Chapter 3
Out : -starts crying-
O.C. #2 : Um...Lizzy-chan...Out loves you.
Out : Yay! -still crying- Someone else reviewed!
Recap : J.P. found Zoe after getting lost, Kouji's looking for Takuya, and Kouichi found Tommy. It's starting to rain and nightfall is coming.

"There...that's better." J.P. sighed in slight relief now that he'd made a fire.
Him and Zoe were in a cave they'd found not to far from the river. It had started to rain, hard, just after they got the wood for their fire. Now Zoe's clothes were hanging out to dry while she wore her underclothes and had wrapped herself in her sleeping bag.
"Hey Zoe. You-" he was hit in the head with a small rock as he went to turn around.
"You look over here and I'll never speak with you again!" Zoe yelled, scrunching into her sleeping bag even more. J.P. sighed.
"Come on Zoe...I'm 18, but I'm no pervert..." he then muttered- "not usually anyway..."
"What was that?" Zoe asked, glaring at him.
"Are you hungry?" J.P. said as if repeating himself. Zoe blinked.
"Oh..." her stomach growled. J.P. smiled without looking at her.
"I suppose that's a yes then?" she glared but he couldn't see it. "I'll make us something to eat then." he grabbed his pack and began searching through it. "How's...eggs?"
"For dinner?...And why do you have eggs?" she asked. He shrugged.
"I like eggs?" he laughed lightly. "Ok, I'll make them...though I don't know how you'll eat while you're in your sleeping bag.
Zoe grumbled as her stomach rumbled again. (Ha! Grumbled, rumbled! I rhymed!)

Kouichi set Tommy down on a root and sighed. It was raining really hard...
"Whew..." Kouichi laughed. "We're wet!" he joked.
Tommy had a slight glare on.
"My leg hurts..." he mumbled, placing a hand just above the cut.
"Oh, right." Kouichi took his pack off (how'd he carry Tommy?) and reached inside. "Hm...nope...nope...ah! Nope...here we go!"
The older twin pulled out a small washcloth looking thing and a first aid kit. He carefully dried the cut, which had stopped bleeding before Kouichi had even found the 15 year old. Tommy didn't wince until Kouichi applied some medicine to it that made the cut burn.
"Ow..." he suppressed his pain and let the older boy tend to his leg.
A cooling sensation came over the area affected and the burning went away. Looking, he saw Kouichi was blowing on it. He suddenly saw his brother in Kouichi's place and smiled softly. The bluenette put the band-aid on and stood back, sitting on the root next to Tommy.
"What's up? You look preoccupied." he said calmly. Tommy blinked and blushed at having been caught day dreaming.
Oh, you're probably wondering where these two are. Ahem...Kouichi found a batch of trees that made a covering where it wasn't raining. He'd rushed under there since they were getting soaked just standing in the rain and had sat Tommy on a large root protruding from the ground.
"I was...thinking about my brother..." Tommy admitted.
"Miss him?" Kouichi asked, knowing the feeling.
"Yea. I wonder how long it'll be before the rain stops...before we find the others...before we...go home..." Tommy looked about to cry. Kouichi held him close.
"I can be your brother...for now. Ok?" Kouichi offered. "Now go to sleep, otoutobun...sleep and dream of home..." he closed his eyes as he rocked back and forth, laying his head on Tommy's.
Tommy's eyes softened, and he did fall asleep. He could see his house, his parents, and his brother...they were all together on the couch...with popcorn and watching a movie...and he was with them, between his mom and his brother.

Kouji broke through the tree lining and saw the river again. He gasped, seeing a dark figure on the beach. It was Takuya! He was laying on his stomach, head turned slightly to the left and left hand clutching his pack limply.
The river was getting rough due to the harsh storm. Kouji was already re-soaked and shivering. He ran up to Takuya and shook him.
"Takuya. Takuya! Come on, wake up Takuya!" he called.
A large wave hit them and knocked Kouji onto his but. He wondered briefly how a wave could jump them in a river, but dropped it the next moment. Takuya's bag was now drifting away with the river, and with it, Takuya's supplies.
"No!" Kouji kept his left hand on Takuya's right shoulder as he made a grab for the pack. It slipped from his fingers and was gone, under the water. "Dammit!"
Punching the ground, he cursed softly again. The younger bluenette then picked Takuya up 'bridal style' (-laugh-) and began running back into the woods, away from the raging river.
Out : My 3rd, short chapter. We finally found out what happened to Takuya huh? -heh- Again, sorry for how short they are. But I kinda like them short, as long as there are a lot of them. Ya know...when...I...read a story? -sigh- Whatever...I'm going to bed...
O.C. #2 : Night night!
It : -slight, covered yawn-
O.C. #1 : You too It.
It : -glare- I'm 14! You can't tell me what to do!
O.C. #2 : Yes we can. Now go. Or we'll tell Hiro-kun.
It : -pause as he fears of his idol, then calms again- pfft, Like he'd care what I did. He would probably commend me on it actually. Getting on your nerves would probably amuse him to no end. To think I was scared of you telling him I refused to go to bed. Ha, what a laugh. I mean you're both so-
O.C #2 : We meant, we'd tell him-
O.C. #1 : -About that.
It : -goes to bed-
