I'm Falling... But in Love?

Chapter two: Separated for good?

             Lily ran back to the field where tons of dead, mangled, and knocked out marines lay. Kidd suddenly grabbed the girls arm, surprising her, if his hold wasn't so tight she would have jumped.

"Shit there you are! You weren't trying to run away were you?" The tall man asked her with a glare before he started to drag her away once again.

"I don't have anything to run away from. Clowns don't scare me," She looked him up and down the best she could while stumbling to keep up with his long strides. "Not even the super ugly ones." She finished her sentence. The red-haired man's grip got tighter and he turned to her.

"Watch what you say wrench!" He says glaring at her unimpressed face. She was about to give a coy remark when a funny dressed man came up to them. The man's outfit had a punk like style but most of it was made out of leather, 'That looks like something you would find from the BDSM community.'

"Captain . . ." Ha that explains the lack of fashion sense. ". . . there are more marines coming, and Admiral Kizaru has arrived on the island" Kidd started to curse up a storm, changing his grip to her waist, he flung the girl back onto his shoulder telling the present crew members to get back to the ship.

"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! PUT ME THE HELL DOWN!" Lily screeched in his ear as loud as she could. Kidd actually listened this time but only to save his ear from bleeding. Literally throwing her on the hard ground, the crash forced the air out of her lungs as she bounced. Lying to her side to help get oxygen back into her respiratory system, Kidd ordered someone to gag 'the loud bitch' as he kindly put it and make sure she doesn't get away. She was then lifted from the ground for what it seemed to be like the hundredth time that day, but couldn't get enough air to say something. The pirate carried the flame-haired girl bridal style, her gaze lifted to her current ride. The first thing that came to mind was; damn he tall. His style wasn't much better than the last guy. His chest was covered in fishnets and some weird leather straps, a necklace that looked like small axes, and his head was covered in what could only be described as a batman-like hat. The sides came to just below his chin while the top had long pointy antennas sticking up.

            The Kidd pirates destroyed the bridges they crossed, in hope of slowing the marines down while trying to get back to the ship as fast as they could. They reach an open field, Lily turned her head to see why they were forced to stop. A giant man stood in their path. His long sleeve black shirt had some kind of target crosshair on it, along with white pants with brown spots with a matching square-ish hat but it had round ears on the top. He almost looked like a bear, especially with the paw prints lining the hem of his shirt. Lily stared up in surprise, 'Why did the dumb brute stop? I would expect him to just rush towards the large man with that cocky attitude of his. Who was this giant man that could make Red stop in his path?' Lily questioned herself. After removing the gag she started to talk to her carrier.

"Can you put me down now? I can run on my own." Lily asked while looking up at the weirdly dressed man.

"Sorry Sweetie can't let you go, captain's order." He replied with a shrug. The flaming haired girl just pouted in his arms causing the tall man to chuckle. "Just be happy he hasn't killed ya." He added with a small grin.

"Ya ya whatever, if I throw up you can blame him then." She grumbled, however she couldn't help but admire his loyalty to what the red haired thug had ordered him to do. 'I guess he is their captain, but where are we? 'Cause I definitely don't remember this place being in our geography class?' A blast knocked the girl out of her thoughts. The man started to run off to the side, away from the rest of the group. 'Is he retreating? Leaving the rest to fight? He doesn't seem the type.' Once again she was brought out of her mussing when he sat her down on the ground under some giant roots.
