Author's Note: Oh man, I'm gonna fangirl here for a second: my idol on FF, the Wandering Swordsman, added this story to her favorites, reviewed all three chapters, and put it on her story alert! So, Wandering Swordsman, if you're reading this, sorry that I'm a rabid fan and I hope you update 'Heart' soon. Also, does anyone have ideas for what I can have Ace and Smoker do? Cause I got nothing.
Replies:
looky: Thanks. I thought that the descriptions were kinda lame, actually, so it's nice to know they're appreciated. (:
: Sorry to say, but I have no clue what Celestial Dragon you're talking about. I'm glad you like the story, though. And thank you for giving me permission to keep writing my story. Jk.
The Wandering Swordsman: Thank you for the alert and fav! It made me really happy when I saw it in my inbox. Also, thanks for reviewing all of the chapters. Eneru's not a sex slave master, he sells all kinds of slaves! And yes; it is a weird grammatical error, Sanji is a perv, and he's also a perv in denial.
HappyMe_O: I'm glad I have your attention then. And I'm also glad that you liked all the chapters.
verunder: I know it's strange, I based this story off of a dream I had. I'm glad you like it, though. Thanks for the fav!
cb: Yeah, he's watching Zoro because he can't get away with watching any cannon females. They'd all kill him. And, Zoro doesn't think being called a pet is cute, so I'm glad you do! (:
Also, thanks to BleachLover1521, mm345, abbylee95, Reddy-chan, INUKI12,Midnight Ghost, and Densetsu-Chan for the favs/alerts!
On to the story!
Zoro followed Sanji until they came to the kitchen. "Well, Shithead, what do you want to eat?"
He shrugged. "Meat. Lots of meat." Zoro decided he needed to start packing on the pounds… and that Shithead was one of his new names, whatever.
"Well, you're getting vegetables too. It's bad for your digestive system if you don't."
"I have the digestive track of a carnivore. I don't need vegetables." He replied, watching from his seat at the counter as the prince puttered around the kitchen. (1)
"I don't care, you're getting 'em anyway." The blond replied as he pulled things from the ice chest.
Zoro picked at the loose black pants under his tunic, also loose and black, and stared in mild fascination as the blond started chopping beef into strips. "I didn't know princes learned to cook."
"They usually don't, I just really like cooking. Technically, I'm not supposed to, but the chefs and other slaves don't let my parents know." He answered as he set the beef aside and started chopping red bell pepper into strips as well.
"What're ya makin'?" He asked, wanting to know what was going into his stomach.
"Beef Stir-fry. It's good, you'll like it."
"Hello, Prince Sanji, who's this?" A feminine voice asked from the doorway.
Zoro turned his head and saw a dark skinned woman with black hair and ice blue eyes. She was in a purple dress that was tight and laced at the top and loose at the bottom and a white, fur trimmed floor length jacket over that. He could see boots and a pair of pants peeking out from under the dress. The woman looked very intelligent and Zoro figured that she could hold her own in a fight; physical or mental.
"Hello, my beautiful Lady Robin! You're beauty never ceases to amaze me! You outshine the graceful bird you were named for!" The blond swooned. (2)
Zoro stared, slack-jawed. The man who could actually hurt him just turned into a blob of drooling jelly at the sight of a pair of boobs. How pathetic.
Robin turned to him and smiled. "Hello, and you are?"
"Zoro…" He answered; her smile kind of psyched him out.
"Zoro! Be polite when you speak to this angelic being!" He scolded. "Lady Robin, I'm so very sorry for my slave's disrespect, he's just and idiot!"
"I'm not an idiot, you skirt slave!" Zoro barked, glaring at his 'master.'
"Says the man who tried to cut his own legs off."
"I got caught in a hunter's trap. I needed out, and that was the only way I could think off. Besides, I got out eventually. And I kept my legs." To emphasize his point, he kicked at the man in front of him with a black booted foot.
Sanji retaliated by kicking the bar stool out from under the Lycan, who crashed ungracefully to the floor. He growled and lunged at the slightly taller man but dropped to the floor before he could reach him.
"Dammit! I hate this collar!" He growled, clawing at it even though it felt like it wasn't even there.
"Oh, that's a slave collar. Made by faeries, I believe." Robin said, leaning down to inspect it while Sanji walked around the counter to continue on his dish. "Faeries put these on their enemies so that they cannot attack them and become their slave. And the one wearing the collar cannot take it off because they cannot feel it. Very interesting… Where did the slave master get this?"(3)
"From some faerie lady that came by the slave market. She didn't want me but gave them the collar because I nearly broke out three times."
"Well, if I could remove it I would, but the only person who can take it off is the one who put it on you." Robin stated apologetically.
Zoro grunted in reply and stood, brushing himself off and getting back on the stool once he righted it. His green eyes darted around the room. He noticed the slave from the carriage sneaking into the room.
"SANJIII! I want meeaaaat!" The brunet yelled as he practically flew across the room only to stop as Zoro clothes-lined his neck. "Ow!" The boy yelled and whatever he was going to say next was cut off as he started coughing.
Zoro watched the boy, no one had seemed to care that the Lycan just made him choke. The boy recovered quickly enough and jumped onto the stool beside Zoro.
"Hey, you're that slave from earlier, right? My names Luffy, I like meat and games."
"Uh… Zoro, I like meat… and swords." He replied, figuring that he was supposed to introduce himself in the same fashion.
"Eat up, Wolfy." Sanji commanded as he set a steaming plate of beef stir-fry on top of white rice onto the counter.
"MEAT!" Luffy yelled and lunged for it, stopped by a tan fist and a booted foot.
Zoro growled at the smaller male and removed his fist from his face. He picked up a fork and started eating, letting out a warning growl when Luffy tried to get the meat. He was finished in a few minutes. No matter how hungry he was, Sanji seemed like the kind of guy who would kick him for bad table manners.
"You want more?" Sanji asked, Zoro nodded and the blond filled his plate up.
Zoro snarfed it down at a reasonable pace. Luffy watched, a waterfall of drool coming from his mouth.
"Sanji~ I want meat~" The boy whined, giving the prince puppy dog eyes. Zoro was jealous, he was an actual canine and the only thing he ever succeeded in doing while attempting those eyes was to look constipated.
About twenty plates later, the other three occupants of the room were staring at Zoro in amazement. He looked up and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"You can eat a lot! Almost as much as me! We should have an eating contest, shishishi!" Luffy laughed, eating his own meat.
Sanji kicked him in the head. "No talking with your mouth full, shithead!" He growled.
Zoro chuckled, he was right on the nose about the blond prince; picky about table manners and arrogant.
"What are you laughing at, mossy?"
"Mossy?" Zoro's eye twitched.
"Your head looks like a big moss ball."
"Your eyebrow looks like a dartboard!"Zoro retaliated.
Robin decided it would be good to intervene before the fight escalated and Zoro got hurt; only because of his collar. Lycan's could hold their own in a fight. "Tell me, Zoro, do you like to read?"
"I never learned." He replied, not embarrassed in the slightest.
"… Well, I'm not having a retarded slave; you're going to learn how to read." Sanji commanded. "If it's alright with the lovely Lady Robin, you can start learning with her while I'm busy doing my job every day."
"Of course it's okay with me, Prince Sanji." Robin said, smiling.
"Oi," Zoro raised a hand, "don't I get a say in this?"
"No." Sanji replied. "You'll start in the morning."
"Jerk…"
Um, don't ask me why I stopped it there, it seemed long enough. Just so you know, I type this as I come up with it, so ideas are appreciated. And I'm gonna try and update on Saturdays, okay? Wow, this is the first multi chapter thing I've started and gotten past chapter two. How sad is that?
(1)I like the word 'puttered'
(2)Please forgive the fact that I can't write Sanji's noodleness! Or Luffy for that matter, Zoro is so much easier cause I act more like him personality wise. XD
(3)I think I read about a collar like that in some book or something. I don't know… It's weird.
