LAST TIME

Aru blushed and nodded. "Thanks." She mumbled. Then realized she was still in a huge shirt and a coat, she blushed more and said, "I'll be right back Sanji-san."

Then she ran out, took a cold shower and got dressed.

Then she waltzed back in with her violin asking "Does the cook want a little music?"

NOW

Sanji turned smiling with his heart eyes and said "Anything my sweet Aru-san wants!"

She sighed and shook her head; He's never going to change… she though.

"You can make breakfast, FOR EVERYONE, and I'll play some music.

Sanji nodded and started to prepare a huge dish of food.

Aru settled herself on the table and started to play the violin;

As oceans collide

From the moon grows the sun

Arrest my breath

With no name and no one

Silence of the sound

And the color of the night

The sounds from the thoughts

And the thoughts from light

Fluid and sinking

I melt into the light

There's nothing but space

And my soul can take flight

Silence of the sound

And the colors of the night

The sounds from the thoughts

And the thoughts from light

Fall of an angel...

Falling...

By the time she opened her eyes and stopped playing Sanji was sitting on the chair right in-front of her never taking his eyes off of her.

"Did you like it Sanji-san, I love the quiet songs."

"That was amazing Aru-san, nothing else can describe it." He said truthfully. She seems so hard core usually, but when playing that instrument all of her devotion goes into those notes. She is one amazing, and lovely, woman.

"What are you thinking about Sanji-san?" she asked.

He shook his head. "Oh, nothing."

"I see that the food is done! I'll go and deliver it."

He tried to protest but she pushed on his shoulders till he sat back down.

"No! I got this, rest." She said and grabbing the 4 plates of food backed out of the kitchen.

Sanji shook his head and started to clean the dishes he had used. She is so different, not at all like the other women I've met, she is so strange but great.

With Aru

Aru walked over to a sleeping Zoro and kicked him in the head.

"Wake up you lazy bum! Food!"

He shot up, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

Aru just laughed set down the food and walked off leaving the, still shouting, swordsman behind.

She shouted, "FILL YOUR FACE WITH FOOD LETTUCE HEAD!"

Then she made her way over to Luffy.

"Yo, rubber boy, here's some meat for your stomach!" she said as he took the plate from her.

"Thanks Aru-san!"

"No problem."

After going over to Usopp and Nami she stretched and walked over to the far end of the deck.

"I should do my daily stretches." She said to herself then began to exercise by, touching her head to her toes and holding positions, ect…

After about ½ hour she stopped stretching to see Nami beside her.

"Nami-san, why aren't you with your soul mate Lettuce Head?"

Nami looked at her then busted up laughing. "LETTUCE HEAD?"

Zoro walked over to them, "Can you keep it down, I'm trying to nap!"

Nami and Aru both looked at Zoro then fell to the deck laughing.

"That is the best name ever!" Aru shouted out loud.

Zoro looked slightly hurt and turned away; Nami suddenly stopped laughing and got up running after him to leave a still laughing Aru on the deck.

"Zoro-san!" Nami shouted.

"What?" he grumbled.

"Look, that isn't what we meant, I love your hair!" she bit her lip as if she had confessed too much.

"You do?" Zoro looked surprised.

"Yes, I do." She ran her hand through his hair.

Then he leaned over and kissed her.

Nami's eyes widened and she wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Finally he broke free of the kiss and hugged her.

"I'm happy I could finally do that Nami-san." He whispered in her ear.

"I'm glad too." She whispered back.

Then she took his hand they walked father away from the others, only 2 of the crew mates had noticed the kiss between the swordsman and navigator.

Sanji had grabbed Aru's hand and had hoisted her up off the deck.

"Ah, young love!" she said leaning against Sanji.

"So beautiful."

She laughed, "What brought you up here cook?"

"I was just taking a breath of air and saw a beautiful Aru-san laughing her head off on the deck.

"Ah yes, but Nami-san was the one who started it! She shouldn't have laughed at that name."

"What was the name?" Sanji inquired.

"Lettuce Head, for our dear Zoro-san!"

Sanji laughed. "That's great, now I'm mad at myself for not thinking of it myself!"

"Don't blame yourself; I have a knack for names!" she replied.

"Well then, I wont!" he countered.

"Do you want to spar?" she asked.

"Do I want to what?"

"Spar! You know, practice fighting?"

"Oh, sure." Sanji agreed

They took there stances and Luffy came up to watch, "What-cha doing?"

As they started Aru quickly ducked under Sanji's high kick saying, "Sparing!" she swung her leg out trying to trip him up but he jumped over her. He turned around and pushed her in the back making her stumble and then he advanced trying to add in a swift kick but as he did she anticipated what he was going to do and grabbed his leg pushing it upwards making him stumble. She slipped a small knife out of her belt and threw it. Sanji tried to move but couldn't because of the knife stuck in the fabric of his pants, he tugged at it furiously but it wouldn't come out. She threw another and it caught the other pants leg.

"Damn Sanji-san! Here, let me show you a good way to get out of a knife hold." She sighed.

She pulled out the knives like she were pulling them out of butter.

"You need to pull down and out not up, that just gets it jammed."

She spent the next couple of minutes explaining it to Sanji then asked him to try, it worked.

"See? That was pretty easy! Let's try sparing again." She said.

They tried to outmaneuver each other for a couple of minutes then after nothing was happening she started to chide him.

"Awwwww, the poor chef is getting tired! He's being beaten by a girl! What a shame!"

He swung out with one of his kicks and caught her off guard knocking her a few feet, she leapt up and taking out a long pointed needle tapped it on the deck letting it expand tell it was from her elbow to the tip of her finger in length. She quickly stepped up to him with the needle and stabbed it through an arm sleeve then using a dagger put it at his thought.

"No hard feelings Sanji-san." She said putting her weapons away.

Usopp and Luffy laughed, "YOU GOT BEAT BY A GIRL!"

"DO YOU WANT TO TRY AGAINST THAT DEMON!" Sanji yelled.

Aru quickly stepped up behind them and basked their heads together they put of foot on each of their backs.

"Too easy!" she said smugly, and then added "I'll take the "demon" expression as a flattery, thank you!"

As the others were fighting and laughing Zoro and Nami had gone up to the mast of the ship and were sitting there murmuring things to each other.

Aru and Sanji exchanged glances and Aru flopped down on two of the crewmates stretching.

"This is comfy! Join us Sanji-san!" Aru patted Usopp's back and Sanji sat down.

"You know, this is comfy!" he exclaimed while Luffy and Usopp groaned under the weight.

It continued like this for the next couple of days with Aru and Sanji spending a lot of time together, same with Zoro and Nami until something happened.

Sanji was sitting listening to Aru sing then he leaned over and coughed, blood fell into his hand. Aru stopped playing and jumped down from the table.

"Sanji-san?" she asked.

He looked at her and said, "Don't you worry flower, I'm fine." but the fell into her arms.

"SANJI-SAN!" she shouted.
