Sanji made his way up to the roof, where Zoro had told Sanji to meet him. But when Sanji got up there he found Zoro unconscious lying in a pool of his own sick.

Sanji had put Zoro on his back and slowly made his way back to the common room. The cook lay the swordsman down on the bed in the medical room before fetching Chopper and Kaya. The two doctors after giving him a once over came to the same conclusion. Zoro would be gone much sooner than anticipated.

"He's dying Sanji," Chopper said not wanting to look at the cook's face.

"I know that but he still has two years left," Sanji argued.

Chopper shook his head, "No Sanji. He has less than a month left."

NO. It couldn't be. He'd promised. Zoro had promised he wouldn't go until Sanji was ready. Sanji was nowhere near ready not that he thought he would be anytime soon.

Sanji sat on the end of Zoro's bed, his hands balled either side of him. Zoro opened his eyes blinking as he adjusted to the intense overhead light. He slowly sat up.

"You liar," Sanji said through gritted teeth.

He could feel the tears beginning to drip down his face.

"Sanji?!" Zoro began reaching out towards the cook.

However, Sanji quickly stood up moving out of reach.

"Less than a month, Zoro. But you didn't tell me, instead you thought it better to lie to my face!"

Zoro bowed his head.

"Gomen ne."

"Come on Kaya!" Sanji shouted as he ran behind my wheelchair, pushing it down the hill.

"Wait up!" Kaya called stopping to catch her breath.

Usopp caught up to her and rested his hand on her back.

"Sanji's really gonna miss him," Usopp said as straightened up.

"We're all really going to miss him," she answered running after them.

Sanji stopped at the bottom of the hill and put the breaks on the wheelchair before turning around to check where the others were. He could see Kaya and Usopp nearing them with the rest walking behind.

When Kaya arrived, out of breath yet again, she lay down the picnic blanket on the grass and helped Sanji take me out of my wheelchair and seat me on the blanket.

Sanji sat down next to me and leaned over to kiss me quickly on my lips. I smiled as the cook pulled away and turned to Usopp who had the picnic basket.

"What have you got for us cook?" I asked as Usopp placed the basket in front of us on the blanket.

I reached over to open it to see inside but Sanji slapped my wrist.

"Be patient, we have to wait for the others," he said smirking.

I could tell that he put his heart into this meal. He had been doing that lately; putting his heart into every meal because he didn't know which would be my last. Our whole group had also missed a great many days of school over the last two weeks to do things together.

~Sanji's POV

We got back to the Thousand Sunny house by dark and by then Zoro was too tired to do anything but cuddle up with me and sleep. Tonight we would be sleeping in the medical room as we had been for the last couple of weeks since his condition significantly deteriorated. I helped him into the bed before curling up next to him. My slender arms wrapped around his body pulling him close to me.

"Forget about the past, there's more to life," he whispered his head on my chest.

I could feel his heat, his breathing and then nothing.

DUN DUN DUN! Hey guys very dramatic.. Ehh!? *Nudge nudge* *Wink wink* but hold the phone (I don't even know if anyone uses that anymore... I'm so old fashion) this isn't it. My last Chapter will be posted tomorrow morning most likely around six am. I just want to thank all of you for sticking by me throughout this intense fanfic.
