Sanji deeply inhaled his cigarette as he flipped through the channels. Almost every show on was about finding love, having love, or losing it. Feeling fed up with it he just turned the TV off. Raising his feet he plopped them down on the coffee table and stared up at the ceiling. 'What's so great about love, the truth is any man would be happy as long as they got release there's no need for this love shit besides woman are nicer when it's just for fun.' Sanji thought as he closed his eyes.
Hearing the thud of a foot followed by a thud of a prosthetic leg Sanji got ready to hear his old man yell at him.
"Hey brat where are you!" Zeff called.
"Living room you old fart!" Sanji called back. Zeff's feet sounded their way into the living room and made a halt behind the couch. Opening his eyes he stared up at Zeff as Zeff looked down on him. "May I help you?" Sanji asked sarcastically.
"No but you can help yourself." Zeff said as he walked around the front of the couch and kicked his feet off the table. "It's about time you got yourself a wife."
"My view of wife or yours, because if you want your view you'd have a better chance of making me gay." Sanji said.
"Don't be like that you idiot." Zeff lectured. "It is this family's history that the first born male marries a kitsune."
"Old man those things are long gone." Sanji laughed. "When will you understand that? Besides I'm not even sure they existed in the first place."
"You've never seen one because you doubt their existence." Zeff scolded.
Rolling his eyes Sanji took another inhale of his cigarette. Breathing it out Sanji sat up straighter. "I doubt their existence because I've never seen one."
"And it's thinking like that that made you such an ass hole." Zeff said.
"No I'm an ass hole because I've been around you too much." Sanji smirked.
"Cocky brat, In that case get out of my house." Zeff said.
Sanji coughed around his cigarette and looked at Zeff with shocked eyes. "What?"
"You heard me get out."
"You can't mean that." Sanji laughed awkwardly.
"I mean what I say and I say what I mean." Zeff said. "Until you get yourself a kitsune you are not welcomed in my house."
"Then where the hell am I going to stay?" Sanji asked.
"There's a cottage in the woods that our family had used for years, you shall stay there until you find yourself a kitsune to take as your wife." Zeff said.
"You've got to be kidding." Sanji tried to reason. Zeff stood his ground and stared Sanji down.
"I'm not the type to kid." Zeff said. "I'll take you there in two hours be ready." With that said Zeff limped off.
Sanji stood and watched Zeff's back as he left. Once the man was gone he fell back into the couch. Rubbing at his face with his free hand Sanji wondered how the hell he was going to get out of this mess.
Stubbing out his cigarette he stood up and headed towards his room. 'I can't believe that grump is actually thinking of kicking me to the curb.' Sanji thought as he opened the door to his room. Entering he pulled out his suitcase and tossed it on his bed. Turning to his closet he began to pull out his clothes and place them into his suitcase.
Once his closet was empty he turned to his dresser and took everything out of it and repacked them into his suitcase along with things like his tooth brush, tooth paste, hair brush, razor, shaving cream and all the spare cigarette and lighters he had hidden in the house. All the essentials. Pulling out another bag he filled it with some spare blankets, a pillow and a photo album. He also packed his computer and chargers. Looking around the room he made sure he didn't forget anything. After some thought he remembered one thing he could not leave behind. Reaching under his mattress he smiled sadly at it.
"You ready to go!" Zeff called from the bottom of the stairs. Sighing he placed the item in his pocket and looked around the room one last time. It had been his for the past nine years. It held many memories but none of them really big. Taking a deep breath he grabbed his bags and left the room. Closing the door behind him he prepared to never see that room again.
'This kitsune shit must just be a way for him to tell me he no longer wants me around.' Sanji thought. 'Fine if that ass no longer needs me I'll leave, he'll just come crawling back when he misses my cooking.'
Dragging his luggage down the stares he smiled sadly at all the family pictures of him and Zeff that were on the wall. Frowning he turned away and rushed to the car. After he practically ripped the trunk off it's hinges he threw in his things and slammed it shut.
"I get that you're pissed but that's no reason to take it out on my car." Zeff said sternly.
"What ever." Sanji said as he sat down in the passenger seat and yanked the door closed. Zeff sighed as he opened his own door and sat down. Turning on the car they drove in silence. Sanji just stared out the window not saying a word let alone ever sparing a glance at Zeff. To fill the silence Zeff turned on the radio. The music filled the car but not the betrayal that Sanji felt in his heart.
Sanji watched as the tall buildings of the city became the small houses of a town and then the trees of a forest. The road changing from pavement to gravel. They came to a stop at the beginning of a trial. Zeff got out of the car and opened the truck. As he pulled out Sanji's things Sanji slowly crawled out of the passenger seat. Zeff then brought Sanji's things over to him. After placing them at his feet Zeff pulled out a map.
"This is the map of the area. Stay out of the areas that are outlined in red and if you follow this trail you'll get to the cottage." Zeff said as he scratched at his neck with his free hand. Sanji nodded and took the map from Zeff. After a quick glance he stuffed it in his pocket. "Okay then, I'll um come visit." Zeff said as he got back into the drivers seat.
Sanji watched as his old man drove away in the car. Once the car was out of sight he picked up his bags and began to walk down the trial. Ah he went further in the trees got thicker and blocked out more and more light. The path he was walking on was growing new grass so no one must have been there in a while.
Thinking back he tried to remember the last time he was here. It had been just when he first got picked up by Zeff. He wouldn't talk to anyone and felt awkward and shy. Zeff had brought him here in order to learn the family's history and to hopefully open himself up.
He didn't remember much of it but he did remember making a friend. All he could remember of that friend though was that he had made a promise to him to one day return.
"I wonder if that was all in my head though, I mean the only building out here is the cottage and then there's no house for miles." Sanji laughed to himself. As the path curved it came into a clearing. The trees became less dense and the sun shone through and created a circle around a single house. The wild life had started to grow on it giving it a more abandoned feeling then one of a cozy cottage.
Setting his bags aside he grabbed the vines that had covered the door and pried them off. After the vines were out of the way he was able to open with door with a little force. Picking his bags up Sanji brought them in and set them on the dusty floor. The dust in the air making him cough.
The cottage was small with just enough space to be comfy. It had two bedrooms one bathroom and an open living/ Kitchen/ dining room. The bedrooms each had a bed and dresser. The open room was divided into two parts. One side had a fridge, oven, sink, a few counters and a table with chairs. The other side had a book shelve, couch and a desk. One drawer on the desk was locked while the others remained open.
Walking around the house he looked for a light switch. The only thing though was a lantern. Pulling out his lighter he light it up and hung it on a handle he found on the wall.
Now that he could see better he scowled. The wild life had also started to grow inside and spider webs hung in every corner. Cringing at the thought of spiders he walked to the closet to look for a broom. Once he located it he began to sweep up he webs and dust. When he came across some plants he'd pull them out and toss them in the garbage can that was placed by the sink in the open kitchen. After the floor was all cleared he took a rag and started to clean off the surface areas.
He had run into a few spiders and would kill them by throwing his shoes at them. He found some curtains in the bathroom closet and after beating the dust out of them he hung them up. Seeing that the sun had begun to set Sanji went outside and peeled the plants off the house. Once the plants were out of the way he was able to open the windows and allow fresh air in.
By the time that was done the sun had set and the only light was coming from the lanterns and the moon and stars. Feeling tired he walked back into the house and lied down on the couch. Checking his phone for the time he sighed. It showed that it was a little after nine. Standing up he headed to the bath room. After opening the door he closed it and chose to piss outside.
'Guess I'll have to clean the bathroom tomorrow.' Sanji thought as he lied back down on the couch. He would have preferred to use the bedroom instead of the couch to sleep but its state was just a little better then the bathroom. 'I wish I was back home.'
With that sad thought Sanji drifted off into a deep sleep.
When he woke up he felt more pissed then sad. Cracking his back Sanji stood and walked over to the fridge. It was completely empty of all edible food. All that it held was moldy food in the far back and rotten milk. 'Guess I'll have to clean here too.'
Opening a cupboard Sanji grabbed a glass and went to the sink. Turning on the tap on he frowned as nothing came out. Placing the glass on the counter he decided to look for a clean water source. But first he needed to get out of his clothes and into clean ones.
After changing his clothes he pulled the map that Zeff gave him out to look over it. There was a small pond that was not very far from him then all the other water sources were in the danger zone. Putting the map back in his pocket he grabbed a knife, some buckets that he found outside along with and some water purifier and headed in the direction of the pond.
There were two paths. One led to where Zeff ditched him then the other led in the direction of the pond. It took about fifth teen minutes to reach the pond. Placing the bucket down he glanced around the area. There were a few animals the stood at a distance watching him. Manly rabbits, snakes and a few deer. Nothing too dangerous.
Picking up one of the buckets Sanji filled it with water and placed in a few drops of the purifier. Doing the same to the other he waited for them to set. In the mean while he pulled off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pants. Stepping into the water he enjoyed the feeling of it.
Walking further into the water he looked around for any sign of fish. Feeling some scales brush against his leg made him smirk. Walking back out of the water he looked for a good branch that he could use. Grabbing onto a lower branch he used it to help pull himself up. Placing his feet against the tree he began to climb. Once he reached the branch that he wanted he flung a leg over and sat on it.
Pulling out his knife he grabbed onto the branch and began to cut. It took longer then he thought but he was able to get it. As he swung his leg back over he lost his balance and fell. A few branches slowed down his fall but many of them broke off. Rubbing his back he stood up and pulled the twigs out of his hair.
Moving the branches under him he looked for his knife. Once he located it he used it to sharpen one end of his stick and make it into a spear. He also removed any pieces that stuck out. Standing up he placed the knife in his pocket again and moved over to the pond. Knowing that the deeper he went the more fish Sanji pulled off his pants.
Walking into the water he went in until the water reached his knees. There he silently waited for some fish to wander close. Feeling one brush against his leg he stabbed his spear into the water. Pulling the spear back out of the water he watched as the fish at the end of it twitched before falling still. Walking back over to his buckets he placed it along the top of them so that the fish didn't touch the ground.
Heading back to the tree he fell out of Sanji picked up the sticks that had fallen with him and brought them over to his buckets. At his buckets though stood a fox. But not just any fox. Its fur was green and instead of just one tail it had three. On closer inspection there was a tan line that ran down its middle tail.
The fox was sniffing at his fish and looking at it curiously. Rubbing at his eyes he made sure that he wasn't seeing things. Opening his eyes again the fox was gone. Shaking his head Sanji ran over to where he saw the fox. Looking around he saw no sign that there was ever any animal there.
'Must be my mind playing tricks on me.' Sanji thought as he started up a fire to cook his fish. After he had cooked and ate his fish Sanji put out the fire, picked up his things and headed back to the cottage. On his way he picked some edible berries and fruit from the trees.
Once back he rolled up his sleeves and got ready to finish cleaning. It took him all day. By the time he was done the cottage was once again a livable place. The bed was made the bathroom no longer made him want to vomit and the fridge had at least some edible food and the pluming was somewhat fixed. He'd have to call Franky to fix that later.
Picking out an apple Sanji threw himself on the couch when someone knocked at the door. 'Strange no one should be out here.' Sanji thought as he stood up and headed for the door. Opening it he was surprised at what he saw.
"Old man?" Sanji asked.
"Yeah." Zeff nodded as he walked past Sanji into the cottage.
"What are you doing here?" Sanji asked.
"I brought you some food and other necessities." Zeff said as he held up the shopping bags in his hand. "The place looks great, I can't believe it stayed in tact for all these years."
"It didn't." Sanji whispered bitterly.
"So anything happen yet?" Zeff asked.
"Like what?"
"Like seeing any sign of your kitsune." Zeff said.
"Nope just dust clouding my scenes." Sanji said which earned him a look from Zeff.
"Well I'll be back in a week to check on you again." Zeff said as he placed the bags on the table and turned to leave. "Well then see you."
Sanji watched as Zeff left once again. When the door was closed he waited a while then kicked a chair across the room. "Fucking old geezer."
Pulling the first bag over to himself Sanji emptied it and put the things away. He did the same with the other bags then tossed them under the counter in case he needed them later.
He knew he should eat something but he was feeling too upset. Putting his apple back in the fruit bowl Sanji then left for his room and lied on the bed. Glaring at the ceiling only made him feel even more pissed. Rolling to the side he stared out the window instead. Outside a bush moved and a pair of eyes stared out of it.
Blinking he was shocked when they didn't disappear. Standing up Sanji ran outside without even bothering to put on his shoes. He could see the bush and went behind it. Slowly he snuck his way forward.
'What the hell am I doing?' Sanji thought as he stopped behind a tree. 'It could be a dangerous animal.' Peering around the tree Sanji made up his mind. Carefully he crept his way closer to the bush. A green tail fell against the ground followed by two more.
Sneaking closer Sanji grabbed the tails and pulled them out. The creature wiggled under him and tried to get away but Sanji held it tight. Picking it up Sanji carried it into the cottage and threw it in the bathroom. Closing the door he leaned a chair against it so that the animal wouldn't be able to force its way out. Running back outside he peered through the bathroom window.
The fox was scratching at the door and jumping up on the sink and toilet. Its three tails knocking things over. As the shock sunk deeper into his soul he fell to the ground. His hands gripping into his hair. 'This can't be real.' Sanji thought. 'That thing in there can't be a kitsune.' Raising back up Sanji glanced at it one more time. 'Please tell me this is a joke.'
