Snippet #1925747

Naoki watches as the coconuts, one by one, tumble towards the ground below with the help of gravity. She picks one from the bunch, rotating it between her hands to feel it's weight and to perhaps hear the milk move inside. It sent her stomach growling slightly, but she was unsure of how to open it...It was at that moment that Naoki realized Zenith's apparent rudeness towards the two girls which just arrived. She wasn't sure what to think of it...It wasn't something in which she had expected, being that he had not treated her in such a way. Would he eventually treat her like that too? She didn't like the idea...If he did, maybe she would just leave him alone..Maybe that was what he wanted at that moment; to be left alone....

So when he broke open his coconut, and began to dine on the white meat inside of it, she frowned slightly, wishing she could open hers as well. She wasn't strong enough to kick it open, that was for sure, and there wasn't any rocks big enough to break it open..."I'm Naoki..." She replies in question to the two girls, after they announce themselves, and Zenith announces himself to them. She was a bit late in the reply, but had been to busy thinking over options for her food. Naoki was so busy with thinking it over, that she hadn't even noticed that Zenith had stepped in front of her, seeming to separate her and the two girls.

With curiosity, Naoki begins to smack the coconut against the base of tree. But, without much surprise, it failed to even crack the fuzzy coconut. "Hm.." She mumbles to herself, dropping it to the sandy ground, and trying to kick it as well. This only resulted in her slipping and falling face first into the dirt. With a few coughs, Naoki stands back up with embarrassment, brushing the dirt from her clothes and hair. She gives a soft, nervous giggle. "Oops..."

But it seemed the others were to busy with each other to notice her embarrassing mistake, to her relief. It was at that moment, though, that rage seemed to break between them. Some yelled, and ran. Zenith ran after one of the girls, in anger, grabbing her and turning her to face him. His rough breathing indicated not only his anger, but how hard he had ran. Her sky blue eyes grow wide in shock, her body frozen; unsure of how to react to the situation which was at hand. Naoki then watched as he fell to his knees, the anger seeming to leave his body as if it was his spirit..."Z-zenith..." Was all she could mumble out, still slightly too afraid to move.

With hesitation, Naoki watches as he walks, seemingly empty, towards the electric fence. Her heart is racing, pain flowing through her body. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. Especially Zenith. There was something about him which gave her some sort of link back to home. He was understanding, and hurt just as she did. She was about to yell out to him; to try and get him to stop. It was apparent what he was going to do...But the other girl seemed to already reach him first. She was relieved, glad that he had been stopped, but also, still worried. She felt...useless...helpless...And the pain in her chest only seemed to grow...She had never realized how other Deviant hurt; some more than her...It had only ever just been her...As if she were the only one...But there were so many others; and some had hurt worse than her....At least she had gotten to be with her family...Zenith...his had fallen apart so quickly and so fast...

Leaving the coconut where it sat, buried within the sand, she decides to walk off. Naoki wanted to get away...Maybe find some water...They were on an island, after all...Maybe she could put her feet in the cool ocean and just let the worries wash away...That was what she needed...Pushing her way through the large crowds of Deviant, she disappears amongst the many different colors...

(Woa, I'm totally falling behind you guys x-x)
