Disclaimer: Hey guys, thanks for reading this story!
You must have noticed some changes. I changed the OC's name from Shin Yuki to Shin Yuki since Shin suits the OC's personality more. Again, thanks for the support!

Chapter 11: Escape
Shin was on a speedboat carrying five people, three guys from another school and the driver, going to a faraway island. When she told Kogane that she was going on a vacation with Koshino, she didn't expect him to bring his friends, or more precisely, she was the tag-along since he and his teammates, Ikegami and Akira Sendoh, did these things every summer. It was a complete 180° for her, instead of spending alone time with Koshino, faraway from Akira Sendoh, she was going to be stuck in a secluded, untouched island with him.
Since she couldn't tell Kogane her dilemma she wondered what her half-glass-full-kind-of-friend would've advised. She concluded that since it was too late for her to back out she should just view it as an added challenge and enjoy herself.
It wasn't hard since just the view of the vast crystal blue ocean was stunning enough to draw all her attention, and from the distance, she could see the island. A gigantic plateau surrounded the small land. The beauty was a welcome distraction. It was a fair forty-minute boat ride from civilization and upon seeing the hidden paradise, all of Shin's worries and hung-ups were replaced by her eagerness to explore.
The speedboat they rode went to a halt as soon as the head reached soil. She was assisted by the boat-man, her camp bag hit the white sand right after.
"Whoa, this island looks straight out of those premium vacation magazines!" she said to no one in particular.
"You've never been here before?" Koshino stepped beside her.
"Are you kidding me? the farthest I've been to in Japan is Hokkaido, I haven't even heard of Niijima Island until you invited me." she looked up at Koshino, behind him, Sendoh was talking to their boat guy before the man boarded his boat again and went off, leaving them there to camp and fend for themselves.
She found it weird that it was Koshino who invited her on the trip and not her housemate, though she can't think about it that much.
Sendoh and Ikegami both carried the five feet long cooler further away from the shoreline.
"Here, let me help you carry that." Koshino offered, bending down to get her camping bag.
"I can handle it. Thanks." Shin kissed Koshino's cheek.
"Such a big bag for a skinny girl. At least let me carry your board." Koshino insisted and before Shin could say anything he took the blue and white surfboard from her arms.
"Thanks." She said, walking with him away from the shoreline.
"So, we went here to train back then, we liked it since it's secluded and refreshing so we come back when we have the time, besides, free lodging and surfing, who can resist?"
"If by free lodging you mean being eaten to death by mosquitoes at night, then go ahead." Ikegami passed by their conversation to get the rest of his stuff left ashore.
"So where do we set up camp?" Shin asked, looking around, they were at least a hundred meters away from the seashore and they were a good distance away from the rocky terrain.
"Over here!" Sendoh bellowed from afar, he found a spot away from the rocky plateau.
"It's beautiful!" Shin walked towards their spot.
"Great part is we have it all to ourselves," Koshino said then spotted two tents from a group of campers already set up at the far east coast of the beach and smiled, "Well, at least this part. Our timing's perfect, summer just started so people are either resting at home or just planning their trips." he began to set up his tent while the other two men did the same.
Shin was only half paying attention, the blue waves of the beach was exciting to her and that's when Sendoh decided to interrupt her thoughts, "Want to know a fact. This island is actually an active volcano. It almost erupted five years ago, that's why instead of 6ooo ft wide, it's now 56,000 sq meters."
The surprise from Sendoh's proximity battled with the surprise from the outstanding info he just gave, "That's cool.", she tried to play cool and tried to be her normal self, "How are the waves here?"
All three men stopped what they were doing and stared at her like she'd grown three heads, "What?" she said, getting back to setting her cozy one-man tent.
"Most girls would've shrieked off and demanded be let off this island."
"That's offensive. Girls are not like that."
"Ah. Sorry, but yes, they are." Ikegami pushed on, "All the girls I know would've."
"Well, all the girls I know, for sure, even the bitchy ones, would've been thrilled by being on an actual volcano. Maybe…" Shin said with a knowing smile, "They were just faking it. Some girls love to pull that damsel in distress act"
"Hmm." Ikegami was now thoughtful, "Maybe." he said while getting back to work, now in a much deeper thought than necessary, leaving Shin shaking her head.
"Want to merge our tents?" Koshino casually suggested beside her, within his friends' earshot.
"Is that possible?"
"Well, he lent you the old tent right? It has that feature since we bought ours at the same shop."
"Oh, okay." Shin followed Koshino's lead, taking out the side part and merging the proper tubes together. It would've looked perfect if they bought the same colour, but Koshino bought an orange one and Sendoh bought a blue one, so it looked funny but, built-wise, it was perfect.
"Ouch! Jeez.." Sendoh dropped the hammer and flicked his thumb,
"Hey man, are you alright?" Ikegami called out from his tent which was on the other side of his.
"Yeah… the ground's just harder and more uneven this time."
"Must be the eruption. Anyhow, take care of those hands, don't want to have to explain to coach how our ace injured himself."
"Right." Sendoh huffed, getting back to work right, setting his tent right beside the couple.
They told Shin about their training regimen on the island and how it would be beneficial to tennis players so she should look into it, and before they knew it, they were done setting up camp and were ready to play.
They changed into their beach wears. Sendoh, Koshino and Ikegami wore red, white and black board shorts respectively while Shin had on a tight black rash guard and red bikini bottom.
"Here you go." Sendoh handed Shin a white and blue surfboard.
She took it, hugging it to her side, "Thanks for letting me borrow it, and the gears" Shin pointed at the tent.
"Don't worry about it, I have three of those. I'm surprised you know how to surf."
"Well, someone taught me how."
Koshino stepped in the middle with a bright smile on his face, "Ready to get in?" he turned to Shin, "If you need any help don't hesitate to ask me."
"Ha ha, yeah, we'll see." she gave him a challenging look before the two of them headed out leaving Sendoh behind to wait for Ikegami.
He watched Shin and Koshino paddle to where the waves were. Koshino was ready to ride an incoming wave when Shin signalled for him to wait for the next one, and true enough, the next one was bigger and steadier. Koshino went for it and shortly after, Shin followed, riding the wave after Koshino's.
"Whoa, look at that chick!" Ikegami walked closer to the beach and watched Shin glide through the medium sized wave like knife through butter. Even though she was concentrating she had on a bright smile on her face.
"Where's Koshino?" Ikegami skimmed the water for his teammate and found him straddling his board watching his girlfriend.
"We can't let a girl outshine us like that, can we?" Ikegami chuckled before diving in and Sendoh followed close behind.
The four of them were engrossed in the waves that they didn't mind one another, didn't even talk except when they needed to inform each other that a sizeable wave was coming.
Sendoh noticed that Shin was preoccupied with something at the far end of the coast where she drifted to when she wiped out. Her board was floating beside her with a huge bucket on top of it, when he was certain that she was safe he went on to continue surfing.
A few minutes later Shin rejoined them with a bright smile on her face, "You wouldn't guess what I found at that spot over there!" she said with genuine awe while pointing at the rocky place.
"I was wondering what you were doing there." Ikegami said planting his board beside him and shaking water off his hair.
"What did you find?" Koshino asked,
"King Crabs! They were all cramped up there, I guess it's nesting season and they were leaving the surface but I got the the huge adult ones! We will eat like kings tonight! Do you know how much those cost?" Shin's amber eyes were wide and glistening with excitement.
"I guess you really do love nature and… free stuff." Sendoh commented, Koshino stared at him, momentarily surprised that he was teasing someone, other than the freshmen from Shohoku.
"Hey, King Crabs are very expensive you know." she said, raising her chin to him in a defiant stance. He wanted to laugh but she may take it the wrong way. "Anyway, I placed them in the cooler and I boiled some in the boiler those guys," she pointed behind her with her thumb where a group of men have camped a good distance from them, "Let me borrow their huge cooking pot."
"Yeah, I bet you just winked at them and they even made fire for you." Sendoh said.
"Is that what YOU have done?" Shin cocked a blonde brow at him, "Unlike you, I don't use my charms that way, I paid them with some crabs!" she grinned before swimming with her board to the waves.
That evening was a feast. They were all facing the water in a half circle, with a bonfire in front of them. Though it was dark and a huge contrast from the bright blue paradise that greeted them earlier, there was a kind of comfort in the mystery it provided. The darkness brought peace and tranquility, kind of otherworldly, making them feel like they were the only people in the world and time was nothing but a myth.
"Senpai, you do love crabs." Shin stared at the mountain of shells Ikegami had in front of him.
"I still find it weird that you call him senpai, when Sendoh and I are also your senpai."
"What's weird is I get called senpai at all. The way I'm talked to made me feel like a foot shorter." he commented, a foot shorter and they would've been the same height and at that Shin smiled inwardly.
"Well to me, there's Ikegami-senpai, Akira-san and you're… Hiro." she sat on Koshino's lap facing the water, with her back facing the other two and he enveloped her in his arms.
The bonfire added flame to the mood, aside from the two new campers in the area, they were basically alone. The night was dark with only the full moon and the bonfire illuminating them.
Shin kissed Koshino like no one was watching, with her back to the other two, Koshino's body around her and the darkness of the night made her feel safe, snuggled and loved. She wanted to make out with him ever since he came out in his board shorts and washboard abs. It seemed like Koshino wanted the same thing, he didn't care if their vice captain and ace were sitting right in front of them playing tsu-ten-jack, he was focused on and was only interested in, Shin. He slid his right hand from her right knee to the inside of her smooth bare thighs, when the tip of his fingers reached the centre of her bikini she felt him smile against her lips,
"You're soaking wet." he whispered before kissing her again, she released a silent whimper when two fingers easily slid inside her. She thought he was only going to tease her a bit, careful to look as if they were lightly making out, but he slowly pushed his long fingers until they were buried deep to his knuckles that she fought a moan again his lips and shivered in his arms.
"Wait-" she whispered then gasped against Koshino's lips. He began to move his fingers in slow deep thrusts that Shin's hips involuntarily rolled with every movement. Her whimpers suppressed by their ongoing deep kiss.
"Don't worry.. I got you." he said. Watching her unguarded expression for a bit before kissing her again.
She didn't want to come yet but Koshino seemed to want her to, right there in his arms, in the dark night by the beach, the fact that they weren't alone seemed to have slipped his mind, he continued to pump his fingers inside her, feeling her tighten, feeling her core coil approaching climax right there.
He reveled at the helpless feel of her in his arms, unlike earlier when she never asked for his help, she tightly nestled herself against his body, wanting him to stop yet needing him to give her that release. With the pad of his middle finger, he reached deep to gently rub that sensitive nub inside her, she came undone and she gasped, she didn't care anymore if anyone saw them, she let herself go, feeling her release slide out of her onto Koshino's fingers and he hugged her to him blocking her shuddering form from the others.
Koshino picked her up and briefly turned to the others, "Ah… we're gonna head in early."
"Sure." Ikegami said cocking a brow at his teammate, "Make sure to save energy for tomorrow's cycle."
"Right." Koshino flinched a bit before walking towards the tent with Shin in his arms.
"Lucky bastard. She basically didn't need him for anything up until now."
"Huh?"
"She set up her tent, gave him tips on how to ride a board, caught our dinner, no wonder she didn't need to be in a relationship, she's a full one man show."
Sendoh already knew that about Shin so he understood Ikegami's fascination. He stared at the spot Koshino occupied, the way he carried Shin's depleted body away put a frown on Sendoh's face, he reminded himself that it's their lives and he had nothing to do with it. The girl was not related to him.
Although why he was feeling unsettled bothered him, did he subconsciously feel responsible for her like a big brother would? He didn't know but for now, it's better to not mind anything and sweep it under the rug.
