Chapter 19:Little brothers

(A/N:Irl i have a horrible sense of fashion. I feel like I can't look good in anything without my Mum saying it looks funny. It annoys me, including winter time.)

Itami pov
I was the first one awake out of everyone. I had gone out, and grabbed hunted for some food. I had brought back pig meat (bacon), eggs that I stole from a chicken (I checked that it wasn't one of those chickens that laid chicks) & wild boar meat. I knew I could've gone to the Moby dick & cooked something up there, but that's too far away for me.

Anyway, this morning was quite cool. The air was a little bit crisp, but it was still warm. I sat by the fire, cooking up the last bit of bacon fir everyone.

'Wasn't as hard as I thought. I think this should be enough to feed the whole crew. Though, it will mean that no one can have seconds.'

I suddenly felt a heated body hugging mine. I could feel Aces chin rest on my shoulder.

"Mornin'.."He yawned cutely
"Good morning. Sleep well?"
"One of the best sleeps I had in my entire life."He answered

I finished getting breakfast ready, and started setting everything up.

"How long have you been up?"Ace asked, now no longer hugging me
"Couple of hours I guess. I had gone hunting."I said

Ace stared at the food that I had made for everyone. He looked surprised, impressed even.

"How many animals did you kill?"
"Umm....ahh...I lost count."I said sheepishly
Ace swear dropped."I think you killed the entire forest."
"Oh no, I know I killed a lot, but I left some animals out."I answered

Ace sweatdropped, and didn't say anything else.

Anyway, everyone started to wake up & eat up their breakfast. I asked Marco about the log pose, and he told me that is was set, meaning that we had to leave today (which sorta made me a little bit sad).

We all started to make preparations for the next travel. I sent 4 divisions out to hunt food, while the rest of us went to shut up shop. It didn't take too long, and soon, we were already leaving the beach.

I watched as we sailed off from the beach. I had so much fun yesterday, including when Ace & I...had a make out session last night.

I felt myself blush, and cupped my cheeks.

'I can't stop thinking about it!'

I sighed & grabbed a drink of water. On the kitchen bench, I saw the newspaper that Izo was reading before. I grabbed the newspaper, and read the front cover.

"STRAW HAT LUFFY, 300,000,000 beris!"

'Wait isn't this Aces brother? Omigod I gotta tell Ace!'

I ran back outside, taking the paper with me. I ran around the ship, shouting for Ace.

I huffed.

'Only one thing left to do.'

"THERE IS NO MORE MEAT LEFT!"I screamed

Immediately, I heard running noises coming towards me. Bursting through the doors was Ace.

"WHAT!"He yelled
"Ah there you are!"I said happily
"THERE'S NO MORE LEFT?!?"
"Calm your tits Ace, there's still meat left. I couldn't find you."I said
"Ah, I fell asleep on the ground."He said
I swear dropped."Of course.....anyway I wanna show you something! Look at the cover of the news!"

I gave him the newspaper, and started to read. As he read, his eyes were widening, and his grin was growing. He started to laugh.

"He's done it! That idiot has his name out there!"He said happily
"You said he had rubber powers right?"I asked
"Yeah he did. But when I first met him, it was useless. He couldn't get a hold of his powers then....but now he's just gone & bet up that Arlong guy!"He laughed."I'm proud!"

I smiled."You really care about him, huh?"
"Yeah he's my little brother! He makes me worry a lot. I wanna see him again soon.."He said dreamily
"Hey, if we ever see him, can I meet him? I wanna see what this kid brother is like!"I said
"Oh you have to meet him! I think he'll like you."He said
I giggled."Then it's settled! I will meet this Monkey D Luffy! In a way...he sort of reminds me of my little brother."
"Tsumi?"Ace asked
I nod."Yeah."

*flashback*

"TSUMI! COME ON LETS GO!"I called
"COOOOMMMIIINNNNG!"

He ran outside with a grin on his face. His big neon green eyes had the same spark, while his wavy brown hair was messy.

We ran off from the castle, and went into the Underworld down town. Even though we're royalty, we sometimes like to go out on our own, and have a walk around, and act like normal civilians. Sometimes we'd give away toys.

As we walked around, the civilians were muttering about us in Latin. Latin is the native language in the Underworld. But only some know some English. I can speak Latin, but our family mostly speaks in English.

Tsumi grabbed a hold of my 10 year old hand. He is 7, and always holds my hand, its cute.

"They're talking about us again..."Tsumi murmured
"We're fine. Come on, lets buy some sweets!"

*flashback end*
"Itami are you okay?"Ace asked
"Yeah I'm fine, why do you ask?"

He cupped my face, his thumb gliding across my cheek.

"You're crying."He said
