I do not own One Piece, only Alex, Izzy and Zita

Chapter 4-The reason I'm afraid

Alex's POV

I ate my lunch in silence as I sat by the window in the Home Ec. Room, pouting, cause of the future experiments that Izzy and Law will do on me. 'man, why can't I stay out of trouble for at least a day, seriously? . . . And what was up with Law, saying I'm cute and stuff, probably only teasing me, he can't possibly feel that way. There's no reason pondering over this' I thought with a frown then smirked 'oh, I've got the perfect revenge for him, and Izzy wont get away with jabbing needles in me either'

"What are you smirking about?" Law asked sitting down beside me with his own lunch poking my cheek.

"You're the one to talk, I never see you without one" I said looking at him, he just smirked back and started to eat.

In the second half of lunch as everyone finished eating, we moved to the Medic's clubroom, to take my blood, of course Law had to hold me down cause I was moving and thrashing a lot, and in the end I ended up in his lap as he trapped my right arm to my body with his arms so Izzy could take the blood from my left.

"I suggest you stop moving" Law whispered in my ear, as I was moving around a lot on his lap. As I noticed his erection under my butt, I froze.

"Finally, stay like that!" Izzy hissed at me annoyed, taking my blood and pulling out the needle, oblivious to Law's little problem. I smirked and shuffled around a little bit more on Law, making him harder, and he threw me off of him leaving the room in a hurry.

"Serves him right" I said smirking.

"What's up with him?" Ace asked arms crossed as I shrugged.

"Oh, she knows exactly what Trafalgar's problem was" Izzy said smirking at me knowingly. 'damn you to hell with your dirty mind Izzy' I tough as I stuck my tongue out at her.

Izzy looked at my blood on the microscope jotting things down on a piece of paper. I was testing out my new limbs, and trying to gain control over my tail.

For the rest of lunch Law didn't come back but in class he was there however, and I grinned at him as he smirked back. Other than him playing with my tail and me hissing at him, nothing much happened in the last two of our lessons. We decided to go to my apparent for further tests, and as well as Izzy and Zita, Zoro, Ace, Kid, Sanji, Luffy and Law came as well.

Sanji and Zita went to get ingredients for dinner as Izzy did tests, to see how my ears and tail react, then see if the tiger instincts affect my behaviour.

She lobed a woollen ball at me, and watched what happened.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! I'm not a freaking house cat you bitch!" I shouted as I threw it back at her.

"Well, her temper's the same." she said scribbling on her clipboard, giggling.

"Fuck you, just…fuck you" I said in a mood.

"Ok, lets see how she reacts to animals, Law you have a dog right? Bring it over" Izzy said as Law brought in Loki.

"Loki!" I shouted running up to him, he reacted the same and started to lick my face. Izzy decided nothing has changed and sat down on the couch by Kid, leaving me to play with Loki. Zita and Sanji came back and started to make dinner for everyone.

Izzy's POV

There's nothing seemed to change in her except the ears tail and stripes. 'how will I change her back?' I thought as I leaned back in the couch relaxing a bit.

Everyone shot up at the loud, animal whine and immediately turned to Alex and the dog. But it looks like Alex was the one to make that noise, as she was sitting on the floor clutching her left tiger ear as Loki looked at her guilty.

"What happened?" Sanji and Zita asked as they came out of the kitchen worried.

"Nothing, Loki just bit my ear while we played" Alex said standing up. "It's ok, it wasn't your fault, don't be so hard on yourself" she said to Loki as she patted his head with her free hand.

"Alex, by any chance, do you understand what he is saying?" I asked fascinated as she nodded.

"He says he is sorry and he didn't mean to, just got carries away. He finds my new scent and limbs interesting" she said and went into the bathroom.

"Hey wait, is your ear ok?" I asked as I ran after her. Her ear was bleeding but I fixed it quickly and we went back to the living room. As she sat down on the floor Loki walked up to her and lay down beside her.

Everyone asked her questions and she answered them. Luffy pulled her tail which she let out a tiger growl to, and bit his hand.

"Serves you right, stop messing with my poor little tail, it got abused enough today as it is" she said and glared at Law who smirked back at her, then her phone rang.

"Brother, oh god, how am I gonna explain this to him?" she said her ears sticking back to her head as she walked into her room. We could clearly hear her shouting with her brother about the whole matter. Law chuckled looking in the direction of her room.

"What's so funny Trafalgar?" I asked him as he looked at me.

"Nothing" he said as Alex walked out of her room fuming.

"What got your pants in a twist?" I asked laughing as she sent me a death glare, then looked at Kid, remembering something she ran back to her room, and for a good half an hour didn't come back.

"I think you scared her off Kid" I said giggling beside him.

"No, I think that was you" he said grinning at me.

Luffy ran off into the kitchen as the others chatted amongst themselves. Shortly after Alex came back with her laptop and a wire connected to it and put it down on the low table in front of the couch on the opposite side to us, and went back to her room, only to come out with a clipboard, pen and something black.

She put them on the table and sat down in front of her lap top cross-legged.

"What cha doing?" I asked eyeing her as she plugged a small chip into her laptop.

"You'll see" she said and started to type. Law and Ace moved to either side of her watching her work, Law on her left and Ace on her right.

Not even 15 minutes passed as she pulled the chip out and took the black thin in her hand. Which now I can see is a little bat. She opened up it's stomach and put the chip in closing it again.

"This is Miki, the little thing I've been working on, I finally finished it" she held him up happily.

"Oh yea, you did say something about making a robot" I said remembering as the others eyed the little black thing in awe.

"So does it work?" Kid asked with the curiosity of a child's.

"We'll see, I need to run a few tests before I can say anything" Alex said as she pressed something on her lap top and the little black robot bat came to life, it looked around the room then crawled up to Alex.

"Hello little one, your name is Miki, do you remember your program?" she asked as it nodded. "Good then say something, let us hear your voice"

"A-ALEX" Miki said sounding a lot robotic.

"It's ok get used to your voice, I'm gonna run some test on you to make sure your ok" Alex said as she plugged the wire connecting to the lap top into Miki's back between his shoulder blades.

"Ok, I hope I'm fine, but I'm not worried, your a good mechanic, mother" Miki said now sounding less mechanic.

"Its ok, you don't have to call me that, just Alex is fine" she said taking the clipboard and pen.

"But I want to" Miki said as Alex giggled and nodded.

"Ok, now, try out your body, try to fly" she said as Miki moved his body then extended his winds and started to fly, he hovered a bit then landed back on the table as Alex jotted some notes down.

"Can you see properly?" she asked looking at his amber orange eyes.

"Yes, in colour" Miki replied, Alex asked a few more questions checking her lap top once in a while.

She suddenly stood up and ran to her room, ordering Miki to stay there and don't speak.

Five minutes later she came back with a red little thing and a bleeding finger on her left hand, she sat back down and let Law take care of her finger while she put the little red collar on Miki's neck with her right hand.

"What's that for?" Kid asked trying to hide his fascination.

"It's magnetic, it's to keep Miki stable, all the technology around him is messing with his brain, and now this collar helps him." she answered as she got her hand back from Law.

We ate dinner and Alex called her brother again to tell him about Miki, and this time there was no shouting and she came out of her room smiling with Miki on her shoulder.

"You know, if we fail to make the reverse serum, you'd have to obey that flamingo" I said as Alex sat back down between Law and Ace.

"If that happens then I'll just have to offer him another deal that will get me out of this mess, simples" she said smiling.

"It isn't that easy, he rules the underworld, when you get tangled in his web there is no way out" Ace said as he put his chin on her shoulder looking up at her worried.

"Then I'll just cut the web. Look I believe in you two to turn me back so there's nothing to worry about" she said smiling patting Ace's head.

"But I like you like this, you look cool" Luffy said which earned him a smack on the head from Zita.

"It may be cool but if she doest turn back she's trapped!" Zita snapped at him.

"We'll think about what to do next tomorrow" Alex said yawning and laid her head on the table as Ace sat up straight.

"OK, everyone get your ass's back home, she needs a good rest, there's long day ahead of her tomorrow" I said smirking as everyone stood up.

"Great, more needles" Alex mumbled as we all left.

We all started walking home going separate ways, but Kid was going the same way as I.

"What? You live that way too?" I asked smirking which he returned.

"Yep. Why, don't you like my company?" he asked as he winked at me.

"You took a liking to me big boy? Sorry to say, but I'm not interested." I said smirking and walking ahead of him, but he quickly caught up.

"Then I'll just have to change that wont I?" he asked as we reached our apartment complex and walked in.

"You don't even know me" I said walking up the stairs to the third floor.

"I know that you're a feisty one, and you want me as much as I want you" he whispered in my ear as we got to the end of the staircase and into the hallway.

"Oh rally, and how do you know that?" I asked back.

"I can see it in your eyes" he again whispered as we reached his door, mine being the one two doors down.

"Why don't you confirm it then?" I asked close to his ear as he pulled me into his apartment, locking the door behind him and pushing me up against the wall as he crashed his lips to mine in a heat of passion. As our lips moved together, he traced his tongue on by bottom lip asking for entrance as I quickly gave it to him, opening my mouth as he pushed his tongue in exploring the insides and we fought for dominance with our tongues which he eventually won. He picked me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, he moved me toward what I presume to be his bedroom, not breaking the kiss, he laid me down on his bed, towering over me as we broke apart gasping for air, he moved down my neck kissing, licking and biting all the way down to my collar bone, as I moaned in pleasure.

"You like that huh?" he asked in a low dare I say it sexy voice that just turned me on even more.

"Mmmm, don't stop" I moaned as he nibbled on my neck.

Zita's POV

As we went home I discovered that both Zoro and Sanji live in the same apartment building as me.

"Good night boys" I called to them as I opened my door.

"Night Zita" Zoro said smiling from the door next to mine as I smiled back.

"Good night, Zita-chan" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes from opposite me, but I just glared at him warning him about his behaviour towards me, and walked in locking the door behind me. 'today sure was an event full day, wonder what tomorrow brings?'

Alex's POV

In the morning I met up with Law and went to school together, but with a bit of teasing, him joking about needles, and me about his little problem I caused yesterday.

"I'll get you back for that soon enough" he said smirking.

"Love to see you try" I smirked back as we entered our classroom.

"Izzy…" I said going up to her but stopped as I caught her scent, and it was mixed with Kid's. I smirked at her knowingly and sat down.

"What was that?" she came up to me asking arms crossed.

"Oh nothing. Are you tired? You didn't have much sleep last night did you? Distracted I presume?" I asked smirking as she huffed and smiled as I caught onto what must have went down last night after she and Kid left.

"Don't be too curious" she said sitting down.

"Morning. What's up?" Zita asked as I stood up and whispered in her ear.

'Kid and Izzy did it, and before you ask how I know that, it's her scent, it's mixed with his' I whispered as she smirked.

'I knew it would be a matter of time, they have that spark between them' she whispered back, as we smirked looking at Izzy then at Kid.

"What's their problem?" Kid asked Izzy annoyed.

"Ignore them" Izzy replied leaning back in her chair.

Instead of classes we went to the Medic's clubroom to do more tests and try to solve the DNA puzzle.

Law took samples of my skin, from the normal one and where the stripes are. He said it wasn't like a tattoo at all, but the skin there was naturally like that. He also looked at my tail, properly not just playing with it. Meanwhile Izzy was working on my blood mixing it with chemicals to try and reverse the tiger side of my DNA.

This took them, both period one and two, so now it's break and the others came over.

"Alex, I need some more of your blood" Izzy said as I flinched, my tiger ears sticking down in fear.

"I'm going to the loo, bye" I said and made run for it.

"Oh no you don't" she said as she sprinted after me, only this time I couldn't get out of the room and got trapped. "It's only a needle, fucking get over it already!" she hissed as Law held me down, this time I lay on one of the beds as he sat on my lap to keep my legs from moving and held down my arms with his hand as Izzy took the blood.

"There, done" she said and pulled the needle out, and went back to her experiments.

"Stupid needle" I mumbled frowning. Law got off me and I curled up in a ball, as he sat back down next to me.

"Are you really that afraid of it?" he asked concerned.

"No, I love it" I growled back sarcastically.

"What's the story behind it?" he asked as I turned to my back and looked up at him.

"It's a story that you don't want to know" I said with a sad expression.

"Ok, I wont force you to tell me, but I would like to know, and I hope you do tell" he said getting up and walking back to his work.

'he cares' I thought as I looked at him walk away. 'maybe…maybe I'll tell him…some time' I decided I needed so me air so I left and went up to the roof top as third period started.

Law's POV

"Hey Trafalgar, where's Alex?" Izzy asked as I turned to face her.

"Don't know, must have gone for a walk or something, she looked a bit shaken up" I answered as she looked more annoyed by the second.

"Go and find her" she said as I stood up.

"Look here miss Izzy, you better not order me around cause I'll fucking kill you. You may be her friend and she asked you to make the reverse serum, but as far as I know I'm the president of the Medic club and so you are to listen to what I say and not the other way around. I'm helping you only for her sake so don't push it." I said glaring at her as she stepped back frowning.

"Fine, whatever, but I need her here and cant leave that" she said pointing at her work.

"Just this once, and there wont be a next time" I said coldly, but left to go find Alex.

I looked around, then went up to the rooftop. 'she might be here, its quiet and she looked as if she needed that' I thought opening the door. I found Alex sitting by the edge, by the fence, hugging her knees. As I walk up to her, her left tiger ear twitches.

"It happened when I was 4, that incident" she said as I sat dawn beside her, she made no move to protest so I asked.

"Is that when your fear was triggered?" I asked looking at her, as she nodded, staring up at the sky.

"Me and brother were playing at a park that day, just the two of us, as always" she said closing her eyes.

"What about your parents?" I asked curiosity rising in me.

"Mother died when I was born and father left us shortly after, so I was raised by brother" she said opening her eyes to look back up.

"I'm sorry" I said, I know what it feels like to be left alone.

"On our way home, I spotted a stray dog and ran after it, into a forest, and got separated from Shanks. When I realized, it was too late, he never found me, instead a man with creepy eyes. He took me, saying that he'll help me find my brother" she said sadly "Should never trust strangers, brother always told me. Well, I definitely learned that the hard way. After he took me to his house he locked me up in his basement, and turned out he was a crazy scientist. He did a lot of experiments on me, never cutting my skin, but using needles to inject chemicals in to my body. They always burned and my body felt like it was on fire. That went on for a couple of weeks, until brother found me. The man died from being injected by his own chemicals, and I was free again. From that day on, Shanks likes to keep an eye on me, but I always get into trouble regardless. I'm scared of needles, cause it always reminds me of that incident and I remember the burning feeling in my body and the man with the scary eyes." she finished and hid her face in her knees as to not show that she's upset.

"I'm sorry" I said quietly as I pulled her close and hugged her.

"Don't be, it was my own stupid fault" she whispered hugging me back. 'I can't believe she had to go through such thing at such a young age, no wonder she's terrified'
