Snippet #1935470

Naoki was still hypnotized by the ugly figure in the reflection of the water below her feet; the bright orange hair and blue eyes seeming like a giant blemish on the world's most beautiful woman. It just...stuck out...She didn't even notice that Zenith had come to join her, so when his deep, yet gentle voice finally spoke out, Naoki let out a gasp and quickly spun to face him. This caused a small splash below her, tearing the reflection apart and seemingly scattering it into the deep abyss of the ocean. Her eyes stare hesitantly into his, reflecting the movements of the water, and almost seeming as if they were the ocean themselves. For a few moments, it was if she were a deer in head lights; her eyes wide with surprise. It took her a while to register who it was; having been pulled so suddenly out of her deep thoughts.

Her cheeks turn a slight pinkish color at his words. An angel?...What did angels look like?...Did they look like the perfects?...Could you only be an angel if you were a perfect? Were the deviants doomed to be nothing but demons?...But the compliment he gave her still made her heart race. Just seeing his face caused her stomach to fill with fluttery butterflies that seemed they would never calm down. "An angel?...Why?..." Naoki asks. She wanted to hear more of his words. They calmed her; made her feel safe..She just wanted to fall asleep and hear his words; never wanting them to end...He was kind to her, and she needed that in the situation they were in now...She just needed someone to care....

While waiting for his answer, she gazes away from him, towards the water at her feet. Small minos gathered around, giving kisses to her toes. It tickled slightly, and she wiggled them, causing them to bury deeper within the wet, loose sand. It was at that moment that she realized she still hadn't eaten anything...And even if she were to return to eat a coconut, it wouldn't give her what she needed...It really wouldn't give any of them what they needed...It would only help for a short while...If there was just a lost fishing line stuck somewhere down the beach..."You know, we could make a fishing pole...fish for food...It would give us much more protein then those coconuts..." She mumbles, already seeming to be searching for the fishing line that may not even exist.
