You are packing now the things that you will be needing for the trip on the mountain hiking. Yeah you read it right, a FREAKING MOUNTAIN HIKING, you were happy because you have find the way to bring them back home and you search the place and the result shows it will be a three hours walking up there. Apparently Mountain SAGIRU is the fourth tallest here in japan. The shrine is in the heart of the mountain and you need to walk up there to see it. Your lucky because it's still summer so it will not be slippery to walk up there. You rented a van to bring you guys there because it will be a rocky road. (Like it's said in the last chapter the mountain's name is just a made up name.)

The guys are waiting for you in the living room they are finish preparing their things they will be needing for the hiking.

Last night was very memorable because you have a movie marathon for the whole night. The guys suggested it because it will be their last night with you. You feel sad about that but you just said to your self it will be the best for you to bring them back. Even it will be hurt.

You guys watch Harry Potter series that you downloaded in the internet. You guys sleep at 2:00 am in the morning. The guys sleep in one room because probably it will the last time that they will be together.

You climb down from the stair and you see the guys are exploring the house for the last time. You sighed sadly at that. Well the truth is that you will be lonely again because Liana and Angel got into misunderstanding and you cannot even contact each of them. They always off their phone. You are really sad because it seems your friendship will fall apart.

You sighed and come closer to the guys. They notice you and turn towards you.

"Guys? Are you ready?" You ask them while smiling a little.

They nod at you slowly. They have this solemn expressions. You sighed because of this.

"Come on guys, smile a little will ya? This may be our last day together, we can make it memorable you know. Let's spent the time we are together, every last minute." You tell them while purely smiling at them.

They stop being solemn and stare at you shockingly. This is the first they see you smiling purely at them. They always see you smiling evil to them, smirking, or frowning at them when you are scolding them.

You blink at them because they are staring at you with mouth gaped faces. What the hell? These guys. You thought frowning.

"Oi, stop that a fly will enter your mouth." You grumble at them and look away because they are still staring at you.

They snapped out from their fantasies and laugh awkwardly.

"Well.... Let's go now y-n!!" Ace said happily to ease the atmosphere. You nod at that.

"Yosh! Let's go guys!!" You chirped and then you got out from the house to start the trip. I hope it will be happy. You thought sadly.

Fast forward~

You arrive now at the Mount Sagiru, you would say it's a creepy mountain! Well, the forest here have so many tall big tree that a sunlight cannot even light the forest. Luckily you brought a large flashlight. The van is park at the entrance of the mountain. You have a guide to tell you the do's and don't s so that you will be safely go down and up. Damn it, i forgot to search what is the forest look like. You thought angrily. The truth is that you are really scared to go but it's for the guys. So you will just hold on.

You stare scared at the mountain. The hair at the back of your hair is standing because of goosebumps. While the guys really look excited. They are looking forward for the hiking. Even Katakuri is really looking excited. 

"Ah sir? Are you sure this is the forest? I mean it's really look like abandon, are you sure there is really a shrine there?" You clarify to your guide after he finish telling you the policies.

The guide smile at you. "Of course maam! You will see the beautiful shrine there at the heart of the mountain!" The guide tell you happily.

"Is there a ghost in here, right?." Luffy ask the guide. He said that he will have a ghost hunting since it's a creepy mountain. Ace and Sabo will also join him.

"Yes sir! I heard that there is plenty of ghost roaming around, you will see a headless ghost, floating ghost and many more." The guide said to Luffy like it's just a normal thing to say.

"WHAT?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? HOW THE FUCK IT'S A TOURIST SPOT?!?!?" You shriek, the guys and the guide jump because of your loud voice.

How can a small woman could scream loudly like that? The guys and guide thought in wonder.

"Are you scared, y-n chan?" Shanks innocently ask.

You turn your head fast to him and narrow your eyes.

"OF COURSE NOT!! I JUST ASK WHAT WRONG WITH ASKING?!?!?" You scream at him and you see shanks hide behind Mihawk. Who stare at Shanks in a irritated expressions. Women are really scary. Shanks thought in fear.

"Y-n san calm down." Cora-chan comfort you while he is smiling nervously.

"Yeah, don't shout woman. You are hurting my ears." Zoro responded while frowning at you. You just roll your eyes on him.

"Girlie, you can cling on me when you are scared, i will be happy to hold you." Doffy commented while grinning.

You scowl at him. "No way, whatever i will just hold on." You said bravely while pointing yourself. "I am not scared." You added.

The guys sighed and shake their heads, amused. You eye brow twitch at that. You pout and turn away from them.

"Then, i will show you how brave i am!!" You said and starting to walk but a hand grab the collar of your shirt and you see croco-chan. You frown at him. He just smirk at you.

"Little girl, don't walk first you will get lost you know, you are tiny it will be hard to find you, so stay close with us." Croco-chan said to you while looking at you amuse at your antics.

"It's y-n! Also, don't make fun of my height! I am tall for an average of a teenage girl!" You growled at him. " You are just too tall!" You added. He just chuckle at you. (You can adjust the height if you want.)

"Yeah, yeah. Shrimp don't be stubborn." Eustass commented. "No need to act brave we know you are scared." He followed up said. Smirking.

"Tch." You grumble you just roll your eyes from him.

2 hours later

You said earlier that your brave, well you take it back. You are literally clinging to Marco right now. You guys are currently now walking in the forest. The guide said that there is a signages that will guide you towards the shrine. Walking in the front are Ace, Sabo, and Luffy who is holding the flashlight that you bring.

Unknown to you, Marco is smiling smugly to the guys and pointing your hand that is holding his arm. The guys are scowling at that. Especially Law, Eustass, and Doffy.

"Are we there yet?" Zoro asked while he is putting his arm at the back of his head.

You reach your phone from your pocket to check the time. And damn it, it was dead battery. You muttered curses on that. Still holding on Marco.

Sabo is holding the map that the guide give it to you. Since the ASL brothers volunteer to walk in the front, you give it to them. Zoro even want to hold it but you are fast to decline. (You know what i mean)

"Well, we are now in the six guide towards, means we are near to the shrine—" Sabo stop and realize that you guys will be away from another. The guys stop also walking. Since you are busy looking around if there is no ghost. Your face collide with someone back. You see Mihawk. Luckily you are still holding to Marco. If not you will fall into your butt. Then you see the guys also stop walking.

"What's wrong guys?" You ask still holding on marco. You heard them sighed and turn towards you. You jump on that because they turn towards you at the same time. You awkwardly turn away while whistling.

"Miss y-n." Mihawk called you. Your turn to him with a confuse face.

"Yes?" You replied still confuse. You see that they are looking on each eyes like they are communicating.

"Y-n swan when we reach the shrine you know that we will go back home right?" Sanji reminded you not looking at you.

"Yes, i know. What's the problem guys? You know that is the reason why we got here right." You tell him still confuse.

"Well y-n ya it means that you will be alone again. There will be a gap for  the both of us." Law sadly stated.

You blink on that and you sigh.

"Guys, come on i told you not to worry about me, i will be okey. Think about your hom—." You were cut off because shanks punch a tree beside him.

"Stop saying that you will be okey!!! Don't you think that we didn't hear you cry every night because your friends are ignoring you!!! Stop hiding your pain!!" Shanks suddenly shouted at you and you he is narrowing his stare at you but you see his eyes are getting wet.

You got shock on that. How did he know about that? Did my sobbing are really loud? You ask your self. You sighed sadly. You remove your arm from marco and go closer to shanks.

"Shanks, please don't cry. I will be alright, did we really need to argue for this? I promise you guys that i will bring you home you know, i cannot tie you here with me. You have people waiting for you." You said while cupping his face to turn his gaze to you. You put your forehead against him. Closing your eyes. "Please don't cry." You added. Then you wipe his tears and lean backward. He nod his head and you remove your hands.

You turn towards the guys and you see them also crying quietly. You can feel yours eyes is watering also.

"You jerks are making me cry. I told you we will make this day memorable ." You stated. "Come on, let's continue our walk so that you will go home." You follow up said.

You turn around and you have a face to face with a pale face with a bloody mouth. You blood run out. A ghost.

"AHHHHH!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!" You scream and run away fast you failed to notice the guys called you.

"Wait y-n sa—."

You run away fast you did not realize you got away from them. Then you suddenly realize that you are alone and the guys are not with you. Your leg shake and you fell. No... no way... i'm alone in this place. Is this my punishment for being so bad. But i'm not really that bad. You did not realize you are sobbing and you fell and hug your knees. I miss you mom and dad. You thought sadly.

Then you hear a footsteps that stop in your front. You raise your head and see ace who is shyly smiling at you.

"Ah y—." He was cut off because you suddenly hug him tight. He catch you before you both fall. You sobbed on his arms and you can feel he is awkwardly patting your back.

"It's okey y-n san, let it out." Ace comfort you.

"I thought *hic* i will be *hic* alone." You sobbingly said. You hear ace take a deep breath and he lean backward to stare at your face.

"Don't cry y-n, i'm here now." Ace stated. "Also when we are looking for you we accidentally find the shrine, the guys are now there waiting for us." He added. "Come on now." He hold your hand and guide you. You tighten your hold on him and follow him. You wipe your tears.

Then you reach the shrine and you see the most beautiful shrine you ever see. It's really in the heart of the mountain. You can even see the whole Tokyo.

"Wow, the sight are so gorgeous." You look around and the guys go near you and raining you questions.

"Where have you been??"

"We are look everywhere for you."

"I'm glad you are okey girlie."

And many more questions thrown to you.

"Guys, guys, i'm okey now." You surely said to them. The ace come forward.

"Guys, did you know y-n was—." You put your hand in ace's mouth shutting him up.

"Ace, i swear—." You could not continue what you will said because you notice something. The guys also where you are staring and you guys see a little girl is standing beside the shrine.
