Ok, seventh chapter. This is going to be long so I hoped you haven't read any other long stories today. Sorry if it's a little scratchy, I wrote this at 12 at night and 6 in the morning so it won't be perfect, get over it. It was originally suppose to have Sanji and Nami's group in this chapter too, but it was waaaaay to long so they'll be in the next chapter. And yes I got the name Kyo from the character in Fruits Baskets (aka: Furuba) who also has red hair. I figured my Kyo and he looked about the same. And I think Kyo is a way better match for Tohru then the damn Yuki! Sorry, wrong manga…back to O.P

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natsuki had waken up about half and hour ago when she remembered that she had been kidnapped. Since then she had begun crying:

Natsuki was lying in bed sobbing uncontrollably. "Will I ever get out of her? Am I going to die?" she thought sadly to herself.

"Do you have to cry at six in the morning?" whined the red haired boy who was apparently named Kyo.

"Did I wake you?"

"Obviously," Kyo replied sarcastically.

"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to."

"It's fine. You don't have to be so sincere. I'm use to it. By the way, name's Kyo. And yours"

"Natsuki," Natsuki (obviously) muttered. "Um… How did you get here?"

"Why do you wanna know?" he asked.

"May be, I'm trying to start a conversation."

"The dumbass kidnapped me when I was eight. Unlike the other children, he didn't kill me. He said he's waiting for the day when he can do it in front of "his" face."

""His"?"

"Yeah…somebody named…Shot…Shaggy…Share. I don't know. My grandpa, he wants to kill me in front of my grandpa as revenge.

"Revenge… for what…?"

"Do you have to ask so many questions?"

"What do you have to hide?"

"Nothing!" he said as if he was offended (he wasn't though, it's just to get the image through)

"Then keep talking."

He sighed. "Fine... My grandpa destroyed his pirate crew around a decade ago. Butch was trying to find the One Piece."

"Like my dad," Natsuki mumbled (where Kyo couldn't hear)

He continued, "Butch was the only one to escape. My grandpa ruined his plans to find the great treasure because he believed Butch plans with it was not what my grandpa thought it should be used for. Now Butch wants revenge, for his crew and for ruining his plans to find the One Piece and rule the world with his wealth. So, four years after his crew had been destroyed, he started kidnapping and killing kids in hopes of finding me to kill in front of my grandpa. Eventually, two years after he started his series of kidnaps he found me on a boat that was taking me to my grandpa…I was suppose to go live with him and his crew for safety. A friend of my grandpa was taking me to him as a favor. Butch killed the entire crew and tortured the captain in hope that he would compromise and lead him to my grandpa in exchange for his life. But the captain knew his plans (to do with Kyo). So he refused. Butch eventually killed him. So he took me and started searching for my grandpa. He came to this island to get food a few years ago, not knowing that he was even known in such a remote place. The villagers quickly recognized him and put him in the city jail. It was more like a giant dungeon. Butch was smart though, he found a way out of the jail, even tough it was known to be inescapable. He again kidnapped me, and called the town, threatening them if they wouldn't give him back his boat to get off the island he would began to kill the children. But the town treasured honor and wealth (from his bounty) more then their own posterity (kids). So, for 4 years now, he has been killing children. About a week ago he was caught, but obviously he escaped…like always. And he apparently kidnapped you.

"Yeah," Natsuki had spoke up for the first time in a long time, "because my family tried to stop him from taking our boat."

Your boat… are you rich tourist or something?"

"No, my dad is the captain of the Straw-hat Pirate Crew."

"Kyo's eyes suddenly lit up from its dull bored looking state.

"The Straw-hat crew! You're the daughter of Luffy, the captain of the Straw-hat Pirate crew?'

"Yes-"

"That means they're back?"

"Yeah, they decided that they shouldn't give up their dreams just because they have families now."

"That means…Straw-hat…grandpa…"

"What?"

"Nothing!" Kyo said as if he had just waked up.

"Okay…" Natsuki said curious of what he was thinking about.

Suddenly there was a harsh bang on the door. "Get up you stupid asses! You need to start your daily chores!" yelled Butch as if he was all the way down stairs.

"Chores?' asked Natsuki.

"Yeah…chores…whoopdee doo."

"Hurry up! Do you really expect me to live in this hell hole?" Butch continued.

"You need to go there," Muttered Kyo as he gestured Natsuki to come on has he left the room.

"Did you say something?" asked Butch.

"No, I was holding back a sneeze."

The criminal had them scrubbing, sweeping, and basically cleaning in and out, up and down, all morning. During chores Natsuki had plenty of time to think, for Butch didn't allow her them to talk unless it was cleaning-wise. And that was good because she had so many questions going through her mind…and feelings…through her body. It was lunchtime and finally Butch yelled "OK, you're done with your morning chores. now make me lunch!"

Natsuki had never been in so much physically pain in her life. They had chores in the Golden Mali (Mary, you picky Americans, though I'm one), but they were never as harsh as the ones here; or at least you never had to pick up anything or stretch yourself under something. And to tell the truth she was way too tired to go and cook lunch for a man who wouldn't even ask kindly, not to mention there were no materials to cook anything anyway. Unfortunately, Kyo, unlike her, spoke his mind.

"Butch, we are tired, give us a break. Plus, we don't have anything to cook with."

Butch stood up infuriated. "Look you little ungrateful brats; you are lucky I even let you stop cleaning this early! Now you're wining that you're tired!"

Natsuki closed her eyes as again Butch threw the boy across the room, and again he got up, blood dripping down his face. "Then how am I going to get Natsuki passed all those people?"

"Oh, you found a way to learn her name, NOW FIND AWAY TO GET HER THROUGH THE CITY! Or…she could stay here and entertain me," the criminal said slyly.

"No!" Kyo said as if he knew what would happen if he did (and he did).

"It seems you want to protect your little girl friend."

Natsuki blushed.

"No…" Kyo said glaring at Butch though you could see a blush breaking through his stern expression. Then he grabbed Natsuki's hand and stomped up the steps.

When they were in the room…

"Here," he said (to Natsuki) throwing her some (boy) clothes and a hat. "Get dressed," get dressed he told her as he walked out of the room.

Natsuki quickly put on her disguise. Then they began walking through the forest (to get to the city)

"How come you've never been recognized?" Natsuki asked as they were walking.

"Here we go with the questions again." Kyo mumbled.

"Really…how come?"

"They think I'm part of the town.

"They never notice you scars or your dirty state?"

"They think I and my father work for construction."

"Ok. How come you never tried to lead the people to Butch's hideout?"

"I did…when I was ten…it didn't turn out gook for either one of us." He said quietly.

"How?"

"Three men were shot and you can only imagine what happened to me…"

Oh…"

They were quiet after that until they got to the city.

"If anyone asks, you're my cousin who's visiting for the weekend. Just let me do the talking. Ok?"

"Ok."

As they walked into the small market the shopkeeper chimed, "Morning, Kyo!"

"Morning!" Kyo replied cheerfully.

"Wow you're quite an actor," Natsuki giggled.

"Shutup," Kyo said embarrassed.

They gathered up the groceries and continued to the register.

"Oh, I didn't notice the young man you had with you today, Kyo," the cashier said.

"Sh-he's my cousin. He's visiting for the weekend."

"Oh, and what's your name?" the clerk (shopkeeper, same thing!) asked Natsuki.

"Mark," The said in

At the same time

"John,"

"Um...it's John Mark, but I go by Mark," Natsuki said coming to the rescue.

"I see," said the clerk, "Well you two have a nice day and I hope to see you around again.

"Yeah, us to," said Kyo.

As they walked back to the hut Kyo began scolding Natsuki.

"You almost screwed that up! I said let me do the talking."

"But the clerk asked me!" she argued back, "Not to mention I did save us from being identified!"

"Oh, I could have said that!" (Actually he did say it when I wrote this but I changed it)

"Their argument was interrupted when suddenly a tree fell.

Natsuki pulled Natsuki out of the way (like in the comics and the movies).

"Damn lumberjacks!" he whispered.

"Sorry!" One of the men yelled from afar off.

He let go of Natsuki and she clumsily fell to the ground.

"Goodness, you sure are dense."

"No… I was thinking about something."

"Oh, I'm surprised you were actually thinking," He replied sarcastically.

"Ha Ha… Didn't you ever think to run away?"

"Been there, done that. I did when I was twelve, but as usual there was no way off the island because it is so remote. And eventually I was caught, again."

"Did he (Butch) do anything to you then?"

"Ya think," he replied sarcastically (again).

"Do you think you'll ever get out of here?"

"Yeah, as soon as Butch does. But I'd rater not...the sooner he finds shanks…yeah that's his name..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERRUPTION TIME!

I bet you're all excited about this new news, but unfortunately, Natsuki has heard many great stories of Shanks, but didn't hear Kyo's last statement. So basically, she can't tell him anything and has just learned right about…nothing!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They arrived back at the hut and made Butch lunch. After doing their evening chores they were too tired to speak and fell asleep right away

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
