Chapter 22:Still here

Ace pov
"Ne, I'm gonna go out & grab some final supplies."I called out
"Oh okay, I'd come, but I gotta do some paper work."Itami said
"Thats fine, Itami. I'll be back soon."I said, kissing her forehead

I walked off the ship & started heading back into Aki town. I grabbed out the shopping list that Itami got me, and read through it.

'Jeez there's so much. Maybe I should've taken some people with me. Oh well, I could always get the shop people to help me.'

I carried on, and just decided to grab everything. I saw a alley short cut to the towns food market, and decided to go that way.

'Seems harmless.'

"E-excuse me..I'm lost."A woman in a black cloak called out, running over to me
"Oh, where are you going?"I asked
She stared up at me with familiar yellow eyes."Oh nowhere. Just came here to grab you."
"What?"

In a flash, she took her hood off, and shot a gun at me. I hissed in pain, and noticed that it was sea stone.

'F-fuck.'

She giggled."Long time no see, my dearest."

I was about to run, but I had blacked out as she tranquilized me with a needle.

*later*

I groaned, slowly waking up. And saw that I was sea stone cuffed to a chair. I couldn't move.

'W-what?!'

I heard high heels walk over to me. She was concealed in the darkness, but soon revealed herself to me.

I glared up at that Marcy woman, Marcy simply smiled wickedly at me.

"Reunited at last, my dearest."She hummed out
"You're supposed to be dead. I watched Itami kill you."I hissed
"Ahhh....yes that. Demons have two hearts darling. She only ripped out my demonic heart, and didn't grab my human heart."Marcy explained with a sigh.
"What...what is it that you want with me?"I huffed

She stared at me in the eye, her hands on my lap.

"Just a tiny...little thing."She said, her hand gliding up my body."Just..you. All of you."

Third pov
Marco charged over to Whitebeards office, a note in his hand.

'Shit this is bad, yoi! This is really, really bad!'

Marco hurriedly knocked on the door, and heard a loud:"Come in." From the inside. Marco strides into the Old mans office.

"Marco? What's wrong, my son?"Whitebeard asked

Marco handed the note to Whitebeard.

"Its Ace. He's been kidnapped by that Spider lady from before."

Whitebeard read the note, and started grumbling.

Then, the door flew open, revealing Itami.

"I-Itami!"Marco gasped
"Its true isn't it? He has been kidnapped by Marcy."She demanded
Whitebeard let out a sigh."Yes, Itami. He has been."

A shadow was over Itami's eyes, her lips set in a straight line.

"Let me see the note, please."She said with no emotion

Marco shakily gave Itami the note. Her eyes (or well, lack of eyes) scanned quickly over the fine print, her locked away anger slowly building up.

"You thought I was gone huh? Well, you thought wrong. I have my demonic heart gone, but not my human heart. If you want Ace back, then Itami & I will have a death match. DON'T Bring company, otherwise I might have to kill my Ace..precious little soul he has. You will find me in the cave out by the town, but beware, don't think that this task will be easy....Itami."

She dropped the paper, her fists balled. She stared at Whitebeard & Marco with emotionless, yandere eyes.

"May I grab him?"She asked, and didn't even bother in waiting for a answer, and left.

She walked on, and grabbed her cloak. She pushed past people, murmuring out a cold:"Sorry.", and moved on. As soon as she stepped off the ship, she ran off at high speed, leaving a trail of deep foot prints in the ground.

Meanwhile back on ship...

"Pops we need someone to go with her! S-she's gonna go crazy, yoi!"Marco pleaded
"We can't stop her, Marco. Did you see her eyes before?"
"Y-yes.."
"When she's in that state, she won't listen unless it involves Ace. She's shut down completely, and now...we just have to hope that Itami will come back with Ace."
"I'm..I'm worried about her, Old man, yoi."Marco sighed
"I am too. But she will come back...hopefully."

Back on Itami's side, she had already found Marcy's hide out. She sped through, almost as if she knew where she was going. She kept on setting off the traps, but she would  dodge, and carry on.

"Ahhh...our guest has come, my love."Marcy whispered to him

She stood up from where she was kneeling, and got herself dressed. She winked at Ace before leaving.

Ace himself felt dead. She had made him go through hell. She tortured, and sexually played with him. He just...didn't know what else to feel.

Tears slipped out of his eyes, his lips slightly parted as he stared at his naked self.

He felt like that there's no way, that he'll probably live this down.

"I.....Itami...Itami....please..help me."He sobbed
