The Roronoa's

AN: Hey sorry that i haven't been updating for the last couple of days, but i've been really busy with college and stuff. But i've brought out a chapter to make it up to you. Any i have had 2 requests, the first one was to make Robin's character younger; to be closer to Zoro's age. So i have decided to make Robin 3 years older than Zoro rather than 9. So now Robin was 22 when they met, and 36 for the rest of the story. The second request was to have them have their first real fight which i've decided what this chapter's going to be about. So enjoy and review.

Disclaimer: Seriously its in chapter 2.

Chapter 7: Let's Not Fight

He didn't like it. Those were the first words in Zoro's head. He was currently at a party that he was attending to congratulate his fiance' on building her business and opening her first exhibit. He was happy for her of course, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that she was getting cozy with this new guy on her team, someone named Ken something, he couldn't remember because he didn't care. But he does give a damn now because this guy was getting all flirty with his girl, and he really wanted to go over there and punch him.

The worst thing about it was Robin weren't doing anything about it, she hadn't even acknowledged him at all since they've got there. She kept getting whisked away by one of her colleagues or some random guest. Zoro didn't even get a chance to spend a single minute with his girl the entire night, and he was starting to get really pissed. But then the new guy came along and decided to spend most of his time with his girlfriend, and he couldn't even get her to talk to him let alone glance at him.

All she was doing was talking to her team of archaeologists and smiled and laughed with the new guy, while Zoro was standing right there. He wasn't jealous, he kept repeating in his head. But he knew he was, but just didn't want to admit it. He was starting to get annoyed from being ignored from 'HIS' fiance', he was also starting to have enough being there when there was no point, because she obviously wasn't going to speak to him for the rest of the night. He saw her laugh again at whatever Ken-guy said and sighed. He got up from his seat and walked to the exit. He looked back at Robin and shook his head, then left to go back home.

It took him a while to get back home, 40 minutes to be exact, with a few wrong turns he finally made it back to the house. He took off his jacket and went upstairs to change into his usual attire because he didn't like wearing suits like a certain blond haired idiot he knew of. After he did that he went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of sake and crashed on the couch. This is more like it. He did feel bad about leaving Robin's party, because it meant so much to her and she really wanted him to be there, but he felt uncomfortable to be there, so he left fearing that he would do something stupid and make Robin mad. She is scary when she get's angry, i should never disobey a request to clean the house again. No 'quality time' for two weeks. Cold.

After he drank the whole bottle of sake, he looked at the clock to see it was 10:55 pm and decided to take a nap. He was about to close his eyes, until he heard the front door open and slam shut. Oh no she's pissed. I wonder what happened. He opened his eyes to see Robin standing in the doorway, looking beautiful but with her arms crossed over her chest, hip slightly cocked to the side and a not so happy expression on her face.

Now Zoro may not look it, but he was really scared right now, on the inside though. "Hey, you're back early" really that's what he says after walking out on her own party.

She ignored him and asked the question of the night that he wasn't expecting just yet. "Why did you leave Zoro?"

He sighed and sat up, "Why do you care anyways?" cold but he was still angry.

Robin raised an eyebrow and said "What i'm not allowed to be concerned about my fiance', who conveniently walked out on a special occasion that meant so much to me."

Zoro slightly flinched at that, but before he could say anything Robin carried on speaking in a really calm voice, but he knew by looking into her eyes that she was really angry, "I needed your support the most Zoro, and when i found out by one of my colleagues that you just left without a single excuse, or telling me yourself, well that really pissed me off."

Zoro stood up and said in a cold, angry voice "Well i would have if i didn't notice how close you and the new guy were getting. That pissed me off so i left. So what, can you blame me?"

Robin was shocked to hear those words come from his mouth. She cleared her throat and asked "Zoro...were you jealous?"

"Me jealous, don't make me laugh. What got me mad was how you were getting all giggly with that Ken-guy and right in front of me." He was breathing hard now and he didn't realise that his voice got louder as he spoke.

Robin frowned "His name is Kenji, and i wasn't getting 'giggly' with him, i was being polite. Sure he made passes at me, but i brushed him off and explained that i was in long-term relationship with my fiance', he understood and agreed to be friends instead."

"I don't care what your excuses are, i'm really mad that you got all happy with that guy and had the nerve to ignore me the entire night. Even when you had spare time you went with that guy and chatted with your team." Zoro all but shouted.

"Well what about you huh? Do you remember that waitress in the cafe, you didn't brush her off when she was flirting with you in front of me did you?" Robin also shouted.

"Oh come on Robin that was 9 months ago, we're engaged to be married in 4 months, can't you let that go." Zoro rolled his eyes and turned away from her.

Robin wasn't happy with his reply and said "You're missing the point Zoro, i trusted you to be around other girls as long as you, oh what did you say to me…oh yes i remember, 'as long as you had eyes for me'. Do you remember that Zoro, because i sure do, i trusted you then why can't you trust me now?" Robin started to form tears in her eyes and she didn't like where this was going.

Zoro didn't notice that she was close to tears because he was built up with rage. "Trust you?, you want me to trust you?. Why should i trust you when you used people to get what you wanted when you were out there all alone, are you going to use me now huh? is that it? am i just a plaything to you?."

A resounded slap sound was heard throughout the room, as Robin's hand made contact with Zoro's cheek. That seemed to bring him back to his senses and remember what he just said to her. He glanced at her face and her hair covered her eyes so he couldn't see her properly, but he did see trails of tears falling down her cheeks, a big sign that she was crying. The worst part was that he made her cry, and he knew she was strong and would never cry like that in front of anyone, let alone him. He was about to apologize until she started to speak.

"You know i had no choice to betray all those men to get what i know i did it to survive. Of course i was alone, because no one wanted me or cared for me. I thought you would understand Zoro. I thought you were the one for me, the one i would spend the rest of my life with. Without worrying about being used. Obviously i was wrong." She turned to leave the room, but Zoro reached out to grab for her hand.

She yanked her hand free from his and shouted "Don't touch me! Your not allowed to come near our room for the rest of the night. You're sleeping on the couch. You messed up big time Zoro, i don't know if i can ever forgive you."

Zoro looked at her shocked, he managed to speak out "Robin i'm sorry, i didn't mean what i said. I was angry, please don't leave me."

"I don't know if i can promise anything." She quickly left the room and ran upstairs to their shared room. Robin was heartbroken that this was their first real fight and they left the whole argument unresolved. As she went to bed that night, she cried herself to sleep.

Zoro was pissed at himself now. He made the one woman he loved cry. She even slapped him because he stabbed a big hole in her heart, that was full of pain and bad memories. He wanted to apologize, but he knew this fight was the biggest out of all their previous one's. The other's were about trivial things, such as cleaning, training and ignoring the other for work. But normally they would cool off, apologize and have steamy make-up sex. But not this time. He fucked up big time this time. He made up his mind and called Luffy asking if he could crash at his place for a few days till he could sort everything out, and explained that he and Robin weren't talking because they had their first real fight. He even explained that they may have broken up.

Luffy agreed to let Zoro stay at his place until everything calmed down so he could speak to Robin the next time he saw her, but Zoro explained that there may not even be a next time. After he hung up, he wrote a quick note to Robin, grabbed his coat and left. As he was walking down the path, he took one last look at the house, probably for the very last time and headed straight for Luffy's house.

The next morning Robin awoke feeling like crap. She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror and saw her eyes were puffy, and red. She cried a lot. She decided to take a shower to wash away the grime from the yesterdays feud. As she dried herself, she thought about Zoro and what she was going to do. She didn't want to break up with him, she loved him too much to do that. She also wanted to apologize for making him feel jealous for ignoring him, but she also wanted to forgive him. He was obviously angry and didn't know what he was saying. Maybe if she talked to him, they would solve everything out and make up.

As she changed into casual clothes, such as purple shirt, slim jeans and heeled purple boots that came above the knees, she walked down stairs to face Zoro. But something was unusual, he wasn't there at all. She looked in the living room and saw a note on the table. She picked it up and saw the familiar messy handwriting that could only belong to Zoro and read the note.

Hey Robin if you're reading this then it means that i'm not there. Obviously. I've decided to stay at Luffy's because, that was our first real fight as you've probably noticed and our biggest at that. I want to apologize about everything i said yesterday, i wanted you to know that i didn't mean it, it was just that i was so angry that i didn't even realize what was happening. I'm sorry if i'm not saying this face to face right now, it's just i don't think you want to see me right now or ever again and i understand. I will leave you alone, and you won't have to see me my face at all. I'm not asking you to get back together with me or to love me again, i just want you to forgive me. Because i screwed up, and you don't have to see me anymore, i will leave and you can find someone better to take care of you. Because i don't want to see you cry anymore, you deserve better. Sorry, and i want you to know i will always love you. Zoro.

Robin was shocked, and crying again after reading his message. She didn't want this to happen. She loved him and wanted him to know that she didn't want to let him go. Mind made up she walked to the front door grabbing her coat and car keys along the way and left the house, driving towards Luffy's place. When she got there, she breathed a sigh to calm herself down, because she was nervous facing him again. She exited her car and walked up to the front door. She knocked and waited for two minutes till it answered. To her surprise it wasn't Luffy who answered, but Zoro himself. He looked like crap, his eyes were bloodshot, like he hasn't slept a wink at all.

Zoro and Robin stared at each other for a while, until Zoro snapped out his trance and managed a "Hey", Robin also snapped out of her trance and said "Hi" back.

Zoro moved to the side and let her in, Robin thanked him and walked into the house and straight to the living room. Zoro followed and they both sat on the couch, but at opposite ends, afraid to be near each other after a horrible fight like the one they had not too long ago. Robin cleared her throat and began "Zoro we need to talk."

Zoro breathed a deep sigh and replied "Yeah i knew you were going to say that. Look i know that everything i said hurt you last night, and i didn't mean a word it was just that i was so angry that i didn't even realise what was going on. I don't expect you to stay with me after i betrayed your trust, and i understand, honestly i do. I just want you to forgive me and move on and walk away from this encounter."

Robin allowed him to speak first and listened to every word he had to say, but she knew he was going to say something like that because she read his note he had left for her.

She began to say what was on her mind "Zoro i forgive you, but i don't want to break up. We belong to each other and i love you. I am also sorry for provoking you yesterday, i shouldn't have ignored and i'm sorry. Please let's just make up so we can go home and have 'quality time', because i really miss you."

Her confession surprised Zoro, because he expected her to break up with him, but it was the complete opposite. He was ecstatic and glad that they were staying together and that she still loved him after the craziness yesterday. "God woman i love you."

"I love you too" they moved across the couch and embraced each other. They looked into each other's eyes and pulled each other into a deep kiss, they put everything they had into that one the love and emotion they have for each other into one passionate kiss.

After they made up with each other, they told Luffy they forgave the other and left to go home to start anew. They felt refreshed. But the one thing they do now is that they don't want to fight ever again.

Sorry if the ending was rushed but i am tired, i've been tired for days now cuz i've come down with a cold. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review, request's are also accepted. This is Wolf signing off :)
