Part 11: Island of The Sirens

Ever since Rizuki received her forgotten memories of Nathan she had been constantly avoiding him. She just didn't seem to know how to act around him. Russell took this as a good sign and tried desperately to steal her away from Nathan, but still Rizuki showed no sign of sharing Russell's feelings. The others had tried talking to her, but she mostly just told them nothing.

"Hey Rizuki, ya excited?" Thomas asked curiously.

"For what?" Rizuki asked in confusion.

"To go to the Island of the Sirens of course," Thomas responded. Rizuki nodded in understanding.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so," Rizuki replied with a shrug. Thomas looked at her worriedly. Rizuki seemed awfully quiet since the Island of Memories and he wondered why.

"You guess so?" Thomas asked in surprise. Rizuki nodded. "That's funny because imma sure that ya kept askin' when we're gonna get there." Rizuki shrugged.

"I don't know. I mean, I'm not a big fan of going there just to hang with women," Rizuki explained. She wasn't that into it because she was a woman herself. She wasn't interested in women. She was more intent on finding out about Nathan being her first love.

"Yer really weird Rizuki," Thomas replied with a smile. Rizuki smiled back.

"Boys, welcome to the Island of the Sirens!" Captain announced as he pointed an island a few meters away. There it was. The Island of the Sirens. It was a rather beautiful island from the looks of it. There were people on it and what looked liked cabins were there too.

"Yes, we're here!" Thomas exclaimed excitedly and happily. Rizuki stifled a laugh at Thomas' excitement.

"Eduardo, there's a dock. Aim the ship towards the dock," Captain instructed. Eduardo nodded as the ship got closer and closer to the island. As the ship approached a group of tall, slender, and elegant women came towards the dock and stood there staring at the ship. The crew, except for Rizuki, stared at the women with smirks on their faces. Rizuki rolled her eyes at this. She was quite surprised that even Eduardo was staring. She would have thought out of all them that he would have just rolled his eyes.

"Um, guys?" Rizuki asked with a blank expression as she noticed that the ship was heading straight for the actual dock itself. The crew ignored her as they continued staring at the women on the dock. Rizuki sighed in frustration. "Hey Eduardo!"

"Yeah?" Eduardo asked not really paying attention. Rizuki groaned as she walked up to Eduardo and stood in front of him, blocking his view. "Hey Rizuki!"

"Well, sorry, but I was trying to tell you something and you weren't listening," Rizuki explained with a shrug. Eduardo tried to look around her, but she kept stepping to keep Eduardo from continuing to stare at the women.

"Rizuki, outta the way!" Eduardo exclaimed in annoyance as he gestured with his hand for her to move.

"No, not until you listen to what I have to say first," Rizuki responded stubbornly as she held her ground in front of him. Eduardo scoffed as he gave up trying to see past her.

"Now ya wanna talk?" Eduardo asked in annoyance.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Rizuki asked in an annoyed tone.

"Well, this whole week we've been tryin' to talk to ya and yer've been givin' us no answers," Eduardo explained, "Why should I have to listen to ya if yer not gonna listen to me?" Rizuki sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry about that. I just have a lot on my mind right now," Rizuki explained as she looked apologetically at Eduardo. Eduardo sighed, but nodded in understanding.
