On the way to Nami's house was very silent between the two guys. Zoro was watching Sanji's every movement cautiously , like a security camera. Sanji felt very uneasy, and looked back a few times only to find a pair of green orbs glaring at him. " what's with the sudden mood change?" Sanji tried to sound friendly but Zoro didn't reply him and just kept on glaring at him. "this is getting annoying…" "hey! What's with the attitude?" Zoro shocked by the sudden outburst. "I mean, is something bothering you?" this time Sanji used a more calm voice. "where are we going?" Zoro asked in a annoyed tone.
" We're just going to my friend's house to discuss about a Christmas party, what are you so tensed about?" Sanji explained plainly. "Ouu….sorry… I thought… never mind" Zoro apologized and looked at the ground which was covered in snow. Sanji just sighed and shook his head. They continued to walk in silence. Suddenly Sanji stopped and looked behind. "what's wrong?" Zoro confused with the sudden action. "Someone's following us" Sanji looked around but found nothing. "it's nothing" started to walk again.
A few miles later, at the corner of his eye, he could see a man in a black coat was definitely following them, he quicken his footsteps pulling Zoro with him. "Hey! What's with the rush?" Zoro was very confused but also quicken his pace to prevent from falling down. "we're here". They arrived at an orange house, neatly decorated with lights. Sanji quickly knocked the door. "Nami-Swaaaan!" Zoro raised an eyebrow as Sanji's eye turned into heart shapes "weird…" . "Ah! Sanji-kun! You're on time." An orange haired girl opened the door. "Come in~" "Haii! Nami-swaan!". Before he closed the door he saw a glimpse of the man in black and frowned.
"hey Sanji!" a black hair monkey like boy with a scar under his left eye jumped up to greet him. "hey luffy." Luffy's eyes immediately darted to the boy next to Sanji. "Ne! Ne! Sanji! Who's the boy with green hair?" he moved around Zoro like discovering a new item. " he's Zoro, a boy I found yesterday, he's staying with me for a while". "Zoro? Nice name! I'm Luffy! Nice to meet ya!" luffy grinned widely. "nice to meet you too" Zoro has never seen someone grin so wide.
"what's with all the commotion?" a boy with a long nose walked out from the bathroom." Hey usopp! Come and meet Zoro! He has green hair!" Luffy ruffled Zoro's green hair "don't make fun of my hair!" Luffy just laughed. " Wow! Is this really your real hair color? Or is it dye?" Zoro glared at him "Well,having such a long nose isn't natural either" "hey!" the gang laughed "he got you good, Usopp! I like you Zoro! " Luffy patted Zoro on the back. "hmph! "
"Ara, what a cute kid." A girl with jet black hair chuckled.
"Robin- Chwaaaan!"
"Cook-san"
"Does he do that all the time?"
"it's a disease never to be cured"
"ou.."
"Ah! Robin, you're here"
"Robin!"
"Am I late?" Robin's face wore a constant smile. "no, not at all, we're just about to start. Come in" They settled around with drinks, (I'm going to try something different, give me some feedback ^^)
Nami: ok, everyone is here and unfortunately no one was late.
Usopp: oi oi oi, what does that suppose to mean?
Nami: anyway, let's start the meeting.
Usopp: don't ignore me!
Nami: *takes out a notebook* last time we decided who is in charge of what right? So let's start with food. Sanji.
Sanji: Haii! Nami-swaaan! Everything is gonna be perfect! I'm gonna bring you the finest cuisine!
Luffy: A re? I thought I was in charge of food!

Zoro: what about you? Aren't you in charge of anything?

Nami: ah? A… I'm .. I'm the organizer, to make sure to all do your work. * shot Zoro a "shut- up- if- you- wanna- live" glare*

(back to my normal writing style)
After a few chats and laughs, it was finally time to go home, a relief for Zoro who was about to die from boredom. "BYE NAMI-SWAAAN!" Sanji practically danced to the door. Zoro followed behind. "Bye sanji-kun".
The two walked in the cold winter roads, it was getting colder by the moment. " hey, Sanji… do you feel like someone is following us? " Zoro whispered as he walked beside Sanji. " I've noticed that too" this time Sanji was determine to get to the bottom of this. "Who's there? Show yourself you coward!" Sanji stopped and shouted. Zoro also wide alert.
A man in a black coat came into view, the cow boy like hat shadowed he's face. "Who are you? Shitty old man!" Sanji stepped in front of Zoro just in case something dangerous happens. "Zoro" the man suddenly spoke up. "how do you know my name?" Zoro shouted in defense. The man walked nearer to them. Sanji stood in a fighting stance. "I'm sorry that I scared you, boys" the man looked up, revealing hawk like eyes staring at them. "what do you shitty want?" Sanji felt discomfort under the gaze. "I'm Dracule Mihawk, the father of the child right there" He changed his sight towards the child. A moment of silence drop upon them. "WHAT?" they shouted when they finally realize what he said.
"do you have prove?" Sanji still doesn't trust this man. What if it was a trick? " on the boy's shoulder, there's a small mark shaped like a hawk, that's the prove I can give you." It was true, does that mean this man really is Zoro's father? Did he come to take him back? " I'll explain everything, but first can we go to your house?" Mihawk saw the confused teen struggling to decide what to do. " Ok, but if you do anything funny, you're dead!" Sanji's voice was filled with unease. " you have my word" Mihawk nodded. Zoro was too shock to react.
AT SANJI'S HOUSE
The three sat down in awkward silence. They could see the man's face clearly after the hat was taken off. Zoro doesn't look like him at all! " Zoro got his hair and looks from his mother" it was like he could read minds. Sanji shivered.
" would you mind explaining now?" Sanji was being inpatient, Zoro sat beside Sanji waiting for the answer. Mihawk looked him in the eye "what I'm gonna say won't be repeated or shared with others, do I make myself clear?" Sanji nodded seriously. "I'm a secret agent working for the government, which includes killing. After I married Roronao Akira, Zoro's mother, I knew their lives would be in danger. But I never thought the danger was so close. When Akira gave birth to Zoro, an assassin disguised as a doctor nearly killed Zoro with a surgical knife, that's where the scar on Zoro's chest came from. For the sake of the child's life, I sent him to the orphanage where no one knows about his background or where he came from, just a name." Sanji and Zoro's eyes widen at the explanation (back to dialogue style)
Sanji: you mean the Thousand Sunny Orphanage?
Mihawk: yes. There was a new saying that a 10 year old boy with green hair went missing yesterday. Then I saw him with you while having a meal at Baratie. So I followed you to make sure he was save.
Sanji : I found him laying in the snow outside the house, I don't know how the hell he got there but he was like about to froze to death.
Zoro: I ran away from the orphanage …
Mihawk: What? Why? You could be killed, boy! What in the world were you thinking?
Zoro: I WANTED TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH YOU! so i went looking for you.
Mihawk:…. You just ran away without knowing where I was?
Zoro: at least I got out from that lousy orphanage *nearly whispering*
Sanji: wait, if Zoro has the same name as his mother, then wouldn't that make it easy to find him? What happened to her anyway?
Mihawk: she died while giving birth. She used a fake name, Hiroshi Akira, only a few knows her real name.
(back to normal style)
" so did you came here to take Zoro back?" Sanji sounded a little disappointed, to say the truth he got kinda attached to the little guy. "No" "what? Why?" " because if I took him with me, it'll only put him in danger. Seeing that he likes being with you, would help me take care of him? I'll send you cash every month." Sanji's eyes widen, it isn't so bad, it's like having a younger brother, right? He looked for an answer from Zoro but the child was already asleep, he must be tired from the events. Sanji looked back at Mihawk and nodded in response. " I'll take care of the little moss-head" he said with a warm smile.
" I thank you for the cooperation" Mihawk went beside the sleeping child, stroked his soft green hair and gave a kiss on his forehead. " you remind me so much of Akira. i'm sorry Zoro." With that he nodded as thanks and went out the door.
Sanji sat down exhausted, "well, I guess l received an early Christmas present" he looked at Zoro and smiled. He slowly drifted into dreamland.
Christmas went well for the gang and happy memories were made, with a new friend. To him, it's a new beginning to a new life.
