Aisuru sat down in her third period. She was surprised to see three girls she had never seen before there.

"A month in to school and new students?" She thought, but merely continued to pull out her Math notes.

"Hi!" One girl said. She had long, platinum blonde hair and brown eyes. She had a single dark spot under her right eye.

"H-Hi." Aisuru stuttered.

"My name is Bridget. Rakebi, Bridget." She said. Aisuru opened he mouth to speak, but Bridget continued to speak.

"The greenette over there is Almada, Yuura and the dark brunette is Rowan, Jasmine. We were stranded in Water 7 for the first month of school. I guess we'll be sitting by each other from now on, huh?" She asked. The girls behind her waved as she introduced them. Aisuru nodded.

"M-My name is Aisuru. Aisuru LeRoux." She said softly.

"Oh, are you related to principal LeRoux?" Asked Yurra. Aisuru nodded.

"He's my dad." She said in a quiet voice. Jasmine scoffed.

"Then why are you here just now?" She asked.

"M-Mom and Dad divorced when I was seven. I've been l-living with Mom in the West Blue u-until this year." She said. Jasmine scoffed again, making the poor red-head shrink.

"So, do you want to hang out with us after school, Aisuru?" Bridget asked, reaching out for Aisuru's shoulder. Aisuru's heart rate skyrocketed at the motion.

"She'll feel my scars!" She thought in a panic.

Suddenly, a hand came down between the two. Bridget and Aisuru looked up and saw Ki. Her short, brownish-blonde hair framed her face which was twisted in an intimidating expression. Her deep blue eyes were icy as she glared at Bridget.

"Keep your hands off of her." Ki said coldly. Bridget glared at Ki.

"I'm merely asking if she wants to be besties." Bridget said.

"She's got one. Me. I already warned you're group when Kate tried making a move on Zoro. This is your final warning, Bridget. Stay away from us Straw Hats or I will break your face." She said.

"Miss Naitou, to your seat, please." Said Mr Buggy. She nodded and plopped down in her desk two seats back from Aisuru and Bridget.

"You're part of the Straw Hats crew?" Bridget asked. Aisuru slowly nodded. She was suddenly weary of Bridget. If Ki had a problem with this girl, then that spelt bad news for Aisuru.

Bridget grabbed Aisuru's arm and dragged her close. Bridget's shit-brown eyes glared in to Aisuru's golden orbs.

"Luffy is mine, you got that? Nami is finally out of the way, so don't you dare try to come between me and Senpai, you got it, you little bitch?" She growled. Aisuru swollowed hard out of fear and nodded.

"Stay away from my Luffy!" She hissed and released Aisuru's arm. The poor girl wanted to cry. She had just been threatened. The very thing she came to escape.

Time skip

"I'm sorry, Aisuru. I should have warned you about Bridget and her bitches." Ki said.

"W-who are they?" Aisuru asked as they headed towards the roof to meet the others.

"They're the school whores." Ki said. Aisuru blinked at her. She ran her hand through her hair.

"The only guys in the school they haven't gotten with are Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Law. But that's because Aka said that if they tried to go for him, she would steal some of her Uncle's drug supply, put it in their lockers and tell principal LeRoux and have them expelled." Ki said.

"They got Sanji?" Aisuru asked softly.

"He got played by them. If you ever hear any bad whispers about him, it's their fault. Sanji was dating Jasmine and she wanted to sleep with him, but he refused because it wasn't "the gentleman thing to do" as he said. Jasmine had a fit and broke up with him, then told everyone at school that he abused her. She even did make up bruises to make it believeable. While your dad had Sanji in his office, Nami and I waited for the right moment and pushed Jasmine in the fountain, washing off all of her "bruises" and proving Sanji's innocence. But some idiots still believe that he actually hit her. As if Sanji would ever hit a girl." Ki scoffed.

"Poor Sanji." Aisuru said. Ki sighed.

"Most of it has blown over though. Thank god." Ki said.

"And what about the Kate girl you mentioned?" Aisuru asked.

"After all the stuff with Sanji was over, one of their other group members, Kate, attacked Zoro. Zoro was waiting for me by the fountain after school so we could walk home together since we had started dating just before Jasmine had her fit. While he was waiting, Kate came over, sat in his lap and tried to force herself on him. She forced him in to kissing her and she probably would have taken it farther if I hadn't shown up. Zoro thought I was going to accuse him of cheating on me, and then he had to talk me out of drowning her. So I just broke her nose and told her if she touched him ever again, I'd break the rest of her face." She said.

"So... where is Kate now?" Aisuru asked with paranoia lacing her voice.

"She moved out to South Blue. Probably because she was afraid I was going to beat her pretty." Ki said. Aisuru tried not to giggle at the mean statement, but it did sound like Kate did deserve the beat down.

"Hey, girls. What's up?" Usopp asked as they approached. Kaya was sitting in his lap reading a book, but she looked up to greet her friends.

"Aisuru had a run in with Bridget and her shits in third period." Ki said.

"They're back?!" Nami asked. She scooted closer to Sanji and the blonde wrapped his arm around her.

"And it looked to me like after Mr. Buggy made me sit down, Bridget threatened her." Ki said. All eyes were on Aisuru. Aisuru shifted uncomfortably.

"What did she say?" Luffy's voice came. Everyone looked up at him. He stood up from his seat and walked over to Aisuru. She took a step back.

"Luffy-" Ki started.

"Ai-chan. What did she say to you?" He asked. Aisuru looked away, the dark look in his eyes scared her. She felt Luffy grab her hands. His grip was gentle, yet firm.

"Ai-chan. Tell me." He said, his voice soft, yet demanding. Aisuru swollowed hard and forced herself to look in to his dark brown eyes. They were filled with anger and worry.

"She... she told me that Luffy was hers and to stay away from him." She said, barely loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Great. She's targeting Luffy now." Nami huffed angrily.

"When will that girl ever learn? After what her group did to Sanji, why would any of us want to be anywhere near them. Do they not remember Kate or something?" Usopp asked. Kaya sighed and shook her head.

"Well, I guess the rest of us will just have to keep close to Luffy. And Aisuru, too, since it seems Bridget veiws her as a threat." Kaya said.

"Though you can't blame them for feeling threatened." Nami said.

"What do you mean by that, Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Well, just look at how cute Aisuru is! She's like an adorable little puppy! If I didn't know that Sanji was loyal to me, I'd feel threatened, too. She's officially my cute little sister!" Nami said with a proud smile. Aisuru blushed.

"You guys really think I'm cute?" She asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, you're pretty cute, Ai-chan." Luffy said with a bright grin. Aisuru felt her face turn as red as her hair.
