They all helped look for Zoro for a week or two before letting loose. It's like before they found him but now what's his excuse? They couldn't spent twenty-four hours looking for him, they've got their own lives to attend to but for Sanji that life now involves Zoro and Megumi.

They are worried that they will never find them. Zoro somehow eluded them before if he doesn't want to be found then he won't be.

Sanji just got worse and worse. He wants them back. He doesn't understand why Zoro left in the first place. Everything was going well wasn't it?

Sanji walked out of the kitchen, tray in his hand with plates of food. He was starting to break down waiting for Zoro to call or for someone to find him. He heard the chime of the door as he set down the dishes for the customers.

"Hey wait kid!" Sanji looks up from setting down the plates of food for the customer to see the waiter who's supposed to be at the podium in front of the front door running into the seating area.

"Daddy!" Sanji looks further down to see Megumi running up to him. She clings onto his legs.

"Megumi? What are you doing here?" Sanji asks.

"Sanji, she's your daughter?" The waiter asks looking shocked. That's kind of understandable.

"Yeah, it's ok." Sanji says. The waiter nods then walks away. He looks down at Megumi hugging his legs really tight. She's wearing the school outfit Sanji had bought her to wear for school. Her hair is nice and pretty too. She wore a navy blue school girl outfit with the blazer on. Her knee high socks that are hidden by her purple shoes that stand out. "What are you doing here?" Sanji looks up and around not finding Zoro anywhere. "Did you come alone?"

"Can me and mommy come back? I'm sorry I got you in trouble, it won't happen again. Can we please come back?" Megumi looks up her eyes somehow have gotten bigger as she begs.

"Of course I never wanted you both to leave but where is Zoro?"

"I'm suppose to be at school." She says looking down.

"What?" Sanji asks. Did she skip school? Hopefully she told someone. He hopes he won't get in trouble with the authorities. Just then he feels his phone vibrate. He sees its Zoro, he doesn't have a good feeling. He answers putting the phone to his ear.

"You answered!" Zoro yells sounding shocked. "Megumi went missing. The teachers call saying they can't find her. I've searched everywhere and anywhere to find her. Have you seen her?" Sanji could hear how freaked out he is. He sounds out of breath too.

"Relax, shes fine. She's with me."

"At the restaurant? All blue?"

"Yes."

"I'll be right there." Zoro says and hangs up. Sanji looks down at Megumi who knows she's in trouble.

"Why don't you sit on the table." Sanji says pointing at the empty table next to them. Megumi nods then goes to sit down. Sanji tells the waitress to watch Megumi while he tells Zeff.

An hour passes while they wait for Zoro. Sanji sat next to Megumi watching her color. Sanji was a little curious on where they were staying. Hopefully Zoro did go back to his old job, he knew he was having trouble finding a regular one. "Sanji! Where's Megumi?" Sanji and Megumi look up to Zoro running in. He stood there staring, chest visibly breathing in and out deeply. Zoro is out of breath.

"Mommy," Megumi gets off the chair and stands in front of Zoro. He falls to his knees and brings her into a bone crushing hug.

"I was so worried. I'm so glad you're ok."

"Mommy I want to go back home." Megumi says as she starts crying. "I want to go back to daddy's. I want my old room. I don't want my new one." She wraps her arms around Zoro neck. Zoro is shocked, so is Sanji. Zoro hasn't seen her cry like this since she was a baby. Sanji didn't think she would cry over this. Zoro looks up at Sanji.

"Why don't we go in the back to talk?" Sanji stands. Zoro looks around. Well this is embarrassing. Everyone was staring at them. Zoro attempts to stand up but Megumi holds on to him.

"Megumi?"

"I won't let go." She declares. Zoro nods and just carries her. He follows Sanji into the kitchen where everyone stops what they are doing and stares. Zoro could feel them staring at him and Megumi.

"Zeff, we're going to be using your office." Sanji announces as they walk towards a big wooden door. Some sort of symbol engraved in it. Sanji opens the door and Zoro walks in first sitting down on the small couch as Sanji closes the door. Zoro could see the others trying to get get a last look at him and Megumi. Sanji leans against the desk and crosses his arms. Zoro couldn't look at Sanji and Sanji notices he hasn't made eye contact at all. Where does he even begin? "Why did you leave?" Sanji asks. Just getting into it. He needed answers.

"The one thing I didn't want to be is a burden. I didn't mean to interrupt or disturb your life." Zoro doesn't look at Zoro. This isn't how Zoro acts, like he's just a burden, like he takes up space.

"What happened that made you disappear and take Megumi?" Sanji asks observing Zoro. Zoro thinks then lowers his head.

"We heard you and your girlfriend shouting. I asked Megumi if she would come with me by the way."

"So you both agreed?" Sanji says, it's his fault he should have tried harder to get in contact with Lohan and tell her. "You're not a burden."

"We're not?" Zoro asks looking at Sanji.

"I didn't realize it till after meeting Megumi but I'm lonely, well was. I never had anyone wait for me at home, happy to see me, or going out on the weekend to the park. I like you guys being there. I'll do anything to keep you both there. And she's not my girlfriend."

"She's not?" Zoro asks, shocked and confused. She looked like it.

"Not anymore. I wanted more but she like where we were. We've been together for three years and she hasn't even moved in. It not your fault or Megumi's that we broke up." Sanji says making sure he doesn't misunderstand. "It was never going to work out." Sanji says looking sad. He spent three years with her but he's not sad because he left her but that he spent so much time on her. "So will you come back?"
