The Past: CP9

You felt something fall on your shoulder as Hattori stood on top of your head, you and Lucci taking a little rest. You glanced at your shoulder and blanched.

"Ugh! Lucci-neko, control your bird!" You yelled out to your partner who's dark eyebrows twitched. Only for a sadistic gleam to form in his eyes when Hattori began to peck your head.

You swear that something was wrong with the man, getting off at someone being pooped on and pecked by a bird was strange.

Stupid bird.

'But...' You thought as you glanced up at the sadistic Zoan user, who was giving Hattori a few touches to the head as the pigeon chirped, '...this isn't bad...'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day, on a random mission you don't remember...

"Lucci!" You called, spotting Lucci fall towards the sea by doing a careless mistake. You immediately dove in without a second thought, not having a valid reason for saving the man you thought you hated. Something that you did only with Smoker when your friend stupidly ate a devil fruit.

When Lucci opened his eyes and glanced at you, seeming to question why. Why would you rescue someone who did a careless mistake and should've died, and someone you disliked.

"I don't know..." You could only say to his questioning look, your eyes confused as you still had your hands on his chest when you were doing compressions.

Lucci only sat up and pushed you away, no thank you leaving his lips as he slowly stood up. And you knew he wouldn't. He wouldn't even return the favor, for he wasn't that kind of man.

No. Your eyes narrowed.

He wasn't.

But when you continued to have his back in some fights, defended him from certain blows, you questioned yourself more and more. Dark eyes glaring at you as his leopard tail twitched that way and that, seeming to want to find an answer in your actions.

Certainly...certainly you didn't see him as a comrade?

But you hated him. You did. You didn't like people like him. He believed in Dark Justice, while you did not, something he always said that proves your naïveté and that you were weak.

'Comrade...'

It was slowly starting to worm a way into your mind and heart as you again and again worked with Lucci in missions. Who did a mission without a complaint, but he followed exact orders. If Spandam didn't say it, he wouldn't do it.

Like the conniving cat he was.

And when Lucci successfully made the so called 'Director' sputter in a mix of fear and anger,it made it hard for you to control yourself.

"L-Lu-Lucci! Of c-course you're right. I apologize." Spandam said with a nervous sweat as he waved his hands back and forth.

You gave a small chuckle at the spectacle before you, trying to hide it behind your hand as you looked on in satisfying amusement at the pathetic 'Director'. Spandam never heard you, but Lucci always did. Him always glancing at you when he heard, his lips twitching sadistically.

What did it mean?

What did comrade mean to you exactly?

With each complete mission, your comments came, calling Lucci certain names. And when he gave a glare you would stop, and seemed to rub your neck sheepishly. With Hattori quickly pecking your hands and head as you shouted obscenities to it, while he watched in what seemed triumph. But quickly died down when the bird settled on your head comfortably. And his look was replaced to one of assessment as he looked at you, while you looked up at him just as evenly. You always questioning on what you see in the man for you to do such actions.
