New home
Garp knocks on the little shack door loudly. He turns to his little new granddaughter who smiling so wide that he is sure that it hurts her face. I hope you are always smiling and no one takes it away from you. If you ever loose it I promise to hunt down that person and give them a good talking too! The door bangs open and a large women with curly orange hair glares at him.
"Why the hell…Oh Garp! Haha here to finally pick up your brat?" Aiko looks at this women and she blinks. She has such pretty hair like me! Oh maybe she my mommy!
"Are you my mommy?" Aiko soft voice catches the pretty hair women off guard. Her brown eyes turn to mine and I watch as she moves her stick that stinky in her mouth.
"Hell no and who the hell are you?" I frown at her harsh words. I hide my face in my jiji hair to try and disappear. She not a nice lady even if she douse have nice hair. I don't want her to be my mommy! On the other hand Garp frowns as he pats Aiko head to calm her down.
"This is MONKEY D. AIKO and she is my GRANDDAUGHTER! You will look after her for me!" Garp loud voice sends a flock of birds to the sky and sends the orange hair lady mouth to the floor. I come back from hiding to look at her. I giggle in my hands to hide my smile. She may eat some bugs if her mouth open like that! Yucky!
"Even if you have really pretty hair you don't have to be so mean….and who are you? Oh are you my baby brother?" I watch the orange hair lady mutter something under her breath with red cheeks. On the other hand I jump off jiji shoulder so I can face the little boy who trying to tiptoe away from us. He shorter then me with black hair, wide gray eyes, little freckles, and a little red t-shirt, with black shorts. He look back at me with wide innocent eyes.
"Big sis?" Ace cocks his head to the side and looks at the girl. She has long blond hair, violet eyes, tan kiss skin, and wearing a white dress. Do I have a sis? Maybe my mom made me a new one? She looks nice and not mean like the bandits.
"Gahahah that right! Ace meet your big sister Aiko. You two will have to look after each other. Ok?" Garp voice booms around us and Ace turns wide eyes up to him.
"Really?" Ace grins as he looks from Garp to Aiko.
"Yes. Aiko this is Dandan. She will look after you from now on. I have to go back to work but I will be back!" Aiko run at jiji and hug his leg.
"I don't want you to leave me jiji!" I blink my tears away as I hug his pants leg. I feel a soft hand on my head and I look up into soft eyes.
"Don't be said my little love. I promise to come back for more kisses. I will run out and need more to cheer me up!" I rub my eyes as I put out my pinky.
"Promise?" I hiccup and I watch jijji pinky curve with mine. I feel a tiny hands hug me from the back.
"Don't worry! I propect you!" Ace grins to try to cheer his new sis up. I don't like see sis sad! I know! I show her my special place! With that in mind he pulls her towards the forest and away from his old man and away from the fist of love.
"Bye bye! Be back for dindin"! Ace waves as he pulls Aiko away from gramps and grumpy pants. Aiko look around at the huge trees and she loves the way the wind smells so fresh. I don't think I have ever seen such big trees. Aiko allows Ace too pull her through the forest since he knows the place better then her. The fresh smell brings a smile to AiKo face as she watches the branches sway with the dancing wind. Nothing is said between the two new siblings. Only the sound of their little feet walking through the bush. Aiko blinks as waves can be heard in the distance and the smell of the ocean whiffs up her nose. Ace pushes some branches away and spreads his arms as wide as possible.
"Tada! My special spot"! Ace little arms spread as the sea calls for him. It like it begs him to follow the waves. He turns towards the cliff and watches waves splash against the side. So nice! I wonder if sis likes it too?! Ace turns to see her smiling as she sits next to him. Good she happy!
"How you find this spot? It so pretty but far from home?" Aiko ask as Ace who to sit in her lap. I wrap my arms around my new little brother and watch the waves against the rock. I turn to a bush that I swear awww. I watch it for any movement but nothing happen. Little hands grab mine and I look down at Ace who leans against my chest. He so warm and smells like grass. I giggle as I look back out to the blue ocean.
"Dandan meany to me. I left and found my spot! Make me feel better and sleepy!" Ace giggles as the waves splash at them a little. The water cool on their skin and the salty air makes them shiver. I wonder who my family is? I have a brother but do I have a sister? I hide my face in Ace black hair. It soft and I hug him closer to me.
"What's wrong"? Ace moves in my lap and I move back so he can look up at me. His owlish gray eyes are wide and his lips pout. Cute.
"I lost my memory. No idea who or where my family is… I have you now so it ok!" I watch Ace search my eyes and he nods finding for whatever he looking for. He turns back to the ocean and re-grabs my hands.
"Ok! I am family! No one takes you from me! It promise!" Ace yells to the ocean as if it will agree with him. I will never leave you sis!
"I am two! How old are you"? Ace puts up two fingers with a grin. I bet I am older then sis! She may be big but I am older! Ace grins as Aiko giggles.
"I am four years old I think. I feel like that the right number!" Aiko shows him four fingers and Ace pouts.
"Not fair! I want to be bigger!" Ace crosses his arms and puffs out his cheeks. His eyes fall to the grass but before then he notices the bad burn along one side of Aiko arm. When he looks closer he notice another on the opposite leg. How she get that? Did I pull her to hard? Ace can feel his eyes fill with tears as little bad ideas run in his head.
"I'm sorry! Didn't mean to hurt you Aiiiiiii! Don't hate meeeeee!" Ace starts crying as he turns and bury his wet cheeks in Aiko shoulder. She can feel his tears wet her dress and she has no idea where this came from. Aiko does the only thing she can think of. She wraps her arms around him and pulls his little body closer.
"You didn't hurt me! Why do you think that?" Aiko watches Ace pull back and rubs his red eyes.
"Your arm and leg! It has bobo!" Ace hides his face again and his body shakes with little hiccups. Aiko looks down and notice it must be from the burn. He thinks he did it?! Awww…not his fault. She smiles softly as she bends down to kiss his cheek.
"Ace! It not your fault! I got burn from…litning! I think that what jiji says. Not your fault"! I scold my new little bro who pops up from my shoulder. He looks up at me with snot down his nose and wet cheeks.
"Wreally"? Ace ask one more time as he looks at the red angry marks.
"Yes! Really! Don't even hurt anymore!" I smile as Ace gives me a smile back. Not as big as before but still there. He leans his head on my shoulder and together we watch the wave's crash against the cliff. Sometime pass and I watch as the sky turns a pretty red and orange. I look down to see Ace is fast asleep against me. I look behind me at the forest that slowly becoming darker by the second. I hear a growl in the distance sending a shiver down my spine. Forest looks scary. Where is that hut? Aiko squints her eyes hoping she can see it if she looks closely enough. Nothing shows up but darkness. How I get to new home? The bushes ruffle and Aiko stiffens as grumbling is heard from inside. A hand pops out follow by the pretty orange hair… Dandan I think.
"There you brats are! Geese the little devil fell asleep again! Come on! Let's go home!" Denden barks at them. Aiko internally feels happy as the word brat brings up a happy feeling. The feeling gone as soon as it comes.
"Don't fall behind or the tiger king will have you for supper!" Dandan eyes her new brat. She cute but won't survive a day out here. Just going to have to teach her the ropes so she can survive! What a pain in my ass! Dandan takes a deep breath of nicotine. The drug calms her down as she watches Aiko put Ace on her back. Strong brat. She may be of some use after all. Dandan starts walking through the forest and keeps one eye on Aiko to make sure she is following. She holds in a laugh as Ace drools all over her shoulder. Dandan says nothing as she feels a little hand in hers. She holds a blank face but on the inside she feels really happy. She can just imagine Aiko bigger with scruffy cloths and bossing her men around and cooking for her. Now that a daughter I want! With a new plan to turn her into a bandit in mind they make it back to the shack.
"Ace we are back! Waky waky eggs and backy"! Aiko sings as if she heard it many times before. Weird? Ace opens his eyes and yawns as he finds himself back in the shack.
"Sorry. Sleepy but hungry." Ace stomach growls in agreement. They walk through the doors and Aiko freezes as a bunch of men surround them with swords. Aiko eyes widen with a huge grin.
"Yahhhh! Are you all my big brothers too?" Aiko watches the men look at each other. Some aww as they get a look at the new little girl and others raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"No! I am your brother! They are bandits!" Ace pouts at the idea of sharing Aiko with anyone else. She mine! Ace is place down and Aiko stands in front of him as if she is going to protect him. The smell of meat in the air causes him to drool. The battle begins! I better get lots of meat to share with my sis!
"Slop on boys! Come get it while it hot!" Dandan yells as she already holding her serving. She watches her men dive for the plate like wild animals. She spots Ace diving for a bone but another one of her men steels it from under him. She rolls her eyes at the usual scene. I wonder how my new daughter will do. Dandan search the crowd of wild animals/men for the little blond. She catches her jumping over her men and having already three pieces in her hand. Impressive! It like she has done this before. Maybe she has with her old family whoever the hell they are. Too bad they lost her! Now she mine! Dandan grins as she takes a bight of meat and watches Aiko steal another piece of meat. She turns to Ace who only has one piece in his hand. The plate empty and her men look happy. To slow brat. At least you get a piece of meat tonight! Ace sniffs as he grabs a seat on my left.
"Look at all the meat I got!" Aiko grins as she sat beside her new brother. Ace glares at her pile then back at his. I wanted to feed sis! He takes an angry bite and accepts his rice.
"Impressive indeed! Here your one bowl of rice and cup of water! Every day you will have to clean and work under me. As a price you will get one bowl of rice and a cup of water! If you want more you have to fight for it like the rest of us or hunt for it yourself! I don't want to hear any complaints!" Aiko nods at Dandan rules. I guess I will have to learn to hunt! Aiko agree with herself as she takes two pieces of meat and hands them to Ace.
"Here you go bro! Now we can have full of energy for tomorrow!" Ace glares at the food then down to his half eaten meat stick.
"I wanted to feed you! Sorry for being weak! But when I am four I be strong like you! I feed you!" Ace declares as he points his meat stick at her. Aiko stares at the meat and takes the bight of the last bit of meat. She smile as she chews at the meat. When you are four I will be six! Good luck bro with catching up !Ace looks down at his now empty stick.
"Hey! That my meat"! Ace jumps to his feet and throws his bone to the floor.
"Brat! Don't be throwing your garbage in my house!" Dandan barks as she glares at him.
"Ace that was supper yummy! Thanks for feeding me. Gargargar! Now I can feed you and be fair! You shared with me so I share with you!" Aiko watches Ace calm down and sits back down. He picks up his thrown bone and throws it into the fire. The bone cracks fill the air as he grabs a piece of meat from his sis. She right! We share! Ace grins as takes a huge chunk of meat.
"You right sis! Happy you like it!" Ace grins and they eat away. Aiko rubs her stomach feeling full and refresh. She looks down at her rice and sticks out her tongue. To full to eat but I shouldn't waste my food. Aiko notices Ace staring at it and she hands it to him.
"You can have it. To full to eat!" She loves the way Ace eyes widen and takes her bowl.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ace shovels the rest of the rice in his mouth and stands up.
"I show you my room! This way!" Ace grabs his sis hand and pulls her. Aiko chuckles as she slowly gets up. The wind hits the wooden boards making the room creek as the sound of rain starts to pater against the roof. Aiko body freeze at the sound of rain but Ace pulling her along unfreezes her body. She follows after him. I hope the storm go away! Aiko begs no one as she climbs up a latter. So we sleep on roof?
"Tada! This my room"! Ace cheers as he pulls her to his straw mat and blanky! Good thing blanky so big! We can share. Ace grins as he ignores the rain to turn to his new sis. His eyes widen as he watch her body shake. Her violet eyes are searching the room for something. Like an enemy in hiding but there nothing other then the growing wind and rain outside. He rushes over and gives her a hug.
"Brat here your Pj! Go to sleep and I don't want to hear a single word!" A large orange shirt is thrown onto the platform. Aiko picks it up and shivers as the rain picks up. Bad rain! Aiko begs it to be nothing but rain as she undress and slides the overly large shirt on. If anything it looks like the shirt smothering Aiko to death.
"Sis you ok?" Ace ask as he has his own onesie on. It looks a bit small on him and looks like it seen better days. He walks over and grabs her hand. Aiko nods and says nothing as she lets Ace pull her over to his bed. Just as the room lights up with a flicker of light a shaking boom follows a few seconds later. Aiko cover her ears as tears form in her eyes.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Aiko screams as a new batch of light flows through the room. Aiko curls into herself as the loud crash happens outside. Flashes of light and two man she can't recognize appear on a sandy beach. She can hear them call her name over and over in her head even if she does not know who they are.
"BRAT SHUT THE HELL UP! WE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" Dandan screams over the raging wind and rain that hit her home. Her men agree around her as they try to sleep. Another batch of lightning lights the room with thunder following after. Aiko lets another high pitch scream as her arm and leg burns. She curls in further into herself and start rocking to try to calm down.
"Sis it ok! I am here. It just god farting!" Ace hugs his crying sis who grabs him in a hug. He pulls the blankets closer and hide them under as if it a shield from the world.
"See we hiding from god farts now!" Aiko looks up and giggles a little at the idea of god farting so loud it destroys the ground beneath it. The lightning crashes again. Aiko whimpers and pulls Ace closer. I have to brave for sis sake! Even if gad farts are scary! Ace shuffles closer with that idea in mind. I will try my best to always protect you sis! I will get stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger just for you. Just wait and see. Ace little hands tighten on Aiko made up pj. The storm rages on above the hut most of the night. Even with the thunder Aiko still shakes and cries and tries to hold back her screams to not wake her new brother that fell asleep with a smile hours ago. Once the room go silent that when Aiko finally falls into a dreamless sleep. Those voices of her name being called forgoten with the storm that moves on to the next village for it next victims.
