Chapter 4 It's Gonna be Alright

ME: Hi peoples sorry this chap took so long I uhh…

Luffy: have no excuse!

Me: No I uhh yeah I got nothing.

Luffy: thought so, so when do I get my meat?

Me: *sigh* Here *tosses Luffy meat*

Ace: Enjoy the Chapie!

Luffy: oh and before I forget this is written in Amaya-chi's POV!

I stood abruptly staring at the sight of Luffy hanging onto the side of a cliff by one arm. I quickly snapped out of my trance and ran over to where Luffy was. As he was letting go of the edge I grabbed his hand and dug my heels into the soft dirt, trying to keep us both from plummeting into the water below.

"BAKA, how the hell did you get down there!"

He didn't reply, he kept his head tilted down so that his bangs cast a shadow over his eyes trying to keep me from seeing the tears that were rolling down his cheeks.

"Amaya-chi…..just let me fall…."

I was utterly shocked to hear words like that coming out of Luffy's mouth I mean this is Luffy we're talking about, you know the happy upbeat kid with that uplifting attitude and smile.

"What did you say? I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you properly. Now could you repeat that?"

"I said to just let me fa-"

"Bullshit."

"Wha-"

"Absolute bull shit! What do you always keep telling me? Never give up. So what the hell? This isn't like you at all. What's gotten into you Luffy?"

He didn't say anything, but his body started shaking with sobs.

"B-but aren't I a monster? A freak?"

"What?"

"All those other kids said that I was a monster who shouldn't be alive.."

I pulled Luffy up immediately and tilted my head down so that my bangs cast a shadow over my eyes.

"Who the hell said that?"

"Huh?'

"Who the hell said that you shouldn't be alive dumbass! I won't ask again, who said it?"

"I-It doesn't matter."

For the first time I looked Luffy over and saw that his body was covered in cuts and bruises especially his face.

"Luffy….this is serious, someone was actually trying to kill you."

He gave no reply and kept his face hidden .

"…."

"Fine, I'll let Ace handle this one, buuut-"

I sat down behind Luffy and gave him a big hug.

"Next time they so much as bump into you they're dead."

Luffy let out a sniffle and started sobbing in my arms.

"Whoa, it's alright Luffy, its gonna be alright."

(Time skip-right before Luffy leaves on his adventure)

"Oi! Luffy!"

"Oh hey Amaya-chi! What are you doing up so early this morning?"

"Don't play dumb Luffy."

"Uhhhh…..hehehe"

"Look I know you were just about to leave and I wanted to give you a present."

"Oooohh let me see let me see!"

"Alright alright, just calm down already."

I dug in the back pocket of my shorts and brought out a blue crystal on a string that you could wear around your neck. I placed it in his open hands, closed them over it, and took a few steps back knowing that it would be the last time I saw daylight for a long time. At the same time a blue pillar of light surrounded me and the crystal in Luffy's hands began to shine brilliantly. The pillar got smaller and smaller until my world turned dark.

Me: Soooo how was it? *big hopefull puppy eyes*

Luffy: It was awesome Nymphy-chi! ^^

Me: Why thank yo- Nymphy-chi again *sigh* I'm never going to win am I?

Lufyy&Ace: Nope

Ace: You should be used to it by now Nymphy-chibi

Me: YOU that's it NYMPH SMASH *throwing random and heavy objects*

Ace&Luffy: make sure to review *both dodging flying furniture*
