6 Days, 2 Boys, 1 Drifted Boat
Chapter 2

Naruto's POV
I looked at Kiba, trying to read his expression. His eyes were wide but his face was relaxed. I knew what he was thinking though, we were pretty much stuck out here until someone found us. Who knows when that would be. And then we just started to talk the whole situation over, we were helpless now, we cant get ourselves out so we needed someone else to find and help us.

"Do you think my Dad will call the coast guard to search for us? If we don't come home in a few hours?" I asked Kiba, my hands at my side.
"Yeah, if they can even figure out our location, I don't know where the hell we are, we drifted way to far from the main ocean…."
"Hey, don't say negative shit like that, we won't be stuck out here for days and days. Of course we're gonna get outta here because our Dads will notice we didn't come home and send a search out for us!"
"It isn't that easy, the coast guard will have to wait till morning for the same reason we got stuck out here in the first place! They can't risk searching for us when the current is too crazy!" Kiba shouted
"Dude, shut the hell up! We're gonna get out of this! We gotta try, we can't lose hope yet, man! We just got out here, nightfall isn't for another few hours!"

Kiba rubbed his forehead and growled a bit before putting his short back on and sitting across from me on the boat. He looked insanely worn out already, and I was too. We didn't have food, or water, and that was what had hit us right after.
"Is it possible to drink salt water?" I asked, somewhat out of the random
"Yeah, but it'll hurt you. The salt will make you even more dehydrated, so dont even try. …" Kiba sighed.
"Cheer up, man. I'm worried too. But let's just fish a little bit, to get our mind off it, okay?"
Kiba looked at me, "yeah, sure"

Kiba's POV
We fished for a while, that was entertaining(even though we caught nothing but seaweed) And then we were out of fresh bait, so Naruto put a lure on his hook instead(which didn't do anything either)
It was boring after a while, we were still drifting out slowly. Not as fast as before. And there were waves no bigger than a foot. I quit on fishing, and just watched Naruto from then on.

It was around 5:00 when Naruto finally got a bite, or at least he thought he did. He was shouting real loud, "aaah! I got one! I got one!" and yanking on his pole. I told him to calm down and reel slower but apparently the fish was really heavy, so he was jerking around.
I had almost predicted what happened next, the pole's line snapped and sent Naruto flying backwards into me. Naruto had let go of the pole when he hit me, and catapulted it into the water.
"Idiot!" I yelled, pushing him off me.
"Aaah! My pole!" Naruto yelled, ignoring me and leaning over the side of the boat. The pole had already sunk into the deep depths of the ocean. "DAMN IT!" he growled, "I always drop everything! Now we're missing a paddle AND my new fishing pole!" Naruto was walking around frantically, looking like he was about to punch something, like me. So I stayed clear of him, trying to convince him to calm down.
"Naruto, dude, this isn't the time for going into rage mode! Okay? Sit down before you break something!"
Naruto glared at me, "Havent I already broken enough?"
"no, stop having a fit! This isn't the place, man!" I sounded like a mother talking to her screaming child in a supermarket, but this was serious.
With one swift move, Naruto punched the edge of the boat. Screaming as the hard, metal edge bruised his finger. And THEN he stopped, realizing he was truly going nuts.

He sighed, sat down and clutched his throbbing finger.

"I told you you would break something" I sighed, closing my eyes.

Naruto's POV
Okay, after my little temper tantrum, I told myself I wouldn't get out of control like that again. I had broken my middle finger over a dropped fishing pole; it was stupid to get peeved like that. I had to keep my temper down, and I had to get along with Kiba. I was stuck with him on a boat; he was the only one with me. And he would be for a long time.
We sat around on the boat for a little while, listening to the waves. They seemed to be getting larger and larger. And the sun was beginning to set.
Now I felt myself getting nervous, every time I thought about having to spend the night out on the ocean a stab of fear stuck into my chest.

I had never done it before, and neither had Kiba. He said he didn't even know what the temperatures got to be out this deep at night.
And I was starting to fatigue real bad right now, I dozed off for a minute or so but Kiba woke me up.

Kiba's POV
I felt Naruto's pain. I was tired too. And hungry. And thirsty. And nervous.
I couldn't see the beach anymore; it had been that way for more than an hour now. And I couldn't where the sand bar was either, the one we tried swimming to. So basically, all around us was nothing but ocean.

I was lying on my back, across one of the benches on the boat. Naruto was sitting, hunched over on the ground.
We were pretty much inches from sleep, just laying there as the sun set.
"Hey Kiba?"
"What?..."
"If we fell asleep right now, and woke up on the beach of a deserted island, would that be a good thing?"
I sat up, "pffftt, yeah, in a fantasy book. There aren't any magical islands at all near our state…. I doubt that would happen…"
"I never said it had to be magical… and you still didn't answer my question!"
"Fine, I guess it would be pretty cool…." I yawned, laying back down.
"Okay, so…. Why?"
"I don't know… I guess because in all those shows about shipwrecks and stuff, the victims end up on a pretty island and make nice with monkeys…." I started to laugh at the thought.

"Oh, I wish something like that would happen…" Naruto said, he seemed real sad and tearful, but was still smiling….

"It's possible… if we stay close and never give up hope…." I cant believe I was actually saying something as cheesy as this…. But Naruto gave me a soft smile instead of an odd look and grinned "that's the spirit, dude… we'll keep holding on, and then we'll make it out okay!"
I smiled back at him, laughing some more "And then we can go visit a tropical island, once we get home! And make nice with monkeys!" I added

"Yes, yes… nice monkeys…." Naruto chuckled.

I sighed, looking up at the sky. I had expected to see pretty shades of red and orange. But actually, I saw something that made me leap to my feet.

Rain clouds. Big, dark, rain clouds.

And they were bringing one hell of a freak storm with them…..
