[In the meantime Law is going to drain that kettle and shiver. Try to open his eyes.
In more respects in one. This is no longer safe and probably has long past any notion of that. This will hurt both of them, eventually. And it will hurt the people around them.
Law knows that in the end, the blame falls squarely on him. And he smells the winds beginning to change.
Selfish some would call it. Selfish. But it's not just love at play, it's friendship, honor, and loyalty. Unspoken promises on a beach. And the desire to see a moment of peace pass through his friend's eyes.
Pirates are selfish people. He could just imagine what Itachi would say and do if he could hear his thoughts. Shinobi are not a selfish people.
(But his is a people that is naturally the antithesis of shinobi, anyway. Itachi's people will sacrifice the one or the few for the many, the good of the whole. Never mind they are dear.
His is a people that can and will go to war against the world for one man. One woman.
Simply because they are dear.)
Two sides of the same coin.
Maybe Trafalgar Law would have made a good ninja. But Trafalgar Law is a pirate.
And so he sits and shivers and waits for Itachi to return.]
