I don't own One Piece.

Ace and Marco were gapping at Sabo smiling and talking with dark haired girl from before – Kuina, when Luffy came to them and asked: "Why no one told me Sabo's here too?"

"I didn't know" Ace said still watching blonde smile and laugh about music change.

"Luffy meet Marco he's student council president and my friend" Ace introduced his friend.

"Zoro what are you starring at?" Luffy asked his green haired friend who was openly gapping at Kuinas flat chest.

"Nothing" was answer.

Then teacher came in. "Alright, both classes listen. From today since other teacher is absent we're going to have classes together so be nice yo each other. My name is Shanks- to those new ones and you Sabo, since you never bothered to came. Today just play basketball..."

"Sensei I've got idea, how about me and Kuina will play against Marco, Ace and some first years?" Sabo proposed smiling widely.

"What are you playing, Outlook?" Marco asked.

Sabo laughed an said "Nothing, nothing I'm just wondering if rumours I heard are true."

"What rumours?" Luffy asked smiling.

"Not your business runt" Sabo said coldly.

"Alright. I'll let you play like this rest of class watch." Shanks said giving them ball.

Ace and Marco took Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Franky to their teem while Sabo was telling something to Kuina who just smiled a little and nodded.

First few minutes were normal. Sabo and Kuina started as smaller team and were just running around loosing ball all the time, everything changed when Marco scored first point. Immediately after receiving ball from Kuina Sabo started running towards opposing teams basket and on middle of field he send perfect shoot surprising everyone. "Let's start playing~" He sung smiling at Ace.

Rest of match was complete stomp from smaller teams side. Kuina was perfectly taking ball from other people and passing them to Sabo who was scoring three pointers from middle of field.

"Are you sure you don't want to join schools basketball team?" Shanks asked Sabo after match. Well he was their trainer so thats no surprise he did it.

"No, team sports aren't for me" blonde said and just left smiling sadly at Ace and Luffy.

...

Ace got no occasion to talk with Sabo after match since blonde disappeared and Kuina was just like 'It's not my business'. Inside girl was happy that they won and Zoro hadn't recognized her. Bigger problem were sports clubs which wanted her and Sabo to join them. Whenever she said 'No' to them they were getting more determined to recruit them. Like she got no other problems.

Judging from his behaviour after match Sabos memory was back or at least it's part. There was no way she could stay calm especially when during maths she spotted her friend go home with his head down. 'I''' visit him after school' she thought coming back to taking notes – Sabo'll need them.

After surviving school she did as she thought earlier she send message to her parents and went straight to Sabos home. His parents let him live alone in 'small' suite in most luxurious apartment.

Porter knew her so he let her in without any problems. Corridors were empty, no wonder everyone was in work or was resting after parties. She hadn't got to wait long for door to open.

"Oh its you" boy said noticing her "I thought it was my pizza" he added letting her in. "I thought you'll go home first." he explained his behaviour "want something to drink?"

Girl just nodded. He knew what she would chose so there was no need to say it. "Are you alright? You left school sooner than usually today, and you were strange after that match. Is something wrong?" she asked looking at him with worried look.

"No, my memory is coming back" he said. His voice was shaking. "I'm sacred Kuina. For first time I'm scarred." He said pouring her some lemon juice.

"Of what? Those are your memories." girl said. "Besides you're you, nothing will change it." she finished taking glass from him with smile.

It seemed to cheer him up and another ring of bell announcing pizza helped it.

Kuina silently waited as her friend was paying for pizza. As always his home was clean – no wonder maid was coming every week to clean place. When her host came back she smiled and said she's not hungry but he forced half of one of his five pizzas in her.

"About your memory" she started "want to talk about it? It may help you." she finished.

"You're right" blonde said smiling faintly "I may as well tell you about it..."

Next time some parts of Sabos past.

Another chapter. I hope it's not as bad as it seems.

Heh, since I'm back to health and I've got school chapters may appear in irregular periods of time.
