The animal inside was becoming restless the longer she stayed, her head became more and more woozy with each building she set eyes on, this place had no freedom like back on the rebel's side, and she couldn't take it much longer.
But she had a bet to finished with, (Y/N) couldn't let Kidd win and call her a cowardly chicken, besides, the (H/C) was able to control her wild urges so far for the past few years, she could handle a few hours in this.
Smiling up at the white marble wall, (Y/N) gripped behind her and took out her beloved grappling hook from her back pocket, peering up at the top of the polished castle, she didn't see any signs of any surveillance so she let it go and giggled when it hooked onto the very edge, perfect.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the sun began to loom higher and higher into the sky, it illuminated the shadowy streets in the rebel town, bringing light onto the tens of unconscious bodies of the rebellious youth that no doubt had agonizing hangovers to face later that day.
One teen squinted their eyes and grumbled a stream of curses when he realized it was late morning and that he was sleeping on the cold hard ground, "fuuuck...oh jesus, how much did I drink last night? *Sigh* hey...hey (Y/N)" he mummered.
When Kidd didn't receive an immediate response the boy couldn't help but feel some sort of dread inflate his stomach like a balloon, "hey, (Y/N), I'm freaking talking to you, hey chicken" the redhead rose up dispite the feeling of something squeezing his head like a child trying to squish an apple, but when he looked around to find the independent female nowhere in sight, it wasn't all that apparent as his mounting worry.
"(Y/N)!?-WHAT THE?" Kidd scowled when something he didn't notice before on his chest land onto his lap, and he felt his skin grow even more pale when he saw the chalked up flat rock, a note from no doubt the biggest trouble magnet he ever knew.
Flipping it over to see the words, Kidd narrowed his eyes to try and unscramble the chicken scratch layed before him because of his enormous hangover paired with (Y/N)'s strange handwriting, no matter how hard he tried to teach her it seemed as if (Y/N) was almost used to writing in some kind of different language.
'K1dd, h0n'ra br0peplh yeug0var u0m end h0n yeva u0 1dae myara 1 ew, s0 1 mr0ta ty1z t0 raw1ud h0n 0f lezt u1gyt'z megar. 1 maut t0 g0 crezy tya r0hel'z waat1ug, aet tyet he cy1ckau.
B.z 1'll ba peck 1n tya eftaru00u...? Tyraa dehz wex.
"...She wrote the e's, a's, s', z's, w's, m's, h's, y's, p's, b's, u's, and n's backwards again..I swear sometimes that she's definitely not normal..wait a minute...she fucking used zeros instead of o's..same with the I's and 1's too...I just had to fall for the craziest chick in town, didn't I?" He sighed in irony.
After three minutes of trying to make sense of it with his drunken mind, Kidd almost threw a fit at his own stupidity, "fuck I just HAD to try and teach her addition, this would be so much easier if she didn't know numbers.." when an hour went by and Kidd still didn't decode the message, someone finally shone some light on him.
"Hey Kidd would you mind fucking shutting up!?" Ami rose up from a light puddle of mud and barely refrained herself from throttling him since she was still a wee bit too hungover to do so, "(Y/N) went to go and do that crazy dare you gave her...now shhhhh, or I'll force you to bake for me again" the brownish redhead then collapsed back into the ground and cuddled closer into a nearby Luffy's comforting warmth, almost crushing her mud stained black glasses in the process.
"The bet? What the fu-" then all the memories suddenly slapped him in the face, hard enough to burn if it was actually physical, although he still reacted as if it was, "OH FUCKING SHIT!!!" Kidd shouted at the top of his lungs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N) smiled from within the dark shadows and barely ignored the not so subtle crawly feeling all over her skin at the sight of her goal not far from reach, in the same hallway as her, she watched the stream of people strut down the corridors and all flow into one direction, where she would also no doubt be going if it wasn't for one small problem.
She couldn't let any of them see her, no doubt they would notice who she was immediately and call in their security before she could even say 'rebel', but unfortunately she didn't have enough time for a substitute in disguise.
So with her skills that were perfected from childhood, she glided up a nearby pillar and smoothly slunk to the ceiling like a slippery serpent, silently crawled towards the open door upside down and smirked when it started to slowly close.
'Not on my watch' feeling her adrenaline starting to awaken again she sped up and raced closer to the door, just barely making it on time before it cooly slammed shut behind her like a death sentence.
But her mind was more focused on the sight in front of her, people wearing all sorts of colors and designs were seated and scattered all over an arena like room, only the chairs didn't make a whole circle and on the other side there was a pedestal with a small weird thing that looked fuzzy to touch, (Y/N) subconsciously brushed a hand over where her MP3 player would have been and discreetly wilted knowing her music was far out of her grasp and back to where she hid her duffel bag outside in the alleys of the town.
Then she turned and looked around finding that all the walls were made of glass with rushing water right behind them, it was like they were hidden inside of a waterfall, behind the pedestal, (Y/N) could make out some sort of an outdoor hallway with giant marble statues leading in down to some man made lake full of lily pads, flowers and more marble statues that were covered in vines.
Finally deciding that she knew enough in case she had to make a narrow retreat, the (H/C) smiled seeing a shadowy gap between a pillar and the ceiling, a perfect hiding spot for the duration of this meeting, so carefully as to not alert the royals below, the mischievous woman moved with haste and landed in the spot without a hitch.
"All that's left to do is to sit tight and wait for these basket cases to finish their creepy little get together, woof this is gonna be boooring" (Y/N) began to mumble to herself, thinking back to Kidd and Ami and all the small children who were probably eagerly awaiting her return, well, either that or they probably didn't give a shit and were patiently waiting for her to get back..."wow, I have such great friends" she sarcastically muttered.
