Well, here is the next one. It took longer than I thought! This I before they come to the Grand Line, I'm sorry. I'll tell you why later.
Thanks for reviewing!

Previosly on DD (Dangerous Devil):
When Zoro acting weird Nami asked why. Zoro tell Nami about his past and that Kuina was killed by a dark-dressed thief.
(Yeah, short I know!)

"It must have been horrible. To find out that your friend been killed.."

Zoro looked down. "Yeah. It was."

Nami nodded slowly. She felt a bit sorry for him.
"But when you say months, do you know how many?"

He shrugged.
"Not sure. Nine or ten. Maybe eleven..."

"But did you find him?"

Zoro closed his eyes.
"Yes I did.

He opened them again.
"For 1 and a half year ago.."

o-OFlashbackO-o

"Who are you?" Zoro shouted to the stranger. He turned around.

"Who wanna know?"

"Answer my question!"
The stranger shrugged.
"No one know my real name. But you can called me Shadow."

Shadow? What kind of name was that?

"And who are you?"
Zoro pulled his swords out, all three.
"I'm the one who will be the best swordman in the world."

Shadow snorted and laughted at the comment. He grinned.
"That's strange. She said so to. That girl from the dojo..."

"So it was you? You killed her?" The thief shrugged.
"So what? Did you known her or something?"

Zoro's face become dark.
"Yes I did. She was my...best friend."

"Really? How fun.."
Shadow smirked.
"Yeah, You're right. I killed her. And what will you do about that?"

Zoro runned towards him. "I'm gonna kill you!" he screamed and attacked the thief, but Shadow was gone.

How..?

Zoro turned around but to late; he felt a horrible pain in his side.

"To slow."

The dark-dressed boy smirked against him. He pulled out his other dagger and stood in fight-position.

"So? Don't want to fight? And maybe..." he licked his dagger. "Maybe you'll repay your friend's death.."
Zoro almost fell. The pain was unbearable. "You'll pay for this.. " he whispered between his teeths.

"Only if you'll defeat me, Haramaki-san." Zoro breathe heavy. Shadow made the first move.

He rushed against Zoro while swinging both his daggers from two completely diffrent angles. Zoro fend of with the dull sound of metal. The thief rotated and striked again, now with both of the daggers at the same direction. Zoro folded out of the way and attacked with his "Tiger Hunting Prey". To his surprise Shadow stopped both his sword against they thin daggers. The only thing he succeded with was to give Shadow a little scratch on the cheek. The boy grined.
"Better than you belive maybe?"

And before Zoro had time to blink Shadow cut him in his hands. Zoro gasped of the pain and didn't reache the hard kick in his ribs. He fell to the ground, but roll away at the same time as Shadows daggers whined down in the ground behind him. Zoro get on his feet and attacked the thief again. Shadow saw that his dagger were stuck deep into the ground. When Zoro's swords came closer he made a vault backwards and land half on his knees. From there he made a jump and surprised the swordman when he climbed on him and gave him punch after punch. Zoro dropped one of the swords and gave Shadow a painful hit in his face. The thief didn't react. Instead he jumped of Zoro and land behind him. Zoro rotate fast but the thief didn't move. Zoro meet by a defaint expression.

"As a future swordmaster you should let me bring my daggers back"
Zoro frooze.

"That only counts if it's swords, and besides, you would never let me do it."
Shadow gave him a half smile.

"No. And I won't be a swordmaster either.."
Zoro sighed at the comment.

"Fine. Do what you want."
He put himself ready in a fight-position and waited for the next move.But it didn't came.

Zoro started to be impatient.
"Well? Can't you bring them up?"

"No..they are to deep down.."

"Hm?"

Shadow turned around; a evil grin showed in his face.
"Just kidding."

Zoro had no time to pull his swords up. Shadows sharp daggers slice two deep wounds in his chest. He gasped and cough blood.
The theif jumped on Zoro who fell to the ground. Shadow pressed one of the daggers at the swordmans neck.
Slowly, the blood begun to run.

"So you will become the best swordman in the world? Are you kidding? If you can't win over me you can never be the best!"

Zoro cought blood again. He felt bad. He had lost for the first time since Kuina died. He forced himself to smirk.

"And.. what will...you do now? Won't you kill me? Like you...did to Kuina."
Shadow hesitated.

"She was your friend huh? That...Kuina."
It hurted to talk. Zoro tried to nod, but it didn't succeed. The dark-dressed smiled.

"I thought so. And..well yes, I'll kill you, but not today."

"..what?"

"No. I want you to suffer a bit more."

He gaved the swordman a devil-like smirk.
"I like when people suffering you know."

The boy looked so evil than it almost gaved Zoro shudders. Shadow put his head to the side and looked down at the swordman.
"And it would be funnier to fight you when you have more skills."
He laughed.
"But I almost forget... Who are you?"

"I'm...Roronoa Zoro."

"Zoro huh? Never heard of you before.."
He snorted.
"But I'm sure I will some day."
Shadow gaved Zoro a last smirk and then he jumped of the swordman and disappeard in the dark.

o-OEnd of flashbackO-o

"Wait. Did you just said "Shadow?"

Zoro nodded.
"Heard of him?"

Nami nodded slow and get to her feet.
She returned in about a minute.

"Look here!"

Nami put the wanted-list under Zoros nose.
"Is it him?"

Zoro grabbed the paper and looked closer.
"Yeah, it's him. Where did you get this from?"

"Well...I took that poster from Yosaku and Jonny. I don't think they need it anyway.."

"Huh?"

Nami pointed under the picture.
"Look. Don't you see how much it is!"

Zoro looked closer.
"What! 56 milion berries! But that's...!"

"..more than Luffy, yeah I know. And I can't belive you fought with this guy!

"Yeah..."

It become silent again.

"But..."

"What?"

"Hm..the letter...what did it said?"

Zoro looked down. "Yeah, the letter...well..it's from one of Sensei's men."
Nami looked confused.

"He want you to return?"
Zoro shoked his head.

"No. You see, Sensei wants to help me and he send out some men to look for Shadow for me.."
Nami's eyes widden.

"So you meen...they've found him?"

"Yeah."

"But where is he then?"

"On an island called Nakodo-island...But I have no clue where it is.."

"Nakodo-island..." Nami thought loud. "I think I've heard of that island before! Come!"
The navigator grabbed Zoro by the collar and they rushed to the navigation-room.
Nami started to look on every map she could find.

"I know I've heard of it..." she mumble, more to herself than to Zoro.
After a qaurter of seeking Nami was about to give up.

"I can't find it!" she yelled and sat down at her chair. "But I know I've seen it"
Then Zoro put a map in front of her eyes.

"Is it this one?"
Nami grabbed the map and looked closer.

"Yes! It is! Where did you found it?"

Zoro pointed.
"On the floor."

Nami looked down. The floor where now covered with maps; they could'nt even see the floor anymore. The order she had have in the room were gone. She stared at his finger and sweetdropped.

"On the floor...?" He shrugged.

"Anyway, Nakodo-island. Well..."
Nami put the map out.

"Hey! It's not far from here! If we change the course it won't take more than one or two days!"
She smiled against him.

"And I'm sure we can get an excuse for it to! Maybe that you need to sharp your swords or.."

"Nami." Nami stopped."Yes?"

"I'm not sure if you understand what this meen to me...I can't kill him, even if I want to...I have to capture him!"
Nami looked shocked, she had never seen him like this before. She grabbed his hand.

"Maybe I don't, but I'll do all I can to make you get him!"

He looked her in her eyes a moment, then he pull away. She released him and begun walking to the door. There she stopped and turned around to face him.

"Try to get some sleep. If we will be there tomorrow, you'll need it."
She turned around to go.

"Thanks."

Nami smiled. She walk out and crossed the deck to sleep in the girls-room.

If she only had known...

Haha! That's it! R&R!

Yak! Shadow licked the dagger! (with blood on?) Maybe I should write it "Zoro, the vampire slayer" or something... hehe...

And what do you think about Shadow anyway? R&R Pleaz!.
