Chapter 12
"Ah… such a nice breeze," said Daishizen. She was leaning against the railing of a boat. The breeze blew her hair when she felt a tug on her ears. She turned around to see Luffy. He smiled at her, and she just stood there embarrassed. He was about to hug her when a dagger went threw his heart. The sky grew dark and lightning flashed as she stood stalk still. She screamed his name as he stood there motionless. His body fell, and from behind it was a dark, scraggly figure. Her eyes widened as she yelled, "The others will come!" The figure smirked and pointed behind him. She slowly looked past him to see everyone killed. Blood smeared every corner of the ship. She shook with fear and thought, "Not again… it's my fault." The figure grabbed her and held the dagger high in the air. She screamed one last time as the dagger came down.
She opened her eyes and shot up from the couch. She was breathing heavily, and sweating. Shaking, she looked around to find herself in Takshin's living room. She heaved a much needed sigh, and closed her eyes.
"It was just a dream," she whispered.
"What was?" asked a voice. Her tail shot up and she quickly turned to see Takshin standing at the end of the stairs. She glared at him and hissed, "Don't scare me like that!" He just smiled and went over to sit in his lounge chair. Daishizen tried pulling her blanket off, but it got caught somewhere. She looked and saw Luffy sleeping in his arms that were resting on the couch.
"He was worried, and said he would sleep here," said Takshin, answering the question in her eyes. She lightly smiled and looked at Luffy.
'Hmm… maybe I really was right about him,' Takshin thought to himself. She looked back at Takshin and asked, "Did I wake anybody else up?" He shook his head, and answered, "No. I just couldn't sleep and came down to see that you were awake. Sanji will be coming down soon to make breakfast." She nodded and looked down at herself.
"Good Morning, Daishizen!" called Sanji. Her tail shot up again, and she turned to see a love-sick Sanji. He walked over to her and asked, "How about a magnificent meal for a magnificent woman?" She just nodded. Nami and Robin came down shortly after while Sanji was still complimenting Daishizen on everything. Nami knocked him on the head and told him to start breakfast while Robin apologized for him.
Usopp and Chopper came rushing down as well. Chopper immediately started checking Daishizen's vital signs. Then a sleepy Zoro came downstairs. He yawned, and said good morning to her. She just nodded not knowing what to say back.
As soon as everybody had gotten their plate of breakfast, Luffy woke up to the aroma of the food. He smiled and asked Daishizen how she felt. She told him she was fine and started eating. He got up and received his plate from Sanji and went right back to sitting next to her. Soon, everyone else was sitting in the living room and eating with her too. After swallowing a mouthful of food, she asked, "I never got to know anyone else's name. Would you mind telling me now?" Everyone nodded, and introduced themselves.
"I'm Nami, the ship's navigator."
"I'm Sanji, the cook."
"Zoro, swordsman."
"I'm Captain Usopp, the sniper!"
"He's really just Usopp. I'm Chopper, the doctor."
"I'm Robin, the historian." Daishizen smiled after Robin introduced herself. Everyone finished their meal and went out to the lawn. Daishizen sat under a tall tree with a book she found in Takshin's library. Nami lounged again while Robin joined Daishizen under the tree. Zoro was sitting on the grass enjoying the view. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp decided to play a game of tag. Sanji was talking to Takshin about some recipes he could use when they'd leave.
Usopp was "it" and started chasing Chopper. Chopper tripped over Zoro, so Usopp tagged Zoro. He just sat unmoved and a little irritated. Luffy pouted and whined, "Come on, Zoro! Play with us!" He just looked at Luffy with an annoyed expression, and said, "How old are you idiots?!" Chopper snuck up behind him and teased, "Zoro's afraid to lose."
"Why you little…" yelled Zoro as he started chasing Chopper around. Luffy took this opportunity to invite Daishizen, who was laughing with Robin. He extended his hand and asked, "Come on! Want to play too?" She looked at him as there were shouts in the background. She put down her book and grabbed his hand. Zoro was just running up to Luffy when he jumped out of the way. Daishizen was tagged and she just stood there at first.
"You ok, Daizen?" asked Zoro. She looked at him with a confused expression. He sighed and said, "The other name's too long. Let's shortened it to that." She nodded, and started chasing Usopp. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. Daizen jumped and tagged Chopper, who fell over and rolled down a small hill. She quickly ran over to Sanji, grabbed him and started dragging him to play too. Sanji didn't struggle at all.
"You too Nami!" called Daizen. She got up and started running into the play. She asked Robin to join, but she just said she'd watch instead. Chopper tagged Nami, who tripped over him. Sanji caught her before she hit the ground and got tagged. He ran after Luffy, who cheated and stretched across the lawn. Zoro, being as mean as he is, tripped Sanji who fell onto Daizen. He blushed several shades of red, and Daizen just laughed, everyone else did too. She got up and ran towards Luffy. She tagged him, but he held her and threw her into a piggy back again, and then he started running around. She was having the most fun she's ever had in 10 years. But as her fun continued, her nightmare began.
