Chapter I
Island getaway

Seagulls called to each other in the warm morning's sun over the deep blue ocean. Waves crashed on the sandy shore and a small teen girl began to wake up on the sandy shore; waves gently crashing over her.

Her stomach rumbled Errr hungry… she said in her head.If anyone was around to ask LC how she felt that day she would of used the words 'shit' and 'totally confused i need a coffee'.

Seventeen year old LC had long wavy sun kissed brown hair that flowed down to the end of her back, eyes deep crimson brown, a golden tan and a petite build and not to mention short. LC slowly stood up spitting salt water out of her mouth as she got up. She had stood up she stretched her arms above her head and tried her best to brush off the sand on her hip hugging but some what loose fitting grey with pink pin stripe above the knee shorts with the ends folded up and a tight fitting black polo shirt which had a picture of a ship with 'Marines' written under it, both in silver embroidery. She fixed her collar up and popped it as she always does. The young girl soon relised that her katanas and her gun were missing but soon found them just in front of her on the sand. She grabbed the black leather belt which had a piece that went down the left side with three loop holes and tied it comfortably around her small waist. Picking up her large silver sniper rifle she attached it to another black leather strap that went over her left shoulder, down to her right hip and then back up to her left should again. LC looked around again and found she was on an island so she decided to start walking…

Three days had already passed and LC fell to her knees in the cold wet sand. It felt nice and cool on her knees and some what refreshing. The waves lapped at her tiny knees and gently splashed her shorts as they did.

LC looked around her still with her knees in the wet sand "Where am i?" she said under her breath.

As she tried to get up she lost her footing in the wet sand and fell onto her knees again so again she slowly got up and this proved a better option.

LC looked up at the sun "It must me around midday" she said to herself again.

LC looked at her arms which were beginning to turn red; she had to get out of the sun and up the shade. She slowly and trudged up the sand to a group of shady palm trees and the beginning of what it looked to be a lush dense jungle.

"i made it! Ahh this shade is cool yeah mmm" LC said excitedly.

She looked down at the sand and picked a spot up against one of the large palm trees. She slowly sat down making sure not to get her weapons in the way and leaned back onto the palm's trunk. And sure enough she soon dozed off.

A day had passed on the island and a grand but strange looking pirate ship threw its anchor into the shollow clear water of the island.

"We're here!" Luffy cried out as he jumped off the Going Merry.

Zoro rolled his eyes "Wow an island HOW interesting, i'm bored already" he jumped off the ship and onto the sandy shore and kicked up the sand in protest.

Robin and Nami then let down a long rope ladder and climbed down, soon followed by Chopper, Usopp and Sanji.

Robin and Nami walked up the beach and took off their tops, showing off their bikini tops and laid down on the beach.

"We're going to catch some rays" Nami said closing her eyes.

Sanji soon had love heart eyes as he spotted the two girls lying on the beach.

"Oh Nami-swan, Robin-chan you are like two flowers blossoming in the sunshine please let me join you!" Sanji said quickly taking his shirt off and trying to squeeze between Nami and Robin.

"Get out of it you ero-cook!" yelled Zoro as he punched Sanji in the face causing him to fly and then hit the side of the Going Merry with force.

THUMP

Sanji slid down the side of the ship and fell into a pile at the bottom.

Sanji jumped up dusting off his clothes "What did you do that for! No dinner for you shitty swordsman!" Sanji said screaming his head off at Zoro who really didn't care much.

"Well stop perving you stupid asshole! Don't you get they don't love you geez get a hit Sanji" Zoro said inches away from Sanji's face baring his teeth.

Sanji turned his back to Zoro and folded his arms "You're just jealous because i get more ladies than you do shitty-swordsman" added by a smirk.

The swordsman rolled his eyes "At least i have the better body…why don't you go do something useful with yourself and go fetch food like a good emo-looking cook you are"

Sanji's jaw dropped into the sand and he quickly turned around "EMO! WHO ARE YOU CALLING EMO? i'm a happy, girl loving blonde and i've NEVER cut my wrists i'll have you know"

Zoro raised his right brow as he watched Sanji spit out the sand he'd gotten in his mouth "Whatever"

Sanji glared and Zoro and then blew a cloud of smoke towards him which clouded around his mossy colored hair for a while.

Sanji slowly walked up the beach towards the jungle and called out in his smooth voice "Who's coming with me?" he looked over his shoulder at Luffy who was always up for an adventure.

Luffy grinned and nodded "i'll come!" Luffy said with excitement.

"Me three!" called out Usopp.

"Wait for me you guys!" said Chopper running off after the group of guys.

Zoro looked around to see what he could do. Well there is no one to fight yet so i guess i'll go for a run to pass time Zoro said in his head.

"i'm going for a run" Zoro said to Robin and Nami.

"Yeah huh sure Mr. Burshido you do that" slowly said Robin who really wasn't that interested in what Zoro was doing.

Zoro was already in blue denim knee length shorts with had white pinstripes through it, he took off his black t-shirt and tucked it into the back of his pants. He made sure that his three katanas were safely by his right side and with that he began to run through the soft sand.

After half and hour of pushing himself through the soft sand with the hot morning sun bearing down on his muscular back. Zoro was feeling the heat and decided to make his way up the sandy beach and chill out in the shade….and maybe catch a few Z's. As he made his way up the beach he noticed some marks in the sand, not of an animal but of a person. He kneeled down and looked at them.

Someone must have had a bit of a struggle; they don't look bad though… Zoro thought as he looked at them closer.

He stood back up and looked around to see if there was anyone around but nothing. I can't see anything…oh well must be nothing…man i'm tired…hmm that tree over there looks pretty shady… He thought in his mind and trudged up the beach and to the tree he was eyeing off.

As he got to the tree he noticed something strange about the tree, there laying under the tree was a body.

Zoro's eyes widened is that a person dead? That's disgusting someone should clean it up seriously man.

Zoro kicked the body lying under the tree to see if they were actually dead. Nothing. So he kicked the body again; but this time fairly hard. Nothing. So he pulled out two of his katanas and swung one towards the persons face.

CHING!!! Made the sound of swords being clashed together.

Zoro couldn't believe what just happened; he was in shock. There partly sitting up was a young girl with a katana held above her head stopping Zoro's katana from striking her.

He could hear her deep breaths which was taking every bit of strength she had left in her body. There was sweat and sand covering her body and face. Her hair was a mess and she smelt of sweat and seawater which was not a nice odor.

Zoro swiftly took his swords and put them away and stood back looked down at the young girl.

"Sorry bout that i just needed to see if you were actually dead" said Zoro bluntly.

"i'm not dead! Well almost…" LC fell back onto the sand and closed her eyes.

Zoro didn't know what was going on. Who was this girl? Why was she alone? And what was she doing back on the ground?

"Will you get up i don't have time for this" Zoro said folding his arms.

But nothing came from the girl who was lying on her back with her eyes closed.

There was silence for a few seconds and then LC decided to speak again.

She opened one eye and looked at the not impressed Zoro "Your still here? What do you want" LC mumbled still with her eyes closed.

He rose an eyebrow "i just wanted to know why you are in such a feral state all by yourself in the middle of know where"

LC opened her eyes and sat up. She looked at the ground beside her and said "Well i kind of just woke up here and then i walked for a few days and just passed out i spose. i don't know where i am to be honest"

Zoro wasn't listening and looked around. He thought for a second. How'd she end up washing up on a secluded island like this one and where was she headed and why?

"Are you even listening?" LC asked.

Zoro looked down at her "Sorry i wasn't…so how did you end up here?"

LC sighed "i told you i just kind of woke up here but before that my ship capsized in a huge storm a few days now and i must of got knocked out or something cos' i remember nothing"

"Yeah huh and where are you headed?" Zoro said trying to sound slightly interested.

"i'm not totally sure…just looking for an adventure i guess" LC said standing up in the cool sand. She grabbed her katanas and her rifle and strapped them to her tightly.

Zoro stood back as the girl stumbled past him and began trudging up the beach. He didn't know where she was going but he figured in the state she was in it was most likely that she was going to…

THUMP

…fall back on the ground.

LC fell onto the sand again; she was too hungry, tired and exhausted to walk.

Zoro walked over to LC who wasn't moving and laughed. There was no way she could walk so he might as well take her back to the Going Merry and spare her pathetic excuse for a life. So Zoro bent down and went to pick her up noticed the back of her shirt had "MARINES" written on it. He took a step back as it surprised him. But it didn't look like your average white Marines shirt all the rest of them wore it was as if she made it herself but still Zoro had never liked the Marines.

Sorri that beginning was totally random! This is my first fan fic so it's going to be a bit lame. But anyways who is the LC chick anyways & is Zoro just having a case of bad paranoia? Looks like you'll just have to read on & find out
