Hey Guys! Thanks for waiting :)
Before you read this, I have something to ask.
PLEASE REVIEW. So far, I have gotten no reviews whatsoever,
although many many people have been reading this.
I have to say, I'm quite concerned about this, because if I
don't get any reviews or feedback on our work,
I may have to stop updating. :/
So please, after you are done reading, review.
Thanks :3
By the way, if I can, I update every sunday.
Addict, out! :D
Chapter 2
[eight years later, Kuu is at a harbor, looking for possible crews,
a ship worker spots her strolling down the docks, and calls to her]
Worker: Hey there! What's a pretty young lady such as yourself doing out here?
Kuu: *pausing for a moment* I was just looking for my-ah-my ship, I thought
I left it around here, but I should be going now
Worker: Ah but you won't, sorry lass, get er' boys!
*Kuu feels a striking pain against her skull and everything goes black*
[when she woke up, it was dark and she could feel the pressing claustrophobia
of the brig in which she was imprisoned, her head throbbed,
as her vision cleared, she could see a figure standing in the corner]
Figure: good evening, miss, how was your nap?
Kuu: *still somewhat groggy* Oh.. it was okay… *remembering the previous events,
Kuu takes a defensive stance* Wait! what do you want with me?!?
Figure: ah no need to fear missy, we just figured that a girl as pretty as you would
catch a hefty ransom, and seeing as how income has been scarce, but we wouldn't dream of
ever hurting you, now be a good lass and tell me, is this your home island?
Kuu: *skeptical* I'd rather not…
*the mysterious figure lights a lantern, showing a weather-beaten face*
Figure: now now, don't be stubborn, you would do well not to make me angry
Kuu: *icily* I could say the same to you.
Figure: *frustrated* you're in no position to be making demands!
[he enters the cell]
Kuu: keep your distance.
Figure: must I repeat myself!? *he smacks her, then immediately draws back in a
freezing pain* wha-what was that?? Ahhh!!! My hand!! *it was frostbitten*
*Kuu stands up, irritated, and takes off her jacket, baring her arms*
Kuu: come with me please, I'd rather you not make such a fuss, or you could lose your other hand.
What's your name?
Figure: *whimpering* Hiro
[Kuu grabs Hiro with her black gloved hands and starts for the stairs. Up on deck, a commotion is caused]
Kuu: *addressing the crew* I would be much obliged if you'd give a boat, I think I will be taking my leave now
Captain: excuse me? You're in no posit-
Hiro: wait!! Guys, just listen to her! Just give her a boat and left her leave!! Please!
Captain: huh?
Hiro: she's got a devil fruit!!
*crew gasps in fear, the captain steps forward, his gun aimed at Kuu*
Captain: I ain't scared of no devil fruit chick! Hiro, run! *Hiro wrenches free from her grip and the captain shoots.
the bullet rips through her shoulder and shattered ice scatters on the deck, her shoulder reforms itself*
, and ice shatters through,
flying across the deck*
Crew: Ahh!!! She's made of ice! Get her off here! Go away!
Kuu: *indifferently* A boat, if you don't mind
*crew scatters and drops a dinghy into the water, Kuu jumps into it*
Kuu: Thank you, gentlemen, and now I bid you farewell *starts rowing*
[after a few days of aimless sailing, Kuu lands on a mountainous island]
Kuu: *Talking to self* Well, finally. Land! Geez.. drifting aimlessly just isnt my thing. I really need a navigator..
*hears yelling off in the mountains* ...and maybe I'll find someone up there! *she heads toward the mountain, following the noise…*
