The Kept Promise

Part 1

Your POV

You missed the days of your youth. Very much still in shape and doing your due diligence as your job requires a lot of you. You approached your families gravestones noticing you weren't alone here. "I've kept my promise Kuina, now you can rest," I heard him say. Maybe I should pay her a visit as well while I'm here. You lit the lantern and left sake on your father's grave. Your mother you placed orchids, her favorite. Your younger sister you placed a new pink kimono. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you little sister. May you guide my hand as I kill all who were responsible. I have one more person left," you said letting the tears fall. You sat there a while before feeling the eyes of another.

You swiftly drew and your sword held against the man's throat. "Why do you sneak up on a woman like that?" You shouted. His sword was against yours, "I came to know who you are after?" He asked simply. "Why do you care?" You asked him annoyed by the questions. "I may help you," he said. Your eyes widened. "Last I checked Zoro helps no one but himself," your eyes narrowed. "Why should I believe you now," you said putting your sword lower toward his fourth sword. "Y/n, you know me better then that," he said frustrated. "Do I Marimo? You don't need or help anyone, you said that yourself, the day I left the straw hats to avenge my family," you shouted. You turned around to face your family and bowed. "Rest in peace. I love you," you said and then stormed passed him as if he wasn't there.

You went straight for your home on the outskirts of the village. You stopped to get food and sake for the night. You knew he was either following you or already knew his way to your home. You didn't care, after what he said to you...how he shattered your heart you don't want anything to do with anyone.
