So with this chapter I'm trying out an idea I've had for a while. I hope you all like it, feedback is appreciated.
Searching For Somewhere I Belong – Chapter 6
Kira's POV
*A bright flash of light consumes my body, my body feels heavy, like the energy in my body has been drained by the light. Suddenly the light disappears, I find myself in what looks like a large desert city, the heat quickly hitting me. I look around me to try and understand what's going on. From what I can quickly grasp is that there is some kind of battle, between the navy? No looks more like palace guards, fighting against what must be rebels. I don't understand what's going on, where am i? Why am I here? I quickly get shoved out of my thoughts as I hit a wall. I push myself off the wall; I have to find Ace and figure out where I am. I begin to run towards what could be the centre of the city, quickly dodging getting hit or shot on my way. After running for a couple of more minutes, I felt a shock run down the left hand side of my body. On instinct I stop and turn to my left. Before me I see a muscular man, must have been about 6'4/5, his skin was slightly tanned. He wore an average outfit of a white shirt, black pants and black boots; however what stuck out for me was that he wore a green haramaki and a black bandana on his head. I feel myself freeze, I know of only one person known for wearing these particular pieces of clothing. My thoughts were confirmed when I see him ready his three swords for an attack, was this who I think it is? Is he the reason why i'm in this particular place? He turned and looked towards me, screaming my name with a panicked tone, trying to tell me something. I begin to run towards him, but before I do, my body is hit by an explosion, throwing me against a wall. Darkness consumes my mind, however I heard his voice calling my name telling me to wake*
I feel someone shaking my body, telling me to wake up. I open my eyes squinting slightly at the bright light of the sun; I hear a sigh of relief come from the right side of me. I look up to see Ace looking down; I jump out of his arms in surprise, a blush making way to my face. It has been over a week since Ace rejected my kiss, things have been a little weird between us but I have grown to ignore it.
"Are you ok?" he asks in a concerned tone.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't I be?" I ask a little confused.
"You were asleep, and then suddenly you started shouting someone called Zoro in your sleep" my body freezes, I shouted his name in my sleep? So it was him, but why was I dreaming about someone I have never met or even seen a picture of? Where was I in my dream? What was my dream trying to tell me? A hand on my shoulders brings me out of my babbling thoughts. I look up to see a concerned look on Ace's face "are you ok?" he asks me again.
"Yeah, sorry, just what you said surprised me that's all. I'm fine" I say to him with a smile on my face. He looks at me for a little bit, seemingly analysing my face to make sure I am ok. He then smiles at me, happy to know I'm ok.
"Ok, good. So just out of curiosity, whose Zoro?" he asks curiously, and dare I say there's a little jealousy in his tone. i was over to edge of the boat and sit down, I then look over at the ocean.
"I don't know who he is" I say with a smile on my face "well no that's a lie, I know who he is, I've just never met him before" Ace takes a seat next me, I look over to him and see a confused look on his face "I had a weird dream, I was in a desert city, it looked like there was some kind of battle or war going on. I begin to run towards what could be the centre of the city, and then, suddenly I felt a shock down my left side, as if telling me that I had to go that way. That's when I stopped and looked in that direction, and then I saw someone I had only heard about but have never seen in picture or person. I only knew it was him because he had 3 swords, a green haramaki and a black bandana on his head. Logically it couldn't be him, but all clue lead to the fact that the person I saw in my dream is Roronoa Zoro" I finish my explanation, slightly frustrated.
"That's really strange, but maybe it's your subconscious, didn't you say you've always wanted to meet him? Though it's strange you saw him in a desert considering the location we're currently travelling towards" I look towards him, he had a thoughtful look on his face, and he finally looked back at me after a few minutes "maybe its fate" I give him a confused look "Maybe fate is trying to tell you that you'll meet Zoro in Alabasta" he says whilst laughing. I give him a pout, he was making fun of me I just knew it! Noticing my pout, he gives me an apologetic smile "I'm sorry, It's a stupid joke, but you never know what happens" he says as he gets up and stretches, making me blush as i hadn't realised he's topless till now " anyway; time for training, the strength behind your punches still need some work" he laughs as he walks away. I pout at his mean comments; I look back at the ocean with a sigh. What awaits me in Alabasta? Will I meet Zoro there? Or was it really just a dream? As my adventure continues I seem to have more questions than answer. What was fate trying to tell me? I stand looking away from the ocean towards the direction Ace walked. I suppose time will show me, maybe, who knows?
