The Shogun and the Samurai

×16×

Killer yawned as he made his way through his master's chambers and to his private room.

After having not been by the Shogun's side for an entire day, the masked man was surprised that the palace hadn't burned down.

Chuckling at the thought, Killer entered the Shogun's room and sighed at the lump in the bed completely covered by sheets.

"Kid-dono," Killer sighed, already straightening out the bedspread. "It's time to wake up."

The lump groaned and shifted making Killer sigh yet again.

"Kid-dono, if you don't wake up soon, Bonney's going to eat everything the chefs can cook and we will be left with nothing- WHAT THE FUCK?!"

The masked man had pulled back the sheets and jumped at the figure he saw in the bed.

"TRAFALGAR LAW, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!"

Law groaned and rubbed his eyes with a tattooed fist.

"It's too early, Killer-ya... Shut up."
With a yawn, the samurai turned his back to the Shogun's advisor and pulled the sheet back up to cover his bare, tattooed shoulders.

Killer stared for a moment at Law, then looked up and around the room. "Kiiiid?"

A snort came from the floor on the far side of the bed and a few moments later Kid's head of messy hair shot up from the floor.

"Wuzzat?" He slurred, looking around. "Killer? Izzat you?"

The advisor slapped a hand over the eyes painted on his mask as the Shogun stood, revealing his bare lower half.

"Please, please tell me you were drunk last night and nothing happened."

Law snorted in amusement as Kid wrapped a sheet around his hips and refused to make eye contact with his advisor.

Killer gaped.

Putting his hands on his head, the masked man sat down on the jade floor and stared at the ground. "Oh god... Ooohhh god..."

After a moment of panic, Killer's head snapped up and he glared at Law.

"What did you do to him?!" The masked man snarled, jumping to his feet and drawing his swords.

Law eyed the weapons with narrowed orbs, but Kid was having none of that.

"Killer, he didn't do anything to me!" The Shogun exclaimed, walking over and tearing one of the swords out of his servant's hands.

Killer looked up at his master, shocked. "But you hate him-"

"Not anymore!"

Law raised an eyebrow at the duo and couldn't help but enjoy the excited fluttering in his stomach.

"I don't know what I feel anymore!" The Shogun continued. "All I know is that from the moment I met him, I haven't been able to get Trafalgar Motherfucking Law out of my head! And you know what?! I'M FUCKING FINE WITH THAT!"

Killer's eyes were wide enough to the point where Law could just see the blue irises hidden behind the mask.

The advisor took a shocked step backwards and Kid threw his friend's sword down to the floor with a metallic clang.

"Get out..." The redhead ordered, his breathing slightly heavy. "Get. Out."

Killer faltered for a moment, but bowed anyway and grabbed his sword before turning to the door.

The Shogun watched him begin to leave, then called out again.

"Killer."

The masked man paused, indicating that he was listening.

"Tell Heat to prepare the horses and gather my fiercest soldiers. Tomorrow we ride to Dressrosa."

If the advisor was shocked at the sudden declaration of war he didn't let it show in his body language. Killer just bowed his head and left his master's chambers.

Law, on the other hand, was stunned speachless.

The samurai watched with wide eyes as the Shogun sat down on the bed next to him.

"What the fuck was that?" Law sputtered as soon as he was able to find his voice.

Kid shrugged and Law sat up, anger slowly replacing shock.

"You are not going to Dressrosa, Eustass-ya." The samurai snarled.

Kid glared back at his new lover, fire burning in his golden eyes. "Yes, I am. I'm going to kill that bastard for you."

Law gaped. "Did you not hear what I said last night? Doflamingo is mine to kill! If you go then I'm going with you, and I'll be the one to finish him off!"

Kid snarled. "No, you're staying here."

Law's ice cold glare matched Kid's molten one perfectly. "I'm going! This is my revenge, not yours, so why are you butting into my business?!"

"Because a few fucking days ago I realized that I had feelings for you, so now it IS my fucking business!"

Law sat back and blinked in astonishment for a moment.

He wasn't expecting that. He wasn't expecting that at all.

The samurai had assumed that the Shogun was just 'experimenting'- as the redhead liked to call it, but this?

They stared into each others eyes for a few seconds longer before Kid stood from the bed and donned his discarded robe.

"Scream and bitch all you like, but you're not leaving this palace. I will not let someone precious to me be killed."

Unable to move or form words, the samurai just stared after the Shogun as the larger man left the room.
