Author Note: I do not own One Piece. This is before the storyline. Zoro is 11, and Kuina is 13. I'm willing to take requests.
Zoro was out training at the training ground, like he usually did in his free time. It was a little after midnight the last time he checked, so most of the other students had already left. The only other person there was his rival, Kuina. She had seemed moodier than usual earlier that day at the dojo. He had slightly noticed that she seemed like she was in pain. Kuina put her sword in place and started to leave. Zoro noticed a dark spot of blood when he was glancing over.
He went over to her to make sure that she was okay, "Kuina, are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" asked Kuina curiously.
"You're bleeding, there's a dark spot. Did you get cut?"
"Oh. No, I didn't get cut, but I should go home," responded Kuina, whose face was bright red.
"You can admit if you accidentally cut yourself. I won't tell anyone," said Zoro sincerely.
"Thanks, but I didn't get cut."
After she finished her answer, she turned and left a clueless Zoro alone wondering what was wrong with his crush, friend, and rival.
