EPISODE 10: THE DESERT ISLAND.
"Ok, cut!" The director said putting the end of the last scene recorded. "Great work to everyone."
"Well done guys." I said smiling to the four main actors while I held their water bottles against me trying to hold them all at the same time.
"Thanks." Hakkai said smiling and taking his bottle from me. "Need help?"
"I think this time it was really good." Sanzo added taking his. "But again the monkey spoiled the last part."
"It was not me!!" Goku said chipping before taking his water bottle. "Did you see me Isa?! Did you see me?! I managed to end up with all of them!!"
"Well done, Goku." I said smiling at him still holding the rest of the bottles at my lap.
"Thanks for the water, dear." Gojyo said getting his bottle and releasing me from having to hold the rest of bottles by putting them at the table next to me. "You should not keep on doing this things. You work too much."
"Sure, I suppose." I said. "I get bored if I don't do anything."
"Then you are going to go through bad times." Orion said. "We are leaving for another place to keep on recording the rest. So you are going to spend some days without working on anything."
"Well… I'm sure I will find something to do." I said.
"Try it not involving anything illegal." Ivvan added.
"Hey, guys, and lady." The man added when he saw I was with them. "C'mon, move, you are leaving now for the new settings."
"Me too?" I asked.
"Aye, you are their caretaker." He said. "The five of you are going to go before the rest, with the directors, and the rest of us will leave tomorrow when we have picked up all here and took to where the rest of the film is going to take place."
"I like the caretaker we've been put." Ethan said smiling.
"Yep!! Isa-chan is coming with us!!" Goku said hugging my back over Gojyo's arm.
"And where are we going exactly?" I asked.
(Time or Space Jump)
"Yep!! I like this plane!!" Goku said raising his arms at his seat of the plane.
"Sit down kiddo." Ivvan said hitting his head with a rolled newspaper. "Stop bothering around."
"I like travelling on the tourist class." Futawa said smiling as he tied his seatbelt while Gojyo kept on stuffing his hand baggage on the special compartment over our heads.
"I've always travelled this way." I said smiling and moving my hand when Gojyo asked for my backpack. "It's pretty interesting."
"And pity you've not been allowed to travel next to the window." Ethan said sitting next to me. "The sights are good."
It was funny but they were all travelling disguised so as to look like ordinary people, all wearing caps and sunglasses.
"It was funny, but I don't care about travelling there." I said smiling and putting my legs one over the other sitting more comfortable. "This seat is the only one with earphones that work."
Then they laugh and Gojyo laid his hand at my thigh so I rolled my eyes smiling in fun.
This travelling to the next spot for recording was to be really funny and interesting.
When the plane took off Goku seemed frightened so I held his hand softly to comfort him and he held it really tight until the plane stabilised and we were allowed to remove the seatbelts.
"Excuse me guys but I need to get somewhere." I apologized softly while I stood up and beginning my way out to the aisle so as to get to the toilet.
"Hey, where are you going?" Gojyo asked pulling from me to make me sit at his lap.
"The toilet, unless you prefer me doing it here." I said. "I think all the liquid I had before has gone down to my bladder too fast."
"Ok, do not take long, please." He said.
From the 98 seats, we had the 3 next to the emergency exit on the left hand of the plane, then only three seat row ones, in the middle of our area of the plane, in wish I was between Goku and Gojyo and in front of Hakkai while Sanzo was back Goku.
"Do you know where the toilets are?" Hakkai asked me.
"Sure, they usually are at the back of the plane." I nodded smiling while I did my way to the back of the plane.
Finding the toilets was not hard, considering they were just at our back, and while I was there I began hearing people speaking in Japanese then when I was about getting out, the door opened and Gojyo caught me.
"We have to leave; the plane is going through bad conditions and…"
Flush!
Before we could say anything else, the toilet fell and I fell down through it to find Gojyo hugging me too to then feel a big crash against something being held against Gojyo's chest.
I felt like water was flowing in my lungs and then nothing.
(Time or Space Jump)
"Cough, cough!" I said coughing a lot of water and doing drowning sounds while I held tight against what was closest to me.
"God… thanks… you're… fine…" Gojyo said then.
Suddenly I realised it was Gojyo who I was sinking my nails at his back so I loosened the grip while he fell over me.
"Where…" I muttered.
It was bright, and I felt something hot at my back.
"WE… fell… down the… plane." He began telling me. "In sea… swam here…"
I then nearly jumped to seat and so I checked we were lying on a beach; it was tropical and seemed as if there was no other human there apart from us two.
"But if we fell down a plane, then…" I muttered. "How can we be still…?"
Then he pointed to a yellow waistcoat punctured and deflated at the sand. I could remember him wearing it when he came to met me at the toilet.
"You… you saved us…?" I muttered him.
"Seems so." He answered.
Man, he seemed half death lying at the sand with his head at my lap as he rolled there when I sat down.
"Are you…?" I began, afraid on ending the sentence.
"Exhausted…" He answered. "Swam here…"
Then I felt awful, it was as if I had fallen from a skyscraper to the sea, my body hurt, but I suppose him was worse, he seemed to have sheltered me all the time.
"Rest here." I muttered. "I'm going to… try and find something."
He tried to stop me, but he couldn't, I was faster.
I didn't knew where were we, I couldn't get too far from the beach but anyway I looked for some wood to light a bonfire in the night and also something eatable; plus somewhere we could use as shelter for the night or maybe something we could use to make it.
It was really weird, but when I decided to go back next to Gojyo, I had already pick some kind of berries and a coconut I managed to make fall by throwing a stone at it, yet it fell on my forth attempt, and another one I found at the sand.
"Gojyo… hey, Ethan, wake up…" I called him after having put him facing the sky.
Little by little he blinked and then stared at me.
"Found something to eat." I told him. "It's pretty hot here, so I thought maybe tonight it will not be too bad if we just sleep as we can."
"You did all this while I slept?" He asked then.
"Aye, it's… survival basic skills." I said. "You saved me; I had to thank you somehow…"
"Wow, I feel bad." He said sitting while I opened a coconut with a stone making a hole at it wide enough so as to drink the water in it. "It is supposed that the man should protect the woman."
"In this case it happens that the woman knows how to act and the man doesn't." I said handing him the coconut. "Here, drink. It will help you dehydrating you."
He then drank some while I looked at the other coconut searching for a spot to open a hole.
"Hey, let's share it." He said tending me his coconut. "I don't know of survival skills, but I think we should keep the little things we have with us."
"You should drink it all." I said after taking a little sip. "You have carried me here by swimming and pulling from me, so you need it more than I do."
"Ok, but keep that coconut then, please." He told me lowering my hand with the coconut on with one of his hands.
Then I put the coconut away with my hand while I looked at him.
"Ok, now we have a bit of food." He told me. "What is next?"
"I suppose you didn't bring anything with you when you came to look for me, did you?" I said.
"Well…" He said pointing to my rugsack.
"I was supposed to tell you off, when you go out of a plane like that you are supposed to take just yourself, not bags." I said. "But to tell you the truth, I'm really happy you bring it. Let's see what we can take from this…"
There was a lot of stuff there: books, my hair cloths…
"What's the use for keeping your…" Gojyo said when I kept the tampons.
"Can be used as gauzes if you pool them a bit more than now." I said. "And mine is about coming tomorrow or so, you will not like seeing that much blood around..."
"Great." He said. "And your cologne?"
"If we get wounded we can use it as alcohol, and for lighting the bonfire in the night will be good too."
"I'll shut up." He said. "By the way, can I take on of those… cloths? My wrist hurts a bit."
"Hum, allow me." I said dropping everything to check on it, he could move it, so it was not too bad. "Just a bit twisted. I'll put a little wrapping with my hair cloth and enough."
It was not too good, but at least it would be enough for him not turning it too much.
"Looks… good, thanks." He said when I ended.
"Fine, then… I'm going to sit down for a bit." I said. "We can burn this but… we are going to need more wood."
"Want me to go and pick some?" He said.
"Do not walk too far from here, please." I said lying down at the sand.
I was really tired, so I ended falling asleep easily. I didn't woke up until late in the night when I felt really hot and nice.
"Hey, happy to see you awake." Gojyo told me while he put more wood on a bonfire. "I couldn't wake you up, you were so peacefully sleeping…"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone." I muttered crawling on my knees and hands to the fire where I sit down next to him. "It's good you lighted this."
"It's night, I hoped you would like it." He said. "It's a bit… cold here."
"Well, it's a bit cooler now than when it was daylight, but…" I said rubbing my arms without realising on it.
"Oh, and here." He said passing me a wild fruit that looked like a papaya sliced on eight parts. "I found this, and I managed to cut it with your wooden page marker."
"Hum… thanks." I said.
Then I realised he was looking to my ankle and I looked at it.
"Sorry, but… looks a bit swollen." He told me caressing it softly.
"Yeah, looks a bit…" I began.
It was a bit swollen, but it didn't hurt me much, so I expected it not to be too bad.
"Er… mind doing something for me?" I asked him.
"Sure, tell me." He said.
Then I sat a bit separated from him and laid my feet over him softly.
"Mind moving it slowly to right, left up, down and circular without moving it from where it is, please?" I asked him.
"You mean what you did with my wrist then?" He asked. "Sure."
Then he held it softly and little by little he began moving it slowly until I gave up an wince of pain.
"It hurts you?" He asked me worried.
"Yes, but… it's not too bad, it's just a sprained ankle." I said. "Mind taking the other cloth and wrapping my ankle a bit, please?"
"Hum, sure." He said. "But first… allow me to massage it a bit." He added.
"We have nothing to… oh, you mean the sun cream sample I was given at the airport." I added when I saw him taking it.
"Yes." He said. "Maybe I have no titles showing it, but Orion told me how to act on this cases."
"Great, he is really good at it." I said allowing him. "Ah, ah, not so much cream."
"Ok." He said taking some and putting it on my other feet over him. "It's going to be the first time I have to do this for… well, medical purposes."
"Done it before?" I asked as he began doing it.
"Well, yes." He said. "Well, I have had done it over several girls before but… well, you know…"
I then raised an eyebrow softly and I didn't realise on why.
"You have beautiful feet." He told me smiling and looking at me by the top of his eyes while his face was looking to my feet.
"Thank you, I suppose." I said softly.
"No, believe me." He added. "I say it sincerely. Really sexy feet. When we go back I would like you to allow me to do something else on them, to make them look even sexier."
"It's hard for me to believe you." I said. "I mean… people usually say the eyes, the face, the butt… something else is sexy, not the feet."
"Well, I already told you, you have a nice ass too." He told me. "And… I must say your neck is really sexy too."
That made me smile. It was first time someone told me I had sexy neck of feet. So he also smiled wide while he massaged my feet.
I must say this massages were really caring, he seemed to put really a lot of care and love on them. So much he ended making me feel ok with him massaging my feet while I was laying against a long log of the ones destined to be burn there.
So good I ended up falling asleep there.

(Gojyo's voice)
It was great to see that girl's, in front of me, face while I massaged her feet the best I knew. To tell the truth it was the first time I did it not expecting something else after it, this time I was supposed to be giving it for free just for her feeling no pain on it after having hurt it a bit.
I would have loved to ask for something else than a thanks for paying that service, but instead I just held myself from jumping over her to take my payment for all that.
Amazingly, I found my payback on watching her face looking at her feet while I massaged it.
Her face just lit by the fire's light was shiny and delicious while her eyes were shining with a special light reflecting the one from the fire. Her body and face were showing relax, as if she was feeling better now.
Really, for first time, I got more delight on watching her face like that than on wanting to see more than her feet bare in front of my eyes.
I was to end up when I looked at her again, she was now sleeping, so I sighed and took the cloth to bandage her ankle with it the best I could, getting sure it was tight enough for her not moving it but not too much so as not to strangle her ankle either.
Then I moved and sat next to her to then laid an arm under her neck to attract her to me and allow her to use me as pillow.
Maybe she was our English teacher, but I should swear she was not elder than us, no way; plus she looked not to special, model-like I mean, she was not the strongest I've ever seen or the slimmest or anything like that, but… to my eyes she was beginning to be just perfect.
She was really spirited, with strong will and seeming to know of survival and extreme sports. She was the one protecting me all the day, keeping me alive and getting sure we could easily survive for a couple of days at least, but she didn't stop being a woman.
She was making me feel like protecting her even if I couldn't do much and she had to order me things to be done.
Then I realised on something about her, her back was a bit wider than usual girls, yet it seemed to perfectly adjust to my arm.
I smiled and then closed my eyes making her use me as a pillow after covering both with my jacket.
For a second, I forgot about the deal we made some weeks ago, at the showers of the recording camp; now I didn't felt like taking advantage on it, I wanted to make things well and I wanted to keep her with me.
Anyway, having her there, wearing her shorts and the white tank t-shirt she wore during all the day at the plane and all made me want on something else, yet…
Shyly I laid a finger at her thigh and moved it slowly up and down, as she didn't woke up, I stopped when she let out a complaining sound and moved her face towards my neck on her dreams.
"Sweet dreams." I told her after kissing her softly so as not to wake her up.
