Special Moments with You Only by Takeshi-Chan
Chapter 5- First Priority
"Ahhh!!" Sakuno fell into Ryoma's arms.
"Let's go outside!" Ryoma held onto her wrist, led her outside with his racket in one hand, and stuffed his tennis ball in his black shorts.
"Everyone, get on the boats! The engine exploded and this ship will be shattered into pieces! Hurry!!" A sailor yelled and signaled everyone to head in that direction.
Ryoma let go of his firm wrap around Sakuno's hand to hold her own into his so they can run easier. They ran with the horde of people that pushed them so they themselves can save their family or friends' lives including their own.
As Sakuno and Ryoma jumped onto a boat, Sakuno yelled, "I forgot about the presents everyone gave me!! I have to get them back!!" Sakuno jumped off and ran back to the cabin in a hurry.
"Oy!! Forget about them!" Ryoma ran after Sakuno, afraid that he would be blamed for her death...if he lived that is...
Sakuno pushed open the cabin door and quickly stashed everything into her luggage. Ryoma appeared behind her when she was finally done packing them. Then another explosion could be heard. Fires trapped them inside the cabin. It was too late to run back to the boats now...
Ryoma looked around him for any escape route. He looked around frantically and saw the window. "That's right! The window leads to the water!"
Ryoma grabbed the two sheets on the bed and wrapped one around Sakuno while he used the other sheet to for his left hand. He broke open the window and took Sakuno's luggage with his right hand. In a rush he took off the sheet and wrapped his left arm around Sakuno to prepare to jump off.
"Let's go" Ryoma jumped at the same time as Sakuno, who had her eyes shut and her arms wrapped around Ryoma's waist.
SPLASH!
They floated on the water as the ship exploded into pieces...They became unconscious from the explosion...
---As the water calmed down, two bodies washed ashore onto an uninhabited island---
"W-what happened...my head hurts..." Sakuno slowly stood up and rubbed her eyes. Then the memories of what happened flashed into her mind.
"Ryoma-kun! Where are you!?" Sakuno searched for the green haired boy.
Fortunately, he was not too far from Sakuno with the big luggage near him.
"Ryoma-kun! Daijoubu?" Sakuno shook him gently in case he had any injuries on him.
"Mmm...Guhh..." Ryoma opened his eyelids and looked at Sakuno's worried face. "Where am I..?" Ryoma asked.
"I-I don't know! I think we're s-stranded on an island..." Sakuno examined her surroundings.
Ryoma quietly got up and observed everything. "You're so troublesome..."
"Gomen nasai Ryoma-kun...I just couldn't abandon the presents every got me...especially yours..." Sakuno looked at the soft sand beneath her.
"Can't do anything about it now, can we...Let's just forget about it...What are we going to do now?"
"I think...the proper t-thing to do is...find shelter..." Sakuno twiddled her fingers.
"You're right..." Ryoma picked up the luggage and walked ahead of Sakuno in search of a home.
Suddenly, Ryoma's racket washed ashore and he picked it up gratefully.
"Thank god my racket is okay..." Ryoma wiped off all the sand, put it in the luggage, and continued to look for shelter.
Luckily, there was a large forest that they could be protected from the harsh sun. Ryoma halted and said, "We're staying here..."
"Here...? There's nothing here that will help us!"
"Not here...I meant there..." Ryoma pointed at the cave.
They entered silently and it was immensely cold inside.
"It will have to do..."
"Hai..." Sakuno rubbed her arms to keep herself warm.
"For the mean time...Let's look for food..."
Sakuno nodded and followed Ryoma.
---Seigaku's Sleepover---
"Let's watch T.V. nya!" Eiji jumped on Tezuka's couch and flipped on the T.V.
"An explosion on a particular ship happened today. It was a cruise that was heading towards Hawaii. Many made it back safely while a few didn't manage to survive. Some that didn't make it was...Ryusaki Sakuno, Echizen Ryoma, etc"
"Nya!! O-chibi and his date have gone missing!!" Eiji jumped up and everyone turned around to hear the devastating news.
"I still think Echizen and Ryusaki are still alive..."Fuji shared his thoughts and instincts with his friends.
"What are we still doing here?! Let's go to the police station and tell them that we want to be part of their search party for those who been lost in the ship!! I still believe they're alive!!" Momo shouted as he bolted out of the room.
"He's right...Let's go!!" Oishi shouted.
---Police Station---
"We demand to be part of your search party for those missing last night in the ship's explosion!" Momo slammed his hand hard on the desk although it hurt a lot.
"We can't allow that to happen! You guys are just teenagers!" A policeman protested.
"Please let us join!!" Taka exclaimed.
"We told you we can't allow it to happen!" The policeman repeated.
Then an idea occurred in Oishi's mind. He grabbed the racket he brought along. "Here Taka"
"Huh?" Taka took the grip of the handle.
"BURNING!!! We have to join!! We know two people who went missing and we want to find them as soon as possible!! BURNING!!!" Taka shouted in a fierce tone.
"We said no!! Cause any more disruptions and I will arrest you!" The chief officer walked up.
"But w-" Oishi was stopped by Fuji.
"Let me handle this easily..." Fuji walked up to the policeman and said, "I'll make a deal with you...If you all drink our teammate's juice and survive...we will leave you alone...BUT if you don't survive, you'll take us with you..."
"Hah! What juice?" Every police officer was laughing at the bet made with them. "Fine...we'll take on your bet! It'll be easy!"
"Inui...you can do the rest" Fuji smiled evilly.
Inui passed each police officer a small cup of INUI JUICE. They laughed hard until they finally drank it...
"Chief...chief...save meeeeeeeeee...." Each person fell down and fainted.
"W-what the!?" the chief yelled. "What did you put in it?! Poison!?"
"I'll show you there's no poison in it..." Fuji bravely took a cup from Inui's tray and drank it. "See? I'm fine"
"I-I can't believe it...my crew been knocked out with such a powerful drink...I can't back out on the bet...my police pride is on the line..."
"Well...!?" Seigaku yelled out of impatient.
"Fine! You guys can join...but stay out of our way okay!?"
"Deal!!" Eiji cheered.
---Ryoma and Sakuno---
"These berries will help..." Sakuno picked the berries and put it in one of the present bags she received.
Meanwhile, Ryoma went hunting and with no luck he didn't catch anything.
Ryoma went back to the cave to start a fire when Sakuno came back with loads of fruits.
"No luck Ryoma-kun?"
"No..." Ryoma tried to spark it up with two rocks but it didn't light up. After a few minutes he decided to try to use a twig. He rubbed the twig between both of his hands and smoke started to appear on the kindling after a half hour or so.
"You did it!! I didn't know you knew a lot about these things" Sakuno clapped her hands.
"I went camping a lot in America..." Ryoma quickly shoved his hands in his pockets.
Sakuno sat on the floor with her knees up to her chin when she noticed some ivory liquid that trickled down his leg...
"Ryoma-kun!! Your hands are bleeding!!" Sakuno rushed to his side and took out his left hand.
"I'm fine!" Ryoma shoved his hand back into his pockets.
"No, it isn't!" Sakuno ripped off a part of her sleeve on both sides and wrapped them around both of his hands.
"That wasn't necessary!" Ryoma walked away from her to the opposite side and leaned on it.
"You should really take care of yourself..."
"My first priority is to take care of you since I promised your grandma I wouldn't let anything happen to you..." Ryoma looked at the blue skies right outside the cave.
"This is the first...time...I seen him like this...he's more courageous and caring than I ever imagined..." Sakuno looked at Ryoma's face.
"Let's not let the fire waste...we should warm ourselves up!" Sakuno smiled sweetly.
"I made that for you since you don't have a jacket like me...I'll try to look for more food..." and with that, Ryoma left Sakuno to cuddle herself around the warm fire.
---After Ryoma came back and they ate their fruits in silent---
"Its night...and it's cloudy...it might rain..." Ryoma looked up at the grayish sky and the moon was barely visible.
"We should sleep then..." Sakuno yawned.
"I agree..."
"Oyasuminasai..."
"Oyasuminasai..." Ryoma sat down Indian-style, crossed his arms, and lowered his head.
---Middle of the night---
"Mhmm...I can't sleep..." Ryoma opened his eyes and stood up. It was insomnia that kept him awake and afraid that if he didn't stand guard, animals would enter.
It probably began to rain two hours ago and it got heavy...Ryoma sat on the opposite side of Sakuno and made sure the fire wouldn't go out.
"Ah-Choo!" Sakuno sniffed and began to rub her arms.
Ryoma sighed and unzipped his jacket. He laid it on Sakuno and returned to his spot. Sakuno smiled in her dreams and held Ryoma's red jacket tightly.
"You really can be bothersome sometimes...but you can easily be forgiven..." Ryoma stared at her happy face.
