Ghost

Chapter 2: Remember

I looked at my motionless body laying on the bed in the infirmary. I still couldn't believe that I was dead. I don't even remember how it happened. It was like a piece of my memory just suddenly vanished.

The hole in my body's chest was closed up thanks to Chopper's amazing stitch work. But the sight of Chopper trying to stitch my wound was painful. It was a surprise how he was able to do such an incredible job with him shaking so violently. The entire time I watched him, Chopper was crying, tears running down his cheeks, trying to wipe them away from time to time, but failed. His hands shook so much that I though he would mess something up, but the two years really made his medical skills better.

However, that was a long time ago. Now my body was just laying there. Being still. Unmoving. However, I wasn't alone. My eyes began to move upward from my body to the person sitting in the chair beside the bed. My eyes softened and I frowned deeply at the sight of my navigator.

Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she did. I looked into them and my frown deepened. Her eyes looked lifeless. No emotions were seen in them. Nothing. To see her like this was making my chest hurt. I placed a hand on my chest. I wasn't sure how I was able to feel pain since I was dead, but it was there. I couldn't explain it. Why did I feel pain when I was already dead?

I then saw her move her hand. I watched her carefully as her hand went up to my body's face and she carefully caressed my cheek. She then began crying again.

I heard her sob. Her tears were only making the pain in my chest hurt more. I wanted to go over there and comfort her. To tell her that everything was going to be okay. But, I couldn't. I couldn't because I was dead and everything I touched, my hand would just go through them.

She then let her head fall down to my hand as I watched cry into it. I heard her sob, while saying something. But I couldn't hear her. Oh how much I wanted to hear her voice. I didn't know why I wasn't able to hear anyone. I walked around the bed toward her. I lifted my hand, but quickly placed it back to my side. I clenched my hands into a fists.

I shut my eyes tightly. This was all just so infuriating. The worse part of it was was that I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even remember how I died. Why?

"Why...?" My eyes snapped open. I looked down at Nami. Her face was no longer in my hand, but was looking at my expressionless face. I heard her. I was finally able to hear her. "Why...Luffy?" My frown couldn't get any deeper than what it already was.

"Why did you do it?" She said through her sobs. It was so painful. Her voice felt so weak to me. I never seen Nami like this, even when she was part of Arlong's crew. I didn't know what she was talking about. What did I do? Why couldn't I remember? "Why did you...why did you have to die like this!" She almost screamed. Like what? Why couldn't I remember? "Why did you leave us?" She let out a loud cry, dropping her head onto my body's chest.

I was stunned. What did I do? Damn it! Someone tell me! "Why did you have to be so stupid and get yourself stabbed like that right in front of me!" My eyes widened. It was then...everything began to come back to me. I remembered.
