Hey guys! I am back! Again... I know I didn't upload again, but this semester is killing me -.- Seriously... But, the good thing is, that I'll go to the United Kingdom in January, because of the ERASMUS exchange student program. I am sooooo happy and excited! Finally, one of my dreams will come true! I'll spend a whole 5 months there. Isn't it great? :D Anyway, I decided that this chapter will be the last which is in a way is a prologue. After that I will pick up the evets, trying to make it exciting.

WARNING: Not correct English sentences!

After my confession, I turned into Hagrid.

"I shouldn't have said that. Definitely shouldn't have said that" I murmured as I panicked.

I guessed from Marco's tensed body, that he hadn't felt that way, so I crumbled out of the bed and started to put on my clothes.

"Uhm…just forget it, okay? Maybe, we can still be friends? Or you know what? I am going to hit my head somewhere, so maybe I will have an amnesia. It would be great, no?" I mumbled and tried to dress, but they were against me.

I felt tears were threatening to fall and I didn't want to have a break-down in front of Marco. Suddenly two arms snaked around my waist and a hard chest pressed against my back.

"Will you stop dressing and shut up for a minute, yoi?" he asked and I froze. "That's better. And it would be the best if you won't jump into conclusions in the future. I admit I didn't answer you, but only because I thought you will never say it."

"What?" I asked, puzzled.

"Cat…I knew that you loved me, even before you said it, yoi" he chuckled.

"What?" it seemed that it was all I could say.

"You could get that masked, insane blonde… damn it, I think you could get anybody you wanted and you didn't. You could also try to beat my ass for teasing you and you hadn't done it either, yoi."

"That's…"

"Let me finish" I shut up, waiting for him. I was too stunned to fight. "And I knew about your tattoo and I have to admit, it's flattering, but I look at it as a mark, that you are mine. That nobody can have you, but me. It is how it always will be, yoi. And I love you too. Maybe you are too young for me, but as I said, I want your everything. I want to see that little flame that lit up every time you look at me. I want to touch you every time we pass each other and don't have time for anything else. I want to be the one to protect you, to pleasure you…"

He couldn't finish it as I spun around and kissed him hard. Maybe it was all a lie. Maybe it was the truth. I didn't care. I loved him. I loved him so much that I would do anything for him.

"Don't leave me…" I whispered, my throat tight from the feelings.

"You aren't that lucky, yoi" he smirked. "Back to bed?" he raised a brow suggestively.

"Hmm… I don't know… There are a lot of things to do on the ship" I teased, but I screamed as he threw me on the bed and tore away the clothes.

"Cheeky girl…" he growled and my giggle turned into a moan as the fire was awakened again…

"Oh. You don't walk funny" smirked Lucas and I shot him a look.

"You are just jealous."

"Why would I be?"

"You didn't even make a move on Haruta. How long will it last until you do it?" now I was the one who was smirking at his red face.

"You are evil."

"And that's not the worst thing somebody said to me" I mused.

"So? How was your night?" asked Thatch.

"It was great" I looked down blushing and kicked away an imaginary stone.

"Oh my God! Marco!" yelled the 4th commander.

"What?"

"Did you hurt our Cat? I hope you were gentle with her" he then turned to me. "We don't need to go to the doctor, right? You don't have bruises, do you?"

I could have died on the spot from the embarrassment.

"Thatch, please, stop it…" I whispered.

"That's how you pleaded him? Marco you cruel bastard!"

"THATCH!" I screamed. "He didn't hurt me, okay? I am fine! I don't have bruises!"

"Oh. Well then, everything is all right" he nodded in satisfaction.

"Can I murder him?" I growled and I felt my flames, but suddenly blue flames entered my vision.

Marco stood beside me, eyes closed with a tight smile and a vein popped out on his forehead. I smirked as our flames connected and walked up to Thatch, who was moving back.

"What do you think Marco, what should we do to him?"

"He isn't a Devil Fruit user, so no sea water, yoi."

"What about his hair?"

"NO! NOT THE HAIR!" cried Thatch.

"That's a good idea. Ladies first?"

"You are such a gentleman, but why don't we do it together?" I smiled up at him and he let out his flames more, so did I.

"Perfect."

"DEVILS!"

After torturing Thatch - who was sniffling far away from us - I went to help to my division. We put away some boxes and I was so into the job I didn't notice that I was left alone.

"Well, well, well… Look who is here, zehahahaha!" chills run down my spine as I spun around.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"Be nice, girl. You are alone now. There isn't anybody to stop me" smirked Teach.

My mind tried to find a way out of there. It was bad. I needed a way.

"Don't try to escape" he said and brought out his claws. The ones which wounded Shanks.

I felt my inner animal begun to take over my senses. Anger wasn't too good for me.

"You bastard. You were the one who left that scar on Shanks' face" I growled and he looked at me with surprise.

"How do you know about it?"

"I am that badass."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW IT?" shouted Teach and grabbed my neck, smashing me into the wall.

I let out a hurt yell and started to turn into my Nekomata form, but before I could finish it, Matt burst through the door, a pistol pointed to Teach's head.

"Release her. Now" he growled not leave place to argue with him.

"We were just playing" grinned the pirate.

"Yeah, sure. With your hand on my sister's throat. You two sure had fun" he said sarcastically. "Get lost before I change my mind and just shoot you right here."

He didn't need to tell him twice. Matt rushed to my side, checking me.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. It's a shame we need him alive" I murmured as I was massaging my neck. "Tell me there aren't fingerprints."

"Sorry, sis'" he shook his head.

"How will I explain this to Marco?"

"I don't have any idea. But I have something new."

"What?"

Before he could finish it, we heard an excited yell and we rushed out to the deck. Ace was holding a piece of paper and I felt the energy run out of me.

"Look! It's my little brother! He got his first bounty!"

"Damn it" I muttered, but suddenly a shadow fell on me and I gulped hard.

"What is that on your neck, yoi?"

"Think of something! Fast!"

"Don't even try to lie."

"Shit!"

"Um… how people call it when you have a little trouble with another person? You know, when you don't see things in the same way?"

"Misunderstanding? Disagreement?"

"Exactly!" I grinned up him. "I had a little misunderstanding with someone" I giggled nervously, playing with my hair.

"Who was it?"

"Doesn't matter" I told him.

"Cat it matters! Who the hell hurt you, yoi?"

"Marco. Calm down."

"How could-?"

"Marco" my voice was like ice. "I said calm down. It doesn't matter, I can deal with it. Trust me."

"You use this trust too much against me" he noted, on his face a bitter look. "Sooner or later I'll have enough of it."

"I am sorry, my phoenix. I know it's hard to deal with me, but at the end of these things you will understand everything, okay?" I smiled up at him, resting my hands on his chest.

He sighed heavily, not saying anything.

"Forgive me?" I pleaded. "Let's enjoy Ace's heavenly mood" I suggested.

He looked like a sulky kid and didn't say a word. I stood on my tiptoes and grabbed his face, forcing his lips to meet mine. Marco didn't open his mouth and I smirked. My tongue teased his lips, licking it a little and drew back. My hands slipped into his shirt, scratching his skin lightly and I rubbed my hips 'accidently' to his.

"Please" I breathed into his ear, lightly bite it and that was it.

He grabbed my hair and pushed our lips together. Our tongues fought with each other, but as always, he was the dominant one.

"Maybe I should put a collar on you, yoi" he murmured, pupils dilated.

"And the lash would in your hand?" I teased.

"Of course."

I laughed as images run through my mind.

"Guys?" asked a voice and it was my brother, Lucas.

"Yes?" I turned my head to him.

"Everyone saw it" he said and my face went full red.

The entire ship stared at us; some of them were grinning, some blushed and some of them were uncomfortable.

"Silly children" chuckled Whitebeard.

"Go, get a room!" yelled Haruta, making my face a deep red colour.

"Maybe we will" smirked Marco.

"H-hey!" I slapped his chest lightly. "Don't I have words in this matter?"

"No" he shook his head.

"Can we go back to my little brother?!" whined Ace.

"Is this Luffy?" I asked as I walked to him, pretended that I didn't know him.

"Yes! We grew up together on an island! Of course I am stronger than him!" he said proudly.

"That's great Ace. He looks like he will cause some trouble" I chuckled.

"I know!" grinned freckle-face and a pain shot through my heart remembering Marineford.

"I want to meet him to hear some embarrassing memory of you" laughed Thatch.

I chuckled, knowing a lot and I decided it was time to plan things ahead.

As the weeks passed, we spent more and more time together with my brothers to make some plans. None of it was good enough, so we had to come up with something. Of course I needed to be with Marco as well, because I didn't want him to get suspicious.

"Are you alright, daughter?" asked one day Whitebeard when I was on the desk.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"You look like something troubling you."

"There are a lot of things in my head, pops. Sorry for making you worry."

"Still that thing when you three came abroad?"

"It's haunting me every day" I admitted with a weak nod. "I want it to end."

"Why don't you speak about it?"

"It would affect everything" I sighed.

"Your two brothers are handling it more easily" he pointed out.

"I know and I am happy about it. I don't want them to feel guilty" I smiled weakly.

"You are too young to bear everything on your shoulder alone. Why don't you let us help? We are a family."

"I know, but this is something I need to do" I said determined.

"We are all here for you" he said

"Thank you, father" I grinned up him and he looked a little shocked. Maybe the new title?

Marco, Thatch, Ace and some of the others went ahead to an island to make sure we can dock there and when they came back my whole body froze and my mind went black.

"Look guys, what I've found!" shouted Thatch happily, showing a round, light purple fruit with swirl patterns...

Sorry if this chapter was a little boring, but I needed some way to lead the storywhere Thatch find the fruit. I hope you guys forgive me ^^"
