[Moonlit Dream]

Hands clawing desperately at the water, Kurou's vision blurred as water filled it, the unseen salt of the ocean's waters burning like fire, stinging like a knife. As he sank, bubbles poured from Kurou's nose and mouth, and he wanted to scream, but only precious air found its way out instead of noise. He felt a dull fog beginning to close in on his vision, and his body was becoming numb. His lungs felt like they were burning. Like they were going to shatter into a thousand treacherous, painful shards within him. His golden hair was tinted green by the blue of teh water, tugged by a gentle current, and as his blue eyes closed, Kurou was over taken by a deathly calm as he became so scared that all his fear fled. His last conscious thaughts drifted away even as he wondered why it was always him that ended up in these kinds of situations...

Nanami stayed true to her word and woke a minute later, feeling a little better. She blinked and looked up at the surface, not seeing Kurow. Panic filled her heart as she surfaced and didn't see his blonde head anywhere. She dove back down, twisting and turning around in the water, desperate to find him. She saw a motionless body a few feet below her and her heart sunk as she recognized its outfit. She quickly swam towards him, scooped him up, and pulled hun up to the surface. She swam as fast as she could towards the island, holding his head above the waves.

Kurou was unconscious, feeling gone from him. As Nanami brought him to the surface, his limp body drooped in her grasp and head swung with her movements until it came to a rest on Nanami's shoulder. He was heavier than usual, soaked through and filled with water was he. His eyes were opened to slits, the glazed pupils slightly visible, and his lips were parted. His feminine face still held a look of sadness, almost, but other than that it was peaceful as though he were merely sleeping.

Nanami held Kurow's arms over her shoulder so she wouldn't drop him. The extra weight made it a little harder to swim, but she could manage. Soon, she reached the island. She crawled onto the shore and gently laid Kurow down on the sand.

[Moonlit Dream]

Even as they reached the island, Kurou was still. Lying on the sand, there was droplets of water over his skin and his clothes were dark with the water that clung to them. It was a few second before Kurou began to show any traces of life; his chest heaved as he tried to draw in a constricted breath, and then his body jerked as he coughed violently, choking up mouthfuls of seawater that poured over his face and onto the sand. His eyes were tight shut at first, eyelashes fluttering as Kurou drifted into a lighter state of consciousness, but then they slowly flickered open, kurou's pupils beginning to move about blearily as he tried to see through the drunken haze that clouded his vision.

Nanami watched him closely, worried about him. He seemed alive, but barely. "I'm so sorry, Kurow..." She murmured, not knowing what else to say.

{Sorry...writer's block.}

[Moonlit Dream]

Kurou looked up at Nanami confusedly even as his vision began to clear. Quietly, he began to draw a hand through his soaking locks of hair. "Sorry? ...What happened?" he asked, grimacing as his throat stung as though he'd just yelled his heart out for an hour and a half or not drank anything in a week. There was a pain in his head as the feeling began to replace his numbness. He slowly began to look around, the blurring on his vision fading. "Are... Are we in Ryoshima?" he asked quietly, barely recagonizing it, but he sighed slightly. At least they were in familiar terrain.

[==★ тea & caĸeѕ ★==]

Nanami shook her head. "You almost drowned!" She said, frowning. "And no, we aren't. We're on an island somewhere in the ocean..." She murmured, patting his head gently. "We need food and fresh water..." She murmured quietly. "But I can only flop on land..." She SIS quietly, looking at him with a defeated face. "I'm sorry..."

[Moonlit Dream]

Kurou grimaced. "You don't say..." he said quietly, as he finally began to grasp the memories of what happened. He looked up at her quizzically as she patted his head, blue eyes searching. "I'm not hungry... Or thirsty," he said, frowning at her. "I just want to get back to Ryoshima... The people know me there, at least, and we might be able to, like, get some help. I'm no medical expert, but I think it's starting to get infected..." he looked down at his wound, which had begun to throb more than before, and the blood that had begun to seep through his clothing was paler than before, but he didn't dare check. "Do you think you could, like, keep up with me if I flew and you swam beneath me?" he asked her, blinking in newfouund determination. "I think I'll manage."

[==★ тea & caĸeѕ ★==]

Nanami nodded, blinking at him. She started to flop towards the water, waiting for him to fly off. She wasn't exactly sure if she could follow him, but she sure could try...
