My eyes flutter upon and I quickly sit up as soon as I realize im awake, I look around and sigh with relief seeing Ash sleeping on the couch.
I draw back the curtains and the bright morning light shines in warming my cool skin. I yawn while thinking back on last night. My aches so I decide to push the memory away for the time being and get ready for the day.
After getting dressed I walk out of the room to find everyone talking about various topics. Suzaku and Shun we're arguing about white and seasoned rice. Kana and Headmaster were talking about the island while Kirito and Kadachi played cards.
Kirito seemed to have noticed my presence and looks up to see me, we lock eyes and my heart skips a few beats.
*Ba-dump*
But instead of smiling like the usual or greeting me he completely ignored me and continued to play cards with Kadachi. My heart sank and I narrow my eyes.
(I guess he's still pretty pissed off about last night...)
I take a seat at a table away from everyone and stare out towards the sea watching the beautiful seawater pass by as we sail on. It was bittersweet considering the situation.
(Maybe I should just go back to sleep at this point...)
I yawned once more but before I could stand up the headmaster began to speak to everyone.
"Alright, everyone! We are about 1 hour away from reaching the island, Once there we will walk a trail for about 30 minutes to get to the safe house. Next, after we all have settled in the plan for tomorrow is to catch up on everything we all know so be thinking of everything that's happened over the past year!"
We all say yes sir and he nods feeling satisfied then returns to talking to Kana.
I stand up and head back to the room. But im stopped by a hand grabbing ahold of my wrist. I turn around to see Kirito looking down at me with a cold stare.
"We need to talk, Come with me."
I hesitate for a moment before nodding and he leads me to his room where he closes the door behind us. Once he faces me he sighs and looked a bit frustrated.
"I got hot-headed last night, im sorry for hitting your brother but I hope you can at least understand where I was coming from."
(I think this is the first time I've heard him be so sincere and thoughtful with an apology. It seems he's getting better at this.)
"I am sorry for slapping you too...I also just got angry..."
Kirito chuckles at my simple apology. I see his eyes dart towards my neck and he reaches towards it to touch the spot where Ash had bit into. He seemed to be conflicted still about the whole situation.
For a moment it was as if time had stopped and we stared at each other in peace. Kiritos gentle smile inches closer to mine. This time my heart not only skipped a few beats but it made me happy to feel this close to him.
He places his hand on my cheek and we lean in together. His soft lips touch mine and I close my eyes taking in every moment.
Kirito puts his other hand around my waist drawing me in closer as we deepen the kiss. Soon my head felt fuzzy and clouded as he pushes me onto the bed never breaking the kiss.
*Hmm*
We pull away for a second to catch our breaths and he starts to kiss my neck moving further down to my cooler bone.
"Kirito..."
I whisper his name but he just chuckles. Just as he's about to pull my shirt lower we hear the door creak which shocked us back into reality. We quickly sit up next to each other as the door opens and in walks Ash.
He stops in the doorway upon seeing us looking away from each other blushing. He chuckles and we both look up at him.
"Haha!! Well, it looks like you two made up in no time huh?"
I stayed silent but Kirito switched back to cool and collected mode.
"Being mad over you would just be petty."
Ash stopped laughing and his face went rigid.
"Kirito your to cruel!"
I giggle and they both look at me in confusion.
After everything settled down Ash announced to us that we'd be at the Island in about 10 minutes so we decide to go up to the deck. Once there we see a huge island covered in tall trees and surrounded by a beach. At first glance, it looked like a deserted island. I take a glance at Kirito who sighs while watching the waves pass by.
"Hey, why does this look so deserted?!"
We both turn around to see Kadachi who was pointing towards the island angrily. The headmaster comes up from behind him with a smirk.
"Just wait Kadachi...Be patient..."
Just as he says that we go through what seemed to be a hologram shield and behind that laid the true island. It was similar to the image of before except there are now watchtowers surrounding the island and guards walking up and down the beaches. In the middle of the island is a semi-big condo with lots of windows. the whole scenery was very beautiful.
Kadachi's mouth about dropped to the floor, he clears his throat and fixes his shirt, and starts to pretend like he said nothing.
"Well, what a beautiful island...haha!"
The headmaster slaps the back of Kadachis's head which in return makes him whimper.
"Ow! Damn you..."
We all chuckle while Kadachi pouts.
The next moment I feel Kirito intertwine his fingers with mine, My heart skips a beat which was a pretty normal feeling for me now. I could feel myself lightly blush but instead of staring at each other, we keep our focus on the island as we inch closer to it feeling a bit relieved to finally be somewhere where we can fix the issues at hand.
