Lost Island Dream
Chapter Two
Death By Sharpies
They all went in different directions and spent the rest of the afternoon apart. "I don't trust them," Li said to Sakura as they were walking through a part of the forest.
"Li, why can't you trust people?" asked Sakura. "Some times you need to trust people."
Li looked around. "I guess some people would call this paradise and you being here makes this place better still," said Li wrapping his arms around Sakura.
"Lets make the most of this free vacation," replied Sakura. She looked up into Li's brown eyes and he looked down into her green eyes. Their faces inched towards each other's until they met in a long, sweet, kiss. When they broke apart Sakura was hugging Li.
"I love you," she said and their lips met again in a long passionate kiss. They didn't notice the branch above them break or the thud as it landed behind them but they did notice the "Oh Shit, my arm!" that followed.
Startled the turned around to see Alice lying on the ground face up with her arm at an odd angle. Sakura rushed over to Alice. "Are you alright?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know," replied Alice. She sat up and tried to move her arm but she couldn't. "I think I broke my arm."
"I think we should go back to camp," said Li. When they got to the camp Sakura put Anna's arm in a splint.
"Why were you in that tree?" Sakura asked.
"I was trying to get a good view of the whole island," replied Alice.
"I'm glad that's all you saw," said Li.
"I also saw you and Sakura smooching," said Alice and after seeing Sakura and Li turn bright red added, "Don't worry I won't tell the others."
"That's good I don't think the others need to know about our personal relationship," said Li.
"You are lucky you got to choose who you loved," said Alice, "I was betrothed to an idiot so I ran away."
"It sounds like you are from the middle ages," said Li.
"Right now the year is 1382," replied Alice, "Do you call the time period that we are living in the middle ages?"
"Li I think I did something wrong when I used The Return Card," said Sakura.
"I agree," replied Li.
"What is this about a return card?" asked Alice.
"Nothing," replied Sakura hastily.
Just then Inu-Yasha, Kagome and Steven came back through the trees. "We found a hot spring in the middle of the island," said Kagome excitedly, "Does any one want a bath?"
Everyone got up. "Ladies first," said Alice, "And any peeping Toms that I see get a bloody nose." Alice, Kagome and Sakura started towards the hot springs followed by Li, Inu-Yasha, and Steven secretly wishing they could go first.
When they got to the ridge that surrounded Alice told the guys to wait there until they returned. When the girls climbed over the ridge they saw what looked like a cloud of steam. When they got to the bottom they saw a steaming lake surrounded by smooth rocks.
Sakura got a pile of fluffy towels and some soap from her bag. "Who wants soap and towels?" she asked.
"How did you fit all of that in your bag?" asked Kagome.
"With magic," replied Sakura, "do you want any soap or towels?"
"I would like some," said Alice taking a towel and a bar of soap.
"Do you want me to make some bubbles so we can have a giant bubble bath?" asked Sakura.
"Yes," replied Kagome that would be wonderful.
When the lake was covered in bubbles they went to different part of the lake, undressed, and sank into the warm waters.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Meanwhile the guys were waiting at the bottom of the cliff. "We better find something to amuse ourselves with because I think the girls are going to be a long time," said Inu-Yasha.
"Does anyone have a deck of cards?" Li asked.
"What is a deck of cards?" asked Steven.
"A pack of rectangular pieces of paper with symbols on them and they are used to play games," explained Li.
"I remember Miroku saying something about a deck of cards he purchased when snuck into Kagome's time," said Inu-Yasha. "When he came back he gave me a box of the things he got there. I haven't opened it. I out it in my pocket and never took it out."
"Can see what is in the box?" asked Li.
"Yeah," replied Inu-Yasha, "How old are you two any way?"
"I'm eighteen," replied Li taking the box.
"And I'm seventeen almost eighteen," added Steven.
Li took a small box of playing cards from the box and opened the packet. "Was this Miroku a pervert?" asked Li.
"I would say he would qualify for that title, why?" asked Inu-Yasha.
Li held up the cards. On the back of each one was a naked woman. "The girls won't want to play with these and this id the only deck we have," said Li.
"Do we have anything to mark over the backs of the cards with?" asked Steven.
"Yes," replied Li, "I have found a packet of sharpies." They started to color in the backs of the cards.
"Hey this marker smells funny," said Inu-Yasha.
"Stop sniffing the sharpies," commanded Steven, "You don't know what they put in those things."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
That night when they didn't smell like skunks, they sat around the fire smoking fish. They could hear the waves in the background.
"Look what I found," said Li holding up the cards that smelled strongly of sharpies.
"Lets play crazy eights," said Kagome.
They handed out the cards but there was a problem Kagome took a big sniff and started to grin. "This smells like sharpies," she said.
Alice looked at the ingredient list and raised an eyebrow. "Specially designed to give genuine hallucinations," Alice read. "Paint thinner and imported drugs have been added for supreme effect. This is in concentrate for so it will last a long time. What nut made these anyway?"
Kagome sniffed again and started giggle like a maniac. "Give me the sharpies," Steven said slowly.
"No!" Kagome screamed and tore into the woods. The others ran after her. It was a full moon and they could see everything clearly. Kagome sprinted through the brush with the rest of them at her heels. Alice recognized where Kagome was running to and knew she was heading to a cliff.
"Stop Kagome!" she yelled. "Your heading for a cliff!"
Kagome didn't stop but a blood-curling scream told them that it was too late. A few seconds late the reached the cliff edge. Sakura lost her balance so Li and Steven grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled jumping off the cliff after her. He landed on his feet and ran to where she was. "Kagome," he whispered again as he lifted her head. Giving her a look over he knew she didn't have long to live.
She looked up at him with eyes that were starting to glaze over. "Inu-Yasha," she whispered unable to speak any louder, "I should have listened to Anna and not ran off the cliff."
"I know," Inu-Yasha, replied, "It was the cards, the smell was unnatural and messed with your brain."
"What did you want to tell me back at the boat?"
Inu-Yasha's eyes filled with the tears he could no longer hold back. "I wanted to tell you I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," replied Kagome. His face was now very close to hers. She leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips and her body went limp. Inu-Yasha broke down and fell forward shaking with tears streaming down his face.
"Why? Why?" he asked himself choking on his own tears. He let out a wolf-like howl of sadness and dashed into the forest. With out Kikyo or Kagome he felt alone. No one was there for him now and he was on his own again.
Inu-Yasha ran deeper into the forest until he found a clearing with a white rock in the center. Leaning against the rock he felt like a little boy who had lost his family. All the grief that was there from Kikyo's death came out. The shock that had numbed him was gone and it had been replaced with the grief for the two people he loved. Then it hit him, the same person had died twice. He had had two chances and failed each time.
The crying subsided and was replaced with a feeling of emptiness and depression. He stared up at the stars until he slipped into an uneasy sleep with no dreams.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Li, Alice, Steven, and Sakura got down to where Kagome's body lay. They had seen what happened from the cliff and Sakura was crying. The rest of them were dismal and quiet. Even if you didn't know some one well it was still sad when they died. "I'll go get Inu-Yasha," Steven volunteered.
"Best to leave him till tomorrow," said Alice.
"Should we burn the body?" asked Li.
"I'll get the sticks," said Steven.
"No," said Alice, "Just put her bogy in that cave by the base of the cliff. There is still hope left."
"It is impossible to resurrect some one," argued Li.
"Nothing is impossible," said Alice walking away.
Li spent the whole night comforting Sakura who was crying her eyes out. Steven headed up to their camp after a while and Alice walked up the beach and out of sight.
My friend liked the death scene and she said it was sweet. Personally I don't care for it. I'm not a fan of romance. I write it for my romance loving friends.
