The Kidd Demons

Drabble#19: Kidd thought he was alone, the only demon brave enough to leave Hell, then he met Killer. Kidd thought they were two of a kind. He should have known better by now. Especially if they were people he knew.

A request from HawkEyed Magicienne… Thanks… I'd forgotten the joy in writing these drabbles.

Her Review: Got a random idea - if Law's a vampire, what about the other Supernovas? Hawkins is a clear warlock and Kidd would make a pretty mean demon (the classical, born in Hell type). I'd love to see a Three Captains randez-vous, unplanned, with their guards down, bantering like little kids. Luffy of course knows Tra-guy is a vampire, but Kidd doesn't (or does he?) and it would be funny if Luffy was somehow the only human Supernova.

AN: I use Kidd and Killer with Law for this one guys. And of course the Strawhats, this is after all, their story. Sorry if I miss anything. Also, monsters can eat and use Devil-fruits, or some disguise their natural abilities to Devil Fruits, like Basil and Drake.

Waka - young master

Sencho - captain

~?~?~?~

Kidd glanced around, keeping his senses high as he looked over the shore of the supposedly, uninhabited island. Killer and Heat were standing behind him loyally, also using their haki to search the island. Wire walked towards them, his steps purposely loud so not to surprise the three men.

"This island is empty," Kidd asked again, glancing to the trident-wielding man.

Wire nodded silently. "Yes Waka," he said.

Kidd nodded. "You're in charge," he said, and walked to the gangplank without waiting for a reply.

Wire wouldn't have asked anyway; Kidd, Killer, and Heat were always leaving the crew to be to by themselves. It was something the crew didn't understand, yet trusted their captain and first mates enough not to ask questions.

The three men walked deep into the island's forest, idly killing any animal that decided to get too close, until they came upon the core of the jungle, a large tree with low branches. Ensuring that they were still alone, Kidd and Killer slumped with sighs of relief; Heat suddenly falling to the ground like a puppet with cut strings.

"It's been awhile," Killer noted, reaching for his mask.

"Ah," Kidd agreed, removing his goggles.

With the removal of his mask, Killer's large form shivered, the illusion of flesh and blood falling behind. Once the shimmering ended, all that was left was a tall, bare skeleton, it's full form covered by a dark blue cloak. The only items left of his human form were his wrist scythe.

Similar to Killer, as Kidd removed his goggles, his form began to change. Kidd's jacket was absorbed into his body, covering his form in the reddish fluff, leaving only his face bare. His legs became digitigrade as his feet turned into large, black hooves. While Kidd's face didn't lengthen to become more goat-like, his hair did grow longer, becoming a mane, and black horns slowly grew from his forehead while his eyes became that of a goats.

Kidd and Killer sighed in relief, feeling a great release of pressure as they stood there in their true forms. Once the breathlessness had passed, Kidd glanced at Heat, who was still lying on the ground, before lifting his hand. Like a doll, Heat stood and moved in accordance to the movements of Kidd's fingers, which copied that of a skilled pianist.

The poltergeist sighed as he set the marionette to lean against the tree. "Keeping my human form and controlling this puppet is taxing," he said, rotating his shoulders. "Perhaps I should fake it's death."

"Come now Master Kidd," the shinigami said, keeping to the shadows, "You said it yourself: "The puppet has it's uses". After all, was it not 'he' who distracted the pacifista?"

"Shut up," the captain groaned, and sat down; he looked to the sky. "That makes me think… Wonder where that strawhat brat is… Maybe he'll make a deal with me…"

Speak of the devil.

"Hey Red-guy! I didn't know you were a reindeer too!"

Kidd shouted in shock as suddenly his vision was overtaken, instantly throwing his hands up, where fire energy shot out. Killer had been just as quick as he sprung up, his scythes glowing yellow as they moved into action.

Luckily, for Luffy, Zoro had grabbed his captain in time to dodge the fire, and Killer was met by the black steel of armament. There was a tense silence as Kidd and Killer had a standoff with five members of the Strawhat pirates; the brat, the reindeer, the cyborg, the taller woman, and a skeleton.

"Another reaper," Killer murmured to himself in wonder.

Kidd was about to say something but jerked as he recalled what the Strawhat said. "I am not a reindeer!" Kidd barked.

Luffy tilted his head. "Really?" he asked.

"Obviously he's a goat!" Chopper barked, insulted that Luffy thought he looked anything like the demon.

"Yea, Imma- I'm not a goat!" Kidd barked at the medic, who squeaked and hid incorrectly behind the cyborg.

Luffy turned to the woman. "Robin, whatsit?" he asked the archeologist, pointing.

Kidd smached the offending hand. "Don't point!" he barked.

"He appears to be a poltergeist Captain-san," Robin noted, mentally searching her archives. "A demonic spirit that is supposedly born from men who make deals with the devil."

Kidd snorted. "Not far off," he allowed, then jerked again. "Hey! Don't be so casual! Why aren't you freaking out?!"

In the background, Killer spoke to the skeleton. "Where is your scythe?" he asked curiously, looking over the thin form.

"Yohohoho. No scythe skeleton-san," he said, "I am merely a musician."

The other Strawhats tilted their heads. "Freaking out?" they, minus Robin, asked in unison.

"She just told you I was a demon!" Kidd barked, stomping his hoof. "Just now! Most humans would run off screaming-! Or begging to make a deal with me or something!"

The swordsman snorted. "Clearly you haven't met Luffy," he said, causing said teen to snicker.

The cyborg smirked. "Or heard of our crew," he said.

Kidd frowned. "What there to hear?" he ordered.

Kidd and Killer tensed when suddenly they heard the brush being stepped on and the branches were separated. Five more people joined them, their leader speaking first.

"Mugiwara-ya, I told you, we don't have time to be-," the man paused and his eyes widened briefly as he took in the two men before him. He smirked. "Hello Eustass-ya."

"You too," Kidd muttered, shaking his head.

"Maybe we're losing our edge Master Kidd," Killer agreed, crossing his arms.

Sanji tilted his head. "Demons?" he wondered.

"A poltergeist and shinigami it looks like," Nami muttered, unafraid while Usopp cowered behind her.

Kidd eyes narrowed and Killer tensed slightly. "What are you?" Kidd asked.

The Strawhats paused. "You don't know?" Usopp asked in surprised, then cowered some more as the creepy, goat eyes glared at him.

"Know what?" Kidd growled.

Zoro snorted, shaking his head. "Nearly everyone knows us by now," he said, "We're the Strawhat pirates, known for our crazy captain, and for the fact that we're all monsters."

Kidd paused. "What?" he asked in shock.

They nodded. "Werewolf," Zoro said, flicking his ears.

"I thought that was a devil fruit power," Killer said.

"Nope," Sanji said, sucking in his smoke, then tapped the end. "Vampire."

"Sea hag," Nami said.

"Cambion," Usopp squeaked.

"Cyborg."

"Yohoho, I am a gentleman skeleton."

"And I'm a reindeer," Chopper finished.

Kidd stared, then turned to Law, whom he somewhat considered his friend, or at last ally. "And what are you? A prima-ballerina?" he demanded.

Law snorted, and opened his mouth slightly, revealing six fangs. "Vampire," he said, smirking demonically.

"And why wouldn't you tell me?!" Kidd pouted, stomping his hoof like a five-year old.

Law rolled his eyes. "And why would ?" he asked.

"Cause we're allies!" Kidd whinded. "For all I know, you've fed on some of my boys!"

"You wouldn't be wrong," Law chuckled.

"So you aren't a shinigami?" Killer confirmed in the background.

"No reaper-san."

Before Kidd could retaliate, everyone, who had superb hearing, paused and either tilted their head or rotated their ears towards the shore where Kidd and Killer had come from. Kidd and Killer rolled their eyes in unison as they heard the panicked screams of their names, coming from the weaker men of their crew.

"What are they; five?" Kidd grumbled, finding his goggles.

"Where does the time go?" Killer sighed, picking up his mask; he looked to the other monsters. "Go human," he ordered.

Replacing their given charms, Killer was once again covered in flesh, and Kidd's fur began to rapidly fall out, leaving behind his coat. The Strawhats and Law watched curiously as the two demon's forms changed until they once against looked human, and nothing like their other forms. Their transformations finished and Kidd took control of Heat just as the shrubs parted to reveal three members of his crew.

"Kidd-sencho!" one member shouted in glee. "Thank goodness we found you!"

"Mugiwara? Trafalgar-senpai?" the other asked in surprise.

The third ignored the distractions. "Sencho! Mugiwara and Law-san! The marines have been sighted, five miles away. Wire-senpai suspects they've seen us as well and will reach the ship in less than an hour!"

Kidd nodded with a sigh, "Alright, get back to the ship, tell Wire to adjust the sails and hoist anchor," Heat said in place of 'his' captain.

"We'll be right behind you," Killer assured.

"Yes sencho!" the three chimed before making a mad dash for the shore.

Law crossed his arms. "That's our que to leave," he said, looking to Luffy.

"Aw," Luffy whined, "Can't we fight them Torao? Traveling with you is so boring~!"

Law jerked. "We don't have time!" he barked, then looked to Kidd. "Until next time I suppose demon-ya."

"Vampire," Kidd grumbled in reply, but smirked as well.

"Master Kidd," Killer said, his eyes, though unseen, glowing red. "We can prevent four deaths in the crew if we leave now."

"Yea, yea, I'm comin," Kidd said, and followed, not looking back.

As they jogged to the ship, Kidd couldn't help but wonder: "Four out the eleven novas have black blood… Wonder how many of us there are…"

End.

You have no idea Kidd-san. Any of you! Any idea as to how I can add the Novas, plz share. Remember, it must include at least one or two Strawhat as these drabbles are originally are about them.

Sorry HawkEyed Magicienne, I hope I did you justice. But I like where this went. I might actually do another with the 'Novas, cause I have them all planned out save Urogue, and Capone, whom, as I said before, I don't really 'know'. But I like the idea of the Novas all being monster save Luffy. He's kind of an enigma to them, and they respect, not 'cuz of Marineford, or experience, but because he's the only human among them.

Sorry, I'm rambling. Till next time,

Ja ne~!
