Sorry about this minna. I haven't been writing in a while because school is back in session(Ugh!) Also final exams are next week(fuck…) But I'm going to write as fast as possible. Oh yeah and another thing. I got into a new anime called Fairy Tail. I know it's not new, but it is to me. But don't worry, my love for One Piece still burns like the fiery passion of…I'm ranting aren't I? Oh well, on with the chapter!

Chapter 13: Hostage

"Let me go! Let me go!" I struggled against the rope as this mysterious guy name Kaku carried me into the sky.

"That wouldn't be such a good idea unless you want to go free falling." He said. I paled. Looking down was a mistake. How was he able to jump in air like this? It was starting to make me sick.

"I don't feel too good…"

"O-oi! Don't throw up on me!"

"Ok." I didn't want him to drop me anyway. That would be a long way down. But I have to get back to Zoro somehow. "Where are you taking me?" I demanded.

"I'm taking you to our hidden base. They're going to use you as bait to lure in your little friends." He replied. I couldn't see his face right now because I was tossed over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" I didn't like being separated from Zoro. I felt like I was being torn in two.

"Don't ask me, I'm just following orders."

I looked back of where he took me away from. All I could see was mountains fading away in the distance. "Zoro…" I whispered. I felt tears sliding down my face. I felt so weak and defenseless. If I were stronger, I wouldn't have been kidnapped like this! "Dammit!" I started to kick and struggle furiously.

"Hey! Quit struggling!" Kaku bounced in mid air trying to get me to stop but instead I slipped off his shoulder and plummeted downwards toward the ground.

"Ahhhhhh!" I yelled as I fell further and further. Suddenly I was caught by a disgruntled Kaku.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed!" he yelled at me.

"I just want to go home! Please! Take me back!"I cried. He didn't answer me right away. He looked away from me so I couldn't really see his face.

"I-I can't do that. You're coming with me, and that's final." Kaku continued to take me away somewhere. I didn't know where we were going and I didn't care. I wanted to be back with the others and have it be like how it used to be. They're all probably worrying over me right now.

Back at the lodge, tensions were high as the search party came back. Zoro paced the back and forth looking out the window growling to himself like a tiger in a cage.

"Can someone explain whats going on, because I am completely lost here?"Usopp complained.

"Yeah, what happened to Luffy? Who took him?" Vivi asked.

"Mihawk, we might as well tell them right? They're as worried as we are." Sanji looked toward his foster father.

"Yes, that is understandable." He answered. Sanji quickly explained to the humans of the room everything about how they are demons and kiseichu

"What! You all aren't human!" Usopp exclaimed.

"And you mean that Luffy was taken by one of those things?" Nami asked frantically.

"What are they going to do to him?" Vivi had her hand over her mouth in shock.

"We don't know. All we know is that the person who took him was defiantly a Pureblood." Sanji said.

"I shouldn't have let him go off on his own. If I had been there, none of this would have happened." Zoro pressed his fist against the glass. "We should go now, while the scent is still fresh!"

"Baka! That's just what they want." Mihawk spoke up. "If were to guess, they're trying to use him to get to us."

"Those cowards! We could have just settled this like men!" said Sanji pounding his fist on the table.

"Although," Mihawk continued. "We shouldn't sit and wait to see if they're going to do something or not. If they want war, then they've got one."

Zoro grinned pounding his fist into his hand. "I'll make them wish they haven't ever messed with us in the first place!"

Sanji stood up in lit a cigarette in his mouth. "Mess with one of us and you mess with all of us."

"Yohohoho! Looks like we've got a battle on our hands! I'm almost nothing but bones, but when a friend calls for help, you act upon it!" Brook raised his cane in preparation.

"It seems that way doesn't it." Robin said smiling inwardly.

"We'll help too!" Nami said confidently.

"Y-yeah! H-he's our friend as well! W-we can f-fight!" Usopp stood up, but his legs were trembling with fear. Sanji sweat-dropped.

"Then that settles it! We're going to take them by storm! Time to teach those poor excuses of demons a lesson!"

I woke up several hours later in a daze. Somewhere in the middle of Kaku carrying me in the sky, I passed out from too much stress I put myself through.

This time, I was lying on something cold and hard like a floor. Groaning, I sat up trying to capture my surroundings. It seems that I'm in a cage of some sort. It was kind of dark too.

"I see you're awake." A familiar voice sounded outside of the cage. Kaku was sitting cross legged on the fall next to the cage. His arms were crossed as if he were guarding my cage or something.

"Where am I? Why are you just sitting there?" I asked.

"Your at our headquarters. And I'm here to make sure you don't escape." He said. I picked my nose and leaned back trying to get comfortable.

"That's boring. You're boring. I'm hungry." I droned.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Should I be? I don't care because I know Zoro's gonna come for me and kick all of your asses." I said casually sticking my tongue out at his.

"Yeah right, if Zoro comes here. He and his little coven will have no choice, but to join us. Enel-sama will make sure of that."

"I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care! Give me food!" I barked at him. I clearly got on his nerves. I was good at that kind of thing.

"If I get you food, will you shut up?" he scowled at me.

"Yeah! You won't even know I'm here!" I made the motion to seal my lips and blinked at him. I could have sworn that I saw tinted color show up on his cheeks, but it was probably just the dark. Kaku got up and made his way to the door at the end of the room. "You know, Kaku your not such a bad guy after all!"

"Hush you."

"Hey wait!"

"What is it?"

"I like your nose."

Kaku's hand went up to his rectangular nose. This time I know for sure he blushed. "I-I told you to zip it! I'll be right back, don't move."

"Like I have a choice." I muttered wittily. Kaku sighed roughly as he disappeared out the door. I laid down on the floor of the cage pillowing my head with my hands. Maybe Kaku's not such a bad guy. Even though he did kidnap me. Maybe he can be my friend. I thought to myself. I really do hope Zoro gets here fast. I want to be by his side again and kick the asses of whoever planned this.

All I have to do is play the waiting game.

Stay tuned! There is more to come! Please review! :3
