Thread: One Piece: Exploring The New World (LadyAthene & Silverknight)

Captain Tashigi Whether Law was a pervert or not wasn't her concern, in all honesty. It was simple facts. He was still a human, still a man. And the same applied to Tashigi, save for the obvious difference in gender. Still, she couldn't deny another thought -- it was just another she wouldn't admit out loud. For someone who's been an annoying opponent against you, he's .... very hands -- Her head shook as the water lightly cascaded and danced down her body, slipping between every nook and cranny. Her eyes closed as she tilted her head back, allowing the warm liquid to easily find and wash her neck, along with everywhere else. I may not be a Divination expert but .... is this ... supposed to be a sign? What the hell else can it be? It's practically stamped on your forehead. Okay, smart ass. So what's it mean? .... That seemed to be as far as her inner tug-of-war argument went. Tashigi sighed as she leaned against the wall, mulling over the past few days. Would things be different if she'd tried to disobey Smoker? Well, duh! There's no way you'd be here or with Law .... Yet, something told her only half of that statement was definitely true. The location, no doubt, wouldn't be here. Alas, there was no guarantee that Law wouldn't somehow find her. He had an odd way of doing that finding and encountering the best and worst types of people. Such is the curse of those who bear the initial of the D's ... Which made it that much more ironic. She definitely didn't have that initial, that much Tashigi knew for sure. So why does it feel like someone has given you said initial anyway? she muttered, groaning softly as she gripped the soap and lathered a wash cloth up and starting to wash her skin. Starting from her face, Tashigi slowly made her way down, getting everywhere --- even the more sensual parts. ---- Due to becoming lost in thought and enjoying the water longer than usual, Tashigi didn't walk out until a bit later than usual. Ten minutes to be exact. Her hair was mostly dry, though a few strands did still have droplets of water falling from them every now and again. While she stood a few feet out of the doorway leading to the bathroom and contemplated on what to do next, an almost immediate reply was given to Tashigi. Yet it wasn't from Law or any verbal retort. Well, not a traditional one. Rather, it came from her midsection as her stomach growled. A bit of crimson quickly spread over her face. Her head turned as the captain attempted to hide her now blushing expression and went hurriedly into the kitchen. You ... you hungry, Law-san? If I can find something, I'll make dinner. Assuming, of course, he wanted a meal. But that was why she was asking, to avoid making the mistake of assuming he may or may not be. Regardless, she was and that was enough to make her begin rummaging through the cupboards. .... Whomever was here last had to live so ... there's something. Right? Hopefully. Because the thought of being forced to live with Law for one night was bad enough. To do so with almost nothing? That was horrible, god-awful an experience she definitely didn't wish to experience. Tashigi had endured enough 'bad days', one of which made her cringe to even recall. It came in the flashback of when Smoker had been in her body and actually exposed her chest. .... What an idiot of a superior officer I have sometimes. Really, who does that? Ugh ... Apparently, Smoker did. Her head shook as Tashigi continued searching, hoping to find something as opposed to nothing.
