I'M SO CRAZY NOW, WAUG! calm down I might redo it but I'm gonna take a break from that one and remember not to leave editing windows for my FF open when 6 yr olds are around…FYI I'm excited because my favorite number is 13 and its chapter 13!

Silent Whisperer

LAST TIME

Even in the closing memories, there are always

Whispers that cannot be forgotten

Even on the shattered mirror shards,

New scenery is reflected

The quiet window on the beginning morning

The body that is changing to zero is being pleased

I won't search beyond the sea from now

The shining thing is always here,

It can be found within me

NOW

Sanji quietly listened to Aru's song then grabbed her and pulled her down to him so that she was lying flat on top of him. Surprised she giggled and rested her chin on his chest while reaching her arms out playing with his shining blond hair. He sat up quickly and kissed her passionately. Aru returned the kiss and felt his tongue trace over her lips gently. She sighed and let her arms fall from his hair to wrap around his neck, gently he pulled her down to the bed with him and continued to kiss her, letting his hands begin to wander. She broke free after another minute and Sanji looked a little confused, "We don't want to hurt your rib do we?" she purred.

"…no" he said knowing she was right.

She crawled off the bed a quickly changed back into her normal everyday clothes throwing the bloodstain ones under a table, but still, it was enough to get the blond haired cook drooling. She crawled back onto the bed and nestled into his arm she kissed his nose and turned over curling her legs up to fit into his. He settled down for a quick nap and some quiet talking. This rib better heal fast.

On Deck

"Meeeeeeeeeeeeaaat!" Luffy howled pacing around the deck.

"There's meat in the kitchen, go get it yourself. We're won't!" Nami shouted to the rubber boy.

At the mention of the meat Luffy and Usopp high tailed it into the kitchen where Nami promptly slammed the door and pushed some barrels in front of it.

"That should hold them, for a little while." She said.

"Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" Zoro muttered, he hadn't seen anything that had just happened because, one he was lifting heavy weights on his back while doing push ups, and two, a cat's tail was lazily drooped over his eyes.

Nami laughed and picked Kika off Zoro, cradling the cat. She nuzzled the soft fur, "You're so cute!"

"Stupid cat gets all the attention." Zoro grumbled.

"I was talking about you!" Nami laughed.

"Huh?"

"You can be so stupid." She said putting a foot on his head making him stop.

He grunted and rolled the weights off his back, Nami offered him a hand and pulled him up off the deck.

"Thanks." He said and kissed her forehead and put a hand around her waist and they walked over to the kitchen door.

"How are you doing in there?" Zoro shouted.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MEAT?" Luffy howled.

"You mean this?" Nami tapped the barrels and nodded. "It's all in there."

"You devil!" Zoro said and kissed her.

"WHAT?" Luffy shouted and mournfully looked through the small glass window at the barrels.

"Until you can control yourself, you get none. Also, Sanji-san would kill us if you ate it all while we're watching." Nami said pointing a finger at him.

Luffy whined and slid back under the window, his moaning muffled.

Zoro smiled and said, "The meat will go stale if we don't get it back into the cold though…"

"Not for a while." Nami grinned. Zoro kissed her again.

10 Minutes Later

A half-asleep Sanji crawled onto the deck and looked around. There were Zoro and Nami, sharing a private joke and kissing. From the kitchen came an unearthly howl, "What the hell?" Sanji muttered and he saw the barrels blocking the door and pushed them aside. Nami turned to see Sanji moving the barrels and shouted "I wouldn't do that!" Then suddenly a blur shot past Sanji, knocking him to the ground.

"LUFFY-SAN!" Sanji shouted and the captain, who had his face in one of the barrels. Sanji pulled the captain aside to see the meat stacked in the barrels.

"WHAT?" he shouted and threw the captain away, dragging the barrels into the kitchen trying to preserve them from the shark-like Luffy. Problem was that Usopp, who was still in the kitchen, and hastily grabbed some meat from the barrel and decided to run.

"NOBODY CAN STOP THE GREAT USOPP!" he shouted running out the door.

THWUMP! Usopp fell flat on his face and looked up to see a now awake Aru standing over him. "Don't you wake me up like that again…" she growled.

5 Minutes Go By

Aru sat contentedly in the kitchen head down on the table, quietly snoring, asleep. Luffy and Usopp were on the floor, dazed, with Aru's footprints all over their bodies and a dent in their foreheads from her violin case.

"Wow Aru-san, you did some damage!" Nami exclaimed walking into the kitchen after making sure it was safe. Aru grunted and moved her head slightly.

"Where's the cook? Everyone's hungry." Nami inquired sitting on the kitchen table.

Aru sleepily pointed a finger towards the pantries where noise could be heard.

"Sanji-san, any food back there? Everyone's hungry." Nami said jumping off the table and poking her head around the pantry corner to find him digging through supplies and stacking them on the table for dinner.

"Everyone but rubber boy and needle nose." Sanji said pointing a finger towards the two on the floor.

"I'll leave you to it then." Nami said and walked back out of the room, stopped, grabbed Luffy and Usopp who were now awake but to scared to move and wake Aru up, and dragged them out of the kitchen away from the irritated cook and the sleeping musician.

"Too loud." Aru mumbled as Nami was leaving.

Sanji immerged from the pantry caring different vegetables and meat. He proceeded to make a large stir fry, the smells wafting out of the kitchen and to the waiting crew.

"FOOD!" Luffy shouted then quickly shut up as he saw Aru's head shoot up from the table before settling back down.

"You get none of it. Remember?" Zoro told Luffy.

Luffy sat like a lost puppy, whimpering.

After a couple minutes Sanji popped his head out of the kitchen saying that the food was ready. He stood in the doorway with a frying pan in his hand, just daring Luffy and Usopp to try and make their way into the kitchen. Zoro and Nami walked into the kitchen to find Aru sitting at the table stretching.

"You woke up." Nami stated taking a seat next to her.

"How did I get in here?" she muttered sleepily.

"God, well you woke up and beat the crap out of Luffy-san and Usopp-san, now they are banned from having any dinner, plus they have dents in their foreheads from that evil violin case of yours!" Nami said giggling.

"Really?"

"Yes really!" Zoro said sitting down next to Nami.

"Dinner!" Sanji proclaimed after emerging from the doorway to make sure the other two didn't have any ideas.

"For the two lovely ladies first!" he said setting a plate down for Aru and Nami.

"And for you." Sanji put a plate down for Zoro before grabbing his own and sitting down next to Aru.

"Thank you!" Aru said kissing his cheek lightly making his little pink eyes pop up.

"You are so predictable Sanji-san" Nami said shaking her head.

"I know he is! But that's so cute!" Aru giggled taking a bite of the food. "Wonderful." She told the chef then turned back to Nami and they discussed what would be the best thing to do with the ship that was still anchors by their own.

"After they finished eating Sanji, seeing that Nami and Aru were done, took there plates over to the sink. Zoro, of course, had to get up and give Sanji his plate.

Aru quickly walked over to Sanji and gave him a hug from behind; taking his moment of surprise she grabbed some of the leftover food from the counter and kissed his cheek. "Thanks for the food." She sung and walked out of the room.

Aru walked out of the kitchen onto the deck and walked over to Luffy and Usopp who were staring mournfully at the door to the kitchen. "You don't deserve it but, here." Aru proffered the nabbed food to the crewmates.

"THANK YOU!" Luffy squealed, hugging Aru while filling his face with the food.

"Slow down with that food Rubber Boy you'll kill yourself and please don't squeeze me like a squeaky toy!" she said squirming out of his grip. She laughed and left the sharpshooter and captain to fight over the food.

"Greedy bunch." Zoro commented nodded towards the other crew members.

"What do you think?" she said sarcastically.

1 Week Later at about 9PM (FYI the crew has lights on the deck)

The crew was relaxing and everything was calm, Nami had finally declared Sanji's rib healed and he was very happy about that. He walked up behind Aru who was down on hands and knees scrubbing the deck, muttering something about heavy labor and lazy bums. "No lady should be doing that, especially not my sugar coated candy!" he exclaimed offering his hand.

Aru spun around still on her knees at the sound of his voice and looked up at him, squinting to make out who it was. After a moment she recognized who it was and grasped his hand, and was pulled onto the deck.

"Your so sweet!" she purred then said, "If you care that much then get that bastard swordsman or pin nose to do it!"

Sanji laughed and kissed her nose. "Later darling!" he said, "But guess what good news I have."

"I don't know! You know I hate guessing!"

"My rib has been officially declared as healed!"

Aru's eyes took on a mischievous glint and she said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Darling! You promised." He said horrified. She hugged him and laughed, "I'm teasing! Don't worry, I didn't forget." She said grinning. "But I can't…"

Sanji's face fell.

"I still have to finish cleaning this deck and then I'll be to tired to do anything." She pouted. Quickly Sanji walked over to the dozing needle nose and rubber captain and grabbed their shirt collars. He pulled them back over to the lightly smirking Aru.

"You never do anything to help this ship so clean it!" he said almost shouting. Then he grabbed Aru around the waist and pulled her away.

"Sanji-san is evil now." Luffy pouted looking at the rag and water sitting there waiting to be used.

Sanji pulled Aru down into her room, gently, but grinning the whole time. Once in her room he pulled her down onto the bed and kissed her. Her hands smoothed up his shirt playfully and she grinned, "My cuddly Sanji-san." She purred.

Later

Aru was looking up at the ceiling cuddling a bear chested, sleeping Sanji. Aru smiled at him and brushed a lock of hair from his mouth. I hope this lasts forever.

Hey! I know this chappie took a while but my computer when BLONK and crashed for a couple of days! So yes, I do hope that your enjoying…I have a really good outline for my next chapter so GO ME! Oh, just to straighten this out: Sanji, Haru, Kish, and Hatori are MINE!
