Pirate Shapeshifter Chapter 1: Prolouge, an one piece fanfic

~Description~

Name: Kyla Nindane

Age: 17

Description: She is Tall (About 6"4) with Purpley cobalt hair and Yellow/Amber eyes with Red flecks.

The whole story is in Kyla's POV
The honorfic's in Italics are said scornfully and mockingly

I lay under the blanket and tried to concentrate on my shifting. But I was to weak. Suddenly the door swung open. I looked up expecting to see one of Kaiza's men. But it was a tall and lanky boy wearing a straw hat.

"Who are you?" I asked attempting to make my voice as strong as possible.

"Monkey D. Luffy." He said. As he walked towards me.

"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates." He said, stopping a few feet away from me. I forced myself into a sitting position, something I hadn't done in a long time.

"Stay Away from me!" I said in a loud voice, making me seem stronger than I felt.

"Why?" He asked, holding up his hands and freezing

"Your a Pirate. I hate pirates. Stay away from me." I explained, trying to keep my voice firm.

"Could our doctor treat you. Just so that you can walk. So that we can get out of here. Then we'll leave you alone." He said. I nodded. At least, if his doctor saw me and treated me then I could Shapeshift. I could run and I could be free.

"Fine. But then. I go." I said, glaring at him.

"Chopper!" He shouted.

"We have a patient for you!" He called. I winced at the loud noise and growled in a low tone. I little reindeer fellow wearing a red hat walked in followed by a tall girl with hair and eyes that I recognised.

"Nico-Sama!" I said in a scornful voice

"Kyla-Chan?" She said. I growled again.

"Robin you know her?" Luffy asked, looking from Nico-Sama to me and back again.

"You could say that." I replied, spitting out every word and ended it with a hiss of pain.

"Let me look at that." Said the reindeer, moving closer.

"Stay away."

"Robin you said her name was Kyla yes?" Asked the one in the straw hat. Nico-Sama nodded.

"Kyla. If Chopper treats you, you can leave." I hissed again before nodding in consent. The reindeer moved forward again. This time hesitantly. He looked at my main wound, a large gash across my Torso. He bandaged it up and then from his pack produced a strip of Beef.

"Eat this. It'll give you back your strength." He said, handing it to me carefully. I took it and ate it slowly conscious of everyone watching me. After it was finished, I did actually feel a lot stronger. I smiled and tried once again to Shapeshift. This time it worked. I went straight into my main healing form. A cross between a Fox and a Squirrel (A/N: I stole this from Nausicaä and the valley of the wind. Teto the Fox-Squirrel. Well done to those who recognised this.) I watched as everyone's jaws dropped except for Nico-Sama's. I shifted back and stood.

"Arigatou, Monkey-San. I should repay you. Is their anything I can do for you for rescuing me from this hell hole?" I asked him praying to Kami silently that he didn't ask me to join his crew.

"Join my crew. Do you have any special talents. Other than what you just did?" He asked, a huge grin splitting his face in half

"I'm a musician and a Carpenter type person." I said shrugging. (A/N: No Brooke nor Frankie in this one as I don't really know enough about them to write about them.) Monkey-San grinned.

"Great. We have a musician and a carpenter type person. I'm just gonna warn you. You may have to share a Cabin with Nami. As long as you don't say anything bad about money, tangerines or maps. You should be fine." He assured me. I smiled. This could be very interesting.

I climbed aboard the ship in my Wolf form.

"Captain-San. Why didn't Nami come with you?" I asked, my Amber eye's sparkling in the setting sun

"Simple. She needed to map the island or if we ever return we'll have to re-explore again." He said. This was obviously normal for this 'Nami' person. We walked to the centre of the deck and were met by a tallish girl with short orange hair.

"Welcome back guys. We can leave when your ready. Who's this?" She asked suddenly, noticing me.

"Names Kyla." I said, shifting back. Her eyes suddenly became as wide as saucers.

"What? Do I still have fur?" I asked, patting round my barely covered body.

"You....Were....A....Wolf." She said, grabbing on to the railing.

"Oh sorry. Names Kyla. I'm a Shapeshifter. You must be Nami." I said, smiling at her. She smiled weakly back before looking straight at Captain-San.

"Luffy. Who is she? And what is she doing here?" She asked, now gripping the railing with both hands.

"She's our new musician slash carpenter type person." Replied Captain-San, his huge grin still in place.

"Oh. I see." She replied, looking rather green.

"Don't worry. I don't bite. Much." I said, smiling wolfishly.

"Navigator-San. Maybe you should lie down." I heard Nico-Sama say.

"Who asked you Nico-Sama?" I inquired, spitting out her name with scorn, before growling at her.

"Umm guys. We need to leave. Can we save this. Just for five minutes." I nodded, turning my back on Nico-Sama

"What do you need me to do Captain-San?" I asked, focusing completely.

"Go up to the lookout and tell us if you see anything coming, and in what direction. Nami go with her, to direct us." He said. I nodded.

"Nami. Do you mind if I carry you? It will be quicker and easier." Nami nodded, but looked a bit unsure. I quickly Shifted into a huge Monkey and stood before her.

"Get on then." I said simply, not wanting to unsettle her even more.

"Hold on tight." I commanded, running at the mast and making quick work of shimmying up it. I jumped into the lookout and released her to the floor, before climbing up to the top of the pole then Shifting back into the Fox-Squirrel as that had the best eyesight.

We had been travelling for about two hours now and I still hadn't moved.

"Nami, Kyla. Dinners ready." I heard a Male shout up. I smiled before jumping. About half way down I Shifted into a flying Squirrel and glided to the ground, before Shifting back just as I landed.

"Wow!" Said the blond male, dropping the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Umm. You dropped something." I said, smiling falsely at him. He bent down to get it, not taking his eyes off me.

"Your...Kyla?" He asked, his eyes widening.

"Correct." I said, before Shifting into a Wolf

"And I'm Kyla." I shifted into the Fox-Squirrel

"And so am I." I Shifted back to Human.

"But. Mainly. I'm Kyla. Pleased to meet you, Now can I eat you?" I asked, using a common greeting for me

"My name is Sanji, I'm the cook and may I just say, you look particularly beautiful Kyla-Chwan." He said, bowing at the waist, smiling up at me.

"Nice to meet you Sanji-San. And please. Just Kyla." I said, smiling back at him, my smile still not real.

"As you wish Kyla. The dining room is this way. If you want any dish with meat in it I would advise you hurry." He said. I smiled to myself, a proper smile this time before Shifting into a Wolf.

"This is faster." I said, bounding across the deck in two strides. I entered to door that Sanji-San had pointed to and stopped in front of a big table, laden with food. I Shifted back and stood, unsure of where to sit.

"Kyla. Could you play something for us after you've eaten?" Asked Captain-San, stuffing his face full of meat.

"Just hand me some of the meat, let me eat that then I'll be fine." I said, holding out my hand. A man with green hair tossed me a piece. Almost without looking I caught. I sat on the floor where I was standing and eat the meat in silence. It was gone pretty quickly, but by the time I had finished Nami and Nico-Sama had arrived.

"Right. I'm done Captain-San. Where do you want me?" I asked, standing.

"There!" He replied, pointing to a raised platform at the head of the table. I sighed, walking towards it. This was gonna be awkward enough. Ah well

"This one. I wrote a while ago. I apologise if its a bit rusty." I said, smiling down at my eating audience

"SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out

A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry

I've been devoting myself to you

Monday to Monday and

Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution

or decent incentives to keep me at it
I'm starting to feel just a little abused

like a coffee machine in an office
So I'm gonna go somewhere closer

to get me a lover and tell you all about it

There's a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

Sitting across a bar staring right at her prey
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student

To locate the single man, I've got on me a special radar
And the fire department hotline

Just in case I get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divas

or rich city guys, I just want to enjoy
By having a very good time and

behave very bad in the arms of a boy

There's a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out

There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe"

I bowed, looking up to find everyone's mouths open

"What?" I asked, cocking my head to one side

"Blimey." Said Nami, the first one to recover

"Nice find Luffy." She said before turning to me

"Can you sing a soft one. Before we all go to bed?" She asked, her brown eyes looking at me so innocently

"Sure. Like a lullaby?" She nodded.

"O.K. Then."

"Mom,
please tell me what to do,
I'm so disappointed in you,
You said those words that made me cry,
And you always wondered why,
why I sing my lullaby,

Mom,
please hurry home to me,
I waited up so patiently,
You sit down and you start to cry,
But you never ask me why,
Why I sing my lullaby,
Why I sing my lullaby,

Was it my fault they lead you in the wrong direction,
Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection,
I show you when I start to cry,
still you always wonder why,
why I sing my lullaby

Mom why love me if your cold,
You'll just get bitter then grow old,
Ask me when I start to weep,
Then I'll tell you in my sleep, Why I sing my lullaby

Mom why love me if your cold,
You'll just get bitter then grow old,
Ask me when I start to weep,
Then I'll tell you in my sleep, Why I sing my lullaby"

I stood down from the raised platform and walked out of the dining room. I climbed back up the mast and sat in the lookout, just gazing at the sky. The sun wasn't quite setting yet so the sky wasn't red but it wasn't blue either. I smiled as I gazed out over the calm expanse of water, letting it settle my soul in such a way that has not been done since I was locked up. Maybe being here wouldn't be so bad. It probably wouldn't be brilliant but it probably wouldn't be that bad either. I heard someone leave the dining room, but ignored it. I was staying up here, leaning with my back against the mast, facing out towards the front of the ship, just gazing at the water. I heard the female, I could tell because of the footsteps, approach the mast. She stopped and I didn't hear anything else after that other than someone heave themselves into the lookout

"Kyla?" I heard Nami said

"Hai Nami?" I asked, twisting my head to see her in a heap on the floor.

"Could you give me a hand?" She asked in a deflated voice. I stood and helped her up before re-seating myself in my previous position. Nami sat next to me and for a few minutes we were silent.

"Nami. I don't mean to offend you but, What exactly are you doing up here?" I asked, as subtle as a brick as per usual.

"I...wanted to know a bit more about you. Your a bit of an enigma." She admitted.

"There's not much to know. I grew up travelling with an old man, ended up eating a Devils fruit and when I refused to be a weapon I was sold, and then you found me. That's about it really." I said, my gaze returning to the ever darkening sky.

"Look Kyla. I'll make you a deal. If I give you some facts on what my life was like you will do the same for me. O.K.?" She asked, not taking my answer

"Lets see. Nami. Grew up in Coco Village near Arlong park. Eight years before joining this crew you joined Arlong's since he killed your stepmother. He didn't plan on letting you go at all but Luffy defeated him and you have been with him ever since." I said, rattling off the facts almost as quickly as I had said my own.

"How did you know all that?" She asked, staring at me with wide eyes.

"I worked with Arlong for a bit. I recognised you as soon as I saw you, but you never saw me there so I didn't bother to mention it just in case the rest of your crew distrusted me for it." I said shrugging.

"O.K. Then Nami. You want to know about me. I'll do YOU a deal. You let me write songs about you and not complain about them then I will tell you a little bit more about me every night. Now. If you don't mind. I'm going to bed." I said before Shifting into a Wolf and curling up.

"I thought you said you were going to bed?" She asked, her voice sounding very confused

"I am." I stated, wriggling a bit to try and get comfy

"But... Your..."

"Good night Nami." I cut in, before falling asleep.

Emziiee-xxx: Well??? Whaddya think??? I just have a few things to say and its the only time I'm saying them.

1) I do not own One Piece and never will
2) This is Femslash.
