I'll Be Your Hero

Prologue

Sanji parked the car and sighed heavily. This trip was getting harder and harder every day. Even so he wasn't about to stop. He has been doing it for two years now and he couldn't stop; nor would he for anyone. This trip he made every day since October of 2012 was more important than his life.

Sanji took the keys from the engine and got out of the car. He locked it and headed for the entrance to the hospital. He stopped when he realized he had forgotten something, "Shit," he cursed and headed for the car once more. He took out his keys and opened the trunk. He pulled out a large bag of home cooked food, and once again locked the car. "Can't believe I forgot."

Having everything he needed he headed right for the elevator. As he stepped in a nurse had stepped out and gave Sanji a smile.

"Hello Sanji."

"Nancy you look beautiful as always!" Sanji greeted with a smile.

"Oh Sanji, that's nonsense. I just got off a 48 hour shift." She chuckled.

"You could never tell. See you, I have food to deliver."

Nancy waved him off with a smile.

Sanji watched as the elevator closed on Nancy's retrieving back. She sure was beautiful; it was too bad she was getting married. Once the elevator rang and the doors opened on his floor he stepped out and headed for the nurses' station.

"Hi everyone," He greeted and placed a few bentos on the counter. "Enjoy!"

"Thanks man!" said one of the male nurses.

"See you later Sanji!" said a female nurse.

Sanji just waved his hand and continued on his way down to the peats ward. He had ill kids to visit and some to feed. He loved doing it and had been for two years, but it was getting difficult. It was Hard and painful to see all those dying and ill children; one in particular who he had grown very fond of over the years.

Even though it was hard, he wasn't about to stop. Not anytime soon anyway. With a sigh Sanji started his rounds, putting on a smile.

Sanji knocked on the room to the last patent. "Jimmy," he said with a smile as he entered.

Inside the room was a six year old boy attached to several IV bags and wearing a baseball cap. He smiled happily when he seen Sanji. "You're late! The fights already started!"

"I'm sorry. Nurse Lila had to speak with me about something. How are you feeling today?"

"Better. Did you bring me something?" Jimmy asked not taking his eyes off the blond.

"Yeah, some food and a new bandana," he said and took out the black fabric, showing it to the boy.

"So cool! That's just like Zoro's! Where did you get it?"

"I found it at the mall. I remembered you telling me that you liked Roronoa Zoro that shitty swordsman." He said and handed the bandana over.

"HEY! He's a good swordsman! He won three champ... champiochips! And made third on the world cup! They say he will win second this year." The boy babbled excitedly.

"You mean championship?" Sanji laughed. "I suppose. Did I ever tell you that I went to school with him?"

"You did? When?"

"Yep, until the tenth grade, he had moved at the end of the last term."

"Yeah? Were you friends?" Jimmy asked his eyes sparkling with interest. He was sitting up now, back turned to the TV.

"Sort of. We had a few classes together. I doubt he remembers me though, being famous and all."

"Yeah. You are probably right." Jimmy sighed. "I mean he probably forgot about all da lackeys from his old days!"

Sanji laughed. "I suppose so. Is he on tonight?"

Jimmy shook his head. "Nah sword fights are not for another few weeks. Guess what though!"

"What?"

"It's being held here this year. The USA state sword championships are being held here! Ah I wish he'd come and see me. Ah but I doubt it! He's so busy."

Sanji smiled. "Well maybe. But he could. Things could happen, ya know?" Sanji winked.

Jimmy beams. "Yeah. That would be so. Cool!"

"Okay now, eat your dinner and we'll watch the fights. I have to leave a little early though. Work tonight."

"Okay and why are you working nights again?" The boy asked, grabbing his bento.

"Well, rent rose." He wrinkled his nose. "It won't be for long. I hear I may be getting a raise."

"Oh that's good. You can get a new car."

"A new car?" Sanji laughed. "Well maybe, mine is old. Now eat. How are you going to get better if you don't eat?"

Jimmy sighed and shrugged. "Okay okay! Shush!" he grumbled and turned to watch the fighting tournament as he ate.

Sanji watched him with a small smile. Today seemed like a good day.

~X~

Sanji got home late that night. Having two jobs and doing extra for the hospital was tiring, but he couldn't stop. He rubbed his eyes and tossed his bag on the couch and kicked off his shoes. He vaguely wondered if Zoro would remember him. They didn't get along well in school, often fighting. So, he doubt the swordsman would know him if he tried to contact him.

He'll have to ask Luffy when he sees him tomorrow at work. He knew the bus boy had kept in touch, intact Luffy had gone to one of his matches just last year. He wondered if Zoro would do him a favor and went to see the kids in the hospital, or at least give him an autograph for Jimmy. Eh, he'll figure something out when the guy was in town. For now, Sanji wanted a shower, some food and then some sleep. It was a long day after all; perhaps even a tad stressful.
