NOTE: I know I misspelled some names in the last chapter. The stupid spell check changed it x.x

To Magus Black: I'm guessing yes, it will probably focus on Hiei, but it's hard for me to think of something for the others to do really, just like in my Wolf's Rain fanfic, it mostly focused on Tsume and Hige and Kira, and I couldn't think of anything for the other two characters. It's how I write, I use my favorite characters to be the main characters. And just so you know, I am not American (wish I was back in Japan...), I am not a dumb ass fangirl (if I was I'd kill myself), and I do not have an IQ of a fish, though I am foolish as you mentioned. Not saying you called me anything. Read this chapter and decide for yourself if you want to keep reading. If not, sorry for wasting your time.


Chapter 2: Warmth of Daytime Sand

[Hiei]

Warmth... too much... Wake up... Wake up... Wake up... Wake up...

Hiei's eyes shot open. He was laying on cold sand with a brown blanket over him. It looked familiar. A fire was burned out at his side and only ashes remained. He saw his clothes hanging from tree branches (he has boxers on, err... I think he wears them atleast...), and someone else's clothes were too. They didn't look normal...

He was about to sit up when he realized he wasn't alone. Someone or something clung to his chest under the blanket. He reached for his sword but it was gone. He decided he could fight without it anyways. He threw the blanket off to reveal a sleeping girl. But she didn't look like a normal human, she had white cat ears and a tail.

"What the..." Hiei stared in shock.

The girl suddenly yawned and slowly opened her eyes. He quickly came to realize that they were the same color as the female's on the ship. It was most likely her, but he wasn't sure. After all, he only saw her eyes and a bit of her hair. She only wore a light pink strapless bra and underwear. She rubbed her eyes and smiled.

"Good morning." she said softly. It was definitely her, it was the same voice.

"Morning?!?! It's morning??" Hiei glanced around. The female nodded.

"The air's still a little chilly, and the sand is cold." she answered.

"W-who are you??" he backed away a little, stirring the sand a bit. "Where are we??"

"Uhh... I guess we're stranded on an island." she stood up and stretched. "And my name doesn't matter."

Hiei backed away slowly. Stranded. Island. No name. What the hell was going on??

[Kurama]

Kurama felt soaked and tired. He couldn't remember well what happened after he had tried to rescue Hiei... Hiei and the others! Where were they??

He opened his eyes and noticed half his body was on a life jacket. But just a jacket wouldn't keep him floating... He turned pale as he saw a body sticking out from one end. He hesitantly removed his arm to reveal a face of a dead man. Slightly startled, he pushed himself away from it, then paddled back to it, realizing it's the only flotation device around. He sighed and removed and life jacket from the pale white man and put it on himself. The guy was dead anyways...

Kurama pushed himself away from the body and let it float away. He took his mind off of it and glanced around for any signs of life.

[Yuusuke]

Yuusuke groaned, he didn't feel good. He felt stiff and since everything hurt, he didn't move. He had managed to grab an inner tube (that's what you call it, right?...) before the ship fully turned over. After that he had fallen asleep, but now he doesn't know for how long he had been in rest. He tried his best to lift his head up and look around. He saw pieces of the ship and furniture floating everywhere...

"What did I do to deserve this..." Yuusuke murmured.

He looked around again to see if anyone was out there, but there was no one. Just several dead bodies and floating wood. He was certainly in the middle of the ocean since he saw no signs of land.

"Great." he mumbled. "I'm stuck in the middle of the ocean... how can things get any worse..."

He let himself drift along as he thought of a way to be rescued.

[Hiei]

"Tell me your name, now!!" Hiei demanded, but the female just folded back her cat ears and stuck her tongue out at him. This infuriated him.

"If you don't tell me I'll slit your throat you..." he scowled.

The female giggled as she walked to her clothes.

"You're so cute when you're frustrated." she grinned. She grabbed his and her clothes and handed him his. She slipped on her dark red turtle-neck sleeveless shirt on with a red bell stitched onto the collar and separate sleeves that were red striped like a candy cane. Her pants legs were a trance parent looking material and the rest was a purple girl's underwear shaped thingy (I cant describe it, I'm giving myself a headache) with a blue colored cloth around the back end. To Hiei, it was definitely a strange looking outfit. He turned away and started putting on his own clothes.

[Kurama]

Nothing. Nothing at all. No life around him or even items from the ship. He figured he must have drifted off very far from where the ship sank. He sighed, closed his eyes and relaxed for the moment.

"Yuusuke..." a voice from a long distance yelled. "...Kurama... Yuusuke..."

Kurama looked up to see a dot that looked like Kuwabara. He sighed in slight relief and began swimming towards him.

[Hiei]

Hiei had slipped on his shirt when he noticed the female walking into the forest (the island is about as big as the cast away island, maybe smaller). He ran ahead of her and stopped her.

"Just tell me who you are and how you got into Ningenkai." Hiei said calmly, trying not to let the same thing happen like before. The female smiled.

"Others call me by Kurumi." she finally answered. "... and I don't know what you're talking about, 'how I got into Ningenkai'... Ive always been here."

She walked around Hiei, and as she passed, she tickled his nose with her tail purposely. He rubbed his nose and turned to face her.

"Where are you going?" he asked, or demanded, sounded in between.

"I'm going to explore the area a bit." she answered. "Maybe find some food or a nice shelter... I'll be back."

Hiei stared blankly at her for a moment while she walked away, then turned around back to where he first was. He grabbed his sword that was resting on a tree as he walked by it.

[Kurama]

"Kuwabara! Are you alright?" Kurama asked as he approached Kuwabara. He was holding onto a piece of driftwood.

"Yeah, I'm fine." he replied. "Where's Urameshi and Hiei?"

"I'm not sure, we all must have gotten separated."

"It was creepy, the last time I saw Hiei was when he was dragged into the water by someone... not that I really care. And Urameshi jumped in to go save him, so I dived in after him..."

Kurama suddenly took off his life jacket and held onto the driftwood. He handed the jacket to Kuwabara.

"What?" he looked confused.

"You only have swim shorts on, you must be cold."

"Nah, I'm fine." Kazuma's teeth chattered as he shivered from the cold water. "Okay, maybe I do need it. Thanks."

He grabbed the life jacket and buckled it on.

"So what do we exactly do now?..." he asked.

"We just have to hope that we come across land or a boat comes by and sees us." Kurama answered seriously. Kazuma nodded and looked down.

"I hope we don't come across any sharks." he chuckled.

Kurama didn't find that amusing.

[Yuusuke]

Yuusuke woke up again. He figured he must have fallen asleep being cradled by the ocean waves. But this time everything was still. He had landed on land.

"What? I drifted onto land??" he stood up and looked around.

"Aw shit." he grumbled as he saw he was just on a small island. (not the same one as Hiei's by the way)

Atleast he was on land, he was glad of that. But he didn't have any clothes but swim shorts, and the island wasn't very big and only had a small forest which probably didn't have much vegitation...

[Hiei]

Hiei sat on the now-warming-up sand and thought for a while.

How could that demon think she was always here?... she's a demon, she isn't from here... is she?...

He was lost in his thoughts for a while until he felt slightly hungry. He stared at the ocean and got an idea.

End of Chapter Two.


NOTE: Is that better MB? err... somewhat I guess. I gave each character something to do. Now to edit and spell check... yeay! Two chapters in one day!... sorta... it's midnight now...
