Chapter 5

I was just about to talk to luffy-ya when zoro-ya decided that its the perfect time to butt in and dragged him towards the supermarket.

"He's alcoholic and I think he has a crush on luffy as well～ good luck～" nami-ya said from my back.

"And why do you think I care about that nami-ya?"

"Oh come on! You clearly have a crush on him, I can tell. Hmm… maybe if it was only the two of you… something would've already happened…" she teased. Damn that witch! What is she implying? That I would take advantage of luffy-ya?

Under me… panting… calling my name…

I felt my cheeks heat up from the rush of involuntary perverse thought that flooded my brain. "I'm not a pervert nami-ya…"

"I never said you were～ oh! Doctor law what in the world were you thinking?" she giggled before finally leaving me alone. "Oh and by the way, your blush betrayed you!" She shouted as she entered the department store, probably looking for more clothes. I look so fucking dumb from what happened. I'll get that witch… someday!

From the time that I've met them I deliberately took note of their personalities and I bet I can even describe them in one word each.

Zoro-ya is grumpy, Nami-ya is materialistic, Chopper-ya is adorable, Sanji-ya is a pervert, Usopp-ya is geeky, Nico-ya is mysterious and Luffy-ya is… luffy-ya is…

I don't know where to start with luffy-ya.

"Torao! We're back～" I heard the familiar voice greeted me from my side. I looked at luffy-ya and saw the straw hat wearing boy munching happily on a big bag of barbecue flavoured potato chips while zoro-ya is drinking vodka straight from the bottle like what you'd do with water. Nami-ya was right! He is alcoholic, better keep an eye on him. He might do something fishy while no one is looking.

"Oh! hello there luffy-ya!" I faked my surprised reaction, he doesn't need to know that I was actually waiting for them to come back. He just laughed while I swear I heard zoro-ya say 'hello there my ass' under his breath. Is it that obvious that I have a crush on this nincompoop? "You know, sanji-ya will be mad if you spoil your lunch…" I reprimanded him but that' not really my concern, it the fact that he was consuming a huge amount of junk food which is very unhealthy that makes me worried.

He pouted, like pouted really hard. "But I'm hungry～" he whined. I was about to lecture him about empty calories and its consequence if suddenly we were attacked and we need to run but the ever so righteous and doting zoro-ya decided to butt in for the second time around.

"Let him be! He can eat anything he wants and any time he wants to." Zoro-ya growled.

Luffy smiled to zoro-ya which in turn the fuckin tanned man ruffled his hair like a dog and they both stuck out their tounges at my direction. Well sorry for being concerned!

All I can do was tut as I went to the direction of the pharmacy, fine! But don't come running back at me when you're zoro-ya passed out from alcohol poisoning!

Lunch time was something I looked forward to, sanji-ya insisted this morning that he'll take charge of cooking our food from now on. He's a chef after all, he knows his shit. My eyes began darting everywhere as I made my way to the food court, they were already seated at the center waiting for me obviously. I was still miffed, I know! It's childish and all but that's just how I am. Once I arrived they greeted me warmly and we began digging in on the roasted chicken and cream stew that sanji prepared. It was fucking delicious! The dessert which is chilled tiramisu topped with rum raisin ice cream was was no less exceptional as the main dish and we enjoyed everything thoroughly, keen on not wasting anything as chef-ya will get mad..

Usopp-ya caught everyone's attention by clinking on his glass with his fork "Oh guys according to the book, we have to check regularly on our barriers! After lunch I suggest we group up and check on it… I don't wanna take chances of being invaded ya know!" He said.

"Why, That's a very good idea artist-san! That book you have there is really helpful, do you mind if I borrow it some time when you're not using it?" Robin spoke up after everyone was done agreeing.

Usopp-ya blushed a little from the compliment and merely nodded happily to robin-ya.

"What about the grouping guys?" Nami-ya interjected, she did have a point. "As far as I can remember there are 6 possible entrances to the mall, two of which is at the parking lot downstairs and well, I'll just add the rooftop to the list just to be sure. So I suggest 2 of us go to each cardinal direction and meet up again at a later time then divide ourselves in a group of four to go up and the other downstairs." Again, everyone murmured their agreements.

"I suggest that luffy-ya and I go to the northern entrance while zoro-ya and sanji-ya at the southern part since thise two are the ones with the most chances of zombies breaking through, the rest can choose between west and east since it only faces the parking lots. Now, I'm not implying that the others are weak but I think those who can fight better should opt for the hazardous one than risking losing one of our skilled members such as usopp-ya and nami-ya who plans our movements…" I said seriously as I placed my finished dessert plate on the table. I glanced at everyone and they were giving me these weird looks like I grew another head. Sanji-ya and Zoro-ya glared at each other then at me while Nico-ya and Nami-ya are giggling together. Usopp-ya and Chopper-ya on the other hand seems to agree on what I said and luffy-ya was just staring at me the whole time.

"What? Did- did I say something wrong?" I asked, I'm sure they can tell from my tone that I was upset as they just shook their heads and went on their appointed tasks. Nico-ya who passed by leaned and whispered something when everyone was out of hearing range.

"And I thought kenshin-san was the only one interested in luffy-san in the group… fufufufu…" I feel my lips tugged into a frown. Again, these girls would know better than not to mess with me. There you go, another name added to my hit list after this shit is done, for now, we'll just have to see do we?

"Fufufufu" she laughed knowingly as she went ahead and catched up to nami-ya in strides.

… … … … … South entrance … … … …

"Why of all people am I stuck with you damn marimo! I wish I was with my two mellorines～" sanji, in a whirlwind emotions snapped at the green haired police and then said the last part with a love struck expression. They reached the entrance and checked for the gates which was still securely locked.

"Likewise perverted chef!" The alleged marimo retorted. "It's not like I chose to be here! That frickin' surgeon planned all of this!" He continued with a huff while looking past the shutters to the outside. The fence was still holding the horde of undead at bay.

"Oh!" The ever calm sanji's visible eye widened a little before returning to its 'sleepy slash bored look' " you do have a crush on luffy!" He commented while he looked for other things that might help hold the door down, just in case.

"NO! I just don't want perverted people like you and that creepy doctor hang around and take advantage of his naivety!" The other growled.

The blonde smirked, he knows he had hit a nerve."why? Jealous much?" Oh! This is gonna be fun! Mwehehehe…

" …" zoro said through gritted teeth and went back to the center where they'll be meeting up.

"Oi! Wrong direction dumbass!"

"Fuck you!"

… … … … North Entrance … … … …

" so… luffy-ya… how are you today? " Wow! Just wow! My fucking icebreaker was a sloppy how are you! I looked beside my companion who just smiled and said he was doing great. "I'm really sorry about what happened this morning, I just thought that being a doctor, I felt that It's my responsibility to look out for 's physical health, who knows what may happen right?"There, I apologized!

"It's okay! So tora-o is a doctor? What kind?" He asked as we walked towards the entrance, he was a little behind me as my long legs allow me to stride farther. He sounds like he really didn't mind. I'm cool with that.

"I'm a cardiac surgeon…" I replied.

A silent 'o' escaped his pink lips. He seems to be in deep thought. We reached the door in a few moments and he looked beyond the shutter to see if the fence was already destroyed, it was not. So far, so good.

"Anyways you seem too young to be in the university, did you skip a few grades?" I asked again , I'll just stick to gathering bits of information for the mean time no need to rush and poke my nose where it doesn't belong.

"Me? Young? Hah? I'm already 20 years old!" He said with disbelief written all over his smooth face. Wait! Did he just say he was TWENTY?

"20? Hmm…honestly, you look pretty young for your age…" I hastily answered back not showing I was just a little happy knowing that. Yes! Yes! Motherfuckin yes! I'm not a pedo～ not a freaking pedo～～

"So I've been told, what about you tora-o? How old are you?"

"26" Just so you know, six years isn't a long time so don't worry babe! Oh god, why am I talking like this…

"Tora-o? You look constipated! Are you alright?" He looked at me with a concerned look while he was reinforcing the door with ropes and poles.

"Uhm… yes luffy-ya, I was just thinking about something…" Well, technically about you but it's too early for that, we just reconciled you know!

He just hummed and skipped to my side before dragging me back to the rendezvous point.

… … … … Center of the mall … … … …

"What's taking them so long?" Nami groaned as she checks the time at the clock nearby.

"Nami-san, just relax! Maybe they found something or maybe mmm-mmm-mmm is taking his time getting to know you-know-who!" Robin pointed out, with that said the meteorologist melted and remembered their plan not too long ago.

"Oh right! I hope they get to know each other really well!" She winked at the raven female, before giggling in unison, they were after all, avid yaoi fan girls.

Once the eight survivors reunited they then proceeded to their second task, with nami, usopp , chopper and robin climbing the stairs to the rooftop and the remaining four to the parking lot which also has an entrance.

… … … Law's P.O.V … … …

The basement wasn't as scary as I imagined, it was merely a long corridor with lights at the sides and a glass door with a metal shutter at the front. I thought we'll find some of the undead lurking at these depths but it seems that we're really are safe inside the mall. Luffy-ya began securing all the locks and asked sanji-ya to help him bound the ropes. There was nothing alarming happened while they did that except for that creepy ass smile that chef-ya throws at luffy-ya from time to time. I narrowed my eyes to that, tsk! pervert-ya apparently swing both ways, I wonder if they'll notice if I kill him in his sleep and then blame it on a heart attack or a nightmare… after all I'm a very very good doctor. I glanced beside me and saw that zoro-ya was miffed too. Hai～ why do I have so many competitions!

"Ok guys were done! Let's go!" Luffy-ya said as he and sanji approached us. I resheathed my sword and police-ya did too before going back up.

Upstairs, I took notice that there's only racoon-ya (I swear he look likes one!) waiting for us, he was sitting on the fountain ledge while clutching his axe. Me and my other companions shot each other a panicked look and we hurriedly ran to his direction.

"Ch-chopper! Where the hell is everyone?" Zoro-ya shouted.

"Oh! God! You startled me! Nami and Robin is in there!" He pointed at the store a couple of steps away from us. "And usopp found the control room at the second floor, he said he'll try to find any useful to do with that"

"Attention shoppers! Thank you for shopping at Grand Line Mall, as a token of our appreciation to our most valuable costumers we have a very special gift just for you! All products will be at 0.00 belli each! You heard me right0.00 belli each. If you buy one you can take all for free! So what are you waiting for? Shop now at this God damned abandoned mall!

I shook my head slightly and bit my lips to stop myself from laughing, all these events have took its toll mentally for everyone. The book must've said something about keeping our morales high.

Den den den den den den den den den den den den…

A Deep pounding synth bass entrance began to shook the entirety of the mall. Nami-ya and robin-ya marched out of the shop wearing oversized pastel coloured ball gowns with matching out of place heart-shaped sunglasses and posed by the door frame before lip synching the song in perfect unison.

"I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gonedid they just do the vouge?

I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn !

I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.

I crashed my car into the bridge."

. Luffy-ya was already on the floor guffawing from their ridiculous poses as well as chopper-ya while sanji-ya had those weird perverty heart shaped eyes, both zoro-ya and I are the only ones who are not giving up on our steady facade.

"I don't care! I love it! I don't care!"

"Oi where are you taking me?" I heard luffy-ya shout as he was being carried, yes carried by two females into the shop.

"I don't care! I love it (I love it!) I don't care!"

We were in for a surprise when luffy-ya exited the shop wearing a maid costume and a blonde wig. Oh my god! My heart! He's so cute! The three posed by the entrance and when the first verse repeated again he ran towards chopper-ya and sanji-ya grabbing them by the arms and charged full speed towards the shop.

"I love it! I don't care!"

Chopper-ya then came out giggling wearing a cute antler hat with a small pink cap at the middle and ran towards the table and sunk his axe in the middle.

"WHOOOOOOO! I love it!" He sang. Very cute racoon-ya.

Sanji-ya then strutted out in a purple suit with the two ladies at his side. Shit! That's the best description of how ugly the color was.

'Come-on tora-o and zoro! Let's get you something from inside!"

"No, it's okay! I'm good!" I reasoned hard, well tried but hey, I get to feel his soft hands sinking into my wrist. Hey! Did zoro-ya just eye luffy-ya's ass? He's soooo dead!

"I don't know what to wear!" Again with my flimsy excuses.

"Just wear anything! Hahahahha" he said as he threw a thong towards my face.

I ended up abandoning my early clothes for a brown jacket with a hood,an aviator glass and a fake moustache. Hey luffy-ya! look at my hypnotizing abs!

Zoro-ya was surely over competitive, he should have just wore nothing. He was dressed as a police stripper… he's already a policeman, I don't get it. The alcohol must've have killed his logic already.

We ran around the mall destroying stuff here and there while adding more freaky accessories to our ridiculous getups, what just a song turned into a whole fucking album! Soon, usopp-ya joined us wearing a mask that accommodates his well endowed nose. I couldn't stop from laughing.

Everyone then grabbed each other's hand and formed a circle before running in one direction. Fuck! We're going too fast

We're on our 50th rotation and nami-ya was so dizzy she accidentally fell into the fountain. Revenge is so sweeeet! Everyone disbanded and fell on the floor laughing. God! I haven't laugh this hard for so long! We stood up and brushed the dirt of our clothes, well all good things must come to an end I suppose. We walked back towards a more decent clothes shop and replaced our costumes with real clothes. I can only assume that even though everyone was laughing a while ago, it didn't changed the fact that we were trapped in a mall with flesh eating zombies outside waiting for us, there was still that lingering somber mood that everyone seems to possess. I personally didn't notice the time not until sanji-ya called everyone for dinner.

Again, we were greeted by this appetizing aroma from his masterful creation. Tonight we are having vegetable salad,baked pollock, seafood paella and stir fried beef broccoli. What a night!.

I sensed that awkward mood from before have thinned out. We got to know each other more awhile ago so I guess that has something to do with it, after all we were no longer strangers. Yet, I still don't know much about my companion's life except for their distinctive characteristics. Nico-ya was giving me this knowing look, it was like she was trying to nudge me but from a distance.

I sighed, okay fine! " So minna-ya, where are your families?" I asked casually while picking on the salty capers in my plate. For all I know, their family might have been one of the zombies in the street that we killed but I can't say for sure.

Chopper-ya raised his hand and I nodded for him to proceed. He was still a student after all which explains the childish gestures. " I only have my great grand aunt but she lives in canada! She's a doctor too and she's really really old! I only came here in grand line because of luffy and usopp who I met before in a boarding school back then and because no university would accept for me for my age" he chuckled as the three of them shared a look of reminiscence. They were like my late friends in a way only younger and maybe more carefree.

"My mom died a few years back and my father is a traveling artist! I met luffy because his godfather was my father's employer so I don't really have anything here." Usopp-ya piped in. I can say that we share something in common, both of us were inspired by our parents.

"Me too! My brothers are in brazil with my parents and my grand father right now! So I guess their safe. They left a few weeks before school started." Luffy-ya said while his fork was mid way to his mouth. I had a feeling that he wasn't telling everything.

"My sister's in sweden, I was… ya know just trying out my luck here but I did go to grand line university where I was a meteorology major." Wow I'm impressed, witch-ya wasn't just pretty face after all. Weather forecasting is something out of my scope of knowledge because anatomy and biology were my forte when it comes to science.

"Well, I have a foster father but we don't really talk a lot, he lives in spain and I prefer living here" zoro-ya shared quietly. He wasn't really the social butterfly among the group but he was more talkative than me.

"My immediate and extended family is in spain, what's your father's name?" I asked, well I don't really care but for the sake of being civil I have to try talking to him atleast.

"Dracule Mihawk. But, I use my mother's last name to honor her, I heard she was also a law enforcer she died in a shoot out with a local gang." He added. I shot him a surprised look, I've met the regal man a few times before. "My brother ace too! He said there were already alot of monkey's living in this world so he used mom's surname shishishi!"

"What about sanji-ya and nico-ya?" I turned to the other two haven't opened about their lives.

"My old geezer's in france, just like nami-chwan here I was just merely trying my luck out in here" he shrugged, well subtracting his perversity and excessive smoking he was very normal compared to us. He wasn't alcoholic, no ocds, no everything well aside from the fact that he was raised by convicts and criminals.

Everyone looked at Nico-ya expectantly, she was the most mysterious in the group so it was obvious that everyone was curious about her life, she just smiled at us and leaned her slender arms at the table. "I don't have anyone in my life, my parents died in a freak accident when I was young, I don't think I have any other relatives aside from them so… I grew up in an orphanage in russia, I went to an all girl's high school in england and ended up with a scholarship here, I've got nothing to share since I grew up normally like everyone else aside from I read a lot of books and I'm an archaeologist" She said with boredom laced in her velvety voice. Well she seems to be telling the truth since I read a little of her body language.

Dinner has come and passed but it was still too early to go to bed so nami-ya, zoro-ya and I raided the liquor store in search for some rum for zoro-ya and wine for everyone else. We plan on drinking light just to pass some time and maybe hit the sacks early.

"Do you really believe with what robin said?" She asked quietly , the question caught me off guard since I didn't really suspect anything malicious or wrong with the woman.

"Nope and I don't really care." Zoro-ya answered back.

"True, its none of my business and I know that it doesn't matter at all but… I just felt something is not right here…" she said. "Call it intuition or whatever but I hope I'm wrong…"

"I hope so too…" I heard zoro-ya said as he opened the door to the store.

To be continued…
