Misaki POV

*Beep* *Beep * *Beep*

Ugh....turn it off....

I lazily pulled my hand from under the cotton covers and hit the metal box that was sounding loudly. The beeping continued despite how hard I whacked it.

What is wrong with this alarm clock!?

Wait....

My eyes flashed open as I looked around the room in confusion. The room resembled a hospital.

My right hand, which was neatly bandaged, rested on a dented heart monitor that recorded my vital signs.

Oh....guess that's why it wouldn't turn off.

The scent of disinfectant filled the air, and unlike Kid's wooden ship, the walls were bolted metal.

My brain thumped in my skull.....

How did I get here?

Hmm.....All I remember was Kid locking me in the brig and leaving me there to starve-

THAT ANNOYING BASTARD!!...

The thought of Kid made new anger well up inside me. I rapidly punched the mattress to vent my rage, ignoring the frequent jolts of pain that flashed up my hand.

"Why are you doing that Miss..." asked a calm voice.

I jumped as I realized there was a man in the shadows of the room. Okay...creepy much?

He was tan, with dark sunken eyes and two golden earrings dangling from his his sharp ears. He wore a yellow and black jacket that hugged his body, and a fluffy speckled cap pulled over his jet black hair.

"Who are you?" I asked suspiciously as I righted myself up in the bed.

"Trafalgar Law, Captain and Doctor of the Heart pirates, Miss" he replied while studying me.

"Don't call me Miss," I growled back, " My name is Misaki.."

"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Misaki.." Law said calmly.

I sighed in frustration...why can't pirate captains just call me Misaki!!

I noticed a smirk flash on Law's face, but it disappeared just as quickly. There was a long silence as we stared at each other. Finally I spoke. "So....Where am I?... Where's Kid?" I asked casually. I wasn't particularly worried about my safety or that bastard, but the thought of being in this unknown place made me feel ...uncomfortable.

"I captured you from Kid." Law stated evenly as he continued to sit there and watch me. Was I really that interesting?

Well at least I wasn't with the devil bastard any more...'Thank god!" I mumbled under my breath , " He was so annoying..."

Law's calculating expression didn't change, but I could tell he heard my comment , " So you aren't part of the Kid pirates?" he asked with a hint of confusion lined into his words.

"No way.." I replied quickly ", I was a prisoner..."

Law's eyes narrowed, filled with suspicion," You're not telling me something, Miss Misaki." he stated bluntly as he leaned towards me.

"There's nothing to tell," I said back tersely, " I was taken by the Kid Pirates and they were going to collect my bounty."

My words seemed to enter his ears and flow right out the other side. He shook his head, unconvinced," There's something special about you, Miss Misaki..." he said with a new coldness, his voice resonating deeply against the metal walls, "and I intend to find out."

For the first time I felt shivers crawl down my spine as I sensed a brooding animalistic spirit in those calculating eyes. Law seemed quite satisfied with my reaction. He flashed an icy smile before lazily getting up and walking out.

The heavy door was sealed and locked after he left. And the hospital room fell silent except for the distant beeping of the heart monitor that echoed wildly as it record my uneven heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Later)

I stayed in the room and stared at the various sharp and deadly medical equipment that hung from the walls.

The door clicked opened an hour later and a polar bear? walked in....

The polar bear was in an orange jump suit and was standing on two legs while holding a tray of food with his arms.

"Captain told me to bring food for Miss Misaki." he said.

I freaked out." You can talk!!!!"

"Yep, I'm Bepo," he said with a grin and then handed me the food.

The sweet aroma of fresh food mesmerized me....I hadn't eaten for like weeks....

I quickly forgot about the talking polar bear and stuffed my face.

After half an hour, I looked up to see Bepo, his mouth wide open, as he wore an almost disgusted look on his face .

"What!" I mumbled past food in my mouth.

"You eat a lot." he replied frankly.

"Hey!! No I don't!" I defended back, " it's just that pirates who captured me before locked me up in a room for two weeks and didn't bother to feed me!"

Bepo's eyes widened," Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, " I insisted quickly....then a thought flashed through my mind. "But do you know what would make me feel even better?' I asked innocently as I batted my eyelashes.

Bepo looked up eagerly," what is it? I'll get it for you!"

"A small boat and some money,"

Bepo thought for a moment and then smiled," The captain has one in the back! Come on, I'll show it to-"

"BEPO!"At that moment Law trudged in. His brow furrowed as he glared straight at Bepo. The polar bear immediately ran out of the room.

Then Law turned his glare to me.

"Hey can't blame a girl for trying." I shrugged.

Law sighed before returning to his expressionless face, and sitting down next to the door.

"So Miss Misaki, now that you've eaten, care to explain why the Kid pirates were so interested in you?"

Now it was my turn to sigh, " How many times do I have to tell you that Kid just wanted my bounty."

"You expect me to believe that?"

"Yes."

Law stood up, slowly raising a tattooed hand towards me. It looked like he was about to do something, but then the entire room shook. I watched as Law's eyes narrowed.

"Stay." he ordered to me as if I were a dog. Then he quickly walked out. Well...no way in hell am I listing to him...I dramatically jumped out of the bed and skipped out of the room..

My hand brushed against the metal walls as I walked down corridors and up a flight of stairs. As I opened the door I was greeted with a torrent of waves.

Brrrrr!! ....The icy water consumed me, sapping away at my body heat and completely soaking me from head to toe.

*CrACK* *FLASH*

Purple lightning streaked across the darkened sky. I shook my tangled and already soaked hair from my face and stared, wide-eyed, out at the violent ocean. The howling wind rattled the ship as I struggled to force my eyes open.

The deck looked strange, almost cylinder like.....then I realized.....it was a submarine!

At that moment, I noticed Bepo and a few other men in white jumpsuits running around the deck, screaming their heads off.

"What are you doing here?" questioned a monotone voice. I whipped to see Law standing behind me, his arms crossed .

I ignored his glare, " Why don't you send the sub below the water?! it's a huge storm!"

"We were going to do that, Miss Misaki, but our propeller is tangled in seaweed at the moment."

"Well...Why don't you go fix it then!" I shouted over the roaring winds.

"I can't....I'm a devil fruit user...water doesn't really agree with me..." he shrugged.

I sigh, taking another look at the rest of Law's crew freaking out....useless...at this rate, we would all die in this storm!

Damnit!! I can't die here! I just got my freedom back! My mind raced in search of a solution. I let out another frustrated sigh as i realized my only option....let's hope I'm rested enough....

I turned back to Law who was focusing intently on my expression, " Okay...How's about I save your sorry butt, and you let me go on the next island?!" I proposed.

Law contemplated about it, moving his head from side to side and then finally nodded.

My mind reached within me and I felt a familiar tingle encase my entire body. I let out an inner sigh of relief....Its working again.

I quickly gave Law a mocking salute before running to the side railing and leaping straight off. The wind continued to beat against my face and thread thought my hair as I drew my arms down to pierce the black waters.

The cold current engulfed me and my senses heighten as I enter the water. All other devil fruit users would have sunk to the bottom of the sea the moment they hit the water, but I was different.

My devil fruit shouldn't exist....it was an experiment..... The Mizu Mizu or Water Water fruit ....a devil fruit which the sea couldn't weaken....

I truly hated this 'gift'.

I pushed away my hatred and focused on the situation at hand. My mouth took in breaths, freely as if on land and I used the water to project me over to the propeller. A bundle of green mush was in the blades.

I sliced the water with my palm and the seaweed immediately dispersed.

The blade started to spin slowly then pick up speed. With that I gathered water at the soles of my feet and pushed upward. I shot out of the water and landed soaked on the deck.

A pair of arms held me and yanked me inside as the submarine sank below the waves.

A warm, fuzzy blanket covered my face the moment I entered. I removed it to see Law, Bepo and the rest of the crew staring at me...

"W-Well your w-w-elcome.." I mumbled with my teeth clattering.

Some members of the crew smiled, happy to be alive, others danced crazily . Law was expressionless as usual except for a slightly raised eyebrow.

I plopped down next to Bepo on a couch and cuddled into his fur to warm up. I felt the weight shift as another person sat next to me.

"I think I understand now Miss Misaki." said Law. He almost sounded amused. I looked into his calculating eyes and knew he had seen my Devil fruit.

"Kid doesn't know about it," I replied calmly.

"You don't have to lie Miss Misaki." Law stated...

I wasn't lying!!!

"Whatever," I crossly said there was no conniving him...,"but you're letting me go on the next Island anyway....... right?"

A glint came across Law's eyes, but then he just nodded.

I smiled, I was finally gonna be free of this mess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yay!! I love Law so much!

So do you guys think he's actually gonna let Misaki go?
