Chapter 1

A Sudden Introduction

A huge gust of wind suddenly blew through the streets of Loguetown. People and shop fronts alike jostled Zoro as he flew by.

"Where the hell did this wind come from?" the swordsman muttered.

He'd been fighting Tashigi, but then this wind had come and blown them all away.

Zoro crashed into the ground as the wind finally started to die down.

"Now where did everybody else go?" he wondered, sitting up.

"Here," he heard a weak, quavering voice from behind him.

Turning, Zoro saw that the wind had blown all the members of the crew together. Usopp had been the one who had answered him.

"Well that was fun," laughed Luffy, getting up and dusting himself off.

Zoro stood and checked his swords.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp cry above him.

"Help!"

The crew looked up. There was something, no, there was someone in the sky!

"Help!" came the cry again.

"Who is that?" asked Sanji, craning his neck to look up.

"Whoever it is, they're falling pretty fast," muttered Zoro, "They'll kill themselves for sure."

He jumped into the path of the plummeting person and they collided in midair. The force of the collision was a little more than Zoro had expected, and they crashed into a nearby building.

Once the dust had settled, Zoro found himself under someone.

"Hey, move will you," he grunted as he started to push the person off of him.

The figure let out a small whimper as it started to move. Zoro could make out a mass of long brown hair and a black leather jacket.

"Are you hurt?" he asked the pile of hair.

A hand came up and brushed the hair out of the persons face, revealing a girl. She looked down at Zoro through glazed eyes.

"Take me to your captain," she gasped.

This startled Zoro and his body jerked up.

The girl whimpered again and fell sideways off of him.

"Oooh! An angel has fallen from the sky!" cried Sanji and rushed over to where the pair was lying on the ground.

Zoro saw Sanji coming.

"Hold it you shitty cook," he snapped, "She's hurt."

Zoro could see her clearly now. Her hair was dark and wavy and came to about half way down her back. There was a loose braid going back and down her head from behind her left ear. She wore a black leather jacket over a blue shirt and she had grey shorts on. Zoro noticed that she had two necklaces around her neck, one gold and one silver.

The girl raised her head again, reaching out her hand to grab Zoro's wrist. She seemed to not be aware of the other men surrounding her.

"Please," she panted, "Take me to Luffy."

"Huh?" said Luffy, surprised.

The girl winced as she tried to pull herself up, she didn't seem to hear him.

"I've finally found him," she whispered, almost to herself, "I need to get to Luffy."

Her eyes focused a little bit and her gaze met Zoro's.

"You're part of his crew aren't you?" she asked, sounding a little worried, "You are Roronoa Zoro?"

"Uh…" Zoro stuttered, he could feel his face turning red.

He could see the girls face full on now. She had big green eyes, filled with ready to fall tears. She looked like she was in a lot of pain. But she struck a chord in Zoro. He had never felt like this towards any woman before. He thought she was beautiful, which was impressive in and of itself, but his heart just started racing and he wasn't sure whether he felt scared or happy. He liked the way she had said his name. He quickly looked at the ground so the others wouldn't see his face.

"Please," groaned the girl again, her hand slipped and she fell back onto the ground, "Take me to your captain."

"Okay," was all Zoro could get out.

The girl smiled and pushed herself up with her hands again. Her face contorted in pain and she slumped forward. Zoro caught her before she hit the ground.

"Hey, are you going to be okay?" he asked, pulling her up.

Her eyes were closed and she looked like she had passed out.

"Well, she wanted to see you Luffy," Zoro grunted.

He picked up the girl and held her out to Luffy.

The captain came over and looked into the girls face.

Suddenly his eyes widened and a look of shock swept over his face.

He faced the rest of the crew.

"She's coming with us," he stated.

Usopp's eyes widened, Sanji looked quite pleased and Zoro concealed his grin.

Just then, they heard a voice coming in on the wind.

"Guys!"

"That was Nami-san!" swooned Sanji.

"We need to get on the Merry now!" exclaimed Usopp, seeing how far out to sea the ship was already.

"Hang on a sec," laughed Luffy.

He ran back towards the ruined building Zoro had smashed into.

"What are you doing Luffy?" asked Zoro warily.

They watched as Luffy grabbed onto a metal rafter and stretched out his arms.

Zoro saw what was coming and tightened his grip on the girl in his arms. He was startled at how much she weighed. She was light as a feather. It felt like the next gust of wind could blow her away.

The girl was resting her head on his chest. He could feel her press her face against his shirt.

"I've finally found you, Luffy," he heard the girl sigh into his chest.

Then he felt her muscles relax. She must have lost consciousness again.

Just as this happened, Luffy's body shot back and scooped up the four of them and they were catapulted, screaming, out to the Merry.

"Damn you, Luffy!" shouted Usopp as he landed heavily on the deck, "You're trying to kill us!"

"Oh, sorry," mumbled Luffy, getting up.

"Guys," gasped Nami, running over to them, then she stopped short, "Who is that?"

She was pointing to the girl, who had fallen out of Zoro's arms and onto Sanji's lap, much to Sanji's delight.

"We've found a mystery woman, Nami-san," said Sanji, moving his hand to stroke the girls' hair.

Zoro stood up and snatched the girl to safety before Sanji's hand fell.

"Here, Nami," Zoro held out the girl's body to the navigator, "She's hurt."

"We're keeping her," Luffy put in.

"What?" gasped Nami, then she stared, "You can't just decide to keep someone Luffy, she's not a pet!"

Luffy shrugged and walked towards the masthead.

Nami shook her head and looked back to Zoro and Sanji.

"Where did she come from?" she asked.

"She fell from the heavens," cooed Sanji.

Nami blinked.

"Well she doesn't look too hurt, I'll put her in my room for now," the navigator said.

"Nami is so wonderful when she's caring!" swooned Sanji.

Nami carried the girl into her room and put her down on the bed.

"Well, I guess I'd better bandage you up since you'll be here for a while," she muttered as she rummaged through a trunk looking for their first aid box, "I wonder why Luffy wants you to come with us?"
