Arra

Chapter: 2

Hiya everybody. Well here's chapter two. I hope you like it. Please review!

Sunset. Arra liked sunsets. The colors left over from the day fading away into darkness. It was quiet and peaceful. At least until Zoro and Sanji started fighting.

"Hey Marimo-chan your fat ass is on my lighter. Move it."

"I'm not moving anything ero-cook. You'll just have to wait until I feel like getting up. Unless you're the perverted fag I always knew you were."

"What the hell? I'll kill you!" Sanji yelled as he started getting up.

"Bring it on Blondie." Zoro rose too, drawing out only one of his swords.

Sanji started by kicking at Zoro's head. Zoro ducked and went after Sanji with his sword. Arra watched the fight silently. I wonder why they're always fighting. They act like they're married. A picture of Sanji in a tux and Zoro in a wedding dress flashed through her mind's eye. She giggled at her own joke.

The fight went on until Nami came up from below deck and smacked them both in the head. Zoro sat back down only because he was drunk and Nami just gave him a headache. Sanji sat down because Nami told him too. God, he's like a puppy. Arra thought, oh well, what he lacks in rebellion he makes up for in looks.

After a while the sun plummeted behind the horizon and it was completely dark. Everyone made their way to their rooms. Arra slid into bed and fell asleep.

Arra was standing alone on deck.

"You are worthless." Said a voice from behind her. She turned slowly. It was Sutol, her father.

"You are worthless," He repeated, "Only until you complete the prophecy, you are worthless. Dwahawk will have what he desires."

Arra was filled with anger. She looked down to find that she was holding a dagger. She knew just what to do with it.

She ran forward and plunged the dagger into Sutol's chest. Into his heart. Only after she did this she realized that this wasn't Sutol anymore. It was Sanji. The anger turned cold and she was instead filled with sorrow.

Sanji fell to the ground. She sat by him. Her eyes wide. Her heart heavy.

"Why?" He asked, "I thought I was your friend."

"You are." She sobbed.

"Then why?" He asked again, but before she could answer his life left him. Arra cried over his body.

"You killed him." Luffy said from behind her.

"He was your friend, and you killed him." Nami whispered.

"We let you come with us and this is how you repay us?" asked Zoro.

"You're evil." Usopp hissed.

Before she knew what she was doing, she had found herself clutching more daggers. She threw them at everyone, except Luffy, and everyone died. Except Luffy.

"Now everyone is dead. It's all your fault. You truly are evil. You do belong to Dwahawk. I'm going to kill you." He hissed.

"Not if I kill you first." She had one dagger left. She tackled Luffy to the ground. She raised the weapon high above her head and…

Woke up. She looked around. She was still in her room. She was shaking and sweating and crying. She felt so dizzy. Her dream was so real. She sat up and pulled her knees into her chest. She was so scared. So lonely. Not anymore, she thought, I have friends now. I won't kill them. I'd kill myself before I kill them.

She calmed herself down and went back to sleep.

The next morning was very hot. The guys left their shirts off and Nami and Robin wore bikinis. Arra wore what she usually wore. Long black pants and a black tank top.

Everyone stared at her in disbelief as she came up to the deck.

"What?" she asked. She honestly didn't know.

"I can't believe that you are wearing black in this heat. You must be burning up." Zoro said.

"I'm fine. Really." Arra replied. She just sat down and pulled out a stick.

"What's that?" Nami asked.

"My favorite weapon." Arra replied. The stick was very wide, about four feet long. When Arra pushed some hidden button, two three foot blades slid out of the ends and locked in place. A very deadly staff-like weapon.

"Cool."

Arra started to sharpen the blades.

"SHIP!" Usopp hollered, "OFF THE STARBOARD BOW!"

Everyone got up to see.

"It's a pirate ship. Good, we could use some more gold." Zoro stated.

So everyone prepared themselves for a fight. When the ship grew near Luffy rocketed over using his Gumo Gumo no slingshot. While the pirates were distracted by Luffy's insane devil fruit powers. Zoro pulled the Merry Go right up next to the other ship and everybody boarded. Except for Usopp, who would be helping via sniper fire, and Chopper.

It was like every other fight. Sanji kicked people so hard that some would actually die. Nami went below deck to see if there was anything worth stealing. Zoro boarded the ship and used his three sword technique. Luffy fought with his Gumo Gumo no powers. Robin fought with her Han-Han fruit powers. And Arra fought with her double bladed staff.

The fight was going well. The Straw hats were winning. Everything was great until things started going wrong.

One of the guys happened to rid Arra of her staff. So she started using her fists. Unfortunately, the odds were against her. It didn't take long before a sword was pressed against her neck.

Shit. She thought. The guy laughed at her and threatened to slice her throat. There was only one thing she could do. Use her most dangerous weapon.

"So?" she asked, "You think this is funny huh?"

"Well, I am about to kill some snot nosed bitch because she thought she could tango with real pirates. Yeah this is pretty funny." He replied.

"Well," she said, "You won't be laughing when I show you this."

She held up her hand. It was on fire. The guy didn't even have time to gasp before she slammed her hand into his face and burned it right off. She pushed the screaming man into the water.

She ignited her other hand and went to help her friends.

"Holy shit Arra, why didn't you tell us that you had the powers of the flare-flare fruit?" Sanji asked at dinner that night. Arra looked down into her plate. She hadn't looked anyone in the eye since the fight.

"I don't know. I guess it just slipped my mind." She replied.

"How the hell do you forget something like that?" Zoro muttered. A fire flared in her eyes.

"I don't like these powers. To me they are a curse. A symbol that represents something terrible. Now, if you'd excuse me, I'm not hungry." She said angrily. She stood up and headed for her room.

"Good going Marimo-chan, you made her angry." Sanji yelled at Zoro.

"How the hell was I supposed to know!" He shouted back. Nami slapped them both.

"Shut up you two. She obviously didn't want us to know for a reason. We hardly know anything about this girl. Arguing won't change that. But a little investigation will.

Arra sat alone on the ships head. The cool night wind blew her white hair away from her face. She needed to be more careful. One of her secrets had come spilling out. She had to make sure that no more weaseled their way out too. It could mean certain death. She couldn't take another death in her life.
