Chapter 8: Reborn Part 1

Kira made it back to the Party's Bar still in a very angry mood. First, Luffy tugged on her hair whom she punched. Then she wasn't allow to join Ace, Luffy and Sabo on their adventures. Kira approached the door and entered to see Makino and Tia at the bar cleaning the mugs and bottles. Tia looked up and saw Kira walk in grumbling to herself.

"Welcome back Kira," Tia smiled.

Kira looked up at Tia with an angry look on her face.

"Aunt Tia," Kira asked, "why are boys so irritating?"

Tia was confused over what Kira just said then turned her attention to Makino to see if she knew what Kira was talking about. Makino smiled as she came out from the bar and approached Kira crouching at eye level with Kira.

"I assume you met Ace, Luffy and Sabo," she giggled.

"It's not funny," Kira growled, "that strawhat boy tugged on my hair and they didn't want me to join them."

Makino placed her hand on Kira's shoulder. Kira looked at Makino still angered by what happened.

"I understand that you're upset about this," Makino assured, "but this isn't something to stay mad at forever."

Kira sighed to herself. Makino was right, she couldn't stay mad at them. However she did know how to get back at them. Later that night, Kira was staying with Makino and Tia at Makino's place. Kira quietly crept into the bathroom then slowly closed the door behind her. She looked in the mirror and stared at her hair. The hair that she felt ridiculed for. Kira thought to herself, if she had shorter hair, then they would take her seriously. Kira began to think of Ace and when he saved her from the brown bear. She blushed over his bravery and once again that feeling came back. A strong tugging feeling in her chest whenever she thought of Ace.

Kira shook her head then looked at the mirror once more with a serious and determined look on her face. She had the dagger her father gave her in her hand. Kira knew what she had to do. She took a hold of her left ponytail then sliced it off the proceeded with the other one. Kira closed her eyes taking a deep breath then opened her eyes and her eyes widen.

Kira smiled over her new look. Her once long messy black hair now was shoulder length in the same length as Ace's except she maintained her bangs that still cover her left eye. Kira felt accomplished in a way. As if she was reborn. Kira gathered her hair and went back into her room and went to sleep.

The next day Makino and Tia were about to leave to manage the bar when Kira came out looking toward them with a look of confidence. Her outfit consisted of a red midriff with black shorts and black boots. Tia looked at Kira with a shocked expression as she covered her mouth. Makino was surprised by how different Kira looked. Tia was still in shock over Kira's new haircut. Kira looked up at Tia beaming.

"What happened to your hair," Tia gasped.

"I cut it," Kira replied, "don't you like it?"

Tia looked at Kira who smiled at her until her smile slowly turned to a frown thinking she did not like her new hairstyle. Tia brushed it off and smiled pulling her in for a hug.

"Honestly," Tia smiled, "you look perfect, long hair or short."

Kira smiled as she hugged Tia tightly in her arms. Makino came up to the two then crouched down smiling.

"Your new haircut really suits you," Makino smiled.

"Thank you," Kira beamed, "I want to go back to Mt. Colubo."

"Oh," Makino questioned, "but what about what happened yesterday?"

"I've gotten over it. I won't be gone for long."
