CAUTION: mild Drinking in this chapter!

Another chapter. and I'm taking a reviewer's suggestion- I'm gonna go slow and add detail to the chapters so everyone can understand!

Kaoru: That's probably the smartest idea you've had in ages!

Talk all you want, Kamiya! Soon I'm gonna be seen in high places, and don't worry- I will forget you, Kaoru, a little person!

Kaoru sat angrily slumped herself onto the floor and opened the bottle of wine. She kept drinking and drinking. Shortly after, Shinta came out and took a seat beside her. "You seemed kinda down," Shinta said. "Why do you care?" Kaoru angrily asked. "You were having a good time! What'd you follow me for?" "Because I didn't like any of those girls around me," Shinta confessed. Kaoru's heart lightened. "Not even Megumi?" Kaoru asked, trying not to show that she was happy. "She's really nice," Shinta said. "But she's just not my type." "Oh," Kaoru said. "That's too bad."

Kaoru took another gulp of wine. "Give me some," Shinta said. "No," Kaoru said scooting away. Kaoru continued to drink. Shinta suddenly grabbed the bottle from Kaoru and began to drink himself. "Give that back!" Kaoru demanded. Shinta ignored her. "Fine," Kaoru whispered. "Be that way."

Kaoru got up and took a seat in a nearby lifeboat. "Now you'll have to enjoy the stars by yourself!" Kaoru said. After awhile, Kaoru fell asleep. Shinta was drunk at the moment and things got spinney. He got sleepy and laid down beside Kaoru.

The next morning, Kaoru was the first one to wake up. She looked around her- all was blue and sunny. She thought it was a dream- ~No! It's not a dream! I was on a lifeboat, I think I fell asleep.~ Kaoru looked down. She was on a lifeboat! ~.in the lifeboat!~ Kaoru screamed.

Kaoru's scream woke Shinta up. "What happened?" Shinta asked. "You tell me!" Kaoru hollered. "Look around you!" Shinta looked around- everything was blue and sunny. Shinta screamed even louder. "How do you think we got here?" Shinta asked. "You tell me," Kaoru said. "You were the last on this boat. It's probably your weight!" "I beg your pardon?" Shinta asked. "I'm not the Little Miss Princess!" "I am healthy and fit!" Kaoru said. "You can even ask my doctor!" "Well I'm as healthy as you are!" Shinta said. They angrily stared at each other in silence.

Hours went by and Kaoru decided to be nice. "Imagine we're Adam and Eve," Kaoru said happily. "Everything around us is beautiful, just as it was when God sent Adam and Eve down to Earth!" "I don't want to be 'Adam' around someone who's so stubborn," Shinta answered stubbornly. "Stubborn?" Kaoru asked. "I'm the one trying to make the best out of things!"

Then, Kaoru spotted and. "Look, and island!" she said pointing to it. "Isn't it beautiful?" "Iie," Shinta answered. "It's hideous!" Kaoru pinched Shinta in the shoulder. "Lighten up, will you?" Kaoru said. "Okay, okay," Shinta said. "I give up." "Good," Kaoru said. "Now pull the boat up to the shore. I'm too short to do so."

"It's more beautiful than I imagined," Kaoru said under her breath as she stepped onto the sand. "It's still hideous," Shinta mumbled. "Say something?" Kaoru asked. "Iie," Shinta answered.

Shinta turned on his heel and headed toward the trees. "Where are you going?" Kaoru called after him. Shinta turned around and answered, "I'm going to McDonald's to buy me a hamburger!" "Ah!" Kaoru said. "I'm a vegetarian, baka!" "No, stupid," Shinta said. "I'm going buy ME: myself, I- not you, but ME a hamburger!" "You do know this an uncharted island, ne?" Kaoru asked putting her hands on her hips. "Hai," Shinta answered. "Can't you rich people take a joke?"

Long moments later, Kaoru heard someone call her. "Kaoru!" the voice called. She realized it was Shinta's voice. "Shinta!" she called back. "Where are you?" She ran around everywhere, looking for him. "Shinta!" she was getting worried. She looked into the blue and saw Shinta. His arms were flying out everywhere and he was screaming. "Shinta, I'm coming!" Kaoru cried diving into the water.

I'm sorry; I just had to do a cliffhanger. Some readers, I apologize if this chappie was short- but there will be LOTS of detail in the next chapter. But I have to get reviews in order to do the next chapter. You know what to do, so do it!
