The ship gleamed against the sun's rays. It rocked back and forth above the ocean's sharp waves and Kagome gripped the edge of the rail with a shakey hand. 'I have no idea why I decided to come with them.' she though as she looked around. She couldn't see her parents anywhere. She stepped back and tried not to look into the deep blue that surrounded her every glance. She swatted the hair out of her eyes and tried to get to the main dock.

"KAGOME!" she heard someone scream. Kagome glanced around, trying to find the source of the voice. Nearby, she heard a couple using spanish and she knew that they hadn't called her name. Still searching, and not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into a man that was holding a large package.

"What the..." the man started to say as he tried to hold onto the package.

"Oh my god!" Kagome said, embarassed. "Here, let me help you..." she said.

"No, don't bother." he told her as he slid the box around. Kagome now had a clear view of his face. His eyes were narrowed, but she could still see the specks of hazel in them. His hair was jet black and was pinned up. She blushed as the man's muscles buldged as he tried to hold onto the box. She thought he must have been at least 25. "Next time, watch where your going!" the man muttered as he walked away.

"Kagome! There you are! We have been looking for you everywhere!" her mother cried as she ran up to her. She wrapped her arms around her and Kagome groaned. "Mother, please. Not in public."

Her mom smiled and hugged her tighter. "Your father and I have been having a glorious time! We've played all the on-deck games and we bet in the casino lounge!" her mom gushed.

"Great, mom." Kagome said as she pryed herself away from her mothers hold. "Well, I think I'll go back to our cabin." she said as she began to walk towards the stairwell.

"Already?" her mother asked her.

"Yeah, I don't think the rocking of the ship is benefiting me." she said with a half-hearted laugh.

Her mother watched her with concerned eyes. "Well, if it'll help you feel better...Your father and I will bring back

some food from the buffet."

"Ok, thanks mom." Kagome yelled as she ran down the stairs. The boat swayed hard to the right, and Kagome slammed into the stairwell wall. "Owwwww..." she cried as she gripped her elbow. "Stupid ship, stupid vacation...why couldn't I've just stayed at Hojo's house over the week?" she said aloud. Kagome wandered around the hall, searching for her room. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found it and unlocked it quickly. She dashed into the room and threw herself on a nearby bed. "I wonder if Hojo misses me..." she thought to herself. Kagome pulled a pillow under her head and dozed off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------

"Auuuuhhhhh" Kagome yawned as she stretched out her arms. She just noticed that the boat was swaying violently back and forth. "What in the..." Kagome jumped off the bed and grasped onto the dresser nearby. "What is going on?" she yelled. She made her way slowly through the room, but when she made it to the door the boat rocked hard to the right. "Owwww uh..." she mumbled as she rubbed her head. 'Stupid boats...water...ugh..' She flung open the door and raced down the darkened hall, wondering where her parents were. She saw that the nearest stairwell was blocked with a bunch of random objects. "GREAT" she said loudly. She ran in the opposite direction, heading for the other stairwell. The lights flickered on and off. 'This feels somewhat related to the whole Titanic incident.' The boat sloshed hard to the left and Kagome hit the wall. She sat on the floor, stunned.

She heard frantic footsteps. "HELP!" she yelled. "SOMEONE! PLEASE, I...can't...I can't get up!" she moaned as she tried to get on her feet. The footsteps stopped in front of her and she saw the man that she had bumped into earlier. "Please, help me." she mumbled, her vision becoming blurry.

"Stupid women, can never take care of themselves. Always depending on someone else." he shook his head.

Kagome held out her arms to him, and he sighed and picked her up. She laid her head against his shoulder as she began to feel light headed. The last thing she remembered thinking was how incredibly gorgeous this man was, and then she nodded off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome was aware of two things. A blinding light and something pinching her rear. "Uhhhhhhhh un?" she groaned as she slowly sat up, her head pounding with pain. Her eyes felt heavy and she could barely open them. Then, she started to shake and she couldnt stop. She felt hands and realized someone was shaking her. "Whuuu...what" she whispered. But they still continued to shake her. "...WHAT?" she screamed.

"Finally, you're awake." a voice said She realized it was the gorgeous man.

"Yes...thanks to the continuous shaking!" she grumbled.

"I'm sorry, maybe I should've just let you slept...though I don't think it would've taken long until that crab decided to crawl up your pants."

"What?" Kagome jumped up and saw that a crab had clasped itself onto her pant leg. She slapped it off and took a look around. It took a few seconds for it to dawn on her. "Uhm...we're not on the boat." she stated.

"Nooooo, what would give you that idea. The boat sunk."

"The boat, it..." she swallowed. "It...sunk? How, why?" she asked him.

"How, in god's name, am I supposed to know?"

"Well, I guess you wouldn't...but do you have any clue as to where we are?"

"Not exactly, no. But I'd have to say an uncharted island...in the middle of the pacific ocean."

"When you say uncharted..."

"Unknown, not marked on a map." he said.

"And that means what?"

"It means, Miss, that no one knows where this island is. So, if they have no record of an island located here, in this exact spot, then they probably won't send out search teams to look in this area."

"So..."

"We're alone out here, just you and me."

Me- So, what did ya'll think? huh?
