Chapter 6

Chelsea dove down after the plummeting swordsman. Oh god. She thought. Please let me get to him in time! I don't want him to die!

Zolo was helpless as he fell, he couldn't move, he opened his eyes and saw Chelsea diving after him. He heard her scream in pain and then in a flash a pair of big white feathery wings appeared behind her. She blasted down towards him as he approached the ground below. As she came closer and closer Zolo saw that her wings were tipped in red. Blood, Zolo thought, something happened to make those wings come bursting through her back!

Chelsea was now mere feet away from him as she got closer she reached out her arms. He tried to reach out his hands but he couldn't. She burst towards him and grabbed him around his waist as the merry go's sails flew up around them. She halted two feet above the deck and they hovered there for a moment as she caught her breath. She very gently set him down. Then she herself collapsed onto the ground. She held her arms and whimpered a bit.

"Zolo I'm so sorry!" she whispered. She looked behind her and saw a pair of huge wings. She gasped and turned away from him. Zolo held out his hand but then took it back as he realized that her back was still bleeding.

"Chelsea…!" he said as he crawled over to her.

"Don't touch me!" she screamed and she flew off to the other side of the ship. Zolo got up and followed her. When he got to her she had her wings wrapped around her. He went around to the front and opened them up and saw her crying. He went over and hugged her.

"It's okay…" he said softly "It's over now we're safe…" Chelsea sobbed lightly into his shirt.

"I'm so sorry Zolo! I didn't mean to let go of you! It's just my back hurt and now I have these stupid things that make me look monstrous!" She sobbed.

"Hey! Don't say that! They look beautiful on you." Zolo said as he held her at arms length. She looked up at him and turned a light shade of pink. She smiled a bit and then hugged him.

"I'm so glad I caught you! I don't know what I'd do if you had hit the ground from that high up!"

After a few more moments of just the two of them hugging they stood up.

"Come on." Zolo said as he took her hand and helped her up. "I think dinner would be ready by now." He said and they went down to the mess hall. They opened the door and found every one else already eating. When they walked in the group of pirates turned to face them.

"And just where have you been?" Sanji asked rudely as Zolo stepped in first.

"He's been with me…" Chelsea said as she entered from behind him. Every one's jaw dropped as they looked at her wings that wouldn't fit in the door way. "He was—flying with me--!" Chelsea said as she bent over and walked in. Sanji's heart eyes popped out.

"You really are my angel!" He said as he got up and went over to her. Sanji was about to hug her when Zolo coughed loudly and cocked an eyebrow at the cook. Sanji didn't hug her and he brought her over to a spot next to where he was sitting. Zolo sat next to her and began to eat while every one asked about her wings and when they could fly with her. She smiled and told them maybe later because she was tired enough. She began to eat her food in silence.

After dinner Chelsea walked out onto the deck. Sanji followed her neglecting his kitchen clean up duties he had after every meal. He came up from behind and hugged her. She turned and saw him.

"Hi Sanji!" she giggled. Sanji looked at her seriously for a moment and then smiled as well.

"How are you my angel?" he asked her.

"Full!" she laughed and tried to get out of his arms, but Sanji wouldn't let her go.

"You know Chelsea…with those wings you are really beautiful…I wouldn't mind having them all to myself…" he said as he hugged her. He took a strand of her hair. "You're hair smells nice…" he whispered in her ear. Chelsea could feel his breath against her cheek. "I want you all to my self…" he whispered as he kissed her cheek. Chelsea tensed up. Sanji looked at the girl her.

"S-Sanji! I really don't like this---I---!" she faltered and stopped as Sanji kissed her neck. She clamped her eyes shut, and tried to push him away.

"Sanji pl—please stop! I really don't like this. I really don't!" she said as she struggled to get the cook to let her go.

"Why would I let you go?" he asked her. "Some one else might take you from me." He said as he emphasized the some one. Chelsea tried to push him away again. "And I don't want HIM to take you… you're too good for HIM." he whispered in her ear and then he kissed it.

"Sanji STOP!" She yelled as she pushed him away. He fell onto the ground. "I'm sorry!" She said "But I asked you to stop!" she offered her hand to the cook. He took her hand and yanked her down on top of him.

"You are mine now…" he said as he rolled over on top of her. "And no one else can have you." He said as he pinned her wrists down.

"SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME!" she screamed. "HELP---!" She tried to finish but she couldn't as Sanji covered her mouth with his hand. Zolo walked out from his room and saw them. Rage boiled up inside of him he ran over and yanked the blonde cook off of Chelsea and pounded him against the wall.

"What were you doing to her?" Zolo hissed.

"None of your concern you crap swordsman." Sanji said cool like.

"We had a deal remember!" Zolo hissed in Sanji's face. Sanji smiled lightly.

"I haven't broken it yet." He grinned. Zolo growled and released him after giving him a swift kick to the groin. He went over to where Chelsea was and found she wasn't there. He looked around and heard soft sniffling from behind the mast. He went around and saw Chelsea sitting on the ground crying lightly while hugging her knees.

"Hey…" Zolo said as he kneeled next to her. "Are you okay?" he asked as he put his hand on her shoulder. She threw her arms around the green haired man and sobbed uncontrollably into his shirt.

"I was so scared!" She sobbed. Her wings fluttered lightly in the wind as Zolo hugged her tightly.

"It's okay now Sanji said he was high on some crack of some sort and it messed up his judgment and he's sorry. Right Sanji?" Zolo asked loudly.

"Yeah…" Sanji moaned as he got up after recovering from the blow. Chelsea stood up slowly and wiped her tears away. Zolo stood up too.

"Thank you Zolo." She said as she went up on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek. Zolo felt his face grow hot. She hugged him and rested her head on his chest. "I'm sorry I'm always such a bother to you. But I'm really tiered now so I'll turn in for the night." She smiled lightly and let him go and walked away towards her room. Zolo stared after her.

'Even though I'm in this to prove that crap cook wrong…' Zolo thought back to earlier that day before he and Sanji were caught fighting.

Flash Back

Sanji was preparing food for dinner when Zolo walked in. Sanji looked up.

"What do you want cactus head?" the cook said angrily as Zolo sat on the counter.

"What? Can't a guy just come in to escape from a normal day?" he asked the cook.

"LISTEN STUPID I'M THE ONE ASKIN THE QUESTIONS HERE!" Sanji shouted as Zolo looked at him funny. "Now what do you want?" he asked as he regained his composure.

"Well…" Zolo shifted uncomfortably.

"You know Zolo I've never seen you take interest in any girls before…" Sanji said completely over taking Zolo from his question. Zolo looked at him even weirder.

"Well I haven't really had time for girls since my training…I guess…" he shrugged. He'd never really wanted to be in a relationship no one really interested him.

"Well you sure are growing attached to Chelsea don't you think?" Sanji asked him. Zolo blinked and thought about this for a moment.

"Yeah she's a nice kid and all but what does this have to do with any thing?" Zolo asked the cook. Sanji set down his knife and turned to the swordsman.

"You do like her like her don't you?" Sanji asked. "It's obvious the way you only smile when she's around and stuff…" Sanji shrugged.

"What in the hell are you talking about? I smile all the time!" Zolo lied.

"Uh huh and I bet you couldn't even get Chelsea to fall in love with you." Sanji said as he resumed chopping up carrots for his stew.

"Pshaw I could to!" Zolo protested.

"So you'll take the bet?" Sanji asked.

"Yeah well if I go for this bet you can't act giddy around her okay?" Zolo said as he got off of the cabinets.

"I bet that you couldn't do it and if I win you do dishes for a year." Sanji said as he wagged a finger at the swordsman.

"But if you lose?" Zolo asked. Sanji thought for a moment.

"If I lose I'll cater to your ever cooking whim for a year. You say you want caviar BLAM you've got caviar." Sanji said as he dumped the carrots into the pot.

"But I don't like caviar… it's too fancy…" Zolo said as he walked over towards the door. Sanji's jaw dropped.

"How can you not like caviar?" he asked as he set his wooden spoon down.

"I just don't and you can go eat worms Sanji." Zolo said as he opened the door to exit. Some thing collided with his head. It wasn't Sanji's foot it was a frying pan.

"You SHTTY COOK WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Zolo screamed.

"Eat worms yourself you shitty swordsman!" Sanji said as he glared at Zolo. Zolo charged and they began to fight.

End flashback

'And that was that.' Zolo thought as he clamored into his bunk. Slumber soon enveloped him.
