Here I go again. I'm those people who love starting thousands of fics, and then never finishing it. I'm not sure if I can call this crap, but let's see. I suppose this fic won't be short, but not very long either. Go read.
-A Lost Explorer-
1 - Desert
I slowly crawled over the unbearably hot sand. Supplies? All used up. Except one last drop of water left in my bottle. But, I presume it would evaporate once I take off the lid.
I, Tamao Tamamura, was stranded in a desert. I could already anticipate my fate; which was to eventually become dehydrated in this place where it felt like hell. Yes, why was my life so short? I want to enjoy the next few decades of my life! I'm not even married yet! Oh, why did God have to be so cruel?
At last, I could not hold it any longer.I finally reached to the backpack on my back and dumped out the water bottle. I examined it absently, and estimated that i had about 5mL of warm water left. I actually smiled to myself once I had swallowed the precious drop down my dry throat. Then, I realized I could not survive any longer than a few more hours. In just hours, I would be left unconcious in the middle of a boiling desert.
Gradually, I used up my remaining energy from crawling and blacked out.
***
When I regained my conciousness, I first inspected my surroundings to confirm whether I was dead or not. Interesting enough, I saw that I was lying on an unfamiliar mattress. I then realized I was still alive. Someone must've come and rescued me.
I yawned gently and heard a voice say amusingly, "Oh, you awake already?"
I turned around suddenly and saw my savior. "Ummm, yeah...thankyou for saving me."
The young man grinned and gave me some food and water. "I was lucky to have seen you from this temporary hut. Here, eat some food."
I thanked him countless times before I hungrily devoured the delicious meal. All the time, he was watching me intently. "You sure were hungry..." He said.
I nodded as I gulped the rest of the water down. He then got up. "I've got to go now. Your name?"
"Tamamura Tamao."
"Tamao? I've heard of that name before...I think...oh well, I'm Asakura Yoh."
"Don't go yet...how am I supposed to leave the desert?" I questioned desperately.
Asakura grinned again. "Nanto kanaru saa!"
I didn't understand that phrase. That was Japanese. Yes, I was born a Japanese, but was adopted by a British family till now since I'm an adult and I'm by myself. Before I could stop Asakura, he left. Somehow, I felt disturbed at his sudden leaving. Also, I wondered what my next movements were supposed to be.
I lay on the mattress for a few moments before standing up. I took a look around the hut and gathered my belongings and some dry canned food Asakura had left for me. Before I went out the door, I took one last check and found a note on the table:
Dear traveler,
Before you leave, be sure to check under the mattress. The object underneath is the key to your survival in the desert.
-Yoh Asakura
I almost forgot. The mattress. I lefted it up, and underneath it reavled a still-working radar. Now I must say the radar was fairly easy to manipulate since I am an explorer.
And so, I followed the radar's signals of the nearest city for what seemed like hours, the day turned to night, and eventually, I found myself in this not very populated city. I asked a resident and she replied that I was in the city of Funbari. This is peculiar. I don't remember Japan contained a desert. Perhaps it was a dream. Whether it was a dream or not, it seemed like reality to me.
After scanning about the few streets, I found a suitable hotel to stay in for the night. Funbari Onsen. Strangely enough, the building looked very familiar. Why is that?
I retrieved my room key and entered my room. Wow. It was a neat-looking room. The bathroom was constructed to look like a real spa, even the smell was realistic. I need to know more about Japanese. I supposed onsen means spa. That's simple to figure out.
I jumped onto the soft bed excitedly (like a child) and started bouncing when the doorbell rang. I opened the door and a man in a formal suit (perhaps a waiter?) addressed me as, "Miss Tamamura". Anyway, he told me about how today was the first anniversary of Funbari Onsen, and the manager (and his wife) had invited all the hotel guests staying for tonight to a dinner party in the banquet room. I accepted the invitation hesitantly, but almost regretted my decision later. I was still quite tired, but thanks to that Asakura, at least I'm not dead. That Asakura Yoh. Come to think of it, I think I've seen him before. But where? I'm to lazy to think. I've completely lost or perhaps forgotten my childhood memories. My parents (who adopted me) told me I was found somewhere below a mountain. they say I must have been mountain-climbing. I have to admit, I'm scared of heights. So I doubt that their theory was correct.
The party was to start at seven. I glanced at the radio clock. 6PM. One more hour.
To kill time, I took my time showering and getting dressed neatly (not that I had many choices). I wonder if I had smelled badly in front of Asakura Yoh. I do not dare to think about the horrible stench.
***
Chapter 1 is finished. TBC.
END NOTE: Hmm, I have realized this will be quite a complicated story after all. And I still have other fics to finish too! So now, I have 4 fics I have to worry about. Be sure to review for my sake (not).
