Thanks so much for reviewing! Rising Solstice, you are one crazy person! Thanks also to MewPirate, luckyblackcat13, and Heihachi-Katayama! You guys rock!! Okay, I know I updated pretty fast, but this is not my standard. Just to let you know. I normally take longer than this so just be forewarned. Well, here you go, next chapter!


He turned to the rest of his nakama. "We have to get him to the medical bay, but as carefully as possible." he told them."Here, Sanji help me. Grab his feet." They could tell he was trying very hard to stay calm, and Sanji hurried over to assist him.

"1, 2, 3." and they picked him and slowly carried him out and down the stairs to Chopper's room. Nami grabbed the door and pulled it open so they could get inside. Zoro's face was turning a little pale and his breathing was rasped. Right after they laid him down on the bed, he immediately started seizing.

"Oi, held me hold him down!" Chopper yelled to Sanji, and then turned to Nami," Nami, above my desk are some vials, bring me the one on the far right." She ran over to the shelf and grabbed and little bottle filled with clear liquid and hurriedly brought it back to Chopper who poured some of it into a syringe. This he jammed into Zoro's arm and his movements slowed and finally stopped. Sanji and Chopper were panting slightly and Zoro lay as still as he was before.

"What...the hell...was that?" asked Sanji between pants.

"He had a seizure." sighed Chopper, returning to Brain Point," I have no idea why, but for now his condition's not stable, I need to watch him. Can you fetch me some cold towels? I'm gonna try to reduce his fever and if that doesn't work than we might have to soak him in an ice bath."

"That would use up all our ice!" complained Nami, and Chopper turned to her, angry.

"Would you rather lose all your ice, or your nakama?" She looked at the ground, ashamed.

"Right...sorry."

"Don't be sorry, just get me the towels!!" Nami and Sanji nodded and hurried out of the room right before Luffy and Usopp barged in.

"What the hell's wrong with Zoro?" They cried in unison, terror etched all over their face. Chopper looked sad.

"I don't know..." Luffy and Usopp's faces dropped too. Just then, Sanji and Nami scuttled back in, the cold pieces of cloth in hand. Chopper grabbed one and placed it on his forhead, using another to wipe the sweat off of Zoro's face. They all just stood, watching him in silence. Till they heard a sneeze. Heads whipped around until they spotted Usopp rubbing his nose and a look of terror came over Chopper's face.

"Shit, that was pepper this time, really!" And he held up little ball and a pepper shaker, " I was passing the time!" Chopper glared at him,

"Don't scare me like that, dammit!!" he cried. Nami put a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, just calm down Chopper," she said soothingly, petting his furry back, "Just concentrate on Zoro." Chopper looked up at her, a grateful smile on his face, and he turned back to Zoro, serious again.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

A couple hours passed and Chopper only managed to get Zoro's temperature down a degree. He was now hot and sweaty, breathing short, ragged breaths, twitching slightly every now and then.

"Nami, get the ice in the tub. Sanji, fill it slightly with cold water, we need to soak him." They nodded, worriedly but understandingly, and they hurried out of the room to do their respective jobs. Luffy had been sitting by Zoro's side the whole time, his hands clutching his knees as he watched his first mate suffer from some unknown sickness. Usopp could see the hurt in his eyes and understood completely. It had been hard watching Kaya grown up, sickly, weak, and pale, stuck in her parents house, only aided by the devious Kuro that would eventually try to kill her. Except this time was different. Usopp didn't have to constantly see her in that pitiful form, and she only was weak and depressed. She wasn't going to die.

Zoro, however, they didn't know. He was running a high fever and vomiting blood; seizing and what not. He was scared, not that he wanted to admit of course, but he knew the others were too. The roles had been switched. Normally it was Zoro saving the crew, but now it was there time to save him. Save him from what? Well, that was the problem. He looked back at Luffy who was still determined to keep his eyes on Zoro, as if he thought he could heal him just by staring. Suddenly the door banged open and caused even Luffy to advert his gaze so he could see what was going on. Sanji had arrived to inform them that the bath was ready and hurried over when Chopper beckoned him.

Together, they lifted Zoro by his head and feet and carried him out the door and into the bathroom. Nami saw them and immediately stepped out of the way so they could engorge him in the tub's icy depths. Gently they lowered him in, already managing to remove his shirt and pants, leaving him only in his jet black boxers.

Stupid ending I know. Hopefully I'll manage to update soon!
