I apologize to everyone for taking so long! I was in the process of posting a new chapter and my computer decided to die... It was horrible.

It's all good now~ My fantastic Uncle rebuilt my hard-drive and now it's running better than ever!

So here's the long awaited chapter of Dark Watcher~

Oh yeah~ I don't own One Piece, that's all Oda-sensei's

Kiya was napping below decks when she heard three familiar yells. She groaned and walked on deck to see Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro at the stern ready to attack a Sea Cat. She rolled her eyes and took the baton Vivi was brandishing.

"Don't, allow me." Vivi looked doubtful but Kiya gave her an evil smirk. "Oi!" She yelled. The boys looked around and she hit them each across the face with one swing of the baton. They collapsed in pain. "You can't eat those!" She cut off their protests with another strike. "Shut up and listen! Sea Cats are sacred to Alabasta! Try it again and I'll kill the lot of you." She handed the baton back to Vivi and went to the bow of the ship with a satisfied smirk.

A little while later the crew was all tying their bandages on their left arm. Zoro had mentioned the idea, remembering Mr. 2s power. Kiya took one look at Zoro's and rolled her eyes. She walked to him and sat on his right leg, taking his arm from him. She tied the bandage nice and tight for him.

"Yours would have slipped off, it was too loose." She scolded with a wide grin.

"Whatever babysitter." He grumbled as Kiya tied her own, still sitting on his leg. He wrapped an arm around her waist and stood up. She yelped and hung in his grasp like a sack of flour.

"Put me down you jerk!" She yelped. Zoro laughed and set her back on her feet. She growled as a blush dusted her cheeks. She turned away and brushed her hair over a shoulder in irritation. The crew gathered around each other and thrust their left arms into a circle

"Our left arms are now proof of our friendship!" Luffy yelled happily. "Now let's get to dry land!" Everyone cheered. Kiya laughed at the boy's antics; he reminded her of someone but she just couldn't put her finger on who.

They pulled into a hidden alcove and Luffy shot off the ship in an instant. Kiya laughed to herself and hopped off the ship with the rest of the small crew. The group made their way to a marketplace and Sanji ran to a stand that had what looked like dancer's outfits. He bought three and gave them to the girls.

"This isn't practical! I can't hide as many knives in this!" Kiya whined she tugged at the folds of the long skirt and rubbed her bare toned stomach. Vivi and Nami laughed at their friend, she looked fantastic, and they didn't know if Sanji intended the dark green one for her but the color definitely suited her.

"Stop Kiya! You look great. Besides you can wear more leg sheaths this way." Vivi reasoned with the bodyguard. Kiya huffed and nodded. When Sanji saw them his eyes practically popped out and he swooned. Kiya screamed as Nami and Vivi grabbed her and dragged her to a stall. They dropped her in a seat and told the shopkeeper to style her hair.

"Don't fight Kiya! You'll thank us later." Nami smiled warmly.

"Yeah! I bet Mr. Bushido would like her hair up." Vivi tapped her lips thoughtfully. Kiya's eyes widened and she sputtered half-formed protests.

"Done!" The shopkeeper cheered. Kiya's bangs waved lightly around her face and still fell to her hips but the bulk of her black waves were in a loose bun. Shining strands were hanging out around her head. Nami and Vivi couldn't look away; the bangs framed her face so well that they knew that Zoro would fall head over heels.

Kiya tugged on her bangs all the way back to the group.

She was blushing embarrassedly. "I look like an idot…"

"No you don't!" Vivi and Nami chorused in outrage. Kiya's green eyes glittered dangerously and her head jerked to the side. She sensed something was wrong, but Vivi and Nami continued without her. They didn't have the nose for trouble like she did.

"Do you hear that?" She asked, but the girls had already gone ahead. Kiya walked to the source of the noise and saw Luffy running franticly. She ran to her Captain and stopped him. "Luffy? What's going on?" Before he could answer a yell sounded behind them.

"STAW HAT!" Kiya saw Smoker charging toward them. She screamed and grabbed Luffy, slinging him over her shoulder. "Civilian aiding his escape! Get her!" Kiya ran while Luffy laughed at her.

"You're strong." Luffy was astonished that a girl could run at this speed while carrying him. Kiya snarled at him and looked franticly for their crew. She spotted them after a moment.

"Zoro catch!" She screamed she threw Luffy at her charge and skidded to a stop. She whirled as Smoker shot his fist out at the girl. A flame wall burst up directly in front of her. She stumbled back, covering her face from the heat. A man materialized in front of her. He had a symbol on his back that Kiya hadn't seen in so long. Kiya recognized him instantly by the strange hat on his head.

"ACE!" She and Luffy howled in shock. Ace glanced over his wide shoulder and his eyes widened as he saw Kiya. He grinned at them.

"Get them out of here Co-Commander! I'll catch up with you guys in a minute." Ace grinned at Kiya and turned back to Smoker. Kiya whirled and charged to the crew, grabbing Luffy and Zoro as she ran.

"Stop looking back idiots! We'll get caught!" She yelled at the others as she ran. She dragged her Captain and Zoro behind her. She didn't realize that none of the crew except Vivi, Luffy and Nami recognized her. She jumped on deck with Zoro and Luffy still in her grasp, she landed gracefully and let go of her burden.

"What do you think you're doing girl?" Usopp yelled at her. Kiya gave him her death glare.

"Stupid! I was saving your lives!" She paused as she felt a blade against the back of her neck. She didn't move. "Roronoa Zoro, you will get that sword away from my neck if you want full function of your arms in the future." Her voice was deadly quiet and she radiated killing intent.

"K-kiya?" Zoro removed his sword immediately and grabbed her shoulder. He turned her around and looked her up and down several times, not believing that this beautiful woman was his watcher.

"Brother?" Zoro was distracted by Usopp screaming at Luffy. "That guy was your brother?

Kiya whirled violently and strode to the Captain. "What? You're Ace's adopted brother?" Kiya was shocked, she'd been sailing with this boy and never even knew.

"Yeah! How do you know Ace? You looked just as excited to see him." Luffy tilted his head in confusion. Kiya raised one of her eyebrows and pulled her bangs off of her face and pointed to the light dusting of freckles on her cheeks. Luffy watched her, still not understanding.

She sighed and opened her mouth to explain but someone flew up and knocked Luffy off of his perch.

"ACE!" Kiya and Luffy screamed for the second time that day. He was crouched, grinning on the railing. Kiya snatched his arm and dragged him onto the deck. She wrapped her arms around him in a bone-crushing hug and kissed his cheek.

"Kiya! Can't breathe!" Ace gasped. Kiya released only slightly, keeping her hold on him.

"Hey! Ace-Nii! How do you know Kiya?" Luffy asked his brother as Kiya let him go. They stood side by side and pointed at the other's face. The rest of the crew howled in understanding.

"They're twins!" Sanji yelled. Luffy screamed as he finally understood

"Now that's out of the way, thanks everyone for taking care of my little brother." He grinned widely. Kiya laughed and shook her head at her twin. The crew bowed back to him.

"Luffy I've got a question for you. Will you join Whitebeard's crew? Your friends can come as well." He grinned widely and slung an arm over Kiya's shoulders.

"No way!"

"Hahahaha! Just thought I'd ask."

"So that mark on your back is real?" Usopp looked terrified.

"Of course! It's my pride and joy. Kiya's got one just like it!" He laughed.

The crew froze and zeroed in on Kiya. She winced and elbowed Ace. "I haven't told them Ace."

"What? Why not?"

"All they know is that I was traveling with Hawk-chan…"

"That's IT?" The Straw Hat's watched the argument with interest.

"Wait" Kiya turned as Zoro spoke up. Ace looked at the swordsman with interest. "You have a tattoo like Ace's?"

"Well yeah. I'm Co-Commander of 2nd division of Whitebeard's pirates. Why wouldn't I?" The crew yelled in shock. Kiya tugged off her sleeveless jacket, "He's over playing it though. It's not just like his." They saw a symbol exactly like Ace's but smaller and over her left shoulder blade.

"So you're coming home to Pops right? Everyone misses you." Ace asked his twin as she pulled her jacket back on. She shook her head.

"Sorry, nope. I'm watching over this crew. Tell Pops I'm sorry and I'll come home when I can. Oh! And tell the guys I said hi." She grinned sadly at Ace and he nodded.

"Here Luffy." He tossed a small square of paper to his little brother. "I'll see you all later ok?"

"You're leaving already?" Luffy whined. Kiya nodded and waved to her twin with a wide smile.

"Take care of him will ya sis?" Ace yelled back to Kiya and waved.

"No problem! I've got it covered. Give everyone my love!" He gave them a thumbs-up and shot off.

Kiya sagged back with a sad look in her eye. It had been very difficult to turn Ace down. She hadn't seen her own flesh and blood in so long…

"Hey! Does this mean you're my sister Kiya?" Luffy asked excitedly. Kiya turned her eyes to the excitable boy. Now that she knew she recognized a lot of Ace's personality in him. Even if they weren't blood Luffy was a lot like her twin.

"I guess so." She grinned as he cheered and hugged her tightly. She giggled but the crew could see a touch of sadness in her laugh

"But if Ace is your twin why weren't you with us when we were growing up?" Kiya winced and shook her head.

"Sorry little brother. That's a story for another time…" She walked to the stern and sat up on the railing, looking out at the ocean.

She remembered finding Ace in Whitebeard's crew... It had been quite a crazy time, one she never wanted to forget...

Tadaa~! Enjoy dearies.

As always Review or I'll come get you~
