Chp. 2 of the island
Discalimers: See chap. 1
Sakura stood poised on the diving board as Syoaran watched from below. She launched herself forward bounced on the balls of her feet and jumped in the air doing a summersault before diving into the cool water below her. The cold water felt nice against her warm skin. She kicked hard for the surface and gasped in the warm air.
Syaoran smiled at her then climbed out to do his own dive. He managed to pull off a double summersault and dive cleanly in. Sakura half smiled at him as he surfaced.
"Trying to show me up Syoaran?" she asked jokingly.
"Of course not." he said splashing water at her.
Sakura laughed and splashed him back. A water fight ensued and by the time it was over both were out of breath and energy. They swam for the steps and climbed out.
Sakura grabbed her towel, and quickly rubbed it over her head before wrapping it around her body. Syoaran quickly toweled his hair and upper body before wrapping it around his waist.
The sunny sky was quickly fading to a dark and star filled night, as twilight settled over the mid-size boat. They walked towards the railing and just looked out at the endless expanse of ocean that surrounded them. Syoaran was completely silent as was Sakura, totaly lost in their own thoughts, when a sudden wave wracked the boat.
Sakura looked up at Syoaran with a panicked expression. His calm look immeadiately settled the fear welling up in her. She smiled up at him as the boat took another hit from a wave. Syoaran's calm look was quickly evaporating as another wave shook the vessel. Sakura felt water on her feet and looked down at the water slopping onto the deck. She just looked up as a wave pulled her over the edge and into the dark swelling ocean below.
"SAKURA!!!!" Syoaran cried diving overboard. He searched wave after wave for any sign of her, when a pink ribbon caught his attention.
/No, no, she can't, she's alive!/.
His mind screamed for him to do something and he swam towards the ribbon diving under the water. A soft glow caught his attention as he tried to sense Sakura's power.
/There!/ his mind cried out /Below Me/
Syoaran dove further and reached for the pale outstretched hand. He pulled Sakura towards him and pressed his lips to hers, giving her the little oxygen he had left before kicking hard for the surface. Finally he boke theough, carefully making sure Sakura's head was above the water. He swam for the boat, noticing the waves were receding. A life saver was thrown out and they were towed up. Sakura sputtered and coughed, clearing the water from her lungs.
"Syoaran..." she started before everything went black.
