This is my second story and my first just isn't doing it for me right now.
In Honor of these amazing girl scout cookies (Why the fuck are they so good? IDK!) And some amazing brain storming from me I have come up with a new story! THIS story! Lol I hope you enjoy it cause I know i'll enjoy writing it!
FIRST of all I just wanna say that this is a lot different from what I normally write because I just wanted to be strange! So just as a warning...i made Nami and Luffy switch genders cause I thought it would be fun! None of the other characters switch genders...
I Don't own anything...except the characters I might just throw in there for fun! Lol =) No one has devil fruit powers...YET...IDk if I want them to have them yet. NOTE: FISHMEN ARE ONY A LITTLE STRONGER THAN HUMANS!
Summary: GENDER SWITCH! Nami is the new guy at school who gets all the girls attention upon arrival. He somehow knows Zoro and has a bloody past with many secrets. Luffy gets mad thinking the new guy is going to take HER best friend away but...She can't resist Nami's charm or can she? LOL! =)
And now...it begins...*smirk*
Chapter 1: Past life vs. New life
Staggering to my feet, I took at all the carnage around me that I had caused. Bloody bodies lay on the ground scattered all around the warehouse. If not for the eventual rise and fall of their chests, you would think they were all dead. Not that the bastards didn't deserve it. They had got everything that was coming to them and then some. There were only a few things left to do before I get the hell out of here and never looked back.
Walking to the center of the building I stopped at the feet of the only one left conscious. He was huffing, trying to catch his breath, no doubt trying to get enough breath to say something 'brilliant'. I looked around him to make sure no weapons were anywhere near his hands. When I was satisfied to see none, I walked over and grabbed one out of his subordinates limp hands. The smell of blood and oil hit me as I straitened.
Wrinkling my nose I blocked out the smell as best I could. Striding back over to the bulking person, if you can call him that, I was standing over before I stopped and stared, waiting for him to look at me. When he finally did I smiled a friendly smile and slammed the lead pipe in my hand across his arm three times. The blood leaking from my head, over one of my eyes, soaked into my shirt. He screamed a blood curling scream and finally stopped. His arm was broken. Well, it was broken before I hit it those three times but I just wanted to make sure he never used his arm again or at least for a long time.
He stared up at me with pure hate in his eyes. He would not break down and beg like the others and I somehow liked and expected it. He had never given me mercy when I was little and I would not give him any now. I had to wonder if he ever thought the little boy he took that day would one day ruin his life. Well, he probably expected someone to off his sorry ass sooner or later. Catching enough breath to talk he glared up at me when he finally spoke.
"I always knew...it would be by your hands that I would lose everything. I never should have...taken you that day...But I saw the potential...and look at you now...standing over me...ready to make the final blow...the look in your eyes...my protege...hahaha...Nami..." He rasped in his nasally voice. The nickname I had gone by since childhood slipping from his bloodied lips. On the inside I grew furious and did nothing to keep the look off my face. That is the name my adopted mother had given me as a baby because of my attitude. The Full name was Tsunami because my attitude was as big as a Tsunami. She had shortened it and it had stuck.
"I'm not your protege and you have no right to call me that!" I screamed at the end. "Arlong...I'm leaving and never coming back...but first I had to get rid of all that which has prevented me from leaving...and now here you are...here you all are...on the ground beaten and bloodied by a 17 year old kid. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I've waited for this day...oh, how i've waited...for this day. I bid my time for five years and it finally paid off. I've replayed over and over again what happened when we first met. Do you remember the day we met, Arlong? Cause I sure do. I'll never forget that day! The worst day of my FUCKING LIFE!" I yelled after I was done taunting him.
~Flashback~
"Bellemere! Look! The ocean looks beautiful!" Shouted Nojiko as she raced passed me and Vivi, her twin sister. I sometimes feel lonely that I'm the one left out but Bellemere is a good mom and I take care of my sisters even if we aren't blood related. Bellemere and Genzo shook their heads with grins on their faces.
The day was perfectly bright and warm. It felt like it was shining just for us. The smell of salt water was strong in the air and the ocean looked beautiful. The beach was almost empty. It was like this place was just for us.
We had come to the beach after much prodding from my sisters. So on Bellemere's day off we went to the beach. I hadn't been in a good mood because my best friend moved away a month ago and I think that's why Bellemere had finally relented and brought us all to the beach with Genzo, her best friend.
Bellemere worked long hours as a cop and always complained about her boss until a year ago when he moved to the biggest city around. She always said he was a hard ass but she liked him and could always count on him. She always told me to call him if anything ever happened to us or her. But nothing could happen to Bellemere cause she is strong and no one can hurt her. She loved her job and was a good cop. Nojiko wanted to follow her and be a cop one day. Bellemere always said if I didn't straiten up one day Nojiko or herself would have to take me in but I always just laughed at her and told them to just try and catch me.
"Nami, aren't you going to get into the water?" Bellemere asked, waking me from my thoughts.
"No." Was my flat and automatic reply. My face was completely devoid of emotion and I knew it caused Bellemere to worry but I couldn't help it. I missed my best friend and I was getting tired of everything. Things had just started to bother me lately and I couldn't help it.
Bellemere and Genzo frowned and looked at each other, worry written on their faces. They had never met Zoro but I had always talked about him. So they knew how much I missed him. Bellemere looked at me smiling with a twinkle in her eye.
"Want some ice cream Nami?" She said sweetly. I looked her strait in the eye when someone walked bye and I stole their wallet out of their pocket without them knowing and without looking away from Bellemere. I waved it around just to annoy her. To show her how easy it was to take someones money.
"No, I've got enough money right here." I said turning around to walk to the ice cream stand. I felt someones eyes burning me with their intensity before I felt the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. Bellemere grabbed me by the back of the neck and spun me around to face her. It felt like someone was still staring at me but I shrugged off the feeling. The only people around were my family and a couple of huge dudes in hawaiian shirts. The person I had stolen from was already out of sight and Genzo had went for a walk around the beach when Bellemere had asked me about ice cream.
"NAMI! How dare you do that! You know better and I know i've taught you better that that young man! Why would you even do that in front of me? You know what I would have done!" Bellemere yelled at me while she shook me. She didn't get that I wanted her to be angry with me so I had an outlet for my anger and sadness.
"Why do you even care? Your now my mom and you never will be! You love Nojiko and Vivi more anyway! You had them since they were babies! You adopted me when I was five! Just send me back if you don't like what I do!" A sting on my cheek was the first thing I felt as head flew to the side. My hand immediately went to my cheek and I looked at Bellemere in disbelief.
'I know thats not as hard as you can slap!' I thought in my head as I looked into her furious eyes. I regretted what I said and she knew it. We had been through this so may times lately that it was normal. I knew what she wanted to say but wouldn't. I knew she loved me. She had told me that the first time this had happened. She had said it to may times already and even told me we wouldn't have this conversation again. I sighed a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry Bellemere, you know I didn't mean anything I said. I just miss Zoro. I'll take this to the lost and found. I'm sorry I did it anyway. I just needed someone to slap some sense into me. I'm glad you're my mom and I always will be. You mean the world to me...you and my sisters. You're my family and I will always take care of you. I know I need to clean up my act because I'm the man of the house and I'm trying. I'll do better from now on. Will you forgive me...mom?" I looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes. I knew exactly why she was crying. That was the first time I had ever called her mom. My piercing brown eyes stared into hers as I took her into my arms and hugged her. Soon I would be taller than her instead of to her shoulder.
"Of course I forgive you. Just never so that again ok? You worry me sometimes. You will always be my little boy and I will always love you and your sisters the exact the same way. It doesn't matter that none of us are related by blood. You are all my babies." I could feel her smiling. I could just feel it. I pulled back and looked at her. The tears were still trailing down her face so I brought my hands up and wiped away her tears.
"Well, if that wasn't ever a touching scene." A voice said from behind me. I turned around to see one of the guys in the hawaiian shirts. The other was in a car waiting for this guy the door open like he just got out of it. I remember this guy from somewhere...isn't this guy...on...Bellemere's...top bad guys list?
I looked to Bellemere to see her as white as a ghost looking at this guy. Yep, defiantly on the list...he doesn't look like such a bad ass though... Then I remembered. Bellemere had left her gun at home...so if this guy did anything...what could she do...
"Arlong...What do you want?" She said curtly. Obviously not pleased to see one of the guys they couldn't get anything on to be able to put him in prison.
"I was just noticing...this boys...talent...with a little training he could...be a great thief..." He trailed off looking at me.
"Stay away from my son you son of a bitch! You will never touch him!" She hissed pushing me behind her like a mother lioness protecting her cubs.
"Listen bitch, you should know I always get what I want and what I want is him." He said reaching for me as if to take me away with him.
Bellemere hissed at him and lunged at him. She hit him in the stomach a few times, until he bent over, then kneed him in the face. She cried out though as she was only hurting herself on his hard skin. She wasn't strong enough and her punches weren't very hard as she was a girl and she never trained in hand to hand combat very much. He was a fish-man and his skin was a little harder than humans so it protected him. The only way to kill him would be to shoot him, stab him or beat him to death with a blunt object.
Her cry caught the attention of my sisters and I heard them gasp from behind us but I didn't turn away. I just yelled for them to stay back.
He grabbed her arm as she went to punch him and with his strength, broke it. But he didn't just stop there. While she was screaming in pain he used his strength to break it many more times. I watched in horror as her arm started to turn an ugly shade of purple in may places. She crumpled to the ground panting, trying to catch her breath when I finally got my senses back. As quick as lightning I was by Arlong. I drew my arm back and punched him as hard as my 12 year old body would let me. Arlong let out a startled and pained gasp as she flew back and landed on his butt.
He grunted as he got up but I didn't care. My hand was in so much pain and it was bleeding profusely. It was broken, I could tell immediately. I looked up as I heard someone stop in front of me only to get a fist to the side of the face. I flew to the side and landed bye Bellemere. I gasped in pain. That was the hardest hit I had ever taken.
"I want you even more now boy. That hit was actually really good. Don't worry, you'll get a lot stronger with the training I'll give you. You'll be a good tool only at my disposal. But first...i have to get rid of this...obstacle." He said looking at me. I didn't quite grasp what he said because I was in so much pain but Bellemere obviously did because she got up and stood in front of me. Her arm at her side, didn't move at all. It just laid at her side uselessly.
Arlong took out his gun and aimed it at her forehead as I struggled to my feet. I stood a little bit behind her and started to make my way towards him when her arm in front of me stopped me. "I'll give you your last words." Arlong said bemused.
She looked at me with love in her eyes telling me so may things with just her eyes, then she turned to face Arlong again.
"Nami...take care of your sisters...I love you..." She whispered to me as she stared at the barrel of the gun. A defining gun shot went through the air as time seemed to slow and Bellemere's body slowly started to fall to the ground. Blood splattered all over my face and body as I just stood there when my mother was killed.
The screams of my sisters was the only things I heard. Everything else was just background noise. I stared at my mother's body as blood started to pool around her. She was...dead... I turned around really fast. I couldn't look at her anymore. She wouldn't want me to see her like that.
"DON'T LOOK!" I yelled at my sisters. They cried harder as they turned around and hugged each other for dear life. Tears were streaming down my face but I let them fall silently. I started to make my way to them when Arlong grabbed my arm and turned me around only to grab me by my throat.
"Did you think I would just let you go? No, you're mine now. HAHAHAHAHA." He looked at my sisters.
"Now what to do with you two...i could always train you...to make me money. You could be...prostitutes." He grinned evilly at them making them tremble.
"DON'T TOUCH THEM! YOU WANT ME! I'LL GO WITH YOU WILLINGLY BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH THEM!" I screamed in fear for my sweet little sisters. He got an even more sinister grin on his face and I realized I had said exactly what he had wanted me to.
"Fine, I won't touch them. I'll just use them as hostages if you ever try to run away. I saw a man with you...I'll just leave you two here for him. But you are coming with me." He said as he turned around and started to walk to the car.
"NAMI!" My two horrified girls screamed. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't be able to see their tear stained faces. I wish I could turn off my ears so I wouldn't have to hear their pleads for me to be released and shouts at Bellemere to wake up to save me.
"Nojiko, Vivi, Nami!" Yelled Genzo's voice. I opened my eyes to see him running over with a horrified expression on his face. I can only imagine what he was seeing. His best friend and secret crush dead on the ground, her two girls on the ground crying and her son being choked by an unknown person, taken away. Our eyes caught and held for a moment before I was thrown into the car, cutting my view of everything off.
"GENZO!" I heard my sisters scream before the door was closed and all sound was cut off.
"Drive" Was Arlong's simple order. I sat up and looked out the window as the car started to move away. I watched as my sisters ran to Genzo and Genzo holding them to him while he watched the car drive away. At first I wondered why he didn't check on Bellemere but then I remembered...there isn't much you can do for the dead...you can only help the living... I watched them until I could no longer see them and then I closed my eyes.
We drove for what seemed like hours but was only half an hour. He drug me out of the car and pulled me into a tattoo shop.
"You are part of my gang now. You will do what I say when I say it. I am your master. If you don't do what I say or try to run I will kill those two girls. You will live with me and the gang. You may go visit your sisters only when I say you can and if you're good I might let you stay with them a couple nights. I will let you continue to go to school as a part of a cover. No one would think a 12 year old boy was working for me...this is perfect..." He said to me in a matter a fact tone.
He ripped off my shirt and threw me into the chair. The tattoo artist just looked at him.
"Put my mark on his shoulder blade." He told him. The tattoo artist just nodded.
The entire time I was being tattooed I couldn't stop thinking about my sisters...and especially Bellemere. I couldn't even feel it. The only think I could feel was my swelling cheek and hand and...nothing else...it's like...everything except those two things was numb.
When the tattoo was done he bandaged it and I got up. I looked around for my shirt but it lay in shreds on the floor so I just followed him out into the car. After a little driving we stopped again but before we could get out of the car I looked him strait in the eye and he paused.
"One day you'll pay for what you've done." I said softly. He just laughed at me like he thought it was a joke. He didn't know how dead serious I was.
"Welcome home kid." He said. I looked around. This wasn't my home. It was my hell.
~End Flashback~
I was so caught up in emotion for a minute that I didn't hear the person behind me until they were a few steps away. I turned around quickly to see who was behind me. A sharp pain went through my right upper arm as I kicked him in the gut, then hit him over the head with the lead pipe in my hand. After he hit the ground, with a thud and didn't move, I grabbed just below where all the pain was. Looking at my arm and the knife sticking out of it I let out a strangled gasp. I had never been stabbed before, sliced with I knife sure but never stabbed and I knew this was going to hurt.
I pulled the knife out and let it clatter to the ground. I grabbed the wound and tried to stop the bleeding. I ripped off the bottom of my shirt and tied it around the wound to stop the blood flow. I must look like a bloody mess. He had stabbed me right below where I had just gotten my new tattoo. I guess you could say I got rid of one to get another. I tugged off the stained and bloodied while shirt so I was only in a black wife beater.
A spiral tattoo started at the end of my right forearm going all the way up to behind my right shoulder, stopping right before it touched what was left of the mostly laser-ed off tattoo that claimed me as one of Arlong's goons. Where the knife had been lodged was a break in the spiral tattoo that left a circle that was recently filled with a wolf paw print tattoo. Right below that was now a gaping wound that was covered by the quickly reddening cloth.
I spun around to face Arlong as he let out a laugh.
"Getting careless kid. Go ahead. Kill me...get your revenge."
"No." Arlong looked at me like I was crazy and maybe I was.
"I won't kill you. Bellemere wouldn't have wanted me to become a murderer just because of your stupid ass. I can't...I won't disappoint Bellemere. I'm just going to leave you to your fate."
"What are you gonna do kid? Run? I'll find you and kill your sisters then take you back."
"No, I'm gonna let the cops take care of you." I said simply.
"You won't do that kid. You would be put in prison for your criminal activities and wouldn't be able to take care of your sisters. You're just as guilty as we are." He said and then started to laugh. I hit him on his broken arm five more times. Breaking what was left of his arm. His arm was discolored on his blue skin and it was laying uselessly at his side.
"That is where you're wrong Arlong. You remember that my mom was a cop right? Well, she always told me to call her old friend Garp if I ever needed help. He had heard everything from Genzo and was working to find me when I called him from the burn phone I found in Bellemere's room after you dropped me off at my house to say goodbye to my sisters and explain everything to them. I called him and told him everything, hoping that he would be able to help me." I smiled.
"He did. He convinced me to help him out though and to help me get my revenge for Bellemere. He talked me into staying to help bring you down. You had never made a mistake. Never been at any of the deals you made. Never had the blood on your hands when someone was killed. So I waited and waited until last week when you told me you were coming here to oversee things here. That's when I would finally make my move and now here we are. You really shouldn't have taught me how to fight. Now all I have to do is call it in and cops will be here in less than five minutes and do you know what they'll find?" I said raising my arms with difficulty and gestured around us as I looked around.
"Piles and piles of cocaine. Over the years I've written down all the dirty things you have done and even recorded some of them. I've been handing them to Genzo, who got them to Garp. Now all I have to do is text two letters to this phone...but I won't do that until I leave so don't worry. After this I'll start a new life in a new place. Your presence in my life will be completely erased. I'll be free." I said with conviction. Arlong laughed.
"Not completely little one. I will always exist on your body. My mark will always be on you. You will always belong to me. You will never be free." Arlong exclaimed. I could only smile as I turned around and lifted my shirt until he could see what remained of his mark on me. I let my shirt fall, as I heard the gasp leave him, and turned around.
"No, Arlong. I don't belong to you and I am free. I've been getting this mark laser-ed off for the past month. One more time and it will be completely gone. Now to make sure you don't escape while I get out of here..." I said as I raised the pipe in my hand. I brought it down on his right leg until it was exactly like his arm, ignoring the screams. After I was done with his right I moved on to his left until it was like the other. Then I went around all of his subordinates until both of their legs were all broken. You call it overkill. I call it being prepared. Finally I made my way back to Arlong. He looked like he was going to pass out from the intense pain I had caused him. I looked at him one more time before hitting him over the head knocking him into unconsciousness.
I made my way to the door when I stopped and said in a low voice.
"Hatchan, you can come out now."
I Fish-man with six arms stepped out slowly. Looking at me fearfully. I looked at him and then started to walk away slowly.
"Get away while you can. I know you were forced to be here like me and hated it. You were always kinder than the others so I will show you mercy...today. The next time I see you...if you try anything...I will beat you within an inch of your life. Even if you were kinder than the others you still did stuff to wrong me. You are kind so use that kindness to help others. You owe me your life...and one day I will collect." I said stopping and giving him a sinister look to get my point across. He nodded and ran away. I slowly turned around and walked out of the warehouse and out of my old life.
As soon as I was out of site of the warehouse I stumbled and fell to my knees in pain. I Crawled over to a bench and leaned against it trying to get enough strength to stand up. Pulling the burn phone out of my pocket I flipped it open and typed it one word.
go. I sent it and sat there for a second. Then got up and staggered to a nearby park about six blocks away. I could hear the sirens as I sat down in the shadows with my back pressed against a tree facing away from the action going on behind me.
I pulled out my regular phone and hit speed dial one and put in on speaker phone. I set it down next to me and went to tie my shirt tighter around my arm. After two rings it was picked up.
"Nami?...Is it done? A-Are you ok?" The beautiful voice of my little sister asked worriedly.
"Yeah, it's done...I'm a little worse for wear though. I don't think I can make it home. Can you come and get me? I'm at the park six blocks from Arlong Park Warehouse. I need you guy to bring the first-aid kit to bandage me up. We're leaving tonight. Genzo has everything set up for us in our new home right? We sent him there a week ago with all of our things so I hope everything is ok. Have you heard from him?" I asked as I started to pant from exhaustion.
"Yeah, everything is set up for our arrival. He told you not to worry about your precious bike. The movers didn't scratch the paint job like you thought they would. Are you sure you want to go tonight? I mean if you're hurt..." She trailed off. I sighed and then gasped in pain as I moved the wrong way. I must have a bruised, fractured or broken rib somewhere.
"Get Vivi now! Grab the rest of our stuff and put it in the car. Then come and get me. Vivi will have to help me on the road. I need...you...to...get here fast...I've been stabbed..." I trailed of panting. I would only let them hear the pain in my voice because they were family. I heard a gasp and then it sounded like she dropped the phone. I could here screaming and banging around and then Nojiko picked up the phone again.
"We're on our way."
"Good, I'm in the shadows behind a tree...I can't walk any farther." I said weakly.
"Hold on." She said then hung up the phone.
I sat there a little bit until I couldn't stand it any longer and turned to see what was going on at the warehouse. There were fifteen cop cars surrounding the place and Arlong's crew were being dragged out unconscious or barely there. Looking closer I saw a huge guy with gray hair standing with his back facing me. It looked like he was in charge. I watched as he took out a phone, typed something in and then put the phone to his ear. It caught me by surprise when my burn phone started to ring. I looked back at the man and realized that it was Garp. The man who was responsible for saving my life. I had never met the man but I wanted to.
I let the phone ring a couple more times before answering it with a strong voice. You could detect no pain in my voice...or so I hoped.
"Yes?"
"Where are you? I'm at the warehouse. Are you ok? You did a number on these guys kid."
"They got what they deserved. Look, I need to start over right now...me and my sisters...but one day... one day I wanna thank you in person for all that you've done for me..." I finished emotions I was trying to hide taking over my voice.
"Think nothing of it kid. I didn't help you, you helped yourself." He said immediately. I teared up but refused to let the tears fall.
"One day we will meet. When you're ready, you'll find me kid. Take care of yourself...and your sisters."
"I will. Take care Garp."
"Leave the burn phone somewhere and I'll find it and get rid of it for you."
"Ok, I gotta go. Bye, and thanks." I said really fast and then shut my phone before he could say anything else. I leaned against the tree and slowly I started to lose consciousness. Before I blacked out I put the burn phone on the ground by the pool of blood that was pooling around me.
What seemed like seconds later I was woken by my name being called.
"Nami!" I heard both of my sisters call.
"Here." I said in a semi loud voice. I heard running in my direction but I didn't open my eyes. I hurt too much.
"NAMI!" my sisters said in unison gasps of shock. I groaned but opened my eyes to see the faces of my worried sisters.
"Help me to the car and then you can help me there Vivi. The cops are close." I grunted out.
They helped me to my feet and I forced myself not to scream. They set me down in the back of the big van that we would never be caught dead in. I would enjoy getting rid of this piece of shit when everything was over. Nojiko started to drive away and Vivi was at my side starting to look me over.
"Drive to our new city, our new home." I said loud enough for Nojiko to here.
Vivi busied herself with cutting my shirt off. She gasped when it was finally off but held her tongue until she was done treating my wounds. The car was silent except for the sound of Vivi moving around and her or my gasps.
She took my shirt off from around my arm and proceeded to clean the wound. She sprayed a sealing spray onto my arm to stop the bleeding and then bandaged my arm. Next she moved on to my head. I had a gash just below my hair line that she cleaned and sprayed and then butterfly bandaged. She washed all the blood from my head that had spread over my eye and down my front.
My orange hair must have been stained with blood. I must have looked like total shit. I sighed. I hope this didn't effect my good looks cause that's how I always got what I wanted. I looked down at my body and couldn't repress yet another sigh. It would take at least a week to lose all that bruising. My perfect six pack couldn't be shown off...SIGH...
"You better not be sighing because your looks got messed up for a little while." Nojiko said from the front. I stayed silent knowing I had been caught. She snorted, "Geez." She said shaking her head at my antics.
"Well, sorry my beautiful blue haired ladies but this is how I get what I want." I said rolling my eyes. Nojiko snorted again but remained silent. I looked at her as best I could from my vantage point. A tattoo started from her right arm and stopped at her left shoulder. In the middle was a heart, right above her breasts...WAIT...when did she get breasts? Great. I'm gonna have ta beat the boys off with a stick. I looked at Vivi and groaned. I'm gonna have to beat a lot of boys with sticks.
Vivi, thinking she had hurt me, apologized immediately. She started to check my ribs one by one. When she reached my sixth rib I let out pained wail but she kept feeling it. Finally when she was done with that she had me sit up so she could rap my chest and entire torso pretty much. My right arm was rapped almost covering my entire arm. She set me back down and I sighed in relief.
"He has a gash on his head, a stab wound on his arm, three bruised rib, bruises all over his body, and scabbed fists. Surprisingly enough, his face has nothing wrong with it except the cut and that is covered by his unmanageable hair that somehow even now stays perfect." Vivi told us.
"YES!" I yelled but then whimpered in pain.
"Unbelievable." Nojiko said as she shook her head and loosened her grip she had on the steering wheel.
"How long till we get there?" I asked.
"We'll be there in four hours so around 12:30 in the morning. Vivi and I will be going to school but we made sure you started a week after us because we knew you would be in bad shape." Was Nojiko's reply.
"Gee, thanks." I said in a sarcastic way.
"Really, rest tomorrow."
"Ok, geez." I said...but then thought about all the boys who would hit on my sisters and groaned. I was so tired...i would just kill them later...Soon I would be home and I wouldn't complain no matter how bad it was. With the money I got from the things I stole for Arlong the house it buys should be pretty good though.
"Oh, yeah. Nami there's something we have to tell you about the house and Genzo..." Nojiko's voice trailed off as I started to black out. Whatever it was could surely wait till tomorrow right? It couldn't be THAT bad...Right?
The last thing I heard before I passed out was something softly spoken that I had to strain to hear.
"Oh, well. He'll find out tomorrow. It's his future not mine."
Shit...
I will seriously NEVER write a chapter this long ever again!
