Names

It's dark yet warm like a summers night. He tries to huddle closer to the warmth but pain shoots through body complaining of the movement. 'Why do I hurt?' He whines. Voices whisper 'Whose is it?' Eyes flutter open tiredly. It was still quite dark he was just able to make out to large blurry forms. His body trembles at the blurry figure, which more numbing pain burst out. He cries.

"He's awake." Eyes turning to gaze down at him, frightening him further, they were so big. "Shh, it's okay," The gentle voice spoke again, feeling a hand treading through his hair soothingly that he relaxes into. Slowly the figures become clear revealing two women, one with green hair, the other ginger. He realizes it's the green haired woman stroking his head as he lays on her lap, he smiles brightly at her.

The women seemed stunned by his smile, something seems to cross their mind before the green haired lady smiles back while the other woman looks upon him confused.

"Can you try to sit up?" He gives an unsure nod. The woman holding him carefully moves him up though still letting his little body lean by hers, she was a nice lady.

"Could you tell us your name?"

"Name?"

"You don't know?" The ginger asked looking horrified. She looks to the other resulting in a few hurried whispers, he couldn't catch anything they said just seeing the grim faces before they turned back to him. "So what do we call you?"

"Filth?"

"No, no, no. that's not a name. Try again?" The nice lady gave him an encouraging smile, yet it seemed strained.

"Slave?" Her smile falters.

"What did they call you when you were being sold?" She asks again.

"When there were all those scary faces?" The women nod at him. For a moment the boy scrunched his face up as he started to think. "Luffy?" He responds, though not exactly sure if that was right.

"Okay, we'll call you Luffy." The woman seeming relieved by his answer. "I'm Sonia and this is my sister, Mari" She gestures to the ginger-haired woman, still watching him unsurely. He gives the other a smile "Hi, I'm Luffy."

She doesn't speak for a moment instead looks to the other woman, she sighs at the pleading look she is sent. Next looks back down the small child still waiting expectantly. "Nice to meet you Luffy, I'm Mari." Something inside her warms up seeing the boy's grin brighten at her answer, Mari gives a small smile back. How could a child smile in such a place?

Yay, I'm back! Love hearing you are liking this story. Many of you liking slave Luffy being involved with the sisters. I'm actually doing this cause I've read so many Luffy slave fic which I love. But always wondered why he hadn't at least had an encounter with them.

By the way, if you guys can throw in ideas on how Luffy will melt Boa's ice cold heart this time that would be fantastic.

Also, I know some of you are asking for me to write longer chapters. Sorry, writing small chapters helps me relieve some stress from writing my longer chapters in my other stories. Especially when I get writer's block.
