"Your Highness? Time to wake up." Carissa said as she had pulled the covers off of Kara.

"I don't want to. I want to sleep some more." Kara whispered pulling the cover back over her.

Carissa looked at Kara curiously. "Did something happen last night Kara?"

Kara slightly smiled as she whispered, "he was here last night."

"'He'?" Carissa paused then asked surprised. "You don't mean Trafalgar Law was here last night?!"

Kara nodded her head.

"What happened?" Carissa asked.

"I had allowed him to come up here. And he had kissed me." Kara said laying her chin on her arms as they rested on her knees.

"He kissed you?" Carissa asked sitting next to her. "What about the security guards? They didn't notice anything?"

"He had left before he was caught." Kara said smiling. "I had wished the night wouldn't end. I was so happy to be with him Carissa."

"It sounds like you have fallen in love with him Kara." Carissa said smiling at Kara.

"If I did. I'm glad to have fallen for him." Kara said looking at Carissa.

"It would be nice if you could be happy with him. But he's a famous pirate."

"True." Kara said as she walked over towards her balcony and opened up the windows.

Law had laid down on his deck and relaxed as he remembered what happened last night.

"The captain seems to be in a good mood this morning." Bepo said smiling at Law.

"He's probably thinking about 'his Princess' again." Jean said smirking as he gotten a grin from Law as he said that.

"Yeah I'm thinking about Kara again. I wouldn't doubt she's doing the same thing." Law paused then asked looking at Jean. "Who said she was mine? I never said Kara was mine." Law said thinking to himself, "I would very much like it that way though."

"True you never did. But it's what you want, Captain." Bepo said.

"Yeah it is what I want. But for me to have her will be very difficult." Law said looking at Jean and Bepo.

Jean and Bepo nodded their heads in agreement.

"Unless the Queen allows it." Law said smirking.

"You think she might?" Bepo asked.

"I don't know." Law said. He looked and saw the castle and smiled as he saw who was standing on the balcony. "If the Queen does allow me to have Kara. I think even having her might make me not want to go after One Piece anymore."

Bepo and Jean saw Law smiling and looked towards where he was looking.

"Is that the Princess?" Bepo asked.

"I wouldn't be smiling looking over that way if she wasn't outside." Law said looking at him.

"She sure is pretty with long hair." Bepo said looking at Law.

"Yeah," Law said then saw she was waving towards them. "She's waving goodbye to us."

Bepo and Jean smiled seeing Kara waving at them.

All three smiled towards where Kara was and waved bye towards her.

Carissa walked out onto the balcony where Kara was waving.

"Are they leaving?" Carissa asked.

"Yeah." Kara said smiling.

"I bet you're gonna miss him alot." Carissa said looking at Kara.

"I will." Kara said looking at Carissa. "I already can't wait to see him again." Kara said smiling at Carissa.

Kara and Carissa had watched Law's ship leave until they were as far as they could see.

"Please be careful, Law."

Kara thought as she turned and went into her room with Carissa.

As they entered her room. Kara had seen her mother enter her room.

"Mother? What's wrong?"

"Are you alright Kara?" Karen asked walking up to her.

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Kara asked.

"I had overheard some of the servents in the castle talking about you rushing home yesterday so soon after you had left for your walk."

"I see." Kara said as she had noticed her bedroom door was opened. "I will tell you about it after the door is shut."

"Of course," Karen said shutting the door and sat down on Kara's bed. "What happened?"

"I went out for a walk along the beach yesterday. During my walk, a pirate ship had shown up. The Captain of the ship had jumped in front of me." Kara said blushing a little remembering the scene. "He had told me to go home. What I didn't notice, but he did, was a group of people were fallowing me."

"I see. I'm glad you are safe from the bad people." Karen paused then asked, "do you know why they were after you?"

"I didn't think to ask Law about it after he visited me last night." Kara said then blushed as she covered her mouth.

"The pirate was here last night?" Karen asked giving Kara a mischevious smile.

"Uh," Kara stuttered not knowing what to say.

"Tell me what happened Kara. Everything." Karen said looking sternly at her.

Kara sighed as she began telling her mother what happened last night.

Karen held a stern face as Kara had told her she had allowed the pirate named Trafalgar Law enter her room. She had then felt her lips twitch in a smile, but was able to hide it as Kara told her Law had kissed her as she blushed deeply once again.

"And you didn't think to ask Trafalgar-san why the kidnappers were after you?" Karen asked in a teasing voice.

"No," Kara paused then said. "I was so happy to see him again. No questions abouts what happened earlier that day entered my mind. I'm sorry mother."

"Don't be sorry Kara." Karen said smiling at her. "I'm glad you are safe and Trafalgar-san was able to help you out."

"You aren't upset about me letting Law into my room?"

"You're still an innocent aren't you?" Karen asked bluntly and then said smiling at seeing Kara blush deeply, "I see you are still. Usually if a woman invites a man into their room. It means she has given herself to him."

"I'm not ready for that kind of relationship yet. I'll wait for the right person and see if they deserve what I have to offer them." Kara said blushing deeply.

"Good Kara. That is a wise decision." Karen said smiling.

"Mother?" Kara paused then asked, "how did you know you were in love with Father?"

"I think it was when I always thought of him. And my heart began to race with each thought. Even now after these past few years it still hurts to think of his death." Karen said sadly.

"That's how I feel when I think about Law." Kara said blushing.

"Do you love him Kara?" Karen asked seriously.

"I don't know. But I haven't been able to stop thinking about him since our first meeting." Kara said truthfully. "I know I've begun to care for him alot. But I don't know if it's love."
