Chapter 2: Betrayed
“What the hell were you doing hanging around a cop?!” Ace snapped at his sister as soon as they were out of earshot of the older man.
“C’mon Ace, he’s a good guy.” Luffy mewed defensively.
“That’s exactly the problem and you,” He said rounding on the green haired youth. “You were supposed to be keeping her out of trouble, what the hell was she doing at the station anyway?” He asked as they neared his car.
“Hey, it wasn’t my fault! I wasn’t even there!” Zoro answered defensively.
“Yeah~.” Luffy swooned from behind Ace. “Zoro wasn’t there and besides, it wouldn’t have made any difference, I still would have smashed the guy.” She informed him thoughtfully.
Ace fished his keys out his pocket and unlocked his car.
“What happened anyway?” He asked Luffy.
“Apparently she beat up on that dealer Arlong.” Zoro interrupted.
“I wasn’t asking you.” The man snapped as he climbed indo the driver’s seat.
“I’ll see you tomorrow Zoro~.” Luffy said, leaning against the passenger door.
She gave the fuming youth a quick kiss.
“Don’t worry he’ll get used to you, he’s just stubborn.”
“We’ve been together for months, he hates me.” Zoro hissed angrily.
“Don’t say that.” Ace impatiently started the engine.
“I've gotta go.” She gave him another quick kiss. “Later.”
She barely had the door shut before the car started moving.
“Seatbelt.” Ace mumbled as he pulled out of the car park.
“Don’t need it.” Luffy said as-a-matter-of-factly.
“Seatbelt. Now and tell me what happened.” Luffy pouted but did as she was told and put her seatbelt on.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She lied badly.
“Don’t give me that shit Luffy, you know you can’t lie to me. What happened with Arlong?” Ace asked with a sigh.
“He hurt Nami and made her cry so I beat him up.” Luffy murmured simply. Her older brother sighed heavily in response.
“That’s just like you. He had it coming but still, that damn Zoro should have been there to keep you out of trouble.”
Ace slowed the car to a stop at the traffic lights.
“Why couldn’t you have hooked up with Sanji instead? He’s much more respectable then that Roronoa brat.” The elder of the pair asked with some distain in his voice, he hated the youth.
“Hey! Leave Zoro alone. I'm not going to dump him just because you don’t like him, he’ll have to do something really stupid for me to do that.” The lights turned green and the car started to move again.
“We both know he’s already cheated on you, more then once. What more reason do you need?” She went quiet at her brother’s words. She knew it was the truth.
“If he does it again …” Her voice trailed off, she didn’t need to finish. Ace wisely dropped the subject.
“I’m not too impressed about it but Shanks will be happy you helped get Arlong off the streets.” Luffy’s face lit up at the mention of the idol.
“Shanks is at home!?” She asked happily, suddenly in a fantastic mood.
“No, he came to see me at work, we won’t be seeing him for a week, he had some business out of town.” Another pout quickly spread across Luffy’s face
“Awwww, I wanted to see him.” Ace couldn’t help but laugh at the childishness on the teen.
“He stays round at place almost every second night, you see him all the time.”
“Yeah, I know but …” She muttered quietly.
“I know, I know, you think he’s awesome.” Ace pulled into their apartment’s car park and pulled the car to a stop.
“But he IS awesome!” Luffy said defensively.
Ace turned in his chair to face his sister. “That cop from earlier, can you tell me his name?” H asked quietly.
“Rob …. Something-or-other, I can’t remember.”
“Lucci? Was it Rob Lucci?” He asked seriously.
“Yeah! That was it! Lucci!” The man went quiet.
“Luffy, can you do me a favour?” She nodded, hearing the worried tone in his voice.
“I need you to stay away from him, he may be a nice guy but he IS a cop and a damn good one, he’s even bought down a few guys I know.” Luffy looked like she was going to interrupt but Ace continued before she had the chance.
“You have to remember that the cops are after both Sabo and I and especially Shanks.” Ace had used the magic word, he knew Luffy would listen.
“Come on, Sabo gets back today, he may already be up stares.” Ace said, exiting the car.
“Yeah, ok.” Luffy mumbled, utterly defeated.
><><><><><><
“SABO!” Luffy squealed the moment the blonde man walked in the door. She launched herself at him before he could even speak.
“Great to see you too kid.” He said happily as she hugged him around the waist as tightly as he could. “So, what have my two crazy siblings been up to while I was away?” He asked, happy to finally be back in his own apartment.
“I haven’t been up to much.” Ace said from the couch, the pair had been lounging around watching TV before Sabo had arrived.
“Just working. How about you ask Luffy what she’s been up to?” The girl suddenly went tense. Sabo looked down at her, questioning painted all over his face.
“What’s he talking about Luffy?” The man asked.
“I- I don’t know.” She obviously lied.
Sabo turned to Ace, giving him a questioning look.
“She got in trouble with the cops again.” He said with a smirk, fully expecting the girl to receive another lecture.
“I’m gonna go call Zoro. I’ll see you two tomorrow.” Luffy ducked out the lounge and locked herself in her room before either had a chance to stop her.
She relaxed once the door closed with a soft click. She pulled her phone from her pocket and dialled Zoro’s number. Arguing could be heard from the next room as her two ‘brothers’ discussed her latest escapade. Luffy flopped down onto her bed, listening to ringing from the other side of the phone. After a moment she hard someone answered then hung up without saying a word.
“The hell?” Creases appeared in her brow at the cold treatment she was receiving from her boyfriend.
She tried calling again and got the same treatment.
“Dammit Zoro, what the hell!?”
She dialled the number for a third time but this time something different happened. A voice that wasn’t Zoro’s sounded from the other end of the mobile.
“Look little girl, obviously you can’t take a hint, Zoro is busy right now.” Luffy’s eyes widened in shock, she knew the voice but didn’t know from where.
“Wh- who is this?” She asked, she was getting worried about that this ‘busy’ was.
“None of ya damn business, goodbye little girl.” The call cut off with the sound of the other mobile being snapped shut.
Luffy sat there in shock for a moment before calling Zoro for a forth time. The call went straight to his message bank.
“The fuck?” She mumbled cramming her mobile into her pocket.
That was the last straw; she was going to get to the bottom of this.
Getting up off her bed she slipped on her sneakers and moved to the window. As she passed it she placed her hand on the old straw hat that hung on her lamp. Shanks had given it to her when the four of them went on a trip to the country. He told her that he grown up in that area and that that hat was his, many years ago.
It was her treasure.
She ran her finger along the red band of the hat before pulling the window open and climbing out onto the fire escape. She quietly closed her window behind her and snuck along the shaky platform but froze when she saw Sabo leaning out the open kitchen window puffing on a cigarette.
“Where are you sneaking off to?” He asked in a lowered voice.
“I wasn’t sneak-” He looked up at her with that familiar‘don’t even bother’ look in his eyes.
“Zoro’s not answering his mobile.” It wasn’t exactly the truth but it wasn’t exactly a lie either.
Sabo glanced inside, over his shoulder before he spoke.
“Go kick his ass for me but don’t be too long, you don’t want Ace to catch you again.” Luffy broke into a huge smile.
“Thanks Sabo.” She gave him a peck on the forehead and rushed down the fire escape as quietly as she could.
When she got to the bottom and started down the street she looked back up at the window. Sabo was still there, watching her. She waved up at him and he returned the gesture with the flick of a hand. Luffy turned and continued on her way down the orange washed street.
><><><><><><
Before long Luffy found herself rapping her knuckles on the door of Zoro’s small apartment, waiting for an answer.
Only silence met her. She tried again, knocking harder this time. After a moment the door opened but man she saw wasn’t the one she was expecting.
A tall youth stood there, long blonde hair fell all the way to his waist in an unreally heap.
He had a large scar of his face that started below his right eye and ended at his chin. The scar travelled over his lips left a deep cleft in the tender skin there.
Luffy recognised him but she didn’t know from where.
It took her more then a couple of moments to realise that he was naked.
“Wadda ya want?” He mumbled sleepily.
Luffy didn’t answer, all she could do was stare at his nakedness.
“Oi!” He said loudly, snapping out of her daze.
“I’m here to see Zoro and who the hell are you?” The girl asked.
“Zoro’s a little-” He glanced over his shoulder. “Incapacitated right now.”
“Who ARE you?” Luffy asked the teen again. A strange smirk spread across his face.
“Don’t ya recognise me little girl? No, I guess ya wouldn’t without my bandana.” It suddenly came to her. He usually wore a white and blue bandana over the bottom half of his face, like the bandits in all those old westerns.
“Killer.” She hissed, her voice dripping with distain.
He lifted an eyebrow. “Very good.”
He was a middle man that worked for one of the big dealers in the city, she didn’t know exactly who though. Ace had told her to stay away from him and that was one order she was fully intending on following.
“Why the hell are you here and I want to talk to Zoro!” She snapped, her patience was drawing thin.
“Why am I here? I could ask you the same thing, its past midnight.”
“Answer the question!” He gave her a look of exasperated annoyance before speaking again.
“I was invited here for a little fun and as for Zoro-” A knowing smirk spread across his face once again. “I think I wore him out a little, he hasn’t woken up yet.”
“What the hell are you on about?” She asked, not wanting to believe what her mind was telling her.
She looked past the teen into the small apartment and got a good view of Zoro’s bedroom through the open door. That’s when her heart tore in two. She saw Zoro asleep on his bed, naked and suddenly all the hints fell into place.
Luffy turned and walked away without another word.
“See ya around little girl.” Killer said before shutting the door and crawling back into bed with Zoro.
><><><><><><
Luffy wondered aimlessly down the near empty streets, not really seeing or hearing the people around her. Not many people bothered to speak to her, just a couple of drunk blokes and a dealer she had seen around. She just walked aimlessly until her mobile rang.
Her head shot up and she grabbed it from her pocket. Zoro was calling.
Flicking it open she lifter it to her ear, not saying a word.
“Luffy? You there?” Zoro’s voice asked. Luffy didn’t say anything.
“Look Luffy, I’m sorry about earlier but it wasn’t what it looked like, Killer just a friends, nothing else.” Luffy heard Killer speak in the background, he said something that sounded a lot like ‘bullshit.’ She chose to ignore it.
“You there Babe?” He asked.
“Nothing was going on between you two?” Luffy asked quietly.
“Nothing.” Zoro’s voice had perked up a little, he though he had convincer her.
“At all?” She asked in the same flat voice.
“Nothing at all.” She furrowed her brow, a look of absolute loathing spreading across her face. She smiled slightly and broke into a sadistic chuckle.
“So you can’t even admit to it?” Her voice was cold and accusing, he wouldn’t get out of this one.
“There’s nothing to admit to! Nothing happened.” He snapped.
“Why were you naked?” He fell silent for a long while. Luffy had had enough of this, she snapped her phone shut and crammed it back in the pocket.
After only moments it rang again. She answered it.
“What?” She snapped.
“Ok, something did happen, but it won’t happen again.” He admitted finally.
“You said that last time.” Her voice was quiet, distant.
“Well I mean it this time.” He said solemnly, it seemed as though he was telling the truth, just like every other time this had happened.
“I don’t want to lose you.” The tears welled up in Luffy’s eyes at the comment.
“It’s too late Zoro, you already have.”
“Wha-”
“It’s over; I don’t want to see you again.” She hung up without waiting for a response.
She kept walking down the street both anger and sadness rising with every step. She heard the familiar jingle coming from her phone that meant Zoro was calling for a third time. Her anger flared at the sound and she threw her mobile as hard as she could at the closest wall. It hit the brick with a loud clunk and seemed to just fall apart as it fell to the pavement.
Luffy kept walking, not caring about anything, least of all her phone. She only managed to go a couple of meters before she tripped in a crack in the pavement and tumbled to the ground. A fresh wave of tears burst forth at the new pain but it was still nothing compared that which she felt inside of her.
Luffy lifted herself to sit up on the cold pavement but couldn’t force herself to move further so she sat where she fell, pouring out all her pain in the form of tears.
After not too long a car pulled up along side her, she payed it no mind until she heard, through her sobs, one of its doors shut. A man crouched down next to her and spoke quietly.
“Are you ok?” The caring in his voice only made her cry harder. He reached out and rubbed her back gently, trying to calm her. She turned to look at him, still sobbing.
He was tall, well built and had a large scar on his chin but the one thing she saw above everything else was the police uniform.
“What’s your name?” He asked kindly with the most gorgeous smile she had ever seen. A small lock of his shoulder length orange hair fell over his face and he brushed it back into place.
“You’re a cop.” She mumbled, sniffing. “I don’t have to talk to you.”
“No, you don’t have to, but it would be nice if you did.” He said kindly, still gently rubbing her back. Luffy sat there staring at his sideburns, she hadn’t seen anything like them before, they covered over half of his jaw. She had to push back the overwhelming urge to reach out and poke them.
“My n- name’s Luffy.” She sniffed, her voice cracking as she spoke.
“I'm Drake, it’s nice to meet you Luffy. Come on.” He got to his feet and held out a hand to her. “Let’s get you up.” She reached out and took his hand, letting him pull her too her feet.
He led her to a nearby set of steps and motioned for her to sit down.
“Is there anyone you want me to call?” Luffy took a seat and thought about the question for a moment before she spoke again.
“Yeah, I do.” She sniffed and took a long shaky breath.
“Do you have a phone number?” Drake asked, crouching in front of her. A second policeman had gotten out of the car and now stood near them, he was only young, just a few years older then Luffy. The first thing she noticed about him was his pale pink hair.
“I- don’t have a n- number.” His brow furrowed a little at the answer.
“Do you have an address or name?” Luffy sniffed and wiped her eyes.
“His name’s R- Rob, he’s a cop, l- like you.”
“Rob…” He said quietly, thinking. “Rob Lucci?” She nodded.
“Ok, you stay here with Coby and I’ll go call him.” He gave her a smile and moved back to the patrol car, sitting in the driver’s seat. He grabbed his mobile and selected Lucci’s number. As Drake waited for him to answer he glanced over to Luffy. Coby had sat down next to her and they were chatting quietly, she had even managed a sad smile.
‘Good.’ He thought. ‘Looks like she’ll be ok.’
A/N ok, this is what im doing from now on, i'll have a chap based around Lucci then one for Luffy and so on. maybe even based around another character if they have the biggest roll at that time.
also, sorry for the short chapters, its just how i roll
