Chapter 1: Upon Introduction

14 years later...

" You what?" Screeched a carrot top, wanting nothing more than to throw her captain overboard." You lost the map? You idiot!"

Watching the two squabble, the former pirate hunter sat relaxed and looking out over the distance. His captain claiming it was an accident and that it wouldn't be hard to find land, since they map(before they lost it) said that a an island village was near by.

" Do you hear that?" asked a blonde walking up on deck." Sounds like two beautiful women singing. I didn't think sirens existed."

" Sanji..." Everyone began before spotting land and...two young girls singing.

It had been a fairly normal day, shopping at the market and chatting with the towns people like they did everyday. Two sisters walked along the shore holding bags of groceries..as a pirate ship came into view. Abruptly the merry song the girls had been singing ended—once again the chance to make their dreams come true.

" What a beautiful song!" murmured a blonde aboard as he exited the ship." If I hadn't heard it with my own ears I'd swear it was two angels singing."

Smiling from ear to ear the youngest nodded her head, her black hair bouncing this way and that," People have said that before!"

" Then I'm honored to be the presence of angels, and such beautiful ones."

The youngest giggled while the oldest, had to keep from blushing the same color as her red hair," Thanks for the compliment. I'm Hikaru Suroko."

" I'm Hikari!"

" Fitting names..." spoke the blonde with a polite bow." I'm Sanji."

" And I'm Luffy!" shouted a boy wearing a straw hat, leaping off the ship a small distance behind Sanji. The rest of the introduction followed—Zoro, Nami, and Usopp.

Smiling as Hikari tugged on her sleeve Hikaru turned to the Straw Hat crew," You guys need a place to stay? There's plenty of room where we live."

" A bit much but whatever!" Laughed Hikari." We get all the free space we want...although I'm still not sure why. Haha!"

Zoro, with an uneasy expression, stood planted to the ground," I don't think—"

" It would be rude to refuse Zoro..." Sanji said with a smile." We'd be honored."

It had taken some coaxing but Zoro finally agreed, in the end he was just out numbered. Walking to their house wouldn't take long since it wasn't a long distance from the beach. Along the way the sisters began to learn about their new visitors dreams.

" So...what are your dreams?" inquired Luffy, stopping to stare at some strange animals as it trotted by.

Instantly Hikari beamed," Our dreams? Our dream is to become famous singers!" Clasping her hands with her sister's she continued." And become part of pirate crew! That way we'd not only be famous we'd be infamous! Plus we'd be heard out at sea which would go great with the name we've been given. Voice of the Sea."

Everyone but Luffy fell to the ground creating a cloud of dirt," VOICE OF THE SEA! YOU'RE ALREADY FAMOUS!"

With a half laugh, Hikaru unlocked the door, stepping aside to let everyone in," Yeah...other reasons are involved in my dream of becoming a pirate muscian. If I'm able to travel the sea...then I might be able to find someone I'm searching for. I haven't seen her since I was very little..."

" I'm searching for someone also!" chimed Luffy." Maybe we can search together! It would be great to have muscians aboard the ship!"

" REALLY?" shouted Hikari, almost tripping over a table." You'd really let us join your crew? Oh my gosh...woohoo! Yes! Yes! Yes! I accept this invitation!" Lunging at her elder sister the blonde squealed and laughed until she started crying." Can we? Can we?"

" Ugh...Hikai...I can't breath..." Squirming from her sister's grasp Hikaru was tackle/hugged again. Sighing, her frown became a smile." Sure...we'll join your crew Captain Luffy."

Yeah! The real chapter 1 is finished! YAAAY! It seems rushed though...but it wasn't::crying: At least I didn't means for its to...:sniffle:

Just as a pointer...the youngest sister won't be falling in love...it'll be Hikaru. Hikari isn't ready for a relationship and she'll say it later on(she values her independence). The sad thing is though...I don't know who with. :sweatdrop: I'm thinking Zoro...or Luffy...Sanji..? OH I DON'T KNOW! They're all so cute!
