Note: The flashbacks will NOT be in italicize because it will be annoying for me to write it as it would be for readers to read cause some chapters start and end in flashbacks and that there are what I think is more flashbacks than there are present.
I marked flashbacks with bold.
"EX. Flashback. This is a flashback and it is well written."
Please tell me if you like this story :D
Hidden Secrets of One's Past
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Law looked onward to the passing scenery of the surrounding mountains that could be viewed from the window on his side of the train. Law watched them with a very black expression as he gripped the bag strap over his shoulder
"Time for a new start" Law sighed out but when a cloud in the shape of someone he knew within the last year came in to vie, Law showed a sign of emotion by biting his lower lip
'...Luffy'
Law had tears form in the corners of his eyes but he shook them off
'No! Stop this! I have to get away period!' Law thought but when the cloud shape's eyes traveled down to the train and grinned, all the memories of that year flooded his mind and wont leave
Flashback
Law was walking down the hallways of his high school when someone ran around the corner and right into him
"Ow! Itaiiii!" the boy cried out rubbing his sore head as he sat up. It was only then when he noticed that he was sitting on someone who glared in his way
"Would you watch where you're going, better yet, get the hell off of me, idiot" Law practically yelled and the boy looked down flustered
"Sorry... wait" Luffy said looking up confused and them grinned deeply, "You're Trag-Tralar...Law, right?"
"Trafalgar Law. How the hell do you know that? Fuck, get the fuck off of me right now before I-" Law threatened getting angrier that this idiot was STILL on top off him. He was cut off, however, from someone pulling him off.
"Oi, Lu. You don't want to gain enemies on the first day here do you?" The man with green hair asked, still holding a pouting Luffy by the color of his red tank-top. Luffy whined out a 'no' to the green haired man's question.
He sighed and turned to Law who was getting up, "Trafalgar Law... nice to... uh, meet you. Sorry about Luffy here, I'm Roronoa Zoro"
"How do you two know my name? Both of you better answer now if you don't want to wake up tomorrow missing a limb."
Luffy looked to Zoro and Zoro sighed, "We know your name because our old school gave us a list of people to avoid when transferring over here. Includes picture and all. Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kidd, Killer, some others I can't remember... oh and Perona" Zoro said with a slight shiver and Luffy grinned not trying to laugh and Law looked surprised
"They really made a list?" Law asked and as Zoro nodded he smirked, "Wait until I tell the others... though why did they put Perona's name on it? She's annoying sure, but not as bad as the rest"
Luffy chuckled and looked to Zoro to see what he was going to say to that.
"Who knows? We didn't make the list" Zoro said and sighed and pointed to Luffy, "But it's up to this one to go out of the way and directly look for the people on the list"
Luffy puffed out his cheeks, "How boring would it be not to meet these people?"
"Well, I guess you found me then" Law said with a smirk as Zoro glared at Luffy. Then an orange haired lady ran towards them
"Oi! Luffy, Zoro! There you are! We are needed at the-" She started but saw Law and looked shocked
"Is that?" Nami asked and Zoro grabbed her arm and whispered something in her ear, "Oh" Nami said growing angry and hit Luffy and Zoro on the head
"Do you HAVE any idea how complicated things will be now!?"
"Sorry Nami" Luffy and Zoro said in unison like they have done it many times before and Nami sighed
"Whatever" Nami said holding her hand to her head, mumbling something, before turning to Law with a tense smile, "Well, I guess it's nice to meet you Law, I'm Nami" she said and turned to Luffy, "I'll deal with you two later, We are needed right now at the school's office"
"But I want to stay here!" Luffy whined and Zoro looked to him with the harsh 'no' look. Law watched them leave, Luffy looking like someone killed his puppy and sighed
"Well that was weird"
End of Flashback
Law let out a shaky sigh as a tear ran down his cheek. He knew something was off when they met. Fuck! Why couldn't they just told him before anything ever happened? Law's lips curled up in a dull smile as his eyes portrayed a devastated look as more memories came back
Flashback
Law was sitting in class when he saw the door open and the two guts he recently ran into, literally, came in
"Please tell me this is the right room" Luffy said as the two looked somewhat out of breath. Luffy looked slightly amused when Zoro had a scowl on his face. Maybe they got lost on the first day? Perfectly understandable, especially with the labyrinth of this high school.
"Class, these are your new classmates after what happened. Now take your seats" she said harshly and Law rolled his eyes. This lady's a real trip. That was how she was ever since he, Kid and Killer stared this school a couple of years ago. Well at least there was seats available unlike last time. One was located right next to Law and a couple in the back. Law watched as Luffy begged Zoro for something and Zoro was refusing until Luffy's persistence paid off. Zoro walked to the back seat as Luffy happily claimed his seat next to Law.
"Hey Traffy"
"Hey" Law said not really paying attention
"You want to be friends?" Luffy asked with a big grin and Law smirked
"If you really read your little list about us, you must know my answer"
"Luffy smiled, "Then I will not give up. We will be friends, you'll see"
Law looked to Luffy and saw the confidence within those black eyes and smiled. Wait... what? What the hell was that? Why did he smile? Law never smiles for anything. A smirk here and there, and a possible grin, but never a smile. What the hell is this weird feeling?
During class, Luffy was getting bored so he turned to Law
"You know once I-" Luffy started when a rolled up ball of paper was thrown at the back of his head. Luffy turned around to see Zoro glare at him as if he was saying, 'Don't you dare'. Luffy sighed and turned to Law
"Well anyways, so uh-"
"I really don't give a damn. Our parents are paying for us to be in school to learn, to get good jobs. I would rather do that then good off and wasting their money" Law said quietly no one but Luffy heard him and Luffy smiled and shrugged
"Ah, you're right" Luffy said respecting Law's wishes and was quiet throughout the rest of class. Law glanced at Luffy, who kept looking like he wanted to say something. Law gad to admit that he respected that.
When class ended, everyone but Law, Luffy and Zoro left. Law was always the last one out with every class. While packing his things, Law saw Luffy grinning at him
"What?" Law asked putting his things in his backpack and zipping it up
"So Do you want to be friends?" Luffy asked like being quiet when Law asked would be enough and Law rolled his eyes and put his backpack on
" Hell no. Do you think one measly little thing would work just like that?" Law asked irritated as Zoro walked to them both and Luffy looked to the side
"Well because...anyways" Luffy started and looked to Law with a big toothy grin, "How about showing us around the school?"
"Luffy I don't think-" Zoro started and Luffy looked to him with a look Zoro knew
"We got lost because of you. Don't you think we need a tour or something?" Luffy asked and as Zoro glared at him, he turned to Law with a happy grin, "So how about it Traffy?"
"In case you didn't know, it's lunch. The hell I'm not risking not eating my lunch to show some new students I don't even know around" Law said about to leave
"Please? Like you said we're new" Luffy said with an adorable pout and Zoro stepped forward when Law was about to protest
"You don't have any clue who Luffy is" Zoro said and saw Law roll his eyes in the 'Well no duh' way and sighed, "This guy's so persistent that he will get his way eventually. Do us all a favor and show us around. Less of a headache"
Law sighed out and looked to Luffy who was still pouting as his eyes did show persistence. This made him have another strong urge to smile, but his will power was stronger. It did leave the mind-boggling question of 'What the hell is with him today?'
"Since I'm not a fan of headaches, it seems I don't have much of a choice in the matter, do I?" Law said and Luffy hugged him and Law froze
"Yay! You're the best!"
"Let go of me right now if you know what's good for you" Law said in a harsh threatening tone and Luffy get go, but not with a scared look, but a happy one.
"Is there any place, you know, where one could go alone?" Luffy asked and Law looked at him with a raised brow
"Why?" He asked in suspicion and Zoro chuckled
"Sorry for Luffy, he says the first thing to come to his mind. He meant all of us, our friends included, are extremely cautious when it comes to new people" Zoro said
"Says the people who go out of the way to meet people on your list" Law said and Zoro rolled his eyes
"Luffy is actually more cautious than you think." Zoro said looking to Luffy, "I wonder why he wanted to meet the list" he said and Luffy grinned sheepishly
"So you're sort of like me." Law said sighing, "How many more friends do you have?"
"7" Zoro said and Luffy chuckled at seeing the caution flicker in Law's eyes
"But you met Nami earlier. And Franky Brook and Chopper are back at the sh-" Luffy started when Zoro elbowed him, "Our shitty house, shishishi... that only leaves you to meet Sanji, Usopp, Robin"
"Only 4 more..."
"Yeah" Luffy said looking to Law, "That OK?"
Law nodded, "I know I'm going to regret this"
"Shishishi" Luffy said and Law had to admit that he had a really unique laugh, "Come on! Let's go already!"
Zoro looked to Law who sighed and showed them the way. Zoro let out a soft sigh and messaged their friends to meet them there
"Hey Zoro, got your message, this is a nice-" a curly black haired man said looking around the roof until he saw Law and froze, "Wh-what the hell is he doing here!?" he asked pointing to Law
Luffy smiled at Law, "Don't worry about Usopp, he's pretty much a coward with a whole bunch of fun stuff"
"None Taken" Law said feeling the urge to smile at the end of Luffy's statement and was slightly flustered by it as well. Zoro took the very nervous cowardly man over to the other side of the roof. Law saw them talk about something he could obviously not hear, but the look on Usopp's face was that of concern when agreeing with Zoro. Must be about their so called reputation and the list
Soon, the rest of their friends came walking in, not being as shocked or afraid like Usopp since Usopp sent a text about what Zoro forgot to mention. Law's going to be here
"Hi, you must be Trafalgar Law, we read so much about you. It's interesting that you agreed with showing us this place of yours. From what we read, none of you on the list would never agree to show new students around" the black haired lady said holding out her hand, "You can call me Nico Robin, or Robin"
When Law shook her hand, the redhead stood up, "Robin's right, based on the list, we thought you would at the least ignore us" Nami said and Law shrugged
"Well your green haired friend told that it would be a headache waiting to happen if you oppose him" Law said pointing to the grinning Luffy and Nami swear-dropped and smiled irritatedly
"Well... that one is true" Nami said and the blonde, with a cigarette walked to Law and put a had on his shoulder
"I'm Sanji, and I really hope that this idiot didn't cause any direction trouble" Sanji said pointing to Zoro and Zoro growled
"Trying to start something shitty cook!?" Zoro yelled and Sanji glared at him
"How can I start something with someone who obviously gets lost before the fight even begins?"
Zoro gritted his teeth, "If I only had my swords"
"Like you could! I can kick your ass even before you draw your overly long pocket knives!"
"SHUT UP!" Nami yelled and Sanji and Zoro looked to Nami who was really pissed off. Right then, when Law asked a question Zoro and Sanji knew instantly why Nami was mad. They did go too far.
"So does that mean you're a kicker cook and a swordsman?"
"Uh... well, yes. I work as a part time cook a town or so away from here under my foster father who taught me how to use my legs and feet in defense and offense when it comes to fighting" Sanji said and looked to Zoro and shrugged discretely
"And I work part time at a private doujo that only teach the different ways of the sword"
Law smirked, even though he wanted to watch them fight, "That's... interesting"
"...Yeah" Sanji said and Law got a call from his friend, Kid
"Hey... right, be right- OK, I said OK! I'll be right there, Jesus-fucking-christ!" Law said hanging up, "Well it seems you guys have it together here" 'and are too interesting and for some odd reason I want to know them better... wait what?' Law thought and coughed out, "Well, my friend's freaking out, I have to get going"
"Aww..." Luffy pouted then grinned, "You should hang out with us more sometime. You really have not lived until you tried Sanji's cooking"
Law smirked, "Might take you up on that offer" he said leaving
Nami walked to Luffy and hit him on the head hard, "Can you NOT make this any more complicated!?"
"But Nami I-" Luffy said rubbing his head and Zoro walked to him
"For once I agree with Nami, we should not associate ourselves with him"
"ZORO!"
"Luffy. They are right. We know nothing of this Law. It's more on the risky side if we continue to interact with him" Robin said and Luffy looked to her
"But that's not-!"
"It isn't safe" Usopp said and Luffy growled
"Why the hell are you all gaining up on me like that!? That's not fair and I don't care what you say... I like him! You can't stop me from-"
"We know we can't, so you if you can make him, you can be friends with him" Sanji said when lighting up a cigarette and Nami and Usopp were both looking like they were about to complain and Luffy looked way too excided
"But" Sanji said and lifted his cigarette from his mouth and pointed that had to Luffy, "Under no circumstance are you to get too attached to him, we can not have that happen. Period"
Luffy was silent and looked off to the side where no one was and Sanji glared and sighed
"Well I guess you don't want to see him at all" Sanji said and Luffy looked to him panicked
"Alright!" Luffy said quickly and Nami sighed
"We mean it Luffy. We do not need nor want to be more than mere acquaintances" Nami said and hand gestured over to Robin, "Robin's right, it's just too risky
"ALRIGHT!" Luffy huffed out and walked to the raised edge of the roof over-viewing the whole town and smiled, "Can't believe we actually met Law"
Zoro walked to him and nodded, "Met because of a stupid list"
Luffy looked to Zoro and grinned, "Shishishi, why don't we meet the rest listed then?"
Zoro looked to Luffy and laughed. Sanji and Robin were chuckling as Nami and Usopp were yelling about how that wasn't funny at all/ Unknown to them, Law was still near the door, not being seen. Law smirked and began descending the stares
"Nice you see that we have such a reputation here at this shitty school" he said before leaving to find his friends, Killer and Kid.
END of THE BEGINNING
