This is my first fic so do go a little easy on me. I had this story in my head for a while just found the courage to post it. :) so without further ado...I don't own One Piece or any of the characters

. . .

There she lay facing the ceiling with her back against the lumpy mattress, sitting up exposing her chest Nami looked over to her client who was finally out for the night. Finding this as a chance to leave, the young woman gathered her clothes and placed them to their rightful place on her and started to search for the man's wallet. Taking the money that was earned by her and taking a bit extra, she cleaned him out. Tying her long orange hair and she was out the door. Turning the corner of the hallway Nami had hit something hard, taking a few steps back, holding her nose and looked up to see a man in a suit glaring down at her. "Why don't you watch were you are going next time" Nami yelled. As she walked past him she bumped her shoulder into him. The man just looked at her before realizing he had went the wrong way.

. . .

The next day Nami had been walking the, soon to be, empty halls of Red Line College looking at the wallet she had picked pocketed from the man that bumped into her the night before. Surprisingly there were plenty of Bellies in the mans wallet to the point where she wouldn't have to worry about "surveying" clients for a week. When she passed one of the classes she was stopped by a few other students running into the room joining the crowed of girls already in there. Nami stopped before they ran into each other and turned her heard to the side to see her blue friend in the crowed as well. "Nami!" her friend ViVi came rushing over to her. "Have you seen the guy waiting outside the gates?" Nami had thought ViVi had a little to much excitement in her voice.

"No I was actually on my way to-" before she could finish ViVi was dragging her by the hand towards the window. Pushing her way through the crowed so they could get better look, ViVi had let go of Nami's had when they had reached the front of the crowed. To Nami's horror it was the man from the hallway.

How did he find her?

Did he follow her?

All the girls seem to be swooing over him, but no one dared approach him. "ViVi let's go home the back way today."Nami stated trying to cover the terror in her voice. Her friend had looked at her confused.

"But the back way is two miles longer" ViVi complained. Nami could be strange at times. Always leaving school early, never telling her best friend where she worked so ViVi could visit her. What kind of restaurant would force a college student to leave school early. Didn't they have enough waitresses to cover until Nami was out of school. Whatever the reasoning may be Nami always kept up with school work and managed decent grades. "Alright we'll go the back way." her friend caved.

"Can we please leave now, before it gets any later. We don't want some creep talking to us in the dark right." Before ViVi had a chance to say anything Nami was dragging her friend away from the window.

"We never got this way, so why now?"

"Well I just thought we could use the fresh air. You know avoid the stuffy train. It's flu season you know, so the less contact we have with other people the better." Her reasoning seemed odd, but ViVi let it go.

The next day the same thing, the man would stand outside the school and the girls took the long way. It had gone like that for a week. While ViVi missed out on the man a few girls had built up enough courage to talk with him, which was met with deadly glares causing them to be sent on their way frightened.

. . .

The had finally ended, but ViVi left immediately after her last class had ended even thought the girls promised to go home together. Nami was left by herself.

"She's actually talking to him."

"More like at him, the guy is good looking, but can't even give a reply to even a simple question. Like he is dumb or something."

"Poor girl, I read that if a guy gets annoyed he will lash out." Normally Nami would leave it up to someone else to rescue the next victim, but in such case, the poor girl was Vivi. That had done it for Nami, if he was looking for her she would give herself up. No way in hell would she let Vivi get put in harms way. Reaching the gates of the school finding Vivi talking at the man. He looked up from Vivi and seeing Nami he immediately recognized her. He stood up straighter "-and she got her foot stuck in a gopher hole" leaving a smile on ViVi's face Nami reached them with a scowl on hers. "Oh Nami this is ...uhhhh Mr. Bushido, he's looking for someone that robbed him." After she had finished speaking Mr. Bushido grabbed Nami's harm and reached for her bag, in seconds it was in his possession.

"Hey you can't just do that to a lady you brute!" Before she could get a hold of the bag he dumped it on to the ground. Looking at the contents on the ground he spotted the black square . He reached for it, but was a second to late. He looked up to see Nami holding it. "How dare you treat a young lady in such manners and as payment you have to treat Vivi and I to dinner on Saturday."

With a rough voice and a hand through his hair "Fine." and reached his hand out to retrieve is stolen wallet. But was stopped short.

"Just for insurance I'll be keeping your wallet just in case you try to get out of this." She said with a sly smile. Grumbling under his breath he walked over to his car and opened he back door. Nami smiled and pulled Vivi along. After the door was closed Vivi pulled on Nami.

"Are you sure this is okay? What if he tries to hurt us or worse sell us?"

"Relax, my boss takes very good care of his employees. Arlong wouldn't let anything happen to his best "waitress." No sooner had she finished when a phone was tossed in the back letting them know the man had joined them in the car.

"If you want to go home type in an address."

"Vivi you have practice right? Maybe you should go first."

"Yeah I do, why don't you spend the night that way we don't get separated."

"I wish, but my sister needs me tonight. Sorry." With a worried look Vivi relented and typed in her address. After an hour of yelling street directions they finally made it to ViVi's estate.
