A Pirate's Heart (One Piece fanfic) [EDITING]

7:: Sanji's Nosebleed! Narcolepsy and The Symbolic Tattoo.

"Why are you' guys lookin' at me like that?" I looked to one facwe to the other. Luffy was just laughing.

"She and as has the. .  narcoplatypus or sumthin'" he said.

"Narcolepsy," I corrected, "Ace's just worste than mine."

"What's narco-whatever?" Usopp asked.

"It's a disorder where a person suffers from excessive sleepiness and sleep attacks. When falling asleep, generally experience the REM stage of sleep within 5 minutes; whereas most people do not experience REM sleep until an hour or so later. In other words, they fall asleep when least expected." Chopper explained.

"Oh, so a mystery disease." Luffy said bluntly.

I back-handed him, "When you say it that way, it sounds like I'm going to die. If anyone, Ace is way worst than me." I grumbled.

"Doesn't than mean Marimo here has the same thing? He just snoozes away all the time, " Sanji said.

"Nah. He seriously just naps whenever he wants to. Narcoleptics fall asleep when they least expect it, continue whatever they were doing and then when they wake up, have no memory."

(AN: be grateful for the info. I had to go on Wikipedia to find out what it means. I didn't get half the mumbo jumbo on there! i still don't know how to spell it, I just copied and pasted from Ace's wikia page)

"Whatever. Go back to partying. I'm tired and need a bath. I haven't had one for about," I counted on my fingers, "5 days."

"Ew! How could you stand it?" Nami said shuddering.

"It's called just scratching your head and wearing long sleeves." I grinned.

"Here, I'll show you the shower," Nami said, going into the ship, "Luffy! Usopp! Get some hot water running!"

"Okay!"

Later, I was dipping into a small bathtub filled with steaming water. It soaked my hair and relaxed my rense muscles. I rubbed the wound on my cheek from Captain Jackass's damn bullet. It didn't hurt, but it was a pain to think that someone like him was able to scratch me. I need to get out more. Maybe it was because I didn't have the boys around?

I shook my head. No that can't be it. They did help toughen me up, but I'm not going to rely on them to make me strong. I can only rely on myself.

Then I sighed and smiled. If only Sano was here.

He's laugh and ruffled my hair, making it even messier, say " Oh jeez Delilah, you worry over the stupidest things sometimes. Just calm down and smile like always." Then I would say, "Stop barfing sunshine, Sano." And laugh. Yeah, it was just a fluke. I really shouldn't worry. I pulled my hair forward and pulled my headphones on and blasted some music.

I rounded to corner, to see Sanji peeking in through the bathroom. Humming echoed through the door, along with sloshing water and steam.

"What are you doing, baka cook?" I said.

Sanji reached out and covered my mouth, "Shh! if she finds us we're both dead!"

I moved his hand away, "Well it'd be your fault! Why are you out here anyway?"

"Someone so simple-minded as you would never comprehend the solid fact that rests in front of us now behind this door." Sanji said, then with that stupid love-struck, hearts for eyes expression he continued, "Rhythm is naked just beyond this door! Her beautiful, flawless body is open to full view and how could anyone let off a chance to see the beauty of a lady at full?!"
