A Sacrifice
A/N: There's a good ending I promise. But before that. We need to shed a few tears.
Zoro smirked helping Sanji up he wrapped his coat around Sanji's shoulder's.
"How did you know?" Sanji asked.
"I had to keep an eye on you some how, come on. Let's get you home." Zoro said.
He wrapped an arm around Sanji and took him home.
"I thought I was never going to see you again." Sanji muttered.
Zoro chuckled, "This gave me an opportunity to let me see you one time before the war. First thing tomorrow we will go to the church and I will personally talk to them."
Sanji smiled nuzzling closer to him, they went home finding Usopp petting Sanji's cat.
"Usopp, what are you doing here?" Sanji asked.
He turned to them, "I had to tell you Spandam said if you couldn't find someone by tomorrow morning he was going to go and attack the island you went to yesterday."
Zoro's fists clenched, "He's going to attack the bar."
"Who's this Sanji?"
"It's Zoro, the demon from before." Sanji said.
Usopp fell to his knees and bowed before him, "Please don't hurt me oh great Asura."
Zoro chuckled softly as Sanji sighed and went to change. Zoro pulled Usopp onto his feet and patted his shoulder.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Zoro said, "Unless you hurt Sanji, or any of the demons."
Usopp shuddered to the red glint in Zoro's eye.
"So Asura-"
"Call me Zoro, Asura is my name in the underworld."
"Oh, well Zoro. What brings you here. Why have you been with Sanji this whole time?"
Zoro turned to the shut door, "I love him."
"You love Sanji?"
"I do, I didn't think I was going to see him again. But when I was watching him fight for us. I had to help. I noticed more demons back in the underworld, I came to help them. And see him again."
Zoro pulled out a sphere and tossed it into the air. It stuck up in the air spinning around until it turned into a head. It was a man with long brown hair braided back. A cigarillo sticking out of his lips and had one curved horn sticking out of his head. He had tribal marks around his dark red eyes.
"Asura, when shall I prepare the troops?" He asked.
"Before tomorrow morning, wait on the outskirts of the forest and don't move until you get my signal. Do you understand me Wiper?" Zoro asked.
Wiper sighed, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Stay on the outskirts of the forest until you give your signal. Just don't take too long."
"You have my word. But don't move until I say so."
The head disappeared as the ball dropped back into Zoro's hand. Usopp was amazed at this kind of magic.
"That's amazing, how did you do that?"
"Don't underestimate a demon's magic." Zoro said.
The door opened as Sanji was dressed in his button up shirt and some pants.
"I guess I have nothing to worry about. Sanji is in good hands." Usopp said.
He walked past Zoro and patted his shoulder, Usopp smiled before leaving the two. Sanji smiled sitting on the couch. Zoro sat with him holding him close, brushing his blonde hair out of his face. Sanji hummed on Zoro's shoulder. Before they fell asleep holding each other. As the sun rose the next morning, Sanji and Zoro walked into town. Hand and hand walking down the streets. People looked at them with curious looks and unbroken stares. Sanji and Zoro walked up to the church and opened the doors. Inside stood the six highest priests in the world, Smoker, Usopp, Tashigi, Hina, Spandam, and Sengoku.
"You said if I could find a demon, you would speak to them." Sanji said.
"All I see is an ordinary man beside you."
Zoro chuckled, as his tail and wings appeared on his back and all four horns grew out of his head.
"I am here to talk." Zoro said.
"That's impossible! I sent all demons back to the underworld! How are you still-"
Sengoku raised his hand having Spandam shut up.
"We are not dealing with no normal demon. But Asura himself."
"Asura? Sir you can't believe that this man is-"
Sengoku glared at him, Spandam gulped. He turned back to the winged man.
"Asura, you've come to talk but your men have been hidden on the outskirts of the town."
"In case this talk. Doesn't come out in anyone's favor. And war is our only answer to have all of us live in peace once more."
Sengoku held out his hand as Zoro was engulfed in flames before they died down and he was in his demon form.
"Come with me."
Zoro followed Sengoku down into a room. While the priests, and Sanji. Stood outside. It was too quiet. Smoker held his ear to the door listening. But. He pulled back looking at the door.
"It's quiet, no one is saying anything." He said.
Spandam grabbed Sanji by the collar and pinned him to the wall.
"If you wouldn't of said anything we would of won against the demons already and we wouldn't of been in this mess." Spandam growled.
"Let me go." Sanji spat.
Spandam pushed him against the wall, "It's your fault! Why do you care about them so much! Why do you want there kind living with us?!"
"Screw you."
Spandam pushed him again before putting this hands around his neck and strangling him. Usopp tried to push him off along with Smoker. Hina and Tashigi exchanged looks before looking back to the door.
"Answer me!" Spandam snarled.
Sanji's blue eyes met Spandam's teeth grit and clawing at his gloved hands.
"Because I love him." Sanji said through his teeth.
Spandam's eyes widened before dropping Sanji. He coughed holding onto his throat gasping for air. Spandam grabbed him by his hair and tossed him outside. Sanji pulled himself up only to be pushed down again.
"Spandam stop it!" Usopp cried.
"Shut up! He's to be punished for falling in love with a demon. If you know what's good for you, stand back or I'll punish you too!"
Usopp bit his lip, as Spandam pulled out his sword. He placed it to Sanji's neck. Sanji rolled his head looking over at Usopp.
"Thank you, for standing beside me." Sanji smiled.
Usopp sniffled as he slumped to the ground. Spandam raised the sword about to decapitate him. When a dark bullet knocked the blade out of his hand. Spandam turned to Zoro standing at the top of the steps. Sengoku stood beside him.
"What's the meaning of this?" Sengoku spoke.
"My lord, one of our own has betrayed us. And has fallen in love with the demon that resides next to you." Spandam spoke, "Release him from your spell you demon."
Zoro crossed his arms, "I have no power over his emotions or feelings, along with my own with the man that lies under your foot. Harm one more hair on his head. And I will make sure you regret it. Let him up."
Spandam let Sanji up, he got up brushing himself off. Zoro looked over at Sengoku.
"I believe we have come to an agreement." He said.
Sengoku nodded, "We will have the demons stay and live among us once more. And they don't have to wear the glint magic. In exchange for their protection and medicine."
Wiper grumbled crossing his arms, "Apparently they are going to let us live up here now."
"Wait."
Wiper turned to a witch stepping out, she held her gas ball looking inside.
"We must hurry. The king will need us." She spoke.
"What? What's going on?" Wiper asked.
Her blue eyes flicked up to him, "We are running out of time."
She ran down the hill holding her cloak close, Wiper and the troops moved out following behind her.
Zoro looked up to the army slowly approaching.
"I assure you, they won't hurt you." Zoro said, "My commander is, a hot head. And burns on a short fuse."
Zoro stepped down to Sanji who slowly approached him. Sanji met him at the bottom of the stairs as they embraced.
"This is going to have a happy ending after all." Sanji smiled.
Zoro chuckled and held his cheeks, "And we can be together again."
Sanji smiled hints of tears pricked the corner of his eyes.
"Sanji!" A woman called.
He turned only to be shot in his back, Sanji winced falling to his knees Zoro glared up at Spandam holding a light gun.
"Traitor!" Spandam called.
Zoro knelt down to Sanji, he held his side grunting at the pain. He pulled his hand back, his hand covered in blood. He looked up at Zoro.
"Shit, Chopper!" Zoro called.
Zoro tried to help Sanji up but he couldn't pick him up. The wound was just getting worse. Sanji lied on the cobble stone bleeding out.
"Z-Zoro. I." Sanji swallowed.
He reached out putting his hand on Zoro's cheek, Zoro placed his hand on Sanji's
"I'm sorry, thi-"
"Shut up. I'm glad I met you." Sanji winced, "I love you. I'm glad. I met you."
Sanji's eyes watered as a tear rolled down his cheek, Zoro clutched onto his hand when he went limp.
"Sanji!" Zoro cried, "Don't leave me!"
He scooped Sanji up and embraced him. The woman walked up to them and removed her hood. Her black hair fluttered in the wind as her blue eyes filled with tears. Chopper trotted up a moment later panting heavily.
"We- didn't make it." She said.
Zoro sniffled holding Sanji close, he looked up to Spandam still holding the gun.
"I want his head." Zoro growled.
