Lightning striking about my head, thunder clashing in my ears, being crouched down in the rain, and I'm scared. Roronoa Zoro, fierce warrior, toughest swordsman of all the sea's, and I was scared of a stupid thunderstorm. It was just something about the fact that light could be faster then myself and it could kill in an instant.

I'm drenched from head to toe, crouched under a tree to try and keep dry, even though I'm completely soaked. I lost everyone, I don't know where they've gone, and they might as well of been dead to me.

"I just know…I'm going to die out here…"I hugged my knees close to my chest. "There's no way I can survive this…I'm gunna die out here…and I didn't even reach my goal." I buried my face into my knees, and for the first time in, God…over ten years…I cried. I can feel everything slipping away…everything leaving me…it's getting darker and colder outside, and I know it's all gone. I didn't even know I had passed out.

I woke up with blankets upon blankets piled on me, and there was a warm body lying next to me. I didn't know who it belonged to at the time but I knew it was male. I slowly opened my eyes, the brightness of the sun blinding me momentarily.

"So you're awake. Good to see that. I thought I had lost you last night when you were shaking so badly." Sanji's voice flowed through my ears, and an arm squeezed me tightly around the chest, thin hair brushing against my shoulder as a head lay there. As far as I could tell, I only was wearing a pair of boxers…and so was Sanji. I must have had hypothermia, and he was my extra heat. I smiled, it didn't matter that he was the only other person there. I rolled over towards him, wrapped my arms around his bony shoulders, and squeezed.

"Thank you." were the only words that left my mouth before I drifted off back into an uneasy sleep.
