Contractual Duties
AJ Angelique

Late in the stillness of the night, a single figure roamed the halls of Arlong Park...it was Arlong. Bored and restless, he resorted to a quick patrol of his place before he'd head off for bed. While others would find a place as big and empty as this creepy, Arlong wasn't so easy to btoher with such childish things. The only thing on his mind was to make sure no one had broke into his place to steal his money. Tonight would be a bit easier though, due to the fact that his crew was gone for the night. They had left earlier that evening for one reason or another and that eventually left Arlong alone at the park.

Arlong's mind drifted to those who had gone off to see their girlfriends...or went out to find some. His crew was well known so they wouldn't have any trouble getting girls.

"Hmph, wouldn't mind having a couple right now myself," he said aloud to himself with a light smirk. Yet as nice as that thought was, normally that's as far as it usaually went. While most females of his species loved to hang off him like living jewelry, they often got scared off by his sharp nose to do anything else. Arlong then scowled lightly and tried to shake off the thought as he turned his mind back to the patrol.

It was then that his super hearing picked up an unusual noise. Scowling even more, he began to hone in on it and followed it to a room upstairs. Once there, he put a hand on the doorknob and opened the door as quietly as possible. He was surprised at first to see light in the room and even more surprised to see Nami in the room. She was sitting at a table littered with papers and it looked at first as she she was just relaxing as she sat upright and leaned her head back with her eyes closed. But it was the rythmatic rise and fall of her chest and even sound of her breath that told Arlong that she was in fact asleep.

"Hmph," Arlong huffed under his breath as he walked into the room and placed his candle on a nearby bookshelf before he approached the table. Once there, he found that all the papers were maps for his next conquest. Arlong smirked at all the work Nami had done.

'Pathetic PuMan must have been working on these as long as I have been here...' he thought as he looked over all the maps. He then glanced at Nami from the corner of his eye and something tuged on the corners of his mind that some was different about her. It was just then that he gave himself a mental smack on the head, she wasn't that smart ass little kid anymore. Now she was a smart ass young lady, Nami had grown up since that day and she was still indebt to him. Yet as long as she was alive, he was going to make sure she stayed indebt to him. She was bringing in too much treasure to just let it end one day. The thought of all that gold she had stashed away made his little greed demon giggle in delight.

But the giggle fest was interupted when he noticed that she was sleeping with not only her head titled back against the back rest of the chair, but her mouth was closed. The candlelight made her lips look pouty and ready to be kissed. It was then that a question crossed Arlong's mind, would he be able to kiss someone if their head was titled back like that? Deciding to sate his curiosity right then, he put down the papers he was holding and approached Nami from behind. He then proceeded to lean down over her, quietly and carefully so as not to wake her. Yet just as he was about to brush lips with her, the tip of his nose scraped against her chest and Nami was stirred from her sleep.

Arlong scowled at this as Nami woke up and opened her eyes to look up it him. She had this confused look on her face for a moment before she realized where she was.

"Arlong?!" Nami gasped in surprise.
"Do you have any idea how late it is?" he asked, glareing down at her as usual.
"No," Nami stated truthfully yet tensly. Arlong scolwed at her tense and wished she'd relax.
"It's the middle of the night," he said.
"What!?" Nami exclaimed and quickly righted her head only to be rewarded by a small spasm of pain. Nami gritted her teeth and winced before she lifted her hands to work the kink out of her neck.

"Chill, you can stay the night here," Arlong said as he returned to the left side of the table.
"Thanks but no thanks," Nami said as she finished rubbing her neck and looked back up at the papers on the table.

"It's all done, all the maps you need are right here," Nami said, that slight tone of pride on her voice (as usual). Nami didn't take her eyes off her work as she didn't want to look back up at him at the moment, her body filled with tension as she sat there rigidly. Arlong merely noded at what she said but noticed how tense she was. He wished she'd just relax, it wasn't like he was going to bite her or something.

"Yes, excellent work Nami. Our raid tomorrow will go off without a hitch thanks to you," Arlong finaly said, complimenting her for once. Nami didn't help but notice this but kept her mouth shut about it all the same.

"Now that your skills as a navigator have been put to use, it's time to put your other skills to use," Arlong said. Nami finally looked up at him with this confused look on her face as she blinked once.

"Huh?" she merely asked. He looked back at her out of the corner of his eye and Nami had this cold shiver run down her spine at the moment. This was only emphasize when Arlong turned his head towards her and there was this grin on his face that Nami didn't like in the least. The two remained where they were for the moment and Nami was the first to move, jumping up from her chair and bolting towards the door. Arlong was quicker of course, he cut Nami's path off and she skidded to a stop before she collided with him. Slowly, she backed away from him as he approached her. The only thing that stopped her was the table, which skidded against the stone floor slightly when she bumped into it.

"A...Arlong?" Nami stammered as the shark walked right up to her, invading her personal space.
"Do you have any idea how good you smell right now?" he asked, leaning down just enough to good wiff of her. Nami was wracked with fear as her brain fumbled with an way out of this situation as he pressed up against her hard and she could hear the candle rattle on the table.

"Arlong, the maps," Nami gasped as she turned away from him. Arlong lost his temper right then as he let out this loud growl before he took the underside of the table with both hands and lifted up as fast and hard as he could. This resulted in the lifting and flipping of the table as all the papers drifted through the air lift snow, the ink being spilled on the stone floor and the candle being tossed into the air only to fly over to the wall were it promptly went out. During the whole thing, Nami stood there as stiff as board as she felt the rush of air from the table and hear the disaster that occured behind her. Yet before all the papers floated down to the floor; Arlong bent down, hoisted Nami up, swung her onto his shoulder and carried her out of the room...
