Chapter 6

"We aren't really sisters. We've got no blood relations."

"You're not our real mother. Actually, you don't want us here at all, right?"

"If I was to be adopted, then I'd rather have been taken in by a rich family"

No. Stop. You don't mean that. Take it back! Apologize to Bellemere! All of a sudden, the scene changed into the front of the house.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in. The doors open." I watched as the scene plays on, unable to take my eyes off of it no matter how much I detest it.

" Futile. Futile. Futile. The futility of your pathetic human race." I knew this was the part where I heard Bellemere scream from the back of the house. I swallowed the lump on my throat as my hatred towards Arlong boiled at the sight of him stepping all his strength on my mother's arm.

"Hold up! Who said that was my share? That 100,000 beri is for my two daughters. I'm short on mine. I can't deny I don't have a family, even if it means sacrificing my life." My adopted mother looked at the fishman straight in the eyes. "We may not be blood related but we're still a family."

I cried as I looked at the event taking place in front of me, replaying again and again in my dreams. The pivoting moment where I knew, everyone knew that Bellemere was going to die.

"Bellemere! That's a lie! I was lying."

I looked at the side of the house where my young self ran up with Nojiko to Bellemeres embrace. Her bruised purple arm hugged us as we all cried. I looked in the distance and saw Genzo and the villagers coming to help us but it was no use. Fishmen were 10times stronger than humans. Blood was spilt.

"You'll die for your pathetic love!" He sneered holding up the barrel of a gun in front of the woman.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

"Nojiko! Nami!" The woman looked at her two daughter.

"DON'T DIE!" my younger self screamed. I know that this is just a dream but it still feels so real. The suffering I had to go through made me cry even harder.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and smiled. "I love you."

No I don't want to go through this again. Dream or not. I don't want to see it. Stop. Don't let me see it.

BANG!

NO! BELLEMERE!

The woman's eyes snapped wide open. She was sweating profusely and her heart was beating frantically. She touched her face and felt it wet. She quickly wiped it off. It has been ages since she had that dream. She will never forget that in all her life. Her hand went over her chest. Calm down Nami, calm down. She told herself.

She sighed. She looked to her side and saw something green. She blinked and rubbed her eyes. It looked like a head. Is that?...Omg!

'KYAAAAAA!' She screamed while kicking and punching the person beside her. She kicked it so hard, the body fell on the floor. EEEE! Did I just sleep with a dead person? She cringed.

She stood up and jumped up and down while patting herself, ridding off whatever creepy stuff she got in the bed.

UGH. "UGH."

She stood completely still. She was sure she said that in her head and not out loud.

Yeah, I know that, baka! Her inner conscious scoffed.

Well then who said that? She questioned herself.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood on its end, she craned her neck ever so slowly towards the noise. She crept up on the bed like a cat and looked down the other side of the bed where the body fell. Her chocolate eyes met with a black one. Both eyes widened in shock.

"GAAAHHH!" "KYYYAAAA!"

They both jumped up, standing on their side of the bed.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" They both shouted.

"What do you mean who are you?! How did you get inside? GUARDS!" Prince Zoro shouted back.

"What are you talking about?! This castle is abandoned! Anyway, I didn't know someone lives here! Much less, sleep in the same bed as me!" She exclaimed.

"You've got to be kidding me!" He rolled his eyes. "YOU slept in the same bed as ME! THIS is MY bed! YOU don't live here! I do! " He barked, emphasising on the pronoun.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." She replied in a monotonic voice, waving her hand in the air dismissively, looking away from him and walking towards the window. It's still pouring down.

Prince Zoro's vein popped out in anger. He was shocked at this woman in front of him. The attitude! I had never seen a woman act so rudely, especially to me! A Prince! Women drool when they see me! He walked to her. Her back was facing him and she could feel him walking towards her. He grabbed one of her shoulder, shocked that it felt hot but paid no mind to it. There were more important things to do, like teaching her a lesson.

"Oi, that attitude just..now.." His voice trailed off, never finishing his sentence as his eyes strayed from the woman in front of him to the window behind her. "What the hell?!" Saying to no one in particular.

"What?" She asked, looking behind her to see what got his attention.

Prince Zoro who could see the cityscape from his window was nowhere to be seen. He was confused. Very confused.

"Oi! Marimo, what the hell are you looking at?" She asked again after getting no answer.

Prince Zoro snapped his head to her. "What did you just say?" He asked in a low voice.

"What? I'm just asking what you were looking at. There's nothing out there except trees and trees so I just wondered what was so interesting." She pointed out.

"No...before that..." He growled.

She pondered, eyebrows knitted together in wonder. "OHHH! You mean Marimo?"

Another one of his vein popped out. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He raged. He hated that nickname. That stupid cook of his always called him that. He expected the woman to argue back except she didn't. She tried to suppress her giggling but ended up bursting into laughter. Prince Zoro's face flushed red of embarrassment. He had never been more humiliated like this before. Yes, the cook calls him that but it's different when a girl says it. His reaction only made her laugh even harder. She was clutching her stomach and slapping the floor with her hand.

"ohhh..I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to laugh at you.." She snickered.

"Ahh.. I've never laughed like that in ages!" She proclaimed after her laughter finally died down. Nami faced the man while wiping the tears that formed around her eyes. It was weird because just a while ago, she was crying for something different. To think that this time, her tears would be of laughter. Her smile dropped as the man before her emitted an evil aura.

If he thinks I'm backing down, he's got another thing coming. Nami emitted an evil aura herself that rivals that of Prince Zoro.

"Lighten up. It's the truth anyway. Your hair is green like a Marimo."

But that statement did nothing to lessen the anger within the Prince, it only furthered on his annoyance at the nickname. He cracked his knuckles and walked slowly towards Nami with an evil smirk on his face. As a reflex, the girl stepped back, not liking the mischievous look on the man. She would have liked it if it was the other way around but not when she is on the receiving end.

"Ohh.. you'll regret calling me that soon.." He chuckled, taking a few more steps towards her.

Nami reached for her Clima-tact and assembled it. She placed it in front of her to keep the distance between them. "Stop. Don't come near me." She commanded , that action was futile as Zoro grabbed it, taking Nami's hold off of it, and throwing it on the other side of the room.

Crap!

Without her weapon, the only reasonable thing to do was to run. I really don't want to see what he's going to do to me! But if I run, how am I gonna get my Clima-tact back? Argh! I'll come back for it when he goes to sleep! Having reached a decision, Nami bolted to the door. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side as she suddenly had a massive headache making her vision blurry. She couldn't tell which one was the real door handle as she could see 3 handles swaying. She shut her eyes hard to clear her vision but it only made some dark spots to appear. Too focused on the door handles, she was too late to notice a shadow looming over her.

CRAP! She thought once more. Prince Zoro smirked and wrapped his arm around her neck while his other hand came down on her head, screwing it down. Nami was shocked to see a tanned muscular arm wrapped around her neck. For a moment, she liked it UNTIL she felt a painful feeling coming down her head. Is..Is he giving me a noogie?! Nami squirmed, trying to get off the hold but he was too strong.

"ARGH! GET OFF ME!"

Prince Zoro laughed at her misery. After screwing down a couple more times, he detached himself away from her, feeling satisfied at the girls suffering. Nami straightened up and looked at him with one of her deadly glare. Her hair was all over the place, probably all tangled up.

"THAT HURTS YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY HAIR?! YOU STUPID MARIMO!" She yelled with rage. Her face was flashed red in anger. Her head was hurting like hell before he noogied her and now it was even worse. Even so, she just couldn't let him off because of some headache. She wanted to annoy the hell out of him. "MARIMO! MARIMO! MARIMO!" she shouted. Zoro's eye twitched at the sound of his nickname leaving the woman's mouth. "MARIMO! MARI-ugh.." He looked over at her. She was leaning on the door, clutching her head and could hear her breathing in short breaths as if she was gasping for air.

"Oi, are you okay?" His anger dissipated at the sight of the girl. She looked liked she was in agony. Looking at her more closely, he noticed that she was very pale and her forehead was beaded with sweat. He felt guilty for hurting her when she was in this state. He looked down at her and saw she had a pained expression, her hand clutching her arm. It was then he noticed the poorly bandaged arm that was now covered in blood. He felt even guiltier when he saw blood dripping down her arm. "OI! What the hell happened to you?!"

He stood in front of her, holding onto her to keep her steady. She didn't know why he was helping her. She embarrassed him and annoyed the hell out of him. There was no reason for him to help her. It's not like she needed help anyway. She was fine.

"I'm fine. I can take care of myself."

"Stop being stubborn. You're not feeling good. Just let me take care of you." He said sincerely.

"No way. Who knows what you're gonna do to my body.." She whispered.

It took Prince Zoro alot of will power to not drop her body on the floor. He sighed. "I won't. I promise."

No matter how stubborn Nami was, she could no longer keep her eyes open. It was slowly drifting to a close. "fine.." she mumbled before falling deep into sleep, right in Prince Zoro's arms. He felt a blush forming on his face while he carried the red-headed girl to his bed bridal style. This feels so wrong...It totally looks like I'm taking advantage of her... He stomped down any future thoughts that formed on his mind and instead focused on getting the bandage off of her arm. He was shocked at the big gash. He didn't think he should treat it, it looked serious.

He went to the door and shouted for his doctor. "CHOPPER! GET OVER HERE!" He narrowed his eye as the doctor didn't appear after waiting for a few minutes. What the hell is going on? The castle is too quiet...

Seeing as his doctor wasn't coming, he went back to the woman who was shivering on the bed. Oh shit! He grabbed a bundle of blankets and put it over her, leaving the injured arm open so he could at least clean it to avoid infection. He went to his bathroom and filled a bowl with water. On his way to the bed, he grabbed 2 cloths and bandages. He dipped the first cloth in water and wrung out any water, folding it and placing it on the girl's forehead. The other cloth was used to clean her bloodied arm. His eyes widened at the sight of the now clean arm. Not because of the wound, but because of what was over the wound... A tattoo. He stared at the woman sleeping. Just who are you?!

Walking out of the bathroom, after finally bandaging the girls arm, he noticed an envelope on the floor just beside his bed. He picked it up and saw his name written on it. He sat down on the bed. He looked back at the girl before finally opening the letter. The letter that was written 100 years ago.

What did you guys think? Were they OOC?
