"Kai!"
My aqua eyes gazed at the sea, and the sound of the waves crashing against the moist sands filled my ears. I turned the familiar voice that seemed to follow me wherever I went, and gazed at my young friend Ume. She has been my only friend since I can remember. I smiled at her, the curly black-haired girl two years my junior. She stood on the pier in her dark denim blue jeans and white tank top, her brown eyes bright and beaming.
I walked to her through the sand with my bare feet; unaware that the hot grains were sticking in-between my toes. Her brown eyes were lit with happiness, and it was not a very rare sight, as she was always happy about something. It was strange seeing someone always so joyous. In fact, it was the direct contraction of what I was. It seemed more often then not I'm often off in my own world; always a dreamer.
"Have you heard about Nanashi?" Her voice held her excitement as I walked towards her. Of course, I knew nothing of what she spoke of, but it was evident that it was good news. As usual, I didn't show my own excitement. Nanashi was much like myself; cold and distant. I pondered on what could have happened to the black haired male that was so great.
My feet stopped me when I made it close enough to hear Ume without her having to scream. I was standing a few feet from the pier, looking up at Ume on the edge. She was smiling happily, and the dawn was behind her. The sunsets on the island were beautiful. The ocean reflected the sun and sky's brilliant oranges and the white of the few puffy clouds that lingered.
"Nope, can't say I have." My voice was as it normally was; slow speaking but to the point. I watched as she reached for my dark blue short sleeve shirt, and she began to pull me with her past the pier.
"Well, you're going to find out!"
She continued to tug on my shirt, and eventually pulled me along with her. It was more than obvious that she was taking me to meet up with Nanashi. I sighed as I walked along the sands again; doing my best to walk along with the running girl pulling me. I could easily have pulled myself out of her grasp, but I was still curious as to what was so wonderful with Nanashi. I was hoping Ume wasn't exaggerating, as she usually did.
"Really," I paused for a moment, finally making her let go by planting my feet in the sand. "Why don't you tell me first?" She turned around and gazed at me while smiling.
"Because, it's a surprise!"
I was beginning to think that Ume was planning something. She was normally bubbly, but this was just too eccentric; even for her. I sighed as she now reached for my wrist. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to go with her, but her pull on me made up my mind for me. This time, there wasn't an easy way out of her grip. I was slowly pulled across the sands; as to where I was going, I had no idea.
"Why don't you go bother Makaio?" I asked, once again, in my normal voice. I was now running with her.
"Because, Kai, Nanashi asked me to get you." She said, sounding extremely happy about the situation.
I said nothing else, as our running had come to an end. Nanashi was fighting with his younger brother Makaio on the white sands near the coconut trees.
Makaio is one year younger than his brother. He has always had the strangest layered bluish-black hair that graced his shoulders. His eyes are a pure crystal blue, unlike his brother. If anyone didn't know any better, they would probably say that they weren't related.
At the moment, Nanashi had his younger brother pinned to the coconut tree that was on my right. It wasn't an odd sight, but it almost made you wish that they would fight with something else besides wooden swords. Makaio couldn't move, because her brother's sword was to his neck. He could squirm, scream, fight back, and kick but he wasn't gonna get out of that spot he was in.
"Nanashi, what's so important that you couldn't come and find me?"
As if he hadn't noticed I was there before, Nanashi looked up from the screaming heap that was his brother.
