by the way, I choose the Fennec fox species for Sanji. the first time I sew it in Wiki, I know it have to be Sanji species and I"m so in love with this species. they so Beautiful!

Our story begins with two young and cute animals.

One is a young fox with spiral eyebrows, yellow lines mark his body, his tail has a circle shape, and one little bang hides one of his eyes. His visible eye was blue, and he always looked for company or female cats to court after. If a male cat or dog dared to show up, he would growl and hiss at them. In some cases he fought to banish them away. He really hates them, stupid assholes that come to steal his food or his females.

Not that he has any luck with female courting, but at lust he tries his best.

His name was Sanji, and he was a smart one.

The other one is a young green cat. His eyes were black with a constant frown that intimidated any stray cats or dogs. He had three identical gold earrings on his left ear that played when wind blew. His only problem was that he never knew where he was and that he was constantly hungry.

Most of his life he spent sleeping, searching for food or practicing his attacks with his sharp nails so no one could stand up against him. He wasn't interested in anyone in particular, but he wanted to be the most powerful cat in all the stray cats.

His name was Zoro, and he liked to fight.

Once these two met, they glared and growled at each other. Sanji hissed at him, trying to show that this was his territory and that the other should back off. But Zoro didn't, and he didn't seem too impressed by him, actually he ignored his growls and sat down in the corner, trying to catch some sleep.

Sanji got even more irritated, and folded all of his body in a threatening way. But it didn't seem to work on the green cat, so Sanji come at him

"Oi you, stop ignoring me! This is my place, go away!"

Zoro looked up at him and sneered.

"Like I care who owns the place, I'm going to sleep now so shut up! Your voice is annoying."

"The hell, you shitty cat?! Go sleep somewhere else!" Sanji's anger was boiling, how dares this green shitty cat talk back to him. It was his territory! Like hell he's going to let this pass in silence.

He jumped at the green cat, Zoro didn't give in and attacked him back with all his strength.

Their fight kept on into the night, but not one of them won this or lost. Sanji was fast and smart attacking strongly, but Zoro could stand up with his strong legs and nails, making Sanji yelp with anger after the scratch he left on him.

Neither of them backed off, but their strength was equal. Both of them ended up panting on the floor, too tired to fight any more.

"You're good, spiral fox. I'm impressed."

"Shut up, who are you calling spiral fox?! You grass-colored shitty cat! I'm haven't given up on this territory!"

"Are you an idiot? I didn't come here to take your territory. I only wanted to sleep."

Sanji looked at him with shocked eyes, it was the first time other animal didn't try to throw him out or claim his territory, or steal his food. And to say the truth, it was a little strange for him.

"Really? It's a good place you know." Sanji asked still shocked, since all he knew is to fight and how to be careful most of the time. Zoro didn't seem to mind. He only nodded and lied down to sleep again in his lazy way.

"Like I said, I don't need your stupid territory. I only need a good sleep and some food." With that, he started to purr, enjoying his good sleep after a fight. Sanji raised his eyebrow and an ear.

"Oi..! Oi grass cat, don't sleep! You idiot!" He bites his ear and gives up. 'Let the grassy cat sleep if he want to, for now!' As long that he wasn't a threat to him, it was okay to let him stay for a while.

But the grass cat stayed for longer than Sanji could have imagined, even though he tried several times to make him leave his territory without success, the cat was one stubborn being. And for his surprise he didn't mind the grass cat staying. They did fight a lot, but it seemed it was mostly from playful manner. And Zoro always took his attention away, especially from female courting.

"Idiot fox."

"What did you just say grass cat?!"

"I said you are a moron fox for going after females cats. What wrong? You can't find females foxes like yourself anymore?"

"Shut up grassy cat! I don't have a lot of choice's here! And I don't see you even trying to find one female! Don't tell me that the humans cut it off for you, so you can't even do it?" Sanji mocked him with an evil smile.

"I'll let you know, spiral pervert fox that no one cut anything for me! So I could do it with anyone if I wanted to." With that Zoro showed Sanji all of his his package with all its glory. 'Then what the hell was this cat problem?!' Sanji didn't know why, but he felt in heat, wasn't Zoro a male cat? What the hell was wrong with him? He wasn't sure.

"Then what the hell…" But before Sanji could continue, he smelled it. That smell was not his or the grass cat's. It was of a dog, he looked away from Zoro at the big dog that came at them, barking.

Threatening them to leave, because this place belonged to him now, Sanji growled at him to fuck off, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the stray dog. So they fought, the dog was bigger than him, even though he was faster, the dog managed to pin him down with a bite on his neck from up his head. His teeth were big and sharp, and it hurt Sanji so bad that he could only try to growl at him. He could feel blood coming out and hissed.

With his last strength, Sanji bit his attacker's left leg, trying his best to remove the dog from his neck in vain. It didn't matter what he did, the dog keep him pined to the floor and bit his neck even harder. He put his legs on the other's back trying to crash him. Sanji howled in pain and saw his end - he won't survive this fight. But then, right in front of his eyes, the grass cat that growled up until now jumped at the dog. Scratching him hard on his back without mercy and biting his neck and ear blood spilled everywhere. Sanji wasn't sure what going on any more.

"Go away! It's our place!" Zoro growled and jumped from the dog's back, biting the dog foot like a tiger. Holding his foot, he scratched it deep and made him leave Sanji's neck and turned the dog's attention at him, growling like he was big and tough. What Zoro knew for sure, was that this dog wasn't as tough as he looked. Zoro had fought with much bigger and stronger dogs before. But the dog managed to injure Sanji, for that he wasn't going to let this dog go without getting some revenge first.

"Annoying cat, how dare you interfere in my fight?!"

The dog jumped at Zoro, and Zoro jumped at his neck, scratching his face and biting his lower neck with all his might. Making the dog growl in a hostile way at him. But it seemed he start to back off a little, barking helplessly. After more scratching, Zoro left his neck and sent him an intimidating frown, the dog ran from the place, barking at them a little before he disappeared.

Sanji stayed on the floor, he couldn't believe the cat actually helped him to banish the dog. Of course, only because Sanji hurt the dog first. But still, the grass cat did help him a little this time. And he wasn't sure why, but it touched his heart. No one helped him before like this. But his neck still hurt, and he felt dizzy. Maybe it was too late for him. He closed his eyes.

But then, the sad fox felt the cat bite gently at his ear, waking him. So he opened his eye a little.

"What… Grass cat?"

"Don't sleep, stay awake."

"Why should I stay awake?! I'm tired."

"Stay awake, I'm bored. Entertain me, spiral fox."

"What the… you selfish grass cat! Go somewhere else if you want entertainment. Can't you see I'm a little busy here?! I'm hurt, so leave me the fuck alone or shut up!" Sanji hissed with anger, but his spite was gone. He was too tired to care about the green cat. But his manner of speaking still pissed him of. Who did he think he was?! Can't he see it's over for him, that he's in too much in pain to care anymore if he die's here, all alone.

The cat just look at him with silence, the fox wasn't sure what his eyes meant. But he could feel and smell Zoro getting closer to his neck.

"W… What are you doing?!" The fox started to shake, but the cat looked calm. Too calm for his taste, it startled the poor injured fox.

"I know… I know that you hurt, spiral fox." He growled softly from his neck. Calm and slow, he started to lick his wounds in silence. The fox whined a little and while wanting to run from the cat. He didn't know if he should shove him away or just let him do what he wants. He knew already, even if the cat licked his wounds, he may not make it. So he wondered why the stupid grass cat was doing this? Without any answer, he let the cat lick him. It felt more and more nice and warm for Sanji and he just gave in to Zoro, drifting into a deep sleep.

When Zoro finished licking his wounds, he sat down next to Sanji. Resting his head on the fox's warm fur on a patch in the middle of the other's back. They slept together peacefully, warming each other from the cold lonely night in the city.

The morning comes, and with that the people start to fill in the streets. Zoro was still asleep when his ears rise up to the sound of a weird noise. One was a heavy step of shoes, while the other was a heavy step of wood hitting the ground. The uneasy steps got closer and closer to them, so Zoro hurried to stand in front of the sleeping fox. He growled possessively at the new human presence, he wouldn't let him touch the fox. He was injured enough. And from his experience, humans were bad and only brought harm to any animal they saw, especially a wounded one.

When the human was close enough to them, he only sneered at the growling cat. Playing with his long moustache, he scoffed at Zoro with his hands holding a deep plate.

"Well well, what do we have here. It seems you found yourself a friend, shitty fox." He came closer again, Zoro standing in front frond in guarding stand, growling more and more at him.

"Shut it shitty cat, move it or I'll kick you out."

But Zoro didn't give in to him, he wouldn't. He only frowned at him, this human was different from the others, he didn't seem to threaten him. But with humans, you can never know what they're up too. But then he felt Sanji standing up next to him.

"Relax grass cat, this human is not our enemy." He said with calm voice, making Zoro send him suspicious look and a growl.

"And how do you know?!"

"Well, because he saved me from starving and feeds me. Sometimes he does scream at me, through."

"And how are you so sure that he won't try anything bad?! Maybe he's just trying to buy your trust and later hurt you." Zoro growled with suspicion, making Sanji growl back at him.

"Stop thinking everyone comes to hurt you, you idiot cat! And just for your knowledge, he won't feed me if I go somewhere else, and he won't come after me. He just feeds me when he wants to, and goes away. That's how it always was!"

Zoro snorted at him.

"So that's why you so territorial of this place, just so you can get some food from a human, pathetic!" His aggression grew by the minute.

"Shut up! It's not that bad! It's more for safety option to have food then to fight with other animals or to steal from humans. But it doesn't mean I don't steal from them when I feel like it. It's more pathetic to starve to death and refuse food just because it's from human." Sanji snarls back at him and crawls to the human that stands there.

Zoro just watches him with anger and disgust, but doesn't answer him. If the stupid fox wanted to risk his life, then it was his choice.

"What's this, you crazy shitty fox? You're injured again?! I won't take care of you forever, you hear me shitty fox?! This is the last time." The human scolded the fox, but picked him up in his arms. The cat watched him being taken away from the floor in shock, where is he taken him?! The suspicion was rose in Zoro. Even after what the idiot fox said to him. It was too suspicious. So Zoro followed the human. The fox looked calm in his arms and that was even weirder for Zoro.

The human opened the back door, and came inside with confident steps. Like he was the king of this place, and put Sanji on one of the tables. More humans were there that came and went, and screamed at each other. Playing with fire and food, the smells were amazing to Zoro's nose. And he almost drooled, but made himself to gather his focus on the fox. After that, the old human went somewhere, Zoro wasn't sure where.

"It smells great in here, right?" Sanji comments from the table. "I've tried to steal from here once before, but that old human hit me with that wood of his. It hurt, but since then he come and fed me a lot. You see grassy cat, he's not that bad."

"You still can't trust him." Zoro growled in silence, he wasn't so sure if he can trust the human so fast, even if the idiot fox trusted him.

"I know… someday he will stop feeding me. I already know that…" Sanji's voice sounded sad.

Zoro ears full down, he didn't mean to make the fox sad, but he really couldn't make himself trust the human. He just couldn't.

"It's okay, grassy. I still can make fun of you." Sanji giggled in mockery.

"Shut up, spiral fox!" Zoro growled, but felt lighter than before.

Sanji laughed hard and put his paw on his stomach at the sound of the annoyed cat. It was fine until the old human come back and held the fox's arms and legs tight down, making him lie down on the table not in a gentle manner. His fingers poked Sanji wound, and he yelp in pain. After hearing Sanji, Zoro immediately jumped on the table and growled at the human again. Ready to bite his hand off to his shoulder if needed too.

"Your friend is really worried about your ass, ahh shitty fox?" The old human said as he continued to poke his wounds until Sanji bit his finger with hostile look, making him bleed a little.

"It hurts you bastard!" Sanji growled, but the old human wasn't scared or let him go. He only tightened his grip on him, smiling a little with pride in his eyes.

"You ungrateful little creature." His words were sharp, but his tone was warm. Like a father toward his son. Leaving his wounds, he pet Sanji's head gently. Sanji enjoyed the sudden touch - it calmed him down a little. And Zoro came to sit next to him

"This human is weird." He was more relaxed now.

"I know, right? But he's not bad." Sanji concluded.

"But he isn't good either." Zoro proceeded.

"Yes." Sanji agreed, malting by the so gentle touch.

After some time, a new human came in the room, very tall with short black hair. His eyes were sharp and cold, he sat down next to the old human and Sanji and pooled out his tools.

"I hope you'll pay me good for this-ya."

"Shut up and do what you came here for! I'm a busy man." The old human said and got up, shooting orders at the others men.

Sanji tried to run away from the new human, but the young human with the weird heat held his body on the table, and Zoro growled a little at him, warning him.

"It's okay, fox-ya. I'm here to take care of you."

The young human turned him on his back and attached a weird white tool to his heart. It was cold, and Sanji yelped at him. He didn't like the cold feeling from the white tool. Zoro come to bite him, but the young human grabbed the cat's neck and put him on the floor. Zoro come back to him with a jump on the table, growling even more.

But before he could do anything, the young human started treating the wounds professionally and cleanly. He cleaned his wounds and bandaged them. Make sure it won't full off anytime soon. And after he done he pet his head, and gut a very nice bite from the fox.

"There fox-bro. Don't fight too much." He said with a pleased smile.

With that he gathered his things to his bag and walked to the old human, Zoro approached Sanji silently and smelled him a little.

"You okay, crazy fox?"

"Yes, actually it doesn't hurt anymore. Hey, you're the crazy one!"

"I see… Nope, you're the crazy one." Zoro sat down, and the fox rose to sit too.

"But it was damn annoying! All this touching and the cold tool he push at me. I hate him! I should have bitten him harder."

"Why, you didn't seem to mind his touch that much, I think you liked it when human touched your head like that." Zoro mocked Sanji and the latter sent him a hostile glare

"I did not like it!" Sanji screamed back.

"Right right, you didn't." Zoro said with sarcastic growl.

"Oh yes!? Let's see you then, after humans touch your head like that, grassy!"

"It a shame we will never know, because humans will never touch me like that, unless they want to lose their hand." Zoro smiled evilly at Sanji who looked a little shocked, and his ears fell.

"Really? But… you know, it's nice to gut them once in a while. Sometimes… it's really nice."

"I don't care… I don't need it." Zoro said and Sanji scorned at him.

"You're just a show off, grassy, because you're an idiot cat!"

"What did you say, spiral fox?!" Zoro growled and jumped at Sanji.
