Hello again! I will try and update as much as I can and if you're confused about anything, do not worry everything will explained!

(I feel like I've may have rushed this chapter...)

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece. If I did Zosan will be canon.

"Finally" She whispered "I've finally found you, Sanji."

To say Sanji was surprised was an understatement. He was speechless, his mind whirling with a thousand questions, yet not one word made it past his lips. All he could do was stare at the crying woman. The moment the woman had said his name he remembered. I know this woman. Sanji thought shocked, she was that girl in my dream.

He made no move even when the woman pulled back and retrieved something from her bag, hand twisted into a fist, hiding whatever she had in her hand.

"Here, you need to swallow this." The woman told Sanji, opening her fist and showing a bright blue orb that seemed alive, pulsing softly with a blue glow and swirls encircling it. Sanji hesitated. Sure, he would do anything to please a female, but having a woman that was supposed to only exist in his dream-that-is-possibly-a-memory and looked identical to you except in gender, cry and suddenly telling him to swallow a strange orb, was not normal and he had experienced a lot of weird creepy things and this ranked pretty high in his 'weird' level and 'creepy' level.

"Please, this will all make sense later. All I can tell you right now is that if you don't swallow this orb now your life will come to an end very soon. Don't question anything yet, I'll give you all the answers after you swallow that orb." The woman pleaded, but even then he still wouldn't move.

"Three questions." Sanji said, his mouth finally functioning and listening to him again. "Answer three questions and depending on your answers I'll do as you say."

The woman replied after thinking for a moment. "Seems reasonable, you don't have a reason to trust me yet. Very well, ask away."

"How do you know me? I've never met you before and if I had I would have definitely remembered you." Considering you look like the perfect female version of me. Definitely would remember that.

The woman smiled sadly. "I've known you a long time ago, Sanji. You were important to me as I was important to you. Certain…events had happened, so I'm not surprised you don't remember me."

"Can you give me proof that you've known me for a long time?" Sanji decided to ask next, cringing mentally at how untrusting he was being, but being a wanted pirate taught you to be constantly on your toes.

"I know you don't remember the first nine years of your life" Was the answer, shocking Sanji. How? Sanji wondered. No one knows I don't remember the first nine years of my life except myself. I didn't even tell Luffy or Zeff this and yet, how does she know? ...but she does seem familiar, is that why?

Sanji finally relaxed, as he reached for the orb, surprising the woman, before he asked his last question. "What is your name, Miss?"

"My name is Sami." Was the last thing Sanji heard before all he could see was darkness.

"Where the hell did that stupid cook go?" Zoro grumbled as he walked around the town trying to find the cook.3 hours later with absolute no sign of the cook and town suddenly became a forest, Zoro finally came to a conclusion.

Tch, the shitty cook got himself lost again

As Zoro continued grumbling as he tried to make his way out of the forest he thought about the weird way at how the cook had frozen in his tracks and when Zoro was about to ask what's wrong (insulting him) the cook suddenly bolted like his ass was on fire or when like the time when they went to an island infested with huge ass bugs. Everyone have their fears, oh but it was hilarious watching the cook and the witch running all around the island screaming their heads off. But then again the screaming got annoying after a while so they left as soon as the log pose had reset much to everyone's relief.

Going back on track and moving out of his amusing thoughts, Zoro became serious. But, really what was wrong with the cook? He looked like he seen ghost or something…well maybe not a ghost, a ghost wouldn't shock him that badly…but still, what the hell did he see that made him react like that? Zoro thought, not realizing he had somehow made his way back to the ship until a voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, Swordsman-san I thought Cook-san was with you?"

"He was, but stupid cook got himself lost again" Zoro replied.

"Sure it wasn't you who lost Cook-san?"

"…No, he ran off by himself. But he was acting weird."

"Weird?" Robin frowned slightly. "How so?"

"He was acting fine when suddenly he seemed to freeze and then he bolted of somewhere."

Robin frowned even more. "How long have you've lost him?"

"…Around three hou- HEY" Zoro yelped, which he will later deny ever making such a noise, when an arm appeared on his shoulder and whapped him on the head.

"You've lost him for that long and you're this calm? Normally Cook-san would be back by know with the shopping and I've been at the ship for about an hour already with no sign of him at all and Brooke hasn't seen him either." Robin answered sharply, highly resembling a mother scolding her child for being careless…which in this is possibly the case, minus the fact it wasn't 'mother and son'.

Zoro scratched his head. "Then do want to go look for him?"

"If you mean 'Can you help me look for him so I don't get lost as well' then I will gladly come along"

"SHUT UP, WOMAN"

A soft giggle was his only reply, but he was genuinely worried about the cook. Having nearly the exact same thoughts, Robin remembered her morning conversation with the cook and became slightly worried. I hope he's alright. It would be terrible if we found him lying in an alley, chopped up in pieces, his head missing and with his blood everywhere.

As Robin and Zoro began searching for Sanji, they increasingly became more worried (the latter completely denying that he was worried for the stupid idiot) as they still found no sign of the cook anywhere. They've already gone back to the ship several times and the cook hasn't gone back yet, according to others. They've nearly covered the whole town and it was starting to get dark.

Goddamn it, Cook where the fuck are you? Zoro thought, never acknowledging that he may or may not be worried (he is) knowing that the cook can take of himself, no need to worry right? Or that was what he thought an hour ago. It was now fully night time and still no sign of the cook. Robin, who had been leading the search, finally went to her last resort.

"Swordsman-san, I believe you should lead us. Your terrible sense of direction might get us somewhere that seems impossible to find others except you."

"…are complimenting me or insulting me?" Zoro asked in a peeved voice.

"Both."

"…" Zoro felt a vein pop. I need to travel to the past to slap past me in the face. Why did I choose to be with this crew? Because Luffy would lead to him to his dream, because these people are what he considers as his second family, because he doesn't want to think what would happen if he had never met these people and many other reasons. Damnit.

Surprisingly,(not surprising, considering Robin came up with the idea) they did find a small pathway that they haven't noticed before.

"…"

"It actually worked. You, for once in your life had managed to get to the right place even with no sense of direction. Congratulations."

"SHUT UP WOMAN" Zoro yelled before rubbing his forehead in frustration. "You know what? Never mind let's just go."

"fufufu" Robin chuckled. "Swordsman-san? You're walking in the opposite direction."

"…I knew that."

They walked for another few minutes before walking into a small area. Zoro immediately reached for his swords and attacked just as Robin crossed her arms. They both saw the same thing, a robed figure with an unconscious Sanji. They weren't the only one who raised their guard, though, the robed figure also tensed and whipped out a dagger that blocked Zoro's sword. All three stared the other down with glares in silence. Robin decided to speak up.

"Who are you and what have you done with Cook-san?" She demanded. The robed figure relaxed slightly in confusion before tensing again, glancing warily at Zoro and Robin.

"Do you mean Sanji? He's absolutely fine. I would rather die than see any more harm come to him." the robed figure answered with a female voice. This caused both pirates to pause and stare at the robed figure now identified as a woman. "You're part of the Strawhat crew right? I've seen your wanted posters, Nico Robin and Roronoa Zoro."

"What is your objective?" Zoro demanded. The robed figure moved her attention slightly to Zoro but still kept an eye on Robin. Smart fighter, high guard, looks like she can handle fighting more than one opponent and seems to use close combat but she could always have more daggers hidden in her robe. Zoro assessed in his head.

"I did have an objective, but it has already has been done. Please put down your sword, if Sanji wakes up he would not be happy with how you're treating a lady…especially if this lady is his sister."

As she finished speaking she pulled back her hood. Zoro and Robin were as shocked as they saw the perfect female version of their cook. They slowly let down their guard as they stared at the young woman. Zoro, being the closest, stared intently. The same eyes, same hair styled to hide half her face, she even has the same dumb curly eyebrow. Even her body type seemed similar to the cook; tall, lean and fragile-looking, but if this woman was anything like the cook Zoro knew, than she would be the exact opposite of fragile. Zoro made the mistake of underestimating the cook's power when they first fought; earning a healthy blue and purple bruise that had hurt like a bitch for two weeks. Besides the woman had managed to block his sword, that is already an uneasy feat, considering that Zoro will not hold back whether his opponent is a man or woman.

Zoro sheathed his swords and Robin uncrossed her arms and when the cook look-alike made sure they both had their guard down she slowly lowered her dagger as well but still kept tense, putting a protective arm around Sanji.

"You should come back with us to the ship, I'm pretty sure you and the cook will have a lot of explaining to do." Zoro decided going over the options in his head. The woman nodded and Zoro picked of the cook piggy-back style as they started to make their way back to the ship.

"Wait, if Cook-san is fine, then why is he unconscious?" Robin asked, Zoro looking over as well and waited for an answer.

"His brain is currently working as fast as it can to process an overload of information and he needs all of his energy to do this; that is why he is unconscious." Both pirates frowned at the answer.

"How did his brain come to this state?" Robin asked.

"I gave him something that made him this way and before you kill me, let me tell you that it's good for him. I've spent my whole life searching for him just to give him this and I was also running with time on this. If I never found him any sooner than this then his life would have been cut short and he would have died."

"He could have died?" Robin repeated shocked. "What did Cook-san do to have his life cut short?"

"Sanji, being the stupid self-sacrificing idiot he is, gave up his life so he could save me and other people who were very important to both of us." The woman answered bitterly but with a faint fond undertone when she looked back down at Sanji.

"Did Sanji make deal with the devil himself or something? Ow! Hey! It was a legitimate question! Zoro asked, the last part of his sentence aimed at Robin who blossomed a hand and whapped his head again.

"No, he did not." The woman smiled amused at the antics of the two strange pirates in front of her before frowning slightly again. "He made a bet with his life and power. It worked which is why I needed to find him again so I could give it back to him."

"What exactly happened then?" Zoro asked, finally not being an idiot.

"I believe it would be best for me if I explained this in front of the whole crew, especially with your captain." The woman replied. "I will explain everything around Sanji and me."

"Do you mind telling us your name as well?" Robin asked.

"Oh how rude of me, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Sami." The girl replied, bowing politely at the two pirates.

Zoro and Robin finally fell silent and the group slowly made their way back to the ship due to some…detours made by a certain swordsman.

"…is your sense of direction really that bad?" Sami finally asked, after running into another dead end. "Really, marimo? Never in my life have I've ever met someone with a sense of direction as bad as yours."

"DON'T CALL ME MARIMO!" Zoro shouted with shark teeth.

"Why, does my baby brother already call you marimo?" Sami asked. Zoro didn't answer but a vein did pop on his forehead. "I see, you don't want me taking over the pet name my brother has for you, how cute. Ok then, how about the Grinch?" Sami smirked.

All Zoro did was make a sound that sounded more animal than human. "I can see the sibling resemblance." He growled out, glaring at the still smirking Sami. What's a 'Grinch'?

Robin giggled before looking over at Sami curiously. "Baby brother? Is Sanji younger than you?"

"Yes, but he always gets really annoyed with me whenever I call him that; saying that I'm not that much older than him." Sami laughed.

"How much older are you?"

"2 mins."

"Oh? You two are twins?"

"Sanji can get annoyed at a girl?"

"Yes, we are twins and yes he can get annoyed at a girl, he just doesn't show it as much and the only one, who he actually shows annoyance outwardly to, is to me." Sami answered both questions staring slightly at Zoro. "He's not a saint, he can still get annoyed at a girl but he has really good self-control. And also, I've yet to see a healthy sibling relationship never fight each other."

When Sami was introduced to the rest of the crew, it wasn't handled as calmly as Zoro and Robin hoped, but then again these are the Strawhats, none of them will take things calmly.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"Hello, it's very nice to meet you all! My name is Sami and I'm Sanji's twin sister!"

"WHAT!?"

"SANJI HAS A SISTER!?"

"WAH! SANJI'S UNCONSCIOUS! DOCTER! Oh wait that's me."

"MMMM, SUUUPER!"

"May I see your panties? Yohohohoho!"

"ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!"

Several screams and punches later, (with Zoro and Robin sweat dropping at the crew's antics and a very amused Sami) the crew finally settled down before asking in slightly calmer fashion.

"So care to explain what the hell is going on?" Nami demanded, her fist still slightly steaming from punching all the male crewmembers (except Sanji and Zoro), with the mentioned sitting behind her with several new bumps and bruises.

"First of all, what is wrong with Sanji?" Nami asked, looking over at her unconscious nakama. This immediately caught the rest of the crew's attention as they glanced at the cook with concerned and worried looks.

"I'll explain everything but I need absolutely every single one of you to pay attention, are there any more crewmembers?" Sami asked.

"No." Luffy replied, in one of his serious moods. "Everyone's here."

"I would also like to ask you all that if you have anymore questions, please wait until I have finished explaining." Sami looked at each of the crewmembers and when she gained nod of approval from all of them she smiled. "Then let's begin shall we?"

As I said before I am Sanji's twin sister, Sami. Sanji's brain is currently undergoing major processing of information overload so he needs to all of his energy to do this. Why his brain is like this is because he currently sorting through memories and knowledge of a previous life he had. You see, we're not normal human beings, we were what you would call demons; Sanji and I are nine-tailed fox demons.

We were originally children that were suffering from cancer and were already classified to die at a young age by the doctors and our parents were heartbroken. They were desperate for us to live and did everything they can to keep us living. When Sanji and I were both five, our parents received a letter that was about a top secret science project that was run by the government and that their children were chosen and there was a possible chance for us to live again with healthier bodies and new lives. Our parents were delighted and they gained hope again, but there was a catch. If we did live through the experiment, we would go through an extreme change and the massive amount of chemicals they would inject in us could lead us to losing our memories and would be equivalent to having to start life over again. We would be given new healthier bodies but with no memories of our parents and the government had said they weren't allowed to inform us of anything we don't remember, including that they were our parents. There was also the high possibility that were still wouldn't live but our parents chose to risk it and we were handed to the government for them to experiment on. All I remember was waking up in a white room with absolutely no idea what was going on. I had no memory of who I was and I remembered feeling terrified. The scientists and doctors explained everything to me that I have a new life and used to be diagnosed with cancer and that I have a twin brother. At the mention of this I immediately asked where he was but I was told that the chemicals weren't as compatible with him as it was with me and he was currently in a coma. There was a possible chance he wouldn't survive, I was told and they took me away. It was then I realised I was not given a normal human body but that of a demon when I looked in the mirror and noticed I had a tail and fox ears with yellow fox eyes.

Every day they would train me how to use my powers and every day I would always go to visit Sanji at least once. I was still given freedom and I gained a new family with the others that survived the experiment and the doctors and scientists. But even then I still was hoping and wishing that my brother would survive, even though I didn't have any memory of having him as a brother I still felt a connection every time I saw him. I've been told many times before that males were less likely to live than females were and that I shouldn't keep my hopes up, but I kept praying ad continued to visit him. When I was eight years old, Sanji had been in a coma for three years. It was frightened me sometimes, seeing all the different tubes and machines connected to him to keep him alive, only the constant beeping of his heart monitor had reassured me that he was actually alive and not dead.

It was only when I visited him again on our ninth birthday, did I see a slight flutter of his eyelids. I don't really remember a lot from that time, I remembered a lot of rushing and shouting as Sanji woke up and panicking. It was painful at first. Sanji, when he woke up was emotionless for a while, trusting no one but me, and even then he kept me at a distance. He wasn't use to suddenly be able to feel more than the bed on his back and a sudden onslaught of emotions. Not only that, he was still extremely weak. It had taken a few more weeks before he could be disconnected from a machine that would keep him healthy and even more before he could even eat solid food. He needed assistance when he had to walk long distances and wasn't allowed to overexert himself. He was angry at himself for being so weak and would push anyone trying to get close to him away. Too bad for him our new family isn't the type to give up. We tried constantly to talk to him, to get him to open up more. We taught him how to feel again, taught him what it was like to love and be loved, when we saw him smile for the first time at us the effect he had was surreal. He was immediately tackled into hugs and some were even crying tears of joy at the sight. Even when he treated us coldly, he still somehow managed to find a place in all of our hearts without him even trying.

We were given a new life; education, a bed to sleep, food and a loving, nutcase job of a family. We did what we wanted with our life and had our own goals and dreams. No one knows about their previous families, we only know basic things from the files they gave us with information on it and were given a single object that was our old life and a letter from our parents. Our parents gave us a music box and they wrote to us how much they loved us and were sorry they could no longer be a part of our lives. Whenever Sanji or I had nightmares we would just wind up the music box and listen to it and it would calm us down.

Something happened one day, and I will not further elaborate on that, which led to almost having our whole family killed. Sanji was the one that saved us but it was at price that he could not possibly pay back within his lifetime and would most likely stick with him forever. He made a bet, with his powers as a demon and to gain immense amount of power he would give away his life. As nine-tailed foxes, the more tails we have the more powerful we are, both of us could only handle up to 6 tails before it starts to cause potential harm to ourselves and anymore tails we gain would shorten our lives or cause permanent damage to our bodies. What happened was that Sanji, being the idiot he is, had tried to take on the power of 9 tails to save us and it worked. He shortened his life by half, he was back in a coma for 5 months and when he woke up he was only concerned that if everyone was alright. Not only that, he lost all of his powers as a demon and gave it all to me so I could live. He gave me his Fox Orb that kept us alive and safe from our previous cancer. He was going to die and he damn knew it too. He was in pain for weeks often screaming and crying in his sleep. The idiot didn't even regret it and even embraced the pain if it meant seeing his loved ones safe. He died in my arms. I don't remember crying so many tears in my life.

When demons die they reincarnate at the age when they became one and since I was five and Sanji was nine when we were born as demons, it would mean that we reincarnate at the age of five and nine. I was still born four years before Sanji so we're still the same age as we were in our past life (to his great annoyance I bet). However because of him giving his Fox Orb to me he would not remember his past life and his life would still be cut short and he would have no idea about it. If I had not given back his Fox Orb, one day he would start having fits and eventually die for an unknown reason.

The crew was shocked. Sami's story seemed so unlikely and far-fetched and she was prepared to be laughed at or asked if she was right in the head or at the very least asked how it was possible. However the crew didn't do any of these, they did something completely different to what she expected.

"Sanji-kun will be alright, right!?"

"Does he need to have a check-up!?"

"Are you sure he won't die!?"

"Cook-bro, has been though a lot of tough shit."

"Cool! Sanji has mystery powers!"

The one who made the last statement earned a new collection of bumps on his head.

Sami stared at the crew for a bit before throwing back her head and started laughing. You've got yourself a nice crew baby brother.

"You're a nice crew." Sami stated with a grin before becoming serious. "But if there is any harm that comes to my baby brother, I swear it will be on your heads and I will have them." Glaring at every one of the members, startling them when they saw her eyes suddenly turned yellow and fox-like. Her glare nearly gave Chopper and Usopp a heart attack and even Robin felt a chill crawl down her spine. Only Luffy had met Sami's glare full on and after staring at each other for a bit Luffy grinned.

"Yosh, I've decided!" Luffy said. "You're going to be one of our Nakama!"

"Eh?" Sami stared. She looked eat every other crew members to make sure they knew what their captain was stating and when all she got were encouraging grins, she turned towards Luffy with a smirk.

"Well, I need to keep an eye on all of you to make sure you're taking my threat seriously." Sami's smirk turned into a grin that could rival Luffy's.

"I'll join your crew, Monkey D. Luffy!"

Wah I feel like I messed up the chapter somehow .

Please R&R! (it would make me very happy)
