When i woke up, i was in a room much warmer than the one on the ship...
"Jeez, you slept too long." I sat up to see Giggles, and Lobos in the room.
"We made it to Hawaii," Lobos explained at my puzzled expression.
"Let's go down to the beach," Asura suggested.
"Great idea! I'm sure that'll wake her up." She had a mocking tone in her voice. I glared at her.
"Are you crazy? It's hard not to notice when someone has red eyes."
"I'll say I wear contacts."
"Sure, and i guess that's supposed to explain how much we look alike." That threw her off for a second, but she had another excuse.
"From now on, we're cousins." I sighed. I guess there was no getting out of this now...
AT THE BEACH
We walked out onto the beach in out swimsuits. I wore a simple one piece sky-blue suit. Giggles wore a black two piece that had a rose pattern. As i thought, everybody stared at me and Giggles... Well, everyone except the bijus. But they were a bit confused. They had never seen her before. She scared me a bit when she called out someone's name.
"Kuuibi-san!! How are you?"
"Are you crazy?!" I whispered.
"Relax, I know what I'm doing."
You better. I thought, glaring at her. i knew she could hear. She just smiled at me and pulled me with her over to Kuuibi.
Someone please continue!!
~Kou & Giggles
Suddenly, I went into what I call, 'Random Freakout Mode.' It's really self-explanatory.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHERE'S LOBOS?! OMG I LEFT ASURA IN THE ROOM BY HERSELF!! THIS ISN'T GOOD!!" I tried to get out of the bed to go back, but someone stopped me. I didn't recognise the voice.
"Koumori, you're in your room." I still didn't calm down. The voice was just about as panicked as mine. Then I noticed it was Giggles. She was panicked because she was afraid they would get rid of her. I turned around, glaring at all of them.
"NO," I said in the strongest voice I could manage. They all looked confused at this. Giggles said something that surprised me.
"Let me talk to them." Before I could answer, she was standing right next to me. This only freaked me out further: I had no idea she could do that.
"HOLY CHOCOLATE PARMASAN CHEESE PIE!!!!!" I accidentally hit my head on the door frame, and it knocked me out; AGAIN.
Someone please continue?
me: 'holy chocolate parmesan cheese pie' is actually a phrase i came up with.
koumori: jeez, why do i keep on getting knocked out?
me: it's for your own good...
koumori: ...

REACAP (its been a while since my last post...¬_¬)
I've gotta get outta here... I've gotta get out... I wailed in my head. But how? All of my ways to get out of places like this lied in my voice, and I couldn't use it. Damn Orochimaru... He did this on purpose. So I couldn't escape. I started pacing from one side of the room to another, searching for a way out.
When I would get into the center of the room, it felt like my voice came back. I decided to try. I hummed slightly...
"Yes! It worked!" Lobos jumped at my sudden outburst. He didn't expect to hear my voice. "We're bustin' out!"
~~~~~
After I said that? I don't know what happened. I opened my eyes to what must be a lab, or something... There was something standing over me. It looked like... Me. Only much, much more menacing. The girl above me must have been 17, or so. Her hair was pitch black, and her eyes were a glowing ruby red. Despite that, she looked sad, somehow. I was immediately distracted by a voice.
"Is she awake?" It was Orochimaru. I now knew what the girl was. She was my Dark.
"Yes." Despite the rage consuming me, I was able to register the misery hinted in her voice. She did not want to be here. Suddenly, a wave of pain overcame me, and the Dark had dissapeared. It was coming into me. I wanted to scream, but I held it in. I knew that was what he wanted to hear. A scream of agony. Just like 10 years ago... As quickly as it began, it stopped. I was now aware of another consience inside me. She was quite controlled, for a new Dark.
"Lobos," Orochimaru called him like he was a slave. I Didn't like it. Neither did she. "Take her back to the ship, along with her friend. Stay with her, and report back to me."
I was utterly confused. About what?
"He wants to know how long you last..." The miserable voice from earlier sounded in my head, the pain even more evident.
The next thing I knew, I was in my room on the ship. Asura was in her bed, sleeping. I wondered if I had dreamed the whole thing. Then, I heard the familiar, heavy breathing of sleep. Lobos was here. I gasped. So it did happen. I had a Dark. His eyes snapped open.
You're awake? He shouldn't stay like that. It would freak out everybody, even the bijus.
"You can turn back to human, you know. It'd be much more normal."
His ears pricked up.I must go. Fall asleep. I felt the air shimmer as he turned into his human form. That was unfair. He knew it made me sleepy.
"Stay, okay? Don't go back." He knew what I meant. But as I fell into unconsiousness, I heard his footfalls headed towards Kuuibi's room...
Someone please continue!!
Koumori: wow...never saw that coming. thogught he'd make the process more painful, knowing Orochimaru.
me: hey, i'm writin' the story, 'kay? so quit whining. =P
koumori: 'mnot whining...
me: ...aren't you supposed to be asleep? GO TO SLEEEP. *uses hypnosis to make her fall asleep*
koumori: *falls asleep*
~koumori & her dark
I was finally coming to. The last thing I remember was finding Asura before blacking out.
How the hell did I black out?? I was really pissed. Did Asura do that? If she did, she was gonna get it. I sat up, expecting to be in my room on the ship. What I saw was completely different.
I didn't see anything. Just blue.
What's going on? Where am I? Then it clicked: I was captured. What was this place? I didn't remember it...
I brought you here. A request was given. a male voice thought. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, or how I heard him.
You are confused, I see. Here, let me show you what I am. In front of me was a beautiful wolf, the size of a horse. It had Sand-colored fur that seemed to glow. It enchanted me. I took a step forward, wanting to make sure it was real. The fur felt like... Fur.
A wolf the size of a horse? Impossible. I was more confused. I meant to speak, but the words came from my mind instead of my mouth.
Do not fret, young demon. At first, I was more confused than before. It knew what I was, but wasn't afraid? Confusion quickly gave way to understanding, than anger. This was the creature that took Asura. And me. I slid away, going into a fighting crouch.
Where is Asura?! I was angry. It could see that.
Your friend is safe. And please, stop calling me 'it.' My name is Lobos.
Lobos... I remembered that name. I couldn't put my finger on it... Where did I hear that name before? The regal wolf took a graceful stride towards me, closing the distance easily.
I am your brother. I finally remembered. But... My brother was taken my Orochimaru. He never came back. How was this possible?
I'm... I'm dead, aren't I? That's why I can see you. As I spoke, he shook his head.
You are not dead. I felt no reassurance in these words. You were taken my Orochimaru, as was your friend. He is taking the biju one my one.
Someone please continue!! Lobos is a character I made up for an original story, and decided to use him here.

Kuuibi and I split up to look for Asura. The sun was rising, and I could smell sausage in the restaurant... My stomach growled lowdly.
Well, maybe she's in there. Of course, that was an excuse to get breakfast... I hadn't eaten in a while, for some reason. When I got in there, no Asura. But I got some eggs and an orange juice to give me energy. After my too-quick meal, I got back to the search.
A FEW HOURS LATER
The game room... Resaurant... Pool... The room... I was mentally checking off the places I searched in. I heard my stomach for the third time this afternoon. I forgot to eat lunch, and didn't have enough food at breakfast.
I'll go have dinner, then. I need a good meal. As I ran to the nearest buffet, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Koumori!" It was Asura! Forgetting my hunger, I quickly ran over.
"Asura! Where have you been? Kuuibi and I were looking everywhere for you!"
"I decided to look around." That's when I realized... That wasn't her chakra. This wasn't Asura. Someone was after the biju. How did this person know my name? I didn't recognise this aura. I tried to get away, but I was swallowed by black before I could move my feet.
someone please continue!! I've been reading too many mystery stories lately...^-^'
