Me- Ok, finally I'm able to update, not as often as I wanted to over break cause we finally got Microsoft word into my computer. I thought it was just the computer or something, I felt stupid once i realized that Microsoft just wasn't installed yet. The wait is finally over, plus I started watching and reading kuroko no basket which I'm in love with and immediately I had an awesome idea for a fan fiction, but of course it's going to be with an added oc that I had created. I created the oc, but while listening to facedown I kind of got this idea, and since one of the characters I feel is slightly yandere but not extreme like most cases it might work lol. During today and tonight I'm going to do my best to update both this story and my fairy tail story pop star along with finishing up the rise of the guardians and posting the new story as well. I have a feeling that if I don't post my stories I kind of lose sight of the idea I once had so I like to write them down so I have a basis to go off. This chapter is going be semi short. The fight scene will be skipped unfortunately and end up with them arriving back to start their trip to find Nami, and let's face it; I'm always going to add cute moments between Leif and different characters so that I can state the relationship with each one, but you guys tell me what you think and don't be afraid to tell me your opinion on my character. I hope this chapter is good, and without further ado here's the chapter you've been waiting for!
Hime-sama no Kaizoku
Chapter 14: I want to be strong!
It was moments after the fight between Luffy, Leif, and Don Krieg had concluded. The two were victorious despite the fact that Leif barely made it out alive if it hadn't been for Luffy whom had stretched out his hand to pull her out-of-the-way. Leif was grateful and had hugged Luffy whom merely held her with one arm while throwing in arm up in the air to celebrate; momentarily forgetting their navigator whom had betrayed them.
"Leif-Chan!" shouted an oddly familiar voice as a blur of yellow flashed before her eyes. She mentally sighed as she found herself in a hug with the infamous cook whom Luffy was trying to recruit.
"Sanji, can you please let go of me." Leif asked nicely as Sanji looked up at her to see her eyes darkening every second that he held on to her. Sanji immediately let go as Leif's facial features returning back to normal.
"Luffy?" Usopp questioned the straw hat captain as Luffy looked in the distance to where Nami had sailed off. With that one look they all knew that they were going after her; they knew that they wouldn't stop chasing her until she chose to stay with them.
"Let's go then, captain." Leif spoke as she put on a hand on his right shoulder to which he replied with a big grin and his usual laugh.
It didn't take much for them to get a decent ship to go find Nami, especially with Sanji was of some help with getting them to lend them a ship. Leif was busying herself, while they set sail, by bandaging Zoro's wounds for him. He wasn't exactly happy as she made many mistakes while bandaging his chest; on top of managing to hit him a few times for the comments he made about the work she had done with the bandages. Leif couldn't help but stare at the bandages, almost lost in the wound, thinking about how she could have stopped it from happening. She shook her head, she knew that Zoro had gone against Mihawk of his own free will, and that it was his own battle, she wasn't getting in the way of that.
"Princess?" Zoro questioned Leif as he touched her face to wipe away tears that she didn't even know were there.
"I'm fine stupid swordsman, I'm completely fine." She lied as she pulled away from him, staring at the ground while shaking slightly.
"You're not fine, what the hell is your problem!?" Zoro yelled as he tried to keep his voice down.
"You want to know my problem, fine," Leif snapped as she turned to him, her eyes piercing through his very being. "I'm tired of being so weak."
Zoro just stared at her as she began to speak her mind.
"Luffy, Usopp, Nami, Sanji , and even you have done so much, and every time you guys get hurt and I can't do a damn thing about it. I want to be stronger so that I can protect everyone, if I was stronger than maybe you would have never gotten that wound." Leif snapped as she began to let a few tears out. The moment she did Zoro's eyes widened as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into an embrace to cheer the brunette up.
"Zoro, I...I'm sorry." Leif apologized.
"What are you apologizing for idiot." Zoro snapped.
"Because I'm such a cry baby; I'm always crying and it just shows how weak I am." Leif confessed.
"Shut up, it's not a weakness to cry, besides I've never seen someone who cares so much like you do." Zoro spoke as she pushed him back before sitting in the area she was before. Her tears weren't there anymore, only leaving tear stains on her cheeks.
"Of course I'd care idiot, you're my nakama after all; it's only natural to care for your nakama." Leif spoke as she smiled brightly at the swordsman who reluctantly gave one back in return.
"Leif, want to play with Usopp and I!?" Luffy yelled as he barged into the room. Leif looked up at him with a smile as she took his hand before leading him out the door. Zoro watched as she had left; she was a troublesome princess, but he wouldn't like it if they had never met. She was a great friend and addition to the crew as was Nami, and that's why no matter what, they'd get Nami back. It was only a matter of time before they reached their destination.
end of chapter 14
Me- yup I know it's pretty short but what did you think of the moment between Leif and Zoro. They're just friends though if that's what you're wondering. It's going to be a while for any of the original characters to develop a crush on anyone. besides that the contest from earlier chapters I've decided to reopen and of course it's from chapter 10 so if you want to read the details there you may. I've decided to leave it open until April 27th and of course that's my birthday so it's almost like the stories are for my special day. I'm going to attempt to write every chance I can which should hopefully be on Tuesdays and Thursdays depending on my work schedule. Anyway, hope you're ready cause starting today I'm planning for weekly updates on random stories. so of course won't be updating every single story every week but I'll most likely do two a week if I have the time. I also apologize if this chapter isn't up to par with the others. Also go easy on me since it's been a while since I've last seen one piece so I kind of forget how some characters act. If Zoro's to occ then forgive me. But anyway I hope you enjoy because valentines day is coming up in a month which means a valentine's day chapter for the himesama no kaizoku side stories and of course I want to make a nalu story too for the special day, and of course if any of you guys have any ideas that would be great. To celebrate valentine's day, throughout the next few weeks I'm taking requests until February 14th for valentines stories. Pm with your requests and I will update them either the day of or after. These requests are going to be one-shot stories of any show of your choice and a pairing of your choice. If I haven't heard of it I'll do research on the pair so I can make the story a worthwhile read. That's all I have to say, so have a happy new year since I'm late on saying that to my viewers.
