So, last chapter was the prologue of the story. Pretty tragic, huh?
Now.. their adventure begins.

The Island
Part 1
.
.
.
His vision was blurry.
.
.
.
Everything seemed to be in slow motion..
.
.
.
He could somehow feel his slow but steady heartbeat.
.
.
.
He knew he was already inside the sea water. He forced his lungs to hold the oxygens from running away from his body. His eyes were stinging, as it reacted with the salty sea water. His head hurt so bad, but the pain was starting to subdue.
.
.
.
He felt numb. The impact was so great that he barely felt his body parts.
.
.
.
But most importantly,
He was alive.
.
.
He was holding his breath, yes, and tried to open his seatbelt, but his hands felt weak from the impact.
.
.
They fell from what, 40.000 feet? 30.000 feet?
.
.
He saw his palms shaking underwater.
A tanned hand helped him snapped the seatbelt open, and he felt two strong arms carried him through the murky water.
.
.
Naruto helped him, huh?
Did the plane ripped apart again? The debris was all over the place, he could somehow see it even though his sight was blurry.
They swam together, passing the drowning debris of the plane. Slowly but steadily, he could feel his fingertips again. He grabbed Naruto's palm that was holding him tight. His ears was still ringing, unable to pick up sound clearly.
.
.
He felt a tug on his life vest, and it inflated right away. Did Naruto do that? He felt his body floating up towards the surface. Sasuke was still trying to focus on holding his breath. Finally, his senses was returning to him. He tried to move his feet slowly, and it moved just a little. He was starting to recognise the sound around him, Sasuke was definitely underwater.
.
.
A split moment before the plane crashed into the sea, both men tried to use their inner energy, known as the chakra, to suppress the impact of the crash. It worked after all. No one would survive that, but yet they did. Even though all his body parts felt numb.
Another thing that they did was to collect as much oxygens as they could, and kept it inside their lungs with their chakras.
It seemed that both men remembered the Sage's teaching very well.
It saved them.
.
.
Sasuke was trying to paddle his feet to reach the surface of the ocean, but the moonlight above them seemed very far away. The water felt cold, Sasuke felt frozen in the depths of the deep ocean.
C'mon..c'mon..
.
.
Could he make it?
.
.
How deep was the water?
.
.
Luckily the life vest helped them to float faster.
.
.
Sasuke saw bubbles forming from his nose and mouth. Shit, he couldn't hold his breath any longer. His nose sucked a bit of water, and he was choking now. No, don't drown!
His nose and throat burned as if it was filled with fire instead. His chest hurts so much. Calm down, Sasuke! He tried to reassure himself.
His skin could feel Naruto's body pressed closely to his as they ascended into the surface.
.
.
They finally made to the top.
.
.
Both men was coughing and panting after they broke the surface of the ocean. Sasuke coughed out all the water that was starting to fill his lungs. Good, all those liquid came out. Their hair was damp from the water. They held closely to each other as they twisted their heads to scan the area.
"S-Sasuke, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, you?"
"I guess so."
With the gloomy aura that was surrounding the two, Sasuke glanced around again, remembering the tragic accident that just occured.
"We..survived," Naruto said while biting his bottom lip.
Sasuke was panting as he nod to the blonde.
"Naruto.. Thank you."
"What for?"
Sasuke swallowed his pride. "For saving me. If you didn't open that seatbelt for me.. I.."
"Shh.." The blonde hushed him as he smiled. "No worries."
The Uchiha finally stared at the blue eyes that seemed to be dull at the moment. Of course, the incident was so traumatizing. Naruto and Sasuke was still shivering and trembling from what happened earlier. They were at the brink of death! Sasuke was glad that somehow, coincidently, both Naruto and himself were taught of chakra use by a wise old man. It seemed that Hagoromo, or some people called him the Sage of Six Paths, taught them the same thing. One of it was to shield their body with their chakra, in the case that if the person fell from above. He taught them how to conceal their breaths longer underwater as well.
Coincidence?
Sasuke wasn't sure.
Naruto found Sasuke's hand inside the water, and squeezed it gently, to reassure the raven that he wasn't alone.
But still.
The two men was floating on the surface of the ocean.
In the middle of nowhere.
Not to mention that they were also surrounded by some burning debris of the aircraft. They turned 360 degrees to scan the area, but still, they were stranded in the ocean. The moon was high above them, its light reflected on the surface of the barren sea.
"Fuck." Naruto slammed his fist into the water. "Where the fuck are we!?"
Sasuke was still panting for oxygen. "I-I don't know."
The raven coughed once more. It seemed that there were still some water in his lungs. Naruto patted his back as Sasuke was coughing out the salt water. Once all the water was out, Naruto traced his fingers to the back of Sasuke's head.
"Okay?" asked the blonde.
"Yeah." Sasuke managed to answer him. He didn't mind a little of touching right now, even if he used to despised it. They were both traumatised.
Sasuke looked at Naruto's features. His once spiky blonde hair was now damp and slicked back. There were..burn marks on the sides of his neck. The raven touched it slowly with his fingertips, and Naruto hissed in reaction to the touch.
"Ow!"
"Sorry," Sasuke apologized. "Does it hurt?"
"Y-Yeah. It kinda does," Naruto touched the wound slowly as he responded to the raven. The two was floating on the ocean surface thanks to the life vest.
Naruto held the whistle that was hanging on the vest. "Should we try to blow this thing?"
"And?"
"I don't know. Maybe someone will hear it?"
"Oh, who? The fishes? Or the seagulls, perhaps?"
"Aw, c'mon, Sasuke! You're so negative."
"Tch." Sasuke glared at the idiot while his thighs and legs were floating underwater. "Fine, blow it."
Naruto popped the whistle into his mouth and started blowing it.
The whistle echoed throughout the area.
And, no response.
Naruto buried his eyebrows together. He blew them one more time.
Nothing.
Sasuke sighed and let the blonde stop doing it.
"There. Naruto, we're literally alone."
Naruto grunted in response. "Fuck," he cursed again. The two were shifting their gears inside to figure something out.
The moon was shining up above them. Sasuke stared at it as he tried to paddle his feet underwater. It kinda help to ease his mind. He tried to scan the area one more time.
Far away, underneath the moonlight, Sasuke saw an island. It looked petite in their eyes, but it was still land.
"Look!" Sasuke pointed to the island. Naruto jerked his head to follow where Sasuke's finger was pointing to.
"Shit. That might be our only hope."
"Do you think we can swim there?"
"We have to. There's no other choice."
Sasuke nodded. Both of them paddled their legs and arms towards their only hope for living.
.
.
.
Now, Sasuke's legs were going back numb. The island seemed closer now, but it was still a tiring journey.
He was thirsty.
Naruto looked tired as well.
"Don't give up, Sasuke! Don't stop now!" the blonde was trying to encourage him. How sweet.
"Who says I'm giving up?" Even though he said that, Sasuke was panting as he tried to suck in more air to his body. The air itself was filled with salt, just like the content of the sea water.
"Heh," Naruto was panting as well. They were out of breath, but they were still forcing their legs to move underwater. They had to reach the island as soon as possible.
.
.
About ten minutes later, the two stubborn man stopped paddling to fill in air into their body. Sasuke could see that Naruto was competitive, much like himself. Their legs felt dead as well.
"F-Fuck," Naruto hissed. "W-We're not there y-yet."
"H-Heh," Sasuke forced a smirk, even if he felt exhausted. "Like you said, Mr dont-give-up, don't stop now."
They were definitely closer to the island now, way closer than before.
"Fuck you," Naruto managed to curse the raven. "Fine. Let's rest for a while."
"Okay."
Sasuke tried to see what was inside the water. It was way too dark for Sasuke to try to see anything.
"Do you think there are sharks beneath us?"
Naruto's complexion turned pale at that statement. Sasuke could see it under the moonlight.
"N-No way! Don't scare me, idiot!" Naruto splashed some water to Sasuke's face. The Uchiha scrunched his face in surprise, and decided to splash more water back to the blonde's face.
"Okay, okay, Sasuke! Stop!"
Sasuke splashed once more before chuckling softly to Naruto.
"Then don't ever do that to me again."
"Deal."
Silence filled the air as they went silent.
"Sasuke.. do you think they will find us?" Naruto muttered.
The raven didn't respond right away. He was feeling skeptical as well.
"I hope so."
They knew their chances were thin, and they were lucky to survive the crash.
"Okay," said Naruto in a soft mumble. He let his face lit up once more. "Alright! Let's move again."
Sasuke nodded, and both of them paddled their legs again to reach the shore.
.
.
.
After miles and miles of paddling their stiff, tired arms and legs, they made it to the island. It was still dark, all they could see was the shore, and what seemed like a jungle behind it.
Sasuke tried to drag his heavy body through the shore of the island. He took off his life vest and his suit. Ah, much better. The wind was blowing softly, it was quite cold once they were out of the water for so long.
They crawled on the sand once they reach the sandy beach. Oh God, his body needed to rest for days. Naruto and Sasuke pushed themselves to a part of the beach where the water didn't reach them, and slumped their bodies into the cold sand. They were exhausted.
"Clothes. Off." Sasuke tried to talk through his shaky breath.
Naruto nodded and took his life vest and jacket off. Sasuke tried to sit up to pull his shoes and socks off. They were soaking wet. He took off his dark blue tie in one single yank. The thing was suffocating him.
The Uchiha stared at the blonde that was sitting on his left. Naruto was stripping off his clothes and placed it next to him. He even took off his jeans. The man was wearing a green striped boxers that was hanging loosely on his body. He was still wearing his black 'I Love Ramen' T-shirt though.
"What?"
Sasuke blinked.
Fuck, he was staring at the blonde way too long.
"Aren't you cold?" He hoped the excuse was enough.
Naruto raised his eyebrows. "A bit. But these jeans are so wet! I have to take it off." The blonde wiped his hair back so it wouldn't cover his face. "Why don't you take off those pants too?"
Sasuke looked at his damp black trousers that he was wearing. It wasn't comfortable, no. Naruto was right.
"C'mon, Sasuke. Don't be embarrassed."
The Uchiha glared at the man. Fine. Maybe those would be dry by morning. Heck, he didn't even now what time was it now.
He opened his zipper and slid it down. He pushed it through his thigh and legs, and finally through his ankles. Once it was off, he placed it neatly next to him. Sasuke was wearing boxers as well. It was dark blue in colour. His white, long sleeved, collared shirt was damp, and it was transparent by now.
Naruto was already asleep next to him. They were exhausted, after all.
Sasuke let his body fall on his back and stared at the stars above them.
"Itachi.. Find me.." he murmered it under his shaky breath.
And with that, he drifted into a deep sleep.
.
.
None of them tried to observe the thick and dense forrest behind them. But tomorrow, they would have way more time to do that.
.
.
.
Sasuke woke up to the feeling of being pierced in the eye by the strong sunlight above them. Ouch. His whole body was aching, his muscles were sore. He grunted as he tried to close his eyes to sleep again.
Nope, he couldn't.
The sand beneath him was starting to boil. Sasuke opened his eyelids in protest.
He sat upright to observe his surroundings. Again, his mind was a little hazy at the moment.
His clothes were safely next to him, and it seemed to be drying. The clothes that he was wearing right now was dry as well, with some hints of sand covering it. He stared at his pale body that was starting to burn into a reddish complexion. The raven's body was covered in sand as well. There were some scratch marks all over his body. Some of it hurt, just a little bit. Sasuke stared at the horizon, across the ocean, and found no traces of any debris of the plane.
How the hell were the people going to find them?
He placed his hand next to him to wake up the blonde, but Naruto wasn't next to him, even if his clothes was.
He slapped his forehead for letting himself sleep that much. Where was Naruto? Did something happened to him? Or did he take a walk to somewhere?
Sasuke tried to stand up, his legs and thighs were shaking from his long swim last night. Okay, he managed to stand on both of his feet. He tried to brush away the sand that covered his body. He was going to search for Naruto.
"Sasuke!"
He jerked his head to the source of the voice. He was never more thankful of seeing another human being. The man was wearing the same outfit last night when he fell asleep.
"Where have you been?" He asked Naruto.
"I scanned the island's beach. It took me quite a while to walk back to this point. Maybe, 40 minutes?" Naruto looked up to the sky. "The sun wasn't this high when I first walk around the island."
Sasuke nodded to the statement. "Did you find anything else?"
The blonde shook his head.
"No. I haven't check the jungle."
The two turned their heads to the large vegetation behind them.
It looked pretty mysterious to Sasuke. Who would know what was inside it?! The Uchiha tried to observe it from the distance.
"Naruto," the blonde reacted to the voice. "These kind of vegetation.. Seemed tropical."
"So?"
"If we were in North Pacific, things were not supposed to be tropical."
Naruto stared at him with wide eyes.
"Then how the hell did we drift all the way to a tropical getaway!?"
Sasuke shook his head and pressed his palm into his forehead. Yes, it didn't make sense. But there was no other explanation.
"I'm not sure."
"Maybe we're in Hawaii?"
"Who knows?" his eyes shifted to the horizon. There were no other islands on sight. "This island seemed to be the only one around here."
"Oh, shit. Fucking shit." Naruto muttered as he cursed.
Sasuke was just as frustrated as the blonde. "Yeah, fucking shit indeed."
Naruto pressed his palm to his forehead, as he seemed..confused. He looked a bit edgy as well. The blonde closed his eyes and clenched his fist.
"Sasuke.. I.. We couldn't save those other people.."
Sasuke went silent as well. He nodded to the blonde and looked to his feet.
"We could've done something." Naruto looked gloomy.
"It's..inevitable for them. I'm sure we're just lucky."
Both of them felt guilty, but Sasuke tried to assure Naruto that nothing could be done. Somehow, Sasuke didn't like how the blonde was sulking. He wanted him to be cheerful.
"Naruto. It's alright."
"...Okay."
The Uchiha observed Naruto. He looked tired, eyebags were visible. Sasuke took a peek to his neckline, but heck, the burn marks were starting to dissapear.
"Your wound is starting to heal."
Naruto touched his neckline to make sure of it.
"Wow, yeah you're right. It didn't hurt as much as yesterday."
"You're a fast healer."
"I know, right!?" he grinned in victory. Good. His mood was back up. Even if this version of Naruto was annoying, he still prefer him talking instead of sulking.
Sasuke rolled his eyes to the blonde. Damn, it was starting to get hot. Where were they right now? Sasuke opened the first two buttons on his shirt. He rolled the sleeves until it reached his elbows.
They were tired and dehydrated. Water and food should be their top priority.
"We need to find clear water, like right now."
"I know that, teme. I was waiting for your princess ass to wake up from your slumber."
"Shut it, usuratonkachi." Sasuke glared to the blonde.
"Tch. Fine." Naruto pouted for a while, but then he continued talking. "We need to get along, y'know."
The Uchiha went silent for a moment. They were literally alone. He guessed the idiot was right. Chances of survival would be higher if people get together as a group. But at this point, the only other survivor was the usuratonkachi. A better chance of survival would be there if both parties were in good terms. Well, he didn't have much choice now.
"Hn. Okay." He admitted it with a sigh.
Naruto grinned to him. "That's more like it."
"Tch."
"Say, Sasuke. Do you have any items in your pockets?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke's hands instinctively reached out for his pockets, but he realised he was still in his boxers. As his cheeks grew a little pink, he walked to where his pants were laying down and searched the pockets.
Nothing was inside. Not even his damn phone. He usually slipped it in his pocket, but it could've fell during the crash.
No.. Itachi.. How was he going to handle the news? He shut his eyes for a split moment, and turned to the blonde.
He shook his head to Naruto in regret, and the other man groaned in frustration. Oh no.. it couldn't be..
"Oi, dobe. Are you telling me that all we have now, are our clothes?"
Naruto pressed his palm into his face. After sucking in some air, he looked straight into the raven's eyes.
"Yes."
.
.
Oh, they were sooo doomed.
Stranded without anything or anyone!? How are they going to go back home!? Are they going to survive?
Guys, if you're following my other fic, Blessing in Disguise, I'm sorry if I'm not updating as soon as I usually do, because I'm having writer's block:( I have to expand my mind by searching for other inspiration. I'll update when I do have an idea in mind! I want to perfect the story line...
