A/N: Um...sorry about the cliffhanger. I could have wrote more but to be honest, I ran out of words and that's why I stopped it there. Sorry this chapter might be boring because I found it hard to concentrate. School is starting soon in...checking the calendar... September 9th? Wow, I still got two more weeks! Well, thanks for the reviews, I'll write the special thanks on the next chapter if I get some more. I'm really glad people like it. Thanks!

Recap:
"Yama...." Sora brought her chin up to face me, she had never looked so serious in her life, a pair of large ruby eyes meet my deep blue ones, "I think I have found that person, I'm just shy to admit it, I'm afraid he might...he might."
"He might what?" I asked.
"He mi-- forget it! It's nothing." She stuttered timidly and turned to face the wall.
"No, go on...." I whispered with a hint of encouragement even though I knew what she wanted to say. She's afraid, scared that he won't like her back. I know what it's like to feel that way. In fact, I'm beginning to experience the same, especially now.
"Forget it." Was her stern repeat, her face showed no emotion at all. I let it go, knowing it's no use to force it out of a stubborn mouth.
"What time is it?" Sora asked through a huge yawn.
"Don't ask, I don't even no what day it is."
She resisted any attempt to keep her eyes open and put herself to rest in my arms. My own eyelids were heavy by the time our campfire flickered and dead down to a dim candle sized flame.
A dreamy tanned face warpped in my arms was as beautiful as she could ever be in sleeping form. Does she like me in the same way I felt intrigued by her? I have absolutely no clue. Out of zillions of men in this world, most of them who take one look at her would get caught up by her beauty. She has no idea doesn't she? She has no idea I love her with all my heart. Sora is the one, I just know it.
Gawk, what am I thinking? This is so embarassing... I'm turning into a loverboy. Weird thoughts began to invade my mind on this island, I don't know if my own brain is playing tricks on me or if it's lust. I was too tired to take a one last look at her face. Sleep overcame me by the time I completely shut my eyes.
Sora's POV
"Matt, I'm going to the pond to take a bath." I said before leaving. He stared at me wide eyed, his orbs intensed blue. It was obvious what Yamato was thinking. "And don't you dare follow me." I added.
Yamato blushed, he avoided my dead gaze and went back to working on the fishing rod.
"Just be back soon, it's going to rain again." He said after taking a glance at the low clouds hanging above our heads.
"I will, don't start eating without me." I said and took off. The fresh water pond was at the other side of the bay. I knew every place and the shape of the coastline by heart after crossing this route so much. In the early morning light, I could see the forest beyond the rocky cliff along the shore. I strained myself to spot the partly hidden pond surrounded by bushes. This was where we gathered drinking water, we made a two miles trip here twice a day, one at sunrise, one at dawn. Today's our the fourth day, and I am surprised I lasted this long without properly cleaning myself. Yamato, despite of his usual clean body back at home, is not minding his personal hygenes at all. This sudden change in his behavior worried me, Yama's not who he use to be. I wonder what seems to be the cause.
Gigantic pieces of dark clouds swrayed in and out of the sky. The high humidity tells me it will indeed rain soon just like Yamato forecasted. I quickly stripped down my clothing and piled them up on a giant leaf, drawing a sharp breath as I saw a fresh strain on my underwear. What a perfect timing, my period decided to come early. I guess I was one of those less fortunately souls on Earth. In terrible need of tampoons, I searched everywhere trying something that'll least get me through four or five days. No, nothing except useless trees.
My mind drifted back to an old adventure book I read two years ago, they say you can use leaves to act as tissue paper with you have an emergency of some sorts. But don't they know anything about the size of these plants? All the leaves here are either as small as a peanut or as large as an elephant's ear. Well, that adds another problem to my list. Which, like all others, I decided to cast away for now and deal with later.
I dug into the pond and came up to the surface to expose my face. The water was surprisingly warm, it slowly evaporated into steam and the white smokes vanished into the thin air. I allowed my arms to stretched out to the side and floated on my back. It was a similar feeling to taking a bath at home, only more enjoyable. The whole hour of complete silence was like visiting heaven. I wished it could stay here forever, just closing my eyes and soften every muscle without any interruptions from....
"Yamato!" I yelled. So much for peace and quiet.
Footsteps swerved up the sound of rustling leaves. I gasped at the blonde head that grew bigger behind the bushes. He jerked and sprung up to his feet, still eyeing on me.
"What are you doing here? Have you been spying on me?" I screamed.
He stammered in hesitation. "I...uh ...I... uh.... it not what you think! I swear, it's not what you think!"
Yamato was too stunned to look away, showing no respect kept a pair of sapphire eyes locked on my bare skin. I instantly sinked down to the safety of the water and went back to yelling.
"Will you at least let me put some clothes on?" I said and cleared my voice. He snapped away and covered his eyes without daring to say another word.
In a jump I snatched my clothes and yanked them on, carelessly stuffing a piece of leaf down my underpants to cover the bleeding. Then, walking in rage and grabbed him by the shirt collar, forcing him to look in my eyes. "I'm sorry." Yamato stuttered and his lips trembled slightly.
My fierce grip on his shirt soaked through, I was completely drenched. Dropplets of water dripped down my nose as I shouted at the top of my lungs in outbursts of rage. "Yamato Ishida, you have a sick-minded brain! You pervert!" He sensed how angry I was and put out a please-forgive-me-and-let-me-explain puppy dog eyes.
"Ididn'tevenwanttoseeyounakedbelievemeIsweartomydeadgrandma!" He managed to choke out in one breath.
"Oh yeah?" I chuckled playfully but went back to serious business, glaring at him with fierce eyes no one could avoid. "Then how do you explain this? And don't give me all the shit about getting worried and decided to simply check on me, because you know you can't hid a lie from these eyes. Spill it Ishida!"
"Uh.." He started, "I was worried because you've been gone for nearly two hours and I decided to check on you?"
My mouth dropped open. "Didn't I tell you that's not an exceptable excuse?!"
"But...bu...but it's true! It's going to getting dark, I don't want you to get lost in the woods for a whole night." He snapped back.
I sighed and released him. He fixed the wrinkle I made on his shirt and went back to apologizing. "I'm sorry."He repeated.
"What did you see?" I asked and expected a honest answer.
"Urgh, everything..." He lowered to a near whisper."The breasts, the pu--"
Automatically, I lifted up my hands and was just about to put a bitch slap on his cheek, he caught me just in time and firmly sat my hand away.
"I will never forgive you, Yamato Ishida." I murmured under his breath.
"Can we not argue right now?"
"You bastard."
"Look, let's go back." He took me by the hand.
"Don't touch me!" I sneezed and wipted away the water dripping down my nose.
"Okay, I don't blame you for thinking that I'm a jerk. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Just shut your trap and I'll be happy."
He sighed and walked away, shaking his head. I followed behind without sense back to our cave. Within the next few minutes once we reached our shelter, the sky filled with gray clouds turned purple with a trace of pink setting on the horizon. It was nothing I ever seen before, a few seconds before, the weather was dead calm, now we're facing howling winds that fought it's way through the entrance of our cave. All signs of another coming storm getting closer.
"I told you." Yamato sneered and rolled his eyes.
"Shut it." I rolled away and huddled against myself in into a ball, shrieking to my little corner.He might have not intented to snoop in and spy on me, but I was in no mood to hear another lame word.
Ah! I read over this and it's a really sucky chapter, oh well it was still fun to write...hehe. Hopefully the next one's better. Plz review!
