Kento was still very out of t when his arm was being wrapped up. Cye had ripped one of the sleeves off of his swim outfit and was using that. Some of the other sleeve had been torn off and was used to wipe some blood away from his own face, not like it had helped. Kento groaned and winced when Cye tightened the cloth over his arm, and blinked.
"Good to see you're still with me, friend."
"Cye…?"
Kento's vision was blurry, and it took him a while to adjust his sight to the darkness. The first thing he saw was red, and then he noticed he was face-to-face with his best friend. His arm really hurt.
"Cye… where are we?"
"I'm not sure. But I'm afraid wherever we are, we're stuck here."
"Oh, great…"
"Sorry."
"Huh? What are you apologizing for?"
"I should have seen this coming, and gotten us back to shore sooner! You got hurt because of it."
"Hey, don't go blaming yourself! I probably would have called you crazy if you said thee was gonna be a storm, anyway. This was completely out of our hands."
Then, Cye was silent a moment and Kento looked at his arm. Cye's sleeve was wrapped very tightly around it, but he could still move it, a little. His feet were scraped up, though, and that hurt more than his arm. He laughed a little at the irony of it, until he saw Cye sway a little and his friend fell back against the other side of the cave.
"Cye?"
Kento got on his hands and knees and reached out to check on him. That's when lightning struck again, and Kento gasped. Almost the entire left side of Cye's face was covered in blood. His skin split somewhere on his forehead, but he couldn't see where in the dark. Kento waited for another flash so he could locate the abandoned piece of cloth from his friend's other sleeve before making his way to him. He got the cloth wet in a puddle and folded it up, then he moved some of Cye's bangs away and pressed the cloth to what he thought was the cut. It bled some more, and Cye's eyes were closed at Kento tried to keep his head up.
"Cye? Cye! You still with me, man!"
Cye made a quiet noise in his throat, but didn't open his eyes.
"You couldn't keep me away no matter how hard you try…"
"Yeah, I guess not."
Kento lifted the cloth up and thought he was going to be sick. The blood was thick, and Cye was badly shaking.
"How long has this been bleeding, Cye?"
"…"
"Cye?"
"Mm?"
"How long?"
"Don't remember…"
"Oh, Cye…"
When he went to wet the cloth again, he noticed that he was shaking, too. Neither of them could dry off, and it was a very cold night by the water. Sighing, he washed the blood off of his friend's face and then he held him close. They needed to keep warm until someone found them. …if anyone ever found them. Cye was shivering a lot more than him, and he hugged his friend tighter.
"Hold on, Cye… you just relax now! I'll take care of things for a while…"
Back at the Koji mansion, Sage was getting a very bad feeling.
