This is my first fanfic so this is exciting stuff :D Hope you enjoy it! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of One Piece but Katia

Name: Katia Sarellino

Age:18 years

Appearance: 5"4 height, mid back length honey blonde hair, soft oval face, amber eyes, size 12 hips, legs and bum, soft stomach (as in no muscle distinction) and size 34 D breasts (I know her figure is more detailed in its size but I'm doing this so it gives you a better idea)

NOTE: at the beginning she would appear gaunt and run down so she'll have slightly hollowed cheeks making her face look more angular (sharp) and her hip bones and ribs would stick out and thinner legs (Basically she'll look rather ill and I don't mean to cause offence if I do but what an anorexic or bulimic person would stereotypically look like)

Interests: Reading manga and novels, watching anime, weapon design, clothes design and making, singing and sword fighting.

Katia's POV

"I'm sorry to inform you both Mr and Mrs Sarellino, Katia but I regret to inform you Katia is suffering from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis" Dr Mortem, or Dr Post-Mortem as I've taken to calling him in my head since I've been stuck in this hospital for the past 2 weeks, seeing as he looks like death itself. Can you believe that it took them 2 weeks to tell me what the bloody hell is wrong with me, why im dropping pounds like prostitutes spread their legs when im suppose to be like size 12. I mean I'm not…weren't fat just average size I suppose before I got ill and I like my food too much to ever be anorexic or bulimic for it to be that. On top of that I just look and feel dull and so tired, yeah sure I like to sleep a lot but I feel tired even after having my weekend ritual 12 hours sleep as well as being short of breathe and I don't smoke, I run twice a week (im not athletic or anything but like to at least not have stretch marks on me seeing as everything goes to my thighs -.-) and I won't stop coughing!

"What is Idio…what is it?" asks mum. Leave it to not want to bother to say the whole thing. Oh trust me she's not lazy or anything, in fact she's so OCD on the cleanliness of out 4 bedroom house that she cleans it every single day! Thoroughly at that too, it drives me and dad insane but leave it to my 14 year old sister Phillipa to follow in mum's footsteps and be a complete clean freak too. Kiss ass as me and my older brother Ross like to call her. Ross is only my half brother on mum's side but we are so alike you wouldn't even know it, even to the point that he takes the piss about not having to help anymore because he doesn't live with us (he's 26) which is exactly what I would, had the roles been reversed. Oh I better listen Post..I mean Dr Mortem looks like he's going to go into detail…joy. "Would you like the short or the long version?" wow he's actually giving us the option of going brain numb or not "Uhhh short please" and there's dad with his love of simplicity. I suppose he's where I inherit my tendency to get bored easily unless it's something im genuinely interested in.

"Well it is an illness that has the symptoms shortness in breath,..." check "discomfort in the chest,…" check "loss of appetite,…" unfortunately check "unexpected weight loss" check "exhaustion…" check "and also a dry irritating cough" ding ding ding! Correct! You've the jackpot captain obvious! My parents may be a bit oblivious at times but they're not that stupid, me wheezing, not eating as much as I use to and losing a lot of weight isn't exactly rocket science moron! God what I wouldn't give to be able to actually make one of the guns I've designed and shoot him in the foot with (collecting blueprints as well as drawing my own blueprints of weapons, especially guns is a secret hobby of mine that only me, of course, and my computer hacking best friend know of, seeing as its him who get me these blueprints).

"Well then what are you going to do about this illness of mine then doc?" I asked curtly. Mum shot me a disapproving look, of course worried about image (come with the OCD of hers) as always. I don't tend to be worried easily but when the doctor starts looking incredibly uncomfortable with my question, seriously you would of thought I had asked him to sleep with me!, that I started getting worried. "It is..uhhh..curable right…doc?" my voices shakes. He starts to open his mouth to speak and I suddenly get this sinking feeling.

"Well you see the thing is…" the doc started then hesitated. Seriously this is starting to worry me even more "Come on doc what is it! The things is what?" I start panicking. "It' "he mumbles out quickly. I know I tormented him when I was upset but I wasn't that scary so why did he answer as if I would punch him? "Woah doc slow down" I say a bit calmer from my previous tone. He huffs out and breathes in deeply before starting again "The illness…well it terminal there currently isn't any cure or drugs to stop it or hold it off for a long period, it's rare for anyone under 40 to get it, the younger the rarer, and seeing as your quite a bit along in the cycle of it well you have about…" he cuts off. "About what doc, how much longer is there left" my voice starts to shake with tears. I'm terminally ill…im dying… "2 months…I'm very sorry Katia you are only expected to live a bit over 2 more months before you die" Dr Mortem finishes. Mum gasps and starts to cry and dad puts an arm around her with tears in his eyes. I look on in shock, 2 months…2 months is all I have left! Im going to die…this can't be happening, I mean im not afraid of death by no means but…only 2 months and I haven't even got to read One Piece to the end and see what happens or actually make one of the guns I've designed I won't get to go to university to get my degree in teaching children (AN: bet that was unexpected huh? Thought I'd throw that in seeing as she's going to need it being on Luffy's crew with him, Ussop and Chopper :P) or even put the diploma im receiving next week when I have officially passed my child care course to good use. Shit.

That can't be possible…Im going to die.

Well there is the end of the first chapter of my first fanfic –squeal- I hope it was good! :)
