A/N:

I do not own the video at all. Also, do NOT play the melody until I tell you to. (It's only the melody I want, not the visuals). Again, credits to the owner of the above video.

Hope you don't mind me using it and hope you guys enjoy the story! (Sorry if it's too long...)

Cheers,
Sakura

Sayeko's POV

The waves lapped onto the shore gently, the soft sand turning a golden tinge of yellow as the sun set. My little boat was anchored nearby with my sling backpack resting inside. I sat down on the soft sand, clutching my black fedora hat. "Where am I?" I asked myself.

It had been three years since that dreaded night, three years since I started wandering from island to island alone, not that I mind. I've grown used to the lack of companions. For three years, I managed to survive on my own. I taught myself to steal and pickpocket so I had money for food. I also taught myself some basic self-defense, mainly with a dagger since that was what I found most comfortable to use.

"Who the hell are you? You're definitely not from here," A sudden voice behind me made me jump.

I turned around and came face to face with a raven-haired boy. In his hand he held a metal pipe, freckles splashed on his cheeks.

Ace's POV

Her shoulder-length brown hair cascaded down in luscious waves, moving with the cool breeze as she clutched a black fedora hat close. She wore a black sleeveless coat, with her back facing me as she watched the sunset.

That was the first time I saw her. Thoughts raced around in my head, Who's she? She's definitely not from here. I needed answers. Not knowing what else to do, I asked her, "Who the hell are you? You're definitely not from here."

She turned around to look at me. She had sea-green eyes that matched her chocolate brown hair perfectly. Wait, did I just say that? "Tell me yours first and I'll tell you mine," she replied putting her black hat atop her head before she turned back to watch the sunset.

That was the first time anyone had ever said that to me. My eye twitched on annoyance at ger attitude.

I came down to sit beside her. Another first for me. I had never sat down beside anyone that way. No one wanted me to. Something told me I could trust her, that she was different from all the others. Besides, I can at least get at her more easily now. Pyher than that, that look in her eyes, I just knew I had seen it before. I just couldn't place a finger on where.

"Ace. Portgas D. Ace," I told her, "What's yours?"

"Sayeko, just Sayeko," she said, then, she turned to me and smiled, "Pleased to meet your acquaintance!"
