Oh, and just to clear some confusion up, here are some guideline about some the various way I use the text in this chapter:
"TEXT LIKE THIS"=high pitch or shouting quotes.
"(text like this)"=quotes that are express under one's breathe.
"word with this~"=word that being stretch out, so instead of 'Ooooooh' it would be like 'Oh~'.
Chapter 01: The Awakening
It was Natsumi and Fuyuki's turn to look in shock at the sky blue Keronian. Not only had it call itself a 'frog' and not a 'Keronian', but also act as if it was the first time it had notice its form. "H-Hey, are you okay there?" ask the worry Fuyuki, startling the female Keronian who apparently just notice that she wasn't alone.
The sky blue Keronian looked at the two kids, half frighten and half confuse. "W-W-Who are you?" she asked, taking a couple of steps back.
"Well, I'm Fuyuki Hinata and this is my big sister Natsumi," Fuyuki indicate his still puzzled sister who merely wave at the alien, "and, to put a long story short, I brought you here to my house because you were kind of dehydrated when I found you."
After a brief silent, the Keronian, now seemingly calm down a bit, spoke. "T-Thank you for helping me out, kid. My name is Nami." She quickly made a small head bow to show her gratitude. "But may I ask if you know how I end up in this body?"
"Huh," ask the startle Natsumi, "you mean you weren't a Keronian before?"
"A 'Keronian'…is that what I'm supposed to be now?" Nami looked down at herself in wonders.
"Well, if you weren't a Keronian before, than what were you?"
"Well, I was like you two, only older by maybe a year or two…"
"W-WHAT…wait, you're saying you used to be human?"
"Yep," Nami smile at the two sweat drop children. Fuyuki then remember about the other two Keronians.
"Say Nami, do you know who are those two over there on the couch?" Fuyuki pointed at the couch.
Nami directed her eyes over to the two strange looking frogs. She stared at them hard trying to remember if they were familiar in any way. "I'm sorry Fuyuki, but…" then she notices the straw-hat and the three swords, "Wait, that Luffy and Zoro! I can recognize that straw-hat and those swords anywhere!"
"Friends of your, I presume?"
"Yeah," Nami stated before she jumped up onto the couch and landed next to the forest green frog, "TIME TO WAKE UP ZORO!" She stomped down on the Keronian's, now identify as Zoro, stomach.
The action woke him almost immediately. "UGH…WHAT THE HELL," Zoro yelled as he clutch his stomach. He quickly sat up to find the causer of the pain only to find a strange unfamiliar face staring at him. "Huh? Who, and what, are you?"
The sky blue Keronian gave Zoro a sly, almost familiar, look before she spoke in an even more familiar voice, "Ha, it good to see that you hadn't change much on the inside at least, Zoro."
Zoro was flabbergasted for a few second. "N-NAMI…?" Zoro pointed at her confusedly before he notices that his own hand was different, "W-What the hell…?" From out of nowhere, Nami handed him a hand mirror. Zoro's face, in Nami opinion, was priceless as he stared at his reflection with his eyes widen and jaw dropped. His sharp looking eye went entirely blank. "W-W-WHAT THE HELL I AM?"
"Well," Nami started as she took back the mirror, trying hard not to burst out laughing, "according to what those kids behind me said, we are now something called 'Keronian'. Oh, and just to let you know, they helped us so don't go accusing them of our conditions." She indicated Fuyuki and Natsumi, who were still sweat dropping from Nami's action.
"H-Hi, my name is Natsumi Hinata and this is my younger brother Fuyuki," the female Hinata introduced.
"Oh hello there, thanks for helping us (even though I have no idea how you helped us). Anyway…" Zoro glared back at Nami, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU STOMPED ON ME FOR NAMI?"
"WELL YOU WERE ALWAYS A HEAVY SLEEPER SO IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I CAN THINK OF TO WAKE YOU UP!" Nami shouted back defensively.
"WHAT? DO YOU REALLY THINK I WILL STAY ASLEEP DURING SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT?" Zoro try to counter only to receive a "YES" from Nami. "WELL AT LEAST I'M NOT AS NAKED AS YOU, STRIPPER!" Zoro pointed out, only to realize that probably that wasn't the best counterargument to say at the moment. It was already too late…
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING-" Nami started before realizing what he was talking about. Her face went entirely red as she desperately tries to cover up her 'revealing' parts. "KYAAH, I'VE BEEN VIOLATED! DON'T LOOK!"
"OH COME ON, OUR BODY LOOKS ALMOST THE SAME NOW! DON'T…"
"I SAID DON'T LOOK…!" Nami angrily shout as she punched Zoro in the face hard. He was sent flying to the wall behind him.
"Ouch~," Zoro manage to say as he hit the floor leaving a crater behind in the wall.
Natsumi, realizing it was human 'girl's thing', ran to the kitchen and brought back a small apron. She handed it to the still embarrass Nami, who look at her questionably. "It not much, but it will do for the time being," Natsumi comfort.
Nami looked down at the apron for a moment before her watery eyes return to the female Hinata. "Oh~, thank you so much Natsumi-chan! You're the only one who understands me."
"Don't mention," Natsumi smile as Nami hastily put on the apron and the dazed Zoro got up, grumbling as he did. Fuyuki now really believes that these Keronians really were human before. They were acting too out of synch to be faking about it. He looked down at the last remaining sleeping Keronian.
"So how are you going to wake this one," Fuyuki question before sweat dropping, "You're not going to do the same thing again, are you Nami?"
"Him," Nami asked indicating the ruby red frog. Fuyuki nodded as Nami sigh. "Nah, he'll never wake up even if we pound him a hundred times. There is a better way, though," She then turned to Zoro and began to speak in a sweet, almost seductive, tone, "Zoro~, do you mind~…"
Zoro glared at her, but decided it was best to just play along. "HEY LUFFY, IT'S LUNCH TIME!" Fuyuki and Natsumi sweat drop at the shout. How was saying that it was lunch time going to wake him up? To their surprise, the ruby red Keronian, now known as Luffy, immediately sat up.
"IT'S LUNCH TIME! ALL RIGHT, SANJI START COOKING NOW! FOOD, MEAT, FOOD~, MEAT~," Luffy finally open his eye, revealing that he was in a strange unfamiliar room. Even more startling was that there were two unfamiliar kids and two strange looking bipedal frogs. The frogs gave him a strange feeling, as if they were familiar…very familiar. After a moment of silent, he smiles at the two strange frogs. "Hey Nami and Zoro, how did end up looking like that? Though you don't look that bad…"
Nami and Zoro were startled from being recognizes so easily by Luffy. Apparently, they were expecting a different reaction. After some time to regain their composure, they sigh in amazement. "Wow, it took me and Zoro some time to recognize each other and you did it almost instantly," Nami chuckle, "Well, that's Luffy for you…"
"By the way Luffy, you don't look so bad yourself," Zoro smirked. Luffy was a bit confused by the comment.
"Huh," Luffy ask before he look down at his own body, "HEY MY BODY IS DIFFERENT TOO…oh well." Everyone beside Luffy anime dropped at the last remark.
"This guy doesn't let much worry him, huh?" Natsumi ask Nami, who simply nodded.
"By the way Nami, what with the apron," Luffy ask, pointing at Nami's apron.
"I WAS NAKED FOR GOD SAKE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ZORO. THIS WAS THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT, OKAY?" Nami volume angrily, upset with the 'stupid' question.
"Wait, hold on Nami. You're okay showing off your privacy to everybody else to rip them off for some cheap money, but you freak out when Zoro see you naked?" Luffy ask curiously.
All eyes fell on the speechless Nami, who stared at Luffy in shock. Zoro began to wonder the same thing, now that Luffy mention it. "W-W-W-Well, what happen at the hot bath was an entirely different story," Nami struggle to find an explanation, "b-b-b-beside, I was totally not intending to do it this time. I-I-I was caught complete off-guard and…" Nami whole face went completely red as she looked down.
"Ahem," Natsumi intervene, deciding to change the subject, "Anyway, I'm Natsumi Hinata and this is my younger occult-freak brother Fuyuki. He's the one who found and save you all from dehydration, which could have killed all you in your current state…"
As Luffy thank Fuyuki, Nami whisper to Natsumi, "Thanks for changing the subject for me Natsumi-chan. That was so awkward…"
Natsumi wink at her, "No problem Nami. It's not easy to hide your feeling for someone you love in a situation like that by yourself."
Nami blinked, slightly blushing, "W-What…how…I mean, what…"
"I'm going through something similar, so it's easy for me to see. Don't worry; your secret is safe with me."
Nami smile, "Thanks."
"So Nami, Zoro, and I are now 'Keronian', huh?" Luffy once again looked at himself. "What kind of creature is that, Fuyuki?"
"Well," Fuyuki began but was interrupted by the forcefully open door. Everyone looked toward the door to see another Keronian. He wore a yellow cap with a red star on its front and had a yellow star sticker on his belly. His eyes were large and his pupils were total black. He was Sergeant Keroro; the Commanding Officer of the Space Invasion Force Special Advance Team of the 58th Planet of the Gamma Storm Cloud System, and boy was he mad as hell.
"WHAT'S WITH ALL THE RACKETS, PEKOPONIAN CLOWNS? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ACCOMPLISH ANY MAKING OF GUNPLA IF YOU ALL WON'T KEEP IT DOWN! I…" Keroro stop his lecture as he notices the three new Keronian in the room. There was a long silent before the Sergeant face went serious, "INTRUDERS!"
Sorry for leaving you hanging here. Just wait until next, until please review...anything actually...I'm even willing to accepted bad reviews. Just tell me if I'm doing something WRONG!
Anyway, next time the entire Keroro Platoon as they battle the three new Keronians. Will Luffy, Zoro, and Nami hold out, and will another Keronian shows up? All this will be answer on the next chapter. Stay tune and find out...
