LAST TIME

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 then fell into her arms.

"SANJI-SAN!" she shouted.

NOW

Zoro and Nami ran in hand in hand.

"What's wrong?" Nami asked.

Aru didn't look up but just held Sanji tight.

Zoro walked over to Aru and looked at Sanji's hand.

Zoro asked Aru, "What happened?"

"He just coughed it up." She said simply.

"Let's get him down to a bed." Zoro said picking up Sanji's feet.

Aru held onto him by grabbing under his arms and Nami walked in front holding the door open for them.

"You can put him in my room. He usually slept in the kitchen." Aru murmured.

Zoro looked shocked, Aru has never shown so much emotion, she is always so tough! He thought to himself.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH SANJI-SAN?" Usopp shouted.

Nami grabbed his shirt collar, "Shut up and get Luffy-san! We'll be in Aru's room!"

Usopp ran off to get Luffy.

In Aru's Room

Aru and Zoro laid Sanji on the bed softly, Zoro got up to go and stand with Nami but Aru sat still holding Sanji on the bed.

Luffy and Usopp ran into the room.

"What's the matter with Sanji-san!" Luffy half shouted.

"KEEP IT DOWN!" Aru screamed then looked back at Sanji. "We don't know."

Next Day about 4 AM

Sanji awoke without opening his eyes to Aru's music, she was singing softly;

Slumber now my darling one

Rest for now the day is done

Mother sings a lullaby

Hush my darling

Do not cry

May your sleep be as sweet as the wind on the waves

Blowing gently toward far happier days

May each breath be a promise to help you believe

Were off to the land of our dreams

Were off to the land of our dreams…

She continued softly but Sanji fell back asleep to Aru's voice.

When he woke again he found Aru curled up next to him her head on his shoulder. His heart eyes began to pop up when he felt a tapping on his head.

Usopp was looking down at him.

"She stayed with you all night, never even left the room! Not once! But I had important things to do and that's why I couldn't stay with you! Brave captain Usopp! Like I was…" Usopp rattled on about what he was doing as Sanji turned his attention back to the sleeping Aru, she shifted and she wrapped her arms around his arm and slept on.

After a little bit, Usopp left to have Nami and Zoro walk in.

"Sanji-san, are you feeling better?" Nami asked.

"And how is that demon next to you." Zoro grumbled looking at the sleeping Aru.

"I'm fine; I don't know what happened to me." Sanji said looking at Aru, still.

"Well, you aren't allowed up for the next couple of days." Nami stated.

Sanji nodded and settled back down.

"I'm going to try and get some rest so can you two lovebirds leave?" Sanji said looking Zoro in the eye.

Zoro quickly pulled Nami out of the room.

As they closed the door Aru shifted and yawned, she opened her eyes to see Sanji awake.

Aru looked surprised then flung her arms around him.

"Sanji-san! You're awake!" she smiled.

He looked surprised then smiled back, "Don't worry Aru-san, I'll be fine."

Aru tightened her hug so as not to show tears.

Don't you dare cry now Aru! Damn it! She thought to herself.

Sanji smiled and his heart eyes popped up.

Aru let go of him slightly embarrassed and jumped up.

"I'll get some food, and don't you dare get out of bed!" she growled the last part and ran out of the room.

15 Minutes Later

Aru came back with a steaming bowl. "It isn't as good as your food but I think it should do." She told him.

After Sanji ate they talked for a while, Aru explained what happened and Sanji looked confused.

"I wonder what that was." He murmured.

Aru took out her violin and Kika jumped onto the bed, curling up next to Sanji.

Aru began to sing and soon he was back to sleep.

Two days later

Aru took Sanji's hand and helped him out of the bed. He went and took a cold shower, put on some fresh clothes and made a dinner for everyone, (meat for Luffy). Then he went back down under the deck to check on Aru. He found her asleep curled up holding a picture in her hand. Sanji slid the picture out of her hand and looked at it. It was a boy just about 7 years old, the picture was torn but it still showed his face and dark red hair.

Aru sat up rubbing her eyes. "That's my brother, he's 12 now." She yawned and took the picture back from him putting it back into her coat pocket.

"He looked like you, but not as beautiful." He said adding some charm.

She looked at him, "The only reason I'm not snapping your arm off it because you are still recovering from that freaky illness." She warned.

"Where is he now?" Sanji asked ignoring her warning.

Aru stood up and walked out of the room leaving a bewildered Sanji standing there.

She walked over to the far side of the deck and pulled out her photo. She sat with tears streaming down her face, "Iaki-san, why did you leave? Why did you decide to go?"

Aru sat looking at the photo facing the sea until she felt a pair of arms around her waist, hugging her. She whipped around the tears still fresh on her face and saw Sanji standing there. Aru's eyes filled with tears again and she hugged him back sobbing into his coat.

"I don't know!" she sobbed, "He just left, he was my brother, we shared everything…Then he just decided to leave, all he did was leave his picture."

Sanji hugged her tighter and used one hand to smooth down her ruffled hair.

After a minute she stopped crying but didn't let go of Sanji. "I was worried about you." She admitted blushing slightly.

He smiled at her, then leaned down and brushed her cheek with his hand and kissed her.

Aru looked astonished then slowly kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, his arms rested on the small of her back and his eyes showed his care for her.

At that moment Zoro and Nami walked around the ship and saw Aru and Sanji. Zoro was about to shout out but a still amazed Nami clapped her hand over his mouth and pulled him away.

Oblivious to the two crew mates Sanji continued to kiss Aru, gently and then more passionately until she slowly broke free.

"Why did you do that Sanji-san?" she asked smiling softly.

"I didn't want you to worry, I wanted to show you that I cared too." He told her watching her smile, then he kissed her again.

So much FLUFF! YAY!

Sanji: I'm so happy for you! starts to run to hug but then remembers Aru and waits

Aru: Good boy.
