Heeey! You'll notice things have changed up, and I'm working on getting the updates done so I can keep writing the main story line. I've gotten pretty close to where the manga/anime are.

Lurching forward I felt something holding me back. Looking beside me, I saw a peaceful looking Trafalgar Law, sleeping. He wasn't wearing his usual frown, it took years off of his life looking like this. Hat placed on the desk next to the bed, I took the chance to look around from my half sitting position. The bed had to be a king, the desk next to it was large and papers, books, etc. were threw all about it. Two doors on the wall adjacent to that were shut, for the most part, the one slightly opened seemed to be a bathroom. The room overall was spacious even with the large desk, bed, and a bureau on the wall next to the door to the hall. It was then I realized this was the room I had woken up in yesterday.

Laying back down, I was dragged into Law's side. Turning over in his sleep to face me, I was squished against his naked chest. Mumbling something in his sleep he pulled me in tighter. Snuggling into the side of my neck, hiding his face I couldn't tell if he was truly awake. I had missed dinner last night, so I wasn't entirely sure if this was the weird punishment he had set for me. After he tangled his legs with mine I was sure that it wasn't while Law seemed to love my uneasiness he didn't appear to want to be touched either. He didn't really cross any lines when he did touch me. So full on embracing me didn't seem like a thing for him to do.

Wait, just how did I end up in here? Last thing I had done was watch the sea life outside of the window of that room. Damn it, I should have remembered where it was. I'm most definitely going to find out how to get there, I liked that room. Looking down at the sleeping man, I took in his bed head. Reaching a hand up to play with the soft fibers I felt the urge to smile. Law must have carried me back here. Then I felt the urge to punch him in the head when he squeezed just a bit to hard. I sighed, it wasn't like I was going to get out of his grasp while he was asleep so what could I do? Getting more sleep was an option, but then I'd have to settle for cuddling him back. I weighed my options in my head, after deciding I sighed again heavily.

Place my left hand under my head, I turned in that direction to hopefully get more rest. My right hand still in his hair as I adjusted myself better. My face was practically in his hair, but I couldn't find myself really caring all that much. I had been in this position before, Ace used to sleep like this. He liked holding me in my sleep so he would know where I was at all times. Law, however, seemed to take advantage of having bed mate and was refusing to let me go like his favorite stuff animal. He was substantially cooler than Ace was in his sleep, letting his ability slip through burning my clothes sometimes.

Law stirring caught my attention. Arms locking around me like a vice grip, body tensing like he was getting ready to strike. The grip was turning into something like suffocating as it almost cut off my air flow. It seemed more like he was readying himself for an attack rather than attacking, after a few moments. He was beginning to mutter stuff in his sleep that didn't make any sense, but I knew, Law was having a nightmare. Holding him closer to me, and wrapping both my legs around his I tried to comfort him. The noises started to die down, but I could feel his body temperature starting to heat up. At this rate, he would wake up and I don't think he'd want me to see him like this. I started humming, I might not actually sing all that often but I could carry a tune. Ace told me I had a soothing voice, for when he'd have his own nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night screaming. So, I did it like I used to with him.

His grip slacks slightly and I continued to hum the rest of the song that was sung to me when I was younger. Closing my eyes, I massaged his scalp while he returned to peaceful dreaming. The nightmare seeming to pass, but he didn't move himself from me. Deep breaths came from him and the noises all stopped. The room was filled with his even breathing and it was actually peaceful for me. This is how I was used to falling asleep. Someone else's breathing creating a lullaby, it was comforting to know that someone else was in the room. I didn't like sleeping alone, so on the island I never did get much sleep. Letting my hand slack a little bit I felt Law moving some but ignored it as I curled more into the warmth he gave and returned to the world of unconsciousness. This time it wasn't Ace that was carrying me through the brush, and the town wasn't set on fire.

When Law came to, he was ridiculously comfortable. The warm blankets and pillows almost seemed like they were comforting him as if they knew he was having trouble sleeping. It wasn't until he felt the blanket glide across a pant covered leg that he opened his eyes. Meeting his vision was the smooth lightly tanned skin of someone's neck. Tilting his head back, he remembered why someone else was in his bed. Her full lips were slightly parted as she was facing downwards to him. Long lashes settled over the top of her fragile cheek bones. The steady rise and fall of her chest just on top of his let him know that she was asleep. A hand in his hair slightly holding onto the strands of protein. His own hands were on her body as well. His right arm was holding her close to him while his left arm was coming around her back, almost touching her right breast. He was momentarily confused as to how they ended up like this.

When he had found her in the meeting room last night he was slightly surprised. He had expected her to wonder her way back to the galley or the infirmary at least. Not in the slightest chance did he thinking she would navigate down to the very bottom of the sub. Laying on her back while the lights from outside the sub made her look unearthly. Law had eyes, and he could see how beautiful she was in regular lighting, he wouldn't lie about it. But the soft bluish glow coming from the deep sea lights was something else. Her ever-present bun had all but been done away with. Long pastel colored hair flared out behind her almost like a halo, while the rest tumbled to the carpet floor. The hand under her shirt made it raise up and gave him a slight glance at her black lacey bra that he saw earlier. Her ridiculously short shorts left her long legs uncovered and he couldn't help but trail down them and back up. She was facing the couch, and her deep breaths made her chest fall up and down.

Walking over to her, he scooped her up in his arms. Frowning at how light she was in as he held her. Remembering that he set about looking for her after he noticed she skipped dinner, the frown grew. Missing a meal would not be tolerated anymore. She was a part of his crew, so now she had to be healthy at all costs. It was oblivious that she had gotten lost, but that was the point of bringing someone into this room. Letting them think they could easily navigate out, if a deal had gone wrong. Turning around away from the windows and their breathtaking views he made his way out of the dark room. Taking his time as he made the way back up to his room.

Long strides carried them throughout the sub quietly. Most of the crew was asleep, save for him and Jacob. He and Bepo took turns watching the navigation systems, seeing as how they were 3,000 feet under the sea. The currents were something that always needed to be watched. It had to be close to midnight and he knew that he wouldn't be getting any sleep soon. The girl in his arms started to turn slightly. Looking down he noticed the contorted look on her face. Seemingly to be struggling with something in her subconscious.

Crossing the threshold into his room, he gently placed her down on the bed. Turning away from her, he settled at the desk only two feet away to start charting some places on a map. Her even breathing filled the room, but it didn't unsettle him. Although it was an out of placed site to see someone in his bed. She was placed on the right hand side of the bed, seeing as he slept on the left. Turned on her side so she was facing him, the pained look on her face seemed to increase after an hour or so. Then she started to mumble in her sleep. Not paying any attention to it Law kept on charting until she said something legible.

"Ace..."

Snapping his attention back to her, he looked to see if she was awake. Noting the still pained look on her face he surmised that she wasn't. The familiar name however didn't come again throughout the mumbling she did. Placing down the pen he had been using he saw on a small clock on the desk that it was almost two am. If he was going to try and sleep, now was the best time he supposed. Shedding his sweatshirt and undershirt, he crossed the room to the bureau next to the door. Kicking off the boots, and socks he was wearing he replaced his jeans with some soft black flannel pants. All of the used items landing either by a hamper inside of it, as to not have them on the floor. He crossed the room after he turned off the light and crawled into bed. After placing Ana under the covers, he settled himself in for a night of sleepless rest.

Laying on his back he stopped moving as he felt her shift closer to him. With his right hand under his head, she took the spot next to him. Not quite touching him, but close enough to feel the heat radiating off of him. Hands balled up by her face, she seemed to be more at peace being closer to him. The pained look on her face almost fully gone as she scooched closer to him. One leg draped over his right one and she sighed contently. The tiny bit of contact soothed her completely, he resisted the urge to chuckle. Brushing some of the hair on her face away, he could feel how soft her skin was once again. Allowing himself, he caressed the skin on her face trailing form her temple to the tip of her chin. Letting his body fully relax he let his mind drift off into a sleepless night of nightmares.

So that was how Trafalgar Law found himself smirking this morning. The girl curled in his arms didn't like being touched but had willingly cuddled herself to him during the night. Maybe he should do away with the room he was preparing for her. If he was going to actually sleep with her here then she'd be staying. While she might not be happy with it, he'd somehow make this work. He chuckled at the thought then let it leave his mind, in the end, she'd be getting her own room. While his desk was slightly cluttered at the moment he particularly liked his things in a certain order. Shifting slightly so he could untangle himself from her, he didn't realize it would be so tedious. While she might be all soft from her skin to her curves, she had strength in her fragile looking hands. They kept their hold around him as he could feel his smirk grow at that, it did things to him.

Finally easing himself from the bed he crossed the room, the port hole giving him light. They must have surfaced sometime in the early morning. Grabbing two shirts, and his regular pants he turned to look at Ana. She was significantly shorter than him, so his jeans wouldn't fit her. A sudden memory of the crew trying to get him to swim caused him to remember the one single pair of shorts somewhere in his drawer. They were to small for him, and didn't want to return them and offend the crew.

After digging them out he walked over to the desk. Writing down instructions for her to ensure her compliance on her treatment. If she had missed breakfast the punishment would be applied as agreed upon. He willed away the thoughts of her not making it to breakfast on time, so he could relish in her temporary anger as she received her punishment. Her and that soft skin and soft curves of her. Walking into his own bathroom he quickly showered. Drying off his hair with the towel he was out and dressed in five minutes flat. Ana still asleep he sighed and left the room, quietly shutting the door after him.

The bed was cold when I woke up. Two meanings, one Law was a blanket hog and rolled away from me, or two he was up and at it already. Hesitantly reaching out I didn't feel him anywhere on the bed. Opening one blue eye I took in the room once again. The light coming through the porthole gave me an indication it was morning. Sitting up I saw some clothes on the desk next to the bed. Swinging my feet over the edge I curled my toes in the soft texture of the carpet. I took in the clothes first, a black and yellow shirt with the Heart Pirate's Jolly Roger, and light blue shorts. They both didn't look like they'd fit, maybe some alterations to the shorts and I'd be fine. Then I looked at the note.

Ana-ya

I left these clothes for you, take a shower it's the door on the left across the room. After which you are required to come down to the galley for breakfast. Oh, we stop serving it a little after 10. Hurry.

-Law

Glancing up to a small clock on the desk I almost froze in spot. It was 9:48 am. Oh shit. Grabbing the clothes, I quickly ran into the bathroom. I had about ten minutes to get in the galley so I could force down whatever Law was going to make me eat. Striping myself of my clothes I slightly cursed Alec even more seeing as how I didn't have any undergarments to change into. Turning the faucet, a couple times to see how it worked I jumped in even though the water was scolding hot. Taking some green body wash, I lathered it up and washed myself. I vaguely could smell mint as I let it wash my skin. He had shampoo, but no conditioner, something I'd have to grab myself from the next island we'd stop at. Whenever that was.

Turning the water off I grab a slightly damp black and yellow towel using it to dry off my body as I put my bra back on, and went commando in the shorts. Hair quickly pulled into a bun on top of my head I neatly placed my clothes under the bathroom sink, not knowing where else to put them. Hanging the towel where it once was, I turned off the lights and made the bed. Seeing as how I was the last one to leave it, then I was out the door. And I had never moved quite as quickly in my life than I was at this moment in time. Squeezing myself between the few members of the crew that I hadn't seen yet as I made a mad dash for the galley.

As soon as I crossed the threshold of the galley I heard last calls for breakfast. Smiling slightly I walked up to where we could select our food, only to hear a whistle in my direction. Turning around I saw Bepo and Law sitting at a table off to the side away from the rest of the crew. I also saw a plate of food already waiting for me. Frowning heavily at the captain I made my way over to them. Bepo seemed happy to see me so I gave him a smile as I approached the duo. Settling in next to Law I took a chance to see what he had selected for me. Two fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and orange juice. While it did look like something someone would regularly eat I felt my stomach churn at how much was on it. Taking a glimpse up at Law he was watching me with that amused look again.

"Problem Ana-ya?" That bastard had the balls to smirk at me.

"Yes, I don't particularly eat this much for breakfast, it's a shame to see it go to waste." I tried to say pleasantly from behind gritted teeth. I liked this fucker when he was sleeping.

"Nope, you'll be eating it all." I openly glared at him and he just smirked more at me. Opening my mouth to say something I felt him shove food in it. Almost choking on the buttery pancakes, I forced myself to eat them. The glare I gave him increased tenfold. "I told you that I'd force feed you if need be."

Snatching the fork away from the sadistic bastard I tried to finished my pancakes. Just after them my stomach was pleading for me to stop. I didn't possess the appetite that I used to back when I was younger. But for the sake of my pride I was going to finish it, because hell would freeze over before I let Trafalgar Law feed me. I felt like throwing up after the last bit of bacon went down the back of my throat. The glare I was giving Law would be enough to scare most sane people, but this bastard just looked so proud of himself.

"Good, now we have surfaced for the next couple days seeing as we'll be down for another 7 days." He relayed the information to the remaining crew members, who would no doubt spread it to the rest. Then turned his attention back to me briefly as he started to get up. "So, I'd suggest taking in the rays before we submerge later on tomorrow. Lunch will be served at 3:00. I expect you to be in this spot at the time."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as he took my empty plate away and walked with Bepo. The bear had chatted with me while I was eating, and I tried to reply back but the bastard would shut my mouth. Saying it wasn't polite to talk with my mouth full, earning a glare from me. The polar bear just kept happily talking as me and the captain were in a stare down. Only pausing to lean over and pat my back as I choked on some egg, the damn bastard put a hand on my upper thigh. Removing the appendage from my lap I increased my glare 1000 times over.

Jumping up from the table I made a dash to where the rest of the crew was heading. Bursting out of the sub's door, almost knocking it off the hinges I let my arms stretch towards the sun. The rest of the crew seemed to ignore my barging out as they continued with their talking and games. Scurrying over to Penguin and Shachi I looked down to see the game of poker they were playing. The latter was still recovering from his run in at the island but over all seemed like he was in good spirits. After watching them for a bit I asked to join. They were a little too excited for me to join them, initially, but after a couple hands, not so much.

"God damn it Ana-chan why are you so good at poker!" Shachi threw his three of a kind in as my royal flush came out. Penguin had a flush, but not a royal one so I took this one.

"I told you guys before, I used to play with some guys and had to learn." I laughed as Jacob took the cards back and shuffled them, he decided to join the game after a few hands. I had met Caleb, as well as Marcus and Keith. All of the men seemed so friendly, maybe it was the fact I was the only female or I was just new. I chalked it up to the former once since they could barely keep their eyes off me. When Law had told me, I was the first female I thought he was joking. Nope, definitely not joking.

Speaking of the devil reincarnated, he was nowhere to be seen. At first, he seemed like a nice person, I just didn't appreciate him getting into my personal space. He didn't seem unfriendly per say, just off put for ow I guess would be the best way to put it. Him getting close to me seemed to be like he enjoyed my unease at it. I wasn't particularly a fan of his at the moment, but the crew however seemed to make up for it in some ways.

They were nice and funny, something I could work with. Totally compatible, hell even Bepo was and he's a bear! Speaking of which, he was napping not too far away from us. I kept eyeing him, he looked too comfy, and I don't think I can resist anymore. Getting up from the game, not listening to the guys whining I made my way to the sleeping mammal. Propping myself up against him I tilted my head up to the sun. Law's dark shirt called the warm rays to me as I took them in. Legs spread apart and arms crossed over my chest I could feel myself nodding off.

"Ana-chan?" Stirring slightly, I opened my eyes, using a hand to block the bright light from the sun. Looking up once I adjusted I saw blue eyes behind glasses, oh Jacob. The slightly frown on his face didn't really bother me until I saw the others looking at me like that too.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Penguin and Shachi started to laugh. Jacob turned around and told them to shut up, before turning around and answering my question.

"You seemed to have gotten a sun burn, right on your cheeks." Placing my hands on my cheeks, sure enough they were tender. Aw, shit. The only place aloe cream would be is the infirmary. Where Law might be, and would no doubt scold me for this. It didn't seem like he took his crew being sick/injured so well, but only time would tell.

"What time is it!?" I quickly stood up, feeling woozy as the blood rushed to all the needed areas.

"Uh, its about 2:50..." Poor Penguin didn't get to finish the rest of his sentence as I bolted down into the sub.

I of course got lost as I took the wrong turn, but when I did manage to stumble into the galley the captain himself wasn't there. Throwing a fist in the air for my victory I sat in the spot that he had directed me to sit in. Guess who wasn't getting punishment? That's right this girl! To say I wait a long time was an understatement. No one rolled in until 3:30. Penguin and Shachi came over an sat in front of me. When I answered them why I was already here they laughed.

"Captain himself isn't here until this time." Shachi provided for me.

"Yeah, he probably just wanted to scare the shit out of you." Penguin added on as he laughed at my bright face.

"So, you two mean to say I could have gotten down here late, and enjoyed my nap. But didn't because Law is a fucking dick?" They both went silent and weren't looking at me anymore. So when a body slid in next to me, I deadpanned.

"I'm a what Ana-ya?" His voice was turned in my direction, and he was close enough for me to feel it on my neck. Scooting over a bit to put some needed distance between us I didn't make eye contact with him.

"So, what's for lunch?" I placed my right elbow on the table and rest my head in my hand. Still not acknowledging the captain to my left. I could feel the intense stare into the side of my head. Nope, not going to look...

"I guess, Chef made an assortment of sandwiches, ribs, mash potatoes, corn, and some curry and rice." Penguin seemed to be drooling at the mouth, no wait he actually was.

"That's wicked attractive Pen, you should ask girls out like that." His face got bright red as he dragged Shachi, who was laughing, to get some food. Leaving me and Law at the table. Fuck.

"Can I get my own food, or will you be selecting it for me again?" Still wasn't looking at him. But the chuckle I got from him made me wanna smack him upside the head.

"You may get your own food, I'm not a total dick Ana-ya." Standing up quickly I didn't even grace him with a response as I got my food. Cutting in where Penguin and Shachi were I smacked them upside the head for not letting me know that the captain was right behind me. Both just gave me sheepish smiles as they said it was out of fear of their own safety. Safety my ass, they wanted to see me get in trouble.

Grabbing a couple chicken salad sandwiches, some ribs, and lots of mash potatoes I made my way back to my table. Shachi and Penguin already there talking to Law, Bepo on the other side of him. Marcus and Caleb actually joined us too. Sitting down the table greeted me, like they haven't seen me all day, and continued to talk about the ship's maintenance. Something about turbines, and a combustion engine I think, or maybe it was pistons. I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you. I picked at my ribs, seeing as how I downed my sandwiches, and was waiting to feast on my mash potatoes. After setting the bone down, I started on them. And by the gods they had to of been heaven. Hearing laughter from beside me I looked at Law from the corner of my eye. He was covering his mouth slightly as he quietly chuckled to himself. Glaring at him I continued to merrily eat my starch.

After consuming the food, we all sat down for a bit just laughing and talking to each other. I got a million and one questions thrown my way from the guys, and Bepo. Asking where I was from, what type of ability I had, family. It all sounded like questions that Law had asked me, but then I realized, everyone who became a member here was asked those questions. The tenseness I felt in my body slowly started to melt. Answering some of their questions, but evading others skillfully.

"So, you don't know the name of the island you're from?" Marcus gave me a weird look.

"Nope, all I know is I was born the day of the summer solstice on a summer island. Apparently, it was a sign from the heavens to the elderly people." Chuckling to myself at the praise the older generations gave me as a child.

"And your siblings?" Caleb asked while cleaning his glasses. A moment passed as I considered the question.

"None blood related, but you know how to goes you end up with crewmates that are more like siblings." Leaning my head on my hand like earlier I started to think of fonder days. "Pops never liked when we fought with each other much, but Marco and Ace were never ending with the damn pranks. I swear 'Whitebeard' was his name cause of the white hairs he got from the crew acting like idiots."

The table was strangely quiet as I came back from la-la land to see that they were all staring at me. More like I had ten heads and they were trying to figure out why. It made me so uneasy as I looked around the table.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I could feel the slight pain of the sun burns I had gotten earlier but other than that I thought I cleaned my face well after the ribs.

"No, it's just that you were saying something about a possibly sailing with Whitebeard?" Penguin offered up again, and I frowned at him.

"Yeah, got my ass saved some years before meeting them. Ended up with them for a minute before I got put on that island." I said, realizing what and who I was talking about. I stood up as nonchalantly as I could, "I'm get some meditation in before dinner, so I'll catch ya'll then!"

Scurrying from the table and room, none of the guys seemed to really comprehend I left until I was down the hall. Holding onto the railings I propelled myself up to the next floor taking the stair three at a time. The slight pull in my hamstrings meant I needed to stretch thoroughly at some point in time. Can't be slacking now of all times aboard a pirate's sub. Something was wrong with that statement. Going down exactly 8 rooms from the stairs I opened it to find myself in Law's room. I didn't have a room to call my own so I'd have to put up with the bastard until I did. Hell, I didn't even wear shoes today, how the fuck did I not notice that?

Sighing to myself, I wondered over to the bathroom. Running the water in the tub I washed my feet, and they were dirty as hell. Making sure they were clean, and dry I made my way back to the room. The soft carpet felt great on my now hurting feet. Crawling under the covers of the bed I pulled a pillow from the left side of the bed to me. The covers irritated my sun burned cheeks a bit but it was nothing, I had dealt with worse. I didn't really feel it so, score for me. Cuddling the pillow, I couldn't help noticing how it smell of steel and mint...like a certain Dark Doctor.

Oh no, I was lost. The people were bustling all around me as I tried to navigate the port. Everyone was so much taller than me. No one would listen to me as I tried to ask for help. The crew I had been with for the past couple weeks would leave without me. I knew it was horrible of me, but I still couldn't remember any of their names. I know that a few were blond, and one of them had near black hair. Finally spotting a board, I remember the number that they were docked at.

Spinning on my heel, I ran for the sign only to be blocked by something. Rubbing my head slightly, I tilted my head back to look at the thing I ran into. It turned out to be a person, his amber eyes found my pale ones and stared at me hard for a moment.

"Oh, a kid." I could feel my annoyance raising at this.

"I'm not a kid, I'm looking for the pier number for my ship." Bumping into him on purpose, I wasn't surprised when he didn't budge.

"With that attitude, I bet they left you behind." He smirked down at me, while he was searching around the board for something as well.

"Good thing no one asked you." Finding the pier, and getting my bearings I took off while flipping the guy off.

People like him pissed me off, he was only a few years older than me. That made him just barely not a kid, an adolescent then in his own mind. That made me smile for half a second as I pushed by all sorts of people trying to get to my pier. When I finally reached the assigned number, I looked around to see that it was empty. The ship was gone. The weight of what happened settled over me in moments. I could see a small bag to the left, and knew by the purple color it was mine. It was the only thing I had carried with me since I started traveling around.

I could feel the tears that were stinging to come out. It was hurting to keep them in but I wasn't going to give those assholes the satisfaction of even one slipping. It wasn't the first time that I had been left behind but it was the first time that people who I thought accepted me did it. The hollow feeling in my chest wasn't comforting even if it was ever present most days. People were bustling by me, I knew I couldn't stay in this moment forever but I wasn't quite sure where I was going to go. I didn't have any destination in mind, if anything I wasn't really sure I had a way to achieve anything I wanted to do. How could I when I didn't even have a stable crew?

"Excuse me, are you alright?" Looking up I saw a woman. She had blond hair, and green eyes.

"My name's Celia, who are you?" The warm voice reminded me of Mama.

"I'm Ana..." I was cut off by my stomach growling. I hadn't eating breakfast this morning and it was noon now. Celia chuckled a bit and reached out a hand towards me.

"How about I fix you up something?" Looking between the hand and her, I slowly took it. We made our way back to a ship, and she cooked for me.

Meeting Celia had changed my life forever.

Alrighty then here is chapter six!
