Chapter Ten: The struggle

Sabaody street is busy area especially at night. With all the clubs, gambling houses, auction houses, bars, motels and many others. Shakky's place is the biggest club on the street and is always crowded at night especially Friday nights, for our bubbly gang is present and itching to party out all the stress they encountered this week especially our two love birds.

Shakky the owner and bartender of the club is really good friends with the gang, she served three beers to the three handsome men in the counter who are talking seriously while the others were dancing.

"Dude she had 24 boxes!" Zoro said while thanking Shakky and drinking his beer. "She is so persistent"

"I can't believe Uncle Yuki would engage you knowing full well of your relationship with Sanji" Smoker said "Even mom was surprised" drinking his beer

"So what does she look like?" Ace asked.

"She's blonde, and annoying" Zoro answered.

"You sure have a thing for blondes don't you" Ace joked earning a glare from Zoro.

"She kept following me the whole time"

"Have mentioned to her that your Gay?"

"Yes I have, and she thought I was joking, and that I was using Sanji as an excuse for her not to marry me."

"Wow, you really have it rough huh?"

"You can say that again"

"So what do you plan to do?"

"I don't know, but I better do something Sanji's getting irritated."

Some other table…

"She kept following us and clinging on to him!" Sanji said "She even denied us!"

"She's really persistent, I mean she even tried to kiss Zoro" Nami added.

"She clearly likes him huh?" Shakky said, serving their drinks. "What was her name again?"

"Sayako Kaidou" Robin answered.

"But I can't believe Zoro's dad agreed on this whole marriage thing knowing full well of your relationship with him." Ussop added and Kaya nodded.

"Well you know it is business" Kohza said.

"And you know business, you'll pay for something to get what you want" Franky said.

"I don't care! Business or not, he doesn't have the right to just make Zoro marry her and she can't just take Zoro and make him hers" Sanji hissed.

"Don't worry Sanji, I'm sure Zoro will do something" Chopper said assuringly.

"Yeah, we all know that Zoro loves you" Luffy said while eating a whole chunk of meat.

"Thanks you guys" Sanji smiled, happy to know that his friends are here for them.

"Oh my god! Zoro-kun such a coincidence what are you doing here?" Sanji turned his head at the familiar voice. Sayako was there with two other ladies on the bar where Zoro and the others were, he felt a tick form in his head as she grabbed his arm and pressed it against her chest.

"What are you doing here?" Zoro hissed pulling his arm out of her grasp.

"We came here to have a good time" She said "and Oh yeah these are my friends" she turned to the two women behind her. "The red head is Uri and the brunette is Machi" she said "This is Roronoa Zoro my Fiancé"

"I am not your fiancé" Zoro hissed

"Buu! Don't be stingy Zoro-kun, I mean we are getting married since our father's companies will be merging soon" she said.

"What's going on?" Zoro turned his head to see his lover and the others approach them.

"Oh hello Sayako-chan, what does a beautiful lady like you want with a brute like him" Sanji said coldly as he sat on Zoro's lap, surprising the man and the others.

"Hmm…I was just wondering if Zoro-kun would love to dance with me and oh I don't know maybe have some fun with me" she smirked.

"Hmm.. But Zoro doesn't like dancing with girls and he's already content with drinking here and having conversation with his friends."

"Hey Sayako is that the pretend lover you say he has." Machi asked.

"Wow what a handsome man" Uri commented.

"Really now Zoro-kun still with the I'm all gay and his my lover act?"

"Poor man he must be being paid to act as his lover"

Uri reached out to Sanji and touch his cheek "Don't worry honey, you and I can have some fun tonight if you want." She said alluringly. But Zoro Swatted her hand and wrapped his arms around Sanji's waist. "I'm sorry but I'm not into women, especially poisoned meat" Sanji said holding onto his lover's hands.

"Look Sayako, I'm Gay and Sanji is my lover, were together everyone in here and the whole Campus knows of our relationship so I'm sorry but you have to tell your father to back off our engagement." Sayako looked at the people beside them and saw that what he was saying was true. Anger rose into her head.

"That's sick Zoro, two men in love? But no worries it's nothing a little bed time event won't cure, I will have you Zoro" she turned to Sanji "And I'm sure you'll realize that this means war"

She turned her back and walked off to leave, her two friends followed her. Luffy and the others went back to their table with Ace and Smoker leaving the two. Sanji got off but still holding his hand tugged at him to follow him.

They went to a local park and sat in one of its benches, the place was deserted at night and was quiet so no one could bother them.

Zoro looked at his lover's face and sighed, he knows how hard this is for Sanji.

"It looks good on you" Zoro said.

"Huh?"

"The bracelet, it suits you very well" Zoro placed a chaste kiss on Sanji's left hand.

"I know how had his must be for you, I'm sorry."

"No, don't be it's not like you wanted this right?" Zoro nodded. "we'll get through this okay?"

"Yeah" Zoro rested his forehead against Sanji and looked him in the eye and sighed "whatever did I do to deserve someone like you?" he smiled and placed a loving kiss on the others lips.
