Heya minna! So... This thing I wrote here is mostly for *o0Golden-Moon0o* :3

BUT!

It's also for everyone who will read this (A.N. AND chaptys~) since it's written here ^^

The flow is after Ace was going to be executed ( T.T ) butthen Shanks came to stop the war... You know... Epic reunion with Buggy~senchō and all O.o (*| laughing maniacally thinking about it ^*.*^~ |*)

Disclaimer: I don't own OnePiece and blablabla. (And neither this Hotel Transylvania reference ^^)

Well... To the Story!

A stray Cat arrived

Shanks P.O.V.

He sighed. 'Why the hell do strange things only happen to me?' he thought. Even since he heard that Ace had been captured, he had been sailing non-stop, to attempt reaching Marineford in time for... 'What? I knew the first time I saw Luffy I'd have it rough, so... Did I want to save Ace? Or Luffy? Or...'

And now he was in his quiet (or not so) room in his boat, looking at the sea through his big window at the back of the ship. He had done a good job, "stealing" the spanish galleon from that stupid and weak El Toro, captain of the... *Whatever* Pirates. As always his men were being loud, this time annoyingly.

He was sitting on the chair near his desk, wondering when the bookshelf above would finally collapse because of all the books he put there. He also wondering if they would ever reach their island at this rate... They would have to buy stronger boost-shells when they passed Mermaid Island. AND sake, along with some sweets from the factory. Just some though, around threehundred and fortyeight...

He sighed again, turning his head to face the double size bed in the corner of the room. The red satin covers he had 'got' from the ships' owner were messily spread on the floor, while the other white sheets were stained with blood.

He thought about what happened before at Marineford, still trying (since he was a blockhead) to get the pieces together (because he was a blockhead), thought there was something he knew he couldn't grasp yet.

"Ne, it's been a while, hasn't it Buggy?" Shanks grinned.

"That wasn't a treasure map! You tricked me! And I even brought that Mughiwara his stupid hat!"

"Now now, we've just met again, don't be so angry, my old na-ka-ma~".

While Buggy was shouting at him about something as always, he looked at the immersing yellow submarine.

'Hm~ What a convenient boat you have there, Trafalgar... Law... " he thought, his eyes were covered by a shadow.

Then he smirked.

'I'll remember you... You seem quite an interesting fellow, ' he stated while grinning widely. 'And I think you'll cause some havoc. You helped Luffy afterall... You're likely to be involved now!' he laughed, thinking about the poor Hearts Pirates' captains' fate.

He had appeared at the right time, bringing Luffy, Jimbey and the bleeding-to-death Ace in his infirmary, along with the Hikennos' saviour who had then fainted.

Weak huh...

But maybe not so much.

'He seemed to be able to use a very strong Haki, and the Emperors none the less, blocking even Akainu three centimeters before his lava first could strike Ace... All by raising a finger! What the hell...' Shanks thought.

.

.

.

He shut his eyes closed, and tried to think why the Haki user was in his bed, (his blood stained bed) hopingly sleeping and not dead. His bed. Shanks was pretty much sure the boy had been taken by Law, and he had placed a viewing/recording den den mushi in Luffys' hat, that would settle in a ceiling corner once in the infirmary.

He had seen it all.

The Captains' ability to cut people up without them dying. He still had to understand if the Surgeon of Death enjoyed the sadistic part of it or if he used it only in a medical way... He doubt that though. Then he had seen the unconscious Ace and Luffy strapped to the infirmary beds, struggling to brake free even when sedated while Jimbey watched over them with blood being transfused in him. He had also seen the other boy, and the impossible happen when the Doctor approached him with the intention of sectioning him to see the damage.

He had lifted the same finger as with Akainu, seemed to have mumbled something, turned on himself in midair and... Disappeared with a loud cracking noise. All seeming unconscious. And then... Came from the ceiling smashing to the ground of his room. He could still see the cracks on the wood of the floor. When it happened, Shanks was laying on his bed watching through the screen den den mushi, still confused at what happened, when he heard the noise of the impact, and turned his head towards the bookshelf, thinking it had collapsed.

Then, seeing it intact, he summed it up and got off the bed, saw the FireFirsts' rescuer laying on his back with a pained expression and saw a line of blood too, coming out his mouth and some red came slowly from under his back, following the cracks his body had created. Shanks didn't know what to do... He was an intruder afterall! But had saved Ace from a terrible death right after he had been rescued and Luffy from a likely possible mental breakdown because of that. And was injured and (hopefully) incapable of harm. Anyway, Shanks was sure he could handle him.

So he opted for the second choice, which prevented him from using his bed till the first laundry of the will-be -soaked-in-blood sheets. So he had placed the boy on his bed, trying to clean some blood off him, but stopped seeing his shirt was stuck to his back because of the injury.

He hoped that all the blood wasn't his, and was grateful seeing some already dry and probably from Aces' injuries. Shanks decided to lay him with his back opposite to the mattress, so he wouldn't suffer. Then he settled on the chair next to his desk, watching him for any suspicious moves.

The-Other-Guy P.O.V

After some hours, he woke up. Trying to turn on his back, he felt a dull pain running through his back muscles, and instantly stopped. He then pushed on his arms to get up, and found himself sitting in a bed, with white sheets stained by a dark scarlet colour. It looked like blood, and maybe it was. He was afraid to move, certain he would cause harm to himself and his surroundings. So he took in the room he was in.

It was a large one, a framed door in the middle of the wooden wall opposite to the back wall behind the bed. Along that wall and left to the bed there was a night table with a candle lamp, while a gigantic coloured window occupied most of the remaining wall. To his right there was the wall, and where it met the doors' wall there was a chest of drawers with what seemed sheets and clothes. Clothes... He looked instantly to the opposite and last wall and saw a desk with a bottle and an empty glass, a bookshelf towering over the table. And a man sitting on the chair, his head resting on his right hand, the elbow on the back of the chair. Watching him. With a grin.

He raised his index, and mentally ordered the unknown red haired to stay put. But the man instead got up, poured himself a glass of something, drank it and grinned again.

He had red hair, plus three cuts on his left eye. His eyes... They were black as coal, and lured him, instantly making him trust worthy. But also dangerous.

"So, who are you? I'm 'Red Haired' Shanks." he continued grinning. "I often get that reaction, but don't worry, I won't hurt you, boy.". Now the boy could guess where the nickname came from.

'Shanks...' He liked that name. And it didn't seem surnames counted here... Where?.

"..." he hesitated a bit, then finally answered.

"I'm Harry. Harry... Evans Snape." Harry decided.

So... I hoped you liked it! Further on I'll explain the Harry/Haki thing and all, so be patient~

Plus!

This was meant as a OneShot, but I think I'll do one or two more chapters because I wanted this half cliffy~

Hikenno: nickname of Ace, means FireFirst

Mughiwara: Straw hat (com'n, you MUST know that! O.o)

Senchō: captain *

*When I write the ' ō ' , read it as the jap. pronunciation (a mix of 'o' & 'u' ), kay?

Bye, see you in the next chapty~ ^^*

(PS: thanks to NozomiNoShinigami for the correction. If you find Kikenno instead of Hikenno tell me, kay?)
