Maya- Hello again everyone I hope you all had yet another wonderful week. This one just seemed to fly by to me. Makes me wish there was more time in a week so that I could get more done.

Zoro- You'd have more time if you didn't read all that manga.

Maya- Who are you my mother! I can't help it, It allows me to relax from all this damn homework. It was funny though. I was watching Attack on Titan and after the fifth episode I walked downstairs to my parents and told them that if I run into their room yelling "Run it's a titan!" that I was very sorry and didn't mean it.

Zoro- And what did they say to that.

Maya- My dad said that if I woke him up because of that he'd tape me to the bed.

Zoro- Did you end up doing it?

Maya- Thankfully that night I didn't have any nightmares about titans. But wow those things are creepy.

Zoro- I could beat them.

Maya- Says the man who trains all day yet can't beat Luffy to the food on the table.

Zoro- Shut up like you could do any better.

Maya- Easy I'll just tell him that there's some top quality meat in another room. While he goes to look for it I'll eat in peace.

Luffy- MEAT WHERE!

Maya- Ah Luffy no I don't have any! Zoro do the ending for me! LUFFY DON'T EAT MY ARM!

Zoro- hehehe. Anyway yeah here's the next update.

The helicopter must have made the ride shorter then if they drove in a car. It seemed that they had gotten back way too fast. Before he could even think of what to tell Zeff they were entering his city. Sanji looked at everyone in the helicopter as if it was going to be the last time he will ever see any of them.

'Franky, I'm sorry that I won't be able to say goodbye to you.' Sanji thought. Leaning his head forward he rested in against Zoro's back. Zoro looked at him from over his shoulder but soon went back to viewing the city.

"So , Where do you live?" Robin asked.

Sanji stretched so that he could see her over Zoro. "I live over there next to the big restaurant that looks like a fish." Sanji said as he pointed his fingers in it's general direction.

Robin looked at where he was pointing and had to laugh at the bizarre building. "I see it."

"Looks tasty!" Luffy yelled as he practically drooled all over himself. "I wonder how it'd taste."

"Please don't eat my house." Sanji said, wondering if Luffy was planning just that. Luffy just smiled at him until another building caught his attention. There was just enough space for them to land on the roof to his apartment. There was a lot of shock from the other residents but after a bit of explaining, and a lot of lies to avoid reveling that they were kitsune, everyone calmed down and went back to their own business.

As the residents filed back into the building Sanji kept an eye out for Zeff. To his luck he didn't see the old man anywhere. Everyone stood behind him awkwardly. None of them knowing what to do next so they waited for Sanji's answer. While everyone but Luffy who was running around the roof and looking at everything.

"Let's just get inside before anyone else questions us." Sanji said as he began to lead the way to his room. Standing outside the door Sanji reached into his pocket for the key. Feeling nothing he opened up the bag. After a bit of digging he remembered that he didn't have his key anymore. Sighing he ran his hand along the top of the door frame until it came across the spare key. Pulling it down he used it to open up the door. After ushering everyone inside he put it back and closed the door. After a moment to think Sanji locked it again to make it seem that they weren't there in case Zeff came back.

Everyone was either standing or sitting down in the open kitchen/ dining room. Luffy already had his head in the fridge. 'It has been a while since we last ate, I guess I could make some food.'

Pushing Luffy out of the kitchen Sanji looked to see what they had in the fridge. There was some ham, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, already peeled corn, chicken, and leftover potato salad. There were also a few fruits. Pulling out the chicken he prepared it and placed it in the oven to cook. As the oven cooked it he pulled out a pot to boil some water to warm the corn. It took around twenty minutes for the water to boil in their biggest pot. While he waited for it to boil he prepared a fruit salad in case one of them didn't like the potato salad. After the salad was ready he checked on the chicken and tossed the corn into the pot. Everyone watched him as he moved around the kitchen in smooth movements.

"Is that some meat?" Luffy asked as he pointed at the chicken.

"Yup." Sanji said. Luffy's grin stretched across his face as he eyeballed it. Pulling out plates and utensils Sanji got them to set the table for the meal.

"There aren't enough seats." Zoro said. Sanji looked back at the table.

"Hmm there should be some in the other room let me get it." Sanji said as he placed the chicken on the table. Exiting the room Sanji went to get the extra chairs. Picking up the ones they needed Sanji turned to head back. Robin was bringing in the salad as Nami carried over the salads. Zoro had looked through the cupboards for the cups and was currently placing one in each spot.

Luffy took the chairs from him which allowed him to turn off the stove and take the corn out of the pot. Everyone was seated and waiting for him to bring over the last of the food. Brook holding Luffy back so that he wouldn't eat all the food himself.

"Sanji, may I have something to drink?" Chopper asked.

"Sure." Sanji said as he walked back to the fridge and opened it. "We have milk, Orange juice, prune juice, fruit juice and lemonade."

"I want milk!" Chopper said.

"I want to try that prune thing!" Luffy yelled.

"You may want to pass on that one." Sanji said. "How about fruit juice." Luffy nodded and Sanji brought them over. "And for the adults I have a fine wine that has low alcohol."

"That sounds lovely." Robin smiled as Sanji poured the liquid into her cup.

"Sanji there's a picture on the milk!" Chopper said as he jumped out of his seat and ran over to him.

"They sometimes put missing children on them to get the word out that their parents are looking for them." Sanji said.

"Then your parents are missing you."

"Huh?" Sanji said as he took the milk carton from Chopper. On the carton was a picture of him from a few months ago. It was a picture of him at the beach. He was smiling at all the ladies when Zeff stood in front of him and snapped the picture. Under it was a description of him. His hair, eye color, name, age, height and weight. There was also a place that said where he was last seen. Above the picture was the word Missing in bold letters.

'So the man was looking for me, He'll probably make me pay for this.' Sanji thought. Handing the milk back to Chopper he reassured him. "Don't worry about it." Chopper nodded and ran back to his spot at the table.

Taking his seat next to Zoro and Nami Sanji filled his plate. Zoro looked at all the food before taking the same things that Sanji did. Sanji stabbed his fork into his slice of chicken and quickly cut it off. The flavor danced on his tongue as he ate it. Luffy didn't even bother to use his knife and fork. He picked up the meat and took a big bite out of it. His eyes light up and he took another bite. The others had more decency and used their utensils.

As they ate they talked. Sanji would only catch a few words here and there since he was trying to listen for Zeff's footsteps at the same time. He got so immersed in listening that he accidentally hit his drink. The liquid spilled over the sides and drenched his pants. Jumping up Sanji laughed awkwardly. "Opps I'll be right back after I change."

Standing up Sanji made his way to his room. Zoro's chair also shot back and he followed. Stopping in the hallway Sanji looked back at him. "You didn't need to come. You could have finished your meal first."

"I wanted to see your room." Zoro said.

Sanji smiled then continued to make his way to the room. "Then come with me." They didn't say anything as they made their way to his room. In was a comfortable silence though. Once they were at his room Sanji pushed the door open and walked inside. After Zoro entered he closed the door and stated to take off his shirt.

He could feel Zoro's eyes on his back as more and more skin was reveled. After the damp cloth was removed he tossed it into the laundry hamper and moved to take off his pants. His fingers hesitated at his belt and he turned to look back at Zoro. Zoro was looking at a picture as if it was the most important thing in the world. His eyes glued to it completely. Turning back to his belt he removed it and tossed it into his bed. In a smooth motion he removed his pants and underwear. Turing back again he saw that Zoro was still looking at the picture but his face was a dark red.

'

Opening his dresser drawers Sanji pulled out some underwear and pants. Putting them on he then sat next to Zoro. Zoro looked at him. His eyes flickering between his face and chest. "You not going to put a shirt on?"

Sanji laughed then leaned into Zoro. "Do you have a problem with me not wearing one?"

"I don't care but Nami and Robin might." Zoro said, his voice and face devoid of emotion.

"So you like me without a shirt?" Sanji flirted.

"I've been around shirtless men before so I don't really care." Zoro answered.

'Does he not get I'm trying to flirt?' Sanji thought. Hanging his head Sanji sighed. Seeing that there was a hole in Zoro's pants Sanji stood up. "Here let me get you some clothes too. Can't have you walking around with holes in your clothes."

Zoro looked confused as he searched his clothes for holes. Once he found one he looked even more confused. "When'd that get there?" Looking through his drawers Sanji found a shirt that looked like it'd fit Zoro.

"Here try this on." Sanji said as he tossed it at Zoro. Zoro caught it and stood up. As he took his shirt off Sanji took the chance to admire Zoro's body. He had to admit that Zoro had a damn fine body. He almost pouted when Zoro put the shirt on but the thought of Zoro in his shirt made him smile. "Looks good on you."

Zoro looked at himself in the mirror. "It's comfy." Smiling Sanji stole a kiss on Zoro's cheeks before heading for the door.

"Ready to continue dinner?" Sanji asked. Zoro nodded and followed him. As they walked to the kitchen they noticed a weird silence. Even Luffy couldn't be heard. Picking up their pace they ran into the dinning room. The food was still there half eaten on the plates but unlike the food the people who were eating it were nowhere to be seen. The answer came to him when he heard the thud of a foot that was followed by the cluck of a fake leg. Sanji lifted his head and looked towards the entrance. Zeff appeared and looked into the room. Sanji and Zoro mimicking the look of shock on his face.

"Sanji?" Zeff asked.

"Yeah hi." Sanji laughed awkwardly. Zeff dropped his coat on the floor and walked towards Sanji. Once he was in front of him he swung his leg and knocked Sanji onto his ass.

"Sanji!" Zoro gasped.

"Ow, Watch it you old bat." Sanji grumbled.

"Where the hell have you been? You sneak out of the hospital then completely disappear from the earth. No one knew where you were! Do you know how many people are still out there looking for you?" Zeff yelled at him before turning on Zoro. "And who the hell is this?"

"I'm Roronoa Zoro." Zoro said as he swatted Zeff's hand away. "I'm Sanji's mate."

"Mate?" Zeff asked as he looked at Sanji. "So you left to go find a mate!"

"No I already knew him, I just went to get him back." Sanji said standing up and putting himself between Zeff and Zoro. "Zeff this is the kitsune Zoro, my mate."

"I told you kitsunes aren't real." Zeff growled.

"They are and he's one of them." Sanji growled back. "And there are six more in here."

"Six?" Zeff asked. "You expect me to believe this after never finding my own?"

"Zoro just show him." Sanji said getting tired of arguing. Zoro looked between the two before doing as he was asked. He changed before their eyes into the beautiful creature that Sanji first met. Zeff was startled the moment Zoro started to change and fell backwards into a chair.

He looked at Sanji then at Zoro then back at Sanji. "But after all my searching? And your telling me there are six more in here?"

Sanji nodded. "They're somewhere in here hiding. Luffy, Nami, Ace, Chopper, Brook, Robin! Where are you guys, come out!" After a moment of silence they started to come out one after another.. Each of them turning into their kitsune forms as they did so. Zeff looked at the seven kitsune in front of him.

"But I thought," Zeff stared but didn't finish so Sanji spoke.

"You just gave up searching too early."

Zeff ran his hand through his hair as a bitter laugh passed between his lips. "I wonder what would have happened if I never gave up."

"I don't know." Sanji said. "You guys can change back now." All the kitsune turned back and retook their spots at the table. All but Chopper since Zeff was still in his seat. Instead Chopper grabbed his plate and placed it next to Robin where he then ate as he sat on her lap. Sanji went back into the kitchen and piled some food onto a plate for Zeff. Placing it in front of him Sanji then sat down.

Zeff stared at the food and sighed. Turning around he took a large bite of his chicken. "I know that the green one is your mate but what's with the rest of them?"

"They can't go back anymore. I was hoping they could live with us until they find their mates." Sanji said.

"Actually Robin and I already have homes." Nami said. "We have been living out here before you came. We just don't have mates."

Zeff eyeballed them all. Sinking into his chair he nodded. "We can house the ones that need a place to stay."

"Thank you!" Sanji beamed. "So Ace, Luffy, Chopper and Brook will be with us."

Maya- It felt wired having the milk in a carton since I'm used to buying it in bags but I had to have it like that since pictures can't go on the bags.

Zoro- Does it really matter?

Maya- I guess not, Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the update again! Please review and if you have a request don't be afraid to say it. I love hearing your ideas XD. I'll see you all again next week.
