I don't own One Piece.

The story on hand, 'Like cat and dog' is fan-fiction. I wrote it, because I love to write, but I will not use 'Like cat and dog' in any commercial way.

Corrected version (what doesn't mean that there can be mistakes in this story ;-)).

Author's note1: Set between Alabasta and Water7.

Author's note2: 'Like cat and dog' is just about Tashigi's time on the Going-Merry and about her feelings to be too close to Zoro. I do NOT want to write a comprehensive story about Tashigi and Zoro, so prepare for a, perhaps, open end.

Author's note3: I've read (in Wikipedia ;-)) that in the English version of the anime, Kuina was so much hurt that she could never fight again. In the Japanese version of the anime she died by an accident. I've decided to follow the Japanese version. That's important for one or two scenes in the story.

o

The story is anywhere between 'T' and 'M'. I've decided to give 'T', but prepare to read some mature subjects in later chapters.

Please review!

Chapter1

In the chaos that exploded in the sea, all she saw was this huge wave which thundered towards them – and she knew it was their end. Their ship wasn't so bad, marine's ships were built strong in general, but in this moment the ship was nothing more than a thin nutshell. It danced for a few seconds in front of the wave before it disappeared in the wall of water.

When she opened her eyes again she was surprised… to be alive. Then she moaned and her surprise gave place to terrible pain in her right shoulder. She was hurt – but alive, at least. The only other thing she recognized before she lost conscience again was that she lay on a demolished part of the deck of the wrecked ship, lonely and helplessly in the middle of the blue hell, in the middle of the sea.

"Is she alive?"

She wasn't able to open her eyes when she heard the male voice that sounded so familiar to her, but she felt through a mist of pain, confusion and weakness that she was lifted up from the wooden planks.

"She's alive, but hurt badly and really weak," a young voice told, "She needs rest for some days!"

"Chopper, do your best! You must help her!"

Before Tashigi fell unconscious again she realized that the last voice had been the voice of Roronoa Zoro.
