Lost Island Dream
Chapter Three
Ouch

Dawn arrived turning the sky the color of a grape fruit. No one on the island stirred. It rose until it was close to noon before any human activity took place. Li woke up on a beach when a big wave crashed on him. He got up rather groggy and looked around. Further up the beach he Saw Sakura still asleep and the cave where Kagome was.

Li walked up the beach and looked down at her. It seemed like her troubles had passed with the night. He needed to wake himself up so he stripped down to his boxers for an early morning swim. The cool see and the crashing waves woke him up. The water was clear so he swam passed the waves and looked down. To his surprise he saw a mermaid. He took a deep breath and swam towards her. She had long, blonde hair and her tail was three times the length of her body.

She saw him and waved. She opened he mouth opened and a strange, beautiful music filled the water. The song was magical but before he had time to react it had filled his mind and he was under her spell. Before he knew what was happening her hands were around his neck and she was holding him down.

Li began to feel light headed and he realized he was running out of air. Franticly he tried to push her away from him but her grip around his neck was tight. He saw a shape above him and blacked out.

He woke up on the beach to see Alice leaning over him. "Never do that again," said Alice, "You need to brush your teeth."

"You save me," he managed to say.

"I thought that Sakura didn't need any more grief."

"What was that thing?"

"A cross between a kelpie and a siren. She was trying to drown you so she could eat you for dinner."

"How did you know to come?"

"I just knew. Now I'm going up to the camp for some food."

Alice strode off towards the forest and was soon out of sight. Li sat back down. He never thought it would be that tiring to almost drown. He found a soft spot and went to sleep again.

Steven was preparing lunch when he saw Anna. "Hello," he said, "Why are you so wet?"

"I went for a swim," replied Alice. "What is for lunch?"

"There is still some fish from last night."

"I'm going to be sick of fish before long. Isn't there any other type of food on this island?"

They ate their lunch and when they were done Anna got up.

"Where are you going?" asked Steven.

"To wash off the salt, it is beginning to feel all icky."

Steven cleaned up the lunch stuff and looked around for something to do. The cards still smelled and the deck wasn't complete. Steven decided to take a nap.

Alice finished her bath half an hour later and went off to find Inu- Yasha. It was not hard for her. All she did was walk of in the general direction that he had run off in and soon found him asleep by a rock. Alice shook him a bit but he didn't stir. She shook him harder but it had no effect so she walked off and came back holding a bucket of water which she poured on his head.

"What did you do that for?" he yelled.

"I had to wake you up," replied Alice.

"Well I didn't want to wake up. There is nothing here for me since Kagome is dead."

"Why does Kagome's death mean the end of the world?"

"She is gone! She is never going to walk under the sun again!"

"Nothing is finial until time stops."

"It's not like you can bring her back."

"Actually I might be able to."

"I don't believe you," said Inu-Yasha stubbornly. Alice grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the forest.

"Let go of me!" he yelled. "You don't have power over death! We are all doomed, doomed, doomed!"

Alice slapped him. "Got a hold of your self," she yelled. "You are doomed if that is how you think. Right now I would say you are a sissy and a cry baby who is afraid to face the world!"

Inu-Yasha stopped struggling against her grip and glared at her. "What did you call me?" he asked with anger rising in his voice.

"A sissy and a cry baby," replied Alice.

"I'm not a sissy or a cry baby and if you ever call me those names again I'll kill you."

"Oh, I'm scared the coward is going to try and kill me."

"You b*tch."

Before Inu-Yasha knew what was happening he was on his back and blood was gushing from his nose that felt like it was broken. Inu-Yasha got to his feet and lunged at Alice. Alice dogged but Inu-Yasha twisted around in mid air and dug his claws into her back. Alice stumbled forward and found where Inu-Yasha had left Tetsusaiga.

Alice turned around and thrust the sword through Inu-Yasha's shoulder as he lunged forward again. He kept falling and shoved Alice into a tree. While Anna rubbed her head and got up he tied to pull out Tetsusaiga but he couldn't for some reason. Alice got up and looked around. She hadn't noticed before but they were near the edge of the forest and by the cliff that ran along one side of the island.

Alice stepped back a bit and her foot was at the edge of the cliff. Looking down she saw a 45ft drop. Then Alice saw Inu-Yasha running towards her with his claws out looking murderous. "Stop!" she yelled. "You'll shove us both." But it was too late Inu-Yasha didn't stop in time. Crashing into Alice he sent them both of the cliff. The impact knocked Alice out and drove the sword deeper into Inu-Yasha's shoulder.

Inu-Yasha got up and considered killing Alice for a moment but then he saw Li and Sakura coming around the bend so he ran back up the cliff.

When Sakura saw Alice she ran over to her and Li followed. "Alice, Alice, are you okay?" she asked.

"Alice's unconscious," Li pointed out.

"What could have happened?"

"We should take her back to the camp we have set up," said Li as he started to pick her up.

"Look at her back!" exclaimed Sakura. Li hoisted Alice over his shoulder and carried her to the camp.
