Nothing can take the pain away

Chapter 2

"Hey, had anyone seen Zoro today?" Luffy asked as he looked back and forth.

"That bum is just probably just taking another nap somewhere as usual." Sanji said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah, but he usually comes to breakfast or at least lunch." Chopper added. "I'm starting to feel a little worried."

Nami stood up from her chair. "Well at least you found Ussop in Luffy and Zoro's room." Nami said as she looked over to Ussop who had a crossed band aid on his rear and tears filled in his eyes.

"Yeah and I thought I heard something in the hall way when I walked in, but I looked around the corner and no on was there." Chopper said as he walked over closer to Nami.

Sanji took out his lolly "He's a big boy he can handle himself." Sanji placed the lolly back in his mouth.

"Or natured just called." Luffy added making everyone's sweat drop.

Zoro stomach roared at him begging for food. "Ugh, I'm starving. But there's no way I can go out in front of the crew like this." Zoro said to himself. He felt embarrassed from his tear-stained face. His stomach growled at him again (im actually hungry thus gave me the idea for this partX3). "No, I can't go out there, at least not today. What if I start crying again out of no where? I'll never here the end of it." But he knew he had to do something to get something to eat. He turned the water faucet on and started washing his face. He took a wash cloth, wetted it and scrubbed his cheeks. After 5 minutes he stopped and looked at himself. It was better. But u could still tell that he cried. His eyes where also slightly red. He filled up the sink with water and dunked his face in it. He put his face it and it looked surprisingly a lot better. You could barely tell of his little "crying" session. If you just glanced at him you couldn't tell at all. You could only tell if you studied his face. Thus, he finally walked out of the bathroom. He started to feel a little better about what today was. He walked out on this deck of the Merry Go hoping to make a quiet entrance and not be seen. But, the entire straw hat crew was on the deck. He felt his cheeks burn ever so slightly.

"Zoro!!" Luffy yelled. "Your back! Where were you?" Luffy asked with a grin. They all looked at him, but he didn't know what to say.

"Well where were you idiot? We could've been attacked without warning while you were doing whatever." Nami protested as she put her hands on her hips. "You've been missing all day which is unlike you since u always come for at least lunch." Nami asked.

"Well, I was uh doing my own business." Zoro said as he started too turned to the direction of the kitchen.

"I told u!! Natured called its daily duties." Luffy said with a 'I told u so' remark.

"I didn't mean that!" Zoro barked.

"Oh, then what were you doing? Taking another snooze?" Luffy asked.

"Uh, yeah." Zoro said as he started to walk in the direction of the kitchen. They could hear his stomach growl. "I just came out for a snack." Zoro commented as he walked into the kitchen.

"Hmm." Nami thought to herself. "Something's up."

Zoro opened the fridge, pulled out a coke and a slab of ribs. He yanked at them until they were all gone. He drank his coke and crushed the can in his hand. But then suddenly, it reminded him of Kuina. How her life was crushed. He was scared now that he would start to cry. He placed his plate in the sink and threw away the coke can staring at it. He started to slowly walk out of the kitchen. He could hear the crew jabbering on about something outside. He peeked out and saw Luffy walking on his hands.

"Like that's anything entertaining. I don't see how I could ever be happy on this day." He said to himself. He quickly walked out of the kitchen afraid that he was on the verge of crying. He thought he was over Kuina when he left the dojo to go on his journey to become the best. But she still boggles his mind on this day. Nami notice Zoro walking out of the kitchen with a determined and sorrowful look on his face.

"He has something on his mind." She thought. "Hey Sanji." She said in an innocent and cute voice. "Do you think you could make sure no one goes into the hallways of the Merry Go while I go do something?" She asked.

"Of course Nami-swan! No one will go into there I swear!" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes. Nami walked in where she saw Zoro go in. She quietly sneaked in the hall ways. She noticed Zoro in the corner he was in earlier. She coulden't see all of him, but she knew it was him. She snuck down the hall. She heard a tear drip to the floor. She was shocked. She walked up to Zoro.

"Zoro?" She asked plainly. His palms covered his face. He put his head up a little and blushed which Nami noticed even though his head was still slightly down.

"Go away." He said in a slightly wobbely voice.

"Have you been crying?!" Nami asked as she got a better view of his face. Zoro shot his head straight down.

"Why did that arrogant women have to come over here now, today?!" he yelled in his mind. Nami bent down and held her knees.

"Go and leave me alone!!" He growled at her. Nami humphed and walked away. Zoro felt so embarrassed. "That witch better not say a word." He said to himself.
