Lost Paradise

Chapter 4

Rei smiled at the group. "Okay, typically our rooms accomodate to two people. So therefore, all together you will have four rooms."

"Now do these rooms have one big bed or two smaller beds?" Takuya asked, glancing at Zoe.

"We actually have both," Rei answered. "Once we get to the island, you may choose which type of room you would like. Will the couples be bunking together?"

"Yup!" Takuya quickly replied.

J.P. smirked at Tommy. "Roomies?"

"Yeah, now I have easy access if I want some chocolate," Tommy said with a laugh.

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me." Rei rubbed the back of her neck. "I never asked the rest of you what your names were."

"Well, this is my girlfriend, Zoe. The weird emo kid is Kouji and the girl next to him is his girlfriend, Sera," Takuya said.

Kouji glared at him. "Quit calling me emo."

"Anyway," he continued, ignoring Kouji's complaint, "The younger kid is Tommy, the happy couple couple over there is Kouichi and Jasmine, and the kid with the red face is J.P."

"Takuya," J.P. hissed with embarrassment.

"What?" The brunette blinked in confusion. "I'm only introducing you guys to her."

Rei laughed. "Well, it's nice to meet all of you. Especially you, J.P."

The hefty boy's face grew even redder, if it was even possible.

"You too," he squeaked out.

"So, Rei," Takuya changed the subject. "How many other people won the contest?"

The girl smiled. "Oh, you guys are the only ones. It's a contest in which only one person is a winner."

Kouji frowned. "That's kind of strange. Is there anyone else on the island though? People on vacation or something?"

"Yes, there are other people there," she replied, somewhat impatient. "But we only have one winner for the contest itself. It can get expensive."

"Ah, I see." Takuya nodded in understanding. "Though it would be cool if we had an entire island to ourselves."

"Keep dreaming," Kouichi said. "Just be grateful that you won the contest in the first place."

Takuya paused for a moment, then looked at Rei. "Um, how did I win the contest? I never entered a contest or anything."

Rei seemed not to hear him, for she was making her way over to J.P.

"How's it going?" She asked.

J.P.'s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. "Great!"

Takuya sighed, smacking his face with his palm. "We need to teach him how to talk to girls."

"Oh, give him a break." Zoe rested her head against his shoulder. "Remember how you asked me out?"

The brunette blushed from embarrassment. "Eh, yeah...."

Kouji laughed at the memory. "Dude, you looked so crazy that we thought you were rabid."

"Yeah, you were practically foaming at the mouth," Kouichi chimed in.

"Z-Zoe! W-w-w-will you...go out with me?! I r-r-really like your blond hair and want to take you out for some p-p-pizza! Whatdya say?!" Kouji mocked the gogglehead.

Takuya glared at them. "Shut up!"

Zoe smiled. "I thought it was cute."

"I know, and it was about time he asked you out," Sera added.

"Yeah, no kidding." Jasmine shook her head.

"Alright, alright. I get it," Takuya intercepted. "When are we gonna get there?"

Tommy glanced down at his watch. "About two hours and fifty minutes."

"Dammit," Takuya sighed. "I'm gonna take a nap then. C'mon Zoe."

The blond was dragged away as Takuya went off to find a one of the cabin's rooms.

"That's actually not a bad idea," Sera agreed. "Kouji?"

"Right behind ya," he replied, following her.

Kouichi and Jasmine smiled at each other, not even needing to say what they were thinking. They took off a second later. With a yawn, Tommy glanced back at J.P, who was still talking to Rei.

"Try not to freak out, J.P," he mumbled, leaving the two alone.

Once everyone was gone, Rei stared intently at J.P.

"So....do you have a girlfriend by any chance?" She asked.

J.P. couldn't breathe for a moment, and his face turned blue.

"Um..you okay?" Rei asked in a concerned voice.

"Yup, I'm okay!" He finally rasped out. "And no, I don't have one. Do you?"

Rei shook her head with an amused smile. "No, I don't have a girlfriend either."

J.P. mentally slapped himself. "I mean, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope," she cheerfully replied.

The boy had a goofy smile on his face, blushing like crazy.

"Well, I better go speak with the captain of the boat," Rei told him. "Why don't you go lie down and take a nap? It'll be awhile before we get there."

"Okay," he squeaked out, hurrying off to find a vacant cabin.

"J.P.!" Rei could hear two people shouting.

J.P. slammed the door shut. "Sorry, Kouji! I didn't know you guys were in there!"

He ran into another room, which luckily for him, was empty. As soon as he was gone, Rei began to make her way to the captain's quarters. She went down several steps, going to the boat's lower floor. The blond girl came to a hallway, proceeding to the door at the very end. She knocked quickly, then entered before anyone replied.

"What's up?" A man with stained clothes and ratty long hair was driving the ship.

"Well, looks like we got ourselves eight lucky guests," she told him.

He smirked. "More than last time."

"I know, it's great."

The man pushed his dirty hair out of his eyes. "What about the last group that was there?"

"Taken care of," Rei told him.

"Good," he muttered. "I hated them. Bunch of loud-mouth college brats....What's the new group like?"

"They seem nice enough. It's a shame," she said, adjusting one of the straps on her dress.

The man shrugged slightly, turning the boat to the left. "Too bad. And next time, keep me updated on what's going on. I feel like a friggen delivery boy 'cause you don't tell me jackshit."

"Oh, knock it off. You're more than a delivery boy, John." Rei sighed. "But it's tough to keep you updated because you're always off doing something else."

"No, you're just too lazy to get off your ass and call me," he scoffed. "This time around, I get to participate."

"You will," Rei said, rolling her eyes.

John glanced at her. "Please tell me there's at least one girl in the group."

"Actually, there's three," she told him in a hushed voice. "Three gorgeous girls. Too bad they have boyfriends, huh?"

"Won't fucking matter," he snorted. "Not when I'm done with 'em."

Rei pushed a blond lock out of her face. "Well, they're napping for right now."

"Yeah, if they're not fucking." John steadily turned the boat to the left a bit more.

"Just be patient for now."

John smirked. "Yeah, for now."
