The flower girl(zoroxreader)

Bloom

It's been five years since Kuina's passing. As always, I bring a bouquet of flowers to her grave, each one chosen to honor her memory. Over the years, I asked Koushirou if I could plant seeds around her resting place so that they would bloom year-round. He agreed, and today, Zoro and I are here to decide which flowers would be best.

After carefully choosing the flowers, I scatter the seeds, and soon, vibrant blooms emerge from the grass. The colors dance in the sunlight, creating a breathtaking scene.

Zoro looks at the garden and smiles. "Didn't expect anything less from you," he says, his voice filled with warmth.

I glance at him, a little unsure. "Did I overdo it?"

"No," he reassures me. "It's perfect. I'm sure Kuina thinks the same."

I smiled at his kind words. We enjoyed the scenery for a little while, then paid our respects and headed back to the dojo.

Zoro has become the top swordsman of the dojo. He can defeat everyone with a single blow, which is kind of unfortunate for him since there's no competition. So, over the years, I decided to learn how to fight with daggers to complement my close combat skills. Now, Zoro and I spar against each other every day. He usually wins, though I've managed to win a few times myself. He always brings up the "I use magic" excuse when he loses, though. He still can't accept a defeat easily, but he's managing better than in the past.

for myself, I have become a good magician. I have learned how to use a lot of spells like metal, air and ice. My main focus right now is my mana. I need to get as much as I can so that I don't feel exhausted too quickly. I now also grow my own fruits and veggies. I started helping farmers around the village with growing their plants and give my vegetables and fruits away to people in need. Thanks to that i grew a good bond with the villagers.

I still meditate at the waterfall since it feels like kuina is there with me, which makes me relax a lot. Zoro still comes with me but he still falls asleep.

''so what you gonna be up to today?'' he asked.

''I was thinking about meditating, but if you still got a fight in you I'm down to beat your ass.'' I said teasingly.

''in your dreams'' he said laughing.

we grabbed some water from the fountain and went to our private training ground, which is just an empty field away from people.

Out in the training area, I tied my hair up into a high ponytail, ready to go. My daggers sparkled in the sunlight as I gripped them tightly. Zoro stood across from me, his swords ready, one gripped in each hand and the third in his mouth.

"Wow, you're serious today," I chuckled, observing how much he had grown. He was now much taller and more muscular, very much a handsome man.

"You ready?" Zoro asked, with a playful smirk on his lips, showing he was up for some serious fun.

"Always," I replied, tossing my daggers into the air before catching them again. "But don't go easy on me."

With a sudden burst of speed, Zoro lunged forward, his blade slashing through the air with precision. I met his attack with my daggers, the clash sending me staggering backward. I leaped into the air, aiming a series of quick strikes from above. Zoro blocked each one effortlessly. As Zoro concentrated on defending against my daggers, I executed a mid-air flip and landed a kick to his side. which later turned out to be a bad idea. he caught my leg and with a powerful motion, slammed me onto the ground, pinning me beneath him.

"Nice try," he said, smirking down at me. It was then that I realized how close his face was to mine. A blush crept across my cheeks as I looked up at him. Zoro, noticing what was happening, turned bright red, his gaze locking with mine.
