A/N: I came realise I made a mistake in the last chapter so I have edited it and added Vivi to Chapter 2

~Tony Tony Chopper~

Her blood stained the white snow with a bright red. Kira cursed her luck; every time she came to this island, she hurt herself. She assumed it was because her friends on the island were doctors so subconsciously she was less careful. Still, it was a deep cut in her leg and she didn't like the idea of using the sleeves from her furisode kimono to stop the bleeding. She hoped the snow would help slow down the bleeding but she gave in and pressed the kimono sleeves against the wound.

"This is never going to come out." She moaned. She had only brought this one kimono with her and she disliked wearing anything else. Something about the kimono reminded her of home.

Kira suddenly heard what sounded like hooves getting closer to her. She looked up in the direction of the noise and saw a reindeer wearing a pink hat pulling a carriage. It stopped besides her and she smiled when she saw the one sitting in the carriage.

"Kureha." Kira said with a big grin, "I've never been so happy to see you before."

"You are hopeless Kira. I hope you have something to pay me with." Kureha said with a smile that meant she knew what Kira had.

"But of course, I never visit this island without some Umeshu for my good old friend."

"Can you get up?"

"Wouldn't mind some help. My leg really hurts."

"Chopper, can you help Kira?"

The reindeer suddenly transformed into what looked somewhat like a human. He took the harness that connected him to the carriage off and walked over to Kira.

"A reindeer who ate the human human fruit." Kira guessed straight away, taking the reindeer by shock.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"Despite how I look, I have lived for a very long time and when you have lived for a very long time, it's not too hard to learn nearly everything about the devil fruits. I am aware that you can find the human human fruit here. My name is Kira, what is your name reindeer?"

"Tony Tony Chopper." The reindeer replied as he bent down and picked Kira up.

"Thank you." Kira said as Chopper took her over to the carriage and place her in it next to Kureha. He went back to the harness and put it on. As he began pulling the carriage, Kureha began tending to Kira's leg.

"It's been so long since I last saw you." Kira said as she winced from the pain of Kureha prodding at her leg.

"It's been nearly ten years." Kureha said in return.

"I was in the East Blue for most of that. Is Hiluluk still about?"

Kureha shook her head softly, a grim look on her face, "He died four years back."

"Then tonight, I shall drink to his memory. It upset me greatly that I couldn't meet him one last time but I had a feeling this would be the case. He was a very good friend." Kira said sadly. She sat back and left Kureha to patch up her leg in silence.

~Nico Robin~

Kira sat against a tree that was just outside of a town, keeping herself in the shade as she looked through a bunch of bounty posters. Dressed in clothing she considered uncomfortable, jeans and orange singlet top with a cartoon cat on the front, she was waiting for the dressmaker to finish making her a new kimono. She put down the bounty posters and started digging through her messenger bag, looking for her kiseru when she noticed a black haired girl walk slowly pass. The girl was covered in dirt and what looked like bruises.

"Hey, are you alright?" Kira asked. The girl looked at her, startled, not realising that someone was near her. She stepped away, scared.

"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you hungry?" Kira pulled out an apple and stretched her arm out towards the girl, offering it to her. The girl was reluctant at first before she walked up to Kira and took the apple.

"Thank you." She said.

"My name is Kira. What's your name?"

The girl was hesitant about answering, it wasn't until she had a few bites of the apple did she finally gave her name, "I'm Nico Robin."

"Nico Robin?" Kira repeated back before she looked down at the pile of bounty posters.

"This girl is the demon of Ohara," Kira mutter quietly to herself as she looked back at Robin, "I can't leave her alone."

"Robin, would you like to travel with me?" Kira asked the young girl. Robin's eyes widen slightly and there was a sense of distrust in them.

"I can understand why you wouldn't exactly trust me. You're a young girl with a high bounty but I don't have any need for money and I know that the World Government is lying, there is no way what they have said about Ohara can be true. I've been there before; I knew a fair few of the archaeologists who resided on that island."

Robin still seemed a little unconvinced. Kira frowned as she thought of a way to prove herself and then she remembered her kaiken dagger. She looked through her rucksack and found her kaiken. A few jewels and black ink decorated the ivory cover of the kaiken, telling a story Kira had long since forgotten.

"While we travel together, you can hold onto this." She said as she pulled the sheath from the kaiken's blade, showing Robin.

"I will never betray you, and I am willing to sacrifice my life to prove it." She said as she sheathed the dagger and passed it to Robin. The young girl took the dagger and looked at its decoration.

"Is this a story?" She asked as she looked up at Kira.

"Yeah but it's been a long time since I last told it so I don't really remember anymore."

"Ok." Robin went back to looking at the kaiken.
