My Rival's Paradise
Sticks and Stones...and Leaves
"Our clothes are gone!!!"
"H-huh? What do you mean?" said Julia, shaking out of her daze. She peered over her shoulder and found that the large rocks that she and Hwoarang laid their clothes on were indeed missing.
Julia gasped and started to hyperventilate. "Oh, crap, this isn't good. I'm stuck on an island with a Grade-A pervert and now our clothes are gone," she thought her heart hurting from breathing so hard.
"Hey, you okay?" Hwoarang asked, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Donnn't touch me, youuuu!!!" she whirled around to face him. She held an angry glare as she backed up away from him. "You probably did something to them, didn't you?!"
"M-me?! Why are you blaming me?" Hwoarang spluttered as he glanced up again to see the clothes still missing.
"You plotted this!" Julia crawled behind a rock and started gathering large leaves that dropped on the ground. She began wrapping them around her upper body and her lower body with the large leaves and tucking in the ends.
"Why the hell would I plot something like this?" Hwoarang climbed out and went on the other side of the rock when he saw Julia give him a death glare.
"I don't know, you pervert, I bet you have many other ideas in your measly little brain," said Julia, too angry to think before she talked.
"Don't be so stupid, why would I lose my own clothes?"
Julia found herself unable to come up with another accusation and just pouted.
"They couldn't have gone far," said Hwoarang wrapping something around him. "We can still go look for them." He stepped out from behind the rock.
Hwoarang looked so ridiculous that Julia burst out laughing hysterically.
"Y-you look like a wannabe Tarzan!!!" Julia pointed and laughed, losing her dignity as she continued to laugh in his face. It was probably from the shock that Julia not only lost her dignity for the moment but her sanity.
It was sort of true, and his shoulder length orange hair added to the picture of Tarzan too. He had several leaves tucked in together to sort of form a loincloth looking skirt and was bare-chested.
Hwoarang, on the other hand was not too amused. He looked at Julia strangely, never expecting an outburst like that from someone like Julia.
"You can be my Jane," Hwoarang simply stated. At that moment, Julia stopped laughing and shut her mouth. "That sure shut her up," Hwoarang thought, getting a pretty good view of Julia.
"Ew! You really know how to turn even the simplest things into perversions!!!" exclaimed Julia, gaining her sanity back.
"The more you talk, the farther the people are going to get away," Hwoarang started to look at the ground for clues, finding some shoe tracks and following them.
The two of them began tracking; occasionally sneaking glances at each other's scantily clad body.
"Jin, I don't think this was such a good idea," Xiaoyu muttered as she power walked alongside with Jin.
"It's either this or we walk around, um, you know," Jin replied turning red when he mentioned, "You know."
Xiaoyu was wearing a white tank top and carrying the blue denim shorts while Jin found himself walking uncomfortably in a tight sleeveless shirt that clung to his body almost too tightly.
It was apparent that the two of them didn't really think before they took the clothes from the rock.
"Won't the other people be missing clothes?" asked Xiaoyu curiously, imagining how angry the people must be when they find out that their clothes are gone.
"I'm sure they have plenty," was Jin's mindless answer. Jin had not looked at Xiaoyu's face for a while, still embarrassed.
Neither did Xiaoyu but she was starting to doubt that stealing clothes was such a good idea.
"Maybe we should give them back," said Xiaoyu tensely.
Jin stopped in his tracks and turned his back to Xiaoyu so she wouldn't see the furious blush on his face. "Are you saying that we should wander around, n-naked?"
"You said that they have clothes, maybe they'll lend us some," Xiaoyu answered.
Jin was hesitant but he had to admit that was a pretty smart idea.
The two of them were about to turn around and walk back before hearing rustling in the bushes.
"Jin, what was that?" Xiaoyu whispered, crouching alongside with Jin.
"Sshh," Jin put a finger to his lips and gently pulled Xiaoyu down with him. "Listen."
They heard the rustling sound again, and a murmur of voices.
"I wanna tear their legs off, and then break their arms. And after that, I'll bash them in the head. Those fuckers should die a million deaths and then I get to make their final death the worst of all!" was what they heard from a male voice.
Frightened, Xiaoyu clung on to Jin and the two of them began to quietly crawl away into the bushes on the other side.
"Let's run!"
"We've been walking for an hour already, we're never gonna get our clothes back," Julia muttered.
"Aw, quit complaining, the faster we walk, the better chance we have of finding them," Hwoarang retorted.
"That's easy for you to say. Your leaves don't have stupid bugs on them," said Julia picking off bugs from the leaves, frustrated and itchy is many places.
"Man, I wish I had a camera. Perfect Miss Julia Chang looking like the queen of the Jungle. This is rich," Hwoarang smirked, changing the subject.
"Me too, Hwoarang Doo San, class delinquent, looking like Tarzan, then again, it doesn't make much difference," Julia snapped.
"What would your parents think?" Hwoarang laughed, pretending to take a picture, making clicking sounds.
"Oh yeah? What would yours?"
"I hate them. Don't get me started."
"H-huh?"
"I wanna tear their legs off, and then break their arms. And after that, I'll bash them in the head. Those fuckers should die a million deaths and then I get to make their final death the worst of all!"
"Dude, calm down," said Julia, surprised at Hwoarang's sudden outburst.
"Hey, shut up!"
"Oh no, you didn't!" Julia was angry now.
"No, seriously, shut up, I hear something."
"Oh."
"I think we're near them, let's get them."
The two of them took off, running at very fast speeds, avoiding the trees and twigs in the way, hearing the pounding of feet, not far ahead.
"Okay, we got you!!!"
"Hwoarang, stop!!!" Julia let out a bloodcurdling scream.
