"Oh. Sumire-chan, you must be superlucky!" Narumi-sensei giggled at the green haired girl.
Sumire just stared at it. She couldn't believe her own eyes, they had to be decieving her. She glanced at Narumi and then let her gaze drop back to the small, golden bead that had just dropped from the raffle machine.
"FIRST PRIZE TO SUMIRE SHOUDA! FIRST PRIZE TO SUMIRE SHOUDA!" Narumi yelled from the top of his lungs, even though the two were alone in the hallway.
This was the latest dumb idea from Narumi. He started selling his extra clothes away, with ridiculous prices. Anyone, who bought something from him, got to spin the raffle. Unfortunately, no one was interested in his frilly outfits, so nobody got to raffle either. Sumire was just pitying the teacher when she bought a hat from him. Maybe karma had kicked in and done its share, but she didn't really care how it had happened. She just knew that she had just won a hot spring trip for ten. She finally snapped out of her trance when Narumi gave her five tickets.
"Here you go! Each of these tickets gives you access to couple rooms at the hotel. Don't worry, that means you can be with your best friend too!" Narumi laughed and danced away with the raffle table around his waist.
Sumire sweatdropped and stared at the tickets.
'What kind of a high school teacher would give out hot spring hotel tickets to a high school student and not care who she goes with? Shouldn't he come too? I wouldn't want to go if he was coming though. Who should I invite?'
'I'm so stupid!' Sumire groaned in her thoughts.
"Can't deny that!" Koko laughed at her.
She glared at him and that idiot brunette nullifier. She had told her 'not to worry' and that 'she'll take care of everything'. Never would Sumire have thought that Mikan would actually bring five guys and three girls along. How stupid could the girl get?
"Mikan."
"What is it, Permy?" Mikan beamed.
"You do know that we have five rooms, right? Each one for two people, right?" she asked and glared daggers at her.
"Silly Permy! Of course I know that! I'm not stupid! That makes ten people! So it's you, Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko, Natsume, Ruka-pyon, Koko, Kitsuneme and Iinchou!"she counted with her fingers, frowning when she got nine.
"Ah? Someone's missing?"
"You didn't count yourself," Sumire sighed.
"I see! So we make ten after all! No problem at all!" she laughed.
"THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM HERE! How were you going to divide the rooms?"
"Of course, it's me and my darling Hotaru... Anna and Nonoko... Natsume and Ruka-pyon..." she trailed off staring at the remaining four.
Sumire was glaring at her. Koko and Kitsuneme were laughing their heads off. Iinchou looked troubled.
"Stupid," Natsume scowled.
"What should I do? I can't disappoint anyone, can I?" she whined, not even noticing Natsume's teasing.
Sumire's eyes flashed when she got a brilliant idea. She grabbed Koko's arm.
"I can share a room with this guy!" she exclaimed and glared at him.
When Koko started grinning like a mad man (he was doing that before too, though), she knew he had read her mind.
"Yeah, yeah! It's not like we haven't slept together before!" he laughed and got elbowed in the gut.
"Don't say things that will lead to misunderstandings!" Sumire growled and took off.
"UWAAAAH! It's so pretty!" Mikan shrilled.
Natsume rubbed his ear that had just suffered a Mikan-attack. Everyone was standing in front of an old-fashioned mansion with a large, beautiful garden spread around them.
"It may be pretty, but name is a bit..." Nonoko sweatdropped.
A big sign above their head said 'Love Trap'. They entered the building, which was even more grand inside and went to check in. For some reason, the check-in counter was empty.
"IT'S NOT EMPTY!" a cute voice screamed at the narrator.
The gang could head a loud thump and see all the stuff on the counter jump slightly. Then a blonde girl came from under the counter, rubbing her head. Correction, an incredibly small, blonde girl came from under the counter, rubbing her head. Seriously. Her chin was at the level of the counter top, which was about the level of Mikan's hip.
Her blonde hair reached all the way down to the floor, creating a golden pool around her feet. Her eyes were lined perfectly to resemble cat eyes and the color of her eyes was such a light blue that they were almost white. She was wearing a black dress that was made out of a bodice and a ruffly skirt. Her arms were covered with long, black and silky fingerless gloves. Every finger nail was painted black. Her outfit was topped with black knee-length boots, a black hairband holding back her fringe and white bunny ears that sprouted out of her head. They stared at her in awe.
"What's the matter? Never seen a loli girl before?" she grinned at them like a cheshire cat.
"Wow. Now that we brought Polka here, it's a lolicon paradice..." Natsume said and slammed the tickets to the table.
The girl took a step backwards and bowed to them.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Matsuda Rika. Calling me Rika is fine. I'm the owner of this place, so just call me if you need anything!" she smirked.
"EEEH? Rika-chan is the owner!" Mikan shrieked.
Rika glared at her.
"Sixth most important rule here, keep your voice down!" she hissed and turned around to snatch five keys from a hook attached to the wall.
"I-I'm very sorry!" Mikan whispered and bowed her head.
"Follow me," she snapped.
She ran around the counter and up the stairs. The gang followed her. Natsume, Ruka, Rika, Sumire, Kitsuneme and Hotaru were climbing the massive stairs with ease (most of them using their alice), while Mikan, Anna, Nonoko, Yuu and Koko were lagging badly behind.
When all of them finally got upstairs, they saw endless rows of doors on each side.
"Let's see... Available rooms.."
Rika started muttering to herself as she led the group through the labyrinth-like hallways.
"We have to keep an eye on the idiot, or she might get lost," Hotaru noted.
Natsume nodded seriously. Mikan started screaming at him and got another glare from the chibi owner. Finally they arrived to a dark corridor with exactly five doors, three on the right and two on the left.
"These will be your rooms during your stay. Remember to call me if you need anything," Rika said and walked away.
They immediately went to investigate the rooms. Koko shut the door after him and Sumire. They smirked at the same time.
"What should we do?" Koko asked.
"The details are still blurry, but the destination is crystal clear," Sumire sighed and sat on the bed.
"Get them paired up?"
"Exactly."
They smirked at each other again.
Let the game begin...
A/N: It's a new story! This will be a... Six-shot? O_O Probably. Yeah. Ahem. Moving on. ...School sucks. That's it for today, thank you. Bye-bee!
