Gene-chan! He's here. (takes her part of the mousse) Mmm!

Hana-san! I've thought about it, but I'm doing this straight onto the keyboard from my head, no prep! And you can thank Kyubi through Kami-san's profile for the part. And hopefully it won't get in the way of 'Bite Me, Love Me'.

Usopp: That's it!

Okay! Enjoy everyone!


Chapter 1

A month went by and there seems to be crime around every corner.

"Did you hear?" Said one teen. "You know about the Hyena gang?"

"Yeah!" Said another teen. "They completely beat the old guy in that corner stone and his two friends."

"And those guys are damn big! Like gorillas!"

Within the shadows of a nearby alley, a huge, dirt and grime covered creature was nearby, listening to the conversation.

"Man… I thought that Demon Hunter guy was scary to run into."

"Yeah, but he scared the shit of all the wannabe gangs from moving up. He's a one man gang…"

"What the hell happened to him?"

"No idea man…"

"You think he's dead?"

"Dead!? You kidding? We're talking about a demon in human form!"

As the teens moved farther away with their talk, the creature walked out to get to the alley on the other side. The said creature resembles an Alaskan Husky with the tail as straight and bushy as a wolf's, the size was close to a Great Dane, and the fur, though covered in weeks of grime, was thin, but thick enough to run fingers through. However, it's currently showing some ribs from lack of food, but pride allowed him to be stubborn and move from alley to alley in search of something that he could scrape off if he had to fight the other dogs for it.


'Damn…' The dog thought as he went through another alley with no success of food. He exited to see a news stand and saw the latest headline.

'Gang Crime Rising! Lockdown!'

'Damn fox…' He thought as he walked away from the stand and went pass the crowd unnoticed, as was such in the city.


He sat down, waiting for the light to change, which he had to fight the temptation of chomping a baby girl's ice cream cone, which she was handing out as if it was some kind of wand to him. He wouldn't steal from a naïve kid, it was low and dirty in his creed. When the light changed, he crossed along with the masses to another alley, only to see a mid-aged man being mugged. He would've growled and fought the dumbasses off, but he was currently low on energy and he was no hero, as a human or a mutt, he wouldn't get out of his way to help others that were of little concern to him. He turned to walk down the sidewalk to a park. 'People usually leave their crap in parks.' He thought with distaste, but being an animal now he has no choice but eat, literally, like a dog, a stray dog at that.

When he found nothing that resembles food, he walked around the park more, scaring mothers and some children. He even scared the shit out of neat freak couples and old ladies feeding pigeons. The reactions are always amusing to him, but he was hungry. He's convinced that there's absolutely nothing but acid in his stomach, and he could feel his muscles being ebbed away due to it. He continued to walk until he felt tired and went to find a thick vegetation to rest in.

"There you are!"

He turned to look at a man with a uniform. 'Not this bastard again…' He thought as he saw a man with a not so handsome face and blonde hair that looked like he put a bowl over his head to get the look. Not to mention that he looked like a spoiled brat than an enforcer of some law.

"I'm going to get you this time! You huge flea bag!"

'That's original…' He thought as he darted across the green field.

"Hold it you!"

But he didn't stop until he could fool the man, because at this point he was close to collapsing. Luckily, he was far ahead that he could hide just about anywhere.

"Oi!"

He looked up ahead to see a group of guys picking on one teen.

"Give Boshi back! You bastards!" The teen with black hair, since the face wasn't seen, said as he jumped to grab a straw hat that was being thrown in the air.

The guys were making fun of him and one punched the teen that the said person went back and crashed on the ground.

"You want it?" The ring leader said as he held it up. "Come and get it!"

Usually he would avoid being a hero, but the guys were in his way, and he growled, making the group look at him. He jumped at the leader, scaring the shit of the guy and let go of the hat, and continued to run ahead.

"What the hell is that thing!?" Said one gang member.

"A dog!?" Said another.

"No way man! That's too damn big to be a normal dog!"

"Stop right there you demon hound!" Said the dogcatcher, who slowed to a stop, wheezing for breath. "Damn that thing to hell…"

"Oi! Where's the kid!?"


After a successful escape, once again, he found a thick vegetation to hide and rest in. He laid down, ignoring the pains in his stomach as he closed his eyes before hearing that someone else is here.

"Found you." Said the teen from earlier.

The teen had ebony black hair that was wind swept and uneven, dark brown eyes that were still a bit wide, a small scar under his left eye, and a lithe yet slightly toned body.

He tensed for a moment, seeing that he had been found.

"Take it easy, I just want to thank you for what you did back there." The teen said with a laugh as he sat down, brought out his blue back pack, dug in and took out what looked like a ham sandwich you find in some stands. "I was saving this for later, but you deserve it." He unwrapped the plastic wrapper, set the sandwich down in front of the dog, and got up to leave. "Take care boy." He said as he left, making sure he wasn't seen as well.

The dog, the former human known and feared as Demon Hunter Roronoa Zoro, was, at that moment, saved from starving for an entire month by some random guy he had no intention of helping. He didn't dwell on it long as he chowed down on the sandwich. It' didn't fill him completely, but he never felt better. He settled back to his nap and dreamed of tearing the fox-human to shreds.


Short and simple, but there will be more on the way!

Usopp: See you next chapter!
