Hola guys, Sorry it's short. I'm a new writer with a lot of imagination but english isn't my first language so any grammatical mistakes are purely mine .
This is set in an AU so the ages don't match when Kuina died. Also here, Zoro and Kuina are siblings.
Disclaimer: One piece is not mine.
Zoro's POV.
Chapter 1: Her Promise
I hated the colour black anyways. The sound of the rain was heavy in my eardrums, the smell of the rain was so suffocating, it was hard to breathe. So I left, before the priest closed the Bible. I left. But my footsteps seemed heavy and rebellious. It seemed my feet had a mind of their own, wanting to stay but I couldn't stay. I wouldn't. I walked off in the opposite direction of the burial and sat near a large tree which sheltered me from the rain. However, the rain seemed to have slipped through as it rolled down my cheeks, sides of my jaw and joined together at the tip of my chin before giving into gravity. Today was the funeral of Kuina.
"ohhh.. I didn't know you had something called feelings zoro" despite the harsh words, the voice was soft. It had came from a certain orange looking creature which I refused to call a girl.
"What d'ya want"
"You're crying?" mockery was clear in her voice.
"Don't be stupid, it's raining."
"Ofcourse" was her only reply.
Vigorous scent of mikans burned my nose and when it became stronger, I looked up. Before I could say anything, she hugged me. The damn witch hugged me.
"Nami you smell" she squeezed tighter.
"Na…mi" she squeezed even tighter as if she was forcing my air out of my lungs.
"Zoro" It felt weird because she was never, NEVER nice. She forced me to look at her with her tiny hands.
"Zoro" her eyes were determined just as her voice was.
"I'll never leave you. I promise"
"Who even wants you?"
"I know I'm not Kuina, but you can come to my room anytime if you feel like talking. I'll listen. I promise" was the 5 year old Nami's promise to a 6 year Zoro.
"Since Kuina is gone and you're scary, no one will play with you so I'll play with you" Her tone completely changed again. The determined face was replaced with a self-satisfied face with that arrogant smiled I hated.
The smile I hated.
