"What have you been up to?" Being completely caught off guard, I spun around and got into a defensive position.

Immediately after doing so this person flicks me on the nose. "Fudge on a stick!" I grab my nose cause, ow.

Looking up I make eye contact with the jerk. "Rayleigh? YOU BASTERED!!" I yell, tick mark forming on my head.

"Calm down." He says crouching down to my level.

Stop reminding me I'm short! "Calm down? CALM DOWN?!" I say steadily getting more pissed off.

Taking a deep breath to try and contain my rage, I walk over to the nearest boulder.

.

.

.

After effectively stomping the boulder out of existence with a haki covered foot, I calmly walk back over to Rayleigh.

"I thought you would try to punch me." He says with a smile.

"You would of just dodged or worse, I'd hit you and brake my hand. I only have one right now, I can't handicap myself further because of something as stupid as being mad at you." I say starring off into space.

He just started laughing so I went over to grab the paper bag. "What in the holy god of walnuts?!?" Were the fudge is the paper bag?!

Swiftly turning back to Rayleigh (who is now chuckling), I see he's holding the bag. "Can I have that back, please?" I just wanna take a shower god damnit!

"I don't know, can you?" I... Why does this happen? What am I doing wrong?

"I just wanna take a shower man! Can't I have this one thing?" This is getting troublesome.

Right now my goal is to get that stupid paper bag from Rayleigh, I'm screwed. This man can doge anything I through at him but he underestimates me, I think... I feel a headache coming on.

Rubbing my temple, I give Rayleigh a 'for the sake of all that is holy, give it back' look. To my utmost shock he gave it back, he through it at me but still. It hit me right in the face, I think my nose is broken.

The bag fell onto the floor, spilling it's contents. I would of caught it, but I was dealing with my bloody nose and pain, a lot of pain. Because the bag harshly hit my face and the automatic response sucks, I started crying. Not sobbing or anything, just tears streaming down my now red face. The salty liquid also got in my mouth via my face injury, making me cringe in disgust.

If you couldn't tell, I'm not happy right now. Shakily putting everything back in the bag, I pick it up, holding it under my armpit. The soul purpose for do this was so I could flip him off, and also stop the blood leaking from my face.

Finished with the first part of my petty revenge, I left to go find a place to clean myself. FINALLY. It took around 20 minutes of wandering to find a secluded spot, bonus my nose stopped bleeding, still cover in blood but whatever.

Not wanting to take any chances, I put the bag in my pants (no, I don't have pockets). The reason for doing so was because I need to make a cover, I have a feeling Rayleigh followed me and it would be very awkward if... I'm just not gonna think about that and focused on the task at hand, pun intended.

But I'm gonna push the sensitivity of my observation haki to the max, just in case.

After constructing a cover for my personal sanity, I wash off all the blood with my clothes on . Scrubbing the red substance out best I could I washed my hair with the shampoo and conditioner.

Feeling the grime properly get exterminated from my scalp felt heavenly, I've only been able to wash with water for a year and my hair at turned a greasy brown after a time so this was long overdue. Finishing up my bath? I put my wet clothes back on and went to find Rayleigh.

I wish I could leave but he's overpowered and a adult so I need him to get myself in a better situation. "Are you done?" I hear Rayleigh say behind me.

Turning around calmly I make eye contact with him. "Yes."

"Good, now-"

"Do you have any berri?" I ask abruptly, tilting my head.

He gives me a blank stare. "What do you think?" I then proceed to look him up and down.

"Stealing it is then." Swiftly turning around and heading in the direction of town.

"Hey!" Immediately afterwards I'm picked up by the collar of my shirt.

Shit, did I piss him off? "I got it."

Uhh... What?

He then starts walking in the direction of town, which takes no time at all because he got long legs. When he enters town I see people actually walking around and shops open, it's odd seeing how crowded the streets are now in comparison to a couple hours ago.

Im a child that's wearing rags and had blood stained clothes... Won't they call child protection services on him? Wait, those don't exist. If they did Garp-sama would be in impel down already.

Coming back to reality I'm being thrown into a changing room with some clothes. Rubbing my head I look down at what Rayleigh grabbed me.

God no.

How.

???

You know what, screw it I'm to tired for this.
