“Hold still!” hissed Kaku. “I can’t get the knot if you keep twitching.”
“'M not twitching,” Zoro muttered. “How the hell did these guys know to use sea-stone on you, anyway?”
“I doubt they did.” Kaku glanced at the painted loonies whooping and leaping in a loose circle around what might shortly become his and Zoro’s funeral pyre. “They probably think it’s pretty.”
Zoro snorted. “Just get my hands free, giraffe. That asshole,” he growled, “is going first.”
Kaku knew exactly which asshole Zoro meant: the one wearing a maned headdress, a green haramaki, and three katana. Digging his fingernails into the rope, Kaku jerked and felt the main knot give way. “Shall we?” he said, and though they were back to back, he could feel Zoro's grin.
Seconds later the clearing was filled with concussed bodies and Zoro was strapping his sheaths to his hip. Kaku shed his spots then hurled sea-stone-inlaid cuffs into the jungle. He retrieved his own katana and, “We should probably—” he began, but right about then Zoro grabbed him and kissed him.
Noses bumped. Tongues tangled. Kaku was so surprised, he completely failed to gut Zoro, and anyway the entire episode was over so fast he didn’t have time to decide if he wanted to. Zoro pulled away, looking pleased with himself.
“What—” Kaku paused. “What was that for?”
Zoro shrugged. “Figured I should do it now before one of us gets dead and I can't.”
The next minute was full of things Kaku didn’t do. He didn’t yell, didn’t draw his katana, and didn’t—as Zoro liked to put it—pull a giraffe. He did turn and walk very slowly away. “So that’s a no?” Zoro called.
Kaku gritted his teeth and kept walking.
