Tsukiko held her side as four big marines were surrounding her. "Come on little kitty, play." Tsukiko snarled at the man and gripped her kusarigama before falling flat on her stomach to avoid a bullet, she flipped on her back before kicking off one mans legs and using the curve of her blade to cut the achilles on the man who shot at her.
The blood sprayed on her face as she kicked another man in his face using the chains to wrap around his neck, cutting off his oxygen and she stabbed another. The man she was currently suffocating with the chains ripped the chains back, causing her to land on her butt. Her red eyes glowed in anger. "JUST DIE ALREADY." she screamed and stepped onto his chest, the sharp edges of the chains dug into his throat as he bleed out.
Tsukiko was so focused on him she forgot about the final man, he yelled a battle cry as he thrusted his sword into her shoulder blades, the blade coming out from her stomach. Her red eyes looked around, the world silent as she watched Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire screaming and running to her. Tsukiko fell to her knees as he pulled the blade from her.
A few moments later the man who stabbed her fell beside her, dead. She pressed her hands to her wound, pulling back with the crimson color coating her hands. Her lip quivered as she felt cold, she knew she was dying. As her eyes looked up, she saw the men she fought along side, fighting to get to her, yelling for her to stay with them. Her blood red eyes closed slowly as she fell to the ground, Kid's face full of and emotion she didn't think he was capable of, fear.
Tsukiko blinked, her eyes looking around where she was. When she tried to sit up she groaned in pain. "I would lay back down if I were you." a voice called out to her.
Tsukiko looked up to see Trafalger Law looking at her, his legs on a desk as he flipped through a medical book. "Where am I? Where is my crew?"
"Lay down." he spoke harshly, his grey eyes glaring at her.
"Answer my questions and I will." Tsukiko spat back, their eyes meeting and a silent battle.
"You're on my ship, I saved you." Law said looking at her. "Kid is on his ship, I told them I would care for you and call them once you woke up."
"Kid wouldn't let you just take me." Tsukiko narrowed her eyes at him. She watched his body language. He sat relaxed. If he had just kidnapped her, he would have to know Kid would come and shed everyones blood onboard to get her back.
"You're right." Law sighed. "I had to convince him to let me treat you or you would have died in his arms." His cold steel grey eyes looked at her. "Now please lay down and rest. Once you wake again, I'll call Kid."
Tsukiko nodded her head and obeyed him. Her eyes closing and sleep consuming her. Trafalger Law watched the woman sleep. He tried to see if Kid marked her in any way to see if she was a slave of some sort. The only mark she had was one that was covered in scars and hardly visible to make out over the scar tissue. It was healed like it happened years ago. He promised Kid's first mate, Killer, he would call them once she woke up and they would meet to get their fallen companion. "Captain."
Law's eyes glanced over at where Bepo was standing. Law hummed in response and got up, leaving the woman to rest. "What is it?"
"The Kid Pirates, they are following us, should we submerge under water?"
Law smirked, he took a liking of the green haired woman, she was an amazing fighter and when she was stabbed, all men on the crew stopped and ran to her in panic. She meant something to them, he wanted to see how much. "Yes, let's dive into the water."
An hour later the transponder snail rung. "Hello?" Sachi answered the phone when Law told him to. The fear evident in his voice.
"Trafalger!" a voice shouted. "Where the hell do you think you're going with MY crewmate?"
"Eustass-ya." Law chuckled "It seems you treasure this woman, just how much?"
"Look Law, just give us back Tsukiko. I'm not responsible for anything my captain does." Another voice rang out. Killer.
Law smirked. "She's very, very pretty you know."
The line was silent. Law's smirk grew. "She's also very deadly." Killer's voice rang out with a chuckle. "You see, we know her better than anyone. She's very intelligent, she can be sneaky and when she wants, she can be the devil himself."
Law jumped when Sachi screamed and a blade held to his throat.The green haired woman stood behind Sachi, her red eyes almost glowing bright red. "Bring this thing up and take me back to my crew or he DIES." Tsukiko snarled, her wounds reopening with every movement.
"She'll slaughter your whole crew, bring her back to me." Kid snarled
Law smirked. "To you? Is there a romance there? It would be hilarious to see the headlines Eustass Kid's lover dies at the hands of Trafalger Law."
Law frowned when Tsukiko didn't blush or looked surprised. "My captain is simply that. MY. CAPTAIN." Tsukiko said. "NOW TAKE ME UP!" she shouted as her blade cut into his crewmates throat.
"Fine." He said nodding to Bepo. "We will be up within the hour."
"If not, sink the damn ship Kid." Tsukiko said glaring at Law as she let the man go. She walked out of the room, Law following her. "What do you want?"
"I need to look at your wounds." He said grabbing her arm. "I told you to rest."
Tsukiko ripped her arm away. "NO. I'll rest when I am on MY fucking ship. Not your tin piece of shit."
"At least let me tend to your wounds." Law said looking into her eyes. Her red eyes glared at him as she raised an eyebrow at his softened expression. "I won't put you under. It'll hurt but you can watch me the whole time."
Tsukiko nodded. "Fine."
Ten minutes later Tsukiko laid on the table, her shirt rolled just below her breasts. Law had gloves on and a mask. "May I ask you questions?"
"Sure." Tsukiko sighed, yet again rolling her eyes. Something about Law just annoyed her.
"Where did you get this?" Law asked as he grazed over the scared marking on her right hipbone.
"It was a slave mark, I escaped him. Killed him. Then tried to erase everything from it which consisted of trying to carve it off of me." Tsukiko bit her lip when he took the stitches out, her skin felt like it was on fire as he poured something on her wound.
"How did you meet Silver Rayleigh?" He asked remembering they interacted at the auction house.
"He saved me from slavery." she replied simply.
"How old are you?" Tsukiko glared at him. "It's for medical purposes." Law started.
"Twenty."
Law hummed and kept working. "Why did you join the Kid Pirates."
"Why all the questions?" Tsukiko shot back. After what he did, she didn't trust him.
"Just trying to keep your mind off the pain." he said looking at her. "You're digging your nails into her palms, I know it hurts." Law started looking at her. "So why the Kid Pirates?"
"Small town, didn't accept me. They came in as I killed a bunch of bandits in a bar, Kid liked me and asked me to join." She replied, rolling her eyes and wincing when he started putting the new stitches in. "So am I going to have to go see anther doctor to get these out?"
"I'm sure Killer knows how, he said he's your ships doctor." Law said looking at her, wrapping her abdomen in gauze.
Tsukiko nodded. "Thank you." Tsukiko said as he helped her up, he handed her a few items and instructed her how to clean it.
"If you need anything, Please give me a call, you'll have a number to reach me at with my transponder snail." Law said as Bepo announced they were reaching the surface. "Medical and non-medical." Law smirked
"Are you hitting on me?" Tsukiko snorted at him, rolling her eyes.
"No, just simply telling you that the Kid pirates aren't the only pirates to chose from." Law said smirking as he walked out. Tsukiko winced as she walked behind the doctor. Her shirt in her arms as it was bloody and cut up. she only wore her shorts and boots. Her chest was bandaged up along with her stomach. Law opened the door to the outside, Tsukiko held her hand up from the sun as it blinded her.
"Tsukiko!" the woman looked over and saw Heat and Killer looking at her, relief in their faces. Tsukiko gave a small smile as she saw Kid on the ship, her arms crossed and an unhappy expression when he looked at Law. "I'm alright. Let's go." Killer wasted no time in discarding his shirt to throw over her shoulders so she was shielded from the perverts on Law's crew.
Just as Tsukiko was getting on board Kid's ship Law called out to her. "Tsukiko-ya, remember the choices." Tsukiko paused, looking at him before flipping him off and letting Kid sweep her into his arms and gently setting her on deck.
"Thanks for helping Law, next time you kidnap me. I'll let Kid and Killer sink your hunk of junk. I can swim. You can't."
Killer and Kid helped her to her bed, Kid stayed behind when Killer said he was going to start breakfast. "I'm sorry." Tsukiko mumbled. "I feel like I am a damsel in destress.
"You aren't. I mean you ARE a pain in the ass, but you're worth it." Kid laughed as she struggled to get comfortable. Kid reached around her, their faces close as he tucked a pillow near he lower back. Tsukiko's eyes looked into Kid's amber eyes, she thought he moved closer to her, his eyes flickering to her lips for a second before he stood up. "Get some rest, you'll be on look out tomorrow night." Kid said before leaving her room.
Tsukiko rubbed her eyes, she felt so tired she was delusional. She didn't want Kid to kiss her, right?
