Hideaway

Little Miss

A/N: I kinda wanted to write some zosan. It's short but I have longer chapters to make up for it. So once this is done, I think the Sabosanji will be next. I'll have to check. But Enjoy!

"So. Now what?"

Sanji looked to his wedding ring on his hand. Holding his hand out to the sky with his fingers spread apart. His eyes kept to the golden commitment wrapped around his finger.

"Hell if I know." Zoro grunted.

Sanji frowned letting his arm fall to his stomach as he glanced up to Zoro. His eyes shut as his arms were folded behind his head. Sanji rested on his leg before he huffed turning away from him.

"Some dreamer you are."

"My goal is being the greatest swordsman, marrying you was just a moment that along the way."

"Oh, and what happens if we give up our dreams for each other? Settle in a small island, maybe have a kid or two."

Zoro cracked an eye open to him, "A kid? How would that happen?"

Sanji smirked, "We're pirates. We can steal them."

Zoro chuckled, "Whatever you want dear."

"There's an island!" Luffy chimed.

Then they heard him bounce off to the island. Sanji grumbled as they got up to meet their captain at the said island. Sanji went to the kitchen getting what they would need for food before heading back to the deck. Zoro stood crossing his arms. Sanji smiled taking his hand as they headed off the ship. They headed into town where it was pretty lively. Children darting across the street with toys and parents welcoming them in with warm hugs. Sanji sighed taking his attention from them and to the store. Zoro noticed Sanji was slightly off. He wasn't as cheery picking out groceries with him. Or picking up the ladies at the store. He seemed bummed out.

"What's eating you?" Zoro asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sanji retorted.

"You're acting weird."

"You're acting weird."

Zoro grunted.

Sanji placed an apple into a basket before picking up another. Zoro noticed a little long blonde haired girl. Her bangs covering over her eyes. She lifted them up as she glanced around and then smiled. She lowered them as she chased after a frog. Zoro watched as it hopped closer and closer to them. Until it hopped onto Zoro's sword.

She stopped lifting up her bangs and glanced up to them. Her eyes filled with panic as she swallowed thickly. Zoro scooped up the frog and held it in his hand.

"I-I'm sorry sir. My frog seemed-"

"Hey! Little Miss you stay away from these good people!"

Sanji perked up turning to the little girl. She clutched her hands together as Zoro knelt down holding out the frog.

"It's alright. Here's your frog."

She lifted her bangs and smiled softly. She took it with a smile and held him close.

"Thank you sir-"

"LITTLE MISS GET OFF MY PROPERTY!"

The girl backed off before she darted off to the town. Zoro and Sanji watched as everyone glared at her or said awful things to her.

"Who is that?" Sanji asked.

The clerk frowned crossing her arms, "We call her Little Miss. She's nothing but trouble. She's bad luck to the people here. If anyone associates with her they are cursed for life. Her parents couldn't handle her and left her here for dead."

Sanji frowned, "She has no one?"

"No one."

Sanji handed her the beri for his groceries. Zoro took half as they stood in the middle of the street. Zoro glanced to Sanji who clutched his bags before he headed the way that little girl ran off to.

At the end of the road. Zoro and Sanji noticed a house burned to the ground. Sanji frowned when he heard distant crying. There was a rustling in the bushes before the forest. Zoro placed a hand on Sanji's shoulders before he approached the bush. Unsheathing his sword. He swiped his sword across the bush before sheathing it. The leaves and branches cut away and fell. Revealing Little Miss.

She frowned lifting her bangs. Tears welling in her sea blue eyes that met Zoro's. He turned to Sanji who set down his bags and approached her. She turned to him as he clicked his tongue.

"Poor little lamb." He muttered.

From his breast pocket he pulled out a butterfly clip and pinned back her bangs. She blinked as she looked to Sanji. He smiled holding up his hands.

"We won't hurt you. My name is Sanji and this is my husband Zoro. It's nice to meet you Little Miss."

She frowned shaking her head, "That's not my name."

"Then what is it, might I ask?"

She looked to her dirty hands then back to Sanji.

"Loulee."

"How beautiful."

She smiled looking back to her hands.

"And a beautiful smile you have." Sanji chimed.

She began to fiddle with her skirt, while her cheeks lit up in a hue of pink. Zoro chuckled kneeling down to her level. He rummaged in his haramaki pulling out an apple. He rubbed it on his knee before handing it to her.

"Here. You must be hungry." Zoro offered.

She glanced to the apple before to Zoro. Loulee hesitated before taking the apple. They watched in amazement as she ate that apple with a blink of there eyes. She smiled tossing away the core.

"Why are you guys so nice to me?" She asked.

"Because we know what it's like to be alone." Sanji said.

"You do?"

"Being abandoned by your own flesh in blood is heartbreaking."

She nodded, "My frog left me too."

"Well kid." Zoro said sitting down, "We're gonna be here for a while."

Loulee smiled as Sanji sat beside him. She crawled into his lap while Sanji rested on Zoro's shoulder. He glanced to Sanji and kissed his temple.

It was only a week.

For Sanji to have fallen in love with such a girl. The only other person who could take his heart. Zoro had grown attached to her too. But he knew that this goodbye would be a little too hard for him.

"You think I could go with you guys?" Loulee asked.

She sat in Zoro's lap as Sanji was pulled into his side.

"I'm not sure." Sanji said.

She saw the pain in his eyes. As he smiled softly.

"Never know, we could kidnap you and hide you on the ship." Zoro chuckled.

Sanji lit up with an idea as he glanced to Zoro.
But as the night was just beginning. Loulee fell asleep under a tree. Sanji and Zoro were a bit farther away bickering.

"I can't just leave her here." Sanji said.

"I know this is hard for you. But. A kid on the open seas. With other pirates, or marines. What will happen to her? What if she gets hurt, or worse?"

"I'll take care of her-"

"This isn't your decision. This is between you and Luffy. And knowing him, he won't be back until the last possible second before we leave anyway. So she would have to stay here. Sanji. You have to let her go."

Sanji welled up with tears, Zoro sighed embracing him. Sanji broke sobbing onto his shoulder. Zoro hushed him as he glanced to the tree. Loulee was still asleep. Zoro sighed burying his head into Sanji's neck.
