Chapter 2

The last bell rang and Luffy quickly ran from the room. Zoro noticed that she walked a little weird. He didn't pay it any thought; it might just be the way that she walks. He was too busy thinking about something else; The trail of blood that he had seen was disturbing him a little. He would ask Sal, his only friend, what to do since that guy almost always knew what was right. He walked out of the classroom and went to kendo practice.

"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?". It was rare for Zoro to want to talk, usually they would spar. Zoro wasn't much of a talker and preferred to communicate using his fists. Zoro told Sal the story of the blood trail and what he thought about it. After discussing this for a long time they came to a conclusion on what the best plan would be. Zoro should have a talk with the new neighbor, and if he was really dangerous they could always call the police.

As Zoro walked home the sun had already started to set. The blood had been cleaned of the sidewalk. To Zoro's surprise, light could be seen through a small window. He's home already? Usually he'd come home a lot later. Well since we planned on this anyways, let's go say hi.

Not too long after he knocked the door opened and Zoro saw no one. He had expected a man and looked straight ahead. He looked down to see right into the surprised big obsidian eyes of his new classmate. He had looked over her head… "Hi, I'm your new neighbor, I have a question for you.". She looked at him while she thought for a couple seconds. "Please wait one second.". She closed the door in his face and after about two minutes the door opened again. "Okay, sure. Come in." She walked back deeper into the apartment and gestured for Zoro to follow. As he walked into her apartment he noticed that the room was exactly the same size as his. One bedroom / living room, one bathroom, and a kitchen. It was the same size as his but this apartment was completely empty except for a futon and some empty plates that were stacked up on the kitchen counter. In the corner of the bedroom there was a backpack. Probably the one she brought to school.

"So.. what do you want to know?" She looked at him and bend her head to the right in an interested manner. He looked at her face. She looked so innocent that he could not imagine that she had anything to do with it, but he decided to ask her about it anyways. "When I went to school this morning I saw a trail of blood leading right up to your front door. Do you know anything about that?" The cheerful smile on her face quickly faded and she looked away. "I don't know anything about it…". She was obviously lying.

That got Zoro a little ticked off. "Don't fucking lie to me. Why was there a trail of blood leding to your house?!" It wasn't his intent to start screaming, but she pissed him off. "It's none of your business!", she replied. "Of course it is my fucking business. I don't want to live next to some kind of dangerous criminal!" In response to his screaming, Luffy's pride played up and she screamed back. "Well, it's none of your business! What I do with my life is my decision! It won't hurt you in any way. Don't you dare lecture me!" She yelled at him and as she stopped he could see a flinch of pain. She turned around and while her back faced him she calmly said: "Get the fuck out of my house…"

Zoro, being the stubborn dude he was, didn't accept this and grabbed ahold of her arm in an attempt to prevent her from walking away from him. She let out a yelp as he touched her. Out of surprise he let go of her. She grabbed her own upper arm with her other arm where he had touched her. The white fabric of her school uniform blouse was beginning to turn red. "Are you wounded?" … "It's none of your business…"

…

…

…

"OF COURSE IT IS MY FUCKING BUSINESS!". Zoro completely lost his cool. He grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her around to face him. "Do you have any bandages in your house?" She looked at him with those big black eyes of hers and softly nodded no. In a quick movement Zoro lifted her up and threw her over his shoulder. Luffy let out another yelp and Zoro could feel her shiver from pain. Quickly he walked out of her room and entered his own room. He gently placed her onto his bed and went into the other room to retrieve some bandages and plasters. When he came back she still laid in the same position as where he left her.

He had figured out where she was wounded and started opening her shirt. The buttons were too small for his temper and in his irritation he ripped the entire shirt open revealing sloppily applied bandages. The bandages were drenched with blood and didn't even cover the entire wound properly. He looked at her in awe and questioned himself, how she could have gone to school with a wound like that. He reached out to the bloody bandages and removed them. "Oi, What the heck did you do. This is serious." He looked at her face and realized that it had become red with embarrassment. Then he looked down a little and realized that when he had torn open her shirt he had revealed her completely. She wasn't wearing a bra. As he realized that, even Zoro became red in the face from embarrassment. "I just messed up a little yesterday. Don't worry about it, It'll heal after a night of good sleep.", she said. Zoro sighed at her resolve and decided that he would just continue to treat her since she obviously couldn't do it herself.

He reached out to the first aid kit and grabbed something to disinfect the wound with and new bandages. After Zoro had cleaned the wound somewhat he started with the bandages. Damn, it's hard to bandage around someone when they're lying down. "Oi, girly, could you please sit up straight? This is kind of hard".

Bandaging people had never been his strongest point but over the years he had managed to learn a little. "There you go, all done.". She looked up at him again. He could see that she had to spend a lot of energy to stay awake. They made eye contact for a second before Luffy softly smiled and closed her eyes. She had lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Zoro leaned back against the wall. It sunk into him that he was sitting on his bed with a barely dressed, defenseless girl, that was peacefully sleeping in his lap. His cheeks became a little rosy but he controlled his embarrassment well.

He had a lot of questions for the girl. What had she done to get wounded like this? How had she gotten involved with dangerous people so quickly? She had only been living here for a week. How had she managed to walk around with this for a whole day without collapsing?

Who was this girl really?

He looked at the small figure that was resting against him. The small frame and small hands, her shiny black hair and her long eyelashes. She slow heaving up and down of her chest. She looked so small and innocent; like an angel.

Nevertheless, he had the idea that this girl would become quite the hassle.
