This is my first Hitsumatsufanfic so please, be gentle.

Island Disaster!

Swim, Taichou, Swim!

"Taichou, taichou, taichou!" Matsumoto's frantic voice reached his ears. Slowly and groggily, he opened his eyes to come face to face with Matsumoto's worried ones. "Taichou, are you alright?"

"Urusei, what happened?" he managed to grunt. But just as he tried to stand, unbearable soreness spread through his system urging him to plop down to his sitting position. He found out that he's been leaning on a tree the whole time. His black polo shirt is open leaving his upper body bare. He soon found the reason to this when he saw a pink scarf tied to his shoulder wound, preventing blood from escaping.

"Matsumoto, what happened?" he repeated.

"Taichou, you got lost in the woods and was attacked by a tiger. It was a good thing I saw you before you were eaten" Matsumoto replied in an exaggerated tone.

Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing her whole story.

'Drat, he knows I'm lying!' Matsumoto mentally cursed. "Okay, I got lost and was attacked by a tiger. You were the one who rescued me" there is no need to tell him about the fact that she panicked and almost cried when he collapsed. There is no need to tell him about the fact that she had a hard time trying to prevent herself from groping his bare chest when she tried to bandage his wound.

"I knew it! Matsumoto, you were too careless! Another stunt like that and—" his sentence was cut short as he grunted again because his shoulder ached once more, sending electrifying pain across his system. 'Damn! If I had reiatsu, this wound would be nothing less than a scratch!'

"Taichou, you shouldn't move too much. You're too careless" Matsumoto teasingly scolded her captain.

"U-u-urusei!" the boy blushed at his vice captain's accusation. "Anyway, we have to find a way to get out of this island" he stood up with much difficulty.

"I have an idea. I saw in a movie once that when people get stuck on an island, they build these things called rafts from nothing but wood. Then, they float away to the ocean until they find dry land!" she exclaimed happily jumping from her crouched position.

Hitsugaya sighed "Alright, we'll build a raft"


"Matsumoto, I little help would really be appreciated!" Hitsugaya yelled to his vice captain some distance away. It is now day two of their little 'vacation' and Hitsugaya is currently building a raft that would take them out to a dry, inhabited, island.

"C'mon taichou, do you really insist that beauty like me build a raft that would dirt up my outfit" she gestured to her tight pink shirt and white pants.

Hitsugaya growled. He hated it when she uses the old 'I'm a lady' excuse on him. He grunted again as his shoulder expressed its disapproval of the raft-project. Unfortunately, desperate times call for desperate measures and right now, he EXTREMELY desperate.

Several minutes later and the boy captain started working up a sweat. In line with this, he took off his black polo and proceeded in building the raft.

Matsumoto whistled in the background. "Wow taichou, I never knew you were so sexy" she teased although it is true. In his maturing years, Hitsugaya has grown some pretty impressive muscles of his own and she can't help but comment on this.

"Urusei!" Histugaya blushed and returned to his job of tying the last knot on the boat. After that was done, the boy gave out a satisfied sigh. He stood up to look at his handy work. It's not big but it should be more than enough to accommodate him and his companion's big assets.

"Wow, Hitsugaya taichou, you really did well in building our raft though…" Matsumoto smirked at her captain "…its kinda messy isn't it"

"What?" Hitsugaya looked at Matsumoto with a perplexed expression. The girl simply pointed at him. He soon found the meaning behind her last statement when he looked down on his body. It's covered with sweat, sand, soil, bits of wood pieces and some dried leaves. He growled in annoyance as he dusted himself off but to no avail as the dirt insisted on clinging to his sweat covered body.

"C'mon taichou, its not that bad" Matsumoto smirked again.

"How many times do I have to tell you to shut up?! Let's just get this thing on the ocean and find a dry land"

Matsumoto nodded at this as they pushed the raft to the sea. It floated to a distance.

"Okay, let's go" with that, Hitsugaya walked to the floating raft, the shallow water not bothering him at all.

"Taichou wait!" Matsumoto suddenly yelled.

Hitsugaya stopped in his tracks and glared at Matsumoto "What?"

"My pants will get wet…" she whined.

"So?"

"What do you mean so? Taichou, I can't have my clothes being soaked. Its okay for you, you're a guy, I'm a girl, I hate wearing wet garments!"

"What do you want me to do?"

Silence fell on them. Then…

"Carry me"

Hitsugaya was about to retort but he noticed that the raft is already drifting away. With a growl, he went to Matsumoto and lifted her, bridal style. By the time they reached the raft, the water was already on Hitsugaya's waist.

"Arigatou, taichou" Matsumoto chirped as she climbed aboard the raft, followed shortly by her captain.

Hitsugaya growled again as he looked down on his jeans. Its soaking wet up to the waist. The lower parts of his abdomen are also soaking wet. It was a good thing that his shoulder isn't sore anymore but that might change sooner or later.

"What now?" Hitsugaya asked, crossing his arms over his chest while removing his jeans leaving him in his shorts.

"We….drift?" Matsumoto replied, unsure of her answer.

"We can't just drift. We need some sort of mechanism to bring us to solid land"

"Hmm…" Matsumoto put her index finger on her chin in deep thought. Then, she got an idea "Taichou, do you still have some rope?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"I have a plan" she smiled sadistically at her captain. Needless to say, it made Hitsugaya nervous.


"The things I do for you" Hitsugaya grunted as he swam into the open ocean, the raft carrying Matsumoto is tied to his waist.

"C'mon taichou, put some pump into it, we're not going fast enough"

"URUSEI!!!" he yelled back. He was about to throw an insult but decided against it, he needs to conserve his energy for this hellish trip.
