Day One

Caught

Sakura rubbed her eyes as she sat down on the sand, watching at the sun set that blinded her and made her eyes pour bitter tears.

Somehow, many people had survived, from all the 10 people in the plane, 6 had come out alive, gladly. Some more , some less. Gladly though, Sasuke, Nao, Dai and Nicole-a blond girl that reminded Sakura a scaringly lot of Ino , had the less traumas and had helped the rest two alive to treat their wounds as well, that gladly weren't as severe.

Sakura figured that the plane must have been flying in a low height when the accident happened because it seemed to her very strange that the majority was still alive. But somehow, it all didn't connect very well together.

Somehow, when she fainted, someone had carried her under a makeshift tend that the survivors had made from materials they took from the wrecks and someone had taken care of her wounds, especially the one she had on her head. It didn't hurt her as much now but she still couldn't remember stuff around herself, which only served in keeping the feeling of helplessness deep rooted inside her.

Some of the passengers were still alive when the crash happened, but sadly they surrendered their struggle for life to their deep wounds that the inexperienced people didn't know how to deal with.

She looked around her, noticing that girl Nicol putting an order to some stuff dragged straight out of the crashed plane. Since she was the one closest to her, she initiated a talk.

''Uhm…hi?'' she whispered, wondering if she would fail to stand on her feet anytime soon.

The blond girl as if snapping out of her thoughts, turned in a flash to look at her with a hidden surprise painting faintly her feminine face.

''Oh hi…Did you just wake up?'' she asked in a low tone as if worried for Sakura's state.

''I…yes…I did.'' Sakura said trying to give out a bitter smile.

''Oh, how are you feeling?'' the girl asked, moving closer with an examining gaze pinned on Sakura.

''I am still in slight pain but I think I must be okay, now.'' Sakura said smiling reassuringly.

''That is nice to know. But are you sure?'' the girl insisted as she placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder.

Sakura looked at the comforting hand in awkwardness, then shifted her blurry gaze back to the girl and then to the sunset behind her.

''The view is so beautiful right now, isn't it?'' she whispered absent mindly, the sight taking her mind away.

The girl didnt have to turn back for to get what Sakura was talking about.

''Yes it is…''she whispered kinda dreamily, ''…but can you stand up?'' she asked snapping back to the situation that needed her attention the most.

Sakura looked at her not understanding for a moment, then she finally landed back to earth in her turn.

''Oh…let me try this.'' She said chuckling bitterly as the girl extended a hand to help her up.

Dismissing it with a shake of her head, Sakura took a deep breath, pushed herself off the ground using all the force she could master and swallowed the pain that strained her body out of the sudden effort back, standing in her two own legs kinda clumsily but with confidence.

Looking again at the sun setting behind the blond girl, she muttered in satisfaction.

''Well, it seems like I won't be completely useless, heh…''

Sasuke was sitting on a rock, breathing heavily, as he had been exhausted from his efforts to treat the wounded ones before and then bury the dead ones. He was glad that there were another surviving men to help him out in this, because the women weren't really all that strong to carry the corpses around.

No one of them had time to remain shocked or feel traumatized by what they had seen. The survival instict had kicked in and everyone was doing their best to deal with the situation without losing their minds.

He was still thinking of Sakura and was worried over her. He had asked Nicole to stay by her side in case she woke up and found no one around. The rest had gone deep into the forest to bury the dead bodies, seeing as if they would be spending most of their time by the seashore and it wouldn't be wise to let them rot close to their residential area.

His eyes shifted over to that Dai guy. He didn't seem very manly for his supposed age-Sasuke figured he was just over with his teens-. That other guy named, Cain, seemed strong and muscly enough, but he gave out the image of that balloon-y handsome but superficial guy that fans over himself. He wasn't too big, but he had the certain stereotypical air around him that annoyed him.

Nao turned and looked at Sasuke, rubbing her hands to clean them off the soil.

''Sasuke, stand up, please. We must say a pray for all the lost souls that didnt make it.'' She said kinda strictly.

Sasuke complied unwillingly and joined the circle under the gazes of Dai, Cain and Nao.

They all held hands and Nao whispered some words straight out of her mind as a pray and they all repeated them after her in unison.

After theuyhad spent their words, a brief silence of respect to the parted souls took place and soon they took their way back, with a sore heart for the sea shore.

''Now, we must find a way to get out of here.''Sasuke said in his cool tone, looking in front of him pensive but with confidence.

''Good luck with that.'' Dai mocked, too tired to be kind.

Sasuke only glared him sideways but didn't say anything. He didn't like that guy for some reason.

Nao looked at Dai.

''Such a spirit won't get us out of here, you know…''she said wiping the sweat out of her head.

Dai merely nodded, making his way around the thick herbs and leaves that blocked the path he followed.

''Nothing will, unless we knew where exactly we are and we had some device of communication with the outer world.'' The guy with the name Cain broke the tensed silence making all the gazes gather on him.

And I thought he was stupid. Sasuke thought in hidden surprise.

''Well, I have checked myself. My cell is broken. So is Nao's.'' Sasuke said tiredly.

''I had mine in a bag, which is now nothing but ashes…so I guess don't count on me.'' Dai said glaring Sasuke in something as close as to hostility.

''I don't carry cell phones, anymore. Too many people annoying me, so I got rid of mine months ago.'' Cain said raising his shoulders in admittance.

''Nice move for a guy that suggested the communication idea.'' Dai said, snapping out.

''Well, I didnt exactly expect to find myself in a deserted island you know. I have been flying for years with this flight and nothing ever went wrong.'' Cain said, slightly irritated.

''Guys, guys, now its not time for your fights. We dont have a way to contact someone out of here to help us , the end. And even if any of us had any cells, how on earth are we supposed to have signal here? This place seems forgotten by God himself.'' Nao said in a harsh tone, tired by the men's immature quarrels.

The two men looked at each other like a deer caught in headlights, feeling like fools for being reprimanded by a woman who seemed to take the situation more seriously than them.

As if Nao had read their thoughts, she rolled her eyes secretly and then shifted her gaze to Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at her back softly but tired, nodding slightly in approval. Who said whiny girlfriends didn't have their bright points, after all?

Back at the seashore, Sakura had walked by the water and had sat down in front of the sea, looking like lost in its crystal light blue water.

Nicole was still busy of rearranging some of the broken stuff and Sakura didn't quite understand what was their purpose. Sighing at her reflection, she plugged a finger into the water that was caressing her legs and she let her tears roll down silently.

''Who am I?'' she wondered in frustration.

''Enfin! Mon amour!'' Nicole yelled in her mother tongue-French- when she noticed that the team had come back and were walking towards the sea shore.

Running towards them and opening her hands widely, she fell into Cain's arms.

'' I am here, baby, everything's alright.'' The guy said, tapping her back.

Sasuke rolled his eyes in the sight but left them behind as he followed after a tired Nao who went to sit under the tend.

Dai just sat under a tree and started rubbying his leg, which was irritated by a plant he had stepped onto before.

Suddenly, he caught pink flash with the corner of his eye. Turning his head to the side in slow motion, he saw a figure sitting on her bottom, in a knee hugging position by the sea, her hands uniting in front of her legs, as her fingers rubbed absent mindly her ankles.

Sakura…

Looking one last time at Nao, he made sure she was far enough. He turned on his heel and started approaching Sakura slowly.

Sitting softly down next to her, he looked at the water, intensely stoic.

''Are you okay?'' he whispered, not bothering to look at her.

As if she had been pushed into frozen water, Sakura snapped out and turned her head to look at his handsome profile.

''You are pretty sneaky…''she said, kinda irked with the surprise.

''Anyhow,… I am fine. Thanks for asking.''she resumed, returning her glance at the water.

''No, really, are you fine?'' Sasuke asked forcing his tired but examining glance on her.

Turning to look at him for some moments in silence, her emerald eyes locked into his onyx orbs and something she saw in them scared her. She didn't know why but it was like she could read so many things in those eyes, like she knew this person from before, and very deeply. Even if his expression was emotionless and his eyes just neutral she felt shivers by looking into them.

''Do I…?'' she was ready to ask if she knew him but then she thought she was just hallucinating.

Then, snapping out and looking at him as if he was crazy she stood up and looked down on him, irritated.

''Why wouldnt I be fine? I am standing on my own two feet, aren't I?'' she asked weirded out by his strange persistance.

Sasuke turned his head unbothered upwards to look at her towering him in his side.

He was ready to tell her about the episode in the plane, where she had almost fainted but he wasn't sure if it would be good to try and bring memories to her in such a forced way, so he kept silent for the time being.

''I guess you are…''he said , his gaze shifting slowly to her feet, in tiredom.

''Exactly.'' Sakura said smiling sarcastically as she started walking away.

She didn't know why she felt like being so bitchy to the certain guy but something around him caused this to her, as if something that came from the past.

As she had started making steps ahead, she felt a hand grabbing her wrist and tugging her down.

Then, again, maybe I should tell her about us. It is only fair. Sasuke thought reconsidering his plans, in the fear to lose her again without even trying to keep her.

''Sakura,…we need to talk.'' He said as she paused to look at him, in surprise.

She didn't know why but him holding her hand made her feel weird and intense things in her stomach.

''I can't right now.'' She said, dragging her wrist out of his grip and after a brief silence of both parts, she made her way back to the tent.

Truth was that Sasuke was making her feel very intense sentiments for a reason she didn't know and this scared her. In the other hand, she wanted to talk to the other survivors and ask them what had happened. Maybe they could shed some light in her darkness.

In that thought, she walked unknowingly away from the only source that could actually provide her with such information.

Looking back into the water, Sasuke let out a soft sigh, as the gravity of the situation had finally started sinking in on him.

They were all in big trouble.
