I do not own OP or any of it's characters or even the idea of throwing your own character into a story to make fanfiction. The only thing i own is Cha Kokoro, unless somebody thought of her first for which case I'm borrowing without permission like with everything else. Don't worry I'll return everything when I'm done^^
"Shut up Cha." My brother grumbled. I giggled pinching his cheeks even though he was older than me.
"You can't even keep up with my grades?" I teased him. "No not even that, how do you get an F minus in PE?" I giggled at him. "All you have to do is dress everyday and you can get away with a D plus. If you participate you can get a C easily! How do you get an F-? really now Tai-nii-chan." I pulled on his cheeks teasingly.
"Shut up Cha!! just because I don't have straight A's" he grumbled.
"Who cares if I have A's or not! You don't even have a C average! Come on Tai are you even trying?" I asked with a laugh. "Mom's gonna flip!"
"Don't you dare tell her!" My brother growled.
"I don't have to, once she sees my grades she's gonna wanna see yours." I tell him.
"Well don't show her your grades then!" he huffed.
"No way! I get paid for getting A's. Forty bucks each. That means she now owes me $240 why the hell would I not show her my grades? I like money! You know though, she'd pay you too, if you even just got a C. Lucky bastard, I have to get A's to get money." I grumbled.
"Shaddap kid you're annoying." he snapped pushing at my shoulder. I shoved back following him out to the back yard.
"I could always tutor you." I tell him.
"You're younger than me!!" he yelled.
"But I skipped a few grades remember?! Anyway, what are you gonna do about college, do you even have all of your credits yet? And besides that, are they really going to let you graduate with so many F's under your belt? I think two is the limit." I said holding up two fingers.
"I know!" he snapped. "Besides, I already landed a job as a mechanic, I don't need college." he told me.
"Bah, you're stupid. If you go to college you have a better chance of getting a well paying job. I'm gonna be rich when I grow up! Have a huge house out in the country, retire in in my forties, go horse riding everyday, and live in peaceful solitude, away from the humans and at one with nature...." I sigh dreamily.
"You are so naïve." Tai snorted.
"Shut up!"
"Do you really think everything Is going to go as planned like that?" he asked me in amusement.
"Absolutely not. But I can dream right? I just hope I don't end up with some dumb desk job in the future. Actually, I was thinking about joining the marines once I was out of school. I'd have a bit of college under my belt but only because I still have to wait two years until I'm eighteen." I tell him. I was sixteen going on seventeen, but already I was a senior like my eighteen year old brother.
"You wouldn't last one second in the Marines." he told me.
"What's your problem? You weren't this much of a jerk before. F-student." I mocked him angrily. He glared at me.
"well sor-ry miss perfect." he snorted. "Why don't you go sit in your room let down you hair and wait for prince charming?" he suggested mockingly.
"Fuck You! You're a real ass you know that? But maybe if you'd just try every once in a while, people wouldn't hate you so much. You don't have to be perfect Tai, you just have to try. Make an effort at your grades, make an effort to make friends. But no, everything is too pointless for you isn't it? Everyone is too stupid for you aren't they? F-student. I hope mom really goes to town on your ass." I growl at him.
"Will you shut up about my grades?!" he yelled shoving my chest, my eyes widened as I flung out my arms to try and keep my balance, but was falling anyway. He crossed his arms glaring smugly at me as I fell backwards into the pool.
"Jerk!" I yelled before I hit the water, fully clothed. I clamped my eye shut, and closed my mouth holding my breath. I didn't want to open my eyes because the chlorine would sting. It wasn't a big deal but it was still annoying. I gasp losing all my air as my head cracked against the side of the pool. I'd been pushed in by the corner, and I guess I'd been too close to the wall. I kicked out swimming to the surface my lungs burning as I tried not to choke on the water already in them so I could avoid taking in more. I kicked hard, but I must not have fell too hard since I found no purchase at the bottom of the pool, ignoring how my head stung and my clothes that were trying drag me back down, ridiculously heavy now that they were water logged I finally broke the surface, and sputtered out the water in my burning lungs, coughing even as I took in great gulps of air.
"Hey! Jack-! ass......." I trailed off, looking around in shock. I was surrounded by water. Now this might not have been such a strange thing if the edges of the pool been in sight, but they weren't. As it were, I had either hit my head really hard on the pool wall and was dreaming this while unconscious and drowning or I had some managed to teleport straight from my pool to the middle of the ocean....
I really really hope I just hit my head a little too hard, I thought while treading water. My watter logged clothes were ridiculously heavy, and I'd somehow lost both of my shoes when I had swam for the surface, but none of this could be helped I supposed, and if it was a dream then I'd probably be fine anyway. Slowly I turned around in the water, taking in my surroundings. Based on what I could see, if I was not dreaming then this was very very bad. There was no land in sight, only water everywhere I turned, sea water of the ocean. And I couldn't really swim anywhere because I might be unwittingly taking myself farther and farther out to sea. I would either drown or starve to death or both. Already I was growing tired from the constant movement to stay afloat.
I jerked awake and upright with a start, then put one hand over my heart, very cliché for after a nightmare, but I couldn't help it. It was pounding so ferociously, I'd really been freaking out even if I had seemed clam. But of course it was a dream. I think to myself, because after all how could I go from my pool to the middle of the ocean?
I looked around me though in slight confusion, was I in the guest room or something? Obviously I wasn't in the hospital, so falling unconscious must not have been so bad, but I was thoroughly confused, because I didn't recognize this room at all. I must be at my brothers friends house or something. I think scratching my head, there were two beds in the room, a hammock off to the side. I was gravely confused but I suppose it wasn't anything to worry about, everything was fine now. I got up stretching slightly, and balked when I noticed I wasn't in my clothes. Then shook my head,
"Relax Cha," I told myself, "you couldn't stay soaking wet could you? This is probably his girlfriends place and she changed you." I told myself before walking over to the mirror to see if I looked too terrible. But upon looking into the mirror I let out a blood curdling scream.
Footsteps thudded over head and soon the room was flooded with people.
"Tactician-san?" asked one woman but I wasn't paying attention, pointing to my reflection in horror.
"What is it? What's wrong my sweet?" asked a blond worriedly.
"My, my, my hair." I croaked out, and that wasn't even the worst of it, I was completely different! My hair was snow white, as if I might be an old lady. My skin pale as the moon, my gorgeous tan gone. My lips full though they hadn't been far off to begin with, but he natural red ruby hue was gone. I was proud of those lips! My bright green eyes had been replaced with pale ice blue ones. And did I mention my white hair? It used to be such a lush cherry red! I had been a girl full of color and proud of it! Now I was like a ghost, everything white white white! The most color on my person was my pale pink flower petal lips, and the blue eyes so pale they might as well have been white, the color was only just discernible.
"What do you mean Tactician-san?" the woman asked in confusion.
"what do you mean what do I mean?!" I cried out. "You can't tell me this appearance is normal!!" I cried out. You see, the paleness was not the only change, my once normal ears now stood atop my head, triangular and fuzzy. White cat-ears. My tail flicked beside me on the floor.
"My hair is white and I'm a fricken Neko!!!" I screamed.
"You mean that's not normal?" the woman looked at me in surprise.
"How is this normal?!?" I shrieked at her.
"Cool!!!" one guy laughed, a straw hat on his head, black hair and a scar below one eye.
"No it is not cool!!!" I yelled jumping to my feat. "It is not cool at all!!!" I yelled at him angrily.
"What the hell is going on?!" I demand crossing my arms over my chest, my tail, ugh tail, flicking behind me angrily.
"You don't remember either Tactician-san?" the woman asked me looking a little sad.
"Remember what?!" I demand, "the last place I was, was in the middle of the ocean! And thank you for saving me and all, but if you did some freaky experiment that made me like this I'll kick your ass!" I growled at her. Yes saving me. Because of course I had by now realized I was on a ship, the constant rocking and creaking of the wood was a dead give away, let alone the hammock that obviously acted as an extera bed in this room.
"I didn't do anything tactician-san." the woman said gravely. "I thought you were always like that." she told me.
"Always like this? Is this a joke? Were the hell are we anyway? And what's this Tactician-san?!" I demand of her, cooling off slightly from the yelling, but still vastly confused and trying not to freak out, from my pool to the ocean to this boat full of strangers.
"Yes." said the blond man, "I was wondering the same thing as well, what exactly is going on here?" he asked her.
"This is difficult." the woman said with a sigh. "It seems none of you remember anything." she said.
"Wait, before you go explaining." I interrupt her. "Lets get some names first shall we? I'm Cha Kokoro." I tell them.
"Hai nice to meet you cha-chwan!!" the blond said with a heart in his vissable eye, as his hair covered the other. Is that normal? I think cocking my head to the side, since when do people's eyes become hearts? That's a cartoon characteristic, wait a second... I froze stiffly as they introduced themselves one by one, some more hesitantly than the others, like Nami for example. She was really nervous. This whole place was, animated. I realized, and their names were painfully familiar.
"and I am Robin." the woman said gravely. I studied her appearance then paled, or at least as much as I could since I was already as white as the sheets practically.
"Robin?" I asked her. "as in Nico Robin by any chance?" I asked her.
"Ah." she nodded at me.
"And you're Luffy?" I asked the boy with the straw hat. "Monkey D. Luffy?" I asked him.
"Yep! I'm gonna be pirate king!" he announced for the second time with a proud grin.
"Oh hell." I gasped before promptly fainting.
