Zoro woke shaking the groggyness from his head. He was laying against the cooks midsection arms still wrapped loosley around his sides with his head tucked under Sanji's chin the green locks shifting everytime Sanji breathed out . He sighed feeling a slight ting from his chest and looked down to see bandages crisscrossing his torso. His movement must have woken Sanji cause the cook shifted under him head lifting from the green locks they had been nuzzled in. Green eyes found his and he smiled.

"How you feeling moss-head?"

"Oh just lovely shit cook." Zoro croaked out feeling Sanji chuckle under him. "I only just got out of a weeks worth of torture and my mind breaking so yeah i'm wonderful."

Sanji flinched. "Yeah about that Zoro i'm sorry it was my fault..."

"Oh will you stop doing that it pisses me off."

"What?"

"When you keep saying it was your fault when there was nothing you could have done." Zoro growled he could feel anger boiling up inside him. He really did not blame Sanji, he had done more for him in this past few days than anyone else on this god forsaken island and he was grateful to the cook which he hated to admit.

"But I promised I would get you out of here safely and because I could not keep that promise I almost lost you." Zoro raised an eyebrow and Sanji kicked himself. Had he really just admit he liked the Marimo. "Uh..I..I mean." He was cut off when Zoro pressed his lips to the cooks his arms tightening a bit as Sanji moaned around Zoro"s lips. Was this really what Zoro tasted like? It was sweet and had a salty after taste to it.

"Zoro" Sanji pushed against Zoro trying to pry their lips apart. "I..need..to..breath." Sanji gasped out around Zoro's mouth. Zoro blushed pulling back panting hard.

"Sorry I just could not help myself after what you said." Zoro said looking away not able to meet Sanji's gaze which stared at him in confusion.

"What that I felt like it was my fault and that I almost lost you?"

"Yeah." Zoro said sheepishly. Sanji sighed before pulling Zoro's eyes back to him.

"I wish i had told you this before the attack on the ship but i just never had the guts to do it." Sanji paused waiting for a response from Zoro. When none came he continued. "I..I love you Zoro, have for some time now and when you got taken I could not sleep without thinking off that look of terror on your face and when I found that bastard inside you I was furious I never want to see you like that again." Sanji was panting now fresh tears threatening to spill from his eyes. This was it, either Zoro excepted him or rejected him.

"Sanji i.."

"You two shut up we have company." A voice hissed from across the cave. Zoro turned a bit in Sanji's arms seeing Drake pressed up agianst the wall.

"Who is it Drake?" Sanji asked arms tightening around Zoro protectively a serious look on his face. Zoro felt himself tremble and his abdomen gave a slight twitch. Was it Kaine coming to take him back to that cell.

"Sanji protect Zoro don't let anything happen to him our he may never come back if his mind breaks again." Drake stated coldly eyes thinning to dangerous slits.

"Right Zoro don't move." Sanji reluctantly released his hold on Zoro and stood approuching Drake who stepped out of the cave Sanji following.

"I'll be right back Zoro hang tight."

It was still dark out meaning he had probably only gotten a few hours of sleep but he felt pumped. Looking around he noticed at least sixteen marines surrounding the entrance to the cave. How where there so many he did not see any in the base so where did they all come from."

"Hand over Roronoa." One marine stated gun pointed at Sanji's chest. Sanji smiled taking a step forward.

"What universe where you raised in? Like i'd ever give up my friend. You'll have to get through me to get to him."

"Oh I don't think that will be nessesary." Sanji gasped whirling around to see Kaine emerging from the cave pulling Zoro out with him by a pair of hand cuffs shackled around the swordsman's wrists. "As you can see I already have Roronoa so I won't be needing to fight you. No I have come to offer you a deal."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because it may very well save Roronoa's life seeing as he has very little time as it is."

Sanji's eyes narrowed taking a step towards Kaine who responded by twisting the shackles till Zoro cried out in pain. "What did you do to him you bastard?"

"Now now that was rude, why would you think i would do something to him?"

A vien popped on Sanji's forehead and he took another step.

"Oh i don't know maybe it's the fact that you tortured him for a week, forced him to have sex against his will and there is the final detail off me finding him with your accused manhood inside him. How could you possible think you did not do anything to him!" Sanji yelled, he had had it with this man trying to have his way with Zoro, but what had he meant by save Zoro's life? Was Zoro dying and Sanji had not realized it?

"Wait what did you mean by save Zoro's life?"

"That you will find out after I finish with Roronoa here." He gave a slight jerk pullling Zoro in front of him fiddling with the helm of the black pants. "How about we give your friend a good show hmm?" Zoro whimpered as the zipper on his pants where undone leaving them free to fall to the ground panic gripping his body as Sanji stiffened. Kaine had just pulled out a knife attempting to cut the boxers away from Zoro's hips cause taking them off without cutting them would take to much time when a cry of pure raged emerged from Sanji. Kaine looked up as Sanji rushed forwards his left leg on fire.

"Get your filthy hands of him!" Kaine smirked pressing the dagger to the fabric and with one swift movement cut them away from the tan skin of Zoro's hips. Zoro screamed trying to wrench himself away from Kaine who was fiddling with his own pants not at all worried about the inraged cook coming right at him. The pants fell to the ground and Kaine moved to position himself against the squirming teen member pressing up against Zoro's entrance who cried out tears staining his face.

"Sanji!"

"Zoro duck!" Sanji hollered bring his leg up as Zoro dropped his head as Sanji's left leg connected with Kaine's face sending him flying away from Zoro who fell to the ground having been knocked off balance by Kaine's sudden disappearance plus the pants around his ankles did not help either.

"Zoro did he go into you?" Sanji asked kneeling beside the trembling swordsman desperatly trying to pull up Zoro's pants. Was he to late? Zoro shock his head rolling against Sanji sobbs racking his form as Sanji managed to get the pants around Zoro's hips. He was going to kill that guy as soon as he was done making sure Zoro was okay. Drake came running over having finished off the marines eyes going to where Kaine was laying in a heap than to Zoro who was pressed against Sanji head buried in his lap the hand cuffs pulling his arms to the breaking point.

"Sanji hold him still I'm going to shot off the hand cuffs." Drake said pointing at the lock. Sanji had just pinned Zoro against the ground when a bang filled the air and the cuffs fell away with a clatter. Zoro's hands flying up to clutch at Sanji's shirt as Drake ran back into the cave grabbing Zoro's three swords.

"Lets go we can't stay here." Sanji said slinging Zoro over his back as Drake tied the swords to his own back with a thick vine before turning to his old boss.

"Wait a minute Sanji." drake called running back to Kaine and quickly searched the man eyes going wide as he pulled out a small vial. this could come in handy once Zoro was checked out by a doctor but was not going to give it to him until then and quickly pocketed it before tying up the man with some vines from a near by tree.

"okay lets go." Sanji ran ahead Drake following as they raced to the coast and the sunny.
