Chapter 4: Port N?

Yutaka blinked slowly in the light that filtered through the small square portholes, groggily she sat up. Her make shift bed wasn't the most comfortable but after the previous days events it was still welcome. The previous days events, the mere thought made terror and despair well up inside her but she quickly squashed those feelings, she was already a burden because of her lack of physical prowess she didn't want to be an emotional burden as well. As she gathered her bedding into a small bundle and stowed it under an adjacent row of seats she could tell that some people were still asleep like her family members for example, and others were already gone. Yutaka had just walked out side of the boat into the bright morning sunlight when a voice made her jump.

"Yutaka -Chan good morning." Turning her head Yutaka saw that the greeting came from Kagami who was sitting on a log rubbing a small charm bracelet between her hands.

"Good Morning Hiiragi -Sempai." She greeted in turn with a small curtsy. This however only enticed a stifled snort from Kagami who looked away before she continued.

"Yes well make sure you don't wander off we don't have the luxury of finding missing people."

"OK." Yutaka replied cheerfully before she ran off to the water line and tried her best to clean off some of the grime and dirt from yesterdays toils. As she did this she couldn't help but think that it was odd that Kagami was up at all, because as she recalled from the previous night Kagami had been sobbing even until Yutaka had drifted off to sleep and on the occasions she had awoken during her fitful slumber Kagami had still been sniffling but awake. But it helped explain the dark circles slowly spreading under her eyes' and her Kurt almost rude morning speech. But Yutaka being Yutaka, she dismissed it quickly. After she finished dealing with her morning wash she decided to seek out her Best friend Minami Iwasaki, however she espied Patty-Chan sitting on anther log bench near the smouldering remains of the fire. Her look was no longer terrified but determined as if a great burden now rested on her, now and then her eye's flicked up to the boat door but then would relax again. Yutaka was about to approach with a warm greeting when suddenly Patty shot from her seat and quickly raced to the boats entrance. Kagami had left her perch for some errand and Patty reached the door as soon as Konata was walking out yawning, the large American grabbed her by the arm and quickly dragged her to the tree line. However what secrecy she had wished was wasted as her actions piqued the interests of a certain red haired girl who slowly crept up and watched the spectacle. Yutaka watched as the blonde started pointing at the bluenette and gesturing angrily, however her anger seemed to disappear when Konata poised a question. Weather because of her hero worship for the bluenette or some other factor Patty seemed to open up a little to her. Yutaka grumble to herself as she was to far away to hear so she silently slunk forward trying to get within ear shot. What patty explained seemed to anger Konata more than any thing Yutaka had seen before because now it was her turn to point and poke Patty angrily. Finally Yutaka got within ear shot.

"... some nerve with holding information that there might be a human settlement on this island!" Konata hissed angrily.

"Now Kona-Chan we can't go there we might disturb something that we can't deal with." Patty retorted tearfully.

"Then tell me whats there since you seem to be an expert!"

"I can't! Wait didn't you read the thread on the INGEN page?" Patty asked suddenly.

"No i got bored with the whole cloak and dagger BS. So i went to play my MMO." Konata snapped back.

"Then why did you tell that story, then?" Patty questioned, Konata looked at her then with a small smirk replied.

"To get a rise out of the girls. Now you tell them about those signs and roads or i will." Finished Konata before she walked away leaving a stunned Patty and Yutaka behind. Yutaka decided it would be best if she went back to the beach but as she made a move to leave she heard patty sit down and sigh loudly holding her head in her hands. Yutaka decided against staying any longer and made her way quietly back to the boat.

Yui sat and yawned as she gently ripped open a packet of the emergency food. She then spread the foil wrapper on a rock next to the fire and placed the pre-made 'food' on it, still she couldn't help but whistle a happy tune while she waited for the fire to heat the unappetizing paste and wafer. Later as she munched on the wafer she thought back with a smile on how people would call her annoyingly happy or unjustifiably optimistic, but that just comes naturally when your little sister could die at any second for a variety of reasons and your husband only came home every three months. Of course that's why she liked being with Soujirou, Konata and Yutaka because of all their numerous relations they were the only four to share the same happy deposition despite hardships, they are the only one's she actually felt like she belonged with. Still smiling as she wiped the crumbs from her face she felt thankful to have their support and company here at least. she was about to get up and find her beloved sister when she felt a hand grab her shoulder, so Yui turned to face Kagami who was looking at her in a serious way.

"Um, can i help you Hiiragi -San?" Yui asked as she smiled awkwardly, Kagami however did not return her smile.

"Your a police officer, right Yui -San, and would protect your friends and family, right?" Yui gave her a strange look.

"Of coarse, that's a strange question." Yui commented her eyebrows raised. Kagami smiled slightly at this answer.

"That's good to know." She replied. In fact that's the answer i was hoping for. With that said she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small red gun with a plastic case clipped to it and handed it to Yui. "I wanted somebody with survival training to have the other flare gun, however be careful we only have six shots each so only use them if you absolutely have too." With that Kagami smiled tiredly before heading back to her own business. Yui examined the little red gun in her hand then flipped the barrel open and inspected the barrel then with a shrug she tucked it into her pocket. Then tossed the remnants of her meal directly into the fire and begun to search the camp for Yutaka.

As she looked she saw Kagami sit down on her log by the boat and glance around the camp her eyes half lidded, over by the fire beacon she saw Miyuki, her mother Yukari and the pilot Kentaro all laughing boisterously. Hiyori and Minami were talking by the fire Yui had just departed, but were was Yutaka? Suddenly she saw an angry looking Konata depart from a small grove of trees and a few moments later Yutaka walked out behind a tree and softly jogged to the boat, Yui decided to follow her. Yutaka was about to walk step into the camp when Yui sprung her trap. She quickly grabbed her little sister's shoulders and yelled.

"Gotcha!" The effect was predictable, the small red head froze up and screamed in fright. Quickly Yutaka spun to see her captor only to see the grinning face of Yui.

"That's not funny!" Protested Yutaka with fake anger, however Yui new when she was angry and when she wasn't. No this was something far more delicious, Embarrassment. Yui just smiled more as she replied.

"Don't be angry Yutaka i was just joking but i was hoping we could go for a small beach walk." Yutaka looked up and thought about it for a few seconds before she answered.

"Okay Yui-Nee-chan." Yui smiled softly as they prepared to walk down the beach. They hadn't gone further than ten feet when another voice called out to them.

"Hey i hope you don't mind if good old Uncle Soujirou joins you." Yui and Yutaka turned and saw Soujirou running up. Sorry it's just that i wanted to explore the island a little but i didn't want to do it alone. He said as he looked away embarrassed.

"That's okay right Yui-Nee-chan?" Yui looked at both of them before she replied in her usual cat mouthed way.

"Sure the more the merrier right."

They had been walking for fifteen minuets and the camp was no longer visible behind them as the beach was constantly curving. The time had been spent in content silence being the energetic type hatted prolonged silences ans was just about to speak when Yutaka broke in first.

"Uncle, Nee-Chan i think Patty-Chan may know a lot more about this island then she's letting people know." Both Soujirou and Yui stopped and looked at Yutaka.

"What do you mean Yutaka?" Soujirou asked, both him and Yui waited for the frail girl to respond.

"Well do you remember the story Onee-Chan told last night, the one about the company." Yutaka continued. Both adult nodded in agreement. "Well this morning i saw Patty-Chan pull her to the woods and they had a heated argument all i caught was the end of it but it seems Patty seems to have more information."

"What kind of information Yutaka?" Soujirou asked kneeling down to her level, Yutaka looked uncomfortably away before she replied.

"She seems to think there's some thing dangerous on this island." Yui and Soujirou exchanged glances then, Yui grabbed Yutaka 's hand and gently pulled her forward.

"Don't worry Yutaka we'll finish our walk then get Patty to explain it's probably nothing serious however." The trio continued walking for ten more minutes, now they were quite away from camp, but as they rounded the next bend the beach was gone dropping off suddenly into sheared rock, revealing a small enclave with weird rectangular pieces of island jutting elegantly out into the small bay. On the far side a wall of crushed rock seemed to be deposited at a bending 90 degree angle from the bay, the three of them stared out at the odd bay trying to figure it out.

"Hey maybe the islands prone to Tsunamis and that's ocean floor deposited in that pile." Soujirou murmured as he scratched his head.

"I don't think so." Yui answered just as confused as her uncle. Suddenly Yutaka pointed at the rectangular rock shelf.

"Hey look buildings." She shouted as she continued to point hurriedly. Their eyes traced the path her hand was pointing right ton the rectangular rock shelf. The shelf was for the most part bare with small grasses and lichen sprouting here and there, in the centre closer to shore there was what appeared to be large growth of ivy and vines. However as they let their eyes wander the saw that the vines covered a large structure so they cautiously decided to inspect further.

As they stood out side inspecting the structure Soujirou noticed some thing oddly familiar about its design. He quickly ran past the two further down the rectangular concrete slab that jutted out into the water and peered over the edge before he nodded in understanding.

"This is a ship pier, see look!" Soujirou announced proudly, the other two ran forward and saw the hydraulic gangway resting a few feet under the crystal clear water. The group turned their collective attention back to the building and spent many minutes trying to find a door. Eventually behind the vines one was located, and the group moved inside. Inside was gloomy and dark the remains of carpet was being devoured by small mushrooms and other fungi, they came across a small oval desk with faded letters.

"Hey Yutaka can you read those?" Soujirou asked silently, Yutaka peered forward trying to decipher the letters in the low light.

"I'm not sure, they are in English, okay i think it says this is a check in." All three of them exchanged confused glances, but they moved forward and after a few feet they passed through some mildewed metal detectors and finally passed through some shattered glass doors into a large round two story room a metal walk way was visible and the room was bright, the large sky lights shattered long ago. They continued passed rows of molding chairs. Rusted scaffolding was visible along the left wall indicating the facility hadn't been completed yet.

"Hey Yui-Nee-chan what is this place?" Yutaka asked somewhat frightened.

"I think its a waiting room like at and airport. "Yui breathlessly replied before she looked to her uncle just as he pointed unblinking at the far wall.

"Yui my English is pretty bad but that doesn't say what i think it say's, right." Yui looked at the wall and saw some large silver letters though some what tarnished the effect was the same. However before she could reply Yutaka confirmed their suspicions.

"I'm afraid it does." The far wall read:

INGEN

We make your future.

The three of them ran back to camp, they had to explain what they had found.

Kagami sat on her log stool and through heavy lids watched the progress of the camp. She had sent Miyuki, Her mother Yukari and Hiyori to set up the water filtering device they had. Konata, Minami and Kentaro had all gone to gather a large amount of fire wood. She hadn't seen the American Otaku all morning but Kagami shrugged she had been acting all strange since they had arrived anyways so she was probably under the boat again. Kagami was suddenly beset by how quiet the camp was with every body either working or off some were it was very soothing, so she leaned back against the bright orange boat and let her eyes drop. However they opened suddenly when she heard wet foot steps approach her. There standing in front of her was Tsukasa, her clothing was dripping with water and she had sea weed draped over her shoulders and in her lavender hair. Most troubling was that her face was two shades paler and the skin around her eye's was dark and sunken, her eyes however had the sad look of betrayal in them.

"Tsukasa! Your okay!" Kagami yelled joyfully as she tried to embrace her sister, but was dismayed when Tsukasa stopped her short. "Whats wrong?" Kagami asked surprised. When Tsukasa replied she opened her mouth and sea water poured out.

"Sis. No it would be bad." Was all she said but the look of betrayal now dominated her expression. Letting go Tsukasa turned slowly and slowly walked back to the water. Kagami now desperate, tried to stop her but she found she was unable to even slow her lithe twin. When they reached the waters edge Kagami saw that the water was not the gentle sloping deepness but suddenly dropped off at the surface. Tsukasa walked out and it seemed to only go up to her ankles, but she was walking on the deep water. Slowly she turned and faced Kagami again.

"Good bye sister." She said sadly, and from the depths Kagami saw sea weed slowly rise up and wind its way up her legs until Tsukasa was firmly entangled up to her waist. Kagami tried to jump forward and free her sibling only to find she was stuck to the spot unable to move, unable to help. As she struggled to reach her sister she yelled.

"I'm gonna free you Tsukasa hold on I'm coming!" However Tsukasa 's expression now turned scornful.

"I saved you but you lost your chance to save me! You hesitated!" Spat Tsukasa then with a neutral expression she was slowly pulled beneath the surface. Kagami saw with Horror that the weeds around her legs had turned into ropes and as she was pulled beneath the surface the presence holding Kagami disappeared and she flung herself into the water to only to see Tsukasa sink slowly into the inky depths the ghostly outline of a vast ship disappearing beneath her sister but the ropes still attached pulling Tsukasa with it. Despite the harsh words Tsukasa looked up smiled at her twin and slowly waved and opened her moth that caused bubbles to blot out the sea.

Kagami opened her eye's as she hit the ground and blinked in confusion, looking this way and that. Finally she realized she had fallen off her log. Tears filled her eye's as she got to her feet and ran to the water's edge only to find it gently sloping off and shallow. Had it all been a dream? Kagami thought as tears continued to roll down her face. Kagami looked around and made sure that no one was watching then made her way to the inside of the boat and tried her best to regain her composure.
