Chapter Two
Why Is This Happening?
~X~
Zoro stood there staring, his eyes wide with fear. There was a pain in his chest in which he never felt before. Regret? Maybe. Or sadness? No he had felt sadness before..., he wasn't sure; he was confused. Why did Sanji do that? What was the blond thinking?
He wasn't thinking then and his shoes were kicked off and his swords rested on the side near them. He pushed himself away from Robin's Many arms and leaped off the dock and into the hard flowing waters.
He could hear Nami and Robin's shouts of protest and Luffy screaming his name, but he didn't care. He had to try! That idiot cook wasn't going to die just because he felt like it. No, Zoro was going to try and save the bastard.
He swam hard, trying to fight off the water, but it was fighting back. The waves were knocking him around and he found himself falling under. "SHIT!" He screamed, his head yelling at him to stop and to go back, but he couldn't. His Nakama needed him! Sanji needed him!
A bit of gold flashed his eyes under the dark water. There! Sanji's hair seemed to be glowing under the water as if something or someone was surrounding him. It was drawing him near, giving him the strength to fight harder. DON'T TAKE HIM! DON'T! He shouted in his mind, over and over again. Reaching out as far as he could, but Sanji still seemed to be so far away.
"Help Him!"
Whispered a woman's voice. It was soft and caring.
Another strong wave pushed at Zoro, his body rolling in the ocean as he was shoved further into the water and away from Sanji.
"Hurry!" The voice screamed.
Zoro's lungs were burning, his heart was slowing, and it was getting harder to breath. But he didn't stop. The voice in his head continued to shout at him and he could see the glowing blond shine brighter. His eyes widened and once more he reached, his hand touching Sanji's floating arm, grabbing hold of the shirt and pulling him back into his chest. Another wave grabbed hold of them and pushed them further down. Zoro choked losing some air and felt the water taking them deeper. But he fought, trying to reach the surface while keeping a steady arm wrapped around Sanji.
Water splashed and his head surfaced. Zoro took a deep breath of air and called out. "Robin!" she was the only one he could see. He reached for her just as another wave hit him and Sanji and they tumbled under again.
Robin was able to see the tip of Zoro's head under the water's surface her ocean colored eyes widened in shock and she could hear his shouts. "Luffy! I see them!" she said not wasting any time. She reached out and arms bloomed one after the other, each of them disappearing when the wave hit and she fell backwards.
"No!" She said, jumping to her feet, her eyes searching everywhere for that set of green hair. When she spotted it, she let out a breath and tried again. She was relived when Luffy stretched out to help her.
Two sets of hands grabbed a hold of both Sanji and Zoro, both of them pulling the two back, out of the water as quick as they could and tossed them onto the dock. Zoro was tossed first, letting go of Sanji, the blond tumbling from his arms and his unconscious body rolling on the hard ground away from him. He gasped and spat out water, coughing. "C-Chopper check on the blond...Please!" he gasped out, his heart hammering in his chest.
The little doctor waited no time as he quickly ran to the Cook's side and began to work. Nami and Usopp right next to the little doctor ready if he needed their aid.
Luffy and Robin rushed to Zoro's side, both keeping themselves busy in fear of what may have come with their Cook.
Chopper was working hard to revive Sanji, getting all the water out from his lungs and now trying to get the blond to breath. So far there was no response...
