My first story! Its Zolu, SanNa, FraRo, UsoKa, ect. Few random couples, Luffyko! Haha the story is still 'T' rated, but will be 'M' rated eventually.
Chapter 1: Midnight Meetings
It was a calm night. Even in the city, Zoro could see the stars above his head and the waning crescent moon. Occasionally, a car would drive by, nearly blinding the man with its headlights. Other than that, it was completely silent. Zoro had actually expected it to be a little bit louder- he was in the downtown area. It was the quickest way home from kendo practice, and Zoro really just wanted to go to sleep right now.
Ten more minutes to go and he would be home in his bed and asleep- thank god. He would probably be late for school tomorrow but whatever. He never really cared about school.
"Hey! Get back here!" Zoro heard a man's voice from behind him. He ignored it, continuing on his path. There was the sound of a punch, maybe a nose breaking, and a thump, like someone had fallen over.
"Bitch! A girl should learn her place," Another man's voice yelled. There was another punch, but no thump. Footsteps grew louder and louder. It sounded like flip flops. She was getting closer to Zoro.
Zoro was now curious- he couldn't help it. He turned around and saw a girl hurtling towards him, five men on her trail. She had a determined look in her eyes, like she knew she could escape these guys. Or fight them. She didn't seem to notice Zoro even though she stopped only a few feet away from him.
"Damn…" She cursed. "They never give up…"
She turned to the men, and began to fight them. Five on one was unfair but the girl seemed alright on her own. Two more men were down. Soon later, there was only one left standing. The girl had blood on her fist.
"You guys don't know when to give up!" The girl smirked, sticking her tongue out childishly at the man. His black hair shone in the moonlight, and you could see a scar that went across his face. He glared at the girl.
"You're already weak," The man began. "You've lost to much blood, come with us."
The girl scoffed. "I've been running since I was seven, do you think a little blood loss is gonna make me stop, you bastard?"
Zoro was beginning to have the feeling he should not be watching this, but running as far away as possible.
"No, but this might."
Zoro saw it coming before she did. He saw the man's hand move for the pocket of his coat, and he saw the flash of silver in the moonlight.
"Oi! Get out of the way!" Zoro had no idea why he jumped forward, and pulled the girl aside.
The bullet tore through the air, almost missing the black haired girl. It got her in the side, tearing her shirt and leaving a horrible wound. She fell to the ground with Zoro, grasping her side which now had a decent amount of blood flowing out of it. Actually, a lot of blood.
"Tsk.." The man made a move to reload his gun, but Zoro jumped forward, punching the man in the jaw. He instantly dropped the gun.
"You shouldn't make a habit of helping dangerous criminals," The man growled. Zoro glanced at Luffy, who was trying to stay conscious.
"I can't see a girl like that being a criminal," Zoro said. He punched the man again, and the man stumbled back. Another punch and he fell over. Zoro hurried towards Luffy and wrapped her up in his arms. He began to walk away from the scene as fast as possible. "We have to get you to a hospital."
Her eyes widened, and she pushed on his chest. Her bloody hands covered his shirt with her blood.
"No hospital!" She demanded. "I won't go to the hospital."
The words were a struggle for her. She could hardly stay conscious but she was trying. She had lost far too much blood. Zoro had only run a block when she blacked out. She had wounds everywhere! One on her side, one on her leg, and a thousand others. No Hospital? She probably didn't want a doctor. What the hell was he supposed to do with her?
When his alarm clock went off the next day, Zoro woke up instantly. He jumped out of bed and ran to his living room, where he found absolutely nothing. Not a drop of blood or anything. Could it have all been a dream? Zoro laughed at himself and prepared to crawl back into bed. After all, it didn't matter if he missed the first four periods of school right…?
Out of curiosity, his eyes traveled to his laundry hamper where a bloody shirt lay on top.
"EH! IT WASN'T A DREAM!" He exploded. He wondered over to the shirt to investigate and sure enough, the blood was really there.
On his favourite shirt.
Zoro put the shirt down and walked towards the bathroom. On the counter there was the First Aid kit open with a lack of bandages he usually carried.
"Oh God… Where is she then? She shouldn't be walking around with these wounds," Zoro muttered, running through his house. No sign of her.
Oh whatever, he thought, she was just some random girl.
When he was walking back through his kitchen, he saw a piece of paper on the table. He walked over to it and saw that it was a note.
Sorry for the trouble. Thank you for the help.
The note was short, the writing was messy, and the signature was completely illegible. Zoro left the note as it was, and headed for the shower. There was no way he could go back to sleep now.
When Zoro slid into his seat in homeroom, everyone turned to him with wide eyes. Roronoa Zoro had actually showed up for first period. It must be the end of the world. After a few moments, the shock wore off and the class returned to their activities. No one sat near him. He had a complete two desk radius of no people around him in his little corner. People were scared of him or just didn't like him squat. He didn't mind.
Zoro just grumbled and opened his book but didn't read anything. His mind was somewhere else entirely.
"Good morning," The teacher said as she walked through the room. After getting the class settled, she began to take the attendance.
"Roro- Wait he's never here-" The teacher mumbled. The class laughed.
"Here," Zoro announced loudly. The teacher looked up, slightly flushed.
"Roronoa-kun? You're here!" The class laughed even harder. Zoro rolled his eyes and ignored the rest of attendance. Even Ms. Nico got shocked when he showed up to her class. His ears tuned in when attendence ended. "Class, we have a new student."
Everyone went silent. New students were always interesting at Grand Line High. To be teased, used or befriended, everyone was at attention.
"She has never been to school before, so please welcome her," Ms. Nico said. There was a knock on the door and she smiled. She walked over to answer it. "Mr. Sengoku, so this is Luffy? Come on in, Luffy."
The door closed, and Robin led Luffy into the classroom.
"This is Monkey D. Luffy," Robin introduced her. The girl was grinning. She wore only a light sweater and pair of blue shorts and had a straw hat dangling from around her neck. Her short black hair was a complete mess on her head, but it only made her look cuter.
"Hey! I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy said. Zoro stared wide eyes at the girl. It was the exact girl he had met last night!
Luffy's eyes scanned the classroom, not really expecting to find anyone. Her eyes lit up when she saw Zoro sitting in the back corner.
"Luffy, you can pick a seat," Robin told her. Luffy nodded, and began her journey to the back of the classroom. Zoro saw a scar under her eye that he hadn't seen the night before. He also noticed she was limping slightly. It was probably from when she was shot, or cut. Her clothing hid the wounds perfectly. He failed to see how this girl could be a criminal.
A few of the boys wolf whistled, while others tried to push their friends out of their seats to make room for her.
To everyone's surprise, she plopped down next to Zoro. She grinned, he grimaced.
"Hi! I'm Luffy! What's your name?"
"Zoro."
And then, History Class began.
How was it? Please tell me what you think~~:)
