Thank You all for the reviews! It makes me really happy and keeps me writing so here's an early update, kinda sort though..
If i would put a mate for killer in this story it would be Kid, *sigh* i can't think of anyone else... Still thinking about it though...
Chapter 6
As the sleek vehicle pulled into the street an hour later, Law directed Killer towards the house that Luffy stayed in, not wanting to be accused of breaking into people's house in broad daylight; Law used his powers to flash himself into the house. His haki ability told him there was nobody at home at the moment, so he could intrude without alerting anyone.
Stepping into Luffy's house for the first time, he found himself in a cozy looking living room. It wasn't luxurious like the flamingo's house, despite the simple furnishing of the house; Law could sense the warmth that it provided the occupants. The house had three bedrooms on the second floor, one of them smelled like the other dark haired teen that inhabited the house, Ace, another like an older man, not the red haired one from the day before.
Having no trouble locating Luffy's room by scent he entered the room and laid the sleeping teen on the bed before covering the sleeping form with a blanket. Looking up, he allowed his eyes to wander the teen's room, it was decorated with poster from the popular pop bands of the era, it was a typical teenager's room. Wandering to wooden desk that stood by the window of the room, he found a small red book, peeking from under the stack of assignments. As he picked it up and flipped through the pages, he could hardly suppress his smirk, it was some sort of diary that his mate kept. Notes of all sorts were written in the book, from complaints about his sibling and teachers to the most random stuff, like what he ate that day. As he flipped to the last page, he froze, it was dated yesterday.
Today I ran into a new guy, Mihawk-sensei said his name was Torao Law i think, he was an interesting fellow, but after homeroom he seemed to be avoiding me, I wonder why? Was it something I said? He didn't look at me when I said goodbye to him either, I think he hates me or something. Earlier, I saw something by the living room window, I think I must be dreaming or something, cause I thought I saw someone by standing there, with these grey eyes I think…
NOTE: Torao Law is a nice guy, I like him, and so I will make him my friend starting tomorrow
Law lean frame trembled slightly, Luffy saw him yesterday…Well not exactly, but Luffy knew that someone was watching him yesterday; it scared and surprised Law at the same time. Deep in his own thoughts, he didn't hear the front door close down the hallway until he heard a voice call out.
"Luuuuuffy?"
The tanned vampire cursed under his breath as the small book dropped from his hands and onto the table with a soft thump. Unable to think of a logical escape route in time, he did the first thing that came to his mind. He threw open the windows and leapt down to street level, the moment the soles of his feet touched the ground, he ran with unnatural speed back to the waiting car, not stopping until he slammed the black door behind him.
He was lucky, the moment Law had jumped of the second floor, Luffy's brother had entered the room and saw nothing but a whirlwind of papers, flying everywhere due to the open window.
"Oi Luffy! What are you doing?! Sleeping with the window open?" Ace snapped, rushing towards the window and slamming it shut.
At the sound of his brother's voice, Luffy's eyes snapped open instinctively, in time to see the paper storm settle down on his bedroom floor.
"Ace? What are you-ouch…" Luffy's sentence got cut shot as pain shot up his body when he tried to sit up.
Seeing his brother grimace in pain wasn't an everyday matter for Ace, especially if the pain wasn't cause by him or the old man. His brows furrowed together as he watch Luffy struggle to push himself from the bed.
"What's wrong Lu? You alright?" Ace asked, his voice lace with concern for the younger
As Luffy sat on his bed, he took a few seconds to realize that this was not the school's infirmary, he tried his best his best not to show his shock at his current location but he was bad at hiding things, and Ace knew it. The frown that marred his face deepened as shock blossomed on Luffy's face, the said teen was currently glancing around his room like it was the first time he saw it.
"Erm…Yeah, I'm fine Ace….I'm just feeling a little tired today." Luffy replied, looking back at his brother.
"Really?" Ace questioned suspiciously, "Then why do you look like you just fell of the stairs and rammed into the wall?"
"That's because I did! In school, today, I didn't see where I was going and rolled down the stairs," Luffy replied, stretching his body slight, wincing at the sharp pain that shot up his body.
Usually Ace wouldn't have believed the younger D, but the pained expression was a really good convincer, Luffy couldn't act even if his life depended on it, so it must be real.
"You sure you don't need to go to the doctor or something?"
"No, I went to the nurse already, so it should be fine. I just need to rest, my body reaaaaaally hurts." Luffy emphasized, hoping Ace would leave the room and let him think in peace
"Fine, just one more thing, how did you get home if you can barely move?"
"Uhmmmmm….welll….A friend sent me home." Luffy answered, hoping he was right.
"Ok, still doesn't explain why the door latch wasn't unlocked when I came home though…." Ace murmured, turning to leave, "I'll get Shanks to call the school later, you'll be staying at home tomorrow to rest, and no sweets for you!"
Ignoring Luffy's gapping mouth; he strode briskly out of the door and closed it behind him.
NO SWEETS FOR A DAY?!
That was equivalent to torture for the poor teen….
AH! Forget that now! How did I even get home? The last thing I remembered before sleeping was…..OH MY GOD!
At the thought of the last event, Luffy felt heat crawling to his cheeks; the last thing he did was attack Law and spouted a load of stuff that probably scared the new guy off in a hurry.
I can't believe I did that…I think he probably thinks I have a loose screw or something….I should apologize to him, but I'm not going to school tomorrow….So….What should I do? What should I do? Oh man…I think I'm going to have a panic attack…
Just then, the door to his room opened and his godfather walked in with a tray of food, surprising Luffy at how much time had passed since his inner turmoil started.
"Hey Luffy, I heard from Ace you fell of the stairs at school." The red haired man stated, "Were you looking at some pretty girl?"
"Wh-What? Shaaaanks!" Luffy stuttered, his face heating up.
" Hahahahhaha!I'm just kidding anchor, relax!" Shanks roared with laughter, placing the tray in front of Luffy, bending down to collect the papers that littered the floor, he continued, "I'm going to call Makino later so you can rest at home tomorrow, but Ace and I won't be at home."
Luffy froze when he heard Shanks mention Makino; you could practically see a light bulb going off in his head.
"Ne Shanks…..Can you do something for me later?"
"Hmm?" the older male looked at Luffy in surprised, placing the stack of papers he collected back on the desk.
"When you call Makino-san later, can you ask her for my classmate's phone number?"
"Phone number?"
"He's new so I haven't really gotten his number yet and he helped me earlier and I haven't thanked him properly yet, plus I'm not going to school tomorrow and-"
"Okay,okay, I got it!" Shanks laughed cutting the teen off; Luffy was starting to babble, "What's his name?"
"Uhmm….I can't pronounce his first name, something like Torao Law."
That's it for this chapter! :) will update again soon, more Law in the next chapter.
