T's and J's BWhile the others were occupied, Atsuko sneakily made her way out and headed towards the jungle. Thick forest with tall trees, hanging vines and other plants, the combined scent of vegetation, moisture, soil, and decaying plants and wood.. She could even hear distant howls, insects buzzing, birds singing....it was full of life yet so different from where they come from.
As Atsuko made her way deeper into the jungle, her friends were currently panicking.
15 minutes earlier---
"Mariko, where should I put these supply boxes?" Mariko slightly looked up from studying the map then pointed out a corner.
"Put it on top of that table please and just open a couple of them while you're at it, thanks Yuki" "Sure" Yuki calmly carried and put the boxes tidily, not forgetting to open a couple.
Mariko then checked on the others. After getting all the things needed from the yacht, they set up the tents and put some folding barricades about 3m high around their camp to keep animals at bay.
"Mayu pass me the hammer please, Tomomi help me hold this up"
"Hai chiyuu~!"
"Here you are." Mayu lazily handed the hammer. "Thanks" Haruna then quickly finish the task at hand. Mariko appeared not long after with Yuki in tow.
"How is it going girls?"
"Pretty much done here. Could have been quicker if one helped a little bit more." Mayu looked away when Haruna looked at her teasingly. They then have a good laugh. Mariko looked around like there is something or rather someone missing. Mariko face turned pale for a moment.
"Girls have you seen Atsuko?"
"Eto, I think I saw her heading that way..." Mayu answered, pointing towards the jungle's direction. The girls looked at each other. Mariko face palmed and sighed.
"Honestly that girl. We don't even know what danger awaits us in this island."
"Don't worry, you know Atsuko can protect herself." Yuki reassured with her usual smile.
"Even so..just in case. Haruna go follow Atsuko and bring her back."
"Why me?!" Haruna abruptly stood up from the floor. Tomomi gently patted the dust off her shorts as she also got up.
"Told you to keep an eye on her." Haruna sweatdropped.
"But I was busy...Okay, I'll go." Haruna sighed when Mariko narrowed her eyes.
The girls helped her get the things she might need. Walkie-talkie, a little knife, insect repellent and the list go on..
-----------------------
Atsuko continued on tracing a path through the jungle. So far no wild animal has crossed her, strange isn't it.
That's cause a certain someone has been watching her silently since she sneaked out.
Takamina knew, deep inside she knew who this woman was but can't really remember her name.
The necklace was a proof of it. Just then a sudden flashback appeared.
Flashback~
"Nami-chan!!"Minami could see a petite girl crying as she run towards her. The scene looked familiar.
"Promise me you'll come back!" the little girl was now hugging the little me.
Paused flashback~
Takamina closed her eyes, trying to recall what happened next.
Continue flashback~
"Take this, so when I'm not around, you'll still remember me" the little me handed something to the crying girl.
She took it with her tiny hands to see what it was.
"But this...your favourite necklace.."
"Keep it. So when we meet again you can return it to me." The little me then kissed the other girl and turned away.
"Let's meet again Acchan"...
"Acchan..." Minami's heart beat faster. Seeing her childhood friend all grown up into a gorgeous woman. A new feeling she hasn't experienced began to bloom.
"Nani? what is this strange feeling.." Takamina was questioning herself. Not knowing the answer, she continued to follow Acchan. Until they reached the waterfalls. The large waterfall was surging, plunging down the mountain, the bottom was deep and the crystal clear water makes you want to swim.
"Lex stay here okay? I'll go up stream so watch her for me." Lex wagged his tail in response.
"Good boy" Takamina patted Lex's head, took a vine and silently climbed. She swung and jumped a few times till she reached the top. There she stood and watched over Acchan who was currently playing with the water.
'I wonder if she still remembers....' A sad expression could be seen on Takamina's face.
------------
Meanwhile~
Haruna went to find Atsuko. But on her way, wild animals keeps on appearing scaring Haruna to her wits. One particularly made her freeze. In front was a big jaguar( Bigger than your average one), growling and fangs showing as if it was ready to attack her at any moment.
Haruna gripped on the machete and pointed it at the approaching jaguar.
"Don't come near me or I'll hack you!" Warned Haruna while slashing about. 'Great, as if a jaguar can understand what I say.' Haruna facepalmed mentally.
To her surprise the jaguar did stop on its track and sat down. Anyone could tell it was waiting for some orders.
"Eh?"
But then, someone grabbed Haruna on her waist and lifted her off from the ground.
Haruna shocked, looked at her kidnapper.
"KYAAAAAA!!!" Haruna's scream could be heard throughout the jungle, startling Mariko and the girls.
"HARUNA!!"
