The thunder roared loudly as the boat swayed in the water. Tohru stirred in her sleep and looked out the window. A flash of lightning lit up the sky and she jumped a little, waking up Yuki.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" he murmured opening his eyes.

"I... I'm sorry," Tohru said nervously. "The weather's really bad out there. Do you think its safe to be out on the ocean like this?"

"Mmm, probably," he yawned sleepily, rolling onto his side and pulling her closer.

Tohru tried to close her eyes and go back to sleep beside Yuki but the thunder rumbled above them, and she remained awake.









Kyo looked at his clock again, feeling anxiety well up inside him. Damn it. Why did he let Kagura go on deck? She had promised to be back soon, after she retrieved something from her room. What if something had happened to her? What if she fell overboard? And with the storm as bad as it was right now and the ship lurching back and forth, why did he let her go? Groaning, he opened his door and climbed up a few stairs to the deck. Rain pelted down on him heavily as he made his way to Kagura's room.

A figure lay motionless near the railing as Kyo walked over. Under the glare of the flashing lightening, he knew his fears had come to life. Kagura lay unconscious on the floor, blood pooling around her head. Shit, Kyo thought frantically running to her. She must have slipped on the wet boards and hit her head against the railing. Water ran down his face in streams down his face as he went to her side, and lifted her slightly in his arms. "Ka... Kagura?"

There was no response and Kyo was beginning to panic. Her damp hair clung to her face as he lifted her up in his arms, and struggled to his feet. With another crash of thunder roaring in the sky, the boat lurched to the side, throwing the two off the ship and into the dark, raging waters.









Sighing, Tohru placed a hand on Yuki's face and waited for him to open his eyes. "Yuki-kun," she said quietly. "I can't sleep."

"How come?" he mumbled, half consciously.

"The storm is keeping me awake."

"Uh huh..." Yuki could barely hear her. He was still slumbering in dream land.

Tohru's ears perked up as she heard a small voice coming from outside. "Yuki-kun, do you hear that?"

Yuki's response was a soft snore.

"Yuki-kun, I think I heard a voice from outside. Do you think they want something?"

Finally Yuki's eyelids fluttered opened and he sat up in bed, yawning and stretching his arms over his head. "All right," he reassured sleepily. "I'll go see what they want." He went to the door of the room and opened it, peeking outside. "There's no one here," he said finally turning to her.

"That's funny," Tohru mused standing up and stepping to the door as well. "I could have sworn..." Then the voice came again, a soft crying out in the distance. Rain was hitting the two in the face as they surveyed the area, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.

"Its coming from the water," Yuki said suddenly, his voice finally alert. He ran up a couple stairs to the deck and leaned over the railing. There he saw Kyo flailing frantically in the water, trying to hold Kagura up as well.

"Oh my god!" Tohru cried, her hand going to her mouth. "We have to do something!"

Yuki's mind was racing. What should they do? What could they do? "H... Honda-san," he said quickly. "Go wake the others. I'll try and pull them in." Tohru nodded and ran off while Yuki located a large donut shaped life preserver with a rope attached to it and tossed it into the water. Holding onto the rope securely, he waited for Kyo to get to the life preserver, and once the cat seemed to have a strong hold on it, Yuki began to pull the rope toward the boat.

Kagura was finally coming to, panic overcoming her. "What's going on!" she coughed as water splashed over her face.

"Just shut up and hold on!" Kyo shouted as she grabbed at the preserve Yuki was trying to pull in. However, it was too much weight and too much force, fighting against the raging waves, and Yuki was not succeeding.

Tohru came running back, panting. "I woke up the captain and the others," she said frantically. Seeing Yuki's distress, she grabbed hold of the rope as well and tried to help pull the two at sea in.

"Damn it," Yuki muttered. "We're... we're not strong enough." The boat then did another dive forward, and suddenly all Yuki could feel was air beneath his feet.

"Yuki-kun!" Tohru cried grabbing his hand. She was pulled with him at that moment and the two went flying into the water.

Gasping, Yuki swam up to the surface, the waves crashing over his face. He looked around wildly for Tohru, but couldn't find her. Finally, he dunked his head under water, searching for her. He found her limp body floating down slowly and disappearing into the depths of the ocean. Swimming down to her, he grabbed her arm tightly and swam back up to the surface. Kyo was waiting beside him with the life preserver.

"Are you guys okay?" he yelled over the loud storm.

"Y... Yeah," Yuki said grabbing hold of the donut as well. He pulled Tohru over it, his worried eyes skimming over her face. "I.. I think she's all right."

"Agh!" Kyo shouted. "No one's all right yet!" A giant wave fell over them, temporarily dunking them under water till the flotation device pulled them up again.

"Hold on!!" Yuki called loudly. "No matter what, nobody let go!"













There was darkness before the light. Bright, bright light. It hurt his eyes. He opened them slowly and found himself staring into a beautiful pale face. An angel, Yuki thought. I must have died. I died in the storm, in the water, in the waves... His mind felt foggy as he as he lay there against the warm sand. Sand, was that what this was? It was grainy and rough beneath his skin. The sun, was so bright. Was there sand and sunshine in heaven?

Sitting up slowly, Yuki felt a horrible ache in his muscles. It hurt all over. What was this pain? The angel... is Tohru? Yuki wondered as he looked down at her. Did she die too? The fuzziness was slowly fading away and Yuki was beginning to comprehend things again. No, he was alive. But... but Tohru. "Honda-san?" Yuki whispered, his voice hoarse. "T... Tohru?"

Tohru lay quiet, unmoving beside him. "Please Honda-san," Yuki said again, his voice filled with fear. "Please answer me." Dipping his head by her chest, he listened carefully for any sign of life. A faint heartbeat echoed from her chest and Yuki breathed out a huge sigh of relief. "Oh thank god," he murmured resting a hand on her face. "Thank you god."

Stirring slightly, Tohru began to cough, water spitting up from her mouth. Groaning, she opened her eyes, squinting under the harsh light. "Y... Yuki-kun," she choked.

Yuki pulled her up and wrapped his arms tightly around her, not caring that he would transform. "You're okay," he whispered to himself. "You're okay."

The mouse that now sat before her, blinked brightly, climbing onto her leg. "Y... Yuki-kun. Where are we?"

"I don't know," the mouse sighed looking away. "I just came to a minute before you did."

"Are... Kyo-kun and Kagura-san all right?"

"I haven't seen them," Yuki admitted.

Tohru picked up the mouse in her hands as she struggled to her feet. "We have to find them," she said frantically. "We have to find out if they're okay."

"Tohru!!!" a female voice called loudly from the distance.

"Kagura-san?" Tohru asked turning to the voice.

"Oh Tohru!" Kagura cried out tearfully. "I can't find Kyo-kun anywhere. I woke up and I was over there in this pile of debris and I was so afraid. Where's Kyo-kun! Where is he!" During this time, Yuki changed back into a guy and was quickly pulling his clothes back on.

"I... I haven't seen him," Tohru said apologetically. "I'm sorry. We can go look for him now though."

"What if he drowned," Kagura sobbed loudly into her hands. "What if he's lost in the ocean somewhere."

"Please don't cry Kagura-san," Yuki said placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure he's too stupid to die. We'll find him."

Kagura nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes.














After circling the area around the beach and finding nothing, they wandered a little deeper to another area by the water. "This must be an island," Yuki said in awe. "We've almost gone around this entire place already."

"Where are all the people," Kagura complained. "I haven't see one store or house anywhere yet."

"Maybe there are no people," Tohru suggested.

Kagura shivered at that thought. "Then how are we going to get off?" she murmured quietly. She gasped suddenly, making out a figure near the other shore. "I... Its Kyo-kun!" she shouted happily running to him. He appeared to be unconscious, laying on a bed of dead grass. "Oh Kyo-kun!" Kagura exclaimed again as she leaned over him. "I shall give you my CPR of love!"

"CPR of love?" Tohru asked uncertainly as Kagura covered Kyo's lips with her own and kissed him passionately.

"Mmm," came Kyo's muffled protests as he woke up. He pushed Kagura away, gasping for breath. "Damn it! I couldn't breath!"

"Yay!! Kyo-kun!" Kagura sang. "My CPR of love has revived you!"

"Ugh, where the hell are we anyway?" Kyo asked looking around.

"I have no idea," Tohru said quietly.
