A/N: So I've had this chapter written for some time, buuuut I really couldn't wait to post any more! So this is up earlier! Appreciate my lack of patience! xD (Please forgive my fight scene, I'm a bit bad at them. Haha...)

I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED by the fact that I've got 57 hits on this story so far! It's like a bunch more then I thought I would get! (YAY!) I've got people from Germany & Brazil and other places checking out my story! How cool is that? ^w^ I'd also like to give a HUGE shout-out to 'lollipop funny' for being the first person to favorite my story! I Appreciate it so much! Thank you! R&R

Anyway, I decided to change the Point of View for the story, so now, instead of 3rd person, it's 2nd person. Which is a bit strange I'll admit, but I'm going with it for now and I'll notify you of any future changes! ;) So I'm also gonna do this whole pointless thing about posting some of the songs I listened to while writing this chapter, just because I think it's fun! Yeah, so check out 'Weightless', 'Dear Maria (count me in)', 'Lost in Stereo', 'Therapy', etc etc by All Time Low, the whole One-X album by Three Days Grace, 'Noots' by Sum 41, and a bunch of others.

DISCLAIMER: I Do NOT own One Piece or it's characters. Eiichiro Oda is the mastermind behind them! And Funimation and all those other people help him out. So, sadly, no part in it by little 'ol me!

Chapter Two

(CHANGE IN Point Of View)

We return to our story, on the little pirate island of Soruga. We left off with Kira pondering her day and the new people she met as she went to sleep, now let's see where the rest of this adventure takes us...

You woke up early the next morning, and decided to read a book before really getting up. It was only 6 anyway. You picked a random book from one of the libraries many shelves and settled down in one of the old plush chairs to read. A few hours later you put the book down and got up to get changed and get ready for the day. After you took a shower you walked to your closet to get dressed. You decided that you were gonna dress more comfortably then yesterday, since you had been wearing better clothes due to the anniversary, so you picked out your black shorts and suspenders, your burnt orange top that cut off above your stomach and didn't have any sleeves, fingerless leather gloves that went midway to your elbow and had metal plates on the back, and your black boots. After you finished getting dressed you walked to the bathroom and quickly brushed your hair and pulled up the lose suspenders. You walked out of your room and grabbed a piece of toast before leaving the library and locking the door.

You walked slowly down the hill into town wondering if the Strawhats were still in town. As you passed the fish market you saw Sanji inside looking at the merchandise with Luffy hovering around him, drooling. You decided to step inside and say hello so you opened the door and went in. The clerk heard you enter and looked up, "Hey Kira!" she said, "What's up? Want something? We got in some fresh shrimp, I know it's your favorite!" You laughed while Luffy and Sanji had turned to you after hearing the clerks greeting. "Hey Ari," you greeted, "no thanks, though it is tempting, I just came in to say hi to these folks before they left. So hey Luffy, Sanji." You nodded at them with a smile.

Sanji instantly had hearts in his eyes as he said, "Hello my angel! I love your outfit!"

You just rolled your eyes at his words and gave a slight grimace. Luffy was grinning at you however, "Hey your back! Thanks for the restaurant advice, the meat was great! Zolo liked the rum too."

You grinned back, "Glad you liked it! It's our speci-" *CRASH!* You were cut off as the door to the market flew open and slammed against the wall. In walked two burly looking pirates with some sharp lookin' swords. "Alright now," said the first pirate, "we don't want to hurt anybody, but we will if you don't give us all your money now!"
You sighed deeply. Due to the fact that this was a pirate serving town this kind of thing was a regular occurrence. That didn't stop it from getting tedious after a while though. Most of the townspeople were used to this kind of thing and knew how to defend themselves, or they had you take care of it, but Ari, and her father who owned the shop, had only been here for half a year and they weren't accustomed to frequent robbery attempts yet. Ari was as white as a sheet and shaking when you glanced at her, Luffy and Sanji looked ready to attack the thugs if necessary though. You sighed again, it wouldn't be right to let guests take care of this, you'd have to beat some sense into them yourself. You turned to the first guy lazily with your hands in your pockets and gave him a bland look. "You know," you started, "you really don't wanna do this. Like you REALLY don't want to. You're just gonna end up hurt, I promise."

The first guy looked at the second then turned back to you and laughed, "You serious girlie? You're not really in a position to be saying nothin'. You couldn't hurt us if you tried." he finished cockily.

You got an irritated mark as you looked down, "Oh really now? Fine then, bring it punk!"

"Why you little...I'm gonna cut you in half!" barked the first guy as he lunged for you with his sword. Sanji and Luffy tensed as he did, but then stopped and watched in wonder as you side-stepped the lunge and jabbed your two fingers into the guys wrist. The sword clattered to the ground uselessly as the guy quickly stood up and turned to you. "Hey! Wha'd you do to my hand?" he asked angrily.

"Pressure point." You answered smartly.

"Argh!" yelled the thug as he rushed at you. This time you grabbed his shoulders and used them to flip over him while the momentum sent him face first into the floor. The second guy looked at his partner on the ground then up at you with a glare and ran at you with his sword raised above his head. As he got closer he brought it down but you easily stepped to the side, grabbed his wrist, and swung him around, throwing him into the wall at the front of the shop.
The first guy was getting back up when his partner flew past him into the wall, he turned to you with a panicked face, shaking. You raised an eyebrow, "This is the part where you run away." You told him with an evil smirk. He jumped as he stood up and grabbed his unconscious partner by the collar, dragging him out of the store as fast as he could.

"And don't come back!" You yelled after them. Then you lazily turned around to look at the others in the store and were met by looks of astonishment from Luffy and Sanji and an extremely grateful look from Ari. You nodded to her, "Sorry 'bout that Ari. There are those guys who just have to cause trouble." you sighed.

Ari shook her head franticly, "No no, you're fine!" she said vehemently, "Thank you so much for that! I Don't know what would've happened otherwise!"

You just waved her thanks off, "No worries!" you said.

Then Luffy exploded, "THAT WAS SO COOL!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, "I Didn't know you could fight like that! It's awesome! You gotta join my crew!"

You were a little put off by that last part, "Uhh..." you honestly didn't know how to answer, but thankfully Sanji came to your rescue when he kicked Luffy upside the head for yelling so loud. "Shut up idiot! Your inside!" he turned to Ari, "I apologize for him ma'am, he's an idiot, we'll be going now." He dragged a struggling Luffy outside while you trailed behind them. When you got in front of the store Sanji dropped Luffy and turned to you with those creepy hearts in his eyes again and grabbed your hand, "Now, that was amazing my angel! Your skill is only surpassed by your beauty!"

You could only sweat-drop as you tried to pry your hand out of his. Luffy wasn't finished talking to you yet though, so he pushed Sanji away and got in your face while Sanji stood behind him, fuming at being pushed away. Luffy ignored him and instead asked, "Where'd you learn how to fight like that? Can you do anything else? That was so cool!"
He was still grinning at you while in your face so you backed up a bit and tried to answer his questions, "Uh, I traveled a lot and trained in martial arts with masters, umm let's see I can also play a bunch of instruments...OH and I've got a devil fruit power...what?" You asked when you noticed the look he was giving you. He has these weird sparkles in his eyes and looked like he'd just found one piece or something...then he exploded. Again. "AWESOME!" he cheered, "YOUR A MUSICIAN AND YOU'VE GOT A DEVIL FRUIT POWER! YOU HAVE TO JOIN MY CREW!"

There was that pesky invitation again, you didn't know if you wanted to join his crew yet, sure you'd been around pirates forever, but you hadn't really considered becoming one. "Uh," you tried buying for time, "you know what, why don't you go get the rest of your crew, and we can go have lunch at my house while I think about it. Alright?"

Luffy nodded his head up and down frantically then turned around and screamed at the town, "NAMI! USOPP! ZOLO!" He stopped and waited as you just watched in awe of his weirdness, and Sanji looked like he was gonna kill him any second. About a minute later though you heard running and looked up to see Nami, Usopp, and Zolo all running towards you. They stopped as they got to you guys, Nami panted as she braced herself on her knees, "What! *pant* What's wrong? *huff* Did you get in trouble? Are there marines around?" she straightened, looking around quickly.

Luffy laughed, "Nope! Nothing wrong, I just didn't want to go find you, we're going to Kira's for lunch!"

Everyone but Luffy took a step back at the expression on Nami's face. It held pure murderous intent. Suddenly she jumped at Luffy and started beating him up, "You interrupted my stealing, err borrowing, of a great new map like that for LUNCH? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING SHOT AT OR SOMETHING! ARGH!"

You bravely took a small step forward and coughed a little as you raised your hand, "That was partially my fault," you told her in an effort to keep her from killing her captain, "I was the one who suggested lunch and told him to get you..." you trailed off, afraid of what she might do to you. Surprisingly, Nami merely dropped a near-death Luffy and smiled at you. "Oh, well then that's okay! I Forgive you!"

You sweat-dropped at her instant personality change as you attempted a smile. "Uh well then if your done we can head to my house..."

"Of course! Lead the way!" said Nami enthusiastically. You looked around at the rest of them quickly, then nodded. You then turned and started walking down the path out of town with the other five following. When you got to the edge of the town Usopp asked, "Hey don't you live here?"

You decided to enlighten him, "Well yes, but my house is a little farther away. I live in the old library that's just up this hill."

"Oh, got it!" he answered.

"Ooh a library! You have any books on weather and navigation or maps and stuff like that?" asked Nami.

"Oh yeah. Tons actually. You can take a look at them when we get there!" you told her. "Oh, never mind, we're here."
And just like you said, as your group rounded the last bend, there sat the library.

"Wow! It's big!" Said Usopp. The rest of the group nodded in agreement, and it was. It was a library it had to be.

You shrugged, after a year it was normal. While they admired the building you walked up and unlocked the door. Stepping inside you held the door wide open and motioned for them to come inside. Luffy was the first one in, with a grin on his face and the rest of the group following him. They walked behind you as you lead them through the entrance hall and into, what used to be, the main lobby. It was a spacious, circular, room with couches along the walls and a large desk, now a bar, in the middle. There were big windows higher up above the couches and random artwork hung between the windows. There were also four doors around the room, one that you came in, one leading to the kitchen; one went to your room, and the last lead further into the library.

As they took all this in you turned around and said, "Ta-da! Now please, make yourselves at home. You can go and explore the library or do whatever you want while I go make lunch, all I ask is that you don't knock over a bookshelf or go in my room. I Haven't cleaned it in a while, haha." you finished with a sheepish laugh.

Luffy and Usopp grinned at each other, then you, and proceeded to run out the door you had said lead to the rest of the library, shouting, "Time to explore!" as they ran out.

"Oi you two!..." Nami called to them, but it was too late and they were gone. She sighed irritably, "I apologize for them. They're idiots."

You laughed, "That's alright! I think it's entertaining and I act like that myself sometimes. Now I'm just gonna go make the food..." you trailed off when Sanji calmly walked up to you and gently pushed you aside saying, "Now my angel, I can't allow you to cook for us. Please let me do it out of love. Where is the kitchen?"

You started to protest, but Nami interjected. "You might as well give in," she said, "He's our ships cook and it's what he does, plus he wouldn't let a lady do anything he could do for them."

You sighed, already guessing his personality was like that, but you were surprised he was the cook. It made sense though, you already knew the others positions and you had forgotten the cook. After contemplating it some more you sighed in acceptance. "Alright then. But your not exactly letting me be a hostess." You muttered playfully.

Sanji laughed and then had you show him to the kitchen and point out where all the food and utensils were. After you finished he pushed you out of your own kitchen and shut the door behind you. After standing and glaring at the door in mild annoyance for a few seconds you turned back around and did a double take. Zolo had two of the giant couches in his hands and was lifting them up and down like weights. Nami sensed you behind her and turned with an apologetic look on her face, "Again. Sorry. He's another an idiot. He's also extremely STUBBORN!" she made sure to direct the last part loudly at Zolo. She spun back around when she heard you laughing though. You were bent over, clutching at your stomach, and laughing extremely hard. Nami and Zolo, who finally looked up from his exercise, gave you confused glances.

"I'm sorry," you started, still breathless from the laughter, "it's just that it's been a while since I've met such interesting and hilarious people..." you trailed off with a far away glance, thinking of your grandparents. Zolo kept gazing at you for a little bit longer before going back to his workout, Nami however walked up and slapped you, lightly, on the back and said, "Great you like us, now, can you show me where these wonderful navigation books are located? Pleeaassee?" she begged.

Snapping out of your daze you looked at her and smiled saying, "Oh of course! Follow me!" you punched your fist in the air and started waking to the same door Luffy and Usopp had exited out earlier. Nami followed you gleefully. You led her out of the lobby and to the left towards the stairs. After you got to the second floor you took a right and led her to a separate room that had shelves filled to the brim with books on navigation and cartography, maps, and charts. Nami had those weird stars in her eyes that Luffy had earlier and she squealed in delight at the room. "Oh my gosh, this is amazing!" she exclaimed.

You laughed, "Glad you like it. I'm gonna go try and find Luffy and Usopp, but you can stay in here for as long as you want." She nodded to you in a dazed state, not really paying attention, while you just laughed again and walked out of the room. "Alright," you said to yourself, "now to find the dynamic duo!"

It surprisingly didn't take you that long to find the pair. You just went to where you heard the shouting. Walking around one of the corners on the second floor, you suddenly found yourself lying on your back with a dull throbbing in it and a heavy weight on your stomach. Looking at where the weight was you saw a slightly stunned Luffy sitting on your middle. He was rubbing his head as he looked up at you through his hair. "Oh Kira," he said, "what are you doing here?" he asked blankly.

You gave him a deadpan look, "Well for one thing I live here, and two I was coming to find you and Usopp 'cause we're probably gonna eat soon and when I turn the corner, BOOM, I'm on my back with you on top of me! What are you doing? And where's Usopp?" you demanded.

He laughed with his wide grin, "Opps!" he started, "I guess I wasn't looking! I'm running from Usopp cause he wants to hit me for knocking him over into a bookshelf. Don't worry though, it didn't fall over!" he quickly assured you.

You sighed deeply, feeling bad for Nami who probably had to deal with this kind of stuff a lot more, and then looked up and him with a raised eyebrow, "So? You gonna get off anytime soon?"

He looked down, finally noticing that he was sitting on you, and quickly jumped up with an apology. You got up when his weight was gone, but leaned down again to get his hat that had landed next to you. You handed it to him and he took it with a 'thanks!'. All of a sudden you heard running footsteps and a loud shout of, "LUUFFYYY!" Knowing it was Usopp, Luffy jumped behind you quickly, just as he ran up to you.

"You Jerk!" shouted Usopp, completely ignoring the fact that you were between them, "You almost made a bookshelf fall on top of me!"

Luffy ducked again, "I'm sorry! But you're okay so don't worry about it so much!" he said bluntly. You sweat-dropped, while Usopp looked PO'd...again...
Just as he was about to attack Luffy for the second time the three of you heard a call of, "FOODS READY!" from Sanji. Luffy instantly forgot his fear and started running down the hallway towards the smell of food, cheering, with you and Usopp following him at a much slower pace. When you arrived back at the lobby, the first thing that hit you was the delicious smell. As you walked in after Usopp you saw that Sanji had really outdone himself. There was a ton of mouthwatering food spread across the bar/desk, with plates and other utensils next to them.
"Wow! Sanji this is incredible!" you complimented, just as he was walking out of the kitchen. As soon as he heard it he went right into his weird lovey-dovey, slave thing he always did, but surprisingly, you were getting used to it so you managed to ignore him. His strange attention was diverted when Luffy tried to inhale the table with the food on it. Sanji, amazingly to you, kicked him upside the head and sent him crashing to the floor with a bang. You wondered if Luffy would be alright...and then he popped back up a few seconds later with a loud, "OWWWW! Sanji! You Meany!"
You sighed, partially out of relief and wonder of how he got up so fast after that and partially in amazement of this crew.

When Sanji was satisfied he'd hit Luffy enough he turned to you and Nami, who'd come up behind you, and said, "Please my beauties, eat the food I worked so hard to prepare for you! These hooligans can wait their turn!" he finished with a glare at the other guys. You sweat dropped, but Nami went to the table to get a plate and food, so you decided to follow her lead and did the same. After you both got your food you went and sat down on one of the couches while the boys finally got to eat. You stared in amazement as you watched Luffy swallow plate after plate of food and you began to understand why Sanji cooked so much.

Nami laughed at your expression. "Haha that's normal for him but it's funny to watch people experience it the first time. You should just ignore him, protect your food cause he will try to steal it, and eat."

You nodded at her and dug into your meal. After the first bite you tried to swallow the rest as fast as possible, understanding Luffy a bit. Sanji made the best food you'd ever eaten! And you told him so, "Oh my gosh! Sanji this is the most amazing meal I've ever had!" you complimented.

He swelled up at your praise and looked like he'd just went to heaven, "Of course! Nothing less then perfect for my angels! I Am in heaven now that I know you enjoyed it!"

You sweat dropped, again, but decided to just ignore him and go back for more, which is exactly what you did!

"Phew! I'm stuffed!" exclaimed Zolo. Everyone had just finished the huge lunch and they were now relaxing on your couches. You sat, totally filled and content, next to Nami with Luffy bulging out on your other side. He'd eaten so much he was bloated!

After a short while Nami asked a question you'd known was going to come up sooner or later. "Hey Kira...why do you live in a library? By yourself? Don't you have parents or something?"
She had a genuinely curious expression on that was mirrored on the others faces as they awaited your answer.

You sighed heavily. "It's a bit of a long story...you sure you want to hear it?"

They all nodded furiously, now even more curious, though probably not as much as Luffy. He thought he would go crazy if he didn't find out more about this cool new girl who could fight and had devils fruit powers...and, rather strange eyes that looked like a mix of blue and green and grey and brown all mixed together. He was intrigued...

Sighing one last time, you kicked into the beginning of your story. Starting from the day your world crashed around you.
