"Its time to go," Kuzan said after I had a lunch date with Ryu. My feline side had mellowed and my ears and tails were now hidden but my earrings stayed.
Jingling slightly as I turned my head toward him, "I'll be there in a second."
He nodded and left, Sengoku didnt speak but waved me off. I said goodbye to Ryu and brought Squishy Watson the snail to meet Kuzan.
Sakazuki had already called and said goodbye. So I got onto a ship with Smoker and Kuzan and off we set. Smoker and I chatted much to Kuzans dismay. Kuzan become grumpy for a while until he caught wind of a certain wanted poster.
Smiling, I asked him, "I heard a rumor... I can learn the language from the architect of his crew."
Kuzan smirked, "Let's check it out."
I chuckled, "Lets do it."
He made a bike of ice and began riding the waves away. I smiled and jogged after him. When I caught up, I hummed and simply just went along with whatever he was doing.
Every island we stopped at was fun until I remembered some thing, "Hey, I want to see the water train."
"Hm.. kay..," he said and yawned, "Bring me along."
"Mother fucker, I'm not allowed to use my items remember?" I said and looked at him like he was crazy.
"Ugh.... fine... Wait.. Is that..?" he said looking at a group of people on an island.
"Save the mortals, I'll go talk to her," I said and jogged off.
He froze the sea and saved the people before following after me. I had just reached near Robin and the straw hats, "Oi, I'll pay you to translate this outloud word for word."
"Er...? What?" she asked before seeing Kuzan and freaking out.
As she explained him to the others, they prepared to fight. I turned to Kuzan, "Yo, did you get all of them?"
He nodded, "Yeah.... Easy."
I nodded. Ussop whispered, "Are you sure it's this guy? He..."
"Dont finish that sentence," I growled and frowned angrily.
Kuzan smirked at me, "Justice through laziness..."
I deadpanned, "Its really a wonder how you and my dad became friends..."
He simply smiled and started fighting them, freezing Robin over. I shrugged and waited until they were done, Luffy faught as well. Kuzan shrugged, "Let's go..."
"Yeah, yeah. Ciao," I waved bye to them and left with Kuzan. We went to water 7 and played for a month, exploring the city as I got things and fulfilled tiny missions. One day I broke off from Kuzan so he could sleep.
I ran into a man with a bird. Neither of us could look away from each other. Damn, did I just find a long haired Mathew McConaughey? He smells like a feline.... Lucci? As he stepped toward me, I made my way toward him. My face inches from his, he smelled me and I smelled him. I could smell a few familiar scents but I ignored it to deal with this one.
My mouth went next to his left ear, "I dont like you."
His mouth next to my left ear, "I dont like you."
"I'm seeing the ship yard," I growled at him.
"I have my eyes on you," he growled.
"Which way are you going?" I hissed.
"The back of the yard. You?" he hissed back.
"The same," I huffed, "What do you want to do about this?"
"Stay where I can see you," he grumbled.
"No," I stated and we looked at each others eyes, barely apart from eachother.
"Then leave," he growled.
"I'll do what I want," I growled back.
"Luci!" someone yelled and we both snapped at them, "What?!"
Kuzan and a guy in a weird suit were standing there. Lucci and I looked at each other and glared before I sniffed him again, "Lucifer."
He sniffed me, "Lucci."
We continued glaring before walking toward the duo and saying together, "I dont like him."
Both looked at each other before chuckling a bit. Odd suit guy made a face, "Did you try to get along?"
Kuzan smiled, "No, Lucifer is grumpy."
"Lucci is rather grumpy too," odd suit guy said.
I leaned toward Lucci, "Can you believe them?"
"I know... Grab a beer?" Lucci said.
"I'm not one for beer. I have liquor. What's your poison?" I asked him, glaring at Kuzan.
"Brandy," he grumbled.
"Hm," I grunted, "Oi! Bye."
Lucci and I walked toward the back of the ship yard and as he showed me around, I handed over a bottle of regular brandy, "Smoke?"
He took a bottle and we lit up a smoke before sitting down. He grumbled, "I wont be in trouble if I blame you."
"Blame me if you want but I want compensation," I said and leaned back.
"What do you have in mind?" he asked.
"What say you to finding out tonight?" I smirked.
"What say you to finding out now?" he growled.
I growled back, "In front of everyone you work with? Sounds like fun to me."
He put out his smoke before putting the bottle of brandy down, "Let's go."
I put my smoke out and put my bottle of rum up, taking off my suit jacket. He followed, taking off his suit jacket and undid his shirt. I took my shirt off and we prepared to fight.
Our tails and ears out, hissing and crouched, we jumped at eachother. Biting, scratching, wrestling, and taking turns pinning eachother before I pinned him on the ground. My legs between his, my hands holding his arms above his head, I leaned down, "Is that it?"
He growled and bit my shoulder, hissing. I loosened my grip for the fun of it, letting him try again. Similar results. I had him pinned from behind, holding his wrists in one hand and his throat in the other, "I like this way much more."
"You win.." he grumbled.
I chuckled a bit and let him up, handing him a new bottle of brandy, "Here."
As we sat back down, I noticed a few people looking at us. I smirked and lit a smoke, putting my ears and tails away. Lucci leaned back, his back against mine, "Nice brandy."
"Thanks. Nice smokes," I said.
"Thanks," he said and we silently drank and smoked.
Kuzan and the other purple bastard sighed. Kuzan turned to the other guy, "Sorry~ hes aggressive."
The other guy shook his head, "So is he. My apologies."
"Well, I'm off to find food for Ryu," I said after finishing a bottle.
Lucci growled, "Who is Ryu?"
I grinned, "My boss's sexy secretary. Want to come be mine?"
He frowned, "If I cant work here anymore, I'll come find you."
"Good," I waved slightly and walked away, Kuzan shaking his head as he followed me.
When we got to the front, I glanced at the angry Kuzan, "I have something for you."
He raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"I'll give it to you later, go watch the show the straw hats are about to put on. I'll join you soon," I smirked and pointed at the area the ship will be at.
He smirked and nodded, waving as he walked away. I chuckled and shook my head, heading off to shop and get some food for Ryu to try. Coming across a blond chef roaming with a child, I followed them to a small restaurant ship and sat with them. The guy was startled and the child confused. I waved them down, "A chef and a child, why should I arrest you?"
The blond nodded a bit, I lit my smoke and sat back. Sanji, the blond chef, looked at me a bit, "Who are you?"
"Vice admiral Lucifer. Son of Admiral Akainu," I smiled at him.
Sanji had that spark of fear flash through his eyes, "What is a vice admiral and an admiral doing out here?"
"I'm on vacation, trying to learn a new language from your shipmate. Today I might have gotten a new secretary for when I return home," I said smugly.
"What's a secretary?" the little girl asked.
I chuckled a bit, "Its someone who helps you with daily life, work, and arranges things for you. It's like getting to boss someone around and make them do things."
Hearing my explanation the girl became excited, "I want a secretary!"
"Hahaha you better hope you dont need one. People have secretaries because they work too much and too hard. I'll tell you a secret, (whispering) this is the first vacation I've ever taken. Dont tell anybody," I smiled to the girl.
"You seem so gentle with kids... Do you have any?" Sanji asked curiously.
"Hahaha! Me? have kids? Oh, your a funny one chef! Oh, I'll have to tell Ryu about that one, Ah," I couldnt help laughing at the question, "I'd need to find a girl willing to even try to be with me. Somehow word got out about my personal business and they avoid me like the plague."
Sighing I ordered two plates of food. Sanji also ordered food for him and the kid. Curious, I asked, "Don't happen to know where she is, do you? Honestly, I was supposed to meet her when I was a kid so she could teach me but then the whole thing happened and well... it's the only language I dont know."
Sanji nodded a bit, "I've been keeping an eye out for her but no luck. She disappeared as soon as we got here."
"So that's why...," I grumbled, "Well this ones on me. Hey kid, be good alright?"
The kid nodded and I put the food in a container, waved goodbye and went to get some books. Of course I ran into Chopper, who tried to hide but messed up. I sighed, "This is a book store, please treat it as so."
He peeked at me as I bypassed people agilely and picked up a book, the next few ones in the series Ryu likes.... I grabbed a copy of all 12 books and bought them with a grin on my face. Chopper followed me silently to observe me.
I turned down a street and put the books up, smelling a familiar scent. I sought it out and found Zoro looking at swords... "Yo... swordsman, can I take a look at that blade a second?"
He turned and was about to start fighting, I cleared my throat, "This is a weapon shop not a demonstration field. I want to look at the sword, not fight you."
He hesitated but let me see it. My system scanned it and gave me the surprise of my life.
-Forged with a drop of ghoul blood-
I handed it back, "Damn, as I thought... If you want to control it, blood in mass amounts once a month or itll go crazy."
I looked at a few blades and found a nifty dagger set, picked it up, "How much?"
"5k a piece," shop keeper said smugly.
I tossed the money to him, "Thanks."
I left and went on my way, finding some injured kids... Giving first aid and sending them off, I noticed the light dimming and the part of town I was in. I grinned smelling a certain few people, one didnt notice the other three. I looked at the one, "Oh look who came back. Was it the brandy or did you like getting your ass handed to you?"
"Arent you a funny one," he growled.
"So fiesty tonight. Want to have another go?" I grinned as he came out of a shadow.
He growled, "I challenge you. Submit or die."
"Oh look at that, he even narrates for himself," I grinned, "Sorry sweetie but I wont be playing this time."
"So we have reached an impasse. Final drink?" he smirked.
"One for one," I held out a bottle and left a hand open. He passed a smoke and took the bottle. I opened my own bottle and we downed them before lighting our smokes.
"Any last words?" he smirked.
"Mhm. I met some interesting people lately, this one feline who's a 9," I grinned.
He froze for a second, "Who are you?"
I tossed my smoke, "Lucifer in every sense of the name."
He growled at me and took his suit jacket off again. I took mine off as well as my shirt, "Come."
As he jumped at me, I sidestepped and let him shift into a half feline. I smirked and let my ears and tails out, grabbing his throat this time, stopping him mid air. I see him down and let him go again.
Pinning him to the ground, my legs between his, holding his arms above his head with my hands I leaned down, "Now isnt this familiar?"
He growled and tried to break out. I allowed it. Pinning him to the ground, ass up, hands behind his back, I leaned forward, "This seems to be as well. Oh, you must be a pervert!"
He yelled and faught harder when I said that. This time I wasnt so nice when I pinned him. I had him against a wall, his legs around my waist, hands pinned above his head with one of my hands, while my other hand was kneading his butt. My mouth around his throat while he growled and tried to break out.
I bit harder until he stopped growling, knowing the amount of blood he lost, so I let go and licked the wounds. He glanced at me and grumbled, "I don't like you."
I smirked, "I don't like you either."
"Then leave my territory," he hissed.
"But we are having so much fun? Is it because I didnt embarrass you in front of your friends? Do you like being shamed?" I grinned.
"Luc!" two voices called out.
Both of our ears fell flat, we growled and met eyes with eachother. I grumbled, "Later?"
"Hm...," he grunted and I let him down.
"What do you want?" we asked.
"Sigh... Lucifer, we're busy," Kuzan sighed and grumbled.
"Lucci, we have work," purple suit guy said.
We both grumbled inaudible words as a reply before we traded a bottle for a smoke and went our seperate ways.
On our way back to our hotel, I yawned, "I'm too excited to sleep."
"Do something else," he said and looked at me.
"Okay. Are you busy?" I asked him and smirked.
He scoffed, "I'm going to sleep."
"I'd love to join," I teased.
He yawned, "No. Night."
He went to his hotel room, leaveing me outside my own. I grumbled, "You gonna keep following me even when your friend needs you?"
"Why arent you arresting us?" the reindeer asked.
I sighed before walking out of the hotel and smelling things. As I thought, Ussop is going to bleed out soon because they focused on me instead of anything else... I jogged slowly to find the poor sap and found a bloody body, barely alive.
As the others approached, I was sitting there with a vial and a bottle of rum, "I'll save him if you let her know later that I want to know the language and wont pursue your little group."
Sanji nodded, "We will tell her."
I nodded and poured the bottle down the guys throat. When he woke up, I was smiling down at him, "Morning sunshine."
He fainted. I chuckled, "He may flip shit if he finds out who I am. I'd love to see it.. Sigh.."
