A/N: Hi guys! New story, long details. Read and enjoy, but don't forget to REVIEW!
I swam as fast as I could towards the land, with my brother right behind me. I felt my adrenaline kick in as we neared the patch of land. We finally collapsed, exhausted on the sandy beach of the island. My brother panted, and soon dozed off. My own fear of danger kept me awake, and I checked around me for any signs of danger before I curled next to my brother. I never slept, even when my eyelids were fighting to stay open, simply because I could not risk being attacked. When he finally woke up after what seemed like hours, although I was sure it had only been forty-five minutes or so, it was his turn to keep a watch while I finally got to rest. I fell into a fitful sleep, frequently waking up every five minutes or so. I remained in this state for about half an hour, before I finally drifted off, and a few minutes later, my dear brother woke me up with a shout of glee. I grumbled before pushed my body off the ground, and stood beside him. He was pointing to a flesh coloured blob clutching a piece of wood about ten meters away from the island. How the wood appeared I had no idea.
I squinted, and saw that in was, in fact, a woman, who seemed to be unconscious. I muttered a few choice words under my breath before plunging into the frigid seawater again. I swam towards the woman, and grabbed hold of her arm before pulling her towards the island. Once we reached the shore, my brother hauled the woman away from me, and leant her against the tree before checking her pulse. He found it to be quite weak, and decided that the best plan of action was to build a shelter of sorts. By this time, the sun was already bathing the horizon with its rays, turning it red and I found myself, oddly, feeling relaxed. This was the only time since the last few chaotic months that I had felt that my responsibilities had disappeared, along with the plane that we were supposed to be flying to California from Japan in. My brother was busy at work finding things that we could build a shelter with, and I rushed to help him. He brushed me off before heading into the jungle close to island was coated in a layer of green plants, and it seemed that we were situated in a small hollow where there were only small plants. I could hear wildlife, or at least I hope it was wildlife, crashing through the undergrowth around us. Small bushes with berries surrounded us, providing some colour to the otherwise green landscape. I heard a sound behind me, and whirled around, my heartbeat increasing its pace.
I realised that it was the woman who had made the noise, and cautiously approached her. I had learnt that it was never good to approach people who were injured and didn't know you. She caught sight of me, and struggled to stand. I forgot my plan of action, and ran to her, forcing her back on the ground. Even I, who had absolutely no medical training whatsoever, as that was my brother's area of expertise, could tell that she was still too weak to function properly. She had a look of fear on her face, and I realised that she was only in her teens. She could be at most nineteen, although my guess was seventeen. I spoke calmly to her, soothing her and reassuring her that no harm would come to her. She didn't seem to relax, and I could tell her muscles were tense and she was ready to bolt at a moment's notice. I backed away, giving her some space between us. When I did that, she visibly relaxed the tiniest fraction. I opened my mouth to ask a question, but then, my brother entered the camp, balancing leaves and branches on his unloaded them onto the ground, then straightened his back, wincing at the crack sound it made as the bones straightened. He then noticed the girl and me, and strode over to her. "Hello, my name is Souta, that's my sister Kagome back there." He said while jerking his thumb at me. How polite. The girl stuttered "M...My name is R..Rin." My brother, being the charming gentleman he is, continued with "Well then, Rin, will you allow me to examine you for injuries?" Rin nodded her head, prompting him to crouch next to her and search for injuries. Other than a nasty bruise that was turning a purplish colour on her head and a few scratches on her arms, she was relatively unharmed physically. Mentally, I wasn't so sure. I gingerly walked towards her, careful not to startle her anymore that she already was.
A/N: I will only post the next chapter if I get reviews, because I just want to know that people are actually reading the story. Flames are fine. A simple 'I like this' or 'I think you should improve on...' would be appreciated.
