Chapter 2
"SHE'S GONE!!!" yelled Tama running towards Senn and Reise who were standing in front of Senn's house. "Who's gone," asked Reise Worried, "Hikari!!!" he yelled as he stopped in front of them. "I think some one kidnapped her," "well lets catch the dick head and throw him in the forest," said Senn. She grabbed her giant sword and swung it barely missing Tama. "Watch it," he said grabbing his sword and swinging it at her wildly. "Calm down you two," said Reise, the two put their swords down. "Now, lets think about this," she said calmly, "Hikari doesn't have any enemy because she's so nice so she probably just went for a walk." "A walk?" said Senn disappointed, "where too?" asked Tama. "Well from what I can gather about Hikari's behavior lately it would probably be somewhere quiet where there aren't any people or any distraction," Reise answered. "The island!" said Senn and Tama together. They grabbed their swords and ran toward the island, "wait for ma guys," said Reise running after the others
"Hikari!" Antan yelled at the ocean, Hikari came up from under the water. "Could ya give me a hand with this," he asked pointing at the unfinished raft, "sure," she answered. She swam ashore; Antan threw her a towel and her jacket. That's when Tama came out of nowhere and knocked Antan to the ground. Antan escaped him but then Senn came up from behind and tried to hit him with her sword he jumped over her and landed in front of Reise who opened her book and yelled "THUNDER!!!" Antan jumped out of the way barely avoiding the bolt of lightning. The three of them gathered in front of Hikari trying to block Antan. "Stay away from my sister ya shit head," said Tama angrily. "Um………… what are you guys doing?" Hikari asked confused. "We're protecting ya from this fucker, what does it look like we're doing?" said Senn. Hikari pushed them aside and walked over to Antan, "you ok," she asked. "Think so," Antan answered, she turned to her friends and smiled. "I'd like you all to meet Antan, he's our newest friend." They all looked confused, "so these are your friends," said Antan smiling, "let's see if I can get this right," he walked over to Senn and looked at her. "You must be Senn," she nodded still confused. He walked over and looked at Tama, "well since you're the only other boy and you called Hikari your sister that must mean you're Tama." "Uh… yeah but…" Antan walked over to Reise and smiled, "that leaves only Reise left so that's you right?" she nodded. He walked back over to Hikari and smiled at them "it's very nice to meet you all Hikari has told me all about you three." "I told you two to be calm about this,"
"We need to finish quickly," said Hikari picking up some rope, "it's already the afternoon and we still need supplies." "Right," Antan said picking up a log and standing it up in the middle of the raft. Hikari tied the rope to the top of the log then tied it to the edge of the raft. "What are you guys doing?" asked Reise, watching Hikari tie down the log, "making a raft," Hikari answered as she tied down the other side of the log. Antan let go of the log to make sure it was tied down tight. "Alright now that the raft's finished, let's gather the supplies," said Hikari pulling a piece of paper and a pencil out of her pocket. "Where ya planin' to go on this thing?" asked Senn looking at the raft, "other worlds" answered Antan, walking over to Hikari who was crossing thing off her list. "Raft," she said crossing it off her list, "sail," "you can't sow," interrupted Senn, "I'll think of something," replied Hikari. "Fish," "you don't eat meat," said Reise, "you don't?" asked Antan, "well, I thought…" Antan took her pencil and crossed fish off her list. "One less thing to get," he said smiling at her as she took her pencil back, "um… alright, but we still need fruit, water, coconuts, and mushrooms." "I can make the sail," offered Senn, "that's alright," said Hikari, "no it ain't, you suck at sowin', besides I'm not gonna let you have all the fun while I'm stuck here babysitting." That's when she walked over to Antan, "besides who knows what'll happen if I leave you alone with this guy for a whole summer," said Senn glaring at him. "What's that supposed to mean," Antan asked looking her in the eye and trying to sound tough. "It means, I don't trust ya shit-head," she pushed him to the ground, Antan looked surprised. "Ya even look at Hikari and I'll break your arm," Hikari ran over to Antan and helped him up. She turned to Senn, "quit scaring him, Senn," she said annoyed. "I'm just layin' out the rules for him," Senn said smiling and looking satisfied at the fact that she had scared Antan.
"I'm going too," said Reise suddenly, "I thought you were to smart to believe in Kairi's story's," said Senn. "I don't believe her story's I'm only coming to prove that the story's are fake," She said adjusting her glasses. "I have enough canteens at my house for all of us so I'll get the water," Reise suggested, "hay what about me," said Tama suddenly. He looked annoyed at the fact that they had been ignoring him since the start of the conversation. "You can take care of yourself for the rest of the summer," said Hikari. "But what am I supposed to do for the rest of the summer?" Tama whined, "Make friends your own age," suggested Hikari. "Work on your swordsmanship," suggested Senn. "Finish your own summer project," suggested Reise. "You guys know I won't do any of that unless you're here to make sure I do it," he said. "He's got a point," said Reise looking as Hikari. "(sigh) alright you can come, but you have to make yourself useful," said Hikari. "Why don't you catch fish," suggested Reise, "two for each of us." "Right" said Tama running into the water "Put the fish in this cooler," Hikari yelled to him as she pulled a cooler onto the raft that had gotten buried in the sand when her friends had attacked. "Got it," Tama yelled back. "You two are getting the coconuts and fruit, then," said Reise Antan and Hikari nodded. Senn and Reise headed back to the village.
"They're nice, well except for the whole attacking me and threatening me thing," said Antan smiling. "Yeah, um. . . . . . I'm really sorry about that, usually they ignore me," she said as they walked toward the other side of the island. "Why was your friend threatening me?" "well, uh. . . . . she' s had some bad experiences with boyfriends," "anyway, we're here," she said changing the subject happily. They had gotten to the other side of the island where there was a small gathering of trees. "You get the coconuts," said Hikari throwing him a potato sack ad pointing at the brown trees. "Hit the trees they should fall right out, oh and only gather the yellow ones," she instructed. "Um. . . . . alright," said Antan taking the sack with out complaining. Hikari walked up a small slop next to some white trees she jumped onto the top of one of them and took out another potato sack. She started picking fruit and putting it into the sack. Mean while Antan walked over to a tree and kicked hit, it shook a little but nothing else happened. "Uh, Hikari nothi. . . ." three coconuts fell down and hit him on the head knocking him to the ground. "Heh heh, maybe I should collect the coconuts," said Hikari smiling. "No, I can handle it," he said getting back up and walking over to the tree again. Hikari tried to hold back her laughter as he hit the tree again and was hit on the head again.
"All done," said Hikari jumping down from a fruit tree with her sack full. "Almost done," said Antan hitting the tree he waited a moment then hit it again impatiently. "I only need. . ." one coconut fell and hit him on the head and knocked him over, ". . . . . .One more," he finished. Hikari helped him up then she walked over to the last coconut and picked it up, "here ya go," she threw it to him. He caught it and put it in his sack. "Time to go, the others should be done by now," they headed back to the other side of the island.
