late. R&R readers! *Trying to dodge his grip*

"Thank you..." I mumbled loud enough for him to hear. "You really did me a favor by telling them." I looked at him in the corner of my eye.

Zoro just nodded. He pulled out the feather and twirled it between his fingers.

"Shall I throw it overboard now that you are here?"

"Keep it. I gave it to you, didn't I? Besides.." I turned to him "that one is a special one."

He lifted an eyebrow "How so?"

I smirked "You can call it a spell. It resembles a Vivere card. The only difference is that it doesn't get smaller with the life force. You know the silver glow it have? When the glow becomes weak and the feather is almost totally black, then I am at the brink of death."

He looked at it with shock and then his face darkened.

"You could have told me this before! Then we would have find you much faster!" He turned and looked down at me. Our height difference was really annoying, I was a whole head lower than him. I straightened my back and looked him straight into his eyes. I tapped a finger on his bare chest.

"Now look here mister. It was a point that I didn't tell you. I went to leave you guys alone, to protect you. You were never supposed to look for me."

I let my hand fall to my side and turned to walk down to the lower deck. Just before I walked down the stairs I turned my head.

"But really Zoro, Are you so fond of me that you were desperate to get me back?"

He's face turned red, I wasn't sure if it was from anger or embarrassment, maybe both.

"Do you want to die?"

I snickered and winked at him "Not today Zoro." I heard him growl behind me when I went down the stairs and sat down between Luffy and an empty seat.

"C! Here!" cheered Luffy and put a cup with rum in my hands. I grinned at him and took the rum in one go.

"Second!" I yelled and shoot the cup in the air.

"You drink?" Zoro sat down beside me. I could see that he still was a little flustered.

"Of course I am! I am 20!" everyone looked at me in surprise.

"What?" I asked and drank more rum.

"You definitely doesn't look like it." Said Nami on the other side of the fire.

"What do you mean by that?" I eyed her suspiciously over the cup.

"Well you do look like you are 16." I choked the rum, Zoro patted me on the back til I could breath again. I stared at Nami.

"What?" she asked nervous.

I put a hand in front of my mouth so I wouldn't laugh, but that didn't last long.

"Pfft...hahaha!" I hold around my stomach.

"What!" Yelled Nami in confusion.

The other straw hats began to laugh with me. Not for the same reason. They laughed at my reaction to Namis answer. I was laying on the floor holding my stomach for laughing too much.

"Sorry! Sorry!" I laughed. I calmed down and wiped some tears from my eyes.

"It's just that everyone think that I look younger than I am, but you had the youngest yet." I giggled

"How is that funny!?" yelled Nami.

My face when blank. "I think it's funny."

Nami huffed and sat down again. A smile played on my lips.

"How cares how old you are! Let's make a toast for our new Nakama!" Yelled Luffy and raised his glass. Everyone else did the same.

"Cheers!"

"By the way C" said Franky after he had taking a gulp of his cola. "We have taken one of the small rooms on to ship and build it into your room. It something in there that is yours."

"Thank you." I smiled, I didn't feel comfortable on shearing bedroom with the other girls, yet. "What is in there?" I couldn't remember anything that belonged to me that I didn't take with me in the fire.

"It's a chest from the mayor. I don't know what's in it but it pretty heavy."

"I don't remember a chest."

"Well it's not so weird" say's Nami. I looked at her.

"The mayor have had it all this time. He kept it till the day you were ready I think. I have know idea why."

"Hm..." I gulped down some rum. 'Maybe I should look at it later'

"Well enough of that" I grinned and raised my cup. "Let's party!"

For whatever reason, we party to the sun raised. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper had passed out after the drinking contest they had between them, Nami and Robin had taken the night some hours after that.

Brook had played multiplies songs and were now laying on the floor with a snort bubble out of his nose. Franky had danced to his feet couldn't take any more and was laying some meters from the group snoring. Sanji had fallen asleep when the girls had said goodnight.

The only one awake know was Zoro and me. I was partly drunk and had a light flustered face. Zoro was fine and he still was drinking some sake.

"What are you?" I complained and waved my cup at him. "How are you not drunk? You have been drinking more than I have."

He smirked at me. "I'm just too strong to let any liquid bet me."

I huffed and got unsteady on my feet. I stumbled my way over to his napping spot where he was laying for the moment.

I lost my balance when I was some meter away. Before I hit the floor I felt something strong and safe catch me. It pulled me up so I was standing partly on my feet. I looked up and saw Zoro holding me up. He had light flustered cheeks.

"Ahh..." I gasped

He became redder. "What?"

"So you were drunk!" I giggled and poked him in the cheek.

"Oi.."

"What" I said innocently. He huffed and sat me down so I sat on my knees.

I looked confused at him. He just turned around to go back to his spot and sat down. He closed his eye, his face wasn't flustered any more.

I crawled over to his side and laid down on my belly. I was lying there just watching him sleeping. After some time I got really tired, maybe the after effects of being up all night.

I yawned and curled up like a cat with my back against his side. I closed my eyes and fell instantly asleep.

Zoro heard a yawn and felt something pressing against his side. He opened his eye to look what it was and saw C curled up like a cat with a peaceful sleeping face.

"Oi!"

He got no response. He sighted and watched her sleeping face. It was filled with innocence like a child. He couldn't believe that she was 20 when she looked like that.

"She have so many surprises" he sighed and got slowly up on his feet so he didn't wake her up.

He picked her up bridal style and walked to her new room. He opened the door quietly. In side it was a soft queen size bed, a desk and the chest. It was a small, round window over the desk.

He walked up to the bed and pulled the duvet of. He put C gently down and laid the duvet over her. He was just standing there for some seconds staring at her face. He shook his head.

When he was on his way out he heard a noise. He turned to C. She was mumbling something. He got closer.

"Don't...leave...hm...where... katana..."

'She must be dreaming' Zoro thought and looked around to find her katana. It wasn't there. 'It must be on the lower deck.'

He went out to look after it. It took him 5 minutes to find it. It was laying safely behind where she had been sitting by the fire-pit.

He picked it up and studied it.

"It's a good sword, I wonder what it name is."

He walked back to C's room. When he walked in C was sitting up in the bed confused.

"Ah.. Zoro! Where am I?" She hold her head and looked at him. Looked like the alcohol was kicking in.

"You are in your room."

"Ahh... that's right."She laid down on the bed. "I think I going to get a headache."

"You wasn't that drunk." Zoro said and sat down on the bed. Putting the katana up against the wall beside it. She smiled as thanks.

"I know, but alcohol can really get to me sometimes." she rubbed her forehead.

"I think you have to get some sleep. We was up to dawn."

She grinned at him "That's true."

She let her eyes close and relaxed. He got up on his feet and looked down on her again. He began to turn around to walk out, but something tugged him in his pants. He looked down and saw C's hand holding on. Her eyes was closed and she looked like she was asleep.

He sighed and sat down on the bed again. He was going to sit there awhile.

Zoro: WHAT...WAS...THAT!

C-calm down Zoro! It wasn't just my ideas! I got some help from my little sister!

Zoro: where is your sister then?

I-i think she is out of the country at the moment *phone rings* Shit!

Zoro: *grabs the phone before sky*

Give it back!

*Zoro opens the phone and put it on his ear*

Little sister: HI big sister! I have an grate idea for your story!

Zoro: *cold tone* Do you want to die?

Little sister: Um... bye! *hangs up*

Don't threaten her!

Zoro: I'm not done with you!

*Gulps* bye guys! *Escapes through the door with Zoro and his three swords after her*
