Virus:

Request from XxFire-PhoenixxX: I missed you! TT where have yoi been ?!Happy valentines for you who isnt single and happy weekend to those are single XD anyway, can you make a story where theres a virus spreading and is deadly

They all had been fine when the virus had hit the world, it wasn't something like a zombie apocalypse it was just a disease. Well that's what everyone thought at first, people would suddenly come down with the cold, which they were in winter so they expected it to be gone in a few weeks. But after two months, everything changed peoples skin started to flake off rapidly, bleeding from the pores in the skin and then there organs will start failing, some people didn't get the illness but this was humanity's last stand everyone knew it.

Megumi removed the mask as she stepped back into her home, though a good chunk of humanity had been killed off in the first wave of this disease or virus. Megumi and her two partners were fine from the first wave they had lost so many friends though Marcos brother Thatch and Aces Grandpa were some the first to catch the disease.

The masks came in when people started to die, she remember when they came in people laughed but those were the people that got caught by the second wave.

"How was work?" Ace asked in the doorway watching her as she removed the bags from her shoes and place them in the box.

"Ok…. Bit of a ho ha, when someone with the virus walked past but yeah…. How's Marco….?" She asked.

Marco worked out the country a lot after the company fell a few years ago he went back to the army, the virus destroyed the import business and he went back to doing what he was comfortable doing.

Ace shook his head, "Sorry haven't heard anything."

She sighed and shaking her head slightly, "I'll go put on dinner."

Later on that evening Megumi and Ace sat down on the sofa watching television when someone knocked on the door. Megumi got up off the sofa and went towards the door, she grabbed her mask and placed it on as she answered the door. Two men dressed in full military uniform stood with a grim look across their faces. Both men removed their hats, "Miss Akiyama…. Is Mr Portgas home as well?"

"ACE!" Megumi yelled.

She heard him scrambling in the next room and he burst into the hallway with his mask half put on, "What…?"

"Mr Phoenix, we aren't too sure on his condition, he has asked for both of you," One the man told them.

A few hours laters both Ace and Megumi stood behind the glass wall watching Marco sleep, Kaya stood next to them explaining to both of them they were just taking precautions. He was complaining about a fever earlier on that week, but they were based in Alabasta so it could be heat stroke but they didn't want to risk it.

Megumi was sure it was heat stroke his face was bright red, though his breathing sounded find not blocked slightly, she rested her head on the class watching him. Time will tell, they just have to wait.
