To Touya4me: Ok... thanks, I never really threw up in my life so I never knew...
To HieiLover: It's funny? I never really noticed. I guess it is a little...
To Magus Black: Thank you n.n I hope you continue reading this fanfic till the end.
To Akane: Don't worry... I type fast and I have way too much time on my hands. I'm sure I can get atleast a chapter done every 2 days or so.
To Hiei's FireAngel: Yay!
NOTE: Sorry for late update...I had a little writer's block... I wasn't sure if I should write this chapter the way it is... but yeah. I also got into a funny Inuyasha fanfic so I was reading that for 2 days. And school was kinda depressing me, so I didn't feel like writing that time, otherwise I would start writing depressing parts in the story (points to my wolf's rain fanfic as an example).
Chapter 5: Wake Up
"...Will you be here,
or will I be alone?
Will I be scared?
You'll teach me how to be strong.
If I fall down,
will you help me carry on?
I cannot do this alone..."
- "Stay" by 12 Stones (Potter's Field)
(Hiei)
Hiei woke up the next day in an uncomfortable position, he was twisted up in a strange way. He untangled himself and sat up, he noticed his hair frizzed out on one side. He tried to comb it back to normal with his fingers, but it didn't help much. He glanced at Kurumi.
Several scratch marks marked the cave wall near her. Her face was a little red and she shivered
"Hey," he poked her, no response. "Hey. You."
She quickly rolled over to face him, but didn't open her eyes. He remembered something Kurama did to him a when he was vomiting on the ship. He had put his hand to his forehead and said he was checking if he had a fever. He later explained to him that it was a sickness that you can get from being cold and wet for a long time.
(orr... something like that, I never thought about what caused a fever or any symptoms of it...)
Hiei hesitated for a moment to check for her temperature, but she seemed to be in pain so he just lightly touched her forehead with his finger tips. He moved it away quickly, and she was definitely burning up.
(Yuusuke)
Yuusuke dived out of the burrow and stretched immediately. He was cramped in the burrow and it hurt his back being curled up in a ball all night. He hunched over and walked to the beach to find breakfast...
When he arrived, he saw a bunch of coconuts along the forest edge. The hurricane/storm had knocked most of them off the tree. He ran to the nearest one and picked it up.
"Oh joy, more coconuts." he mumbled. Atleast he had food, he was thankful for that.
Suddenly a coconut fell from the tree and hit his head.
"Fuck!" he screamed, dropped the coconut he had and held his head. "That fuckin' hurt like hell!! Stupid tree!!"
He kicked the tree, but remembered he didn't have any shoes on.
"OW!! Mother fuckin'..." he aimed his spirit gun at it. "DIE!!"
He blasted it and it slowly made it's way to the ground. He lifted his head high and smirked in victory, but he didn't notice it falling towards him... It knocked him down to the ground with it. He squirmed under the tree helplessly.
"Why me..." Yuusuke mumbled and let the tree rest on his back.
(Kurama and Kuwabara)
Kurama woke as a wave splashed over him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a foot in his face.
"Kuwabara!!" he yelled and backed away form the driftwood. He swam to Kuwabara and held onto his life jacket to stay above the water. He wasn't awake yet.
"Kuwabara, wake up!" Kurama shook him. "Move your foot!"
Kuwabara snorted awake. He rubbed his eyes and turned his stiff neck.
"Oh, hey, Kurama..." he murmured. "What's up?"
"Could you move your foot away from my side of the driftwood?" he asked politely.
"Yeah, sure whatever." Kuwabara pulled his foot away from the driftwood and put it in the water.
"You don't have to move it from the driftwood, I just need some space to hang onto it." said Kurama.
"Nah, it's okay. It doesn't hurt in the water anymore."
"But it still could get infected...
"Nah." Kuwabara grinned. Kurama frowned and swam back to the driftwood.
(Hiei)
Hiei crawled back into the cave with his shirt soaked wet for Kurumi. He placed it on her forehead, thats what Kurama had said to do if someone had a fever...
He had also fixed his hair with water. It worked well. Kurumi opened her eyes a little and smiled up at Hiei.
"What?" he looked away.
"Thank you."
"I'm just helping you because you know more about this survival stuff around here." he said coldly, but it had no effect on Kurumi as if she didn't hear him. She grabbed his hand and held it and fell asleep. He was about to pull it away, but she looked too peaceful sleeping that way. He knew inside that he didn't mean what he said, and it seemed like she knew too.
Hiei opened his other hand to reveal her bell in it. He had found it on the way to the beach.
(Yuusuke)
Yuusuke had made his way out from under the tree. He grabbed a coconut and walked to the rock he used before to crack it open. He banged the coconut onto the rock and it opened up. He ripped piece by piece off to make sure the milk inside of it would stay in it. He was thirsty and he couldn't drink salt water...
After he had his little breakfast, he lay on the sand in the sun. He didn't really know what to do on a small island but sit there and eat while waiting for someone to rescue him.
(Hiei)
Kurumi woke up, but she didn't see Hiei there. She sat up and looked around. He wasn't in the cave.
"Hiei?..." she crawled out of the cave."Hiei??"
She stood up but felt dizzy so she fell to her knees. She slowly crawled along the path they took to get to the cave. She slowly reached the beach.
"Hiei?" he wasn't around.
She tried standing up again and now she wasn't as dizzy, but she felt really sick. She walked back to the cave but took another path near it which lead to the little waterfall in the middle of the island which was connected to the small river that went around the island (did you follow that?). Maybe he had went there to bathe or something (not that she wanted to interrupt but she was curious where he was, she was worried).
She pushed past the bushes.
"Hiei-eeeeeeeeek!!" she screeched and covered her eyes, blushing a little. (she didn't see anything, just saw him going into the water)
Hiei quickly dropped down into the water up to his nose.
"What the fuck are you doing here??" he hissed.
"I was wondering where you were!!" she curled up into a ball on the ground with her back turned to Hiei. He got out of the water and put his pants on and walked over to Kurumi.
"Feel any better?" he asked, but it sounded like a sentence.
"A little." she replied quietly.
A silence was between them for a while.
"...I-Im sorry, I'll go back to the cave." she stood up but suddenly lost conscious. She fell forward, but Hiei instinctively caught her.
"What the..." he was confused why she suddenly fell and why he had caught her. He frowned and set her down gently. He grabbed his shirt, soaked it in the water, and placed it on her forehead. He stared down at her for a moment, then returned to his bathing.
End of Chapter 5.
NOTE: Yeah yeah, I know, this chapter was short, but like I said, I'm having a writer's block. I probably wont be updating for a bit.
