"So… so cold…"
She grumbled out softly, roughness spilling into her mouth. Everything was almost not happening- senses dulled to a deep numb, body rigid, arms lightly shuddering.
Her skin, glowing softly in the faint crescent moon light, was deathly white- starch white, whiter than sun bleached bone. Her body, long and thin, was loosely clad in a long, ragged black t-shirt that touched her knees. Where the shirt rode up on her figure, it was evident she wore short white cotton shorts. They were wet, and beneath the soft flesh of her back side was almost indecently exposed.
Slowly but surely, her cold and wet body came back to life. Her soft lavender eyes were streaked with red and throbbed incredibly, but nonetheless she could distinguish the sandy ground in the moonlight. Her limbs slowly twitched to life, and she pulled her head off the moist sand with mild protest of frozen muscles.
She spat out the sand collected in her mouth, the pungent overbearing taste of ocean water lessening in severity. She coughed a bit, bringing up some more ocean water than burned as it came up.
She pulled her torso up and shivered, sitting uncomfortably. She was weighed down by her damp clothing, and certainly shivering horribly. The night air itself wasn't that cold, but the water was treacherously freezing.
She looked around to make sure no one was around, and then stripped herself of her clothes. She wasn't wearing any underwear, which she found out pretty quickly. Her underdeveloped chest, as flat as any boy's, wasn't anything to be embarrassed about- she was a very late bloomer, with no real curves, and could have easily walked around without a top.
The shorts were a problem. Even if the were see through, she had no desire to bare her bottom. She couldn't remember the reason, just a simple notion.
She reluctantly took off them, blushing wildly, her eyes fixed upward. In the faint moonlight, anyone could see her fully… nude. Just the thought made the innocent girl red from her cheeks to her ears. Her body bathed in the light, and warmed by the soft and warm night breeze, and if anyone had looked to the beach it would seem as if a ghost stood towards the sea.
She looked around, confused. She was on a beach yes, and a beach stretched out towards the deep blue. The ocean, she thought. To the opposite direct there was a small hill upon which a parking lot overlooked the beach and stairs went down to the beach. There also were two small concrete buildings with a white person set against a blue sign. Her mind put it together for her- bathrooms.
Nothing was even mildly familiar.
She had never been here, she was almost certain of it.
"…Where am I?"
She paused, her mind trying to work. The cold had stopped seeping into her body, and her thoughts finally drifted from just how cold she was to the question of the day.
"Who… am I?" She took another moment, trying to force memories. A deep wave of nostalgia, of memories just out of reach hit her hard. Something with an H, her name… "Why am I here? Who am I? Why… can't I remember… anything?"
Her pale fingers swept through her short hair. Curiously, she pulled a strand to the front of her face. It was a deep navy blue. "I didn't even know what color my hair was."
She paused, taking in deep breaths. She was cold, lonely, and confused. Her body ached, throat burned of salt, and sand entwined with her hair. She was miserable, wishing to go home- but she did not know what her home was. She did not know what her name was. Hell, she wasn't sure of her age.
Tears flowed down her cheeks- she could barely feel them, and barely was aware of their prescience. She was so scared, alone and cold. She had no where to go…unless…
Her head whipped to the side, taking in the rocky cliff that surrounded the beach. Her instinct was to check for a big pipe or miniature cave in the side. She couldn't stay in the bathroom- a voice in the back of her head told her that it was probably locked. This voice was her own, and yet it knew more than she did.
Grabbing the dripping wet clothes, she walked over to the side of the small cliff. It was riddled with indents and large rocks, like a maze. Her eyes, adjusted to the scarce light, scoured along the side looking for somewhere to rest. She kept walking down, soon losing sight of the part of beach she woke up on. She could hear cars driving above her, but she kept walking. No one needed to see her in such a state.
Perhaps thirty minutes of walking later, she had walked towards a cave. It was small, perhaps a foot taller than her, dark, and it gave her the creeps. To her right was a sign that said not to enter, that it was an unstable natural structure off limits. Yellow caution tape zigzagged about the front, nailed into the soft rock that held the cave itself.
She did not notice the warning sign, nor could she read the caution on the tape, as it was too dark. Cautiously, she stepped towards the small cave, feeling a bit cautious. She kneeled down and tried to see into, but it was far too dark. She tossed her shirt, and listened. It hit something hard, making a wet noise. No other noises followed.
"Ano…" Softly, she stepped over the caution tape. She could not remember any irrational fears, and therefore stepped into the darkness easily. The ground was sandy, but she took care to step lightly. Just in case.
She walked three or four more feet, then lightly scraped her head against the top. "Ouchhhh…" She drawled on, her head throbbing angrily. She turned around, and saw the entrance- soft grey sand and midnight blue waves. "So… beautiful."
Exhaustion overcame her, so she placed her pants to her side, and slowly lowered herself down. The sand was surprisingly silky and she laid down contented. As sleep crept up on her, a sudden wave of nostalgia hit her.

As she loosened up and fell into slumber, one last phrase passed her lips. "My name is… Hinata."
