Sanji's Secret

chapter 2

After dinner Sanji got up to do the dishes.

"Sanji! What are you doing?!"

Sanji turned to the deer with a dish in hand. "Dishes?"

"Shitty cook your bandages got wet, let me do it." Zoro grabbed the plate from Sanji and started washing it.

Sanji stopped staring when Chopper grabbed him and started to redo his hand up.

"No water on this hand Sanji" Chopper said.

"But..."

Chopper gave him a look

"Fine" Sanji sighed "bed everyone."

Everyone muttered and looked at him.

"Now"

"Come on Sanji!" Luffy cried "Zoro's still up!"

"I'm doing dishes!" Zoro yelled

"Luffy..." Nami warned

"Fine" the group lumbered off to bed.

Sanji sighed and tried to ignore Zoro.

Zoro looked at him from time to time. Sanji was worrying him. The guy had bags under his eyes and looked close to crying. He'd pretty much stopped flirting with Nami or Robin or anybody for that matter. Zoro wondered what was bothering him that much.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't realize he was done.

"Oi Shitty cook!"

"What seaweed?" Sanji didn't turn around from where he was wiping the table. His voice was tried sounding.

"I'm done with the dishes."

"So go take a nap."

"Nap?" Zoro was sure he'd tell him to go to sleep

"Yeah your sleeping patterns different. As long as you get enough sleep..." Sanji stopped. "Just go sleep or something"

"Do you need help with anything else?"

Sanji shook his head.

"Okay" he walked out of the kitchen.

Sanji took a shuttered breath and followed him out the door then walked to the bushes on the roof. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one.

He took a shaking breath. "Finally"

He got down on his hands and knees and crawled into the bushes. There was a hole in the bush where sanji had hid a box with a lock.

The hole was big enough for him to sit and no one knew about it but him. He took his box out and unlocked it with the key around his wrist.

Inside a picture sat and a bear with green fur. A shade of green that matched the hair in the picture to a T.

Sanji took the bear out and huge it tight. "Rhoro. I cut my hand today because of that stupid, stupid...."

He stopped and gulped. "stupid..." he trailed off again and sat there hugging the bear.

After getting lost in thought he smiled down at the green animal. "next island we stop at... I got an idea"
