A New Heart

Forgiven and Loved

Chi's POV:
I was pissed and horny. A combination of things that only furthered my agitation.
How could he just dismiss me! But thinking about it he'd been dismissing me all week. This was just the last straw.

I was walking down the street when I saw something that disturbed me. A man in an alley was yelling at a little boy.
I walked down the alley. "What are you doing?" I snarled.
The man was gross. He spun around and yelled at me. "Keep walking whore! This kid's gonna get it for shorting me."
My eyes widened at what he called me. This man chose the wrong day to scream at me. Well actually no one yells at me and lives unscarred.
I bit my lip and spat my blood in his face.
"Bastard" I sneered. "You will die now."
He wiped my blood from his face. "Fucking BITCH!" He pulled out a gun.
"Freeze" I said.
His face quickly turned scared. "Wha-what?! Why can't I move?!" He yelled.
I chuckled and walked over to him. "You should be more careful who you call a whore. It may be the last insult you say." I went behind him to the frightened boy. "Are you alright?" I asked.
He nodded.
I held out my hand and helped him up. I ushered him to the front of his frozen attacker.
"Apologize and I'll make you're death painless" I said factually.
"Fuck you whore!" He spat.
What a vile man.
I looked down to the little boy. "Do you know what ear muffs means?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"It means to cover your ears with your hands." I smiled. "Ear muffs please."
The little boy put his hands to his ears. I put my hand over his eyes and raised my other out to the soon to be dead man.
"Cripple" I snarled.
The man yelled a tortured growl as he fell to the ground.
"Needles" I spat.
Then the real tortured cries bellowed from his sorry mouth.
I turned the boy and ushered him forward. As we walked back I saw him spasming and seizing at the terrible pain. It would hurt if you blood turned to needles. Then he calmed and blood drained from his orifices.
When we were away from the dead body I moved my hand letting the little boy see. He pulled his hands back and looked up at me.
"Are you hungry?" I asked.
He nodded.
"My name is Chi."
"I'm Shiro" he said.
"Nice to meet you" I said.
We went into a restaurant. Shiro sat across from me.
"Order whatever you want. It's on me."
"Thank you Chi" he said in his tiny voice.
After we ordered Shiro looked at me with his brown eyes. "You know that earmuff thing doesn't work. I could hear everything."
"I know. But it was muffled some."
"What did you do to him?" He asked.
"I have a special power that lets me control my blood." I bit the side of my hand and then manipulated the dripping blood.
Standing on the table was a mini blood version of Shiro.
"Woah! That's so cool!" He said.
I worked my fingers and the mini Shiro did a flip and bowed.
"Woah!"
"I suppose" I said. "It's really only good for one thing though."
"Killing?" Shiro asked.
I nodded.
"Couldn't you heal people?" He asked. I tilted my head at him. I'd never thought of that. "You somehow controlled his body so couldn't you go into a sick person's body and heal them?"
"I suppose I could" I said. "I never thought of that." I ruffled his hair. "You're real smart kid. How old are you?"
"Eight." His cheeks reddened. "Eight and a half. How old are you?"
I chuckled, "22."
He pouted. "You should wait for me. In 12 years I'll be twenty."
I giggled. "And in 12 years I'll be 34. You're not gonna want me when I'm old."
"You might be older than me but you'll still be pretty" he said like it was fact.
"Awe thanks Shiro. I don't know if my boyfriend will like that though." I narrowed my eyes and looked away, and mumbled, "Not that he's been paying any attention to me."
"I'd be a great boy friend!" He protested.
"I'm sure you would" I said giggling.
We got our food and little Shiro was great company. He was funny and curious. Something about how he was so carefree made me feel at ease.
After our meal I got some sake.
"Can I have some?" He asked me, pleading me with his big brown eyes.
"You're not a lightweight are you?"
He shook his head.
I drank all that was in my cup. "Maybe in a couple years Shiro" I said. He pouted.
"You storm off to drink with a six year old" said a deep voice I knew well.
Law frowned as he stood next to our table. I harshened my gaze and narrowed my eyes.
"I'm eight" Shiro said.
"What does it matter to you?" I growled. "You're too busy for me."
"Chi" he growled.
Shiro gasped. I looked over at him and he was staring at Law's Jolly Roger on his shirt. "You're Trafalgar Law! Captain of the Heart Pirates!"
"Yeah and what's it to you kid?" Law growled.
"Be nice" I growled. "His name is Shiro."
"You're amazing!" Shiro said with wide eyes. "You're one of the super powerful and young supernovas."
I smirked. "Then you should like me more. I'm younger and have a bigger bounty."
"Would you stop bringing that up!" Law seethed.
I glared at him. "Maybe if my boyfriend would pay just an ounce of attention to me I'd have something else to talk about."
"You're both supernovas? And dating?!" Shiro said.
"Chi I need to talk with you." Law grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet.
"So now you want to talk when it's convenient for you?!"
Law growled and got in my face. "Don't do this here."
"Fine but don't expect much." I turned to Shiro softening my gaze. "I'll see you around Shiro." I dropped money on the table and left with Law. While we walked back to the ship I was frowning, crossing my arms. Silently Law places his hat on my head. I looked at him shocked. He was looking ahead with a hard glare. But I saw the slight pink on his cheeks. I brushed my shoulder against him. He was being cute.
