Zoro turned to look at Autumn.

Why is she here? He wondered as he turned back and saw Riko, holding her bloody hand.

"Riko, I'm," Zoro started to say, but choked on his words.

"Don't worry," Riko mouthed shakily as she winked at him.

Zoro looked up at Luffy regrettably, "Luffy,"

Luffy's hands were in tight fists to his sides, "Zoro, turn around," he said lowly as he flipped out his switch blade.

Zoro turned around and Luffy quickly cut him out of all his binds. He pushed Zoro in while handing him his gun.

"I'm taking Riko to the hospital," Luffy said to him.

"No, I don't want to," Riko whined.

"You want to get it treated, but don't mention a gang at my house. If the police get involved it'll be worse than it needs to," Zoro warned them.

Luffy nodded and basically dragged Riko down the hall, "Come on,"

Zoro sighed and headed back inside, closing the door.

"Autumn," Nicoll sneered, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not going to let you kill Zoro," she said pointing her gun at everyone in the room.

Milo smirked, "Ooh, someone has a crush on Zoro-!"

Autumn rolled her eyes and shot at the floor in front of her, "Shut up Milo. You're such a slut and everyone knows it,"

"Bitch," Milo murmured under her breath.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Max and Reese starting to move towards the cover of Nicoll, so she pointed the gun at them, "DON'T TAKE ONE MORE STEP MAX, REESE! I don't want to hurt you,"

"What the hell are you doing?" Nicoll yelled at her, "What are you? A traitor? Why do you care so much about Zoro? He killed our father! He deserves what he did back!"

"Don't you think he already went through that when dad killed his parents?" Autumn shouted back.

Zoro took this chance to look around. Everyone's eyes were on Autumn. Everyone's guns were also lowered. He quickly disarmed Carroll who was standing a couple feet away from him, taking his gun and pointing it at his chest.

"All of you need to leave right now! Or I guarantee in the next five seconds all of you will be dead," he said strongly.

Nicoll dropped his weapon and motioned for Carroll to move back over to him, "Fine Zoro, let's go. This isn't over. Oh and Autumn," he looked at her, "If you ever come back, you'll die,"

In less time than they imagined, Zoro and Autumn were alone.

"What's going on Autumn?" Zoro threw his hands in the air.

"Zoro, I told you my brother wants to kill you. And I know you don't completely trust me right now," she started to get angry at herself as she felt tears blind her, "But, I swear all I want to do is help you,"

"Why?" Zoro demanded, not noticing her tears yet, "What reason do you have to turn on your family?"

"I'll tell you," she said gravely as tears ran down her cheeks.

Autumn told him about how much she had always detested her father. When she was little, her father and mother got into a very unnecessary but violent argument. She had witnessed it and watched her mother die. Afterwards, she saw her father take her and burn her until her body was completely gone. She couldn't sleep for a week, and she was only six years old. Ever since that day, she'd been scared of her father. Soon, her father went crazy and thought that he would only be satisfied if he killed more people that were important figures. Zoro's father, was a well known sword fighting master. Many people were taught by and respected him greatly. She never really knew exactly how her father thought, but she suspected that it had something to do with him wanting other's to feel like they had also suffered a loss, like he did killing his wife. Although, that thought process made no sense, it was the idea in her mind that had the most. So that's why she was slightly relieved to hear that Zoro had killed her father. However, she knew that Zoro was in trouble, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to him. That's why she'd been sneaking out, to see if he was alright, but it seemed all she did was bring trouble along.

Autumn had been crying for a while now with Zoro listening to her on his couch.

"And so that's my deal," she said wiping her eyes, looking up at him, "I'm sorry I've caused so much trouble. It was my fault your friend got hurt,"

Zoro sighed and scratched the back of his head, "I don't think they're coming back tonight. Stay here. You can't go back even if you wanted to. You chose to protect me so I'm going to do everything I can to keep you alive now," he got up and walked into his room, getting an extra blanket, pillow, and sheet from his closet and putting it at the end of the couch, "You can sleep in my room,"

Autumn looked up at him, "I'd rather sleep on the couch. I don't deserve your bed,"

Zoro sighed, "Fine, I guess these are clean anyway," he yawned, "I'm tired," he said as he walked into his bedroom and changed out of his outermost layer of clothes and collapsed on his bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

Autumn blinked surprisingly at his sudden sleep, but she took off her jacket, jeans, shoes and socks and set up the sheets on the couch and tried to go to sleep.

A couple hours later, she woke up to thunder and rain hitting the window. She jerked up, feeling the sweat on her body. She hesitantly took her pillow and walked into Zoro's bedroom. She shook him awake.

"Zoro!" she whispered harshly, "Zoro!"

He woke up, "Huh? What?" he whispered.

"Zoro, can I stay here," she blushed, even though he couldn't see, "With you?"

Zoro rubbed his eyes, "Ok yeah fine, whatever," he turned to try to go to sleep with him as she crawled in next to him. She pressed against his back, trying to feel more secure.

"Why are you all sweaty?" Zoro turned towards her and touched her shoulder, running down her arm and then, before he knew what he was doing, he was touching her thigh, "Shit, sorry,"

"Why? You wanna get sweaty too, don't you?" suddenly, Autumn was feeling mischievous.

Zoro smirked, "Well, you did wake me up,"

…Let's just say after a bit, they were both a little more than sweaty.
