Corpse Girl pt6~ Gifts

        “Demon!” You chime waving your arms cheerfully. The ghoul stops, looking at you, and from what you could sense, he was judging you.
         “What? Go to bed-“ You grab his sleeve cheerfully.
         “Lets go shopping! I want to get gifts!” You grin.
         “What?” He huffs, sounding confused.
         “Please come with me to go shopping! I need your help!” You insist, tugging his sleeve. He growls a warning at you but you just smile at him. “Please Demon?”
          “…. Fine! Stop touching me!” He snaps, yanking his arm away. You can’t help but to giggle, no matter how mean he acted, you knew he was a sweetheart.
          “Come on then!” You chime leading the way out. He hesitates before following you out into the night air. You bounce ahead cheerfully, and pause. “Oh no… You wont take off your mask, people will know….”
          “I’ll trail behind, don’t worry about it.” He waves his hand dismissively. He then disappears from sight, your shoulders droop at that.
           “That defeats the purpose of going together….” You sigh. Then again, this could help you test something. Reaching town, you enter a store, peering around carefully at everything. You find a cute fluffy hat hanging up a bit too high.
            “That’ll be perfect too…” You mutter climbing up on a shelf to reach it. You free it and climb back down, staggering back slightly. You’re stopped by a body. You blink and look up to meet amber eyes. “Kid! Hiya!”
       “…. Yo….” He mutters.
       “What are you up too?” You ask turning to him. He shrugs, looking to the side casually.
       “Nothing much.” He says.
       “Then… Shop with me please!” You beam up at him. He blinks and frowns uncomfortably.
       “Alright…” He accepts your invitation. You straighten up at that and look around.
        “Hmm… I think that’s all I’ll find here.” You hum, tugging his arm. He grumbles a bit, letting you lead him out. You soon spot an antique store and light up. “Oh in here too!” Your hand slips to his and you enter the shop cheerfully. Kid stares at your hand holding his the whole time. You don’t notice, too focused on the shelves.

            “Hey Blank, what does Demon like?” You lean over the ghoul. Law raises an eyebrow up at you.
          “Blank? Did you forget my name?” He teases.
          “I just like saying it.” You shrug. “So, you gonna answer?”
          “Hmmm… Weapons, and music.” Law tilts his head. “Ask about me instead, or I might get jealous.” He smirks poking your nose. You giggle a bit and hum.
         “Then what do you like?”
         “I’ll show you.”

          “Ah ha!” You chime, picking up the anniversary coin. “He said I wouldn’t find one like this.” You snicker to yourself as you find an old cookbook too. You let go of his hand and he relaxes, looking to the side.
         “Hey look, its Killer.” He holds up a drummer figurine with long blond hair.
         “Kid… That drummer is a chick, look at her boobs.” You point out. He glances at them and shrugs.
          “I don’t care, I’ll buy it, and then you give it to him and tell him what I said.” He smirks.
         “That’s so mean Kid.” You giggle.
         “It’ll be funny.” He rumbles. You roll your eyes.
         “Alright fine…” You smile, looking at it.
        “It’s going to be great.” He chuckles leading you to the register. You both pay before you lead him to a electronics store. Kid pulls away, moving to the music section. You move to an isle near him to watch him quietly. He was looking over the headphones carefully, finding a pair he liked until he saw the price.
          On to the mp3s he went immediately after seeing the. You grab the headphones and smile before watching his eyes scan the devices. You remembered seeing him on break with an old mp3, looking out the window. You pause, was he saving his money for something?
           “Hey.” Kid’s voice makes you blink back and look at him. “Ready to go yet?”
           “Oh yeah! Let me just grab one more thing.” You smile, grabbing a red mp3 before paying and leading him out. “Now, what would Shanks like?” You frown.
         “Probably coffee rum and a kiss on a cheek….” He mutters.  
         “Then lets go to the liquor store over-“ He takes the bags from you carefully. “Thank you,” You breathe giving him a smile. He just tips his head and you walk with him to the liquor store.
        Upon entering, you freeze, hugging Kid’s arm. Kid tenses, looking at you in puzzlement. “___?” The greenette blinks at you in surprise.
         “Hello again investigators,” You smile at them. “Did you just get off work?” You guess.
          “Yes, it’s nice to see you again.” They gold eyed Dove nods.
          “Oh… I never got your names.” You frown guilty, “And I don’t think I thanked you properly either.”  
          “Don’t worry about it, I probably wouldn’t have been in a good mood either if someone did that to me… I’m Zoro,” The greenette shrugs.
          “We should’ve introduced ourselves to begin with. Im Dracule Mihawk.” The golden eyed dove gives a bow.
         “___, and this is my friend Kid.” You touch your cheek to Kid’s arm.
        “Nice to meet you. Take care,” Mihawk smiles before going out. Zoro hesitates before giving you a calling card.
        “If you uh… Need anything.” He murmurs before going out.
         “That was a nice gesture,” You hum putting it in your pocket.
        “You uh… Can let go of my arm now….” Kid grumbles. You blink and release him.
        “Sorry, they surprised me.” You say sheepishly, tracking down the coffee rum. You blink up at it and move to climb up the shelf but Kid plucks you off of it and moves you to the side.
         “I can reach it.” He sighs, grabbing it for you.
         “Oh right… You are taller…” You hum following him to the register. You pay for the rum and start for the house. “Thanks for tagging along Kid, it was nice to have company.” You smile up at him, sneaking the bag with the headphones in his hand.
          “Don’t mention-“ You kiss his cheek and he totally stops.
          “See you later.” You tell him, going ahead.
         Soon it was in sight. You start to smile until Lolli appears under a street lamp. She shook in an unsettling way, a sneer pasted on her face. “You…” She snarls. You shift, watching her warily. “This is all because of you!” she whips out a knife, eye twitching as she starts toward you. “You should just die!” She suddenly lunges forward.
         You didn’t feel the need to move, nor did you feel any fear as she came closer. The knife breaks against a giant black and red kakuhoe. Lolli staggers back, eyes widening as they look past your shoulder.
         “Now it all makes sense! You slut! You seduced him didn’t you! Freak! Corpse Girl!” She shrieks crazed.
         “I should’ve never approached you… You’re just full of poison..” You murmur.
         “I bet you get real freaky too don’t ya!? Trash! Gah-“ She coughs out a breath as the kakuhoe seizes her.
           “Never stops talking… How do you want this to go?” Demon rumbles.
           “She’s not worth anymore of your time… Lets just go home.. Please.” You murmur. He pauses before throwing her into a brick building nearby. You hear a splat and shiver. Demon brushes past calmly.
        “Then lets go.” He says simply. You glance at his back, not moving to follow. He stops and looks back. “What?” You don’t respond, carefully holding out your hand. He hesitates before taking your hand slowly and guiding you on.
        “Thank you…” You murmur.
        “For what? I got tired of listening to her.” He scoffs.
        “For saving me… Again… I’m really glad I met you…” You breathe leaning on his arm  and closing your eyes. He stops in front of the house.
        “Even after seeing that?” He inquires.
        “I’ve seen worse from her.” You say pointedly before leaning up and kissing the side of his mask as you put the new mp3 in his hand. “I hope you like it.” You add before going inside. “Im back!” You call.
        “Hey beautiful, in here!” Killer calls from the dining room. You go in and smile at Law and Shanks.
        “How was shopping with Demon? Was he nice for once?” Law rumbles.
        “As nice as he can be.” You put the fuzzy hat on his head and press the anniversary coin in his hand.
       “For me? You shouldn’t have.”  He chuckles lightly.
       “Anything for me?” Killer inquires.
       “Here, since you insist on cooking for me, and I ran into Kid, he said that this looked exactly like you so I had to get it for you.” You smile holding up the drummer chick. Shanks and Law snicker at that and Killer’s eye twitches.
         “Is that so… I’ll show how different I am from that little drummer.” Killer winks at you, taking his gifts. “Thanks beautiful, if I get good enough at cooking, maybe we can talk Shanks into expanding the café.” He adds thoughtfully.
          “Then I’ll be your assistant chief.” You chime. Killer chuckles lowly at that.
          “It’s a deal.” He decides cheerfully.
          “What about me?” Shanks smiles eyeing the last bag. You hum, pulling out the bottle and watching him light up.
          “Of course I got you something.” You giggle lightly, handing it to him.
         “You’re just the sweetest thing…” He breathes happily.
         “I’m glad you all like them,” You yawn and stretch. “I’ll go to bed now, goodnight!” You wave before going to your room and changing for bed. A smile plays on your face as you lay down and settle in. Your eyes close but sleep is slow to take over.
          After a while, you hear your door open and close before feeling someone move onto the foot of your bed before propping up against the wall. You wait a bit before sitting up, making them stiffen. “Is that you Demon? Something wrong?” You murmur, reaching out blindly and finding his elbow. His hand pats yours in response. “Okay… I’ll scoot over if you want to lay down, I don’t mind if you stay.” You tell him softly before laying back down. Just before sleep finally takes you, you feel him lay down beside you.

Corpse Girl pt7 ~ New Acquaintances  
*Unfortunately its been so long that I forgot who it was that designed this mask for reader. If you're still around let me know so I can credit you! Thanks so much for this too!*
        “What?” You murmur while Demon demands the same thing.
         “You heard me. ___’s coming with me to escort a guest here.” Law says simply.
         “No. It’s too dangerous.” Demon snaps, protectively placing an arm in front of you. Law raises an eyebrow at him and the ghoul growls in response. You touch Demon's hand gently, making him stiffen.
          “Demon, they’ll be staying here anyway. Its best not to surprise them when they get here, everyone hates an unwelcomed surprise.” You assure calmly.
