*singing* EENJOOOOOY!

Summery: Kanda was a survivor of a sinking ship and had found himself at a small island known to none. Then he had found a fallen angel there.

"Fast! Pull up the sails, we're sinking."

"The mast broke!"

"Someone take the women and the children to the escape boats, hurry!"

A young dark-haired boy, Yu Kanda was being pulled by a firm grip of his father, Hiroshi Kanda. The father picked him up and placed him in the boat gently.

He turned but was stopped by Yu clutching his shirt, "Where are you going, oto-sama?"

The ship rocked to the side, risking the boat to fall back onto the ship; people were screaming and Hiroshi yanked the hand off and pushed him to the boat, "Stay here, I'll come back don't you worry." He turned and ran back to the shore, tears in his eyes.

'I'm sorry, Yu.'

"Get the boat down!" yelled one of the sailors.

"Oto-sama! OTO-SAMA!" the poor kid cried. "Don't leave me, come back!"

One of the women hugged and patted his head, "It'll be fine, dear. Don't make his job harder then it's."

Slowly the struggles calmed and the boy went limp, eyes dead. The lady wanted to cry, but she held it in and just hugged him tighter as the boat was lowered to the gushing sea and was trailing further and further from the ship, going up and down from the waves.

~.~.~.~

The days went and passed, and the sea had finally calmed down. There was no food and no water left, everyone was freezing and two babies had already died and dumped into the sea after a quick prayer.

The lady and the dark-haired boy stayed in the middle of the boat, hugging each other, the lady humming and Yu sleeping in her embrace.

~.~.~.~

Slowly, more days passed and more from the women and the children died; until only Yu and the lady were left in the boat.

"Yu?" her voice was hoarse from the salty water and from the dehydration. The boy looked up and she forced a smile on her tired face.

"D-don't give up, dear. You'll find happiness someday."

"I won't," determination filled his eyes that were dead up until now. "Oto-sama needs to fulfill his promise to me."

She smiled sadly and hugged him tighter until she felt her strength leaving and breathed deeply one last breath.

"You're a good boy," she closed her eyes for good.

"Oba-sama?" the boy shook her. "Oba-sama!" he realized she stopped breathing and chocked on his tears. He has pride, and he won't break down. He was a bright boy, not only it won't do any good to him, it'll exhaust the water resources he still had in his body.

Instead he pushed the lady off of him and prayed a quick prayer before rolling her off the boat and into the sea.

'I won't give up, oto-sama, oba-sama.'

The days went by; rain and the cold helped him stay alive. But the boy passed out in the boat from starvation and lack of enough source of water.

When he opened his eyes, to his surprise, he'd found himself looking at a giant bird souring the night skies.

The bird was pure white and glowed in the moon light. Yu tried to get up, only to find out that the boat stopped. He rolled to the side of the boat and reached out and touched wet sand.

'Land!' he suddenly felt power wash him and he jumped off the boat and rushed into forest of trees, although his body was protesting after days of not moving and not eating.

His eyes widen up at the sight of several fruits lying on the side of one of the trees and picked them up, devouring them hungrily.

He'd finished a great deal of them when he'd heard a growl near him and he jumped as he saw a wolf nearing him.

"EEP!" he turned and climbed on the tree next to him. He looked down to see what the wolf do. But fortunately for him, the wolf looked up in disappointment before turning and running deeper into the forest.

The boy sighed in relief before the branch under him snapped and he fell with a scream.

"Ouch!" he winched as he got up; luckily, he just had some scratches and bruises.

He shakily stood up, all adrenaline leaving him; leaving him tired and empty.

Thud! The boy fell back onto the grass around the tree and fell unconscious.

_._._._

Somehow, he managed to sleep there the whole night without an animal trying to eat him. He had found a lake deeper into the forest and drank until he was exploding, then he jumped into the lake and swam happily. He washed his dark hair and discovered a hard stone that had broken parts that looked like a brush, so he happily brushed his hair as well. When he finished, he went out, fresh and started to look for more food.

He'd found some fruits and a recently dead and half eaten fox. The boy searched for wood and gathered them before falling down with a huff and pondered, 'How am I going to make fire? I don't have any matches.'
He then remembered his father sticking a box of matches and a lighter in his clothes just before the storm came. he wiped the tears threatening to fall and ran to the boat.

He rushed to the boat and to his luck, he'd found the box of matches and the lighter. He jumped in glee and rushed to his place only to find that the corpse of the fox had disappeared and the branches scattered everywhere.

The boy fumed, "Who did this?!" he screamed.

Silence…

The kid felt tears trailing down his eyes and he curled into a ball in the middle of the clearing and cried.
'I'm scared, I'm tired. I'm sorry, oto-sama, oba-sama. I don't want to be here, where is everyone? Am I really the only one left? Oto-sama…'

A tree next to him rustled and he looked up, his eyes puffy and red. Suddenly branches broke and something fell from the top of the trees to the floor.

The boy had immediately recognized the thing; it was the bird he saw the other night. He hesitantly stood up and approached the huge white bird.
When he got near enough, he saw that the bird had slashes on his side, heavily bleeding; one of his wings bend in an awkward way and drenched in dry blood.

The kid stared in horror at the scene before him, how could anybody hurt something so beautiful and pure? He shook his thoughts out and rushed to the boat.

In the boat he had found some blankets and a first-aid kit that half-survived the storm. He loaded them on his back and rushed back to the bird. He then took the thickest and hardest branch he had found and mumbled a small warning before snapping back the bone, thanking his father for showing him once how to do it on an injured bird he'd found; the bird let out a heart breaking wail and fell limp, flinching here and there.

Yu hardened himself like his father would do when he had to treat someone from the battle and his face turned stoic. He held the sore wing again and warped the one of the blankets around it; took one rope from the boat and the branch together and tied tightly the rope, holding the wing in his place.
He then proceeded to the slashes, not showing anything on his face while he cleaned them roughly, eliciting painful moans and wails from the bird.

"I'm finishing, don't worry," he couldn't help but try to comfort the bird. He got a coo and a nudge to his leg in response.
He took another blanket and ripped it to stripes; he tied them together and used them as bandages.
He then took the last three blankets that were still a bit wet from the storm and spread on the grass. He gathered the branches again and took out the matches.
The bird cooed and he turned to him. Endless seas of storm-gray eyes stared at him; the bird had a strange scar over his left eye. The eyes sparkled and he for some reason understood that he wanted to do something and stepped back.
The bird raised his head and blew on the branches; immediately the branches were set on fire.

Yu stared in awe at them, not believing what he was seeing; he turned to the bird, whose eyes sparkled in amusement.
"Thank you," he bowed to him before smacking himself for bowing in front of a bird.

He waited a bit and took the driest blanket and pulled it over the bird, he then looked in question at him.
The bird's eyes soften and he raised his healthy wing and let the dark-haired boy snuggled into his warm stomach.
The bird cooed as in singing for him and he felt sleep creeping unto him until he just surrounded to it and fell asleep.

_._._._

Yu opened his eyes and stared straight into a male chest; he yelped and backed back, snatching himself from arms that surrounded him.
"W-who are you?!" he screamed, grabbing a long branch, glaring at the being before him before dropping the branch in shock.

A boy around his age rose from his place on the grass; he rubbed his eyes and looked at the boy, blinked and then smiled brightly, the sunlight falling at him.
Yu rubbed his eyes as well, but not from sleep; the boy had a striking resemblance to the bird he'd found yesterday. The boy had white shoulder-length hair and pale-complexion; his eyes were the same storm-gray with the red scar over his left eye. Huge white wings, one warped with a rope and held by the branch, sprouted from his back and he was naked. The sunlight didn't help. In fact, it has just made it worse.

He felt his face fire up in embarrassment. He rushed to the now-dry blankets and dumped it on the winged-boy.
"Put something on you!" he covered his red face.
The white-haired boy tilted his face, still smiling, and took the blanket and threw it away. Instead, he snuck to Yu and hugged him.
"HA!"
"GAH!"
Yu continued struggling until he felt the boy stiffen and a wet feeling grew next to his hip; he glanced down and almost puked.

He'd completely forgotten about his injuries on his side; the slashes dripped and he saw the home-made bandages in a pool where they'd slept before. He realized that when the bird turned to the boy, the bandages fell and when he jumped, the injuries opened up.

He sighed and then scowled at them. The white-haired winged boy whimpered as Yu took the ropes and ripped them again as to use the clean parts as bandages.
"There… it'll be fine." The boy looked up with teary eyes and smiled sweetly at him.

Yu's face grew hoter again and he looked to the side, "Just put something on, will you?"
He only got a cute tilted head to the side in confusion. He scowled again and took the blanket and warped it around his waist, tying it up.

He then sat down and beckoned the boy to sit down as well; the boy jumped and glomped him. His face turned redder and he spluttered around as he shouted at him to sit down next to him, not on him.
Finally, the bird-boy seemed to understand and he sat down next to him, head on his lap.

"I'm Kanda Yu. What's your name, baka?" he tangled his fingers in his white hair, enjoying the feeling of feather-like.
The boy cooed. Yu raised an eyebrow, "You don't talk in human-language?"
The boy opened his grey eyes and stared into Yu's eyes.
Recognition flashed and the boy smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Kanda Yu." An unsure melodically childish voice whispered.
Yu's eyes widened up in awe, "You speak my language?"
"Y-yes."
"So what's your name?"
"Don't have one, but I guess you can call me Allen."
"So I'll call you Bean Sprout," Yu smirked, his feisty side returning.
Allen pouted, "Don't call me that, weirdo."
"Who're you calling you weirdo? Weirdo."
"Well… why else you'll be alone here? Don't you humans have your own home?"

Yu quieted down and stared down in a frown, turning away from the boy so he won't see the tears in his eyes, "Was washed here from a big ship. Haven't seen oto-sama since then."
He noticed Allen as he hugged him from behind and leaned back, relaxing. Big crystal like tears rolled down his face as he turned and sobbed quietly into the bandaged chest of the winged boy.

"There, there," Allen rubbed his back, smiling softly, his wings ruffling a bit. He glowed a bit and Yu felt warmth wash him and his eyes dropped down in fatigue.
He looked up to the smiling angel like kid and fell asleep.

Allen wiped his tears and smiled, "No need to cry anymore, Yu."
Yu only smiled in his sleep.
Allen closed his eyes and fell asleep as well.

The boys slept in an embrace in the protecting clearing, on an island, far away from civilization, outside of any map ever being created.

But none of the boys cared about that.

The roads of my heart aren't on any map, because love cannot just be found like that…

End.
