My Roses, My Mechanical Angel

8. Purple Roses means Deceive

By

Evanescences Angel

Deceive.

To betray someone, to use their trust against them

The heart may cry in agony for the pain of being torn apart

As the eyes of friendship collapses in front them

As darkness takes over their old ties.

A/N: This chapter is dedicated to Wizle for his support and being one of my crazy friends! Thanks, Wizle-kun!! X3

Kurayami pov-

I'm going to betray them… and they didn't know…

I was going to leave and never look back… and they didn't know…

I was going to miss them… and they will never know…

They were going to hate me… and they didn't know that yet either…

I'm going to protect Hikari… and they didn't know whom he was…

I was possibly going to die… and I didn't even care…

…

…

I watched them as took watch in the lookout, high above them. It was nighttime and everyone was laughing and having fun with everybody but me as I looked down at everyone. Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Franky all laughing as they sang a ridiculous song, I realized as the was an old pirate song they sang off key. Nami was laughing as she watched them as beside her Robin looked slightly amused by the sight of them all acting like fools. Sanji was cleaning up what was left of dinner, which wasn't much thanks to Luffy big stomach.

My eye sought another person as he sat on the steps of the boat with his hand on his cheek. Absence-mindedly, I raised my hand to my lips as they now feel cold without his touch. 139 hours, 32 minutes, and 17 seconds and counting has pasted since the trip to the hot springs. Or in other words, 5 days has passed in the week I was given… two days left. And today was the day I was suppose to receive the place where I must leave to, and if I don't go… I dismissed the thought from coming to mind.

Kairi had already left to go home to Mist Island knowing that a sack of paperwork awaited her when she did arrive back. I missed her deeply as I curled up into a small ball, my hands wrapped around my knees as my head rested against them. I won't be able to say goodbye to her properly then, and the thought slowly but surely killed me inside.

No one knew that I was gunna leave and I didn't tell them I was, what was the point. I didn't want them to because if I did they would do everything in there power to stop me. All I wanted was to just stay but I knew that I couldn't, I been running away from who I am and always will be all my life. And now, I'm just too tired to keep running even with a cage around me.

My thoughts trailed to the one that I was giving everything too, my little brother… Hikari… He was they last that I had to call my family now. Ever since that day, that dark cold day everything changed. Everything…

Kurayami Black. Black.

She, me, was part of the Black Family. The Black Family was a small blacksmith clan who once were known worldwide but they were constantly recruited for a pirate crew, force or not. We soon disband for the threats killed many of our friends and family. My father, Hideki, was part of the Blacks and one of the runaways from a pirate crew. He went into hiding and met my mother, Hakumei, soon after. Years later I was born and then my little brother, Hikari.

-Flash

I grinned when I banged on the piece of metal that I was working on to turn into a blade for a sword. I put down my bandana was sparks continued to fly from each bang. Hikari was beside me working on a blade as well, he concentrated hard on it biting his tongue in the effort his light blue eyes narrowing. Over us was my father, he was a well-build man with a large black mustang, and messy black hair on his head with white on the side from his age, his white eyes like mine was smiling at us as he watched. In his hand held a stopwatch and then he yelled, "Time!"

Hikari and I groaned as we stopped placing our blade in water for a second for cooling then placing them on desk for judgment. Hikari seemed more confident than usual as he smirked, "I bet I win this time Kura-onee-chan! Just you wait!"

I rolled my eyes as father continued to look over our blades carefully, "Yeah, yeah Otouto…" (Little brother)

Father trained us in the art of Blacksmith the thing he made for living; Hikari and me both were always trying to beat each other to make the perfect sword. We always draw because father examines them. It had been almost 2 years, when I was 10, since I accidentally ate Metal, Metal Fruit and I been grumpy ever since, cuz not only I didn't get a profit, I can't swim anymore! I sighed when father finally placed his hands on his hips in pride,

"If you guys keep this up you'll be as great as I am one day!" He said as I laughed,

"That won't be long, you coming an old man!" I said as Hikari laughed as father sulked alittle, he was a jolly, good and fair man who never like pirates and liked to be kind to anyone even acting like a fool at times. But still he's a great father.

"So cold, Kura-chan!" He said with a fake pout causing us to laugh even more, then he stood before turning around to us,

"Okay I have to say… another draw!!" As soon as he said it we both groaned,

"But Tou-san!" Hikari whined as I huffed in annoyance, "When it ever gunna me who wins!"

"You mean me!" I retorted as he stunk his tongue at me, father roar in laugher patting both of us on the head,

"My children c'mon now! Give an old man a break! You are just too talented to ever win against each other! Have sympathy on the judge!"

At that was both stunk are tongue out at him as he laughed again. And then we heard a voice call from the house and looked and saw my mother, her dark black hair reaching shoulders as her sparking blue eyes seem to glow. She was beautiful as she called out her warm, motherly smile graced her lips as she called, "Hikari-kun, Kurayami-chan, Hideki-koi! Time for dinner!"

Hikari and me dashed out the door as father groaned in disappointment, seeing as he was left with the job in closing up the shed.

-Flash

I smiled at the memory, my father was so kind and fair and my mother so just and beautiful that it seemed a crime. I was sure that Sanji would have flirted with her if he had a chance too. Though days I didn't knew exactly who I was, a Black, I thought we were normal as family who just make swords for protection. Riana Rain Town was our hometown, a small town of family less than 500 in population and it rain constantly there. We had no enemies and everything was prefect, so prefect.

Never would we have thought that we would soon not be so prefect anymore, not until that day.

My father receive news that Blacks everywhere were being found and killed. We soon began to train to fight by our father because he received a tip that his old pirate crew was still looking for him. Soon as I reached 12, however, he ignored it the tips and constant mail for other relatives that's when it happen. My father's old pirate crew evaded my hometown…

-Flash

It was a thunderstorm, as my brother and me were sent to bed early but we couldn't go to sleep as light crack and thunder roared loudly on our window. I heard a grumble from Hikari as he hid under the covers, we both knew he hated thunderstorms. I sighed before getting out of bed and sitting on his causing him to sat up and hug me scared. I laughed softly as he whimper a little, even at age 10 he acted like a baby,

"C'mon Hikari, lets go down stairs and check on mom and dad they probably need help filling in the leaks from the ceiling," I said as he nodded, we went out of the room as I heard something. I paused even we reached the bottom of the stairs as Hikari looked at me,

"Onee-chan?"

"Shh…" I whispered as I force my ears to listen harder, there were cries, women, children, as well as men. I cringed as I heard screams of pain and manic laugher. My eyes snap open as I tighten my hand with Hikari, "Otouto, and listen to me. Something is happening we gotta get away. Remember what dad said if pirates came. We ran into the woods and don't ever come out unless we hear him."

Hikari froze a little, "P-Pirates. H-Here?"

I nodded, "Lets go, and don't be afraid Hikari. Your not a man yet to fight and you know yo can't against pirates. It's okay for us, we both are still just kids. C'mon."

He sighed nodding as we ran through the living room, mom and dad both missing a squeezy feeling came over me. I tugged Hikari along and threw our raincoats on before running outside. I heard the screams louder this time and Hikari did too, I ran across the small filed that was between are house and the woods still holding Hikari hand. I gasped when I saw a figure coming to us and fast, I was just about to make a run for it with Hikari but then I saw it was-

"Tou-san!" Hikari cried running to him but then stopped. I gasped and fell to my knees as Hikari stood there just staring in horror. Father had swords sticking out of him as he dragged his broken body towards us, his right arm missing and his face bruised and beaten. Blood ran from his mouth as his only was able to mange to open one eye. I felt tears run down my face as he finally collapsed in front of us,

"K-Kurayami…" He whispered softly as he looked at us in sadness, "R-Runaway with H-Hikari… now… You m-must while y-you can…"

"But kaa-san!" I said still crying he gave me a weak smile,

"I-I'm sorry she's gone… R-Remember that we l-love you both v-very m-much… now g-go!" He yelled to me as Hikari began to cry but we all heard laugher coming closer one voice yelling,

"There over here! Even without Hideki we can take his kid!" I froze as dad finally glared at us and roared,

"RUN!" I grabbed Hikari hand and we ran as fast as we could towards the woods as tears streamed down both of our faces never looking back to our father and mother sight of death.

-Flash

My hand tighten into a fist remembering that cruel memory of our life being destroyed. How I wanted to go back in time to prevent that from ever happening, I knew the idea was to ridiculous. I sighed and lend my head against the lookout pole as I stared into the starry sky. He told Hikari and me to leave, runaway, we did but soon after he was killed. Hikari and me ran as far as our legs could carry us but my father's old pirate crew came after us.

I-I gave myself up giving Hikari all the money I had and told him to run away, he did unwillingly, and I was forced to join the pirates that killed my parents. I don't wanna go into details as I saw a flash of memory of him running into the dark distance of the woods and me walking towards the light and to my new life. Years passed, I was 18 at the time, when I finally managed to escape them but because of the Metal, Metal Fruit I fought in their battles. I killed many innocent people…

I have been running ever since trying to find my brother but so far no luck and then-

Then I met them, the Straw Hats…

"Kurayami!" A yell brought my back to reality, I blinked and stood up looking over the lookout, down to the others. Luffy called me it seemed as he grinned at me, "C'mon down! Join us! It'll be fun! Please!"

I laughed at the funny captain and yelled down, "Sure! I'll be right down!"

I began to go down with a sigh when all of a sudden a black seagull came towards the lookout fast, blending into the dark of night that it was hardly visible in fact. It landed at the edge of the pole, staring a hole into me. I froze as I saw a piece of paper tied to his leg, I gulped as I walked to it and gently took it from its leg. It swacked when I took it then flew off into the black night. I stood there for a moment then untied the paper, I knew who sent it to me, and read the words,

'Dear White-eyes-chan,

Here's you're riddle to the location, hurry now you precious brother is waiting for you…

The place of black water

Tainted with flog

Where one of your beloved rules upon

Is the place you need to go

Bye, see you then- Takai'

I reread it and sighed, I didn't know where it was but I had at least a day to find out where. 'Bastard…' I thought as I crumble the paper in my hand, grinding my teeth together, 'He's bloody bastard who enjoy being a sadistic…'

"Kura!" Luffy yelled again, I sighed and stuffed the paper into my pocket, climbing down the ropes with a fake grin plastered to my face,

"I'm coming!" I shouted as he grinned his face splitting grin,

-Kurayami pov- Morning

I stared at the ceiling, thinking, I didn't get any sleep at all that night. My thoughts jumbled together in a mess on how to say goodbye without anyone knowing that I will leave. I finally came up with a solution, not to say it to them as a group but individually so they won't expect it, I groaned knowing the hardest will be Zoro. I knew that he knew me to well, so I would have to be extra careful. This was my last day before I left, I had to make it count and make their final memories with me special.

I saw the sun just rising and no one out of their cot yet, I got out of bed quietly and I sighed as walked to the bathroom, 'One more day…one more day…' I thought. I reached for my regular clothes but stop my shirt symbol, a design crossed. It had a diamond shape in the middle; each line was attached with another line or another diamond surrounding the cross would be better said. I glared at it with disgust. I hated this symbol for it was Takai's Cross- the statement that you were bound to his crew. I threw the shirt in her bag and pulled out a plain black shirt instead.

I changed in the bathroom wearing my black shirt and baggy black pants with her torn white mini skirt over it. I really didn't care for my hair as I left it be, down to my back. I walked out to the deck and sat to the stairs then stared at the sunrise, it was the last time I would see it so beautifully. It had finally risen till a point of half way, early bird seagull's swacked from above looking for breakfast as the ocean glittered in reflection of the half risen sun. Everything was so quiet and peaceful, I wished that everyday could be like this, just so calm that no one can disturb you from the beauty of it. But that wasn't possible, not anymore…

Unconsciously, I allowed myself to think of Zoro's accidental kiss. 'It was… nice,' I smiled as I touched my lips with a faint blush on my cheeks, 'I can't believe that was my first kiss too, and it was by accident!' I giggled alittle as I turned in led my back on the railing, 'Maybe I do like him, like him… great I sound just like a 10 year old now.'

I rolled my eyes and looked towards the kitchen, and I thought aloud, "Now that I think of it, I never cooked for them before. Maybe I should today, it'll probably be my last time to do something useful anyways."

Walking to the kitchen was easy, however getting in the kitchen when Sanji wasn't around was hard. It had 20 locks on the door! I sweatdrop turning my finger into a mini blade to pick the lock. 'Sanji really must want Luffy out of the kitchen at night! But then again we probably have no food to survive the rest of the voyage!' I thought laughing inwardly. It took about 10 minutes before all the locks were picked, I wiped the sweat off my brow at my work as I walked into the room and turned on the light. Everything was left clean and ready to prepare another meal, thanks to Sanji's master cook ways. I grinned as I pulled out an apron, and a white cooking bandana.

I walked to refrigerator to get the food and fell down anime style when I saw it.

100 big locks.

Sanji must really make sure Luffy stays out of the kitchen.

-Normal pov -Few hours later

When the crew woke up it was naturally because of the shining raise of the sun, however, today they were awaken by an awful smell of burnt wood or somethin'. So naturally, Sanji was the first one to overreact… (-. –)

"Whoever is in the kitchen, better c'mon out right now!!" He said banging on the door with his feet, he could easily break it down but he liked his kitchen door… (Again -. -)

"What's burning?" Luffy said sleepy his head falling off his shoulder while he eyes remain droopy, till he realize food was burning, "NO THE FOOD!! SAVE THE FOOD!!"

Of course, Luffy would break down the door in an instant; he fist was met with a reinforced metal door that looked 1 foot thick. Luffy handle his swollen hand with care as he wave it around, "Owie! My fist, it hurts!"

"Baka, you should've seen that coming only one person could be in there," Zoro said with a big yawn as he laid his back against the stairs, attempting to fall back asleep, "Because Franky is in the workshop and Chopper's in the infirmary."

Nami sighed as she saw Robin in her usual corner, "And if Robin, Luffy, Sanji and me here, that only leaves Usopp and Kura."

They looked at each other, Usopp, who had no skills in cooking at all and usually makes up stuff would mostly likely make something that would destroy the ship. But Kurayami… the possibilities were endless. However, combine… Sanji went pale as he continued to bang on the door, desperate to save his precious kitchen, "When I get in there I'll make sure Usopp is dead!"

"Of course," The swordsman rolled his eyes, "Prince of dumbass kingdom would never mention hurting Kura, or any girl as a matter of fact."

Sanji glared at him, with he only shown eye, "Hey! I would touch a hair on a woman's head, that's how I was raised! Unlike you, savage Marimo!"

Zoro was about to retort when the kitchen door finally open and the metal door turn into a large metal rod. Kurayami stepped out, with a tray of food in her hands, grinning. Everyone couldn't help but stare at her, her hair was messy and clumpy with flour and cracked eggshells, face cover in yellow sticky batter or something, the once white apron was total with grease, peanut butter (how that get there? Wtf is she making o.o), sugar, fish bones, chocolate, and some weird black stuff.

To top it all off, she yelled, "Breakfast!"

"MY BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN!!" Sanji cried as he fell on his knees looking at the damage, the other knew better than to look. Usopp crawled out of the kitchen completely covered in flour and other stuff. But he collapsed before he even got a finger through the door,

"Kura how ya mess up that super cool recipe I told you about!" He said groggily,

"You told peas, carrots, peanut butter (that explains it), oil, vinegar, hot sauce, and sardines would make the greatest omelet ever!" Kura pouted, Nami looked at the tray and then looked like she was gunna barf as she held her hand to her mouth. Even Luffy looked away from the so-called food, with a squeezy expression. Zoro and Robin watched the scene bemused as Franky and Chopper came out then froze at the kitchen,

"Holy mother of pearl, what the hell happened here?" An OOC Franky yelled pointing at the kitchen,

Chopper turn a green color, "I think I'm gunna be sick…"

Kurayami laughed nervously, "I'm sorry for all the fussing, but I just wanted to cook breakfast today. Plus Usopp was the only one up when I realized that I didn't know how to cook." She was about to add she didn't like girlish things like cooking but Sanji was depressed more than he needs to.

"What were thinking?" Nami sighed shaking her head, "Taking orders from Usopp no less!"

"Hey, appreciate the art of making original dishes!" Usopp said grinning widely, "It came out great didn't it?"

Zoro walked over and looked at it, then stated bluntly, "Looks like crap."

That cause Usopp to sulk and Kurayami to sigh in defeat, looking towards the floor sadly, "Great, the one thing I want to do to help everybody turns out to make a pain instead… Man I tried so hard to…"

A reindeer and swordsman suddenly walked over and snatched the tray from her hands, Kurayami blinked as the both grabbed a fork. The food served was chalk-coal black in the shape of a tiny sizzled pear. Both silently said there prays and the things they would leave behind to everyone before slicing the thing in half and positioning it to eat. Needless to say, the Crew was O.O,

"You aren't seriously going to eat that are you!" Nami yelled shocked, "Not even Luffy would!"

"It's uneatable! No offend Kura." The captain said laughing nervously as Kura face was suddenly hidden with her bangs. She raised her head showing a bright, I mean BRIGHT, happy face, and she was practically beaming!

"Thank you, thank you!" She said grin happily practically dancing, everyone suddenly felt sorry for the two. Robin shook her head as she saw something in the corner of her eye. She got up and went to it after Chopper and Zoro hesitantly brought the thing, food, up to their lips. The others gulp as they watch, Franky silently getting food poison medicine if they needed it, which was likely.

Then both took a bit of the food.

Everyone paled. But the dancing Kurayami.

Zoro turn blue. Chopper turned green. Gagging occurring… now.

Zoro pound his chest as he forced the thing down his throat, however, Chopper was choking as he fell on his back anime swirl in his eyes. Kura dashed to Chopper's rescue. "Oh no Chopper-kun! I didn't mean to hurt you!"

"Kurayami, if you didn't mean to hurt him why did you let him eat then." Nami shook her head at her,

Kura had anime tears running down her face, and sniffed, "I didn't mean to! Wah! Okay, okay, I will never hurt Chopper again, I won't hurt I touch a single kawaii hair on head! I would die first! I promise!"

"Hey I'm dying over here too!" Zoro yelled holding his stomach. Kura gave him a blank stare,

"That's because you're different Zororo." She stated bluntly going back to comfort the twitching Chopper,

Just as things were about to go back to normal, excluding Sanji mourning his now ruined kitchen, Robin rush back to the deck, frantic with emotion for the first time Kura ever saw. In her hand was a piece of paper, as Kurayami felt her blood go cold, however it wasn't what she expected, it was still devastating news,

"Mist Island been attack by pirates."

A/N: Trying to hurry not much time... LEFT! XD
