CRASH!
Sabo managed to duck his head in time as the newly awakened Koala managed to hurl an empty pot at his head. " WATCH IT!" He growled.
" OH! I'LL FUCKING WATCH IT!" Koala snarled, lifting another pot and aimed it.
Sabo growled low and before she had time to react he had her pinned securely between himself and the wall. The hand that held the pot was now high above her head, held in his tight grip.
" LET GO!" Koala snapped, struggling against him.
" Not until you stop destroying my den!" Sabo growled hungrily, willing his body to not react at her touch.
" FUCK YOU, BASTARD!"
" My parents were a mated pair, so I am no bastard." Sabo said sarcastically. " Whether they accepted me or not is not up for debate. Now, if you'll stop acting like a mammoth with hemorrhoids and diarrhea then I will explain why you are here."
" WHAT DID YOU JUST REFER TO ME AS?"
Sabo groaned as she squirmed harder against him, her anger intensifying. Her soft curves rubbing against his front. Her scent wafting with each move she made. He cursed Ace for the fact that this was how he met his Mate.
" KOALA, JUST CALM DOWN AND I'LL EXPLAIN!"
The fact that he had used her name caused her to pause. " Are you calm?"
The look of hatred in her eyes gave him his answer.
" May I have the pot?"
The angry silence was hard for him to interpret.
" Please…? I rather like this one…and it was hard for me to make…"
" You made this?" She asked, relaxing slightly.
" Not very manly but yes, I did make it…" Sabo said his black eyes not wavering from her own. " May I have it?"
" You're very polite for a kidnapper."
" I'm not a kidnapper." Sabo growled angrily.
" Well, pardon my slip! I always thought when someone was taken against their will that it meant they had been kidnapped…and the person who toke them was the kidnapper!" Koala snapped, tightening her hold on the pot.
" It's complicated." Sabo said gruffly. " I can explain if you'd just let me have the pot."
Koala watched him warily as she lowered her hand to give him the pot. Taking it from her he backed away slowly, allowing her to have enough room to feel slightly safer but not so much so that she could dart away or pick up something else to hurl at him.
" Koala…I really don't know how to explain this." He said rubbing the back of his head.
" Start with how you know my name!" She demanded.
" I know a lot about you, actually." Sabo said setting the pot down, all the while maintaining eye contact with her. " I know that your favorite color is yellow, to match the sun and the flowers that used to grow near your parents den. I know that when you laugh your eyes crinkle a little bit and if you really laugh then you snort a little. I know that you enjoy swimming in the evening so that the water is still warm enough from the afternoon sun but you still get to enjoy the twilight sky…"
He broke off when he saw the confusion in her eyes. He watched her rub her arm uncomfortably as she continued to watch him, unsure what to make of him. " But most of all, I know how much you hate being alone…how it reminds you of the night the panthers came to your pack and took you from your parents…and how they wiped out your entire pack."
" H-How do you know all of this about me?"
" Take a close look at me…" Sabo said softly to her surprise. " Do I look familiar?"
Koala stared wide eyed at the male in-front of her. She stared into his kind black eyes and knew that he meant her no harm. Her gaze shifted from those beautiful eyes to the mop of shaggy blonde hair and down to his well muscled chest.
She felt a twinge of pain go through her at the sight of the scars that littered his body. For some reason the thought of him being harmed hurt her deeply. She hated the very thought of it.
The one scar that caught her eye was the burn mark that ran from his forehead down over his left eye. Something in the back of her mind tugged at her.
She did know him from somewhere.
" Please Koala…please remember me." He pleaded softly.
" You can't be…" She whispered in disbelief. He flashed her a nervous goofy grin and tears filled her eyes suddenly as the reality of who he was hit her like a ton of bricks. " S-Sabo…?"
" Hey Koala…"
SMASH!
" WHAT THE!" Sabo yelled, ducking in time as she launched another pot at his head.
" YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE YOU!"
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WOMAN!" Sabo demanded as he saw her fury intensify.
" HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" She yelled back. " I DON'T SEE YOU FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO FUCKING SAY TO ME!"
" KOALA STOP! IF YOU CALM DOWN, I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!"
" CALM DOWN!" She screeched wanting to strangle him. " YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN!"
" That would be preferable…" Sabo said ducking as she swung at him. Good thing too, considering she had almost hit him square in the jaw. He was glad he dodged it too, he remembered what a strong right hook she used to have.
" HOW DARE YOU! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" She yelled at him, fire flashing dangerously through her eyes. " YOU DISAPPEAR FOR ELEVEN SUMMERS, COME BACK TO HELP SOME PERVERTED BASTARD TO KIDNAP MY BEST FRIEND! THEN YOU PROCEED TO KIDNAP ME AS WELL AND YOU JUST WANT ME TO CALM DOWN!"
" When you put it like that, anything can sound crazy!" Sabo laughed uneasily, lifting his hands in surrender.
" SOUNDS CRAZY?"
" You don't understand, Ace had to get Ai out of-"
" Wait…that perverted bastard that kidnapped Ai was Ace?"
" Well he is into some kind of odd things but Ace's parents were also very happily Mated."
" But that was Ace…"
" Unfortunately yeah, it was…but back to the him kidnapping Ai…we needed to get her out of there before the panthers got to her."
" Why would they want her?" Koala asked warily.
" Because she'd his Mate." Sabo sighed rubbing his temples.
" How do you even know that? You haven't seen her since we were pups and that was less then two days."
" Consider this, why do you think the panthers attacked us that night eleven summers ago? Why did they sneak into a heavily guarded She Wolf only territory to attack her the other night?"
" But this kind of thing isn't certain." Koala argued. " That was just a meeting all those summers ago! They were just pups too! They couldn't-"
" They didn't need proof to be fearful of a potential alliance between the two most powerful Packs in the world. They wanted to snuff out that threat as quickly as possible."
" But why wait until now to attack her? It's been eleven summers since they attacked. We've been living between the Amazon Pack and the White Pack for summers."
" Because we escaped from their hold and they were afraid that we'd join up with the White Pack or try to reunite the remnants of the Gol Pack." Sabo sighed, running his hands through his hair, pulling it away from over his left eye.
It was then that she notice the burn mark to his face. Her eyes widened at the sight and she found her hand reaching upwards to cup his cheek.
Sabo tensed at her sudden touch. Uncomfortable at the thought of her seeing the mark that was normally hidden by his hair. He hated when people saw it and just stare at it in either curiosity, pity, horror or disgust. The last thing he wanted was for her to look at him like that.
" You were with the Panthers this entire time?" Koala asked worriedly.
" Unfortunately yes." He said avoiding her eyes.
" Did they do this to you?" She asked and when he nodded she felt as though her heart had been torn out. She felt so many emotions flood through her and before she could think, she pulled him to her.
Sabo gasped at the feel of her pressed against him. Her scent flooded him and he felt his groin jerk at it. " What are you doing?" He asked nervously.
" Why…?"
" Why what?"
" Why did they hurt you...?" She asked, noticing how he tensed at the question. " I-If you don't want to tell me then you don't have to." She followed up quickly.
" Because of Ace and Luffy." Sabo whispered to her surprise. " They did it to punish them both and to teach Ace a lesson."
" What?"
" They couldn't break the two of them and so to hurt them they burned me." Sabo said. " It was really to hurt Ace…he was the strongest of us three and since they absolutely hated his father…they purposely try to break him and they couldn't. So-"
" STOP!" She yelled quickly. " I changed my mind! I don't want to hear what they did to you!" She looked up to see the confusion in his eyes. " Because if I did then I would have to find them and bathe in their blood."
She didn't quite understand the anger that flooded her at the moment. Sabo had been her best friend as a child and she knew that she would feel anger for anyone hurting her friends…but this kind of anger was different.
The anger she felt now was as if it would consume her. Her mind flashed with so many different ways to significantly torture the ones who hurt him.
" Sabo…I'm so sorry for not being there to stop them." She whimpered cupping his face gently in her hands.
" It isn't your job to protect me, Koala." Sabo said reaching upwards and stroking a lock of her brown hair between his fingers. He couldn't believe how soft it was.
" That isn't what I meant, Sabo." Koala said resting her head against his shoulder. A small smile came to her face when he reached up to cup her cheek lightly.
" Do you want to know how I knew Ai was Ace's Mate?" He asked softly.
" How?"
" Because whenever he mentions her he gets this look that I recognize…the one that I understand completely."
" You have a Mate?!" Koala gaped in horror. She was not only disgusted at the thought of touching another female's Mate but she also didn't like the fact that Sabo was someone else's Mate.
" I do." He said noticing the look of horror on her face. He saw her begin to pull away and he instantly wrapped his arms around her waist, halting her in her tracks.
" W-Wha-"
Koala broke off when she felt him press his lips against hers. A million thoughts flashed through her mind as he pulled her closer to her, sinking his hand into her hair. A small moan escaped from her as he nibbled lightly on her bottom lip.
Sabo slipped his tongue sneakily into her mouth, enjoying the soft feel of her mouth. Her soft flowery scent flooded his senses.
Sliding his hand lightly down, he cupped her bottom with his rough hand. " Koala…I've been wanting to do that from the first time I saw you." He whispered, pressing his forehead against her's. " You realize how frustrating it was having so many desires running through you at such a young age?" He asked burying his face against the nape of her neck.
A soft moan escaped her as he pressed his lips lightly against her neck. " I remember when I tried to say how fragile Ai was and you freaked think I was going to compliment her." He whispered, dragging his tongue greedily along her pulse.
" You were so jealous. I remembered the pretty shade of pink that came across your face. You were so beautiful then." He whispered, nipping her earlobe gently. " That image of you was one of the few things that kept me going through the hell I was in."
" If you keep talking about how those bastards hurt you…we will have to stop so I can annihilate them!"
" That would be terrible." He groaned as she ran her hands over his muscular body. " Koala…don't stop." He growled as her nails sent a tingling sensation throughout his entire body.
" SABO!" She gasped when one of his calloused hands cupped her breast, brushing a thumb under her deerskin shirt, a moan escaping her as his thumb touched his nipple.
" SPIRITS!" He groaned as she slipped a hand under his pant line to cup him. " Onna, if you stop I'll go insane."
" I don't plan on, jackass!" She whimpered as he undid her shirt. She felt heat rush through her whenever she looked at him. She didn't understand the affect being near him had on her. One minute she wanted to strangle him and the next she couldn't keep her hands off him.
She had only been reunited with him for a few hours but she didn't want to leave him. " Sabo…I missed you." She murmured softly as he pressed his lips greedily over her soft skin, trailing steadily downward.
" I missed you more." He growled nipping the skin just below her belly button.
" I'm sorry to interrupt but we have a problem." A calm female voice called from the front of the den. Koala jerked her head upwards to see beautiful black haired woman with shimmering blue eyes. She couldn't believe that the woman had appeared so silently that Koala hadn't even sensed her.
" This had better be good, Robin." Sabo groaned, pulling Koala to him, shielding her from the woman's sight.
" Would I disturb you if it wasn't?" The woman smirked. " But it involves your brother and his blue haired woman."
" What about them?"
" It seems she has incapacitated him and disappeared somewhere in the camp."
" Of course she has." Sabo sighed, running his hand through his hair. " Alright, I'll be out in a minute." With that the woman vanished silently. " Damn their timing." He groaned before kissing the brunette's cheek.
" I'll be back shortly."
" I could help you find Ai. Knowing her she's probably searching for me at the moment." Koala said quickly.
" As long as you don't try to run off once you find her. The threat I told you about is real, Koala. I couldn't stand it if anything happened to either of you." He said firmly.
" If that were true then answer me one thing."
" What?"
" Why do you have a She-Panther living amongst you?"
