One piece
The forgotten
Chapter 2
She had been on this ship for two months already. She had to admit they had grown on her...and she hated to admit it but they were fun...she was kinda growing to lov- she clutched her chest in pain and fell to the ground 'Fuck' she looked to see if anyone had noticed not seeing anyone she went to her room and sat on the bed. However someone did notice, Zoro noticed everything about Rouge. He trusted her now too and her bouts of pain seemed to get worse. He walked into the kitchen where everyone was eating sitting down in his spot
"Wheres Rouge Zoro?"
Luffy asked smiling
"I think theres something wrong shes hiding something..."
Nami rolled her eyes
"Not this again! Shes gained our trust and has helped save us numerous ti-"
Zoro growled
"I do trust her but she always doubles over in pain when deep in thought and she hasn't been looking to good lately..."
Robin smiled mysteriously
"So you seem to be watching her an awful lot..."
Nami smiled wickedly
"yeah and you two are always together..."
Zoro scoffed
"i just don't want her to get hurt and have the captain upset"
Sanji light a cigarrette
"Yeah Rouge-san would never go for the baka swordsman!"
Zoro glared at him
"What was that shitty cook!?"
Sanji smirked
"Oh just that you couldn't get a girl if your life depended on it..."
Zoro stood knocking his chair back getting his swords ready when the door opened revealing rouge who smiled lightly.
"hey what did I miss?"
Chopper looked at her worriedly but she didn't seem to notice. She made her way to her seat and gracefully sat down and ate her food looking up she noticed everyone watching her.
"What?"
Luffy broke the silence by reaching over to her plate she swiftly caught his arm
"What it I tell you about taking my meat monkey man!"
She grabbed him smiling evil and gave him a noogy
"I'm soooorry Rouge san!! it won't happen again promise let me go!"
she let him go and schooled her face everyone still seemed to quiet she quirked a brow
"ok Whats going on..."
They look nervous
"Are you ok Rouge?"
Chopper asked in a small voice. She turned to him and smiled gently. 'When did I start smiling like this'
"What made you think that i'm not...? I'm a little ill because Ussop tells to many lame stories..."
Choppers eyes widened at Ussop who looked at rouge shocked She grinned evilly.
"not true chopper!!"
Chopper frowned
"i want to do a check up at least"
Rouge flinched. Zoro never took his eyes off her
"Chopper thats quite alright"
Zoro smirked
"Hey luffy don't you think Rouge should have a check up?"
Luffy smiled
"yup!"
Zoro looked at her
"captains orders"
She glared at him. 'I hate infirmarys and needles...' oh well the shocker is undetectable' She nodded at chopper who had her follow him to the infirmary He gave her check up and noticed an adnormal beating with her heart...
"you seem to have a heart problem"
He said frowning
"i don't have any medications for it so you just have to be careful not to get stressed"
Rouge nodded 'so it is having an effect... She smiled as he left the room saying he was going back into the kitchen to tell the others. She sighed walking up to the deck and staring at the night sky. She heard the crew go to their bunks except one. She rolled her eyes
"you know if you don't leave me alone people might think you like me..."
She could practically see the blush rising to his cheeks. He coughed. Turning around she faced him...'he's so cute' she thought fondly wanting to touch his hair her hand went to her heart that ached a little
"It's not just a heart condition is it?"
He said walking to stand next to her. She glared at him
"Worried?"
Zoro snorted
"not in the least"
Their eyes met she could tell he was worried...someone was actually worried for her it still surprised her that he cared so much hell after all the talks they had had about life in general...she wouldn't be surprised if he liked her liked her. She broke eye contact and looked at her feet a strand of hair falling in her face.
"i wish I could be with you and the crew forever...you guys make me feel safe...it feels like home."
He don't know what possesed him but he put the strand of hair behind her ear she turned to face him and closed her eyes. The feeling of his hand on her cheek...it felt nice...she sighed. 'he's so quiet yet you know what he's thinking and he thinks hes so tough but...he's the biggest softy I know..' He saw her face soften and smiled she was pretty but so stubborn she had this damn wall around her heart that made it so hard to get close and when she fought she looked to have no feeling or remorse...or regret for the people she'd hurt she made it look like second nature. Opening her eyes which actually showed emotion, she looked at him moving her face closer 'What the hell am I doing!' was what her brain was saying but her body wouldn't do what she wanted....He moved in closer their lips inches apart all of a sudden pain like she had never felt before tore at her heart and what felt like her body falling she let out a sob
"Dammit!"
She sad her fist punch the grass of the deck. She felt Zoro kneel beside her. She never thought she would see the day but he was shaking. She put her mask back and place and made her self feel nothing. She looked up at him
"You should see the look on your face right now"
she said coldly. He returned the cold look and stopped shaking.
"At least i'm not the pathetic one on the ground right now..."
She laughed coldly. Trying to tell her self that this was for the best...
"Your right I am pretty pathetic..."
He scoffed standing up a looked down at her hatefully 'yeah hate me it will be so much better for you better not to love the monster who is leading your crew strait into a trap...' he turned and walked away angrily. She made him so furious! He walked into his room and slammed the door. Rouge sighed pathetically and closed her eyes leaning her forehead against the grass of the deck knowing what she had to do before the end of the month tomorrow...going to her room she wrote a letter explaining everything. 'I hope they forgive a nothing like me...I wish I could have helped him become pirate king...and I wish I could have helped zoro become the greatest swords man and helped everyone fulfil they're dreams...' She set the letter down on her night stand and went to sleep.
I'n the morning they all sat at breakfast eating happily
"So we are almost to another island!"
Rouges head shot up... 'Already!? I wanted a little more time...'
"you look so surprised! It's called hikimori..."
'no...' Rouge thought standing up knocking her chair over.
"Whats wrong Rouge?"
Sanji asked looking concerned. She shook her head looking at all of them her heart beating faster 'I didn't know it would be this hard to tell them...'
"Calm down Rouge I told you not to get stressed..."
Chopper said worried.
"You can't go to that island!"
Zoro glared at her. 'ugh that hurts even more' She thought as pain started building up
"Why not?"
She looked to Zoro
"Because-"
She fell. Chopper screamed
"DOCTOR WE NEED A DOCTOR!"
through her pain she giggled
"Chopper you.."
She panted
"You are ...the ..doctor..."
Chopper eyes lit up
"Oh! Whats wrong Rouge?"
She held a hand up to silence him
"I-it's a trap-"
The pain built up more she sobbed. Ussops confused face made her hurt more and not cause of the shocking system... she felt bad he would be in a horrible situation
"I w-was hired...I'm an assassin"
They crew moved away from her except for luffy
"LIAR!"
the captain said angrily she shook her head
"No monkey man I was h-hired to s-spy o-on you..."
She clutched at her chest gasping for air. She looked at Zoro and wished she hadn't closing her eyes against the hurt face she saw...
"L-letter in my n-nights-stand e-explaining"
She somehow got that out before curling into a ball. Nami was furious
"You lied to us?! After all we've been through?!"
Rouge just nodded
"Just run"
with that she passed out. The crew was still confused as to what was going on they knew they had been betrayed. Chopper still concerned walked up to her still form.
"shes barely breathing..."
Luffy's hat covered his face
"Nami go get the letter..."
She ran and brought it back opened and started reading.
Dear Strawhats,
If your reading this the shocksystem has more than likely taken effect because of my telling you the plan...This might be confusing but i'll try to explain the shock system... When The basterd found me he brought me to the marines scientific research team..i still don't know why to this day...i was raised to be a weapon I was molded to be an assassin.
The island I was on (which you had visited) Was a technologically advanced island. They have these chips to control prisoners and slaves from disobeying orders...once the order is programed it makes a shocking pain appear in parts of the body the more severe the order the more severe the punishment... I have had two orders since having this chip... the first was to not love...the more love felt the more painful...
second gain the strawhats trust and after three months get them to hikimori island...Well I just couldn't do hat could I? I mean I actually found people who didn't care I was cold hearted and I love you guys...i didn't know it could be so painful though but Bastard said it was...but what can ya do you know? I guess for a nothing like me it's supposed to be painful...
Luffy i'm sorry I didn't live up to the wonderful name you gave me...and Ussop you really are a great warrior of the sea...Zoro your already the greatest swordsman I know...Nami...well good luck ;) robin franky and sanji your dreams will definitely come true and lastly chopper...thanks so much little guy...your deff. The greatest doctor I know... I had a lot of fun...and you melted this ice cold heartless monster...if you can do that you can do anything...now onto the last order of buisness...in order to keep you even safer leave my body on the shore of hikimori...the marines will want their property back but only when you don't see anyone on the island...ok?
Love,
Lemon/Rouge
Ussop and chopper were crying while the rest had solemn looks Zoro looked at Luffy
"What do we do captain?"
Luffy kneeled and stared at Rouge. Ussop looked enraged
"What do you think we do?! Do you even have to ask?!"
Luffy shrugged.
"it's up to Zoro"
Zoro looked confused
"Why?"
He whispered sadly
"You were closer to her than any of us. I do know we are going to that island..."
Zoro glared at luffy for the first time
"To give the marines their "poperty" back? Are you serious?!"
Luffy shrugged
"It's what she wanted"
The straw hats looked back and forth between the two. Zoro scoffed
"and since when have you done what anyone has wanted?"
The straw hat boy looked up glaring back
"Since it could endanger our entire crew!"
They look shocked at luffy what was he trying to do? Zoro stood up knocking the bench back
"What did you say?!"
Luffy stood up
"You heard me! You are the one who doesn't care about her right? Your not worried right?! So why not just give her to them so the rest of the crew can live?!"
Robins eyes widened in understanding...he was trying to get the swordsman to admit that he might actually love her...he wants the whole crew to agree with saving a nakama no matter whats they have done wrong...Ussop was starting to get mad at Luffy too and was about to scream back when Sanji punched Luffy in the face. Zoro ran and picked him up holding him by his shirt collar in the air.
"What do you mean I don't care!"
Luffy scowled
"You know exactly what I mean! You were thinking about giving her to them anyways! So why not just do it!"
He threw the straw hat boy to the ground
"Because I love her!"
He snarled kicking the table in making franky pissed 'ill have to fix that ...wait a minute did he just say?' Luffy let a little grin come to his face.
"I don't know why either shes annoying and cruel and a huge bitch! But I can't just give her to them..."
Ussop nodded his agreement
"He's right!"
They looked at Ussop in shock Could he?? Ussops eyes widened and he waved his hands frantically
"No not like that shes our nakama no matter what shes done!"
They all nodded in agreement Luffy stood and brushed himself off Smiling Zoro glared at him
"You did that on purpose!"
Straw hat smiled
"Shi shi shi shi"
He looked to chopper
"please get our first mates wife to the infirmary!"
Zoro glared at him
"shes not my wife!"
Luffy cocked his head
"but isn't a wife someone you say I love you too?"
The crew sighed an exasperated sigh and left the room leaving a confused luffy behind...
Well this story is almost over ...wow
