I don't own Naruto, Great Teacher Onizuka, Love Hina, Mahou Sensei Negima, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Inuyasha, Gravitation or any anime or game that I may or may not mention. I also do not own the character Amber (whom I borrowed from friend's fanfic called Steel and Ice)

Ed was pacing outside the hotel. As soon as he saw Marche he ran towards him and asked about his brother. He explained everything to him; Ed growled, his whole day had been spoiled.

"Here," he said, handing two tickets to Marche.

"What is this?"

"Tickets to an amusement park on the island. I was supposed to go with Amber…" he sighed. "But she hasn't been out of her room. Then I thought of taking Al… Just take them," he sighed as he walked back to the hotel.

Marche said thanks and headed towards the park. Along the way he saw one of his classmates sitting sadly against a tree trunk.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh?" asked Naruto, wiping a few tears quickly.

"Is everything alright?"

"It's fine!" he screamed as he stood up and pushed Marche backwards. His body was erect and ready to fight, but his eyes quavered and tears flowed. He sat down once more and lay against the sandy road. "I'm tired of being left out. I thought… I'm happy for them, really. It's just… I… I miss her!"

"Whom?" asked Marche sitting down besides him.

"It's so stupid! I can't even remember her name! Damn it! I just want to hold her and stare into her unique eyes, she's so shy about them, but they're beautiful."

"Sounds to me like you really like her. You know, sometimes when it hurts here," he said touching his chest. "I try do other stuff to entertain myself and that helps sooth the pain. You know I have an extra ticket to an amusement park. It's supposed to be very big and the ticket would go to waste if you don't take it."

He nodded. Marche helped him up and they headed towards the park. "Thanks…" Marche shook his head, "Don't mention it."

Inuyasha watched Marche run away; he looked back and walked towards Motoko. They had decided to train together after Okita-Sensei made a fool out of them. For the rest of the trip they were going to be staying in an old lady's house together. She said that she had no trouble renting them a room in exchange for work around the house.

"Kind lady, thank you for your patronage," said Motoko as she bowed slightly.

"No problem your room is right up there on the second floor."

Motoko went up the stairs and came rushing down. "Excuse me there's only one room!"

"Ah yes, since you're a couple I thought you wouldn't mind sharing the room."

"We're not a couple!" screamed Inuyasha as he entered the house.

"There has to be another room available."

"I'm afraid not. We'll it's late, I'm off to bed, there's a bathroom in the room and there are towels in there as well. There is another bathroom on this floor if you need it."

The lady left and the pair headed upstairs. Inuyasha took kicked off his sandals and sat down on the bed; Motoko gave him a dirty look and pushed him to the floor.

"Hey!"

"What do you think you're doing? The bed's mine!"

"There's only one bed! Where am I sleeping!"

"You'll be a good dog and sleep on the floor!"

"Why you… Fine! I rather sleep on the cold floor than next to your cold heart!"

Motoko's cold eyes were filled with tears. He noticed her change but before he could say anything, she ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. Inuyasha went back downstairs and used the bathroom on that floor.

He headed upstairs once more. When he opened the door to the room; Motoko was completely naked. Their eyes met and her face turned completely red. Quickly she took an object from the floor and hurled it towards the door. He closed the door and sat down against it, his face completely flushed.

"You may enter."

Motoko was on the bed and as soon as he entered she turned the other way. He tried talking to her, but she completely ignored him. He sat on the floor and kept staring at her. He tighten his fist, he wanted to screamed, he didn't understand she had insulted him too. Why was she all emotional now? He wanted to screamed at her; but…

"I'm sorry..."

The amusement park was humongous. It had a several rides, a lot of stands where you could try your luck in several games, theaters and a giant pool where a pirate show was held.

After seeing most of the park and ridding on most of the attractions, Naruto and Marche headed towards the Pirate Show attraction. It started with two boats, one clearly the pirate boat and the other a military vessel.

"Turn yourself in, pirates!" screamed a well build man, with tan skin and dark hair.

"No way!" screamed a skinny boy with a straw hat.

"Luffy what do we do" asked a green haired man with three swords around his sash.

"We fight!" screamed the straw-hat boy.

"Capt. Mako?" asked one of the navy boys.

"Take them down! Arm the cannon! I'm going there personally."

The cannonballs missed the boat and covered must of the spectators in water. Cap. Mako fired a harpoon towards their boat and used the rope to cross to over. The green haired man, named Solo drew his three swords and slashed away the rope. But the Captain hurled himself onto the boat.

"I've got you now!" he screamed slashing away at the Captain. He got up quickly and drew his own swords. One sword against three he could only parry the swordsman's attacks. "Your good, others would be dead by now."

One of the Navy men fired shot into Solo's back. When he flinched from the pain the Captain kicked him out of the boat. A blonde boy rushed towards him and kicked him continuously. "I got this Luffy, go save Solo!"

Luffy tied a long rope to the boat's mast and the other end around his waist. "I'm coming Solo." Meanwhile an orange hair lady, named Nami had sneaked into the military boat and was making off with their treasure. Before leaving she left a grenade on the lower deck; the explosion on the inside caused the boat to sink. Luffy saved Solo and the blonde guy kicked the Captain into the water.

When the show ended; later the actors joined the crowd. They began taking striking posses for the camera and signing autographs. Suddenly Marche remembered what the kind lady had told him and approached the guy named Mako.

"Excuse me. Are you a fisherman as well?"

"Sure am!" exclaimed the tan skin man proudly.

"I was wondering, if you could give me a job on your vessel?"

Mako laughed loudly. "I'm sorry kid, but the sea is a though lady. Being a fisherman isn't just about catching fish, you have to be strong enough to carry the mast and the reel the fishes in, you have to get up at one in the morning and finally win the sea's respect. Sorry kid, you're just not cut out to be a fisherman," he stated ruffling his hair.

Marche watched him walk away laughing hard as if he was some kind of joke. Now he was more determined than ever to prove himself to the fisherman. He clenched his fist and vowed that he would train until the fisherman acknowledged his strength.

It was around ten. I open the door to my room and took a bath. I put on some shorts and placed the wet towel over my bare shoulders. I sat on my bed and began checking my suitcase. Sitting in the bed next to mine was Amber. We had been assigned to share a room over the trip, though we hadn't talked that much.

She was staring blankly at the wall of the room, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing her like that saddened me. I took the sandal from the back pocket of the jeans I had discarded and walked towards her.

I sat next to her and laced my hand over her shoulder. She instantly moved and rested her head against my shoulder. "It's okay to cry," I whispered.

I felt the warm tears running down her face and into my shoulder. I took the sandal and placed it on her lap. She took it and scanned it, unsure of what do to or say.

"I was walking around and as soon as I saw it I knew it was yours."

"Thanks," she said standing up and placing it on the floor. "It's my favorite pair."

"I know, I was with Ed when he bought it."

We remained silent staring at each other. She was sitting on her bed and I was on the small table near the television set. She tried to say something but couldn't.

"You don't have to explain anything to me."

"Thanks, but… I want you to talk to you, if is okay?" she said in a frail voice, staring at me with the innocence of a small girl.

"Of course it's okay."

"Do you think memories are important?" she blurted out.

"It depends… Memories are part of our life, some are painful but others are wonderful. Personally I would rather remember everything in my life even if it were painful than nothing at all! But…" I stopped and stared at her quavering eyes. "Sometimes we have to stop looking back and just treasure what we have now. Amber, Amber, Amber…"

I walked towards her; she had fallen asleep. I tucked her in, set a silent alarm for one in the morning and fell asleep. I had a strange dream. Everything was dark; screams echoed, screams I recognized. They were in pain, but I couldn't see them nor help them.

I woke up when I felt the vibration in my bed. I turned the alarm off and got dressed. I walked half-asleep towards the beach with two empty buckets. After filling them up to the max with rocks I practically dragged them towards the harbor, which was easily a three hours long walk.

I arrived at the docks and asked where was Mako's boat docked every morning. I walked toward the direction they had told me and collapsed on the floor. Minutes later Mako arrived. He got out of the boat, threw a heavy net, which was filled with fishes, over his shoulders and walked to a fish factory in the harbor.

About an hour later he passed by me again and got onto his boat without saying a word. I watched him leave with anger. I struggled to get up and began making my way back to the hotel.

"Please cheer up!" begged Ryuichi Sakuma, the music teacher. "Come on, I'll give all a lolly. No… Then… How about a copy of Nittle Grasper's Greatest Songs autograph by me. What do I have to do to get you to cheer up?"

"Is no use, why even try to play in the festival, the J. Rockers while just overshadow us like the always do."

The studio doors burst opened. Onizuka entered followed by a girl with brownish hair and with a usually large set of breast. "Have no fear! GMO is here! Great Manager Onizuka!"

"Nomura!" screamed some of the kids as they went to greet their friend.

"What's Tomoko Nomura doing here?" asked one of the younger kids amazed.

"She's a student here. Onizuka-Sensei made her into a star. She tried out to join the Jissai-Rockers, but they refused her claiming that she was a jinx and that she didn't have the right image. Afterwards Onizuka-Sensei pulled some strings and made her into a star!"

"Onizuka-Sensei you're so cool!"

Finding new hope with the arrival of Nomura, the kids worked harder and harder to prepare a great band for the upcoming Music Festival. With Tomoko Nomura singing on their band there was nothing the J. Rockers could do to overshadow them.

Amber watched as he exited the room quietly. She checked her watch; it was one in the morning. He had done this every morning for the past week; today she decided to follow him. Already dressed, she exited the room and followed him closely. He ran out of the hotel and around it five times. Afterwards he darted towards the beach with to empty buckets. Near the beach there was a rocky area, there he filled the buckets with tons of rocks.

Then he ran towards the harbor. Amber hid behind some crates near to him. He started doing pushups, constantly glancing towards the sea. A boat anchored near him and Capt. Mako dragged the fish net towards the factory.

When he came out, Marche was doing squats. "Hundred and two!" he screamed painfully as he flexed downwards once more.

He stopped in front of him and rustled his hair. "Kid, you got guts. I was wrong, you may not have the body of a fisherman but you certainly got the spirit of one. Whenever you're back in town come by the harbor at one and I'll gladly take you with me."

As soon as the fisherman left, Marche collapsed. Amber quickly ran towards him placed him over her small frame and dragged him back towards one of the nearby shops in the harbor.

Yippee! On the next chapter… More Inu & Motoko scenes, Onizuka's Halloween surprise and heading back home.
