It seriously had been nearly half a year since I posted the last chapter. OMG! I do remember but work had been like crazy that I had no time to re-read nor I had time to write anything. I tried for a paragraph or so, but I didn't find the perfect idea to continue the whole story. I was soooooooo down!

Though fyi, I got this chapter going more than 30 already, wish me luck! I'll do my best to finish the whole series… so please please please, encourage me! Muwahahhah!

Well then, enough blabbering, enjoy!

CURSED or BLESSED [23] : Different Kind of Love

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

"Shit! Hurry and bring them back into the Menneske!" Sanji wailed, realizing something. The other was just stay silent, didn't get what had happen.

"QUICK!" Sanji repeated, creating that bluish gate from before, connecting to the Menneske Verden.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

"I HAD ENOUGH! What the hell were you been doing these past days?! He is just a mere human!"

"Bu-but my lord… he has… We-we tried our best b-but we still couldn't mark him. It always disappeared seconds after we managed to." answered the round winged demon.

"Y-yes my lord… he is a strange human. Deurge said the truth, my lord." added the other pumpkin headed one.

"Beside he has a demon friend who was always around." the small reaper sulked.

"Yeah, yeah! Grimmer is right, my lord." the other two chirped desperately, pleading for their master forgiveness.

"Tsk! You guys are useless! Doom!" their lord shouted, calling another servant he got with him. Not a minute wasted, a small demon with ugly face and two small horns on its head appeared.

"Yes, my lord, did you summon me?"

"How will you responsible for their failure, Doom?!" the lord barked in anger.

"I-I… I will pun-punish them, my lord." Doom trembled, so did the three behind it.

"WHATEVER! I DON'T NEED YOUR EXCUSE!"

"My- my lord.. h-how about we… we kidnap him?" the pumpkin demon asked in fear, trying to make up their failure.

"Kidnap him? Are you sure?" the lord asked, eying the four of them intensely with a raging murder intention.

"Y-yes my lord. Ja-Jacko is right. Kidnap him. W-we sure, we-we can do- do that…" added Grimmer stuttered.

"I give you two days. You better be success, or else.."

"Y-Yes my lord!" all four echoed in unison, fearing for their life.

"Go! I won't accept any more failure!" the lord demanded in dark murky voice.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

"Urgh-" Luffy let out a soft grunt. Squinting his eyes, he clutched his black mane a bit to regain his conscious.

"Luffy!" came voices – many of them – Luffy couldn't tell which one was whose.

"Wh-..what hap-pened?" he asked with croaky voice, trying to open his eyes. His vision quickly adjusted to the room light and saw people were there. Several minutes later, he noticed all of them were there, but the first one he recognized was – indubitably– Law, that absurdly handsome demon.

"You passed out, so did Sabo-ya." The demon with goatee answered him, while the other demon was helping Luffy to sit.

"Feeling better?" Zoro asked after Luffy was sitting up.

"Why did I feel weak so suddenly?"

"Well, it wasn't a surprise actually, remembering that you two are Human slash Farlig." The blond popped up from behind Ace.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You two weren't supposed to be there you know, the Annen Verden."

"Uhh… why?"

"As far as we know, human can't stay in our world for whatever reason they might have." Zoro added.

"Why do you guys can stay here then?" Luffy frowned, pouting.

"Oh come on… why don't you google it? Maybe you'll find an answer." The Farligenete retorted while huffing, while Sanji couldn't hold back a laugh.

"Ngggh… what the fuck- happened… My head's hurt."

"Sabooo!" Ace quickly lunged to his blond and hugged him with all his might.

"A-Acee.. Aceeeee!" the dusty blond head gasped for air, flailing his hand to set himself free from the over tight hug, trying to push his lover.

"Ace.. He is dying now." Sanji warned the demon who was quickly let his lover go and giggling innocently. Sabo gave him a death glare.

"So, what happened exactly?"

"You guys passed out, because your body wasn't even compatible with Annen Verden. If you guys stayed much longer back then, you could die. Don't ask me the detail, I only know that much." Sanji gave a long but quick explanation.

Everybody's eyes were on Sanji but they said nothing.

"…S-so.. Are you guys going back?" Ace broke the awkward silence.

"… Yeah." Luffy was the only one answered.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

Sanji had yet to sleep when he heard a soft growl. At first, he thought it was Zoro's snores. But after some minutes later, he realized it wasn't exactly what he thought it would. Well, yeah basically it was coming from Zoro but, he wasn't snoring. He was growling softly, painfully. Sanji squinted and decided to do a quick check. He rolled to the edge of the bed and peered down where Zoro was sleeping – on a futon. He heard another painful growl, but now the growl was louder than before. The Vill was still sleeping despite all the painful expressions he made. His eyebrows furrowed furiously, eyes were twitching, teeth were gritting against another, loud and soft growls escape from his mouth once a while. Sanji hitched seeing his partner's condition.

[What the hell?!] He spat to himself. He quickly went out from the comfortable bedcover atop of his body and knelt beside the green head. At first Sanji hesitated but after another groan followed by some coughs, the blond quickly brushed the green mane and placed his hand on the top of the Vill forehead, trying to examine his body temperature. It was slightly higher than usual, but it wasn't dangerous.

[What happened to him? He was okay this evening…] Sanji thought confusedly.

At last the Nesatios reached the sleeping Vill's shoulder and nudge him carefully.

"Oi.. Marimo, wake up." But his voice had yet to reach the beast.

"Marimo… Baka Marimo." Sanji called again, this time louder while patting Zoro's face softly several times.

It woke him up.

"Wh-what?" he slurred, frowning weakly.

"Bad dream?"

"No… kkh… I don't think so.."

"What happened then?"

"Tomorrow 'k… I'm tired."

"You're not. Seriously!"

"What do you want? I said I'm tired and … khh… sleepy."

"Well yeah I know, but you're in pain. Don't try to hide that, fucker!"

"I don't feel any.. ughh… maybe but- I don't know-!" Zoro didn't continue his word, instead he clenched his chest and curled deeply.

"See… Gosh! Tell me, what's hurt?"

"I s-said… ukh.. I- d-don't know- aghh!"

"Shit! Marimo, it's not the time to play let's guess what is your sickness!"

"Fuc-cker I-… Ughh!"

"Ooiii!" Sanji barked and quickly flipped the green head to face him, while he himself straddled the stubborn Vill beneath him. Both men's eyes locked on one another, but in a blink of an eye, Zoro's only eye twitched and his breath starting to get heavy, halting seconds after seconds, his face flushed red. Sanji was getting more and more confused. He started to fear, because knowing nothing was the same as facing despair.

"Marimo please.. you have to tell me, what happened to you?" Sanji pleaded, towering over the sick Vill, he propped himself with both of his hand trapping the green head.

"Hhh…akk… do-nt know.. shit! Akhh… it.. fuckin… Kkhh…"

"Ma-!" the Nesatios didn't – couldn't even finish the word when suddenly he had been pulled and Zoro's lips were already laced onto his. Basically, it was him who crashed onto the beast but the green head was the one who pulled him down. Sanji tried his hardest to release himself, but Zoro's arm trapping him strongly, while the other hand was keeping his head onto him, and those kisses were full of lust hungrily devouring him. How could he break free from that?

Even after minutes later, Zoro was still kissing him deeply and to his surprised or delight – you name it – Zoro was starting to do some naughty bites to his lips, trying to do something Sanji couldn't understand. And then, Sanji lost control. He moaned, parted his lips only a little and that was when Zoro's tongue quickly intruded into him, playing with his own, licking every crook and cranny of him, tasting all of Sanji. The blond tried very hard to regain himself, tried hard to break free but it was futile. He was weakened greatly. Those sweet hungry kisses were crazily addictive, making him wanted more and more, and more of that Vill. He felt something strange swirled inside him, something dangerous but mind-numbing. Something he longed for all these years but he couldn't get it. Then he felt something underneath him, nudging his lower part.

"Ma-rhi…" Sanji let out a breathless word, calling his dangerously sexy beast partner. Zoro didn't say anything, he just responded by a low husky growl. With a swift move, Sanji was already underneath the green head. The Nesatios realized he was staring the beauty of that perfectly well-built muscled body atop of him. Oh, how much self-control he needed not to touch and trace all those excellent curvatures.

"Wa-wait! Mari- aahhnn…" a moan just slipped sweetly from his pale lips when he felt Zoro's finger under his over-sized t-shirt, accidently – or maybe not – brushing his left nipple.

"Mari-.. mo what are- ahhhh…. Yo-you.. sto-stop it.. Mari-" Zoro cut his yaps immediately with his own mouth, devouring Sanji's delicate taste. Sanji wanted to buried his hands into the green mane, he wanted the arrogant beast to kiss him more. He just couldn't control it any longer, he let his instinct to take over. His slender arms quickly wrapped around Zoro's neck, his pale hand grabbed the beast's green head and he savored all of Zoro's.

"Ba.. ka cook-…" Sanji heard his name was slipping out from the Vill's sexy lips.

And then suddenly he was in panic, when Zoro was trying to tug his pants down. Sanji's eyes jerked open and with all his might, he pushed the Vill away from him, leaving the green head confused and stressed out.

"N-No… NO we can't-… we can't do this! Yo- you love Luffy. You love him!" Sanji barked in horror, wiping his lips roughly, trying hard to erase the sweet after taste.

"Wh-what?! Lu-Luffy? What in the name of… fuck! What are we doing?!" Zoro barked back, suddenly realizing what happened minutes before.

"Yes, Marimo-yarou! We aren't supposed to do whatever we were trying to- hey!" Zoro suddenly curled in again, trying to suppress something inside himself.

"What happened to you?! Are you playing with me?!" Sanji roared in anger.

"I wish, I am… Fuck! Leave me! If- if not… I might attack y-ou, again… rrrgghhh…"

"Atta-…. FUCK! NO! DON'T!"

"LEAVE!"

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

Sanji stood by the sink. He let the water tap open, rushing out some water. He scooped a handful of water and washed his face, again and again. Then he drank some of the water, trying to regain his self.

[What in the world happened to me?!] He thought bitterly, [What?! Do you think he is in love with you?! Am I dreaming? What an absurd idea to think! IDIOT!] He closed the tap water. Still leaning on the sink, he closed his eyes, thinking.

[B-but those kisses… and the way he called my name was.. -was… DARN! STOP IT!] Then he realized something.

[Wait! Isn't it… the thing Nami said back then? That mating season thing? Gosh! Oh gosh!]

[No.. no no no no! that's mean… those kisses were…. Were…! GAAAHHH!]

"Hey, Sanji. What are you doing here?" Usopp's voice came from behind him, making the blond jump in shock.

"FUCK!"

"Wh-what?" Usopp blinked in horror, getting such a horrendous cursed.

"Ah.. no- nothing. Sorry to surprise you." Sanji sighed, calming his nerve down.

"What happened? Why the shock? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. No worry."

"You can tell me anything if you want. Or Zoro if you prefer to." The long nose Farligenete smirked mischievously.

"Yeah, thanks."The blond answered curtly.

"Well, if you don't mind. I want to take some milk in the fridge, so.."

"Ahh! Sorry. Yeah, sure. Help yourself. Anyway, goodnite." Sanji bid their farewell and went straight to the toilet. Yes Toilet.

"W-wait, Sanji but that's…"

"I know. I gotta do some business inside, if you don't mind…"

"Ah.. well, I won't bother you then. Good night."

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

[What in the name of…. Shit shit shit shit shit! What the hell happened to me? This is so painful!] The green head thought while growling in excruciating pain.

Speaking of pain,

[No… Is this what that witch told me? Mating season? Was that the reason I suddenly attacked that Nesatios?]

[Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck! I loved Luffy? What nonsense was he talking about? I loved Luffy but not in the way he- arghh! I couldn't think about this fuck! This is painful!] Zoro curled on the futon, hissing in pain, clenching his chest hard, breathing heavily. He could feel his body was on fire, his mind was numb and that little brother of him was raging hard,

[Stupid stupid little brother! Control yourself fuck!] But all was for nothing, he couldn't control his body's nature.

"Hey, marimo." Suddenly Sanji voice was resounding in his ear. He couldn't even tell whether it was real or his hallucination. He couldn't answer, the pain was too crazy to bear. If this what he had to endure one whole week, he might die, yeah.. died.

"Marimo."

"why do you-… come b-back?"

"I'll let you do me. But in one condition."

"A-are you out of-"

"Remember that this is NOT based on love. The feeling isn't mutual. I'll fucking kill you if you say it is."

"Then ki-kill me. I do-don't care… I don't need yo-r he-" but Zoro's words died down in his throat. Sanji lips were already on him, and it didn't help him to regain his self-control at all. Whether the blond was playing with him or not, he didn't want to know. First thing first, just take what he had been granted, that one thing he needed the most now, The blond hot Nesatios called Aho-Cook.

Once that sweet taste of Sanji was on him, the pain gone with no trace at all.

[Damn pain had to be cure by him, fucker!] The green head thought, while their tongues were battling against each other, swirling, dancing on fire.

Sanji was delicious, more than anything he had ever taste before. So sweet and calming, rich and hot, Zoro just couldn't stop to taste him. And this time, Sanji complied to anything he did. The blond let him stripped that slender pale body, he let the green head savored that amazing view in front of his sight. And to his surprised, this time Sanji was the one who deliberately tug down his boxer, revealing that raging hard manhood of the beast. Zoro realized Sanji's shock expression when he saw his, he smirked a bit, but he didn't let Sanji in daze for too long, because Zoro also needed to see all of him. With one swift move, Zoro took of the blond pants just to reveal a slightly wet white brief. The green head smirked when he saw Sanji was all flustered, both in embarrassment and excitement. He had to remove those slender long hands which was already covering the Nesatios' beautiful face.

"Let me see you." Zoro whispered huskily just right beside his partner ear.

"Shu-shut up hentai*1-marimo!"Sanji barked and quickly averted his face to the left, trying hard to slow down his crazy heart beating.

"Well, who serve the dish at first?" The beast smirked mischievously, licking the pale chin, tracing it to claim his left sensitive ear. The blond couldn't hold a delirious moan.

Sanji wanted to run, not to let him do whatever he wanted to, because Sanji knew, once he let the Vill did, he would get more and more. Whether he asked for it, or somehow, someway he would get it without he even asked for. And so, while his mind still worked, Sanji needed to run. It was easy, he only needed to kick him and off he went. But, his body, his heart, they didn't let him do it. Instead he wanted more of it. He wanted to be showered by his love if he could, but this time, even it was only lust, it would do. It pained him, but if that was the only thing he could get than it would be better than nothing at all.

And when he felt his own hard little brother was already inside a very hot wet cave, Sanji slipped out another delicious moan.

Unbeknownst to the blond, his moan adding fuel into the beast's raging lust. As much as he wanted to do it slowly, he just couldn't help it. The blond was the tastiest thing he ever had. Blamed it to those raging feeling he felt these past days. That feeling which everybody called love.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

[Is it true that Zoro-ya loves you?] – Torao 02.15 AM

[Yeap! I too love him, but not in the way Sanji thinks we are.] – you 02.16 AM

[What do you mean by that? Not in the way Sanji-ya thinks?] – Torao 02.18 AM

[I don't want to be Zoro's lover, I bet he thinks the same. Zoro is.] – You 02.18 AM.

[Oh. I understand now.] – Torao – 02.19 AM

[Why? Are you jealous of him? Or me? Shishishi~] You 02.20 AM

Luffy's heart skipped a beat after the last sent message. He was wondering what would the answer be.

[Torao jealous of Zoro? Seriously? Hahahaha~~] Luffy giggled and rolled on the bed, waiting for reply, but none came. Not even until the small noirette drifted to sleep.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

"Luffy! It's already past nine! Don't you have class today?!" Makino's voice heard from below. Luffy jerked his eyes open and quickly searched for his phone. Fuckin shit! It was 9.15 and his class started at 9.10, great! Rayleigh-sensei would be mad at him. Oh well, best not rushed then. He was already late and he better called a day off. Haha~ smart!

[Ah! That's right! Torao..] Luffy remembered the last chat they did. He checked his phone again, and yeah there was a message notification. Quickly, he searched for the message icon and opened it.

[I don't, baka! But I might kick that dense Farligenete's ass if he tries anything funny to you.] – Torao 07.10 AM

And Luffy was flying to the seventh heaven or might be eighth or ninth, he didn't know, he couldn't care less about anything anymore right now. Because he was so happy. It was funny how a simple stupid message could make him like this. Not even they joy of his and Zoro's meeting could compare to this. This was much much muuuch more blissful, much more satisfying.

Luffy's eyes still locked on to his phone while typing when he reached the bathroom. He didn't even see Sabo was beside him.

"G'mornin. You're late, aren't you?" Sabo greeted his little brother.

"Mornin, yeap I'm late. But never mind, it's best not to hurry because I'm already fucking late." The noirette answered still not changing his focus to his blond brother.

"THE HELL?! QUICKLY GET BATH MORON! AND STOP WITH THE CH-" Sabo shouted but suddenly stopped.

"Who are you chatting with? And what's with that overly idiot grin?" Sabo asked again, suspicious.

"Torao. And what grin? I don't do it overly, I do grin every day."

"Yeah, but not as… Are you-… Is he…"

"Huh?" Luffy finally set his attention to his brother who was hanging all his questions.

"Nah, forget it. Quickly take your bath and go to school! Don't be the same with that idiot!" Sabo barked, commanding his little brother.

"Fine…" The noirette sighed. He put the phone on the nearest table and went into the bathroom.

Convinced Luffy was showering, Sabo quickly took a peek into Luffy's phone, but it was lock. Luckily, a message notification was in.

[Yeah, you too. Take care of yourself. Study well.] – Torao 9.30AM

[Heehh…~ I am sooo right.] Thought the blond snickering then went away.

* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *

"Bye Sabo! I'll be back at night! I promised Ace to play a new game." Luffy squawked, waving his hand vigorously to his brother who was washing the dishes.

"Gosh! Don't trouble him too much, Luffy."

"I won't and he will join us as soon as possible, right?" the noirette grin.

"Join us?" Sabo repeated the words.

"When will you propose him?" with that the dish in Sabo's hand slipped out, luckily it was plastic made so it didn't break.

"THE HELL LUFFY?!" Sabo flustered cutely with fire surging out from his mouth while Luffy was already ran out the house before he was literally killed by a raging dragon.

"Pheww~~ that was close." The little noirette sighed in relieve successfully slipped out from danger.

[Today will be a great day~] he beamed brightly.

"Yosh! Let's go!" He grinned while stretching a bit and set out to the college.

He didn't even reached half of the way, when suddenly he felt something hard hit the nape of his neck then everything was dark.
