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

Chapter 23

"Couldn't we have just left him, found some other famous swordsman" I say to Luffy who laughed behind us, "you two are funny" 

"your kidding right" I mutter to myself, "why did I agree to join your crew again"

"Guess your stuck with me" Zoro says with a smirk, 

"oh shut up Roronoa" I snap blowing my bangs out of my face, "its almost sundown and- do you know where we're going" I yell at him.

He looks around, "great you got us lost" he mutters

"I got US lost"I yell my voice rising, "YOU can't blame ME for your bad sense of direction"

"I don't have a bad sense of direction" he yells back

I walk up to him,being almost as tall as him I was able to look him in the eyes with out tilting my head. "you are stubborn and just don't want to admit it" I say poking him in the chest. I hear a thump on the ground and turn to see Luffy rolling around on the ground laughing his head off.

I look at Zoro, who was now at a small creek taking his shirt off, with his back facing me. My heart fluttered and butterflies started up in my stomach, what's gotten into me, oh hot damn he's sexy!!! My jaw literally dropped as I stare at his perfectly sculpted chest, he clears his throat and I look up at him blushing.

I smirk when I see his cheeks start to turn red, "is the infamous Roronoa Zoro blushing" he smirks at me.

"why is the big bad werewolf blushing" 

"W-w-what, psshhh, nah just its......hot?" a lame excuse I know but whatever, "wait were'd he go" we both look around with Luffy no where to be seen. As Zoro and I walk away I find that, I can't walk with them?

I pause as the world of the forest fades away to reveale a pirate ship, Whitebeard's ship. I frown but it turns into a smile when I see my father ad Ace, both looking better then when I last saw them, "but aren't you dead" I whisper.

The both laugh, "its a dream, you passed out"they said at the same time.

"how would you-"

"I'm always watching over you and my sons" I smile at that.

"I need tell you something" Ace says waking to me, "Luffy's in trouble, and as you know I can't be there for him not now"

I nod in understanding, "thanks, i'll find him" but I start to panic when they fade away, "wait, wait, will I see you again" I ask tears lining my eyes. The smile and wave but don't answer, "Ace" I yell, "Dad"

"Come back" I gasp out and bolt upright, briskly I wipe the tears away, "gotta get to Luffy- oh hey dizzy" I say standing up. I stumble to a nearby tree and lean against it, putting a hand to my head, I frown when I wind up feeling something hot and sticky. I pull my hand away just as I see the blood on the ground, "great" I mutter heading off in the direction of my nakama's scent.

********

I had found a hoodie and tried my best to wash the blood out of my hair. I had the hood up and was walking around the town trying to pinpoint where Luffy was, I slow my pace when I hear a woman scream. "please someone help"

I start to walk past when the end of her rant catches my ear, at first I had only gotten, "Straw Hat" and "find him", "he will be the destruction of fishman island. I groaned, "I was afraid something like this would happen" I start to jog when I hear someone say my name.

"yea" I say turning around, "I was right" the fishman yelled, "she's from Straw Hat's crew"

I start to run away as they chase after me. "Gotta warn Luffy gotta warn Luffy" I repeat coming closer to him. I just hope the others are safe, my thoughts take me to one in particular, no Zoro can handle himself.

I just need to get to Luffy, before they do, Luffy, I will lay down my life for you and my nakama.....for their sake and mine........I won't....can't let anything happen to you guys.
