Minawa: Hi! this is my third fanfiction and my second One Piece fanfiction. So fun!
Ray: Is it? I'm telling you, you sitt by the computer too...
Minawa: ...AND since I wanted to write an action story involving pirates there's no other like One Piece!
Ray: There are probably other pirate mangas out there you know...
Minawa: ...shut up.
It was early morning and yet I couldn't see the sun or the towns moving crowds.
You know why? Because I had the luck of getting the room with a window facing the alley next to the inn. All you could see was a brick wall. Real fun.
I sighed as I pulled the dirty shirt over my face. I just wanted to get dressed quickly so that I could have some breakfast. I was damn hungry since I hadn't eaten any dinner the day before. Therefore I was looking forward to having a nice, yummy meal right now.
I stepped out of the black shorts and pulled of my stockings. It all ended up in my new bought gray bag.
I went over to the drawers and pulled out the top one. Inside I tried to find myself something nice to wear, something comfortable but not eye catching. I guess the smartest thing I could do now was keep a low profile and not get into any unnecessary fights.
I pulled out a cute white dress and with that I grabbed a pair of white socks and a brown belt, which matched my boots. Onto that I attached my katana by the hip, letting it hang there with a familiar feeling to it. I absolutely refuse to go anywhere without Hime.
After pulling the dress on I ruffled my short hair and checked the room for a mirror but I didn't see one. I went across the room over to the small bathroom and found one hanging on the wall over the sink. I meet a familiar face in it and checked it for any abnormal things in my face but I couldn't find anything worth minding. I sighed and started fixing so that my brown bangs and the rest of the hair would at least look normal. My red eyes followed my slender fingers movements until I was pleased.
"Bye, Oji-san." I said when I left the inn. Outside people were moving up and down the street running errands. I really didn't have anything special to get my hands on so I past the stands without a second glance. All I wanted was some breakfast.
Suddenly a sweet smell caught my attention. It was a mix of vanilla and strawberries.
It came from a café on the left side of the road. When I went over to have a look I noticed the faces of the costumers sitting and eating and the ones leaving. They all smiled.
"Can I help you?" a young girl in uniform asked. I smiled and held up one finger.
"Seat for one person, please". The girl nodded and showed me through the mass of tables inside the café. She showed me a small booth at the back and gave me a menu.
"Be right back." She said and walked. I noticed that her bright curls bounced every time she moved but that was just cute if you ask me. I sighed and had a closer look at the café.
The room itself was decorated with dark wooden walls and baby pink trims. The tables were of dark wood as well with either pink candles or flowers.
Some of the tables stood outside the room under brown fabric held up by long sticks. Like a parasol. And what surprised me was the fact that there was no entrance, or rather, there was no wall towards the street. It was completely open but I guess that gives it a friendly feeling. That everyone is welcomed.
About an hour later I was finished with my food and called for the waitress once again. I found her talking to a costumer and normally that wouldn't worry me. Except for the fact that I knew these people too well.
A slim man in a black robe with a dark grey hat and dark narrow sunglasses. A short chubby man in a similar outfit. Those two meant trouble.
I quickly pulled out a traveling robe and a sun hat from my backpack and put them on before the waitress came back. I quickly paid her and gave my compliments to the chef before I almost ran-walked out of there without the men noticing me. Finally when on the street I could relax a bit. Not only was I covered with both cloak and hat but they would look for a girl with long hair and an injured eye. I didn't have neither of them anymore. But don't worry, the eyepatch was fake and I simply cut my hair, no biggie.
this was easier than just running away all the time…
I sighed and turned right down an alley, continuing to the docks.
I gried and I gried, unable to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. I was now all alone inside the burning mansion without anywhere to escape. And I was scared.
Suddenly a window exploded and a shadow appeared in the room. A man wearing black with blue eyes glowing in the flames. He quickly kneeled in front of me and extended his hand.
"Ray, will you leave this life behind and follow me?" he asked and even though I didn't understood at the moment what he meant all I knew was that I wanted to say yes. And so I ignored his hand and ran into his arms, tears flowing even more.
"Kai…" I gried as he carried me away from the life I hated.
Minawa: Tell me if you liked the story so far, tell me if you want some romance or if I make Ray a Mary Sue. :)
Ray: Don't you make all your charaters Mary Sue's?
Minawa: ...didn't I tell you to shut up?
