Chapter 6: Fire Fist Ace!

Yuki let out a miserable groan as she laid on her ice chair she made using her powers. The StrawHats were on their way to Alabasta and Luffy wasn't around. He went to look for his brother and had been missing in action since.

The sun was taking a toil on Yuki, being in the scorching sun was burning her pale milky white skin. She hardly went out of her room. In Atlanta, it was often cold, below freezing point. Yuki took many dives in the sea with Momo but nothing helped. She couldn't help but feel lethargic from the heat.

"Yuki-swannn! I've made a refreshing beverage for you," Sanji beamed as he placed some juice on the table. Yuki gave a smile as she feebly reached for the drink. "Thank you, Sanji-kun." It had been nearly a week since she stayed with the Strawhat pirates. They were funny, awesome and nice. Yuki would only step out when it was late in the evening when the sun wasn't so harsh.

"There's Luffy!" Nami called out. It was followed by a huge crash and the sound of Sanji cursing loudly. "You bastard! Don't you know your own strength?!" Sanji screamed, grabbing Luffy by the shoulders and shaking him hard. "I outta throw you overboard!" He cursed at Luffy. Nami pointed a finger at Luffy. "Yeah, you've caused a lot of trouble you know! Try to act more like a captain would ya?" Nami scolded. Luffy gave Nami a blank look. "Sorry," he suddenly sat up. "Oh yeah, Ace!"

Yuki's POV

Oh my gosh. The heat is gonna cook me alive! I stand up and make my ice chair again. Thanks to the heat, I have to make a new one every hour. I even have to make one for Usopp, Luffy and Chopper, they practically begged me, which is hard since they can't control water, the ice melts within 10 minutes.

I hear a huge commotion. I can faintly make out Luffy's laugh as he brags about something. It's too muffled up to hear them. My ears prick at the sound of someone new. Strange, he must be Luffy's brother. My mind debates whether to get off the ice chair and drag myself out of the room to greet Luffy's brother or to stay in the comfort of the room and take a nap. I take the easier route and lie down again. I'll say hi to Luffy's brother later. My eyelids feel heavy and slowly, I close my eyes and drift off into a fitful sleep.

...

"Yuki..." The mention of my name makes the hair on my neck stand. That voice. I blink. There was snow all around. Where am I? One minute I'm in Merry, the ship, and suddenly... I'm in... Atlanta? My stomach turns and I blink around anxiously. 'This is a dream, it can't be real!' I say to myself. I can't be back in Atlanta. How did he find me?

I slip out of the room. Not a single soul. The ship was covered with a thick layer of snow. "Luffy! Chopper? Nami?!" My voice wobble as I struggle to contain my fear. "Do you think you can escape?" A snake-like voice hissed. That voice again. His jet-black hair, and that mouth twisted in a sadistic smile pops in my mind. The very figure that haunts me. "You'll return to Atlanta... And you will pay for running away..." He hisses again.

I began to get dizzy, my world spinning around. I hear the mad barks of creatures. "Get away from me!" I croaked, trying to use my powers to protect myself. The creatures, called 'vermins' were demons from Atlanta. They had two heads. With lion like claws and a mouth like a shark, it was a terrible creature used to torture people for their wrongdoings.

Two vermins run towards me, their long claws poised to attack their prey. Me.

...

I woke up with a jump. I was sitting on the floor, wet with seawater and sweat. I flinched as a sharp intense pain from my back spread towards the rest of my body. Shivering, I went to the side of my bed and grabbed a towel. 'It was only a dream,' I said to myself. A horrible one. I never had such dreams before, not this intense. I peeled off my wet clothes and pulled on a clean tank top and shorts. Using my powers, I effectively remove water from my hair with ease. I was given a new outfit, very much like what Nami wore, bikini top and baggy pants with a cloak but I'm not happy wearing such little clothing covering my back.

I grab my jacket. That dream felt so real... I furiously rubbed my eyes and willed for the tears to stop. 'As a princess, you shouldn't be so weak as to cry, Yuki!' I think to myself. Braving a smile, I walk out of the room.

"Hey guys-"

A guy, wearing black pants, boots and an orange hat was standing a few meters away from me. His face was peppered with freckles. He had a easy smile, laughing as he talked to Luffy.

"Ace?"

So, it was pretty hard to do the 'dreaming' part. Hope it turns out well. By the way, I'm wondering if you guys want to see more drawings of Yuki and/or Ace. I might make a devianart account so that you guys can check it out. Let me know! Do review and thanks :p
