Part 10: Island of Memories

It's been 2 weeks now since Rizuki's almost death. The Sirius crew have been extra careful to not come into contact with anything that may harm Rizuki again.

"Is that all ya need Rizuki?" Nathan asked for the thousandth time.

"Yes, Nathan, this all I need," Rizuki reassured Nathan with a sigh.

"Ok, but let me know if ya need anythin'," Nathan responded as he smiled at Rizuki before walking out of her room.

"Thanks Nate," Rizuki thanked him. Nathan turned around and smiled at her.

"No problem," Nathan replied as he goes into the hall and walks up the stairs. Once he was on the dock Russell comes running over.

"How is he?" Russell asked curiously.

"He's doin' better than he was a week ago," Nathan answered with a shrug. Russell sighed in relief.

"That's good," Russell responded.

"Yes, because we're runnin' out of treasure and we're comin' up to another island," Captain commented with a sigh.

"For once I agree with Captain about us runnin' out of treasure and plus we're also runnin' out of storage," Eduardo remarked in worry, "We're gonna need to stop in town for some more supplies." The others nodded.

"Alright, well, how long until we get to this next island?" Nathan asked curiously.

"Soon," Captain responded with a shrug. Nathan sighed.

"Give me an approximate time," Nathan retorted as he crossed his arms over his chest impatiently.

"Alright! Maybe about 20 minutes or so," Captain responded, "There, satisfied?" Nathan nodded as he goes back towards the stairs.

"Where ya goin' Nate?" Christopher asked curiously.

"To tell Rizuki to get ready," Nathan explained shortly. Christopher nodded in understanding.

"Nathan, I'll tell him to get ready. Ya stay up here and get other thin's ready," Russell remarked quickly as he stepped in front of Nathan. Nathan raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"It's ok. I got it," Nathan replied with a shrug as he pushed past Russell. Russell frowned as he followed close after Nathan down the stairs. "Ya don't hafta follow me."

"Yes, I do," Russell responded quickly as he rushed in front of Nathan. Nathan eyed him suspiciously.

"Why are ya actin' weird all of a sudden?" Nathan asked as he looked at Russell. Russell froze in spot for a moment before turning around and facing Nathan.

"I ain't actin' weird at all!" Russell protested in panic. Nathan rolled his eyes as he pushed past Russell this time and walked down the hall. "Hey! Wait up!" Nathan ignored him as he continued to walk down the hall with Russell following right behind him. "I go in first." Russell jumped in front of Nathan again.

"The h*** does it matter who goes in first?" Nathan asked in annoyance. Russell doesn't respond. The truth was that Russell wanted Rizuki to think that it was he was the one who thought of the idea to come down and tell her about the island. "Whatever. If it will get ya to stop actin' weird then fine go in first." Russell smirked as he nodded and waltzed into Rizuki's room. Nathan came in after.

"Rizuki," Russell said. When they walked in they found Rizuki sleeping. Her eyes were closed and her short, jett black hair hung in her face, covering one of her eyes. She was breathing softly. Her chest was rising up and down at a steady rate. Russell and Nathan watched her in awe. Not knowing that they thought the same thing, they couldn't help, but think that she was just too pretty to be a boy. They slowly and quietly approached her bed and stood beside it, staring down at her. She looked so peaceful.
