Chapter 4: Hikaru and Usa…

Hikaru managed to tie his boat to the Merry Go… or Going Merry… whatever the ship's called. He managed to climb aboard.

"Thanks Lenny for letting me stay for a while." said Hikaru.

"Who are you talking to?" asked Luffy.

"Um you…" said Hikaru.

"Oh… your welcome!" said Luffy.

Usa managed to get on deck, she wore a pale blue sundress with light pink hearts covering them.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" said Chopper.

"No I'm fine…" said Usa.

"Yeah my sister needs some rest after over using her ki..." said Ko.

Usa's stomach growled and then collapsed to her knees "Food…" she moaned.

"That and food… she needs to eat some food." said Ko with a sweat drop.

Hikaru walked up to Usa and lent her a hand. Usa took it and began to blush heavily...so did Hikaru. There was a very quiet moment… then Luffy ruined it…

"Hey are you two sick your all red!" said Luffy.

"No Larry, we're fine." said Hikaru.

"Yeah but I do need to eat." said Usa.

Sanji appeared with a plate full of food… mostly sweets.

"Thanks Sanji!" said Usa and she began to eat some of it so the other girls could have some too.

"Where's mine." asked Luffy.

"In the kitchen." said Sanji in an annoyed way.

The idiot rubber captain ran to the galley.

Hikaru sighed, "I'll never get to tell her." He thought.

"I think I sustain myself 'till dinner, thanks Sanji." said Usa.

Sanji's eye turned to a heart "Of course my rabbit sweet." said Sanji.

Meanwhile Ko entered the Galley, Luffy was eating some of the sweet Sanji made… okay most of the sweets.

"Yo, Luff'" said Ko.

"Yeah." said Luffy with her mouth full.

"Since we didn't finish out belching contest last time I was wondering if after dinner you want to restart it." said Ko.

Luffy swallowed what he was eating. "You bet!" he said.

Ko began to leave, "Oh yeah, if you see both Hikaru and Usa's are red please do disturb them…" said Ko.

"Why?" asked Luffy.

"Because they like each other…" said Ko.

"I know that…" said Luffy.

"No they LIKE each other if you no what I mean." said Ko.

"What do you mean?" said Luffy.

"They LIKE each other" said Ko.

"I still don't know what you mean." said Luffy.

"I mean they LIKE each other." said Ko.

"I still don't get it." said Luffy.

"I mean they LIKE each other." said Ko.

"Nope I still no clue what you're talking about." said Luffy.

"I figured as much when I used capitals bold, italic and underlined." mumbled Ko, "Do you know what the birds and the bees are?"

"I know what birds and bees are" said Luffy.

"Well bye bye!" said Ko she ran faster then you can say "Look over there! There's a piece of meat!" which is what she should have said.

Out on deck Sanji was serving Nami and Robin when Usa approached him, "Um… Sanji… I was wondering… if I could cook dinner tonight by myself."

"Sure of course." Said Sanji who knew why she asked.

"Thanks." said Usa.

She walked away, while happily humming a song that her sister often sang called Honey.

Meanwhile Hikaru was playing cards with Usopp and Zoro.

"So you can't remember any ones names?" asked Usopp.

"Yeah, it's weird I remember their face but never their names… just my dad's and Usa's for some reason… I don't know why…" he said.

"Really what's my name again?" asked Usopp.

"… Ranma?" said Hikaru.

Usopp sweatdroped, "That's not even close…" said Usopp.

Both Hikaru and Zoro began to laugh.

"I was kidding, it's Aesop right?" asked Hikaru.

"Usopp…" mumbled Usopp.

Later dinner went normally, after a few fights between Zoro and Sanji after Zoro once again called Sanji's food crap and Luffy officially winning the eating contest between him and Usa. It was then desert time, Ko explained that he had to grab his fast other wise Usa and Luffy would eat most of it… ironically it Usa made rice kipsie squares which officially freaked Ko...

"What's wrong?" asked Hikaru.

"Who are you and what did you do to my sister!" yelled Ko

"What do you mean?" said Usa.

"My sister would never touch marshmallows… she says their evil!" said Ko.

"Is that why you once threw all the marshmallows over board that one time?" asked Sanji.

"Well… I asked what Hikaru's favorite desert was…" said Usa.

"It is my fav…" said Hikaru with a sweat drop.

"Do you really think marshmallows are evil?" asked Luffy.

"THEY ARE EVIL!" yelled Usa.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

"Tomorrow dinner I think we should eat at a restaurant…" said Ko with eye ear twitching.

After the awkwardness of the evil marshmallows, the 2nd belching contest started on deck. It started out as who can make the loudest burp then it went to talking. Luffy beat Ko, after Ko couldn't finish the song A to Z while burping…

"I win!" yelled Luffy.

"Yeah, yeah… that was lucky" said Ko.

"Who would have thought Ko liked belching contest…" said Zoro honestly surprised.

"You learn new things everyday…" said Usa.

"Though some things you don't want to know…" said Hikaru.

Usa blushed, she didn't want to get the whole evil marshmallow out.

Someone was watching the ship, "Hikaru… I will get the Gem of the Moon no matter what…" said the person watching who was Kanna.

Next Time: Kanna attacks and manages to steal the Gem of the Moon... a terrible thing will happen to Usa if she doesn't get it back in 24 hours... what is it? And can Luffy, Hikaru, Koand the Straw Hats get it back?

A/N: I should have mentioned earlier, names that will Hikaru guess will ether A. Sound alike B. be a joke on dubbing (Zolo... he hehheh)or C. have a hidden meaning (EX: Lemur is a primate like a monkey, Kagura of the void is a joke on the name which came from two Inu-Yasha characters... Sparrow is a bird, Ranma is another character played by Kappei Yamaguchi who also plays Usopp).
