((Once again, I leave for a day, and people are already on the brink of getting through another page. xD ))
Marluxia was always the type to think...a lot. He was in a more relaxed position, his scythe away now. Saix had meant not to threaten him, and his animalistic nature was something he was still pondering about. Naturally behaving like that, or was it something that had to do with his abilities? Anyhow, his throughts were completely interrupted by Yuffie, who was now bounding her way towards him, and finally stopped inches from him. Pinky?... He had enough of these ridiculous nicknames.
"It's Marluxia, nothing else. And Saix..." he drifted off after that, then nodded and headed towards Saix, a calm but slightly concerned expression playing on his face.
"Saix?" Was there something wrong? Then he felt a jabbing feeling in his stomach. The man winced. He was starving.

"This looks great, Saix!!" Yuffie reached out and snatched the cooked fruit before anyone else could even get a good look. "Ummm...smells good too." She bit off one entire corner of the fruit in one chomp and swallowed it almost without a chew. "Yummy!!! This is awesome!!! I might need to sneak some back home!!" A couple of bites later, and she had eaten the entire fruit and was looking at Saix for more. "Do I get some more? Don't be a meanie and make it one per person."
"Oh, speaking of meanies, I was talking to my friend Leon on-line just a few minutes ago." Her face contorted, like she had just experienced a bad scolding. "He says some other Organization guys have showed up around Radiant Garden, and one of them, I think his name was Zexion, got hurt somehow." She paused to eye a fruit that was almost cooked to perfection, then resumed her jabber. "He also says to look around for a gummi ship so we can get off the island. I haven't seen one though, have you guys?"
"By the way, shouldn't we tell Axel about this? I bet he's hungry too."

Marluxia raised an eyebrow, watching with more amusement than anything as Yuffie devoured the poupu fruits. He was going to let her eat her fill first, after all, she was a woman, whether hyperactive and animalistic or not. Though, his stomach gave him another jab, and he cringed. He watched with patience, folding his arms and gave a smirk at mentioning of Axel, since the name Zexion gave off that familiar ring in his mind. Another Organization Member. I recall somebody mentioning him online... he thought.
"Axel can find a way, I'm sure." Though the man was really hoping that the pyromaniac would starve. Another bubble of hatred added to the bottle he kept a tight lid. He would not lose his temper, he was calm and organized. Marluxia turned and realized that the last poupu fruit was finished. Did Saix even get a fruit? He hesitated at the thought. They needed to survive on the island, but Yuffie was already finished her second one. He sighed.
Survive by working together, and each getting a fair portion of food. Hadn't Yuffie been trained to survive in situations like this?
It didn't look like it.

"I wasn't supposed to eat all those....was I?" She turned to Marluxia, who didn't give a reply. s**t. That was probably EVERYONE'S dinner. Maybe if I had some damn self-control, the others wouldn't be pissed at me....or maybe I should have ate more before I left home, so I wouldn't have been so hungry. She stood up and looked around the cavern in case there was more food. Nope. Nothing. Damnit. Well, poupu fruit can't be the ONLY thing to eat here. I'll go look around and find something for the other guys' dinner. It's the least I can do, after all.
The sun was setting as she walked out of the cave, changing the color of the sky from tranquil blue to an intense red-orange. She had already passed a pile of food at the entrance of the cave, which she figured was collected by Saix, but she still walked on. Given my massive blunder, it's probably better if I still get some food for the others. At the swelling shoreline she could see Saix moving towards Axel as if to talk to him. Don't tell me they're going to fight again. Before any conversation could begin between the two men, she stepped in front of Saix and gave a respectful bow.
"I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. That was really stupid of me to do. If you want, I can walk around and find more food and make dinner for you guys. I can cook, you know, and I know what foods are edible and what are not. I'm not asking for forgiveness; I just want to say I'm really, really, REALLY sorry."

Axel looked over his shoulder at Saix on the roof of the shack, crossing to the island. He ignored him, and continued to mess around online, still pale and sickly. He felt the tide come in and jumped up, though that made him feel more ill. He gather his computer and sat farther inland.
"Damned tide." Axel muttered as he sat down. Just as he started to type, Saix was behind him. He could hear the sand under his feet shifting, not to mention he was all around loud, to Axel anyway. He had excellant hearing.
When he turned around, the ninja was there, bowing and asking for forgivness. This made Axel raise a crimson brow, and he shut the computer and put it into his over-sized pocket. He waited to hear what Saix had to say, and immediatly turned back to face the ocean dismissivally.
"Well now, you should have thought of that before you left me out here, shouldn't ya? I'm not in the mood to come back with you lot. I'll be murdered in my sleep." The sickened, slightly angry voice of Axel basically told them 'No and go away'.

If Axel was a dog, his ears would have pricked up at the word meal. But he sat stubbornly where he was.
"I've got food out here. And I ain't eatin' them girly fish. No way, no how." But Axel looked ove rhis shoulder, eyeing Saix carefully. He seemed to be honest enough. The pyro stood and turned to face him.
"But I guess I'll come anyway. I still don't trust ya though." Axel grumbled slightly, but agreed to come to the cave. There should be some clams or bananas or something back by that waterfall he'd seen. He could sense the arguements and instigating from where he was. Shojo Boy [Marluxia] wasn't going to be happy. Nosiree.

"Okay. While I'm looking, I'll scout out the otherside of the island, to see if anyone else is here." She looked down at Axel, with pity in her eyes. "Hope you feel better, Mr. Axel. I'll make sure to get some food for you that isn't coconuts, okay?" She skipped away from the men, moving towards the poupu island. Rather than go up on the bridge, she walked under the wooden planks, wading through the rising tide, towards what looked like a very tall, rickety wooden gate. As she got closer, she noticed that there was a small door, one obviously built for the use of young teens and adolescents. With her small stature, Yuffie was able to slip right in.
"Oh my...." It was obvious whomever was on the island previously hadn't spent much time on this side. The only signs of possible inhabitance was manifested in a rickety bridge, an even more rickety tower with a zip-line, and a sign that read "Cove." Rather than risk walking across the bridge, she jumped down into the shallow water and began to look around from there. Most of the island seemed to be made up of one meandering rock wall, with small strips of sand and ridges jutting out from the base of the cliff. There also small caves dotted around the side of the cliff, some of which were full of mushrooms and herbs.
"Jack-pot!!!" Yuffie cleaned out her pack, attaching everything except her lap-top and her shuriken to her belt, and filled the remaining space with whatever edible thing she could find. After clearing out a few small caves, she found a grove of coconut trees and placed a few small ones in the bag for herself, Saix, and Marluxia. "This will do for now. I can always drag the guys out here to collect more food."
As she was leaving, something caught the corner of her eye. In the fading light, it appeared to be some type of tarp, or perhaps a tent. "Hey, is there anyone over there?" As she moved closer to get a better look, it turned out to not be a tent at all, but a sail: a sail attached to an old, abandoned, but still in good quality raft.
"Oh. My. God." If this thing still works...we can sail it to an inhabited island...and go home!!!! Without a second thought, she sprinted back to the other side of the island, going ridiculously fast despite her heavy bag. "Guys!!!" She screamed the second the others came into view. "Guys!!! Guess what's on the other side of the island? Lots of food....And a raft!!! You know what that means?? We might be able to go home!!!"

Axel walked over to the cave, walking slower and behind Saix. Upon arriving, he immediatly sat down, laid down, and tried to fall asleep, as to sleep off the coconuts. But he immediatly shot up [which he later regretted] as the Ninja said she'd found a raft.
"Yes! We can finally get off this god forsaken island!

"It's nothing fancy, just a number of wooden planks bound together with rope, and a large white sheet tied to a staff for a sail. But it looks big enough for all of us to fit with some food. I'm not completely sure about the condition of the raft; it's hard to see now with the sun setting. If you guys want to see it now, I guess I can show it to you, but it might be better if we go tomorrow, when it's bright."
She dropped her pack onto the ground, the few coconuts she had stuffed in it spilling out. "That's for Pinky, Blue-Head, and me, and..." she pulled out a handful of herbs and mushrooms "this is for Fire-boy." Wrapping the food in two large leaves Saix had used to cook the fruit, she impaled the bundle onto a sharpened stick and held it just over the fire. Within seconds, a spicy, mouth-watering scent wafted from what she was cooking. After only a few minutes, she pulled the meal from the fire and opened the two leaves, revealing a surprising tasty looking meal.
"One Yuffie Surprise, ready to eat." She pushed it towards Axel, and then emptied her bag to reveal more edibles. "Who wants the next batch?"
