SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 104 out, this is Chapter 105 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.
Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, patriotic-retainer Law/Sasha
Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda EiichirÅ-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.
Chapter 105: Arc 8: The Four Siblings Reunited!
"Guys?" Sasha swung open the door that led to the group's resting dormitory. "Chopper, we have a critical here. Strange." she frowned when she found the house empty, Ace having deposited Sabo on a nearby bunk. "Gee, thanks a lot guys." she muttered, picking up the note Robin had left on the dining table and reading it. "I go out for a stroll for about five hours and you people decide to throw a pool party. Ace," she turned to the Fire Logia. "You mind keeping an eye on Sabo-nii? I'll go grab Chopper."
"Sure." Ace nodded.
"Chopper." Sasha approached the reindeer with a solemn look on her face.
"Sasha, you came back." Chopper looked up at the older girl, his face stuffed with kebabs.
"Sorry to cut in, but we have a critical patient back in the lodging house." Sasha informed. "I require your assistance to take a look at him."
"Ace!" Chopper spotted the flame user seated beside the occupied bed.
"Yo." Ace greeted.
"Ace, who is he?" Chopper hopped onto the chair Ace got up from.
"Sabo..." Ace trailed. "He's our other brother."
"EH?" Chopper exclaimed in shock.
"Chopper, freak out later." Sasha went into medic mode. "Sabo-nii's running a high fever." she pulled out the thermometer she had tucked under Sabo's tongue. "The only time I've seen anyone with a higher fever was Nami."
"ACE!" Luffy barreled into the lodging house after Chopper made his diagnosis on Sabo.
"Luffy, quiet." Ace hushed the younger D and pointed to Sabo.
"Sabo?" Luffy gawked at the blond. "But he's..."
"That's what I thought first." Ace admitted. "I want to ask him what happened, but that'll have to wait until he wakes up."
"Are you sure this is alright with you?" Ace asked, the couple were now outside the lodging house as evening dawned and the pool party was in full swing.
"Hm." Sasha nodded, leaning her head on her lover's shoulder as they watched the fireworks explode in the evening sky. "Ace," she looked up at the pondering male. "About Teach, did we do the right thing?"
The Whitebeard Pirates' Second Commander frowned, "Teach got what he deserved; dropping him on the sea floor and drowning him was a suitable punishment for what he did to Thatch."
"You know," Sasha cast a look at the darkened house. "Once Sabo-nii wakes up, I'll have to recharge his bracelet."
"Worry about that later." Ace brushed a fleeting kiss across his partner's neck. That motion alone sent shivers down Sasha's spine and it was not long before that light kiss evolved into a full make-out session.
"What is the deal?" Zoro asked, the next morning after the news on the Enies Lobby broke out. "Even after all the Franky Family did."
"Maybe your grandpa made them look like innocents who got involved? " Sanji suggested, looking at the D brothers at the breakfast table.
"No, something elaborate like that..." Luffy started.
"There's no way he'll do it." Ace and Sasha chorused.
It's most probably Aokiji. Robin realized. I really don't understand his motives.
"Oh well, it worked out fine." Sanji shrugged. "We can get by it, but it would be rough on them if they became outlaws."
"On the other hand, they wrote horrible things about us." Zoro informed. "'Declaration of War Against the World Government'. With that on record, the bounties on our heads must be skyrocketing."
"Sabo-nii." Sasha turned when she heard the bunk creak as Sabo sat up.
"That hurt..." the blonde Revolutionary muttered, shaking his head to clear his mind.
"Sabo!" Luffy cried out, tackling Sabo with outstretched arms.
"Luffy, it's been a long time." Sabo greeted. "Ace, Sasha." he looked over Luffy's shoulder.
"I thought you died!" Luffy wailed.
"Luffy..." Ace chided, pulling the weeping teen off.
"Sabo-nii," Sasha took her place by the bed. "What happened in all these years?"
"It's a long story." Sabo looked down at his hands and recounted what had happened after the Celestial Dragon shot down his boat; about how he suffered from amnesia when Dragon found him, how he spent his days training with the Revolutionaries while having memory flashes of their sibling-hood and finally, the fight on Banaro Island which had triggered his memory.
"Nami, I was thinking," Sasha turned to the navigator. "About the Goro Goro Fruit..."
"You want to give it to Sabo." Nami guessed. "That's fine, I suppose."
"Thanks." Sasha nodded and retrieved the Devil Fruit from the save. "Sabo-nii, here." she handed the fruit to the blond. "The Goro Goro Fruit, the Lightning Logia and combined with your mastery of Armament Haki, I just know it'll put to good use. The Lightning Dragon does have a nice ring to it, right?"
"Only you, Sasha, will be able to convince me this is a good idea." Sabo shook his head and bit into the fruit. "Damn it!" he almost spat out the bite. "That was rancid!"
At that, both Ace and Luffy burst out in laughter.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
