Chapter 2: New beginnings

She lay her head on her beach towel, her tanned body lay relaxed in the sun. Strands of her blonde hair blew gently on to her smooth face as her eyes were closed, as her blue shades, shaded her eyes from the sun's light.

"Zoe," he said softly, not realizing she was asleep.

"Zoe?" he continued waiting for an answer, he flicked some cold drops of water onto her accidentally which started to stir her.

"Mmhmm," she replied in her sleep as she turned her head away from him.

He brushed his hand over her face, putting her hair back away from her face. His crimson eyes were darker than when he had been younger and a lot richer too. His dark brown hair had sand caught up in it.

"Zoe…" he said gently, smiling down at her, as he watched her in her sleep.

He moved his tanned face towards her face closely and whispered in her ear. She could feel his hot breath breathe gently against her neck as he whispered. This definitely made her stir up.

"Mmm…Taki?" she mumbled in her sleep in reply. He smiled again and kept whispering in her ear.

"Zoe… Shark…Drrr-d-Drrrr-d! Grrr, Oh no, it's got you!" he whispered.

"Aahh! Takuya!" she screamed out his name jumping up out of her sleep.

He answered her with a joyfully joking laugh, he had scared the living day lights out of her.

She then began to whine and sob as she hugged him, he forgot that she hated sharks. He stopped laughing, and became a little more serious.

"Oh, Zoe… You know I was only joking," he replied, rubbing her back trying to give her comfort. She unwrapped her hands away from his warm smooth neck and glared at him coldly.

"How could you play such a nasty joke on me?" she demanded very unhappy.

His crimson eyes stared back into her beautiful cerulean eyes, changing the cold evil glare quickly into a warm and happy gaze. She blinked away, she could never win against her childhood best friend.

They had been best friends since they were four years old. Even though a lot of things had changed over the years, there was only one thing that never changed. Their beloved home…the beach……. the island……Their land."

"Janiero,"

The land had sounded as if it was calling itself out to their young minds, or was it their young minds calling out it's name?

"Takuya," Zoe said his name softly.

"Yeah?" he replied sternly.

The wind blew through her hair gently, the island was really calling them wasn't it?

"I was wondering…." She replied in a daze.

He then shifted his body really close to hers. He lay his shoulder against hers allowing her to lay her head on his shoulder against his head.

"What were you wondering?" he asked her concerned.

"Where were you going to take me today?" she asked. He smiled.

"Surprise.. I'll show you soon, just after I do something first." He replied.

She then shifted her head off of his shoulder as he got up onto his knees.

"Do what first?" she asked, she hated being alone.

He smiled at her warmly as he moved towards her closely, she had almost blushed.

"This!" he quickly replied, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly.

He then flipped her body onto the back of his shoulder and carried her to the water's cool waves.

Zoe tried scrambling out of his grip, but it wasn't any use. She kicked and screamed at him, but nothing made him let go of her.

"Takuya! Let me go!" she yelled at him furiously.

"Why?" he smirked at her raising an eyebrow.

"Don't ask me why! Let me go or else!" She still screamed at him.

"Or else what Z?" he replied.

She then looked into his eyes and stopped kicking, he then smiled. They stared at each other for a few seconds.

"Ugh! I can't stand you!" she screamed giving up.

But she was already too late. He quickly chucked her into the water.

"Aaagh!" she screamed as she fell into the water. Takuya started laughing and jumped in with her.

Both of their heads broke back to the waters surface for air. Zoe swept in gasps of air, but Takuya breathed in slowly.

Both waddled in the water for a while, Zoe then turned around. His happy gaze was then greeted by her cold icy glare, but this still didn't change his mind.

"What!" she demanded. He began to laugh again, seeing that she was completely drenched.

"N-nothing, you just look really pisse-" he got cut off by her voice as he smirked.

"Don't even bother!" she shrieked at him.

Takuya looked at her with a big grin on his face as she looked away from him.

"I'm sure you don't even want me to bother doing this to you neither huh?" he replied.

She turned around sharply at him, but she was too late again. He quickly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her underneath the water. She struggled to free herself from his grip, but it was way too strong for her.

Both stared at each other underneath the water. He looked deeply in happiness at her eyes. But her eyes stared back at him coldly. Seeing his happy eyes melted her icy cold glare into a happy and forgiving stare.

Both stared at each other like that for a few seconds, but she then started to run out of air. She quickly tried to kick herself out of his grip, but he didn't want to let go. She kicked harder and harder, it wasn't until he realized that she had run out of air.

Just as he decided to let her go, she ripped herself out of his grip and broke free from the water's surface.

Takuya then broke for air as well. But just as he broke free for air, he was soon greeted by a giant slam of water.

Zoe jumped into his arms and knocked him back into the water with her. Both had made a giant splash from beneath them as they fell on top of each other.

The waves pushed them back to the warm wet sandy shore of the beach which was not too far away from their resting spot on the beach.

Takuya rolled onto his back and let the water push him back into the warm and partly dry sand. Zoe still clung onto him from within the water's grip and rolled her stomach back on top of him. She rested her head against his chest as she lay her hand on top of his bare stomach exhausted.

Takuya looked at her and smiled down at her happily as he closed his eyes and lay his head back against the warm sand. He too was exhausted.

Zoe smiled back at him warmly, and hugged him tighter towards her, she then began to ruffle his hair with her other hand softly as she kissed his warm built up chest and closed her eyes. She really loved him.

He looked back down at her and began to stare warmly at her as he smiled. He hugged her close to him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and fell asleep.

He then brushed a few of her strands of hair away from her soft and smooth young face as she slept warmly in his arms. He then placed a kiss on top of her head and watched her dream for hours. He too really loved her.

Even though they were best friends, they always got caught up in things that they both thought that they shouldn't really do. Both loved each other, but had a very close friendship. In fact they were way closer than best friends. They always acted towards each other like they were very close sister and brother.

For hours they lay under the sun under the waves. The sun was now stronger, now that it was afternoon. The wind blew through their hair gently, softly cooling them off as the scorching sun heated them up.

It wasn't till Takuya was the first to realize that he had too drifted off to sleep in the sun. He started to wake up slowly in a daze. He felt all warm, but it wasn't just the sun, there was something there. He let his hand slide down along Zoe's back, then his eyes widened.

Ah! Zoe? Not again! I've got to get a hold of myself! Why do these things keep happening to me?

Zoe shifted her head slightly and faced the other way. Her face was now starting to stir as the sunlight hit her face brightly. She then started to wake up, she too was in a daze, but Takuya wasn't anymore.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was Takuya's arms sliding down along her back. Blood suddenly rushed all over her as she quickly went bright red.

"Aaaaah!" she screamed jumping up off of him quickly.

Takuya got up slightly and slightly backed away from her. His blood suddenly flowed with sadness, he didn't mean to upset her.

Zoe stood and stared at him for a while, she didn't realize what she had done to him. The wind blew through her dark blonde hair gently, it really was starting to get late.

He continued staring at her for a while. He then lowered his head and closed his eyes solemnly.

She began to soften up and decided to sit right next to him, why had she been so mean?

His stiff figure sat half coldly and half warmly next to her.

"Takuya…." The words flowed gently out of her mouth.

There was a strong bridge of silence between them, neither looked at each other.

"Yeah," he replied sadly.

The silence continued until she broke it.

"Where were you going to take me?" she asked.

The wind blew gently again, ruffling up his hair softly before he spoke. He breathed in deeply and let it all out.

"A place…." He trailed off.

"A place that's way away from here…."
