US DUN OWN ONE PIECE! (us wish)
Omg... Us came back to read chapter, and saw so many hideous mistakes.. GOMENASAI!
It was a Monday, a week before school was to start up again. Yumi pulled the van into a nearby parking space at Wal-Mart. She waited until everybody was out before she locked it up. "Ah, jeez.. School in a week already.." sighed Kaida, Yumi's best friend.
"I know, it still doesn't feel right. Oi Kaida, do you have the money?" Yumi replied, glancing worriedly over to her.
"Uhm, no. Was I supposed to?" Yumi sighed. Sanji ran up to them, excited and perverted as ever.
" KAIDA-CHWAN~ CAN I GET A COOK BOOK?" Yumi winced at his yelling. She loved the guy as a friend, and he would be one of the coolest guys she knew, IF he wasn't perverted. She watched Kaida seemingly struggle to try and think of a reasonable reply.
"Well, I don't see why not."
A sigh came from behind them. Their blue-haired, rich friend Vivi was standing behind them. "I guess I can pay.." Vivi said shyly.
"VIVI SWAANNN! YOU'RE SO SMART!" Jesus, Sanji was going to bust a few eardrums today.
Adalric, a year older than them, -17- walked up to the two friends.
"It was all a part of your master plan, wasn't it, Kaida." He replied with a tone that suggested they bickered like this often.
"Yes Adalric, it was." Kaida replied, earning a giggle from Yumi.
They walked into the store and headed off to the school supplies aisle. Kaida examining the pens and pencils with extreme care, and Yumi grabbing the basic mechanical pencils. A rather goofy young boy of the same age walked up to them."So.. What do I need to get again?" Luffy asked ungraciously.
Adalric raised his eyebrow. "Have you gone to school before, Luffy?"
Luffy nodded his response after a little hesitation.
"Well, what did you use at this.. School."
Luffy's face blanked out as he tried to think. "A…" Adalric motions his hands as if to help his unintelligent friend think. "A..?"
"A pencil! Yeah, a pencil.."
"And pens, eraser, binder, loose leaf, calculator.." Listed Yumi from farther down the aisle. She felt almost sorry for her raven-haired friend. He was so hopeless sometimes. Adalric helped point Luffy to where the No. 2 pencils were, then started to pick out his own stuff. Who knew shopping for school supplies could get so complicated. Yumi laughs, then goes to stand by Kaida. Vivi and her best friend Nami, were grabbing the more expensive, girly school supplies. Bleck, pink binders. Sanji was hurrying off to the book section. He did all of their cooking, so they made the exception often enough to buy him a lot of cookbooks. Usoppe, meanwhile, had ditched to the art section. He wasn't as good as Kaida yet, but he really did try. Yumi tried to hide her amused smile. They really were like a small adopted happy -if not strange- family. A small and shy voice behind them made Kaida and Yumi turn around. It was chopper."Neh, Kaida.. Are these good pencils?" He held up a pack of cheap buffalo pencils."Hm," Kaida replied, while examining them. "I would take these ones instead." She handed a packet of better pencils to him.
Yumi couldn't help it. The grade nine, tanned boy was just way too cute. She picked him up in a bear hug and squee'd. "Awwe! You're just so CUTE I can't handle it! Did you pick up any girlfriends over the summer?" She grinned when he blushed at the thought of it."N-no I haven't.."
Adalric walked up to the squirming Chopper. "And why is that?" Chopper blushed a little worse."I d-don't know!" Adalric laughed and gave him a noogie. "Neither do I, Chop-man." He continued to find school supplies, then headed off to the video game section. Yumi went to grab a chocolate bar, then waited at the till for everybody to finish shopping.
Kaida was on her way back from the art section when a tall young man turned a corner sharply and ran into her. He didn't even stumble, but he did step back for her to pick up all of the things she dropped. "A-ah, sorry.." She didn't look up until she had gathered all of her items and stood up.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked rather rudely.
She frowned as she looked up at him. He had green hair.. How odd.. "I'm that girl who did that thing that one time." She held in a grin when he wrinkled his nose.
"That helps me none!"
"Jeez.. Kids these days.. I'm Toraryuu Kaida; Who're you?"
"Roronoa Zoro." He had a brisk tone in his voice that made everything he said, sound business-like.
"Well that's cool, I guess." He gave her a blank look.
"How old are you?"
"Eighty three and a half." He gave her a don't-bullshit-me look. "Sixteen going on seventeen.. Why?"
"What school are you going to?" She had to think before she actually remembered. "I think it's called Candaln High School." 'And why am I giving out information to a random stranger, again?' She thought.
"Oh, I'm the gym teacher there."
"Ah. Well you won't like me very much, probably. Gym isn't my thing.." She didn't like that smirk he gave her..
"Well, that sucks for you."
'Something tells me I won't be a happy camper next week.' She thought glumly.
"Bonney will be the one to hate you. She makes everybody feel like little kids. By the end of gym class with her, you feel so sore it's like being old."
"Oh joy. So, if she's so fun, then what does that make you?" She raised her eyebrow in curiosity.
He frowned. "I don't know."
Their conversation was interrupted by Yumi coming around the corner. "Oi, Kaida. Everybody is ready, come bring your stuff to the counter." This caused her to receive a narrowed glare from Zoro. "Ah, alright then." She turned to leave. "Well, I guess I'll see you a week from now, then.." She stalked off with Yumi, muttering about gym in a negative way. She could feel Zoro smirking at her before leaving himself. " Where's the counter, again?" Yumi took her hand and led her to afore mentioned counter. There was a huge pile of school supplies, and it was about to get bigger. There was nine of them there, after all. Ace had decided to get his own supplies later on.
After Vivi paid for the massive pile of useful and not so useful crap, they all got back into the van. Luffy seemed to be having trouble remembering what a seat belt was."Luffy, that long piece of fabric beside you is called a SEAT. BELT. It will save your life if you wear it." Adalric said with a hint of sarcasm.
"If I don't wear it, what will happen?" Luffy couldn't get any more clueless. Or so they thought.
Adalric clapped his hands together. "SPLAT!" Luffy's mouth stretched wide in a look of mock fear, then he hurriedly put his seat belt on. Chopper did too, after seeing Adalric's display of knowledge. Adalric laughed to himself. "Then you'd bounce along the highway and get splatted again by a nearby semi.." Luffy and Chopper's look of fear grew and they made their seatbelts even tighter. Just to be safe.
Once everybody was buckled SAFELY in, they drove home. They pulled into the garage then walked inside. Sanji, being the perverted gentleman he is, carried the women's stuff inside. Usoppe had to carry the men's. Yumi liked to take advantage of Sanji's ultimate weakness and asked him to start supper. He agreed pretty fast, as usual.
Yumi locked up the garage and the van then flopped onto the couch in the spacious living room. "Well, now what to do.."
Kaida joined her on the couch. "I dunno. However, I met our supposed gym teacher today. Well, I actually bumped into him, but that's beside the point."
"Oh so that's who the hunk of a guy was?"
Kaida nodded. "Apparently he has a gym assistant that makes you feel like a baby and will make us all very sore."
Yumi winced. Neither of them were looking forward to gym class. "Yeah. The guy with the green hair's name is Zoro, too." A scream sounded outside, but neither of them flinched. They lived in the bad side of town, and things like that happened often. A police siren would start up pretty soon, anyways.
"LADIES! SUPPER IS READY~" Yelled Sanji. Well, he wasn't yelling on purpose, but the thought of being able to serve 'his' ladies was often too overwhelming for the poor guy to handle. "Oh, yay." Yumi ran to the table to get a good seat. Their table was massive. They had 10 people to seat, and they had extra chairs when necessary. Kaida walked to the table and sat in her usual place. Which was beside whatever seat Yumi was in. Luffy magically appeared at the table and took a seat.
"SANJI! FOOD!" Luffy, however.. Well, he was yelling on purpose. His appetite was huge, and so were his lungs. Chopper took a seat beside Luffy. That was a dangerous move, for food usually flies from Luffy's mouth as much as bats fly out of caves.
Sanji grumbled. "Asshole.. Your presence ruins my appetite." Adalric then took a seat beside chopper.
"So, what's for supper?" Kaida asked calmly.
"Obviously whatever we are going to be eating." Replied Adalric with his usual tone. He didn't sound sarcastic, but he sure as hell was being.
Yumi looked down at her bowl. There was some type of exotic looking soup, something they've never had. It was probably in that cookbook Sanji bought at Wal-Mart. 'Well, who cares what the hell it looks like! Even if it looked like shit, it'd still taste good. Sanji made it, after all.' she thought contentedly. She started to eat.
"Well, by the look of it, we're having soup." Adalric continued with his ever so wise observations.
"A very good soup, might I add." said Kaida, as she too started to eat. Sanji melted under her not-so-direct praise.
Adalric went ahead and made kissy noises at Kaida, which earned him a haughty glare.
"Shuttup you stupid skunk." Kaida liked to pick on Adalric about his hair colour. It was a very dark grey, with a stripe of white. He took this very personal, which is exactly what she wanted.
"I'M NOT A SKUNK!" He protested/yelled at her. His anger increased as Kaida pinched her nose and waved her hand as if to dispel an unpleasant smell.
Yumi laughed after calmly swallowing her mouthful of soup. "Guys, calm down! You almost made me splurge soup everywhere!"
Kaida made a pouty face, as if she were a kid getting in trouble for pulling a prank. She picked up her spoon and ate more soup. "Well he DOES look like a skunk," she mumbled. She ignored the "I DO NOT" comment from Adalric and left her soup unguarded to glare at him.
"Kaida, I agree but we must save these things while Luffy is NOT around, in which he will steal your soup whilst you not paying attention."
Kaida looked down at her soup. At least, she looked down at where it should have been. "EH!" She sighed in defeat and smacked herself in the forehead. "That was my fault.."
Yumi looks over at Luffy, who's hunched over suspiciously. "Hah! Told ya so!"
"LUFFY YOU ASSHOLE! GIVE KAIDA'S SOUP BACK!"
Luffy swallowed whatever was in his mouth and refused to make eye contact. "I didn't take her soup and eat it…" Chopper decided not to say anything about the soup he just saw Luffy eat and continued to eat his own.
Sanji growled, obviously displeased at this too-common occurrence in this household. He grabbed another bowl and filled it with more soup and passed it to Kaida. "Here, Kaida-chwan." He turned to Adalric and pointed at him accusingly. "And YOU! It's all your fault it happened!"
Adalric obtained an indignant face. "I fail to see how it is my fault!"
Kaida tried to stop the fight by smiling at Sanji. "Thank you, Sanji.."
Sanji stopped a moment to return her smile, but then rounded on Adalric. "You and your horrible hair! I blame you!"
"MY HAIR IS NOT HORRIBLE!"
"DAMN RIGHT IT IS!" Adalric patted his hair as if to reassure it.
"YOURS IS JUST AS BAD!" He paused to think about what he said. "…WORSE!"
"IT IS NOT, YOU SHITTY MORON!"
"…ABSOLUTE SHIT!"
"YOUR FACE IS ABSOLUTE SHIT!" Sanji snorted and stomped back into the kitchen to do the dishes, mumbling something abut how he had no time for this.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE FUCKED UP CURLY EYEBROW!"
"SHUT UP, BASTARD!"
"Yeah, I'm right.. You all know it.."
Kaida coughed. "Skunk hair." Yumi laughed. It was her way of agreeing.
Adalric points at Kaida, adding a swing with his arm to add more emphasis. "You look like somebody spilled paint all over your hair!"
Yumi bristled. "I LIKE HER HAIR!" Kaida's hair was pitch black with the ends of it naturally red. Adalric didn't seem amused.
"Well, I like mine, so piss off," Adalric mumbled.
"Tch. Jerk. You're all just jealous I have ruffable hair." Kaida raised an eyebrow at this, but laughed as well. Luffy tilted his head, the incident with the soup forgotten.
"What does ruffable mean?"
"It means you can ruffle one's hair easily. With my short, black, messy hair, it's rather easy," Yumi replied, trying to sound wiser than she was.
"Is mine ruffable?" He asked.
Yumi smiled. This boy was so cute sometimes. "Yes, Luffy. Yes it is." Silence followed, which was rare in a house like this. After another fifteen minutes, Yumi remembered something. "Oi. Where's ace?!" Slightly surprised silence followed, when Ace himself conveniently walks in.
"WOAH! A gang chased me, and tried to burn me with gasoline and matches!" He said it as if it was a daily occurrence. It was starting to become one.
Yumi's jaw hit the table. "EH?!"
"WILL THEY CHASE YOU BACK TO THE HOUSE?" Usoppe squealed.
They waited as Ace thought about it. He stuck his pinky in his ear and twisted it, itching his ear. "No, I don't think so," he replied eventually.
Luffy looked up from another stolen bowl of soup that Ace's entry had allowed him to steal. "Oh hey, Ace."
"Hey, Bro."
"You sure are lively, aren't you.." observed Kaida.
Ace simply smiled and sat down. He grabbed a bowl that had been waiting for him and gulped it down in one go. "Ah, that was good, Sanji."
Sanji looked as pale as a ghost. "It was good, but how the hell can you tell when you eat it so fast!?"
"I couldn't," came Ace's bland reply.
Kaida burst out laughing, along with Yumi. Sanji, on the other hand looked like a hurt puppy.
Adalric scoffed. "Way to be, man." He received a comical glare from Ace.
"WHO the HELL are you?!" Ace exclaimed. Ace had seen him before, he was simply forgetting. The 'D.' brothers were similar yet completely different sometimes.
"I am.. Adalric." He gave ace the same comical glare he had just received. "Who are YOU?!"
"Ace. What the hell are you doing in my house?" He looked at Kaida, then Adalric. "NO WAY! Are you two dating?!" His jaw dropped slightly. "That's not fair!"
"No.. we're not?" Kaida replied questioningly.
Adalric crunched up his face as if he heard something disgusting. "Why would I date that thing?!"
Ace put his foot up on the table challengingly, as if to jump over to Adalric. "YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?!"
"I didn't even say anything!!" He threw his hands up. "What is WRONG with you people!"
Ace sat back down as if nothing happened. "So when do we go back to school?"
"Uhm, about a week from now, I think," Kaida replied.
"Awe, man! I still need to get school supplies.. I KNEW I should of gone with you guys." He glanced over at Nami and Vivi, who were chatting over at the other end of the table. Usoppe was texting his girlfriend Kaya, under the table. He was doing pretty bad job of hiding it, though. Every once and awhile a smile would break his face as he read one of the texts. 'I don't think I want to know what he's texting her about' Ace thought to himself sarcastically.
Luffy gave his brother a funny look. "You didn't? I think I did.. Sometime.."
"We went today, Luffy." Chopper offered helpfully.
Ace laughed and patted his brother on the back as he got up to take his dishes to the sink. "Good job, Luffy!" Luffy grinned back at his brother as if he won a prize.
Yumi watched Usoppe as he continued to text Kaya. She grinned when she thought of a way to bug him. "USOPPE! Don't you dare text dirty things to Kaya under my roof!" "I-I'm n-not!" Usoppe stammered.
"Sure you're not.."
"Dirty things?" Luffy asked, tilting his head in a quizzical manner.
"You'll find out when you're old enough, Luffy." Ace said half heartedly as he walked downstairs to his beloved flat screen TV. Luffy once again, just smiled.
Everybody eventually got up and gave their dishes to Sanji, some trying to ditch earlier so they wouldn't have to help him do the dishes. Vivi offered, however, and saved a few lazy asses. Usoppe went to finish a painting, Chopper went to go study, Nami went to paint her nails, and Adalric went downstairs to play on the computer. Yumi tried, but failed to run down the stairs. She made it a daily activity to fall down at least one flight of stairs. Today, she must of decided to go for the wooden stairs. A stream of curses came from her as she tumbled down to the bottom.
Kaida walked down calmly, laughing at her friend's fail. "Are you okay, Yumi?" Yumi groaned at first.
"Yeah, thanks.. I always do this..!" Kaida smiled then got up to join Luffy and Ace on the couch to watch football. Yumi eventually joined them, when she could move.
"Hey, where's Adalric?" Yumi asked Kaida.
"Probably in our room playing on the computer."
Adalric tried to be quiet and continue to play on the computer. He wasn't supposed to be in there.
While Kaida stole the remote from Luffy, Yumi snuck into her room and walked up behind Adalric. The poor guy was playing Oblivion. It was very addicting. Yumi pinches/pulls on Adalric's cheeks at the same time as she asks, "WHADDAYATHINKYADOIN?!" He let out a yell of surprise.
"O-o-ow! I'm just on the computer, what the fuck do you think I'm doing?!" He winced at the evil smile she gave him.
"You should ask first, fool."
"..Well.. Can I go on the computer?"
"Yes you may."
"Why do I have to ask first to go on the computer?"
"Because it's in our room!"
"So?!"
"It's our computer!"
Adalric paused to think about his situation. "Right." He turned his back and started to play Oblivion again. Yumi smacked him upside the head, muttering something about his hair.
"OI! Leave my hair out of this."
"So, what level are you?" Yumi said, trying to change the subject.
"Twenty, guy. I'm currently being eated by zombies." He said, frowning as another zombie jumped his character from behind.
Yumi grinned at Adalric's own sound effects that he added into the game. She laughed. "The highest level I ever got to was 37.."
"I heard the highest level was around 40, but I know how to get higher without cheats."
"Pbbt, I got to 37 without cheats!"
"Yeah, I know, but going higher than the limit without cheats is hardish and takes awhile." He ignored Yumi's disbelieving scoff behind him. He gave her a quick glare. "Ah, piss off, wooden bow."
"Eh!? Don't make fun of my name!!"
"Don't make fun of my hair."
"Names and hair are completely different things, asshole!"
"Not really!!"
"YEAH really! Ass.."
"Idiot."
Luffy plopped down on the on the couch beside Kaida. "Eh, give back the remote.."
"Nu."
Yumi started to poke Adalric in the back of the head whilst watching him play. He lasted about on minute before turning around in the chair. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"
She smiled cheekily. "Nothing that YOU'D know about!"
"You people are crazy."
"You say that as if you're not one of us! You're just as bad.."
"So? This proves nothing." He turned back to his game. Yumi poked him again, but twice as hard. "OW!" He tried to shoo her hand away without turning around.
"Wow, you're boring."
"I'm playing a video game. How do you propose I not be boring, then?" Without moving much, he spun around to look at her. She had her hand on her hips and was frowning.
"I don't know!"
"Exactly." He stood up and stretched slowly. "I'm bored now, too."
"Me too, jerk face." She poked him in the stomach quickly, trying to find amusement in bugging him further.
"I'm not a jerk face." He poked her right back in the stomach. 'Better than skunk, I guess.' He thought sarcastically.
Light conversation could be heard by Ace and Kaida as they also tried to pass the time.
Yumi lightly slapped him. "Suck on that, asshole."
"Why do you pick on me like that?"
"Cuz I'm bored."
He frowned at this. "So you pick on me."
"Yes, because you pick on me back, therefore I'm not bored. Besides, I can't see your returning any form of happiness or something like that, so I go with teasing in a non-flirtatious way."
Adalric laughed. "You said flirtatious. Snicker."
"What's so bad about that?!"
"I don't know, maybe I just felt like laughing at the word flirtatious!"
"Heh, you said flirtatious."
Adalric frowned and decided to ignore her. After awhile of thinking of something to do, he said, "Why don't we all go do something."
"Like what, though.."
"I don't know! Maybe we could all go to a movie.. Just do SOMETHING, you know?"
"Well, what movie would you want to see?"
"What about.. Avatar or Legion or something like that?"
"Avatar for the win!" She grabbed his wrist and runs out into the living room with him in tow. "Hey guys, do you want to go see Avatar?"
Ace jumped up in excitement. "Hell yeah! Beats watching our team get dominated!"
"Yeah no kidding! Let's go!" Agreed Kaida.
"Yosh!" Luffy jumped up and was in the van in a flash. Chopper was right behind him.
After Yumi and Adalric asked everybody else, they headed off to the movie theatre. With Vivi's debit card, they could get all the popcorn they could want. This was going to be a fun night.
