Reunited

Law & Nami

Part One

Law grumbled as he tugged at the vest he was wearing as he and Nami stepped out of the back of the van they were riding in. They had just arrived at the Draco Mansion. After a long month of being servers at Bindy's family restaurant and living out in the forest, they were finally where they needed to be.

"Are you two ready?" Bindy said as they started to get all the food out of the vans. "And remember how your supposed to address them. Master Draco, Mistress Draco and Mistress Malinda."

"Yup," Nami nodded. "We'll address them properly. Right, Trafalgar?"

"Hn," Law frowned and narrowed his eyebrows. He didn't like having to address people with such respect like that. He was sick of biting his tongue with rude customers and really didn't want to deal with this prissy family they were getting ready to serve. But he knew it was necessary.

Nami sighed. "Just behave for Neo's sake."

Law's expression lightened at her name. He crossed his arms in a huff. He was so ready to get that shard and get the heck out this miserable place. He looked over at the forest and thought about their plan. The second they found the shard he was going to warp them out of the mansion and to the edge of the forest where they had left their weapons and their monkey.

After several minutes of getting everything together, they loaded their carts with the food and headed into the ballroom. Nami wheeled her cart closer to Law. "Keep it cool. We'll find the shard and be out of here in no ti-"

Nami's voice cut off when they entered into the ballroom. Her eyes widened as Law's narrowed. She gasped for air. "H-How…You have got to be kidding me!"

All of the walls were covered in mirrors. From wall to wall, from floor to the ceiling. Just about every inch of the mansion's walls were covered in mirrors of all shapes and sizes. Bindy walked back over to them. "What's wrong? Why are you just standing there staring?"

"What's with all these mirrors?" Nami asked, breathless.

"Oh, Mistress Draco as a bizarre obsession with mirrors," Bindy replied like it was nothing out of the ordinary. "They're all over the mansion."

"This is crazy! How in the world are we ever gonna fi-" Nami bit her lip.

"What's wrong?" Bindy asked.

"Nothing," Nami replied. "I'm just a bit shocked is all. I've never seen so many mirrors before."

"Okay," Bindy said slowly. "Let's just get to work."

"Right," Nami nodded as Bindy walked off from them.

"We'll just have to check all the ones we can," Law said. "Then we'll have to figure out a way to check the rest. At least the one we're looking for doesn't reflect anything. It still should be fairly easy to find it."

"I guess your right. But we're going to need to stay in the house to find it," Nami said. "And we won't be able to search for it while we have to serve these people."

"We'll think of something," Law said, but he wasn't sure he believed it. Along with all the guards outside there were several inside. It wasn't going to be easy to look for or find their shard while being waiters. They were going to need a way to wonder through the house without raising suspicions.

"Announcing Master and Mistress Draco!" The chamberlain shouted over the noise. The fancy dressed crowd's chatter was silenced when Master and Mistress Draco entered the room. "Thank you all for coming to celebrate this joyous occasion of officially presenting our lovely daughter into society," Master Draco boomed. He was fairly tall, board serpent. His scales were a dark blue and he had black hair. He was wearing a purple robe with a couple thin white striped down the middle of it and a large broach fastened at his neck.

"Yes, thank you all for coming," Mistress Draco greeting softer than her mate. She was wearing a purple velvet dress that matched her husband's robe. Her maroon hair was long, pulled back in a thick braid, and her scales were a dark pink. They stepped aside to allow the chamberlain announce their daughter.

"Announcing Mistress Malinda!" Two guards opened the double doors. A tall, slender young serpent stepped out. Her scales were a soft pink, her hair a few shades darker and her eyes a soft red. Her dress was white and shimmered in the lights. The crowd clapped as the younger boys in the crowd cheered and whistled.

"She seems very popular," Nami said while holding a round tray of food in her hand. She pulled her attention from Malinda and started to serve the guests their appetizers. A couple hours into the event, the festivities were broken up by the sound of glass breaking. People scattered as others wearing ninja like garb broke into the room. One of them grabbed Malinda.

"Ah! My baby! Someone save my baby!" Mistress Draco shrieked.

"Guards! Stop them!" Master Draco shouted.

"Now's our chance!" Law claimed as he dropped the tray he was holding and warped his and Nami's weapons into his hands.

"Our chance for what?" Nami asked as he threw her weather baton at her. He didn't answer her as he ran after the one who grabbed Malinda. "Hey!"

The guards of the Draco Mansion couldn't stand up to the ninjas. They were easily defeated as the kidnappers made their way out of the mansion. Law had warped himself out into the yard. When the ninjas saw him they froze. He waste no time in forming a Room and separating their body parts. Once the group of kidnappers were immobilized Nami struck them with a lightning bolt. Law sheathed his sword and walked over to Malinda. He paused when he noticed her expression was lacking in fear. In fact she was glaring at him.

"Malinda!" Mistress Draco cried as she and Master Draco came running up to them.

"Mama!" Malinda's expression changed. She became distressed and cried as her mother pulled her into a hug. "Mama, I was so frightened!"

"I know, my poor baby," Mistress Draco stroked her daughter's hair. "My poor sweet baby."

"Well, I don't know who you two are, but you sure know how to fight," Master Draco said as he walked up to Law and Nami. "I must insist you join my guard. We could really use you two like you to protect our daughter. Please? If you can protect my daughter like you just did I insure that you will be pay handsomely."

"We accept," Law nodded. Nami raised an eyebrow at him. That's what he meant by 'This was their chance'.

"Come back inside," Master Draco waved an arm towards the mansion. "I'll see to it that the captain of the guard sets you up with the proper attire and gives you a full tour of our property."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Mistress Draco smiled through her tears. "You have no idea how traumatizing this whole ordeal has been."

Mistress Draco helped her daughter stand up and they headed back inside the mansion. Bindy walked over to Law and Nami. "Wow. That was incredible. I know you two said you can fight, but WOW!"

"Sorry, we won't be able to work for you anymore," Nami said.

"Don't worry about it," Bindy waved her hand. "You've done more than enough for us. We won't have another event like this for a while. Besides, I'd take the job offer too."

The three headed back inside the mansion. When they stepped inside Master Draco was announcing that the party was over and everyone should go home. While things were getting cleaned up, the captain of the guard, which was Volos, took Nami and Law and gave them guard uniforms and showed around the mansion.

Later that night, while doing their rounds, Nami and Law searched for the shard. For the higher up mirrors, Nami created clouds. Law switched mirrors around. Some he put back in place others he left switched. He was getting agitated that it was taking so long to find the shard.

They walked into another room and jumped when a voice spoke to them from the darkness. "Looking for this?"

A light clicked on. Sitting in a high back chair was Malinda. She was holding a mirror in her hand that wasn't reflecting anything. It was their shard. Nami and Law moved to grab it from her. "Hold it!"

They froze when she pulled out a small rectangular box with a red button on its top. "One wrong move and I'll alert the entire house and tell them that you two are in fact thieves. I was wondering why you two kept looking at my mother's mirrors. It didn't take me too long to realize you were looking for a certain one. I assume this is the one you are looking for considering it's the only strange mirror my mother has."

"What do you want?" Nami asked.

"I want you to get me out of here," Malinda replied.

"What?" Nami gasped. "What do you mean?"

"You two foiled my escape plans earlier," Malinda waved the shard.

"That would explain why you weren't upset over being almost kidnapped," Law stated.

"What do you mean?" Nami looked at him.

"Before her parents arrived she wasn't upset at all over being kidnapped. If fact she was upset that we stop it from happening. She only turned on the water works when her parents arrived," Law explained. "All of these kidnapping attempt happened on her orders."

"But why?" Nami turned her eyes back to Malinda.

"You're a smart man. It was all for fun," Malinda shrugged. "This place is so boring. I'm tired of all the rules, dresses, makeup, balls…I want to have fun. I'm also responsible for Bindy's restaurant not about to keep people hired on. I was trying to stop that ridiculous ball my parents wanted. I can't have fun if I'm stuck behind these stupid walls. I want out of here. And you two are going to help me with that."

"You've got to be kidding!" Nami shouted.

"I know you can do it," Malinda pointed at Law. "You somehow were able to teleport weapons into your hands. I know those weapons weren't too close to the mansion. If they were the guards would have found them and confiscated them. I don't know who you people really are and I really don't care. If you want this shard then get me out of here. Do we have a deal?"

"Guess we don't have a choice," Nami said.

"Room," Law formed a room and warped them into the forest. Their monkey turned to look at them.

Malinda danced around. "Finally! Freedom!"

"Give us the shard," Law growled, holding out his hand.

"Very well," Malinda handed him the shard. "A deal is a deal. I'm finally free."

"What are you going to do now?" Nami asked.

"Those who attacked the mansion tonight are friends of mine," Malinda explained. "They might not have been able to handle you two, but they can handle everyone else here. Once they escape I'll meet up with them. Then, who knows? We'll travel all over! And when the Time Spheres start working again we'll leave this place. So, later!"

"She's crazy," Nami said as Malinda ran off. Law didn't hear her as he stared at the shard in his hand. The monkey clicked and chirped before the scenery around them faded away.

"Huh?" Nami lightly gasped when the forest disappeared and was replaced with a smaller one and a strangely shaped house.

"Hey, you made it!" Nami and Law turned when Sanji spoke to them.

"Sanji!" Nami smiled. "Wait. What's that thing hanging on your cheek?"

"Sanji cutie!" Celeste purred.

"Yeah, I'll explain later. It's kind of a long story. I think there's something more important that needs to be taken care of first," Sanji smiled at Law then turned back to the half way opened doors of the house just as Neo came bursting outside.

Neo paused as she stared at him. Her voice was low as she whispered his name. "Law."

Author's Notes: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't hate me for another stupid cliffhanger. This one I actually did it on purpose considering the conversation Neo is going to have to have with Law. It'll be longer and well worth the wait. Promise. :)
