CHAPTER 4: The First Stone/ Kokoro Island.

They all racked their brains trying to think of what the clue could possibly be
refering to. Finally bored and fed up Kohaku said, "Look we're not doing any good
just sitting here we might as well look around the park or something. We could
split up and search around cause this park is pretty big." They all nodded and
quickly agreed. Celeste and Chichiri going North, Sakura and Tasuki going
West and Kohaku and Tamahome going East.

******************************

Kohaku looked around and saw kids with dogs and couples walking happily hand
in hand but not much more than that, unless trees and birds count. They came
to the lake in the very center of the park and sat down on the edge. "I guess
the clues arent talking about the park." Tamahome said sighing and laying down
on the soft grass. "It sure is a nice day though." Kohaku said laying down as
well. "The sun is shining, the boats with the happy couples are floating around
the lake, people picnicing on the island..." "Island?!" Tamahome said suddenly
jumping up and looking across the lake, "This is great I didn't even notice
an island there until now." Kohaku stared at him strangely. "Does the island
have a name?" He asked excitement rising in his voice. "Sure its something
like Kokoro island." She replied. Tamahome smiled, "And what does Kokoro mean?"
he asked. "Why it means heart...oh my gods!" Kohaku suddenly cried catching on.
She jumped up as well then ran up through the trees yelling, "Follow me
Tamahome!"

When they reached their destination they were on top a high secluded cliff over
looking the lake. "Wow I never noticed it before but Kokoro island is actually
in the shape of a big heart...How romantic!*-*" Kohaku said stepping closer
to the edge to get a better look. Suddenly she felt a rumble and the ground beneath
her feet began to crumble away. Before she could jump to safety, the ground
completely gave way and she was falling. Instinctively her arms grabbed out at
anything and luckily she grabbed a big tree root. When the dust cleared she
could hear Tamahome calling to her, "Oh my Gods! Kohaku are you all right? Kohaku!"
Tears streamed down her face, she was so scared she couldnt even call back to
him. She looked down and saw rocks and water and quickly closed her eyes tightly
shut. Her arms were beggining to hurt as well. Tamahome reached out to her and
missed. "Kohaku just stay calm Im gonna get you, okay?" Kohaku took a few deep
breaths then spoke, her voice shaky "O-okay." Tamahome stretched his arm as far
as he could. Kohaku could feel splinters cutting into her palms. Just as she
thought she couldnt hold on much longer Tamahome grabbed her arms and began to
pull. She opened her eyes and looked up at his straining face. With all his strength
Tamahome pulled Kohaku over the edge and back to safety.

After a few seconds to breath Tamahome took Kohaku into his arms and kissed her
several times, "Are you okay?" "Yah," Kohaku replied tears running down her
face, her heart was still beating from the experience. Tamahome tilted her
chin up and looked Kohaku in the eyes, "Are you sure?" He asked a look of
worry on his face. Kohaku looked at him for awhile then smiled taking a deep
breath, "Yes...I just need to rest." She replied turning her gaze to her ripped
blue jeans. Tamahome stared at her then lifted up her chin again and kissed
her passionately. Kohaku closed her eyes and felt warm inside, this felt so
right. As Tamahome gently pulled away she opened her eyes again and smiled.
He smiled back and they both laughed, that crazy laugh when something crazy just
happens and you have nothing to say.

******************************

Tasuki and Sakura wandered around the park. Sakura felt weird about sleeping
the night in his arms but Tasuki didn't seem bothered so she soon forgot all
about it. "Do you even remember the damn clue?" Tasuki said walking with his
arms behind his head. "Yah its something like 'lovers parting on hearts' or
something." She replied knowing how dumb she sounded. Tasuki plumped down in
the middle of the path, "Im tired of walkin Im takin a fuckin' break!" he
whined. Sakura sighed and sat down next to him, "Okay just a little rest I
guess will be fine." Soon the duo were asleep in the middle of the path.

*******************************

"It figures, no da." Chichiri said to Celeste as he looked down on Tasuki and
Sakura fast asleep in the middle of the path at 12:34 in the day. Celeste
sighed and nudged her friend, "Sakura! Did you find anything?" Sakuras eyes
fluttered, "What huh wha..." Celeste sighed again. "Maybe we should find Tamahome
and Kohaku, no da." Chichiri said as he tried to wake Tasuki and nearly got
smacked in the face by a tessen.

*******************************

After limping to a fountain and washing off her hands Kohaku and Tamahome went
to the shop where you could rent a boat to take you to the island. Tamahome
smiled at Kohaku as they pulled the row boat into the water. "Are you sure you
feel up to this?" he asked. Kohaku smiled back, "Sure, Im fine." she replied hopping
into the boat. Tamahome jumped in and took the oars. They rowed out to the dock
on the small island, and got out. "Where should we look?" Tamahome said looking
around. "Well the clue says 'Where lovers meet and lovers part' well I just remebered
an article I read in the newspaper it said that the number one place for lovers
to get together was in front of the statue in the middle of the island. But
it also said that it was one of the number one places for people to tell their
partner that it was over." Kohaku said walking toward the paved path. "Okay
well thats probably the place." They walked down the path, Kohaku saw many people
making out and holding hands. She sighed and looked at Tamahome, 'Are we a
couple now?' She wondered, 'He did kiss me.' She blushed at this thought, 'But
of course that was probably just because he was scared from my fall.' She looked
down at the ground again as they walked. She looked up when she felt something
rub against her hand and realized it was Tamahome putting his hand in hers.
She smiled at him and squezed his hand gently. They walked like that all the
way until they got to the statue.

They got to the statue and to their surprise no one was there. The statue was of
a big crane, it was very beautiful. Thats when Tamahome noticed it, a bright red
stone that was lodged in the cranes beak. "Its so pretty." Kohaku said
looking up at it. Tamahome reached his hand inside the beak and to his surprise
it popped out quite easily! He held it in his palm and showed it to Kohaku.
She smiled at it then asked, "Okay well isnt it supposed to show you where the
mikos are now?" Tamahome chuckled, "No you have to have all 3 stones together
before they will work and find the mikos." Kohaku sighed. "Well we better get
back then, and tell the others we found the first stone! This is so exciting!"
Kohaku ran down the path forgeting her hurt leg. Tamahome laughed and ran after
her.

*******************************

Celeste, Chichiri, Sakura, and Tasuki tredged around looking for their friends
when they stopped at the lake. They all sat down in a heap. "Im tired!"
Tasuki said yawning. "Well you shouldnt be, you slept for over an hour on the
sidewalk!" Celeste said glaring at him over the others. "Hey isnt that Tama
and Kohaku in that boat over there, no da?" Chichiri said pointing with his
staff. The others quickly got up. "Ya thats Tama." Tasuki said his eye twitching.
"And while we're tredging around lookin for the stones hes out there on a
fuckin' joy ride around the lake!"

Tamahome and Kohaku rowed the boat over to where their companions were standing.
"Hey guys!" Kohaku said waving as she got out of the boat. "Dont 'Hey Guys!' me!
What have you guys been doin all day? Swimmin?! Fuck." Kohaku sweatdropped,
"Eh, not really..." She said. She was saved from Sakuras wrath by Tamahome
hopping out of the boat with the crimson stone in hand. "Is that..." Tasuki
began. "The first stone of Suzaku, no da." Chichiri finished for him with a
smile. "This is great! Where'd you guys find it?" Celeste asked. "On Kokoro
Island." Kohaku replied pointing to the island. Celeste nodded happily then
noticed Kohakus ripped pants and hurt knees and hands. "Oi, Kohaku-chan!" She
cried pushing past Tasuki knocking him into the lake. Tasuki landed in the water
and began to thrash and scream, "HELP IM FUCKIN' DROWNIN'!!" The 5 just stood
there sweat dropping. "Eh...Tasuki, just stand up, no da." Chichiri finally said.
Tasuki stopped thrashing and shakily stood up and realized the water was only
at his ankles. Sakura walked over to him and smacked him on the back of the
head, "DUMBASS!" She yelled then walked back onto the bank with her friends.
Tasuki sweat dropped and blushed.

*****One Hour Later, At Celestes' Apartment******

"...and thats how we did it." Kohaku said finishing her tale of the events
that happend earlier in the day (Leaving out the parts about Tamahome kissing
her of course ^#^;;). Kohaku winced as Celeste pored more peroxide on her cuts.
"I think its clean now Celeste-chan. ^^;" Kohaku whined. Celeste frowned up at
her friend, "Big baby!" She said before screwing the lid back on the peroxide
bottle and fitting a big band-aid on both knees. Sakura looked at her watch.
"Jeez its 5:00! I gotta go to the party tonight!" She said jumping up and
gathering her things. "I wish you guys were invited...Ami said I could bring
my boyfriend if I wanted, but gotta have a boyfriend for that." She said half
laughing and blushing, "But I really dont wanna go alone." Tasuki stood up,
"I could go with ya if ya want?" Sakura blushed, she had secretly hoped he'd
say that, but she acted casual, "I guess that would be okay." But she couldnt
hide her big smile.
