Suta sat up with a start when the ship collided. With what, she did not know. She ran outside to see the crew looking over the railing to see what they crashed into. She ran over by Luffy and looked over to see land. It was a beach of beautiful white sand, followed by brown dirt with green plants growing everywhere. The island looked deserted.
Suta felt the excitement welling up inside her. Luffy was already dancing around, yelling, "ADVENTURE!!" Suta giggled, then started dancing with Luffy. They were low on supplies, and it was about time they got to an island. Luffy and Suta had eaten almost all of the meat. It was a miracle that they hadn't already eaten all of it.
Luffy jumped off, ignoring Nami's cries about not getting lost. Zoro grunted and leapt off as well, followed by a winged De-Ji. Suta jumped off, and looked around. She felt her heartbeat quicken when she did not see Luffy.
"LUFFY!!" she screamed to unhearing ears. They all looked around, shrugged then walked off. They knew he could take care of himself, and he would find his way back eventually. Suta felt her cheeks wetten. 'strange...' she thought, and looked at the clear blue sky.
"no rain?" she asked herself, then realized tears were streaming steadily out of her blue eyes, which were beginning to search for Luffy again. She ran off in a random direction, the tears creating a trail behind her.
A rustle to her right. She stopped. Slowly moving her head in the direction of the bush that made the rustle, her heart started beating faster and faster. A frog jumped out. She sighed, then kept running.
She heard laughing. It was Luffy's laugh! But she couldn't tell where it was coming from. She stood still, looking all around trying to find the direction of the laugh. Suddenly, she realized that she was lost. She grew scared. She wouldn't be able to find her way back! An animal might find her.. maybe a carnivore!
She shivered, then started running again, but something collided into her side. Luffy laughed as they crashed into the ground. Suta started crying again, still a little scared and from relief as well. Luffy stopped laughing and watched the tears water the bush that they landed on.
"uh... Suta?" he asked nervously. She looked up, her blue eyes now red and puffy. Luffy trusted his intuition and reached up a hand to wipe away a tear.
"I will always protect and take care of you," He said comfortingly. He was surprised at himself, because he had never done this before. Suta smiled. He smiled too, and leaned in close to her.
"You promise?" she asked.
"promise." he answered, then kissed away her fears.
