DISCLAIMER: I think you guys already know that I don not own One Piece. Hopefully, this chapter will be a little bit more exciting with some action and fighting.
Chapter 8
"Luffy! Luffy, where are you?" Tashigi yelled.
"Sighs, Now what? Where is everyone? I don't like the look of this. Kai was right, something isn't right here." Tashigi muttered to herself.
Suddenly, Tashigi heard a rustling of leaves from behind her. She unsheathed Shigure from her right hip and got into a battle stance.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" She yelled.
"Tashigi?" someone asked.
"Kai?" Tashigi softly asked.
Then, Kai came out of a bush and had some minor cuts and scrapes on her arms.
"KAI! What happened to you?" Tashigi asked worriedly.
"I got attacked by invisible archers. I have no idea where they came from. Not only that, but I nearly got squished by some huge ass rock monster thingie. I swear, I'm gonna kill Luffy when I find him." Kai said grumpily.
"Come on. Let's go look for everyone else. They have to be somewhere near here, right?" Tashigi asked.
"I don't know. Maybe, maybe not." Kai said.
Both of them started to look around the huge tropical forest in search of their friends. All of a sudden, two arrows shot out of nowhere and scraped Tashigi and Kai on the arms.
"SHIT! Not again!" Kai yelled as she and Tashigi started to run to look for a way out of the forest.
Five more arrows shoot out of nowhere, two barely missing Kai's face by an inch and one barely missing Tashigi's shoulder by two inches.
"Come on! Don't we get a break or something!" Tashigi yelled.
Both of them were starting to lose their patience.
"GRR! That's it!" Kai yelled angrily.
She stopped and turned around. Then, Kai's hands nd eyes started to glow black.
"SHADOW BLANKET!!" Kai yelled.
Suddenly, the whole forest was covered in shadows and Tashigi couldn't see a thing.
"KAI! Where are you?" Tashigi yelled.
Then, the shadows were gone and Kai was sitting down on the ground trying to catch her breath.
"KAI! Kai, are you okay?" Tashigi asked bending crouching in front of Kai.
"Sighs, Yeah. Just a little wiped out. Now, I really WILL kill Luffy when I find him." Kai said.
Tashigi just laughed as she helped Kai up.
"Let's go. I don't like this place one bit. Luffy should've listened to you." Tashigi said as they started to walk around.
"Thank you! Finally! Someone gets me!" Kai said.
Then, Tashigi tripped over a rock and pulled on Kai's arm making her fall on top of Tashigi. Then, they started to rool down a sand hill and then landed on the soft sand. (A/N: Think of a small snowball rolling down a snowy hill. They were like that.) Both of them were about five inches way from eachother.
"Ouch! Damn did that hurt. Did you have to yank my arm so harshly?" Kai asked as she helped Tashigi stand up.
"Sorry. I didn't know there was a rock there. Wait a minute. Where are we?" Tashigi asked as she started to look around.
"A waterfall. But, why is there sand around here as if it was a beach?" Kai asked.
Right in front of them, was the most gorgeous waterfall.
"Wow!! It's so beautiful. Do you think that maybe everyone found this place and is inside?" Tashigi asked.
"I don't know, maybe." Kai said.
Both of them went inside the cave of the waterfall. What shocked them wasn't the ancient writings and drawings on the wall, but that the inside of the cave looked like a medieval ballroom with treasure chests and maps.
"What the hell? The walls are so weird. They don't even fit with the room. What is going on?" Kai said as she started to try to decipher the words and drawings.
"Kai! Look at this." Tashigi said.
She was holding something shiny but Kai couldn't see what it was.
"What is it?" Kai asked as she walked over to Tashigi.
"Some kind of amulet." Tashigi said.
Kai held up the amulet and loked at it. The amulet was gold with a midnight black diamond in the middle.
"I have no idea why, but, I feel like I know this from somewhere." Kai said softly.
"Really?" Tashigi asked.
"Yeah." Kai said as she put the amulet on.
Then, all of a sudden, Kai fainted.
"KAI! Kai, wake up! Come on, Kai. Kai!" Tashigi yelled, desperately trying to wake up Kai.
But, Kai couldn't wake up for she was in a dream. A dream that will tell her why she is here and why she and Luffy are destined to meet.

Hey! Hope you liked this chapter. I don't know if this makes sense to you, but, this idea just popped into my head. I don't know if this was a good idea, but I'm just gonna try it out. Check out what happened to Kai in the next chapter. Bye!
