The Red Haired Devil

Chapter 26

Kairi walked into the base and sighed. She continued walking until she found Kyra.

"So, where is he?"

"Well... Uh, I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but we don't think it's a good idea if you see him just yet. We don't want all of his memories coming back all at once. It could hurt him. You've known him the longest so his memories could all return at once if he sees you."

"So, what you're saying is I have to avoid him? But-"

"I know you don't like it, but it could hurt him even more if all his memories come back at once." She pursed her lips and then sighed in defeat.

"Fine. I'll avoid him and go back to training. Ugh. This is frustrating!" She turned and stormed off and Kyra sighed. She headed towards the training grounds outside and seen Koala out there practicing her Fishman Karate.

"Kairi! You're back!" She said happily and Kairi grinned.

"Yea. I heard what happened."

"Oh. Well... Let's just get to training. Oh, by the way, you have a bounty on your head..."

"EH?!" She pulled out a wanted poster and on the front was Kairi's picture. "That was when I was destroying marine ships!!! Wait, a bounty of... Wow. I must have really pissed them off or something. Two hundred million is no joke. Wait... What the hell?! Monkey D. Kairi. What's up with that? My name's Nefertari D. Kairi... I think that Hina captain thought it was Monkey because I called Luffy my brother. Well, I guess I should count myself lucky. They can't find out my name's Nefertari." She sighed and handed it back to Koala. "Well, let's get to training."

They both trained for a while until Sabo walked out. Kairi pulled on her hat and tipped it down. "I'm gonna head in." She said walking past Sabo. Sabo glanced back at her and watched her walk in. She sighed and stretched.

"Hey Iceburg!" Kairi said waving to the mayor of Water Seven as she walked towards Dock One.

"Kairi, its been a while. What'd you come here for? Needing your ship repaired?" He asked and she grinned.

"No, not this time. I need to ask you a favor. We need to talk. Alone. It's important."

"Okay. Come by my office later and we'll talk."

"Got it. Anyways, I'm gonna go look around and say hi to everyone." Iceburg nodded and Kairi walked into Dock One.

"Hey, it's Kairi!" One of the shipwrights yelled and Kairi grinned. Kaku jumped down in front of her and she grinned.

"What brings you here, Kairi?" He asked smiling at her.

"Mmm... Stuff." She replied. "I figured I'd come and say hi to everyone. Its been a while since I've been here. Last time I was here, I helped fix ships. Where's Paulie, Lucci, Lulu, and Tilestone?"

"Working."

"Of course. Well, I'm gonna go find them. See ya later." She began walking off and when her back was turned, she narrowed her eyes and looked back at him through the corner of her eyes. She looked forward and walked around. It wasn't long til she seen Paulie with Lucci. She ran over to them and jumped on Paulie's back. "Hey, guys! Its been a while."

"Kairi?! What in the hell are you doing here? And get off me!" Paulie shouted and Kairi huffed but slid to the ground.

"I can be here if I want to. Got a problem with it? I just came to talk to Iceburg, but I kind of want to work on the ships. Want some help?"

"Not if your going to change into what you usually wear when working on ships!"

"Aw! I see nothing wrong with what I wear when working on ships." She said innocently.
