Title: Dark

Rating: PG

Characters: Robin


She had thought she was damned to be in the dark. That wishing for some aspect of her life to be light was foolish, that she was just being a stupid dreamer. But Nico Robin couldn't help but be that stupid dreamer even as she joined first this organization, then that. As the Government hunter her as though she was little more than a dog, the young girl wished for a way out.
When her last lead fell through and Crocodile's hood left it's mark on her skin, she couldn't help but mourn the fact that her entire life had been so... dark. Well, this time she'd welcome it. It would be some sort of rest at least.

Until Luffy had ruined all of her plans. He'd saved her, even when she didn't want it and she couldn't be more grateful.

Oh, she hadn't been at first, but then she considered it. So she'd boarded the Going Merry, taking a chance. She hadn't really thought this idea through, but it didn't matter. Just when she'd given up everything the stubborn captain had reminded her that there was light in this world.

And she'd keep on searching for it.

A/N: Reviews and critique are both rather awesomesauce.
