CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
Ruki
Siam and Zolo had found this place when they'd followed EJ through the portal. It was a junkyard, and EJ recognised it.
Siam pointed his claw to a crate that was sitting in a corner of the junkyard, and EJ approached it alone.
A grey tabby cat was lying in the crate, with five kittens of about a year old around her.
"Umm, aren't they a little bit old to be living with their Mother?" EJ asked the Mother cat.
The Mother cat looked at her like she was insane. Well, YOU come up with a solution then…by the way, their Father was YOUR cat, Kyo. I miss him, so…
"Can I have one of your cats?" EJ asked her.
The Mother cat considered this, and then nodded. Since Kyo was YOUR cat. Take the black one, she's a real trouble maker. Her name is Ruki.
"What a perfect name." EJ said, taking the blue-eyed black cat out of the crate. Ruki immediately reached up and tried to swat with her claws at EJ's cat ear.
EJ laughed. "I see what you mean. Well, good luck." She told the Mother cat, and then went back to Zolo, Siam and Jed.
"What I've decided," She said. "Is to live with Jed for awhile."
Siam went to interrupt, but EJ held up a paw. "Let me finish. See, I was never given a chance for a proper life. Jed is like a Father to me, and I want to experience the rest of my teenager years with a guardian, a parent. Besides, I can't choose between Black Cats and Straw Hats!"
Nyaa! Ruki said. Choose Black Cats!
"Shoosh." EJ told her gently, putting her in the hoodie of her jacket. Ruki clung to EJ's shoulder as EJ used her sword to return them all to the One Piece world, EJ's permanent home from now on in.
OoO
EJ knew she would never have a normal life, as such. She was a Princess, who was destined to protect the people she loved, and that included pirates. Setsuna's powers were going to give her a helping hand…err, paw, she knew that.
She loved Siam and Zolo, and wasn't about to consider making her decision between the two yet. One day, she would battle Zolo, and one day she would defeat Mihawk.
One day, she might even get married and have kids. Would they be cat-like, just like her?
Nyaa! Says Ruki. Who knows!?
OoO
FIN

MEG: Well, how was that!?
ZOLO: I hated that ending.
MEG: I know you did. That's why I wrote it.
NAMI: At least Nogiko didn't get killed.
USOPP: Poor Kyja!
EJ: Don't cry Usopp!
USOPP: I'm not crying! (He's crying).
MEG: Please R&R ppls, and if possible, check out some of my other stories!
