Chapter Two

"BROOK!" Usopp called, "Where are you?"

"GAHHHHH!" They heard a scream coming from the bathroom.

Everyone rushed to see what it was but all they saw was Brook staring into the mirror, his back to them.

"Gezz Brook, did you have to scare us like that?" Nami scoffed.

Brook was clasping his hands on his head; he seemed to be in shock.

"Hey Brook." Franky said putting a large ape like hand on Brooks shoulder. "Are you ok?"

The musician turned around and the crew gasped for what they saw was not a bony skeleton but a fleshy human face.

"What the hell happened?" Franky gawked.

"I-I have n-n-no idea." He said looking back at the mirror and examining himself. "This shouldn't be possible!" Brook exclaimed.

"What's wrong sis?" Yakumo ran to the bathroom and saw an ungodly sight, the dishes in her hands crashed to the ground and smashed into pieces. She held her hands to her mouth. "Sis?" She asked again.

"YAKUMO!" Tenma shrieked, "LOOK AT ME! I-I-I I'M A SKELETON!" She stared at the mirror, "How am I meant to go to school like this?" She whimpered, slumping onto the sink. "And... w-what will Karasuma think of me when he sees me like this!?" Even as a skeleton the astonishment and shock on Tenmas face was evident.

Yakumo just stared at her sister, her eyes wide and her hands to her lips in complete and utter shock.

"Calm down Brook." Nami said, poor Brook had started to hyperventilate.

"Look at me!" He exclaimed. He was acting the same way he did when he first discovered he was a skeleton.

"Hey guys what are you doing here?" Luffy asked curiously and walked into the room.

Brook was facing Nami and when Luffy saw him he exclaimed, "EHHHH WHO ARE YOU?!"

Brook flinched back, shocked at how dim-witted his Captain was.

"E-e-eh-eh I-It's me Brook!" He explained but Luffy wasn't buying it.

"No... Brooks a skeleton!" He frowned at his musician.

Nami had walked off into the other room and was just coming back, she held up a wanted poster next to Brooks face, it was his from when he was alive.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luffy shrieked. "You look just like... wait.." He stared at the poster and then at Brook, he then compared the images to his own memory. "I don't get it."

"HE'S BROOK YOU IDIOT!" Nami yelled hitting luffy on the head.

Luffy looked up and noticed Brooks Afro. "EHH IT IS BROOK!" He yelled.

Nami face palmed.

"Ei, what's that?" Luffy pointed to the golden chained necklace with a green gem around Brooks neck. "Why is it glowing?"

"Tenma."

"Eh?" She looked at her little sister.

"The necklace is glowing." Yakumo pointed at the gem on Tenmas neck, it was flashing from a light green and slowly toning down to a darker shade and lighting back up again.

"I don't know." Tenma moaned.

"Maybe if we take it off." Yakumo proceeded to remove the chain around her sister's neck but when she tried to lift it past her chin it wouldn't budge. It lit up a faint white shine every time it refused to pass that barrier.

Meanwhile Nami had the same idea, but the same problem occurred, the necklace couldn't be removed from Brooks neck.

Well there is the second Chapter :) It gets better I promise! So keep tuned ;D
