Chapter 10

Slicing Vegetables

The next day, Sanji was the first one awake, which was normal for the cook. Sanji was always the first one up to make breakfast, if he wasn't sick that is. He rubbed at his eyes, getting the sleep out of them and then slowly sat up, grunting from pain. "Shit…" he mumbled, and remembered about the shot he had received. Getting over the bit of pain he stood up and looked around. Once again he wasn't in the bunk room with the other men.

"Right," he mumbled and held onto his head. He grabbed his cloths form last night and carried them out of the little resting area Chopper had made and went right to the bathroom to wash up for the new day.

Once he was done with a quick sponge bath and washing his hair, he dressed and went right to the kitchen to start on breakfast. He wasn't cooking for long when he heard the galley door open the sound of hooves and a pair of boots walking over to him.

"Sanji! You shouldn't be up! You need to be resting!" Chopper said, tugging on the bottom of Sanji's elbow.

Sanji frowned and looked at Chopper shaking his head. "I'm all right Chopper I rested enough, I'll be alright to cook," he said and glanced at Zoro who was only there because Chopper asked him to come. Sanji noted the swordsman still looked very tired.

"No Sanji, boy you and Zoro are so much alike! I'm the doctor on this ship and I said you need to rest! You have a gun shot wound and it needs to heal properly! I don't want to see it reopen and have to stitch it up again! Zoro help me bring him back to bed, please." He said in a stern and serious voice.

Sanji would frown, and glanced at Zoro who was moving over to Sanji. The cook rubbed at his temple. "But Chopper, if I have to rest, who will make breakfast? You know Luffy won't be happy if there isn't food on the table when he wakes up."

"Robin already said she will make breakfast this morning. You can make lunch, but I would like you to have help with dinner! Now come on back to bed, you need more rest! Zoro pick him up!" the little doctor ordered.

Sanji frowned, and yelped when he was picked up by the swordsman and was carried away back to the little "hospital wing" by Choppers orders.

Sanji couldn't even get a word out when he was stripped and put back into his PJs and laid down to rest. He blinked again and glanced at Zoro who just shrugged, grinning. He's probably enjoying this… bastard. He thought to himself and sighed.

Chopper had changed his bandages and gave him some more medicine and nodded. "There Sanji, now get some rest. Zoro make sure he doesn't get up for a while. He needs the extra sleep."

Sanji just grunted, already feeling himself fall asleep. Chopper must have game me some sleeping medicine. He thought and yawned. He heard Chopper's hooves cross the floor indicating he left and he glanced at the swordsman, and then closed his eyes.

"Tired, cook?"

"Shu'dup," Sanji mumbled, feeling sleep take over him.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a soft chuckle from the swordsman and then a gentle brush to his bangs. He sighed and let sleep overtake him.

When Sanji woke up it was around noon. He felt a lot better then he had, and he got up with a smile, putting on some decent cloths he went back out into the galley. He was pleasantly surprised to see it cleaned and everything in its right place. He was also surprised to see a tray on the counter with his name on it.

Smiling he picked it up and took a look. There was two sandwiches, a bowl of soup and a glass of juice. Feeling the bowl he noted it was still warm, which meant it was recently made. He took everything to the table, sat down and began to eat.

"Mmm not bad," he said with a smile as he took a taste of the soup. He smiled and started to enjoy his meal.

"Hey cook," Zoro said when he entered, going right to the fridge and taking out a bottle of sake.

"Zoro, did you even ask if you can just go and get some booze?" Sanji asked, a bit irritated and happy to see the swordsman.

Zoro grinned and sat across the cook. "Sorry, I'm taking a bottle of sake."

Sanji just rolled his eyes and continued to eat his lunch.

The two sat there in a comfortable silence like that for a few minutes until they heard Nami's cry of: "Hands on deck"

Both Sanji and Zoro were on there feet in seconds and outside along with the others.

"What's the matter Nami-san?" Sanji asked, worried.

"There is a huge snow storm coming, we need to get this ship turned 90 digress to the east! Come on hurry up!" she shouted, her anger boiling up.

"AYE AYE!" Everyone shouted and scattered about the deck to do their normal routine when a storm was going to hit.

It took everyone a few hours to get the ship away from the snow storm. By that time the Going Merry was safe again, everyone was freezing and gathered in the galley.

"Aruuge! This is just perfect! We are completely off course now!" Nami shouted, ignoring the cup of tea Sanji had handed her.

"How far off course are we, Nami-san?" Sanji asked finally sitting down with his own cup of tea in hand.

"At least 4 days. The good thing is that the log is pointing in this direction so that means we are near an island. We can probably stop there and figure out the best route to get to the island we want to go to."

"But Nami, maybe this new island will have a better adventure!" exclaimed Luffy.

Nami turned to Luffy with dark eyes. "We are not having an adventure on this island. We are going to the one with the treasure."

Luffy gulped and nodded his head, not wanting to argue with an angry Nami.

"Do we know what island this is?" asked Zoro as he snacked on some cookies the cook had laid out.

"No, I don't. Robin, do you have any idea?"

Robin looked up from where she was reading, she smiled and gently closed the book. "Well, I did hear a few rumors from the last island we were on, saying that this certain island always brings in ships from a storm. I do not know the name, but the people do say that the island has a special secret to it."

Nami's eyes lit up in dollar signs and Luffy's lit up with stars.

"TREASURE!"

"A MYSTERY ISLAND!"

The two shouted together.

At that moment the crew knew there current adventure would be on hold as they explored the next island.

Later that night after everyone had gone to bed, Zoro and Sanji were in the galley in a heated kiss. The two were on the floor, using the flower sacks as pillows, with a warm blanket wrapped around them.

Zoro had Sanji on top of him one long leg wrapped around his thigh. Zoro had his arms wrapped around Sanji, one on the cook's back and the other on his leg.

Sanji had his hands in Zoro's hair, running his fingers through the short green spikes, his eyes closed as they kissed.

"Zoro," Sanji said, ending the kiss with a smile. He gently moved away from the other man to lie onto his back.

Zoro watched Sanji confused until he noted the cook, rub at his wound. He frowned and eased himself closer to Sanji laying sideways one arm draping over to Sanji's chest gently. "Are you all right?"

Sanji nodded and smiled at the swordsman. "Stiff, bit sore, I'm okay," he said, turning slightly so he was closer to Zoro. "Tired"

Zoro hummed a bit, letting Sanji rest against him. "Not surprised, Chopper did give you that medicine. Are you going to sleep here tonight?"

Sanji's response was soft snoring, as he moved closer to Zoro. Zoro blinked and chuckled, running his hand down the cook's back, letting him sleep. Hopefully your shit luck will change. He thought to himself, shifting to get a bit more comfortable. He didn't care if someone walked in on them. If the cook did, well it's his fault anyway.

Ug, I like this chapter, but I don't. I know it's short and I'm sorry but the whole chapter was a struggle. It was going to be longer but Writters Block kept hitting me and I didn't want you all to wait much longer. So I sat down and just stared at it until something poped in my head.

It worked! I know have an idea on what I am going to do with this story! So the next chapter will be a bit longer and things will get rolling a bit smoothly again.

But! I am going to update PM first. :)

That's all for now, please review and if any one has an extra idea or two for me don't be afrade to let me know what they are! ^.^

Your good freind,

CRAZI-SWAN!
