Chapter 4 Food Fight

Two more days in counting until I can get this wretched thing off my arm! I try peeking into the wrapped leaves around my arm while walking back away from the ocean.

The closer I got to the cave I can hear him rummaging around inside, I walk over enough to see him with a few things in his arms. He walked over to his small fire pit just left of the cave opening. 'Why don't I remember seeing this?'

He sits down with a coconut and uses a sharp rock to shave the hairs off the coconut. By this time I sit opposite the fire to watch him closely. Taking a long piece of wood placing it front himself, he pulls a small pouch out and takes a few pieces of shaved wood out while also using the coconut hairs to place on the inside of the wood. Next to him he picks up two sticks, one of them has a notch in each end while taking out what looked to be cloth or string, placing each side into the notch makes a loose bow. Putting the other stick in one loop uses all of this to make a few sparks to for the kindling.

Adding more dry wood to slowly build up the fire for the fish he caught today. I watch intently as he uses a sharpened rock to gut out five fish into an empty coconut shell, before stabbing the sticks into the ground to the ground to cook them. I watch as he strolls down to the beach before dumping the fish content out and rinsing out the coconut bowel. Toshiro is silent, not even looking at me. He is still mad at me from the other day! Having the only other person on this island not even talk to you is not cool! 'Whatever! he has to get over his PMS sometime!'

I stand up and go threw the vine covering to lie down; well since he doesn't want to talk I can use a nap! Hearing the crackling of the fire was hypnotic to my ears, it wasn't long before I passed out.

Poking at my good hand by a stick was not the way I wanted to be woken up. Rubbing my hand I sit up glaring at him.

He shoved one of his home made bowels into my hand with two whole fish looking back at me. Uh, every fish I've ever eaten never looked this good and fresh, except when dad and Ichigo cook theirs right after they went fishing. I regret not learning how to cook from Yuzu, I'm always relying on other people to feed me. Guilt and regret fueled my own fire.

All of a sudden I wasn't so hungry anymore! Setting the bowel of fish down on the bed I get up and start to head out before his voice stopped me.

"What are you doing eat!" I pull both if my arms across my chest.

"I'm sorry I'm not really hungry any more." walking to the vines I try to pull them back when Toshiro took a hold of my wrist.

"I know your hungry your lips are cracked, your not getting protein! Only bugs and fish head have protein here!" I pull out of his hold to glair at him.

"I told you I'm not hungry! You eat it!" getting out of cave next to the fire he follows me out with the fish bowl in hand. Setting the bowl next to the rocks of the fire he turns to face me. I suddenly feel like getting far…far away from here! Like now!

I take off down the little path to fall flat on my face into the sand. He has both of my ankles dragging me back to the fire. I'm wiggling and screaming and trying to kick him, but with his iron like grip I wasn't going anywhere beside drives over to that fire while on my stomach.

Toshiro flips me over and sits on my stomach. I watch as he breaks up the fish and takes a piece in-between his fingers and guides it to my lips. I clamp my lips shut with my hands over my mouth. I already told him I wasn't hungry and this wasn't helping! I'm beginning to feel like a prisoner!

Taking his one hand pulls both of my arms above my head while forcing his fingers into my mouth, I keep my teeth locked. He put some between my closed teeth and cheek. I turn my head and spit it out.

"What is wrong with you!" I was spitting mad now! "Stop trying to force feed me!"

"You had the same look my father did when my mom died! He gave up! Don't give up!" his emotional side is strong, but I am one stubborn girl!

"There is a big difference Toshiro! He lost someone he loved! I'm the one who's lost! Am I not allowed to be a little bit sad? Now let me go!" Before I knew what was happening he had his mouth over mine force feeding me. He wouldn't let go until I swallowed. I was unprepared the first time but not this time!

When brought his lips back over mine I wouldn't let him do that again, I kept my mouth shut. Using his free hand he pinched my nose and I began to struggle for oxygen. When I opened for air he let go my nose; using his tongue to slide more of the fish into my mouth. I try to shove it back using my own until he pinched my nose again! I swallowed and started to cough; I needed water. I try to sit up but Toshiro still has me pinned. He picks something up bringing it up to his own lips, then pulls his face and lips back onto my own. The liquid tastes like coconut water, but I accept the liquid, chucking doesn't seem like a suited death for me.

After I swallowed am not struggling anymore, noticing how he still wasn't letting my mouth free I try to talk, but it comes out muffled. I see his hand grab for the fish bowl again, I try to move my head to the side but our lips are dry enough to be glued together. I lick mine and his lips to be able to turn my head. He quickly stuffed his mouth with fish, now that I know how to evade a lip to lip collision, I do just that! Every time he brings his lips to touch mine even with him trying to pinch my nose; I would lick our lips and turn my head. Yeah it hurt because he had a hold of my nose, but I wanted to prove a point here! I'm not someone you can just shove around!

I had my face to the fire as he took his fingers off of my nose and tugged my chin to face him. 'Forceful Bastard!' Taking two fingers found and squeezed the muscles to pry open my mouth. Slowly my mouth came apart. Toshiro's teeth held mine open long enough to shove more fish in. I get my head turned ready to spit the contents out when his other hand let go of my arms to grab the back of my head while using the other to pinch my nose again! My now free hands begin to beat his arms and sides. He seals his lips back over mine. I try to use my nails to dig into his back; he presses his face harder against mine. About a min later I give up and swallow. I'm mumbling so many swearwords at him wishing he would let go, using my hands I grab the back of his arms signaling for him to let me go. I am getting dizzy and going to turn blue. He let go of my nose and released some pressure. If you were to look at us not knowing; it would probably seem like we

Were a couple making out on a beach next to a fire. He lifts his head above mine and stairs down at me.

I let go of his arms as he pulls away. I lick my lips and wipe them with my good arm. He doesn't move from my stomach.

"Ah, you got what you wanted now get off!"

"Not until you finish that bowl." handing it to me I sit on my elbows as his ass still sits on top of me. I have never been so pissed off besides the time when Ichigo was twelve and held me down while tickling me until I cried!

I take the bowl and start eating being careful of pin bones that might get stuck. I drink some that water from earlier he finally gets off of me to sit attend to the dying fire.

"I need some freaking space! So don't come near me, got that?" his eyes never roamed away from the fire as I turn away from him and head out to the beach. I needed to sit and clear my head. The sun had already disappeared and what was left were the remaining colors in the sky. I sit down and watch the sky goes from light blue, orange, pink, into the dark blue; I already knew the moon was behind me. The winds pick up and my hair whips around my face.

I touch my lip's, they are still puffy from being assaulted earlier. I can also feel my jaw muscles ache and yet here I am pitting the guy! He was yet again trying to help me, but in the wrong way. Adults show restraint and have respect for personal boundaries; I guess if you didn't learn that then you would end up like him. To top it off he was trying to keep me alive, he didn't want me to die like his father, which proves he's not a bad guy. I lay back and close my eyes.

I wake up on the beach. 'I don't even remember falling asleep.' The sun broke on the opposite side of the mountain. Listening to the island birds chirping and the ocean wave's crash onto the shore I feel better; sandy, but better.

I bet there probably looking for me right about now. Dad wouldn't give up and if know Ichigo he already punched Hojie by now!

I sit up and a mango falls on to my lap. Hearing Toshiro plopping next to me I turn and see him chewing on his own.

"Are you mad at me?" I can tell he felt guilty, but I wasn't in a bad moon now anyways.

"No, but you don't have to force feed me by trying to kiss my face off!" not trying to look directly at him I can tell his face was as red as a beet.

"I wasn't kissing you!

"Yeah, well whatever, you shoving your tongue down someone's throat like that is considered a kiss!"

"You weren't eating!"

" You cannot just force feed someone!" he took a bite of his mango and pounced back on top of me shoving the mango into my mouth and jumps off when he succeeds.

"See, yes I can!" dusting the front of my sandy shirt off I can feel myself becoming flustered. How would he take the same treatment? He looks at me and laughed.

Getting pissed off I hit my limit! I grab my mango and take a chunk out if it before jumping on top of him. Toshiro being stronger rolled me onto my back as I get my leg out from under him to roll him back over. We start touching wet sand the further we wrestle each other. I start to tickle his sides as waves touched my hair; I gain the advantage grabbing the back of his hair and tugging us both further into the water. I am victorious as I straddle him, bending over I kiss his lips and yell. "I Win!" another wave cones crashing into us almost knocking me over. My victory is short lived as he grabs my half out pony tail and flips me into my back with him between my legs. He presses his whole body onto mine.

"You didn't think I would let you win did you?" he starts to lean forward when I stop him by grabbing his wet hair.

"Stop! I don't think you know what you're doing to me...If we keep going I'm not sure I will be able to hold back from something I may regret!" His huge teal eyes start to close.

"You started it!" it was mean and challenging words. 'Hold the phone! He's getting mad at me! This isn't even my fault!' my blood pressure through the roof and now I am in a challenging mood.

"This would be starting something Toshiro!" I pull his head down and kissed him until I couldn't breath. He pulls away presses his body down onto me harder, I know this is all new for him, but I've played this game before. Experimenting what feels good to him as I wrap my legs around his waist and pull him closer. He groans as I kiss him again. The water is getting closer to us, high tide maybe? Either way we don't move from that spot.

I tilt my head and lick his lips, he's not really getting it." open your mouth.." when he does I find his tongue quickly as I pull him closer to me with my arms. He learns quickly, maybe too quickly. When his hand squeezes my left breast I pull back to look at him. "I...don't think we can do this right now." Damnit to Hell with male hormones! He grinds into me as I moan out loud; he lowers his head back to mine, with both of his hands he grabs my face out of the raising water in a gentle way to cradle my head. Kisses me lightly then sets his fore head against mine while were both panting.

"I know what this is, so don't treat me like I'm a complete idiot. If you don't want me, tell me?"

"It's not that I don't want this or with you; it's just way too soon! I've only met you this week. I know this must be killing you being out here alone, but are you willing to go further because you want to or because I'm the first female here?" he turns his head away from mine. "Can you wait a little longer for me to come around?" turns back and runs his fingertip over my lips.

"I have been waiting for so long for you!" I snort and it pissed him off.

"You sound like a cheesy romance novel." He pulls away to get up and walks off not even looking back. Another bigger wave splashes my side as I sit up holding my wrapped arm up I head back to the cave.

I must have ticked him off; a whole day goes by and no sign of him. The next day I take off the wrap. The cut on the arm is closed, but the new skin is tender. Taking it down to the water to rinse it off. I look around a little bit before going back and trying to climb that damn banana tree by myself. I kept sliding and falling back down; May hands hurt and my knees are bruised. I give up and go to the waterfall to fill up. I listen for him as I walk back to the cave, nothing!

A whole week goes by just me attempting to climb that tree or hunt for food. I picked a little berry tree, then on day ten it had nothing left to give. Is he really going to avoid me this whole time?

Day twelve Toshiro free, I find another little bush in the different direction, I pick a bundle off and head back while popping a few in my mouth. They taste a little tart, but not bad. I'm close to the waterfall so decided to get some before heading back. At the water fall I drank what I could, then half way back I start to get period cramps. 'Stupid woman cycle!'

I start looking around the cave for any type of cloth I could use, it would be coming soon. I found none as I finger my sacrificial shirt that has stayed with me this long. I tear my shirt from the seams into four sections and folding them into threes; this should be enough for right now.

Without the comfort of my birth control my cramps are ten times worse. The next day I make use to my old shirt and lay around all day.

It was way worse than I thought walking like a hunch back to the waterfall with the brush and the soap bowl in tow. Once I reach the water I strip down and get into the water. What I need is a razor for my legs and pits, but that is probably asking for too much!

I wash the remaining pieces of my old shirt, and my other clothes after I scrubbed myself. Swimming while waiting for my clothes to dry was relaxing, while listening to the waterfall hit the rocks next to me.

Padding back up and heading to the cave I see a few things out of place in the cave. The book moved and the fishing pole is gone. He's probably checking up on things here.

Another week goes by and I officially ate the other berry bush dry too, still no Toshiro. I'm thirsty and want water, touching my lips I feel them dry and almost cracking. I go to sit up, but I'm way too hot and tired to move. This really pisses me off! I can't even get food by myself! Sleep is calling for me and I happily oblige than having to deal with this stomach ache.
