This is my first published story. I hope to keep it going without long breaks in between each chapter. So let us begin!

Chapter 1: Lost in Your World

"…Marvelous, Marvelous, *clap* Ironman"

The seats quickly filed out, only a few people staying back in the large church. I turned to my friend, an embarrassed look on my face.

"Do we really have to come to every service for this? People look at us weird 'cause they know we're part of the originals," I started to hiss.

She only laughed. "Don't worry about it, Vi. It's just because you aren't used to people staring or you still don't really believe in the religion, isn't it?"

I grumbled. "So what? I can't help being me and I never used to really believe in any higher being…"

"Let's go!" she grabbed my arm and pulled me. I almost tripped at her suddenness.

"Hey! Slow down, Dai!"

She tugged us out into her car and took us to her house. I slumped in my seat. Daiyu was a little eccentric, to be kind. She constantly calls herself crazy- sorry, I meant insane. She prefers insane. I, on the other hand, am usually the quiet one. I follow her around a lot to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. We're basically sisters.

When we reached Dai's house, she ran upstairs and brought out our favorite movies to watch. We loved the classics- who doesn't?- and they also made perfect background noise. She slipped in one of our most watched dvds and then turned to me.

"So, what's up? You seem a little out of it today."

She also knew me better than anyone else. I sighed. "The usual: too much worrying over useless stuff. It would be nice to let it all go away for once and just relax." I saw the look she gave me. "And no, there is no guy."

"Aww… Come on. I thought you said you liked someone. Don't tell me you're still avoiding guys because of your ex." She puckered her brow.

"No- yes- I don't know!" I sighed heavily. "I'll figure it out some other time. It's not like it'll get any worse or better anytime soon. Come on, let's talk about something happier."

"Hm… Well, the Avengology group has quite a few new members. Which reminds me, why don't you wear your Thor cape or carry your Mjolnir around while we're there?"

Yeah, you heard right. I am part of a religion that my friends had created. And I am part of the original group, so I have a character, which just happens to be Thor. "I don't see you wearing anything special while we're there, Miss Black Widow." I stuck my tongue out at her. Thor and Black Widow as best friends? To use one of my favorite phrases, who'd a thunk?

It started to get late, so we moved our stuff to get ready for bed. We had a fold out couch, and I think it's one of the best inventions ever made. After all, it's super comfy and just cool. We talked about anything and everything before falling asleep.

I groaned when I woke. It was still too early to get up, but I had the weird feeling that I needed to. I slowly got up and looked around. Crap! Where'd Daiyu go? I walked around the house before noticing her at the table.

"Hey, what's up? Why are you up so early?"

She smiled lightly. "I could ask you the same thing." She paused and sighed. "Dreams are strange sometimes…"

I nodded. "Actually, I had a weird dream too… And I bet it's because we always talk about One Piece!" I stuck my tongue out. "Again, how many times do I need to dream about them, and why are they always doing something strange? From the look on your face, I'd guess you had a dream about them too."

Dai laughed loudly. "You read my mind! I thought I was supposed to be able to read yours, not the other way around!"

We laughed a little. It always seemed like she knew what I was thinking. It didn't help that we used to show up to school wearing the same colored shirts- I swear it was never planned. We also seemed to have dreams about the One Piece characters, which I believe is because we always talk about it.

It was only seven in the morning and Daiyu had a cup of coffee. I stuck out my tongue. "Do you actually like that stuff? I think it smells bad."

"There's nothing wrong with it!" she tried to sound angry, but we ended up laughing at each other instead. Her kitchen was fairly large. Ever since she moved out of her parent's house and into one of her own, she's started hanging her favorite items around the house. For example, there's a katana that hangs on the wall in the kitchen. Some many think that's kinda strange, but I love the sword. It has a beautiful black hilt and a lustrous sheath. There are also a few daggers hanging with it- why she loves them, I don't know, but she IS Black Widow.

She saw me looking at the weapons. "Let's fight! I mean a fake one."

I laughed at her. "Of course you do. I knew that."

I lightly pulled the katana off the wall and she grabbed a couple of the daggers, after sticking an extra one in her pocket. "What? It's just in case I lose one from my hands," she said innocently. I shook my head with a smile.

We pretended to stand in our own separate stances. She jumped forward with a yell and I lifted my katana to block. I pushed back, forcing her to move away and circle me. I giggled lightly; it was fun to have our pretend fights. This time I stepped forward, careful not to swing too hard or fast. She slid my sword away with one dagger and moved in to attack with the other. I swung down and around, catching the hilt.

"You got some new moves, I see."

I laughed. "So do you."

We continued for a couple minutes before sitting down. Well, I sat down and she wandered off towards the deck. It connected to the living room, so I wasn't too worried about following her.

That's when I heard a yell. I jumped up and ran to the deck. Daiyu was leaning over the railing looking amazed. "Wow! Look at this, Violet!"

A long black tendril reached up and grabbed her, pulling her down. I screamed and tried to grab her, my fingers barely touching the edge of her shirt before she fell into a black hole. I was shocked and frozen until I noticed another tendril reaching for me. I jerked away from the railing, falling on my back. I pulled myself into the house before it wrapped around my leg. "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!"

I grabbed the hilt of the katana lying in front of me and swung at the black mass. It cut apart, releasing me, but two more tendrils grabbed my arms. I couldn't get away, no matter how hard I pulled and it dropped me into the hole. Well shit. Ironman save her, Odin help me…

I heard a small pop and my vision flooded with light. I closed my eyes and felt myself falling. I let out a yell and landed heavily on my wrist. "Crap… It hurts…" I squeezed my eyes shut at the pain.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I was staring at a blue sky. "What the hell? Wasn't it supposed to rain today?" I mumbled to myself. I looked around to see I was lying on a deck. And if that wasn't confusing enough, Dai was lying beside me, face down.

"Oh shit! Dai! Dai! Are you okay?" I was more than a little worried.

Her eyes slowly fluttered open. She began to laugh, lifting herself up so she was sitting. "Oh my god, that was awesome!"

I sighed. Of course she would think it was fun. I was glad she wasn't hurt though, I didn't think I'd be able to do much with only one hand. I cradled my other wrist and looked around more carefully. That's when I noticed the mast.

"Dai… Where are we?"

She turned her head quickly. "Wha- oh." She titled her head slightly before clapping her hands together. "It looks like a pirate ship!"

"Who the fuck are you?"

I froze at a man's deep voice. I lifted my head towards the sound and my eyes widened. An overly tall, fire-headed man was glaring at us. He must have heard me and Dai talking. It was silent for a few more moments while I was still trying to process the information.

Daiyu was faster. "Are you Kid?"

He snarled, "Answer my fucking question."

"Holy shit, you really are tall." She only paused for a moment. "Why do you wear lipstick? How does your hair stand up like that? Can I see your knife? And have you ever had a rela-"

I covered her mouth with my good hand. "What the hell are you doing?" I hissed. "He could kill us in a moment and you'll just make him angrier!"

Kid glared at us for a little longer before stomping forward. He pulled on Dai's long hair, ripping her upwards. "Who the hell are you to ask me questions?" He shook her slightly. "So how about you tell me who the fuck you are!"

I scrambled so that I was standing next to her. "I- We- We're Daiyu and Violet," my voice squeaked. "And w-we have no idea what happened. Something pulled us in here."

I was almost trembling. I hid it as best as I could, I didn't want him to have the satisfaction of thinking he had complete control over us. His eyes slid to mine, his lips still pulled back in a snarl. He dropped Dai on the deck and walked back to his crew. "Killer."

Killer stepped forward. "Yes, captain?"

"Make sure they aren't Marines. Get any other info you can out of them. If we aren't at the next island by then, kill them."

I trembled at his words. We were so easily disposed at his words. He couldn't care less, and why should he? Infamous pirate of South Blue, devil fruit power, and merciless killer, he had power and he knew it.

I fell back down. We barely survived this, how would we be able to survive the next part? I crawled over to Dai; she was sitting up now. "What was that? You know Kid as well as I do! We're going to die on his ship if we aren't careful!"

She turned her head to look at me. "But I had to ask… And you interrupted one of the most important ones! Besides, it wasn't that bad; it was kind of funny."

I shook my head at her. There was no way we would survive until the next island. A hand shot out, grabbing my injured wrist and wrenching me from my spot on the floor. "Ouch!" I hissed. I pushed against the person's hand, but they wouldn't release me. Suddenly, Daiyu set her hand on theirs, "If you don't let go, I'm going to start getting really pissed."

They let go of my wrist and I pulled it against me again. I was surprised it hadn't been broken; I must have been lucky. She carefully looked at my wrist. "I know. It's damaged. But I should be okay after a few days."

Daiyu smiled and gave me a light hug. We turned back to the crew, specifically Killer, and gripped each other's hand tightly. His stance suggested he was wondering what happened, but it's hard to tell when I can't see the person's face.

He nodded his head; I assumed he meant we should go. I stepped forward, Dai copying me. He took us to a large room, most likely the mess hall, and motioned for us to sit across from him. I sat slowly, worried about what would happen. It was quiet for a while.

Until Daiyu had more questions to ask. "Do you always wear that helmet? How do you eat? Why did you join Kid's crew? Does Kid-"

I cut her off again. "Enough, Dai," I hissed.

She would certainly get someone pissed off, namely Kid. I was glad that Killer was so much calmer than his captain. I could almost feel his eyes move between us.

"So…" he started. "You are Violet and Daiyu?" he nodded to both of us in turn.

I made a small nod. My eyes would only flicker to him for a moment before focusing on the ground or Dai again. Her answer was much louder. "Yup! And you are Killer, that was Kid, and these are the Kid Pirates!"

I sighed. I hoped she wouldn't get hurt on this ship-

My thought was stopped when she was pulled away. "Wha- Where are you taking her? Bring her back!" I yelled at the man pulling her out of the room. He stopped to look at me. Crap, it was Heat. I froze, I knew I couldn't take him on, but there was no way I'd let someone just take Daiyu away. She was my sister for goodness sake! (Yes, I realize I hardly swear)

A blade entered my vision and I fell back out of my seat. Killer had pulled out one of his scythes. I made no move to get back up, and backed away instead. "I want my sister back," I managed to say quietly.

"So you're related." He clearly wanted to continue asking questions.

"Not really… She's my best friend; she is the closest person to me." My eyes flashed, "And I'm willing to do almost anything to someone who hurts her."

He walked around the table to stand above me. I was cradling my wrist still, trying to force back my fear. "What happened to your wrist?"

His voice sounded disinterested, as if he was reading it out of a book. "I fell," I mumbled.

He grabbed my upper arm, pulling me to my feet more carefully then the last person had. I wanted to back away; he was too close for my comfort. I could almost hear his silent question. "I don't like being close to people." I added, "Except for Daiyu."

He let go of my arm and I sat in a chair further away from him. He sat on the same side of the table this time, leaving a chair in between for my comfort. "You are being separately questioned so you can't lie to us. Where did you come from?"

"We- we are from a different place… There's no point answering actually where because we clearly aren't at her house anymore," I spoke softly. "We are from a different world. Some strange black thing pulled us here. I don't even know why we landed on your deck," I added, grumbling.

I doubt he would completely believe me- who would make up a story like this anyways?- but I hoped he would consider that I wasn't just making something up. I could barely see him tilt his head. So he was considering it… I looked away. This situation was uncomfortable, to say the least.

"So you aren't a marine." It wasn't really a question, but I nodded anyways. I kept my head turned away. I really just wanted to be somewhere else right now… Why couldn't we-

"Ouch!" Killer had pulled my wrist away from my body. I couldn't pull back without hurting myself, but I pushed against his hand. "Let go! That hurts!" I froze when I realized I had just yelled at Massacre Soldier. I slowly lifted my head to look at him. He didn't seem to be pissed from what I could tell from his body language.

He had found a roll of cloth somewhere- I really need to pay more attention- and was wrapping my wrist tightly. I kept flinching as he would accidently wrap the bandage too tight or his hand would lightly bump my wrist. When he was done, I lightly touched my wrist. He had no reason to do that for me.

"Th-thank you…" I managed quietly.

He barely nodded, pushing the rest of the roll to the side. "Now, tell me about yourself."

I froze and lowered my head. What would I be able to tell him and what should I avoid saying? "I'm 19. I was training to be a veterinarian, but I've only been able to take biology classes so far… Um, I don't know what else you would care to know…"

"Can you fight?"

I shifted uncomfortably. "Well, sort of… I was never trained by anyone…"

I could almost picture him raising an eyebrow. "Explain."

"Daiyu and I would pretend to fight at her house. But, I lost the katana I was using when we came over here." I puckered my brow. I was still holding it when I fell into the hole, so where did it go?

"You fight with a katana?" he sounded a little surprised.

I glared lightly. "Just 'cause I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't fight, even if I look like a terrified little kid."

Silence. "Tell me about your friend."

"She's 19, too. We were born at almost the same time. She… has a problem with tact. Don't take any offense to what she says, she doesn't mean it," I almost pleaded. As afraid as I was for myself, I was even more terrified for her.

"Kid makes the decisions here."

I should have known he'd say something like that. He's probably one of the most loyal first mates around. Except for maybe Zoro. Speaking of him, why couldn't we have been dropped on the Straw Hats' ship instead?! But nooo, we had to be left on the ship of one of the most dangerous rookies around.

Wait… where we even in the Grand Line? "Where are we?" That should've been one of the first things I asked.

"In the Grand Line."

I sighed. At least we weren't in the South Blue or somewhere I didn't know anything about. Killer looked interesting in my reaction. I looked away from him. "I, um, have some knowledge on the Grand Line, though not a whole lot…"

Killer leaned forward. "We could use information on the Grand Line."

I pulled further away from him. "I-I don't know that much about it. I barely know anything about One Piece except for the main characters."

He stood up and walked up to my chair. "One Piece? The treasure?"

"N-no. One Piece, the show. We had were able to watch what happened in my world, but I didn't see very much," my voice raised a couple pitches when he leaned closer. I pushed away from him with my good hand and backed away.

He grabbed my arm, pulling me against him and holding a scythe to my throat. "Then you will have to tell us everything you know about the other people here." He released me and I fell to the floor. "At least you can be sure you'll live until the next island."
