Chapter 6: Usa's Secret
Ko ran up to Gen with her big sword which he blocked with is. He smiled before pushing her with the swords, and she landed a few feet a way.
"Ko!" said Usa who wasn't paying attention.
"You should pay attention, daughter" said Gen walking up behind Usa.
He slashed her from behind, it was a seriously bad slash too. Usa fell unconscious bleeding badly.
The Straw Hats gasped, except Sanji who couldn't see anything since he was still pinned down.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Usa!" screamed Ko
Gen gave an evil smile, "I don't that was a fair fight do you, you had two people while both of you couldn't handle me. I know how to fight much better than you, I can also see though most of your moves… I trained both Kone style of weapons and Gi style of martial arts. I'll be back, I'll come for you… I'll be back in the next month. Let's go men" said Gen.
"What the captain said!" said the nurse.
"Yes!" said the crew getting better because of the nurses "treatment" and the Drunken Prate sailed away. Ko watched angrily.
"That bastard…" said Ko.
Chopper was looking at Usa's wounds, he and Nami began to take her to the girl's cabin. While Usopp took the stuff that pinned down Sanji down. Luffy went over to Ko.
"Don't say anything Captain Oblivious, I just want to be alone, got it!" said Ko.
She jumped up to her usual perch and Luffy fallowed, Ko kicked him down.
"You should know that when a lady wants to alone she means." said Sanji.
"But she may need to talk someone" said Luffy.
"I have my sister you moron!" yelled Ko who heard what they were saying. She sighed "I hope she's all right…"
Meanwhile in the girl's room Chopper had finished dressing wound while. He had noticed something a little odd, the wounds looked like they had been healing for a few days, but that was impossible, right? Nami was putting Usa's pajamas on, were pink. Nami couldn't help but to say "What's with this girl and pink?"
Chopper shrugged, Chopper couldn't help to think about the wound… what he didn't know was that Usa had a secret, one she hid from Ko.
(Flashback)
When they were 5, Ko was in Okinawa on vacation with her mother, Usa was going to come but something happened to Usa recently which Serena thought it be best if Usa stayed home, especially since she had learned how to use Ki as a weapon very recently. Usa was in the dojo, he grandfather, Moko wanted to see the true extent of his grand daughter's powers as well as an excise to see if a student can control his strength, in fact she was battling the toughest men in the dojo, she beat them all, which kind of hurt their pride… well not all she was about to fight the strongest man Kone Pete. Usa ran towards Pete and he gave her a really strong kick, too strong, it sent her flying across the Dojo.
"Crap!" said Pete.
Both Serena and Trent were watching, Usa broke though the wall and she as bleeding pretty badly.
"I'm so so so so sorry!" cried Pete.
Serena picked up Usa, despite covered in was regaining conciseness. "What happened?" asked Usa.
"I'm so so so sorry… wait, are you injured?" asked Peter.
"No I feel fine." said Usa.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" asked Trent holding three fingers.
Usa tried to think, 5 minutes later she answered "Three" she said.
"She's fine…" said Trent, Moko and Pete knowing that Usa can't very well.
"I don't know…' said Serena.
She looked up the shirts that Usa was wearing, she knew Usa was bleeding, but there was no sign that she was wounded, not even a scab or a scar.
"Very strange…" said Moko.
"I know father." said Serena.
"The blood she's covered in is clearly her own, we need to see a test" said Moko.
Usa just stood there blinking, later Serena grabbed a knife, she lightly cut Usa's arm.
"Mommy what was that for?" asked Usa almost crying.
Serena watched in amazement as the small cut became a scab and the scab disappeared.
"Holy shit!" cried Trent.
"Trent what did I say about swearing?" asked Serena.
"Sorry mom." said Trent in a bored tone.
"It's amazing, there's something special about Usa." said Moko.
"Yeah her name should be Mary Sue…" said Trent.
"Usa…" said Serena trying to think of a way to tell her 5 year old daughter who wasn't very bright about her unusual gift. "Usa you can… heal yourself very fast." said Serena.
"I can! Yay!" said Usa.
"And um… please you can't tell anyone." Said Serena worried at what might happen if Usa told someone "Even Ko."
"Why can't I tell Ko?" asked Usa.
"Well… you can't tell her right away, tell her when the time is right" said Serena.
"When is the time right?" asked Usa.
Serena tired to come up with an answer she could only think one thing "You'll know"
(End flashback)
On deck Ko was thinking to herself in her usual perch. Nami came from the Girl's cabin.
"Usa's all bandaged up… if you want to see." Said Nami but her sentence was cut by Sanji and Luffy running past her into the girl's cabin.
In the cabin Chopper looked at Usa, wondering why she didn't seem… well injured or weak. She was clearly asleep and mumbling stuff about "cheese-wiz". Both Sanji and Luffy were by her side in mere seconds.
"So how's she doing?" asked Sanji.
"She doing good, too good actually" said Chopper.
"What do you mean too good?" asked Luffy.
"It's almost as if she's not injured anymore… its very strange." said Chopper.
Everyone else came in, "How's my sister doing?" said Ko.
"She's doing fine." said Luffy.
"That's good" said Ko, she turned around and didn't look at of the others, "Look I think its best of no one comes on deck for a while… just I watch my sister. If anyone comes out I'll pin you to the deck, unless it's a about Usa or if Zoro just wants to train too" she said in a cold and serious tone.
She left, and all the other Straw Hats sighed, "She's pretty scary" said Usopp.
"You should have seen Usa angry" said Sanji who then shivered at the thought.
"Yeah I like pie…" mumbled Usa in her sleep.
Everyone chuckled at this, "Well should we go out?" asked Nami.
"I don't think that a good idea, she may have control but you could get stuck out there" said Sanji thinking about what happened to him earlier.
Everyone sighed again, "So looks like we should stay in here for a while." said Nami.
"I'm hungry!" said Luffy.
"This is not the time!" said everyone, trying not to yell.
Hors went by and Ko hadn't stopped training. It went into the night, everyone else on the other hand fell asleep while watching Usa. The next morning, Usa woke up to find everyone else sleeping, she remembered what happened the day before. She sighed. She went up the stairs and opened the door slightly, she took a peek. Ko was still training, it had been all night and she was worried. She sighed, Usa had no idea what to do: Would she tell Ko, she never knew when the time was right to tell Ko about the fact she has rabid healing? Or should she play sick until it was time to change the bandages then tell Chopper about her ability until the fight was over. She was confused what to do. Nami woke to find Usa was in bed.
"Where is that girl?" she asked.
She got up and looked up the stairs, she saw Usa was looking though the door.
"Usa what are you doing out of bed?" yelled Nami.
Usa froze and turned around slowly.
"Well I… I…" said Usa panicking, so much so she fell down the stairs, she bumped her head and got small cut her fore head. She missed Nami on her way down. This caused everyone to wake up. All Usa could was giggle nervously.
"What happened?" asked Luffy.
"I caught, Usa looking outside." said Nami.
"You should be in bed." said Chopper walking over to see if she was right.
Chopper wiped the blood away from Usa's forehead but was taken back when he saw there was scab that disappeared. Chopper began freak out.
"What just happened!" he yelled.
Everyone else noticed that Usa wasn't bleeding anymore as well, no one could hide the shock form their face.
"Well looks like I have to explain." said Usa.
She sat down and began to explain, about her healing.
"…So I don't know whether or not it had to with my Ki manipulation or it has to with the fact I become a temporary genius" said Usa.
"That is cool! Did you eat a devil fruit!" said Luffy.
"I already said I have not idea where I got this ability from…" said Usa with a blank expression.
"Plus she can swim…" said Nami sighing at the captain's idiocy.
"I know it's weird but then again... I'm a rabbit girl… then again normal on this ship…" said Usa.
"She has a point…" said Zoro.
"One more thing…" said Usa.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"Don't tell Ko…" said Usa.
There was an awkward silence until everyone yelled Out "What!"
Usa sighed, "I forgot to mention she doesn't know… didn't I?" said Usa.
"How can you not tell her?" asked Nami with a sweat drop.
"I never found the perfect time…" said Usa.
"Weren't you alone with her in small boat for the past two years?" asked Usopp.
"Yeah, but I never found the perfect time to tell her." said Usa.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"But you were with all that time..." said Zoro.
"I know… but I never found the perfect time…" said Usa.
No one could think what to say to Usa, they just stared at her.
"Well anyways… try and convince her to let you help her…" said Usa in a small voice.
No one knew what to say… until Luffy yelled out "Of course!"
"What!" yelled everyone else.
"Thank you!" said Usa.
Everyone sweatdroped.
"What if she refuses out help?" asked Sanji.
"I have an idea…" said Usa.
"Which is…" said Nami.
"It's a secret." said Usa.
Everyone but Luffy sighed.
"Does that mean you don't have one set up?" asked Zoro.
"No I have one… it's just a secret." said Usa.
"It must be super cool if you're keeping it a secret" said Luffy.
"It is!" said Usa, "I'm going to check on Ko for a second"
She got up and walked up the stairs humming, everyone stared at her, mainly because her ditzyness.
"Do you think she has a plan?" asked Zoro.
"I do!" said Luffy.
"Other than Luffy…" said Zoro.
"It seems she does and Miss Cat may know something about it by the way she's talking about it" said Robin.
"I just hope your right." said Nami.
There was a silence until they heard Usa laughing, "Hey can I have someone help me with this? Ko fell asleep and I want to play little prank." said Usa.
"Are you going to draw in her face?" asked Luffy.
Usa gave a happy nod like she always does.
"I'll help too," said Luffy.
Both… idiots went outside to draw on the sleeping cat girl's face.
"You know… with Usa it's kind of like there are two Luffys on board" said Sanji and everyone nodded.
Next Time: Everyone has settled in a routine with Ko's training, but no one has brought up helping her in the fight. And when Gen shows up the fight begins with out anyone helping... what's Usa plan? And... why the hell is Luffy glowing? Contains Mini-Story staring Ko and Sanji right after the Straw Hats find out they are cat and rabbit girls.
