A/NWell… this is my first fan fiction ever so there will probably be some mistakes/errors to it. Also, I'm open to reviews, but keep it on the positive side. Since I'm going to be on vacation next week I'll try to make this a long first chapter, and I'll try to write a lot over the vacation but I won't have internet connection to post them. Also, I'm a guy… writing from a girl's perspective… so don't rage if I fail to pin their (terrifying) inner thoughts correctly.

Disclaimer thingy-stuff – I don't own One Piece and all that…. I hope.

'Tick…Tock…' Cara checked her watch for the third time that afternoon. She had been out of a job for a couple weeks now and when she saw the opening as a secretary and Enies Lobby, she figured 'Why not? Being a secretary must not be too hard, I mean, I can alphabetize and answer calls. What could go wrong anyways?' She couldn't have been in for a bigger shock.

When she entered the waiting room for her interview, this weird guy with a really long nose sat her down at a table. "Before I introduce you to the rest of the crew." – He smiled begrudgingly "We'll need you to swear an oath of secrecy so that if you were to decline the job offer- should you be accepted- that you will not inform anyone of this company's real identity. Is this okay?"

Cara's insides churned uneasily; suddenly she wasn't so keen on that 'What could go wrong?' aspect of life. "Sure…. I mean I guess there's no backing out now"- she chuckled nervously.

The man laughed, flashing a row a sterling white teeth "Great! I think you'll get along well. By the way, my name's Kaku, I'll probably be the best person to talk to should you have any problems with the company." His hand came up from his side offering a hand shake.

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Cara." She accepted his handshake taking note of how the seemingly gently man had such calloused hands.

"The pleasure is mine. Now for the sake of time, the will act as your 'Oath of Secrecy'"- He grinned wide "I'll go inform the others and we'll bring you in in say, 20 minutes, Okay?"

"That'll be fine"- she let out a relieved smile, at least they weren't the uptight pricks she was normally dealing with.

The Kaku guy stood up, grinned once more and exited quickly to a room on her right. As soon as she heard the door click shut she let out a loud sigh, luckily she would know one friendly face when she went into the interview. While the time silently passed by though, she got more and more nervous, she checked her hair, contemplated what she could have done better, and made sure there weren't any wrinkles in her skirt and blouse. In short, she was freaking out, big time, 'What's up with this Secrecy thing'-she thought 'I wonder what they could be hiding, maybe they're drug dealers? Nah that Kaku guy is way too nice to be a criminal. I guess only time will tell now.'

But ever so slowly, as the time passed, she began to slouch more and more into her chair until her head was nearly when her hips had been when she began, when the door on her right opened with a loud click. Cara immediately yelped and scrambled to get into a much more reasonable position. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck. There goes my orderly appearance.' –she thought as her façade of neatness and manners crumbled.

Kaku glanced at her with one raised eyebrow, grinned wider than she thought possible and said "Well, at least you aren't as boring as you looked"

Cara didn't know whether to be red with anger at the 'Boring' comment or glad that things hadn't gone worse. Deciding how much she needed this job, she stood up smoother her attire once more flashed Kaku a smile and stepped into the room.

She almost forgot to breathe as she saw the deciding force behind her job. No wonder Kaku laughed at her slouching, as she glanced around the room she inwardly sighed in despair, there were three people in the room aside from her and Kaku. At the head of the table sat a man wearing a black suit with a little pigeon on his shoulder to his right sat a man that seemed to be the polar opposite of the first, this man wore pajama pants and a top, both decorated with little wolves chasing after sheep. At the moment the man appeared to be sleeping, if the growing bubble coming from his nose was any hint. And finally, on the left sat a tall lady with shoulder length blonde hair. Cara's eyes nearly burst from her sockets at the lady's attire, from the pants that would make practically no difference if they had just been left off, to the fishnets covering majority of her torso, legs, and arms. 'This is going to be a day to tell stories about'- she thought as she sat uncertainly at the opposite side of the table.

Cara almost jumped out her seat though when Kaku went over to the sleeping man's form, raised his leg, and slammed it back down onto the man's head. An audible crack could be heard throughout the room, at first Cara thought it had come from the sleeping man's skull being crushed into oblivion and was about to bolt from the room, until she heard an angry grumble coming from the debris and saw the man stand up to face Kaku, pure fire leaking out of his eyes as he growled "Kaku, is the any reason as to why you fucking woke me from one of my happy drea-" He stopped as he glanced around and saw Cara. For a moment the entire room was silent then, the man breathed in quietly "I see… Apologies for the disruption ma'am." as he glanced at her again and sat down.

"Well, now that everyone's ready let's get this over with." Kaku took a seat in between Cara and the originally sleeping man. Kaku smiled warmly "First off, let's get through introductions and explanations." The man at the head of the table raised an eyebrow but said nothing." First off I'll introduce you to everyone, the man that was so rudely sleeping (Kaku sent a glare at him) is Jyabura. He's a pain but it'll grow on you… like the deadly disease it is. Next off is Lucci the other male in this room." Said man remained silent still (something that was started to annoy her) and tipped his hat slightly. "And the lady on is left goes by Kalifa."

"Sexual Harassment"- she said with a wink in her eye as she turned towards Cara, smiled slightly and waved.

"Now for the explaining," Kaku said with that omnipresent grin "As you may have guessed we are no ordinary company, we are a group of assassins hired by the world government to manage pirates in a more discreet manner. Our group goes by the name of CP9 or cipher pol 9. We have all gone through rigorous training and are rivaled by very few on the grand line. Before you get any paler than you already are and start looking for possible exits like majority of our interviewees, we are only hired to go after PIRATES, not innocent-or at least I hope- civilians. If you thought we would try to bring you harm, it would have already been done."-The Jyabura guy winced slightly at Kaku's brutal honesty.

"Okay! Now that that's done with, let's get on with the actual interview. Each of us will introduce ourselves and then ask a question about you. Try to answer as best you can, even if it makes you uncomfortable, these questions will help us determine whether or not to hire you. For the sake of comfort, I'll begin, first of all, I'm Kaku, I am a zoan devil's fruit user that allows me the powers of a giraffe. For my question I would like to know, where are you from?"

"Well, to begin, my name is Cara to those I haven't met, and to answer your question, I am from the island of LogueTown. Due to the increasing amount of pirates assaulting my home on the way to the Grand Line, when I was 19 I hopped onto one of the merchant ships heading to the Grand Line in order to obtain some peace of mind. And I've been here ever since"- She smiled a bit and turned her face towards her next interrogator, the man named Jyabura.

"Welp… I'm Jyabura, I have the devil's fruit zoan power of the wolf, basically the same as Kaku 'cept with wolves and what not. My question is towards your hobbies."-Cara took note as to the fact that the man refused to make eye contact with her and was constantly twiddling his thumbs, but said nothing about it.

"My hobbies would probably include reading, sun-bathing, playing cello (A/N- Cellist here and I just couldn't resist :P) and swimming."-Cara replied, wondering how hobbies affected how likely she was to get a job, but just went with it, glancing at the next man (Lucci was his name if she remembered correctly).

"My name is Lucci… this is Hattori… Yea, that's about it"- With the same monotonous voice all throughout. 'At least he's talking now' she thought with an inward chuckle, noticing how Kaku was glaring daggers at Lucci's seemingly apathetic face.

"Last but not least, I'm Kalifa, I'm the force that's keeping this group together until we get an actual secretary considering how cooking is like calculus to these guys and can't even make a cup of coffee right. "- She smiled briefly before looking to Kaku and asking "Are we done? Considering how she's the only one that hasn't bolted on us while 'going to the bathroom' I think she's the best we'll find"

"I Believe you're right on this one, so" turning to Cara Kaku smiled "Do you want the job?"

Cara almost visibly inflated at hearing this news, but somehow managed to keep her calm and replied coolly "I don't see anything too abnormal about this soo…. Sure why not."

At hearing this Jyabura's head jerked up and he smiled for the first time that evening –"Great! We prefer to have our employees living in CP9 headquarters I'll show you where the rooms are, you can pick any, as long as no one's using them"- He grinned.

Cara stood up to shake hands with Kaku while turning to Jyabura "That would be fantastic."

A/N – 2 hours later an im done with the first form of creative writing that wasn't forced on me in quite a long time. Sorry I couldn't make the chapter longer after a certain point, I started spacing out in between every 3 sentences :D and it got really tiring so, I'll pick back up on this in a day or two and try to at least post one more chapter before I go on vacation but i'm going to wait and see how this first goes.
