Chapter 6: The last and final meeting

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, but I do own Kasumi. -sticks out tongue-

Me- Ok, I'm sorry it took me this long to post, but with school being out and me packing for an upcoming move, I've been busy. But I finally found time to post.

Tashigi-And also she hasn't had an idea for this story since her last chapter! So give her some slack.

Me- "F" word alert! Yes, i used the 'f' word, but if read it, then you understand why i used it. Please don't hate me! And the deal with Mt. Fugi, is that that's were all the goddess and gods live. (in Japan at least )

Zoro really had no idea were Kuina was, but he knew that she now had Tashigi. One thing never left his mind as he walked through the crowd of people; why did Kunia want Tashigi? What was her plan for her? As he continued to walk, he figured it was nice to be a spirit; he didn't have to push through people that were in his way.

His thoughts were precise and focused. Find Kuina, fight and more than likely get sent to hell in the process. Since you couldn't die twice, the only way was to be sent into a hell worst than hell. But Zoro could care less. If it meant Tashigi could get out, than Zoro would fight without a second thought.

It was hours sent Zoro last Kasumi. He had pretty much forgotten about her. But he could hardly careless. His pace hadn't changed since he started walking. His thoughts were the same I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'LL KILL YOU! His deep black eyes narrowed lower.His heart was filled with rage and anger that was easily seen.

"Zoro..."

He stopped in his tracks as dust rolled around his feet. People passed through him as he looked at the sky and around him.

"Zoro!"

The voice called louder. He shouted to the sky.

"What!"

"Don't say 'what' to me like that!"

He knew who it was. Only one girl would say that. Kasumi. He really wasn't in the mode to be talking to her. He couldn't see the annoying half goddess, he could surely hear her annoying voice ring through the air and into his ears.

"What do you want!" He called back.

"Look, there's a way I can let you and Tashigi talk again."

"No, you can't..."

"Don't say what I can and cannot do!" Kasumi's voice said in anger.

"Fine, whatever. What do I need to do?"

"Nothing. You know what to do."

"What the hell dose that mean!"

But Kasumi was gone. Zoro hated that she just left like that.

-Dream-

Zoro was thrown into a blinding light that was so bright he got a pounding headache. A small gasp of breathless air made his eyes shoot open. He found himself in a much dimmer room. Looking around everything was becoming slowly into focused. His stomach turned upside down with what he saw. Everywhere on the walls were bloody smeared hand prints. He looked down at the ground and saw puddles of deep crimson liquid following to where he was and beyond.

Zoro found where the blood source was coming from. Tashigi was sitting in a straight samurai sitting position. Her feet had deep cuts on her souls. Zoro looked closer and saw that his name craved on them. His eyes opened wide as he read his name over and over again. There was no place where she hadn't "wrote" his name.

Her head turned to him. Her navy hair was covering her right eye. It looked as if someone cut it with were dull scissors that couldn't cut worth crap. All over her face his name remained craved just as her feet. She wore a ragged dirty tan dress. (if that's what you want to call it) She weakly stood as blood ran down her leg slowly. Zoro could see his name everywhere on her legs and arms, but find no tool.

She walked closer, her feet sliding and slipping on blood, but she did not fall. The green haired swordsman stood in fear as she came closer. He couldn't help but think that she looked worst the hell and death put together.

"Zoro...?" She said with a dry tone. "...I've been waiting."

"Tashigi?" Zoro asked. At this point, he wasn't sure. Nothing this "thing" did was what Tashigi would had done.

"You still remember?" the girl said, coughing slightly. "I've haven't heard that name in what seems like forever." She looked into Zoro's eyes. They were still the same eyes Zoro remembered. This was the only thing that kept him from backing away and begging Kasumi to let him out.

He grabbed her shoulders and looked dead into her eyes.

"What happened!" he asked in firm tone.

Tashigi smiled and looked at him again. "I want to go home, but nobody can hear my screams. Every day, I become more and more broken inside." She paused as tears formed in the rims of her eyes and then down her bloody cheek. "And no matter how many times I write your name, and no matter how much I cry, you never came to wipe my eyes."

Zoro held his own tears back. He felt so guilty and selfish. He saw another tear run down Tashigi's face. He put his hand up to it, but she slapped it away.

"So what, since you now know what you've done and how much you've killed me, now you want to give me comfort? Fuck off." she said truthfully.

An invisible wave ran across the room. Tashigi looked behind her and then back to him. Without saying anything, she walked back to the corner to which she was before.

She then looked all her arms and found a place where she hadn't written his name. She a piece of broken stone and began to scrap his name on herself again. As she did, she sung a tone. "Zoro, why won't you come? Zoro, I'll wait forever. Zoro, your my lifejacket when I'm drowning. Zoro, why haven't you come?"

Zoro felt a force arrive on his shoulder. He felt his feet arise from the ground. He was plugged into more blinding light as he saw Tashigi's image fade away. He shut his eyes tightly till they watered. (for the light was too blinding to keep them open).

He fell form the sky and landed on his side when he finally reached his destination. He saw Kasumi stand with her back to him, but he could see her arms were crossed.

"Have fun?" She asked, not turning around.

" 'Have fun'? You bitch! The love of my life is living in a hell hole and all you can say..."

"Stop." She said, holding up her hand. "I can't take any more of your pain."

"You can't take any...Oh sure! So just leave me with it! Or better yet, I'll give you more! Tashigi, wait for me! I'll come whether it kills me! I will find you Kuina!" He fell to his all fours as the tears came unwilling into his eyes and fell onto the ground. "Tashigi, I'm so sorry..."

Kasumi's sobbing voice rang louder than his. "Zoro, stop it. It's no use wasting your energy on a hopeless case. Like you, Kuina has also been training and is stronger!"

Zoro's eyes glared at her. "Where are we?" He asked, in a choking growl.

"Mt. Fugi." She said.

"Perfect." Zoro, said, not moving his jaw, but his lips. He got up and walked passed Kasumi, who didn't try to stop him.

You'd better be ready...Kuina.

Ok, that's it for Chapter 5. Next Chapter will be them two fighting, which I'm not sure if I can write, but I'll try. I'm not sure when I'll be posting, but keep a look out. Oh, Chapter 4 will make since later on. (more than likely in the last Chapter. ) See yous!
