sorry for any confusion , if you have any questions just ask :)
onto the story.
the two boys ran through the dark forest terrified eyes darting in every direction and chests heaving in exertion , they pushed themselves to run faster when they heard cackling from behind them getting closer , the darkness seemed to press in on all sides so that neither of them could see any thing , so when one of the boys failed to notice the root that stuck out of the ground before it was too late , his foot caught it and he went flying towards the ground with a pained yell , he knew immediately that his ankle was broken by the odd angle it was in.
"come on hurry , get up their right behind us!" begged the older boy above him, he tried to move his ankle but it was to painful.
the boy felt hopeless and useless while he was lying on the ground
"I cant luffy my ankles broken , just leave me and run!" the boy said trying to hold back tears but couldn't stop his voice from cracking .
luffy shook his head "no" he shook harder "NO , I wont leave you koby , ill carry you or , or I can fight ill figh-"
"NO!"koby gripped luffys shirt tight in his fist "no you must not fight them , they will kill you no matter how strong you are! just leave me and run!"
tears fell from luffys eyes and he sobbed as his friend spoke again.
"if you die then this was all for nothing , you must not die , you have to survive!" koby was yelling now and crying too , crying because he knew he was going to die.
"no I can carry you!" luffy pleaded with him.
"I will only slow you down , you must go by your self and you must make it to shanks or one of your brothers , you are already badly wounded you need to be treated as soon as possible!"
luffys hand went to the bandage on his chest which was soaked with blood and more was seeping out by the minute
just as koby was building his courage the both heard a noise that made them freeze in fear . laughter . closer this time.
luffy turned back to koby to find his eyes hardened with determination.
"go" he said it so softly but so sternly.
luffy shook his head and opened his mouth again about to say something.
"GO! or I will kill you my self!" koby yelled at the older boy who flinched having never heard such steel in his friends voice until now.
he slowly rose but his body trembled with the effort and he turned around and started to walk away but stopped and said two words as the tears poured down his face but they were hidden from the world by his dark locks that shadowed his eyes.
"gomena koby!" at that he sobbed and ran into the forest away from his doomed friend , knowing that if he looked back he wouldn't be able to leave his friend whom he had know almost all his life , he felt utterly useless because he couldn't save his friend , if only he had been stronger then maybe he could of saved his friends maybe he could have avoided this nightmare , but no he had to be weak.
koby shivered as he saw his friend disappear into the dark ,knowing that he would never get to see him again , he hoped he was alone , it would be better that way but it seemed that the universe was conspiring against him and he heard footsteps from behind him he slowly turned towards the sound and watchedd a seven shadows emerged from the dark . six men and one woman.
a tall man wearing a top hat walked up to him and bent down slowly looking him straight in the eye , and koby froze this man had the coldest eyes in the world and right now they were focused on him.
the tall man narrowed his eyes at him " where is he , scum?" he growled in a low threatening voice that could make the strongest of men cry and run away , but koby stayed silent.
the mans cold eyes flashed with anger at being ignored and he curled his clawed fingers around the boys neck and lifted him so that his feet were dangling above the ground , he dug his nails in and squeezed painfully , " I said where is he?!" he hissed loudly clenching his fingers again and making the young boy gasp in pain, lucci liked to put people through pain it seemed.
"careful now , we don't want to kill him ... yet." came a silky voice from the women , kalifa was her name " we want to have a little fun before we kill him don't we?" she inquired teasingly.
"chapapa , that sounds like a great idea!" came the scratchy voice of a stout round man with a zip for a mouth.
"yoiyoiyoi , indeed it does fukoru , what do you think kaku?" said a loud tall man with long pink hair and a shakujo staff.
A long square nose man mused over this then a wide smile spread across his face " hmm it would be nice , I was getting quite bored!" he chuckled quietly towards kumadori.
a man with a long pony tail frowned at this "what are you talking about the funnest bit is the chase!" he fumed , Jabra had always liked the hunt , it exited him.
"if you say so." the long nosed one sighed.
lucci scowled at his teams conversation " we will be doing no such things . we will get information out of this brat , kill him , find the other on and then kill him as well . and even if we don't get information we will still kill him and eventually catch the other little brat."
kalifa pouted in disappointment " your no fun!"
lucci shrugged off the insult and turned back to the boy struggling in his grasp , trembling from hearing what the demons had said.
" I will ask you one more time." lucci growled lowly in the boys ear "where is the boy?"
koby shuddered then hardened his eyes and looked at lucci with determination " I - I don't c care if you kill you I w -will never tell you where he is! " koby grinned triumphantly at saying this to the demon.
lucci raised his brow , amused at his courage "what a pity , very well " he drawled bordly and flicked his wrist snapping the boys neck and killing him instantly , the smile fell from kobys lips as the light left his eyes and his life escaped him. lucci threw him to the ground like a rag doll and turned to the last member of the group.
"blueno , its about time we went back to head quarters." he stated addressing the burly man with the horn hairstyle.
blueno nodded slightly and stepped forward holding out his hand and a door formed in front of it out of thin air, he opened is and stepped through shortly followed by the others.
lucci was the last one to go through the air door but stopped having heard a small sound , his cat like eyes scanned the dense forest slowly but could not find the cause of the sound , he turned and swiftly stepped through after the others.
onece the door finally slid shut luffy fell to his knees , his body wracked by powerful sobs he threw his head back and screamed in agony at the terrible ache in his heart , his scream echoed though out the forest causing birds to take flight and small animals cower in fear. but he also woke something that was not meant to be awake.
the boy fell back once his howls of pain had stopped and just lay there for a while looking at nothing , after who know how long he stood up feeling numb from sadness and started walking in a random direction , not seeing , not hearing and not feeling any thing and that was good because if he felt anything he was going cry again.
after walking for what felt like hours the boy fell to the floor with a thump and slowly turned around to lay on his back , he stared at the sky and felt the ache in his chest but this time it wasn't sadness , that was still there but this pain came from the wound from his chest , it had opened up again and he faintly recalled some one say that if that happened again he would die. He knew this but he did not have the strength to move even his eyes , so he gave up and welcomed what he thought was death , but not before he heard the faint foot steps of something approaching , but just then he couldn't bring himself to care , he was just so... tired , that was the last thing that passed through his head before he fell in to the welcoming darkness.
zoro walked towards where he thought the scream had come from and planned on gutting whom ever had made the horrible racket and disturbed his nap , zoro dawdled through the clearing but stopped when he saw the dead body on the ground , his hand automatically went to his swords and his eyes roamed the field suspiciously but found nothing out of the ordinary , he sceptically approached the body and bent over it examining it , the kill was fresh only a few hours old at most , but it hadn't been him who had screamed , no the pinkette would have had no time to scream , his neck was snapped he would have died instantly.
the scream zoro had heard had been filled with agony and sadness , so there was another...
zoro looked up and peered through forest for any signs of life but there was none , he frowned and inhaled deeply but immediately coughed loudly and sneezed . this place was filled with demon stench , about seven of them maybe eight , they were probably the ones who killed the boy. zoro inhaled again ignoring the smell of the demons and went deeper catching a very interesting smell , one not quite human but not demon either , he frowned , how intriguing. he smiled then as excitement filled him , he decided he was going to follow this smell and find what it belonged to.
as zoro took off in a run adrenaline filled his veins making his in self want to come out and play but he just scowled and pushed it down again as he jumped over a fallen tree and ran through a field much too fast to be humanly possible , he stopped suddenly smelling something else near the thing he wanted, he growled softly and flitted to where the smell was strongest and burst through a group of trees into a clearing to sea a hideous demon that looked to be half scorpion half human with a bit of snake mixed in there , along its back were deadly looking spikes which oozed acid along with its massive tail tipped with a spear head of toxic venom , it had its slavering jaws above a small human boy and was about to bite down when zoro felt a wave of pure fury towards the disgusting creature and drew all of his swords placing them in their rightful places and charged the beast transforming as he did into asura, two arms became six and one head became three and his three deadly swords became nine even more deadly with the unholy fire that was raging on each blade , he roared as he attacked the creature which had finally noticed him and hissed in pain as two blades found their mark creating two large gashes which sizzled and bubbled into the demons flesh. the enraged demon screeched and flung blindly at asura never even landing a hit , the thing backed away slowly and glared at asura it then bent down and fired its spikes at him , asura didn't expect this and his eyes widened as he dodged just in time , one spike however just grazed him and the torn flesh began to sting and expand asura scowled at his arm and intensified his flames which healed the broken flesh. Asura turned back to his prey finding it shaking slightly finally having realised he could not defeat this opponent , the demon stepped backwards then turn tail and ran but asura wasn't going to let him go that easily , he disappeared and then reappeared right in front of the demon making its eyes widen comically before they went dull as asura impaled it with all nine swords then swept them outwards tearing the demon apart. as the blood rained down on him his arms and heads went back to normal and the adrenaline slowly faded he breathed out deeply and turned back to the boy.
as he slowly padded up to the boy he noted how young he looked only at most seventeen and how damaged he was , there were to many scratches , bruises and scars to count . the boy had long spiky black hair that framed his face and a small crescent shaped scar under his left eye , which were brown an-wait his eyes were brown? he looked again and his eyes widened slightly as he saw the boy watching him silently .
the boy opened his mouth as if to speak but then frowned up at zoro and closed his mouth again a confused look upon his face.
zoro raised an eyebrow in question at the boy.
this time the boy did speak "who are you?"
zoro frowned "roronoa zoro " he stated simply.
this time the boys expression darkened " are you going to try and kill me as well?" he looked into zoros eyes looking for the answer.
"no"
the boys face broke into a massive toothy grin then which surprised zoro to no end "Good , i'm Monkey D. Luffy by the way !" the boy , luffy stated happily.
zoro was shocked not only did it look like this boy just went through hell but he was also a D.
as zoro looked at the boy he couldn't help but be surprised at how happy he was , was it just because he had said he wasn't going to kill him? for all this boy knew he could have been lying , he was far to trusting.
the boy yawned loudly and blinked blearily at zoro before he fell asleep , snoring lightly .
zoro blinked comically.
"his asleep?" he asked him self.
as it seemed the boy was gone to the world zoro continued to study him and noticed a shaggy well worn straw hat laying next to the boy , he was wearing denim shorts and a bright red vest that was open , you would have thought that he looked weak until you looked closer and saw his toned arms and well built abs.
looking at the boys chest zoros eyes widened , wrapped around him was layer upon layer of bandages but even so they were soaked with blood . kneeling down next to him zoro took one sword out and cut the bandages cleanly before slowly peeling them away what he saw made him jerk back in surprise , right in the middle of the boys chest was a gaping hole at least as big at his fist and it was a least four inches deep it also had burn marks surrounding it, looking further zoro noted that several of his ribs were broken or cracked. How could this scrawny boy have survived so long with these wounds it was more than impossible!
zoro warred with himself stuck between leaving the boy here to die in peace or trying to save him. zoro frowned for the hundredth time since meeting the boy , he had never wanted to save anyone else before , so what mad this boy so different?
the green haired demon stood up and just simply frowned down at the teen for a few minutes before finally deciding (if a little begrudgingly) to save the boy.
he bent down and lifted the strange boy into his arms (not even bothered by his weight) before walking off into the direction he thought the only person he could friend in this whole forest lived , he was going to meet a certain furry little doctor.
