The day began quite normally for Tsunayoshi Sawada. He woke up to the warmth of the sun shining on him gently. The warmth of its rays massaged Tsuna's skin and tickled his cheeks. He slept peacefully as it was a Saturday and he finally got the chance to sleep in for once. He had been so tired from training everyday with Reborn for the past week. It wasn't easy being the candidate for a Mafia Boss! And after a few years, he was a high schooler, now at the age of seventeen.
Tsuna was dreaming oh so peacefully, his head lying on his comfortable pillow. His body was covered by a thick blanket that kept him so warm. He was dreaming too; dreaming of nothing else other than her. The girl he has loved ever since his eyes first looked upon her. She was a single rose among petty flowers, the silver moon reflected in the dark sea, the beautiful star that shines brighter than all the others, oh yes. She was the girl he loved with all his being; he loved her so much it hurt! His chest throbbed from the sensation of love that burned inside of him. By just thinking about her made Tsuna feel like he would fall into a dream at the drop of a hat. He couldn't get her out of his head, no matter where he went. He felt that his love sick mind would imagine her at his side, smiling like an angel justfor him, holding hishand, and making himfeel like the luckiest guy in the world. But alas, all of that would simply be a dream that would never come true…
Thus the dream ends, and reality begins as Tsuna's eyes darted open as he awoke from his great dream. He yawned as he turned from one side of the bed to the other, shuffling under the covers before he finally managed to get himself out of bed. He stretched out his arms wide and up in the air before slowly letting them drop by his side. He wondered what he was going to do next. He had nothing in particular to do; nothing to do besides eat. He got off of his bed and walked out of his room downstairs where he was welcomed by the smell of eggs and rice along with some other delectable meats. His mother, Nana, was cooking a meal for her family. However, Tsuna expected that "family" to include unexpected guests like Reborn and Lambo. But to his surprise he was the only one in the kitchen along with his mother.
He took a seat at the table and looked around suspiciously, half expecting to be attacked by Reborn or annoyed by Lambo to play a game, or anyone at all to bother him. But it was quiet aside from the sizzling of the eggs in his mother's frying pan.
His mother, after a short time, turned around and greeted her son with a big smile. "Good morning! I already have some breakfast made for you to enjoy. Here Tsuna, a nice hot meal to start off your day!" She handed Tsuna a plate of eggs, a sausage, and a bowl of rice on the side. Tsuna's mouth nearly watered from the sight of such a good meal before him! "Itadakimasu!" Tsuna cried out before he eagerly began to eat the food. His mother was delighted that her son enjoyed her cooking so dearly and she then began to clean up some dishes.
After a while Tsuna decided to ask his mother out of curiosity if she knew where Reborn and the others were. She turned back around after setting aside a plate she just washed and put a finger to her chin as she thought about it for a moment before it came to her.
"Ah your tutor? Oh, yes," she began as she walked over to Tsuna, "I had almost forgotten to tell you that he wanted you to show up at your school today! I was meant to wake you up early, but you were sleeping so soundly I couldn't bear to do so!"
Tsuna's jaw dropped as he quickly jumped up from his seat and shook the table. "When was I supposed to go to the school?" Tsuna said with fear on his face and worry overwhelming him.
"Hmm? About 7:30…?" She said to him as they both looked at the wall clock that told them it was approximately 9:00am. Oh God no! Why does this have to be? Tsuna knew very well that Reborn would not want him to be late for anything! Reborn would even kill him for being too early! Tsuna quickly ran upstairs to get changed into his orange and white hoodie, black jeans, and black shoes before he went back downstairs to run out the door. His mother just stared blankly before smiling and began speaking to herself.
"Ah, they grow up so fast! I bet he has clearly forgotten that today is me and his father's anniversary hasn't he? Hmm, thinking about it, he is just like his father in so many ways. Always out the door and gone without a word… but… I know he will always come back to me. He is that kind of a person isn't he, Iemitsu?"
She smiled as she thought that her son was truly growing to become a great man. She only hoped that he would find someone who he could always return to; someone he could always go to, and someone… who will make all of his dreams come true, just as Iemitsu did for her.
Tsuna was running as fast his legs could carry him to his school. His chest panning in and out as many deep breaths as his lungs could hold to give him the ability to get there as quickly as possible! Oh how he wished he was as athletic as Ryohei or Yamamoto right now! But as he ran to the school, he wondered what Reborn could possibly want. Was it more training? Tsuna was getting even more exhausted just thinking about it - or perhaps he was terribly out of shape?
He finally managed to get himself to the school, which he realized was closed because they were on break! He couldn't believe how stupid he was to not realize that. What high schooler actually goes to school on breaks? He examined the gate that surrounded his school before something that shouldbe obvious to everyone caught in the top corner of his eyes. He saw, or at least he thought he saw a giant space ship? Tsuna blinked twice, wiped his eyes with his hands, and stared blankly at it again.
"What the-"
"Oh? Tsuna-kun! Hello!"
"Huh?" Tsuna's heart began throbbing when he heard that sweet sound in his ears as he turned around slowly to see none other than her. Oh God why did he have to see her now? He was unprepared, not ready to face the girl of his dreams in the harsh reality they both exist in. He was shocked to see her standing before his eyes. He looked at her from top to bottom and examined her in full detail. His eyes attached to her glorious form and the amazing flock of auburn hair that flowed in the wind. Her hair was long and had a long twirled braid with a flower wrapped around the braid. Her big brown eyes that shimmered in the light were so dazzling! Her silky smooth white skin was alluring; it was practically tempting Tsuna to run his hands down the exposed parts of her body. She wore a pink floral shirt, white jean shorts, and white sandals that made her appear girly and cute. Strangely enough, she also had a suitcase with her which she gripped by the handle in one hand with a duffle bag around her shoulder. This girl was Kyoko Sasagawa, the girl he has loved ever since middle school.
"K-Kyoko..-san…" Tsuna sputtered as he practically trembled over his words. He was so nervous from being so close to her! They haven't had much chance to interact in High School even though they still have the same class. Even after Tsuna worked so hard to get into the same High School as her just so he can still be able to look at her from afar. He didn't want her to disappear, and he did everything in his power to be close to her. But he is still No-Good Tsuna who clearly is lackluster compared to her who gets the best grades in the class and is admired by everyone. He was no match for her, he knew that. But he still dreamed that one day maybe he could be a match for her. Without even realizing it Kyoko had walked up to him and their faces were inches apart. Tsuna nearly jumped out of his skin and away from her but Kyoko grabbed onto his arm and brought him back to her.
"Ah…uhh…ah…." Tsuna muttered as Kyoko tilted her head and looked into his expression.
"Are you all right Tsuna-kun? You're just standing there staring at me…are you sick?" Kyoko asked him. Tsuna thought he was definitely love sick, and he did feel hot but that was only because her hand was touching his! It felt so unbelievably good, so soft, and so warm with the palm of her hand touching his hand. He worried if his hand was sweaty especially after running here. He hoped he didn't look too tired or anything as well, or she might think he was weak. Tsuna just barely managed to tell her he was fine, and though she didn't seem to believe it fully, she told him okay. She then began to look around until she saw that space-ship-looking object on the roof of a school building.
"Oh! Tsuna-Kun, you see that? What do you think that is on the roof?" She asked Tsuna who remembered the most unusual thing here. He really had no idea how he knew this, only that it had Reborn written all over this situation…
"Oh! There is a note here with Reborn's name on it!" Kyoko pointed out as she found a note on the fence. Tsuna just shook his head as he walked over and joined Kyoko to read the note with her.
"To No-Good and Kyoko,"It started off. It annoyed Tsuna that he wasn't even referred to by name and continued, "Go around to the back of the fence where there will be an opening for you two to go through. I want you two to go up to the roof of the gymnasium and enter the aircraft. Further Instructions await."
"Hmm, so Reborn wants us to ride in an aircraft Tsuna-Kun? Oh my, this sounds like a lot of fun doesn't it?" Kyoko said cheerfully before she caught a glance of Tsuna's face of horror. He was terrified of the idea of getting into anything Reborn wanted him to! What could all this mean? What did Reborn have planned for him and Kyoko? He sighed as he eyed the luggage Kyoko was carrying and realized that Kyoko looked prepared to leave somewhere.
"K-Kyoko-san…why do you have all of that stuff with you?" Tsuna asked her.
"Hmm? Oh this? Well you should know Tsuna…I mean I was told to bring some supplies for a vacation by Fuuta-chan. He told me that you wanted to go on a vacation with me somewhere for the week….I was quite surprised when he told me that…I didn't think you were interested in spending some time with me like this…but I'm happy you wanted me to come with you," Kyoko said shyly as she began playing with the braid of her hair cutely. Tsuna felt like cupid had just shot him in the chest with one of his arrows for seeing how cute Kyoko acted! But there was no time for that; he couldn't believe that Reborn was trying to set him and Kyoko up like this! But wait, Kyoko doesn't actually seem to mind so much right? Yeah! She even said she was happy to come! Without even realizing it a big grin showed up on Tsuna's face and felt such delight in his body. But he didn't want it to seem so obvious to Kyoko and tried to play it cool. He told her that they should be going then and guided Kyoko confidently.
Well, as confident as Tsunayoshi Sawada can get! He walked Kyoko to the back of the fence where there was an opening…and by opening, it was a giant hole that was blown up in the fence! But he didn't even care and Kyoko just remarked how big of a hole it was without questioning it too much. They then paced towards the gym where they found a staircase that scaled up to the roof of the gym. They took their time trekking up the stairs with Kyoko following behind Tsuna carefully. She mentioned she was nervous of heights and took Tsuna's hand without hesitation.
"Hehe, sorry Tsuna-kun…do you mind? I'm worried I might fall off or something. It's all right with you…right?" Kyoko asked Tsuna who was almost frozen in place by holding her hand for a second time today! He felt that he was blessed to be able to hold her hand like this!
"Oh…it's nothing Kyoko-san…I d-don't mind at all!" Tsuna said bravely. Kyoko giggled and told him that she was grateful for his kindness. They both then carried on to the top of the stairs to the room where the wind grew heavier from the North direction. Tsuna and Kyoko's eyes instantly went to the biggest thing they saw.
It was a giant air craft resembling a plane of sorts with long wings, a wide gray body resembling a helicopter's, and two doors on both sides of it. Tsuna had never seen any air crafts like this one but he guessed this is some secret mafia technology. Kyoko was bewildered by it and began mentioning the specs to the vehicle suddenly which surprised Tsuna as he didn't know Kyoko had in interest in planes. She told him that this was fast and could go much, much faster than any car. It was a six seater plane, equipped with state of the art equipment, and all the necessary items needed for survival in states of emergency like a radio and a first aid kit. She went on for a moment, rambling about the aircraft until she stopped and covered her mouth.
"Ah s-sorry I…I didn't mean to say all of that…" Kyoko said with a small smile as she darted her eyes away from Tsuna who was looking at her with surprise.
"Oh…you don't have to apologize. I am surprised though…I didn't know you had an interest in aircrafts Kyoko-san."
"Well…it isn't just aircrafts. I have an interest in all kinds of vehicles…like cars, boats, and trains. I…have a passion for traveling you know…just going to places…any place really…" Kyoko said and for a moment, to Tsuna she looked almost sad. As if there was something deep down that was bothering her. Tsuna wanted to reach out to her and ask her what the problem was but he retracted his hand when he realized it would be no good. However, he wouldn't just let her stay with that saddened expression and asked if she would like to check out the inside of the plane herself. This brought a glimmer to her eye as she thought about this and brought excitement to her. She eagerly took Tsuna's hand and dragged him over to the plane where she examined the door. She then pressed a button and the door opened to let them inside the plane which was as marvelous on the inside as it was on the outside.
"Wow! So this is what this looks like on the inside! It's amazing! Look at all of this Tsuna-kun! Did you set all of this up?" Kyoko asked him but Tsuna nodded no.
"I didn't set…all of this up….truth be told, I didn't really plan this…" Tsuna said before he got cut off by Kyoko who ordered Tsuna to come check out the cockpit. She led him past a door within the ship that led them into the front of the ship where the controls were. Kyoko quickly began to fawn all over the technology in front of her and began pointing out different parts to Tsuna. He knew she was smart but not this smart. Her knowledge over things in their civilized society surprised Tsuna. He felt even more hopeless from just listening to her as he didn't even understand the basic concepts of flying…despite the fact he can fly with his hands.
However, Tsuna did find Kyoko amazing to know so much. He was grateful he got to see this side to her that was so bright. However, he did wonder why Reborn had got him such an exquisite plane and what the meaning behind all of this was for anyway. He looked around and saw that there was no note or anything left by Reborn. It was actually strange because Tsuna expected Reborn to show up out of nowhere and pop something random on them but instead, nothing happened. He refocused his attention on Kyoko who also seemed confused about something; he noticed by the look on her face.
"Hey…Tsuna-Kun…you notice something odd about these controls?" Kyoko said with her arms on her hip as she examined the control board in front of her. It had numerous buttons, switches, and a green radar in the center of it all. Tsuna wasn't sure what exactly was missing until he began looking for a steering wheel. That's when he noticed there was no way to steer this ship at all! For that matter how do you even start it up? No, who is supposed to fly this thing?
"There's no steering wheel…and no pilot. This doesn't seem quite right…" Tsuna said as he took notice of the window to his side and looked out of it. And for a quick moment he thought he saw Reborn sitting there on a lounge chair sipping a cup of juice, but he knew that couldn't possibly….wait. That is Reborn right there! But why is he outside and just smiling at Tsuna like that? That's when Tsuna realized the doors behind him and Kyoko had closed themselves and they were stuck in there. Kyoko noticed this too and tried to open the door but it was locked shut.
"Oh no! The door is locked! What do we do Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko asked Tsuna who tried to remain calm. It's not like they were in any danger right? Reborn's intentions wouldn't involve hurting him…mostly; but he did have Kyoko who was innocent in all of this.
"Don't worry Kyoko-san…I'm sure we can get out of here. It's not like the plane will take off by itself…" Tsuna said before they both could hear the plane's engine starting up and the plane began to shake. Kyoko then quickly held onto Tsuna tightly out of fear as the plane suddenly began moving forward! Tsuna wanted to go check on the control panel but Kyoko held onto him so tightly and wouldn't let him move an inch as she was too scared to let go. The plane then took off into the air and they were soaring through the sky. Tsuna and Kyoko fell backwards and Tsuna's back and head crashed against the door behind him as he tried to protect Kyoko's body with his own. However, the impact was so great that it felt like his own brain hit his skull! He slowly fell to the floor with Kyoko in his arms as he saw the light dim from his eyes. He vaguely heard Kyoko shouting his name and all Tsuna could say to her was, "Be…safe…" Tsuna then passed out with everything going dark.
He fell into a dream of sorts he thought, he could only see darkness. Though in this dream he heard something odd yet familiar to him…the sounds of waves? The ocean? Thinking about it he also felt really warm and relaxed. As if he was back in his own bed again and everything that happened was just a dream. But he's dreaming now isn't he? That's when his eyes opened and he found himself looking up at the night sky which was painted with stars. Tsuna's body felt weary, and he had no idea where he was. So he looked to his right and was shocked to see the ship close to him! It was in bad condition nonetheless with pieces of it lying around it and it didn't look so cool anymore. It even crashed into a pine tree with a huge rock beside it.
Tsuna thought to himself, 'I…was in a plane crash? And wait…that means Kyoko was too?" Tsuna panicked as he slowly got up and looked around for Kyoko. That's when he realized where he was lying on as he looked to his left to see the grand ocean right in front of him! He then looked down at his hand and felt the smooth white sand at the palms of his hands. He picked up a handful and examined it closely to double check if it was real. It was undoubtedly sand, and there was no doubting that was the ocean in front of him! He was on an island?
Tsuna then tried to get up but he felt his sharp pain shoot up in his back that made him fall backwards gently onto the sand again. His head also began throbbing from a severe head ache and he put a hand up to his forehead. Dammit. How did he end up here? And where was Kyoko he wondered? He wishes with all of his might he could get up and go look for her but he was too badly injured. He wondered how bad his injuries were exactly. He really hit the back of the ship hard with all the force it built up so quickly.
He looked off into the ocean and he thought for a moment he must have been seeing things. Because he could've sworn he saw a mermaid in the ocean. A girl who came up from the waters with her bare body exposed with the water of the ocean dancing around her like rain drops as she came up from the dark blue water. Her body was beautiful and shined with the sun as the back drop for what seemed to be a painting of a beautiful woman. Her long hair was drenched and stuck to her back. She reached around with her arms and moved the hair from her neck and exposed it to Tsuna's eyes. The back of her neck which led down to the rest of her naked body. She was making Tsuna feel jealous of the water! Tsuna wondered who this girl was and wondered why his eyes were so attached to her until he saw the girl turned around. And then his eyes widened when he found it was Kyoko who was in the water! He couldn't keep his eyes off of her as he saw the bare forefront of her body, the curves of a woman, and the beauty of her body was the water enhanced her already goddess like form.
Tsuna couldn't keep her eyes off of her body as she began to walk towards the shoreline. Tsuna quickly faced his head towards the sky and closed his eyes shut. "Dammit! Why is she in the ocean? Why is she NAKED? Oh God, I'm so sorry Kyoko! I didn't mean to betray you like that! These hopeless eyes of mine…oh how I want to hate them but I'm so grateful I didn't lose my sight!" Tsuna thought to himself as he heard Kyoko step onto the beach and drew closer to him.
"Hmm…still a sleep huh? You sure do like to sleep for a long time Tsuna…please…I hope you wake up soon. It's kind of scary actually being on this island…I'm too scared to go looking around…and the ship isn't working anymore thanks to my incredible skills…" She said which made Tsuna realize that Kyoko might blame herself for them being here? Why? There was nothing she could do yet she still blames herself? How kind can you get…? He really wanted to open her eyes and let her know he was okay, but it was taking every part of his body to prevent that from happening!
He then heard her walk past him and he seemingly thought she found her clothes and she was getting dressed now. When he heard what he thought was the last piece of clothing get put on her opened his eyes slowly and looked over to her. She was knelt down in front of some firewood while wearing the clothes she was in before except without her sandals. Tsuna then thought now would be a good idea to let her know he was awake.
"Kyoko-san…?" He said to her. Kyoko then spun her head around quickly and felt feelings of gratefulness and happiness overwhelm her as she got from the sand to her feet and ran over to Tsuna. She swopped Tsuna into her arms and embraced him stronger than she did before on the plane and held him tightly against her.
"Oh Tsuna-kun! You're awake! You're okay! Thank God, I'm so glad you're okay!" Kyoko cried out. Tsuna was a little bit surprised to see her care so much about him. "Poor Kyoko, she must have been so worried about me," Tsuna realized as he even saw some tears fall from Kyoko's eyes as she began to ball and Tsuna let her cry to her heart's content and do as she wished with him. He had no right to stop her he felt, as it was his fault that he made such a beautiful girl cry over him.
Sometime later Kyoko had managed to move to Tsuna by dragging him closer to the fire to feel its savory warmth. It was growing dark and for the most part the two of them was calm about the situation. Though they were both worried about their situation and what they were going to do from here on out.
Kyoko was the first to voice her worries as she began to talk about the ship. "So…the ship is a total wreck. It still looks somewhat functional but I'm no mechanic…and I don't think you are either. The radio I think still works but it's not picking up anything yet…" She said as she began kindling the fire and trying to make it stronger to last the night. Tsuna nodded to this and began to think what he could do for the situation. He could fly them back, had he remembered to bring any Dying Will pills. Plus even if he could, he would have no idea where to fly them to and how long it would take before they reached any form of civilization. He couldn't even move right now and he doesn't know how long it will be before he can.
He sighed and said, "What a situation we got ourselves in…I'm sorry I got you wrapped up in all of this. I know you wouldn't want to waste your time like this stranded on an island with me…" Tsuna said which made Kyoko feel sad as actually hated to hear talk about Tsuna being No-Good.
"Hey! Don't say things like that! No need to blame yourself…"
"But I am technically responsible…Reborn set all this up for me…and now look where we are. We could be miles away from civilization and who knows if rescues will find us soon…ah, I'm sorry. I know I must sound really pessimistic but…"
"No…you're right. The situation isn't great…we will have to find food soon and a clear source of fresh water. There was some minor food supplies on the ship along with other stuff like the first aid kit and the stuff you brought…"
"Huh? I didn't bring anything?" Tsuna questioned her which made Kyoko confused.
"Your stuff was in the closet of the ship. You didn't put it there before?" Kyoko asked him. Tsuna told her no and he realized Reborn or whoever must have packed his stuff for him. Well at least he had a change of clothes but clothing was the least of his concerns right now. The day was growing darker and Kyoko had to drag Tsuna all the way inside the ship and he felt guilty to make a girl carry him there but he didn't have a choice. They retreated to the doorway of the ship where they felt they would be safe at night.
Kyoko had pulled out a mattress from the closet with some blankets and pillows. However, when Kyoko and Tsuna first saw them they sort of got the idea the others had planned for them. The pillows were heart shaped, the blanket was thick and red, and there was only one bed! Kyoko giggled with blush in her cheeks.
"They…have a sense of humor when it comes to you don't they? Reborn and whoever helped him?" Kyoko said shyly.
"Y-yeah…they sure do…" Tsuna said blushing also as they both looked away from the other. Tsuna quickly offered to sacrifice himself and lie out on the sand but Kyoko refused that full heartedly! "Don't be like that Tsuna! Why do you have to sleep outside on the sand?"
"My body isn't worthy…" He mumbled which confused Kyoko who thought he was just being weird.
"Well you can't exactly move so right now I'm in charge! And you're going to sleep with me!" Kyoko exclaimed before she realized how suggestive and embarrassing that sounded. Her face turned complete red as she began to shake her head with her hands over her face. "W-wait…n-no…that's not what I meant! I mean in the same bed together…oh God I mean…"
Tsuna still blushing began to laugh at how cute Kyoko was once again. He couldn't go up against that could he?
"Okay…okay. You win Kyoko…we'll as you say 'sleep together', " Tsuna said to tease Kyoko who began pouting.
"Don't be a meanie Tsuna!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too! Now stop arguing with me or I'll…bite you!"
"W-what?"
"Sorry…a very bad threat…I'm not good at arguing so just let me win the argument!"
"This is an argument?"
"Well…I mean…stop being MEAN!" Kyoko shouted at Tsuna who began laughing again. He laughed too much and made his back hurt form the movement. Kyoko then knelt down and tended to Tsuna.
"Haha…guess I can't laugh too much. I hurt my back pretty badly…" Tsuna said to Kyoko who nodded as she looked at his back. It looked fine for the most part, but it was swollen pretty badly down the ridge of his spine. She wondered if there were any internal problems but she couldn't tell. However, she noticed how firm and strong Tsuna's back felt as she rubbed her hand down his back gently. He was so strong, she was surprised passing out with an injured back was the only injury he received.
"Oh…I'm sorry you took such a hit because you were trying to protect me…" Kyoko said to Tsuna who shook his head.
"Hey, it's nothing Kyoko…I-I…I will always protect you…" Tsuna said while he looked away from her. Kyoko's face began turning red again as she muttered, "T-thank you…T-Tsuna…"
After a moment of silence Kyoko helped Tsuna on to the mattress she laid out in the center of the ship. She then closed the door to make sure no animals got in she hoped and went to join Tsuna on the mattress with the blanket covering them both. They faced the opposite direction of the other and were quiet. Tsuna wondered if he should say something to Kyoko but what? He had no idea what he should tell her right now even though he desperately wishes he could. If he was smarter, he would think to tell her how everything will be okay and he can take care of her but could he do in his condition? They didn't say a word to the other as nightfall came and the only sounds they could hear was the emptiness of the ship and the soft sounds of the waves touching the shore.
It was dark in the ship, and the only thing Tsuna could see clearly was what was point blank in front of him. Then he turned his head and to his surprise saw Kyoko looking at him. They both seemed shocked and embarrassed by this sudden encounter as their eyes gazed upon the other. Tsuna was about to turn his head away, thinking he was being rude somehow but Kyoko had grabbed his hand like she did before under the covers. This made Tsuna turn his eyes back to her and saw she looked worried about something.
"A-are you okay Kyoko?" He asked her and she simply shook her head no.
"I'm scared…it's just us two here…and I don't know if we will be okay. I don't know…this island…it feels like a nightmare right now…" Kyoko said to him and Tsuna realized she was gripping his hand so firmly. She must have a habit of holding onto things when she is scared. But he felt a genuine feeling of fear that he could see in her eyes. Tsuna not know what else to do he hugged Kyoko and brought her closer to him. Kyoko then began to feel calmer as she listened closely to the sound of Tsuna's heart beat in his chest. She felt her fears disappear and she had forgotten she was even scared.
"I'm sorry Kyoko…"
"…You don't need to apologize. That seems to be mostly what we have been saying to the other is sorry…"
"And I feel like we still have many things to apologize for…but for now. Let me say thank you…Kyoko…"
"For what?" She said as she looked up and into his eyes.
"For not doing this earlier…I should've told you everything will be okay. And trust me, it will. I won't let anything happen to you," Tsuna said and Kyoko could feel the conviction in his words.
"I know…and I'm thankful for that. I'll do my best to take care of you as well…Tsuna…"
"Hmm…I'm not Tsuna-kun anymore?" Tsuna noticed out loud which embarrassed Kyoko.
"I-it doesn't mean anything…just didn't feel like being formal was all! I'm just Kyoko to you as well!" She reminded Tsuna who felt outplayed. They both then held tightly onto the other with their arms wrapped around the other. Tsuna was thinking out their plans for tomorrow of securing resources and supplies. They would need a lot to survive and they need to explore the island. Though it would have to wait until he can actually stand up for himself. He needs to recover fast so he can protect Kyoko whom he noticed became much more precious in his heart. The sweet smell of her hair which smelled like flowers mixed with the saltiness of the ocean. Her body was cold and warm all at the same time and he was grateful he could be so close to her. Being stranded on an island with the girl you love might have some perks after all Tsuna thought.
"So…I been meaning to mention this but…you were awake when you saw me bathing in the ocean weren't you?" Kyoko said teasingly as she poked Tsuna in the forehead with her finger. Tsuna's face turned red and turned his eyes away from her to try to think of something to say but Kyoko already figured him out. "Your face says it all…I didn't know you were such a pervert Tsuna…"
"I…I didn't mean too! I mean…I didn't see anything at all! B-but why were you bathing in the ocean anyway?"
"Because I was all sweaty! And I didn't think it would be too much of a problem anyway! I also thought it would be fun to go for a swim in the ocean…Hmph…well…you act like you've never seen a girl…n-naked…"
"I haven't…" Tsuna said but truth be told his imagination had imagined Kyoko but his imagination was nothing compared to the real thing.
"Oh…I would assume you have been with other girls…and…"
"Me? Be with other girls? I never had a girlfriend…the only girl I would ever want to date is yo-" Tsuna stopped himself from finishing that sentence. No way was he going to confess like that. But he did ask what made Kyoko think he was someone who dated a lot. Which made Kyoko confess that she always assumed he was because of how cool he was. Despite his amazing talent of being terrible at school, he was so kind and some girls in their class admired that about him.
"Oh…I never knew you or any other girl thought that way about me…"
"Well why not…? You're an extremely cool guy…even Haru thinks so…you have quite a few girls who…dream of being with you…"
"Oh…? Like who…?" Tsuna asked Kyoko and he was welcomed by the lusciousness of her pink lips that trembled a little bit. They looked like they wanted to say something but instead said, "Oh…umm…I don't remember but umm…you should take a bath too Tsuna…when you get the chance! Don't want to be unclean…"
"Oh…I see….and yeah I suppose so…just don't peek on me when I do."
"Hmm? That's not fair! You surely got a very good look at me…" She said pouting.
"H-hey! I didn't see anything!"
"Oh suuuure you didn't see anything. That's why your face is as red as a tomato right now right Tsuna?" Kyoko teased Tsuna. He was partially seeing Kyoko's evil side to her as she teased him. "You are a terrible liar," She said with a smirk.
"Don't call me a liar Kyoko!" Tsuna said and then Kyoko did something surprisingly. She practically was whispering in his ear and the warmth of her words tickled his ears.
"Well…you are a liar…you should be more honest with your feelings…I don't mind you telling me the truth. Did you like what you saw?" She asked with a wink which made Tsuna look away from her and that made Kyoko giggle.
Tsuna didn't want to admit that he didn't just likewhat he saw. He lovedexactly what he saw. "Stop teasing me Kyoko…I'm not like that. Besides…you don't need me to tell you that you looked divine…like a mermaid in the sea…a beautiful miracle…" Tsuna went on saying without even realizing exactly whathe was saying. However, he got some sort of revenge for Kyoko's teasing as her face was now completely red and she was looking away.
"Y-you're too honest Tsuna! A-and I knew you saw me! Your body kind of gave that away…" Kyoko said which turned the tables back on Tsuna. Their minds both began running with thoughts that felt like steam would come out of their ears from them. At the same time the both wished the other goodnight and turned their bodies away from the other loudly before they both got quiet. They both knew it was going to be hard to sleep with all the thoughts running through their heads so rapidly but they had no choice. It was getting late and they were both sore and tired.
Tsuna didn't know what he was going to do. He was no longer worried about surviving without food, water, or anyway home. He was more worried that he is going to have to spend his time on a seemingly deserted island with the girl he loved! Who as he discovered, he is beginning to learn more and more about. And for Kyoko, she is beginning to think that this island…could be the place for her to do that. A place for her to grow closer to Tsuna. And they both could be their true selves with someone who would accept them for who they are as their hands and fingers were still interlocked. Kyoko felt glad that if she had to choose to be stranded on an island with anybody, it would without a doubt be Tsuna and for him it could be none other than Kyoko...on this dreamy island.
