But now on with the chapter ;)


The moment Sanji saw Sara falling his heart stopped beating and his mind went blank. Out of reflex he took a big step forward and caught her before her head met with the cold, hard and dirty floor.

"Sara, hey Sara, what's wrong?"

He shook her carefully and while his right arm held her tightly he used his left hand to caress her cheek, hoping she would wake up again.

She moaned slightly and a frown showed up on her face as if she had a nightmare.

~Flashback~

It was a sunny day and a small green haired girl was playing on a green field full of flowers.

That is, until her eyes fell upon the figure of a woman watching her. Her eyes lit up and a grin spread on her face while she ran towards the woman.

"Mommy!"

Her mother spread her arms and knelt down to hug her beloved daughter, grinning just as happily as the little girl.

"Hey little angel. We should go back home. After all today's your birthday. A cake and a present are waiting for you."

The smile on the girl's face grew even wider.

"A cake and a present! YAY!"

All the way back to the house the child sang a self created song with only two words as lyrics. "Cake" and "Present". Her mother walked beside her and laughed at the song while she looked at her daughter with a loving gaze.

When they arrived at home the girl began to ran towards the living room and let out a squeal when she saw the carefully wrapped gift. It was red with a big, white ribbon around it.

She didn't care about the wrapping and just tried to unwrap her gift as fast as possible.

When she actually succeeded she squealed with delight upon seeing a beautiful porcelain doll with a red frilly dress and a black umbrella in her hand.

"Mommy! It's beautiful. It's the doll I always wanted. You really bought it. Thank you so much."

She stood up and ran towards her mother to hug her.

"I know that you always wanted this doll. Only the best for my little angel."

She caressed her daughter's hair lovingly and gave her a peck on the forehead.

"I love you mommy."

"I love you, too, my little angel. After all you were the greatest gift for me!"

~Another Flashback~

A small boy was fighting with two swords against a girl that was a bit older than him but only used one sword. But even though he had two swords, the boy was completely helpless against the girl and only three attacks later the girl had managed to throw the swords out of his hands.

She had a triumphant expression on her face while the boy looked angry.

"Well Zoro, I win again."

"Tche, just wait and see Kuina. One day I will be able to beat you."

"In your dreams."

While Kuina smiled happily Zoro still scowled at her because he felt as if she didn't take him seriously.

~End of Flashbacks~

Sara slowly opened her eyes and while blinking the dizziness away she noticed that she was back in the hotel room.

Sanji immediately saw that she had woken up and grabbed her hand to show her that he's here. He only whispered because he didn't want to startle her.

"Hey Sara. Are you alright?"

She slowly turned her head towards Sanji.

"Yeah, I'm alright. How long have I been out cold?"

"You've been out for an hour. If you hadn't woken up I would have left to fetch Chopper. I'm glad you`re awake again. What happened in the shop?"

"I don't really know. It's just that this doll seemed so familiar to me."

A look of wonder made his way onto Sanji's face.

"Really? Did you get back some of your memories?"

She thought about it for a while and remembered the two flashbacks she had while she was unconscious. But she couldn't understand what they meant and therefore denied Sanji's question. It wouldn't do any good if he got worried because of those memories. He looked at her with a mix of disappointment and relief.

"Is that so."

He wasn't sure what he should feel. On one hand he wanted her to regain her memories because she deserved it, but on the other hand he didn't want her to regain the memories because he was scared that she would leave when she remembered everything about her. He didn't want her to leave. He wanted to be with her even longer. He wanted her for himself. He didn't want to know if she had a family waiting for her. He …

He was selfish. And he hated himself for it.

"Is everything alright Sanji?"

He was brought back to reality and immediately changed his frowning face into a smiling one.

"Of course! What about you? Feeling dizzy or anything?"

"No, I'm alright again. Thank you for taking care of me and sorry for making you worry."

She shifted her hand so Sanji's hand was inside hers and held it tighter to reassure him.

"It's alright."

His heart skipped a beat again when he looked at her. An idea came to his mind.

"Hey, what would you think about a picnic? We could buy something to eat in town and then we'll search for a quiet and nice place outside of town to eat."

She looked at him happily.

"That would be really nice. I would like that."

"Alright, then let's go."

He pulled on her hand to help her out of bed and the both of them made their way to the market still holding hands which made Sanji happier than he has ever been in his life.

He decided to buy some bread, some cheese, some red wine and for dessert he bought some delicious looking strawberries.

Afterwards they made their way outside of town and towards the field where Sanji found Sara unconscious. He remembered how beautiful it had been with all those flowers and butterflies.

Sara unfolded the blanket she had took from the hotel room with them and laid it down on the grass so they could sit down on it.

Sanji took the bread and used a sharp knife to cut some slices and handed one to Sara before slicing the cheese too. He opened the wine and poured some into two glasses, he also handed one of those to Sara and she took everything with a small thanks.

They smiled at each other clinked glasses and took a small sip from their drinks before eating in silence.

Sara felt content and looked up at Sanji and when she saw how his golden locks were captured by the sun and glittered almost heavenly she felt her heartbeat speed up a bit.

She knew that she liked him because of everything he did for her. He took care of her when she was unconscious, his cooking was top notch and speaking to him never got boring. The longer the time was that she spent with him the less she cared about regaining her memories.

She only noticed that she was staring when Sanji stopped eating and looked at her in confusion.

"Is something on my face?"

Sara blushed and averted her eyes from him.

"No, that's not it. I was just lost in thought."

"I see."

Seeing her blush made his heart flutter and his head couldn't form a complete sentence. Which led to a beet red face on his part.

"This afternoon … You and me … I mean … It was nice wasn't it? … I like you ... err … I mean … I liked the time with you."

She smiled at him and her face went even redder.

"Yeah, me too."

She took his hand in hers and tightened her grip on it. Upon feeling the pressure he lifted his head and looked in her eyes intently while she looked right back at him.

When he saw affection in her eyes he couldn't hold back anymore and slowly moved his head towards her. Sara noticed this motion and also brought her head closer to his head.

They closed their eyes and conquered the rest of the distance. Their lips met and Sara let out a content sigh because she felt as if it was a dream coming true. Sanji moved his hands towards her head and while his left hand came to a rest on her cheek his right hand caressed her hair and held her in the crook of her neck. Their lips moved for what seemed like an eternity for them.

But never the less they had to separate at one point and they looked at each other as if under a spell.

Sanji was the first one to find his voice again.

"Sara. I think I really really like you."

She chuckled a bit and moved forward to let her head rest on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I think I also really really like you."

He smiled and hugged her tightly, feeling that today was the best day of his life.

"As much as I hate to say it but I think we should eat the strawberries and head back to the ship afterwards. I think Chopper should look at you again because you fainted."

"Yeah you're right."

She sighed regretfully but let go of him either way. Sanji smiled at her and gave her a peck on the nose. Sara chuckled at that and bit into one of the strawberries. A flicker of delight went through her eyes.

"They're delicious."

"Yeah, they are."

Sanji smiled at her and the rest of their dessert was eaten quietly. They both didn't feel any need to disturb the peaceful silence that had fell upon them.

After they finished they cleaned up everything and folded the blanket up.

They walked back to the ship with their hands intertwined and stealing glances at each other.

When Sanji opened the door to the galley he felt that nothing could spoil his good mood.

Oh he couldn't have been anymore wrong.

His smile was wiped off his face when he saw his Nakama.

Everything was dead silent and their faces looked as if someone had died recently. And on the table in the middle of the galley he could see three swords.

Zoro's swords.


See ya :D And please don't mind my mistakes. I hate them myself xD
