A/N Yays! I'm back! Miss me? I couldn't stay away from this chapter because a soon as I it home from school, someone reviewed my story an I suddenly got a whole new level I inspiration! So I'd you guys review, I'm more than likely to post another chapter! Anyways here was a comment about how thw ship is called the Going Merry, instea of the Merry Go but in the books its called tge Merry Go so thats what im sticking with :P. I don't own one piece! This will be in no ones POV by the way.

"WHAT!" multiple members of the straw hats screamed.

"Kazumi's dad is the famous pirate Red Haired shanks! His bounty is higher than Luffy's!" Nami yelled.

Luffy got a look of pure determination on his face as he said, "We don't have time to discuss tho right now. EVERYONE!" He yelle making sure the whole crew had his attention before he continued speaking. "Kazumi is our nakama, therefore we have to save her before it's to late!" He turned the demon tripplets as he asked, "Where can we find her?"

"We need to go to the top of the highest mountain on the island, that's where the alter is." Tinara explained as Tsubaki took off the clown nose ad headed to the front of the ship.

The crew quickly piled off the Merry go and sprinted towards the island, with Zoro in the middle so he couldn't get lost.

Usopp looked over to Tsubaki and saw a mixed expression on her face, filled with; pain, determination and most of all, he could tell that she wasn't afraid of anything. Usopp's face turned pink as he found his eyes wandering...

He quickly shook it away and contenued running. The crew was nearly there when they heard a loud scream that not only sounded demonic but also heard Kazumi's voice travel past them for only a second.

Everyone sped up in hopes that they weren't too late. They soon reached a cave leading underground. Zoro raced in first not waiting for the rest of the crew, and was only determined to get the only person he ha ever loved off of the island that had caused her so much pain in just a matter of hours. The entire island seemed to shake under their feet. As a matter of fact, it was.

As soon as he ran into the alter, he was speechless. No matter how mug he tried it seemed as if his brain itself had stopped working.

Kazumi was loathing inches above the ground above the alter, blood oozing out of the corners of her eyes. Her hair was now a raven black color and her nails were red as the blood smeared over her face.

Nami screamed at the sight before her, shocking Zoro out of his trance. The straw hat crew and the demon tripplets had expressions of horror over their faces.

None of them seemed to know what to do until Kazumi shouted "GET OUT OF HERE!" her voice frightened them all, for not only was her voice mad, but it was mixed in with the sound o the demon inside her screaming as well.

Luffy's face showed only Niger and detwrmination as e yelled back, "WERE NOT LEAVING HERE WITHOUT YOU!"

Kazumi started to cry, making hem look like a dark pink color as they treated down her face. "Dont you get it? I'm not your nakama! I never was and I never could be! I was born into his world to die! Now leave! I can't controll the demon for much longer!"

"You really are an idiot." Zoro said supprising everyone.

"ZORO THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK TO A LADY!" Sanji screamed at him.

"Luffy I need you to get everyone back on the ship. Don't worry, I can handle things here and I promise I'll be back with her." he said in a calm tone.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GO BACK TO THE SHIP!" Nami yelled almost in tears herself.

"Nami." Lufy said outing a hand on her shoulder in a comforting way. "Let's go." Nami froze and hesitantly agreed.

All of them left one fret another until only Zoro and Kazumi were left.

"Why are you still here?" She quietly said between sobs.

"I love you. That will never change, and if you expect me to just leave you here to die then you have a whole notched hint comming."

"B-but I'm a monster..."

"Your are not. You can't help it that the demon is inside you."

"But why me? I didn't do anything to deserve this!" She began sobbing uncrontrollably and her voice was slowly turning back to normal. "Why did any of this happen to me! Why did my brother have to be killed rich in front of me? Why was I abused for most of my life? WHY DO BAD HINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME!" he voice now raised and filled with anger. Her voice lowered to jut above a whisper when she said, "Why did a wonderful man fall in love with someone as pathetic and useless as me..."

Zoro remained silent for a few seconds before he said "Your perfect in every way. I may not know why bad things happen to good people. But I do know that no one is born into this life with no purpose. If you let yourself die here, the demon wins and your brother will have died in vain." that got her attention. He began to speak again "I know what it's like to loose someone you care deeply for. I know what it's like to face death. But we both have to face our problems. I would like to face my problems with you there to help me. But we can't do that if you throw that all away here."

She just stayed there, amazed that such a person would fall for her. She began to let the tears freely fall down her face and said, "Z-Zoro..." but sentence was cut off as she screamed in pain as the demon tried, once again to take over.

Zoro rushed up to her and helped set her feet back on the ground and wrapped his arms around her.

The demons voice replaced Kazumi's as it said "No matter what you do or say this body belongs to me now!"

Zoro smirked and suddenly became sure of himself as he said, "Sorry, but I don't think so! It's mine and you cant have it!" he jumped of the alter with Kazumi in his arms and ran out of the cave as it came crashing down back into the earth.

He felt her stop moving but still breathing and ran as fast as he could to the ship with Kazumi, bridal style in his arms.

He caught up he the crew and the tripplets about half way tithe boat and called to them.

Their faces showed relief as the saw the unconscious Kazumi In his arms. They slowed down only until Zoro caught up and then began running running full speed towards the Merry Go.

"Hurry! This island will be under water in less than five minutes!" Tinara said to them over the sound of mountains crashing.

They seemed to reach the ship just in time. As soon as they were all away from the island everyone collapse I the deck panting and gasping for air that couldn't reach their lungs.

Chopper still managed to run over to Zoro and said, "Can you carry her to my room, I want to make sure she's ok."

He simply stood up, without another word and followed the reindeer down the steps towards the medical ward. Zoro set her down carefully on the bed and pulled up a chair next to her as Chopper began to gathe medical supplies.

Zoro felt himself drifting in and out of consciousness as Chopper took his time bandaging up her wounds and cleaning the dried blood off her face.

Chopper finally said he was done and said he had to go check on the others, leaving the two alone.

Zoro waited for what seemed like hours for her to wake up, and just as he, himself nearly fall asleep, he heard her weakened voice say "Zoro, I'm sorry."

He slowly opened his eyes and gave her a small smile, and brushed her hair out of her eyes and said "You have nothing to be sorry for."

"Yes I do!" she insisted, "I almost killed the both of us and all because I fell in love with you! I feel cursed! Everyone I get close to always gets hurt! First my brother and then all of the crew could have died because of me!" she said breaking down into tears one again.

Zoro sighed heavily before deciding that because she loved music so much he could sing her a song. A song and only one song.

"You can't tell anybody I sing after this!" he told her seriously before singing (A/N I know it's not he best song to be singing but I thought it would be nice and it's stuck in my head :P)

Heart beats fast,

colors and promises.

How to be brave.

How can I love when I'm afraid,

to fall, but watching you stand alone,

all of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer.

Zoro took a small pause and just as he was about to start singing Kazumi stepped in to sing instead.

I have died every day, waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years.

I'll love you for a thousand more.

Time stands still, beauty and all she is.

I will be brave, I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me.

Every breath, every hour has led to this.

Zoro began singing along with her, both of them smiling.

One step closer, I have died every day, waiting for you.

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years.

I'll love you for a thousand more.

And all along, I believed I would find you.

They contenued to sing as they now held each others hands facing each other.

Time has brought your heart to me.

I have loved you for a thousand years

One step closer, one step closer.

I have died every day, waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a thousand years.

I'll love you for a thousand more.

And all along, I believe I would find you.

Time has brought your heart to me.

I have loved you for a thousand years.

I'll love you for a thousand more.

At the veylry end of the song the two leaned forward and shared a passionate kiss that could have lasted for a thousand years...
