~Suzuno's POV~
Ugh... Summer vacation, there was no more snow to be seen... It was so hot that I couldn't open my eyes wide open because of the shinning light of the sun, it's just been like months after my birthday... And another problem... We're going out camping.
Chapter 1: Out Camping
It was a hot summer day, and all of the children were riding the bus, good thing there was an air-condition.
"Ugh.. Are we there yet Hitomiko-san?" Nagumo groaned unpatiantly.
"Nagumo, fot the third time, no." Hitomiko replied, annoyed.
"It looks so hot outside..." Suzuno said kneeling on her seat, looking outside the window, she was carrying Yuu-chan in her other arm. "I change my mind..." She turned to Hitomiko.
"Suzuno, it's not all bad, it'll get cold tonight, though." Hitomiko smiled.
"...Fine." Suzuno sat down crossing her arms, hugging Yuu-chan. "But why didn't bring dad along?"
"Because he said he had things to do..." Hitomiko replied.
"Oh..." Suzuno looked down.
"Don't worry Suzuno! It's one of the best camping spots!" Nagumo smiled.
"Yeah right..." Suzuno turned away pouting.
"C'mon, cheer up! ...Besides, you brought the music bo-"
"Shut up!" Suzuno covered Nagumo's mouth. "Only you know this, don't tell anybody." She whispered.
"Okay! Fine!" Nagumo rolled his eyes.
"Good." Suzuno sighed.
Soon, after few more hours, they arrived the camping site.
"Where here! Wake up!" Hitomiko started climbing down the bus.
"Oof!" Atsuishi stretched and yawned, then stood up.
"We're here...? Already...?" Netsuha yawned.
"Sleepy head! Of coarse we are!" Kurione flicked his head.
"Ow! Okay! Okay..." Netsuha stood up.
"'Kay guys, get your things/ stuff" Hiroto said, bringing his.
"Finally! I've been waiting for years!" Nagumo took his bag and rushed outside.
"N-Nagumo! Wait for me!" Suzuno took her bag, carrying Yuu-chan with her arms and followed Nagumo outside.
Later, Hitomiko was checking the checklist, everyone was in a line carrying their bags.
"I guess everyone's here! You can all have fun while I'm fixing up the tents!" Hitomiko smiled. Everyone rushed happily to the south, but Suzuno tilted her head.
"Where's everyone gone, Hitomiko-san?" Suzuno turned to Hitomiko.
"Well, since this is your first time, we'll just save that for tomorrow." Hitomiko replied.
"Okay..." Suzuno noticed that Hitomiko was going to set up so many tents. "Can I help you Hitomiko-san?" Suzuno asked.
"R-really, sure? Thanks Suzuno!" Hitomiko smiled, and showed her some pieces. "Okay just put this stick through the clip there then I'll help you set them up, okay?"
Hitomiko asured Suzuno. Suzuno nodded, and did exactly what Hitomiko said.
Not more than an hour, Hitomiko and Suzuno were finished setting up the tents. It was getting pretty late.
"Wait here, I'll call them." Hitomiko stood up and went the direction where all of them did.
"O-okay..." Suzuno trembled hugging Yuu-chan tightly, she didn't like being alone, even for a second.
Suddenly, the bushes started rustling, Suzuno turned around quickly, but the rustling stopped.
"H-hello...?" Suzuno said, shivering, when she turned to another way, the bushes started rustling again. "Eek!" Suzuno turned again, completely frightened.
This time, the bushes didn't stop rustling. Suzuno closed her eyes and buried her face on Yuu-chan.
"Please don't hurt me... Please don't hurt me... Please don't hurt me..." Suzuno whispered, then something touched her shoulder. "AAH!" Suzuno shouted.
"AHH!" Nagumo shouted too, he was shocked as well.
"NAGUMO! D-DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" Suzuno snuggled Yuu-chan. Nagumo laughed.
"Sorry..." Nagumo smiled. Suzuno puffed her cheeks, then she noticed Nagumo's pants, they were soaking wet until the lenght of his knees.
"Why are your pants wet?" Suzuno looked at his pants, pointing at them.
"Oh? My pants? Well... Since this is your first time, it would be better if it was a surprise." Nagumo chuckled.
"Not even my bestfriend would tell me!" Suzuno whinned.
"Sorry, Hitomiko-san said so." Nagumo smiled.
"Fine..." Suzuno pouted again.
"Oh the tents' are fixed! Did you fix them with Hitomiko-san?" Nagumo asked, noticing tents' well fixed.
"Mh-hm." Suzuno nodded.
"You did a pretty good job, though." Nagumo smiled. "Well...! I gotta change my pants now!" Nagumo walked to his bag and took it to the bathroom with him. Everyone followed coming out the bushes soaking wet.
"Everyone go change before I set the partners for each tent." Hitomiko smiled, everyone nodded and got their extra clothes.
"Where did you all go...?" Suzuno asked.
"We went to the-"
"SHH! KURAKAKE! NOT TO SUZUNO!" Everyone hushed at her.
"S-sorry Suzuno... We tell you, 'till tomorrow..." Midorikawa continued walking to his bag.
"O-okay... If you say so..." Suzuno sighed.
Later, after they were done changing, all of them grouped in front of Hitomiko. Hitomiko was reading the list.
"I hope that I'll be with Kurione or Kurakake..." Suzuno was saying in her mind.
"Okay! I'm going to tell your group now." Hitomiko said happily. everyone crossed their fingers. "Okay... Midorikawa, Saginuma, you'll stay in that tent over there." Hitomiko pointed at a tent.
"Okay!" Midorikawa smiled. They went inside the tent already.
"Okay... Kurakake, Kurione, you stay at that one." Hitomiko pointed at another tent.
"Yes!" Kurakake and Kurione rejoiced and brought their things and bags to the tent. Suzuno sighed.
"Yagami, Rean, stay there." Hitomiko pointed.
"Okay Hitomiko-san!" They both got their things and went in the tent.
"Atsuishi, Netsuha, over there, under that tree." Hitomiko pointed at the tent that was under a tree.
"What? Hitomiko-san!" Nagumo whinned.
"Well, sorry Nagumo, rules are rules, you have to be paired with your roommates." Hitomiko replied.
"...Fine." Nagumo sighed, smiling.
"Well that leaves you Hiroto and Suzuno!" Hitomiko smiled, closing the checklist.
"H-huh...?" Suzuno looked up at Hitomiko.
"C'mon Suzuno, get your bag and let's fix our sleeping bags and things in the tent." Hiroto smiled and walked toward the tent.
"Hey! Don't leave us here!" Nagumo stood up and got his bag.
"W-Wait for me!" Suzuno got her bag and followed them.
Later, it was time for dinner.
"It's time to eat!" Hitomiko shouted from the outdoor kitchen.
"Hey we better go to the campfire." Nagumo started going out the tent.
"Yeah... I'm pretty hungry now..." Hiroto held his tummy laughing.
"Campfire?" Suzuno tilted her head.
"Yup!" Hiroto nodded.
All of them went out to eat. They all sat down in long-cutted wood surrounding a campfire.
"Here, get one each." Hitomiko got a plater of fish on sticks, everyone rushed to get one and eat.
"Hey! Who wants scary stories?" Nagumo smirked. Nearly everyone raised their hands, then Nagumo started with the story.
"Once opon a time... One camp site was haunted long ago..." Nagumo started. "It all started with a little girl, nobody liked her, nor want to play with her, she was a loner, everyone teased her, call her names. But one day, the've gone too far, when she was by the dock, all girls bullied her and pushed her off to the water, later than they realized, they noticed she didn't know how to swim! They felt guilty, unable to save her, seeing her drown and die in the shallow water, dead... Then, the teacher's were looking for her, but they wouldn't admit, they killed her! At night when they're in their tents they would hear cries and anger from outside, but when they checked, nobody was there, there were laughs of a girl echoing, they covered their ears, but they could still hear it, the next day, all the girls disappeared after that night, they could not be found, until now, that's why when people camp there, they disappear..." Nagumo smirked.
Everyone was scared, stiff, Suzuno hugged Yuu-chan tightly while eating the fish. Nagumo laughed.
"N-Nagumo..." Suzuno and the others trembled.
"You all know that was just a made up story!" Nagumo chuckled.
"S-still..." Everyone was still scared.
"Ugh...! You guys are scardy cats!" Nagumo puffed up his cheeks and ate his fish.
Later after eating, they immediatly brushed their teeth, some slept already. When Hiroto, Nagumo, and Suzuno were about to sleep, they had a little chat first.
"So... Does anyone have a topic?" Hiroto asked sitting down on his sleeping bag.
"Well... Suzuno, may I ask?" Nagumo turned to Suzuno laying down on his bed, supporting his head with his arms crossed.
"Sure...!" Suzuno was sitting down on her sleeping bag too, hugging Yuu-chan.
"Um... Where did Yuu-chan come from?" Nagumo pointed at her stuffed rabbit.
"Um... Yuu-chan came from my parents' on my sixth birthday!" Suzuno smiled. "I would let nothing wrong happen to him!" Suzuno snuggled Yuu-chan smiling. Hiroto chuckled.
"How 'bout you Nagumo?" Hiroto turned to Nagumo. Nagumo sighed.
"I just kind of think that dad is just using us, for something... I just feel like he's-"
"D-don't say that Nagumo! Father loves us! Don't say that!" Hiroto angrily said.
"Fine, whatever..." Nagumo rolled his eyes. "But he might just been using you just to replace his son "Hiroto"."
"That's not true...! Don't say that!" Hiroto whinned.
"Fine! I'll stop!" Nagumo sighed.
"Another Hiroto?" Suzuno tilted her head.
"Yes." Hiroto nodded. "He looks like me, but I'm not related to him, it's just we differ in skin and hair color." Hiroto sighed.
"What happened to him?" Suzuno asked.
"Hitomiko-san said he died abroad, he was playing soccer there." Nagumo replied.
"W-what happened to him?" Suzuno feltt sad too, since her dad died abroad too.
"He got a car accident, from the son of an goverment officer, father was so sad..." Hiroto sighed.
"Oh... So you were named after him, weren't you?" Suzuno smiled at Hiroto.
"Y-yeah." Hiroto smiled back. Suddenly, Suzuno yawned heavily.
"I'm so sleepy now... Let's just continue tomorrow..." Suzuno rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, okay." Hiroto smiled and layed down his sleeping bag and tucked himself. Suzuno did the same thing and turned around, hugging Yuu-chan.
"Fine." Nagumo didn't want to sleep, since Suzuno and Hiroto were going to sleep, he would sleep too. Nagumo tucked himself to bed too.
"Good-night Hiroto, Good-night Nagumo." Suzuno happily said yawning.
"Good-night Suzuno, Good-night Nagumo." Hiroto did too.
"Night." Nagumo replied. Suzuno and Hiroto sighed and slept.
