Hiya, people! Wasn't planning to update today, but, a few reviews made me feel happy, so here I am~~~~
I wing this story, did I tell ya' people that? It's funny, because I end up adding to every beginning A/N at least 3 times while I'm typing out the actual story… Ha…
I AM NOT LAZY, I'M BUSY. NOR AM I PIECE OF CRAP, I AM A LADY.
(I'm NOT over 18 though… XD)
I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT GUARANTEE YOU. If you've seen all the eps/read all the chapters, you will cry once you listen to this full song - or at least be close to...well, I cried...
AHEM! Yeah, people who get an alert or something when people post new chapters, there's a chance you might have three from me (I don't really know how those things work) cuz the link thingy was SUPPOSED to be here, but my computers a complete retard, so... Yeah, whatever. Just look up "Straw Hat Medley," on Youtube by Wolf... Some kind of combination of numbers...
No, I don't own it…Poop.
(*) – WHAT IS THIS FABRIC CALLED?! I know it had an x or something in it...
I'm gonna put Ace in this chapter… Ace is so awesome… and hot…XD. Why am I putting him in? I read on the wiki that Oda actually despised him, and regretted putting him in…
I was like, "Well, if that's the case, then I'm glad you REGRET! HA!" then, my brother was all, "Who the hell are you talking to?!" So, yea.
Ivan-chan is here, too. HEEHAW!
"ROBIN-CHWAAAAN~ YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL EVEN WHEN YOU'RE IN THESE SHITTY GYM CLOTHES!"
"Shut up, will ya'?!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"YOU HEARD ME!"
Robin and Vivi stared at the two boys, along with the rest of the class. For two boys who cuss and fight, they DID know how to cause a scene and be total drama queens…
She felt quite uncomfortable in the place where the whole incident had happened, but kept it to herself.
"I don't think these P.E. clothes are that bad…They're two of my top three favorite colors," Robin commented, pulling the hem of her shirt out to get a view of the whole black and white tank tops made out of an unknown soft material, with black shorts accompanying it. (*)
"Black isn't my favorite… but it's better than the combination we had last year…" Vivi said.
Robin looked at her expectantly. Vivi muttered, "Yellow and brown…"
Her lips barely curved into a polite smile. It was funny, yes, but not hilarious.
Vivi continued muttering, "Why do we have to wait for this P.E. teacher, anyways? What kind of person knows when they're going to be late and leave a note ahead of time?"
As if it was jinxed, someone burst through the door. "ALRIGHT! I'm here!" the 'somebody' yelled, raising his arms in the air for emphasis. Black, messy hair, freckles, and a well built body. But despite that, something about him made Robin feel like she has seen it before.
"It's about time, Ace," Zoro muttered, walking over to him, dropping the blonde man he was strangling in the air.
The sound of him dropping, though, was surprisingly faint- he didn't weigh that much, ya' know.
"Shit, you dumbass…That was freaking low… Nevermind, ah, and hey, Ace," Sanji groaned on the floor.
"Hello, guys. Hello, class," the man grinned.
"I didn't know you were the P.E. teacher this year," Sanji said, after recovering a bit.
"Psh. As if YOU would know," Zoro muttered.
"Ha. Ha. I don't really give a crap right now, ya' moss head,"
"Alright, alright, may you two sit down in front of me? You guys, too," he instructed the class. After doing so, he introduced himself, "So, I am Mr. Portgas… I guess, but just call me Ace… It makes me feel old,"
"You are old," Sanji joked.
"I'm only 20!"
"It was a shitty joke, jeez,"
Ah, Ace. It was Luffy's brother.
She repeated her thoughts quietly, "So that's Ace…"
However, Vivi caught it. "Hm? You know him?"
"Well, not really. Luffy's just mentioned him to me before,"
"Ya' know my brother?" Her heart jumped. Crap, he had heard them.
She cleared her voice, "Yes,"
"How? Did he finally get a girlfriend?!"
Sanji fell to the floor in despair. "WHY must everyone say it to that idiot?! Why not me?!" He quietly continued his emo muttering in the corner.
"Ah- No… I'm just his… roommate…" she muttered, a bit embarrassed since the whole 'realization' incident.
"Yeah, if you say so,"
What the hell was that supposed to mean?! Vivi grinned at her, "Robin's got a boyfriend~"
"Hush, Vivi-chan…It's so… inappropriate of me to like someone I'm sharing a room with…"
"Robin and Vivi, Vivi and Robin…Easy enough," he said to himself, fixing his orange hat.
"Like hell it is…Well, at least for you," Zoro said.
"Okay, what the hell is wrong with you guys today?!"
"Ohhh….. I wanna be part of this SUPA' conversation!" yelled an unknown student, standing up and placing his arms together over his head, forming a star with his tattoos at a 135 degree angle.
"Got it. What's your name?" Ace asked, putting his hands on his hips.
"It's FrrrrrrrrANKY!" he spoke, rolling the 'r.'
"Simple as well. This is great! But why are you guys dressed?"
"Because… we're in P.E.?" Vivi answered hesitantly.
"Hm? Come on! You never dress on the first day of school!"
Robin, Vivi and Sanji looked at Zoro, "Told you so,"
"Shut the hell up," he muttered.
"Eh? Does this mean we have to SUPA undress?"
"Well, you could do it now, or later. You choose.."
…
"Later," chorused the lazy class.
"Ah, okay then. So, tell me about yourselves!" Ace said.
"Well, I know you're a shitty martial artist…"
"Ace-kun is nice, yes?" Robin asked, walking with Vivi to Language Arts.
"You think everyone's nice…But yes, he is,"
"…Not everyone's nice…"
"Oh…yeah…Uh, so, do you know who the teacher is for this period?"
"No…I actually don't…"
They walked into their classroom.
"Hello there my little cuties! HEEHAW!"
"…What?" Vivi asked, dumbstruck.
"I said, 'Hello there my little cuties! HEEHAW!'"
"Well, okay…Who are you?" Robin asked awkwardly.
"I am the queen of this school, and the Language Arts teacher, Ivankov-sama! HEEHAW!"
Vivi clenched her teeth in surprise, her eyes wide, while Robin attempted to manage a smile, but was miserably failing.
"You may sit up in the front, my little cuties! You seem to be nice. Unlike these other people in my last class…"
Robin raised her eyebrow, "Who?"
"Ah, well, it was only one of them actually, but I forgot her name…She was being mean to this poor cutie in a straw hat…" He frowned, sad for the obvious boy.
"Ah, that must be Nami-san," Vivi sweatdropped.
"HEEHAW! You do know them! Who was the boy?"
"His name's Luffy," Robin answered.
"Great! It's nice to know the name of that little cutie," he turned around to his desk for a moment.
"What are your names?" he asked, their backs still turned.
"Vivi and Robin. I'm Vivi, and this is Robin," the blue haired girl introduced, hoping he would recognize her voice.
"Is that lady with the blue hair talking?" Apparently not.
"Yes,"
"Got it! HEEHAW!
Seeing it as a chance, the two girls looked at each other and shivered.
They then heard a loud gasp. They saw Ivankov on the floor on his knees, his hand to his chest. Then, the whole class…or whatever amount was there, gasped, and crowded around the teacher. "I…I…I think I'm having a heart attack…" he gasped again, "It burns…"
The students quickly attempted to help him. Suddenly…
"OR NOT! HEEHAW!" he stood up as fast as lightening.
The class snickered and went back to their seats, the two girls switching reactions at the lie as the bell rang.
"Okay!" He said to the class as the last remaining students entered, "I, am Mr. Emporio, but you may call me Ivan-chan, or Ivan-sama and do not cal-"
"I'm sorry I'm late," spoke an entering voice.
The ebony haired teen tensed up, despite the fact she was looking at her desk. She didn't even have to look up. It was him, and there wasn't one drop of doubt.
Yes, it was Lucci. Damn it, damn it! Why was she always in the seat next to the vacant one?! "Uh, Ivan-chan, may I switch seats with Robin?" asked Vivi.
"…Well, I guess so, since you're nice people…"
"Arigatou," she thanked.
She shouldn't be the one thanking people. Robin gave Vivi a grateful smile, and she nodded happily in return. However, when they were but seated, the blue haired girl was then given a frown from the person to her left. She ignored it, though.
The class went by, nothing really going on. Robin tried as hard as she could not to, but her temptations always ended up making her sneak a peek at him every once in while. Every time, though, she regretted it. It was as if he knew when she looking, or he was plain looking at her all the time, because every singe time, she was greeted with the same, cold eyes, and the creepiness of his pigeon, Hatori.
As the bell rang, the two girls got up quickly and ran for the door. This time, she made sure Vivi was in sight. However, it started to slowly become farther and farther…
"We're in a school, little one…not the White House," the abusive man spoke to her, pulling hr away for the second time.
"Are you insane?" she spat, "My friend is literally right in front of us! Have you gone mad?"
He scoffed, "Yes, I'm afraid of girl,"
Shit, he was right. Vivi, innocent little Vivi, could do truthfully nothing.
"And putting you in a gym was a mistake. It's too common of a place, yes? Well, that won't happen again, so don't worry,"
She was pretty sure he had gone mad over the last few periods. She knew he wasn't being serious, but honestly? He had the audacity to even kid that after almost kissing her, sexually abusing her, and plainly scaring her shitless, to only comfort her once in forever to not worry about the location? It wasn't even that big of a deal!
She was then proved dead wrong.
As she pulled and tugged, she felt a sense of de ja vu as he grasped tighter once more. Then suddenly, as if it was the movie of her experience, she was once again pulled from the crowd, into the bluntness of nowhere. But this time, he was still pulling her. He was still pulling her. Oh, god. He was pulling her farther from people. Farther from the chance of escaping. Farther from the fact of knowing her little birds that had been following her had not fallen and crashed.
"Robin-chan!" a voice yelled, along with the sound of rapid footsteps. Luffy? No, it was Vivi. VIVI?! What the hell did she plan on doing? Robin didn't know, but obviously, she did, and trusted her completely. He was dragging her, and Vivi was running; it was common sense she would eventually get to her.
She leaned on her heels in a cliché way as he slowly dragged her, still barely walking at fast pace anymore.
As she approached them, she pulled out two…yoyos?! What was wrong with people in this school? She spun them around as she caught up, then allowing the strings of them to wrap around the man's arm. As the actually yoyo gripped the string, the blue haired girl pulled on the other end, the strings digging deeply into the man's flesh and skin.
At first, he didn't seem bothered, but as seconds passed, his fingers twitched, and he let go of the raven haired girl to only pull away the yoyos from the girl, and harshly scratched her across her face.
It stung like hell. Her skin was sensitive, even Luffy's minor hit had really hurt her. No, compared to that, it didn't sting, or even burn. It felt like her skin was being pulled pf her face, only to leave the useless feeling of numbness.
As she leaned against the hallway wall, she held her hand to her cheek, the red mark deep and dark, but even the softness of her fragile hand made her whimper in agony as the two parts of her body touched. Exactly how long was his nail?
As soon as Vivi was out of the way, Lucci turned to see Robin running as fast as her heels could carry. Yes, she didn't want to leave her friend, but he was probably going to run for her, and not put any more harm to the sensitive girl, anyways.
And, she was right. He dashed after her, at a much faster pace. Her heart flew to heaven, then to hell, then around the whole world, at least 14 times in the last 10 seconds. As soon as it reached 11 a large piece of her hair was tugged back, her head with it. It wasn't that hard, and she was surprised to see Lucci true to his word – he didn't hurt her.
After she was slowed down, he let go of her silky hair and grabbed her wrist instead, continuing on with what he was doing before.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked, panic rising in her voice.
"Hm… To a classroom that's just been built. That's why we're in the very back of the school, little one. This is the newest part of the school, despite it's on the first floor, and won't be open until next year…"
As they passed Vivi once more, she rapidly strolled towards them only to be lightly punched in the gut, hard enough to groan in pain but light enough to not have any serious damage.
Robin turned back in horror to see Vivi weakly shake her head and just slowly run off.
She left her. She just ran away. She called her name, but the girl didn't look back. Her hope practically ran out the double doors as the girl did, too.
As soon as she did, Robin was pulled through another door- a door of a classroom. Like usual, he locked the door that lay to the south side of the room and turned around the look at the frightened girl.
Why was Robin scared? He said he wasn't going to hurt her. He merely wanted to kiss her. So why was she so scared? Because he was him. He was the same man who sent her home with bruises every day. He was the man that made her cry herself to sleep. He was the man who stared at her and could easily penetrate her living soul through her eyes. He was Rob Lucci.
Time went on forever and ever as they stared at each other, each having opposite feelings- Confident; Scared. Proud; Depressed. Evil; Innocence.
As fast as her chance of almost getting away slipped away, he grabbed her and pinned her to the east wall, in front of the door vertically.
Robin's breath was short and quick, while his was long and slow. Her heart pounded like a metronome, and seemed to fill the silence of the room.
Closer.
Boom.
Closer.
Boom.
Closer…
Boom.
Closer…
BOOM!
It wasn't her heart. It possibly couldn't be. It had already stopped. It was something else. It was the door- it had fallen down. And as fast as her chance, and as fast as she was pinned, was as fast as Lucci getting punched in the face, by the little boy in the straw hat.
