A.N. Hi guys! I rewrote this 'cause I understood that this is plain terrible, I mean the f*x?! Wtf I was thinking when I wrote this for the first time?! So if you read this story before, you can relax – this isn't going to change too much, well the plot is the same, but much better, I won't rush anything in here…
Warnings: yaoi – manxman, AU, supernatural.
Disclaimer: I'm a woman, Eiichiro Oda is a man, I'm a teenager, he's a middle aged guy, do these two sound like they're one? No they don't.
Zoro's POV
I sniffed the air; it was filled with various smells, but I didn't need to know all of the perfumes people walking around me used so I concentrated on what I was looking for. Yes, here it is, a faint smell of power, lucky me this city has a lot of supernatural creatures in it…
Well that's the reason I'm here right now, I had to move across all of the country to this city to attend the Nova Meeting, eleven active and powerful supernatural creatures were supposed to attend it and thanks to my old master now I was part of it. When I finally beat that bastard, he resigns into being passive and runs away somewhere with his lover, leaving me as his successor. Now I have to go to all of these meetings now…
I finally got out of the crowd and took my headphones off; now I can focus on my hearing and not become deaf. I heard a very silent 'bum' and turned in that way, my destination is there. I got here this evening and my friend, a fellow Nova, invited me to a bar today, he said he wants me to meet someone.
I'm always up for a drink so here I am now on my way to an underground bar, well it was more of a chain of bars, it has one owner and I'm pretty good friends with him. If you're a regular at least one of his bars you will meet him, the blue haired troll is a fun man and it's always fun with him around. And as all of his fellow trolls Franky loves building stuff, so he built all of his bars himself.
Maybe he will be here tonight? That would definitely make the club go wild. I entered the warehouse district, the clubs are usually at a port, but his city doesn't have one, so in cases like these it's in the warehouse district. I exerted my hearing again and the 'bum' got louder; I'm getting closer.
After several more minutes of walking I finally reached big warehouse that music was coming from, well at least it was supposed to be a warehouse. It didn't look much like it though, it was curved and crocked in a way that made you wonder how it's standing at all, but that's what made it so awesome, it would stand even if I threw a good punch at it, believe me, I tried.
I reached the door where a big, bulky dude with strange beard stood. "Identification."
I put my hand on the wall next to the door and left a long deep scratch, the tall troll gulped and moved away. I smirked and walked in; I love that most of creatures are afraid of vampires, it's easier when there's almost no one to bother you. Only the young ones who wanted to try out if a vampire is as strong as rumored challenge us.
I looked around the bar; there were five more scratches next to the one I left, only ware animals and vampires left them, so my friend should already be here. I didn't spot him anywhere but it wasn't strange this place was packed with supernatural creatures and this place has more than one floors.
I went to the bar and ordered some sake, the fairy at the bar quickly got me my order and I gulped down the alcohol. I turned around and looked over the bar. The mini dance floor for the ones who like to drink, dance and drink again was full of mashing and mixing bodies. The tables by the walls were half empty and I started looking over people who were sitting there.
Soon my eyes rested upon a blond man, he was sitting in a corner table and looking around confused. I took my once again full glass and paid for my drinks; let's get to know this confused guy; I approached his table. "Can I sit here?"
The blonde immediately turned his head into my direction and I got a good look of his face. He had big blue piercing eyes above them there were these ridiculously curled eyebrows and half of his face was covered in his blond hair. "There's plenty of seat around here that are empty."
I smirked at him and sat at the seat across him. "Maybe I want to sit here."
The blond leaned on his hand and pulled out a cigarette, I felt smell of human blood come from him, I took a small deep breath; the smell comes from his skin, not his clothes… He's a new turned vampire, huh. The blonde raised an eyebrow. "Then what was the point of asking me if you can sit here?"
I shrugged. "Tried to be polite? My name is Zoro by the way."
The blonde lit up his cigarette. "Sanji, really? Well you did a bad job."
I chuckled; it's fun talking with this guy. "Why? You're talking with me and even told me your name…"
Sanji looked at me with a blank expression and then started laughing. "I guess I did, your mossy way of approaching people does work out." He puffed out a big cloud smoke.
I smirked and gulped down a mouthful of sake, the blonde stared into space with blank eyes, he was lost in his thoughts and we sat like that for several minutes. He suddenly shook his head and blushed a little. "Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts, did you say anything?"
I chuckled again. "No, I noticed your spacing and waited for you to come back."
He smiled. "Thanks, so why you came here?"
I shrugged. "You looked lost and lonely, though you could use company." There's no way I'm telling him I gave in to my instincts and came here without thinking too much…
Sanji put out the remains of his burnt down cigarette into the ashtray. "It shows that much?"
I nodded. "For an experienced eye, yes. Everyone else wouldn't have noticed you at all, most of supernatural creatures are afraid of vampires, so they try not to meddle in our business too much." I thought about my friend that invited me here. "Though there are some who don't care at all."
"Well that's convenient…"
I snickered, but then I became serious. "So why you're here alone? You're still young, right? Your creator should be taking care of you, teaching you basic things."
Sanji leaned on his hand and scanned the crowd dancing in the dance floor. "Yea, I'm still only several days old, he said that it's a little test for me if I can control my senses. Though the real reason he brought me here is 'cause his mate was whining that he wants to go out of the house…"
I laughed. "Sounds like someone I know."
I felt energy star building inside of me; what's happening? It never builds up like this. Silence fell again with Sanji staring at me, I finished my drink. "What now?"
Sanji grinned. "Is your hair natural color? Or you dye it?"
I sighed; why is everyone so eager to know? Almost everyone I ever met asked me this, even in the middle of battles. "No, it's my natural color."
"Pfft, you look like Marimo."
"Trying to show off you Japanese knowledge? And if you never saw yourself in a mirror so here's a note for you – you eyebrows are curled. And as much as I can see – at the same direction."
"Moss head."
"Dart brow"
"Neandertal."
"Sanji."
We both immediately turned our heads towards the one who spoke, apparently it was Law, one of the Eleven Super Novas and mate of my best friend Luffy. The said man ran to our table and stopped. "Oh! Zoro! You already met Sanji! And you did it by yourself! It's a miracle!"
I glared at the cheerful heavenly child, most of them tend to be over optimistical, but very powerful, Law is his mate and a very powerful vampire with powers, having power for a vampire was very rare. "Shut up Luf, you know Luffy?"
The last part was mean to Sanji, but Luffy answered it instead. "Yea! He's the person I wanted you to meet! Law changed him!"
I felt my eyes widen and my gaze fell on Law; he never creates new vampires, he had done this for the fourth time in his existence. The privilege of being part of the Novas is that you can create vampires however you want it. Everyone else has to get a permission for it, or if a person was changed without permission, to pay a penalty.
My wandered to Sanji; so our meeting was inevitable? Good to know, I enjoy talking with him; I stood up. "I want another drink, anyone else?"
Sanji stood up with me. "I'm coming with you."
Luffy and Law shook their heads and we turned to the bar, but the passage between the table and bar was to narrow and our bodies touched for a moment. The moment my body came in contact with Sanji's the energy that was building up in me passed into Sanji's body and I felt his energy enter mine. My eyes widened as warm energy filled me; no fucking way, he's my mate? I looked into Sanji's blue eyes and saw the same kind of surprise I was feeling.
I took Sanji by the shoulder and brought him closer; I need to check; I quickly pressed our lips together and felt energy come from his body into mine. It wasn't really a kiss, more like touching lips, but it still shocked Law and Luffy when we pulled away. I stared into bright blue eyes by whom I was mesmerized just some time ago and they stared back; I just got bonded with this guy…
"Hey guys, what's happening?..."
I turned my head to Luffy who was watching the two of us with interest, I grinned. "It looks like I finally found my mate…"
Law's and Luffy's eyes widened at the same moment. "So, so this was bonding?"
I looked at Sanji and nodded. "Looks like we're going to be stuck together for the rest of our immortal lives blonde…"
Sanji's eyes also widened, he stared at me for several minutes and then rubbed his forehead. "Too many things happening in one week…" He said it under his noise, but as a vampire I heard it perfectly well.
It looks like Law got the knowledge under his control 'cause he threw me a key chain. "It's the keys from my house, you two can stay there from now on, I will be staying with Luffy, now that my creation found his mate. Zoro." A glint of power appeared in Law's eyes. "Don't hurt him."
I nodded and took Sanji by his hand, warmth immediately entered my body and my insides started to loosen up, I started feeling lighter and happier, I didn't want to let go of that hand at all.
A.N. So here it is, my improved version, I hope it's better than my last…
