The thief who stole the swordsman's heart (zoro fan fic)

Chapter 9

I let out a yelp and through my hands out in front of me trying to catch myself, someone grabbed my arm and hauled me back up. "What are you doing," Luffy asks, I glare at him, 

"I'm practicing how to walk in this stupid cast" I gestured to my foot for effect, "see"

Luffy stared at it for a while before finally speaking, "what'd you do to it," leaning down to poke it. "does this hurt" I shake my head and start to walk away.

I hobble out onto the deck looking for a certain reindeer, I walk over to Chopper. "When can I get this off of my foot" Chopper looks at me,

"maybe a couple weeks" I let out a snarl, Chopper cries out and backs away. I put my head in my hands, "i'm sorry just this thing annoys me to no end"

I sigh my emotions were going haywire and I needed to see the one person that could keep some of them in check. I smile as I see him laying out in the sun asleep, I walk/hobble over to him. His eyes open as I sit down, "hey" I say smiling,

"What happened to your foot," he says frowning, I let out a sigh, "I broke my foot, I have to be in this thing for a few weeks" I glare at the cast wishing it to disintegrate, it didn't. Zoro wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. I snuggle closer to him, I let out a sigh of content.

I here yelling by the aquarium, I shift around to see what the commotion was. I sighed as I see Usopp and Luffy wrestling to get a fish out of the water and into the kitchen. "Can you go help them" I ask batting my eyelashes at him, he sighed and pushed himself up off the ground.

I bit my hand trying not to laugh as Zoro easily throws it onto the deck and starts to drag it to the kitchen. The fish starts flipping around and I burst out laughing as it hits Zoro and he lands on his back. I snicker as he starts to yell at Luffy and Usopp about how they should at least try to help him out.

"And you need to stop laughing at me" he says turning to me, I  mock salute to him, "yessir" he glares at me. I bit my lip in an effort to try to stop laughing, eventually its to much to take as he trys to get the fish into kitchen again.

Eventually I get up, starting towards the kitchen to open the door for Zoro. "Here you go" I say sweetly bowing as he enters, he drops the fish in the kitchen and walks out. I snicker at his appearance, he had some sort of slime all over him and he was soaked in head to toe in it.

I wipe some of it out of his hair and rub it between my fingers, "gross" i say whipping it back on my shirt, he rolls his eyes and starts to walk away, "i'm going to take a shower" he smiled over his shoulder, "would you ike to join me" his voice was teasing but his eyes said a totally different thing.

I blush as I realize where we were, I hiss and shove him through the door, "the hell they don't need to know what we do" i growl, "jeez" He smiles, and leans down to kiss me, I put my fingers o his lips, "nope" i say shaking my head.

"you need to go get your slimy self into the shower before I kiss any part of you" he smirks at me,

"any part of me" I smack him in the chest, "yes jeez think of it as your reward" i snicker as I rethink my sentence. I hear something out on deck and jerk open the door, I look up to see a newspaper coming straight down to me. I yelp as Zoro pulls me back into his chest, getting me out of harms way.

I see the paper and whats on the front page has me stopping in my tracks, 'FIRE-FIST ACE FOR EXECUTION' . My heart squeezes as I pick up the paper and read the rest, I sense Zoro reading it over my shoulder, no Ace can't die!! The one guy who was like a brother to me, who helped me out, who became my best friend. They're so many people, including all the warlords and they're all at impel down waiting for whitebeard. My brother I just found you and Luffy and you of all people should know I can't just sit back and watch you die. And I know Luffy won't either.

I'm dimly aware of everyone talking and moving around, I drop the paper and lean against the wall.  I hear Zoro talking to me and hear him yell for Chopper but I brush his hand away when he tries to feel my forhead.

I look past everyone to see Luffy staring at his vivre card that Ace gave him with looking uncertain. I push off the wall and walk to Luffy, "are we going to get him" i ask quietly. Slowly he nods and gets up, "Nami chang our direction to impel down we're going to save Ace"

I watch Luffy and feel pride that i'm related to him, that i'm on his crew, and that he trusts me. I open my mouth to say something to Luffy about this but, I shake my head, but you have to he deserves the right to know. 

I dodge out of the way as everyone starts to head to their stations, "Luffy i need to talk to you"

"hunh oh sure" i take a deep breathe

"now I only just found this out ok so you can't be mad at me" slowly he nods his head wathing me, "i'm your sister"
