Here's part 2 for you.
I forgot to say that this is set before Vivi, Chopper and Robin (but maybe you noticed that already).
On with the story.
2.Bye bye mom (part 2 of 2)
Nadeshiko was a woman in her late twenties. She was healthy and good-looking.
Her hair was long and black, and her eyes where dark.
She was a very calm and patient person. She didn't like to yell or argue.
Nothing could upset her. Nothing except two things.
"MONKEY D LUFFY EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
Her sons.
Nadeshiko's two sons were standing in front of her in the kitchen of their small house.
"But mom I'm hungry." Luffy said with a pained expressing on his face.
On any other person it would have broken their heart, but not Nadeshiko. Ten years as a mother had made her immune to it.
"You're not eating anything until you tell me what you were thinking!" She know those words where the ones that hurt her son the most.
Sure enough Luffy looked like his entire word had crashed down on him. Tears were starting to gather in his eyes as he looked at her. He looked like a helpless little puppy.
Nadeshiko didn't like puppies.
"That goes for you too Ace." She didn't even have too turn around and look to know that her other son was heading for the dinner table. She had developed a sixth sense when it came to her sons.
"Get back here!"
A sixth sense that was driving her insane.
Ace obediently walked back to stand beside his brother. He was the good one of the two. Although 'good' might have been an exaggeration.
"Why are you angry at me. It was Luffy that cut himself, not me." Ace defended himself.
She could feel a massive headache starting to form. 'All right Nadeshiko' she thought to herself. 'Calm down and let them explain before you overreact.' She took a couple of deep breaths before saying in the calmest voice she could manage:
"Just tell me one at a time what happened. Luffy you first." She closed her eyes and tried to stay calm. This couldn't possible be as bad as the time when Luffy almost drowned, because Ace thought the fastest way for Luffy to learn how to swim would be to throw him out of a boat in raging waves and let him swim back to shore. Or when Ace fell asleep while hanging from the roof of the highest house of the village, because they wanted to 'look at the view'.
"I cut myself under my eye." Luffy started to tell. "Because I wanted to show Shanks that I'm brave enough to be a pirate." Nadeshiko barely resisted the urge to yell 'You will not be a pirate as long as I'm your mother.' Instead she said:
"What happened after that, Luffy?"
She didn't sound too angry.
"Then Makino gave me lunch." Nadeshiko's blood pressure was becoming dangerously high by now. She could feel that the worst thing was coming right about…
"And I ate a Devil's Fruit"
…now.
"YOU DID WHAT!"
Her eyes flung open. Flames were burning in her eyes. All her anger surfacing.
Luffy was totally oblivious to his mother's reaction.
"It's so cool! Look mom!" A smile stretched from ear to ear over Luffy's face. He was to busy showing his new ability.
Nadeshiko turned Ace.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM! WHAT WERE YOU DOING!"
Ace's answer was short.
"I fell asleep."
'He can't help it.' She thought while clenching her fists. 'He's narcoleptic, he can't help it.'
"I'm sorry mom."
At least he apologised. She wouldn't kill him. Luffy on the other hand.
She turned her head to find out were he was. Luffy was at that moment hanging upside down from the ceiling lamp stretching his arms to touch the floor.
Something deep down inside her snapped at that moment.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" she stomped out of the kitchen and up the stairs to her bedroom.
Luffy and Ace looked at each other.
"Can we eat now?" the two boys shouted in unison.
"YES!"
5 minutes later Nadeshiko appeared in the kitchen again carrying a suitcase. She had managed to calm herself from burning inferno to simply angry. She turned to her sons, who where sitting at the table 'eating'. Sucking up the food might have been a better description.
"Ace, Luffy." She said. "Mom is gonna go for a little trip. I don't know how long I'll be gone." She took a breath. This was a little sad but her mind was set. She put down the suitcase on the floor and walked up to the table.
She gave Luffy a hug from behind.
"Luffy try and be a good boy and behave."
She walked over to Ace and hugged him as well.
"Ace, you take care of your brother."
She walked back to pick up her suitcase. She turned around to take one last look at her sons. With a smile on her face she said:
"I love both of you very much. Good bye Ace, good bye Luffy."
"Bye bye mom."
Nadeshiko walked out of the door leaving her home and her sons. They would be all right.
The rest of the village would look after them. She wasn't cut out to be a housewife. Her live was on the sea, her sons' would be too.
Author's notes: This one was fun to write, I love Luffy's mother (well my version of her).
There will be at least one more chapter, but a different memory (I just have to write it first).
Thank you for reading. Please review or something.
