A/N: Hiya guys, bet youre wondering what im doing ., or maybe youre just happy or something I dontk now. Eitherway imma say this flat out that this right here was not planned ahead of time. In other words I originally had never thought of this and hense had no intention of putting it up hense why it wasn't on the list on my Bio. Basically I was really happy with how Sukeban had turned out and you guys were great getting the reviews all the way to 54! So I thought it would be nice if I gave you guys this as a gift for taking the time out to voice your love (and pet peeves I'm greatful for those too) though the reviews. It's a mini,mini series only five chapters longs (I would consider a mini series 10 chapters) and it takes place around... March between chapters 18 and 19 not to thickly plotted or wordy i guess and if you can't already tell it's about 3D senior trip to Okinawa. So I hope you guys enjoy and you're all the absolute best. Thank you a million, million times as many times as i can possibly say thank you ^.^
Touchdown on Okinawa
Umeki didn't think this was a good idea.
She never generally thought any ideas thought up around her were not good ideas but this one topped the cake in bad ideas. Still...she put in the money for it so she might as well go.
"Nii-chan said he would take care of all the plants in the house while I'm gone" the teen spoke never once looking up from her wheeled bag as she folded clothes and packed them neatly and properly inside. "I'll be gone all week but I'll be home on Saturday so don't worry too much about me okay Papa?" she cast the picture of her father on the wall a quick smile before turning back to her suitcase and zipping it shut. She bid her father goodbye and quickly left her house with her suitcase in hand. Where was she going? Somewhere she shouldn't be going considering she was a lone female in a school of males but again she paid for it so she might as well go.
"sorry to make you wait" Ryu turned towards the front door as Umeki stepped out locking the door "you know us girls, packing more than we actually need" the pair chuckled
"Don't worry about it" Ryu remarked shoving his hands into his pockets "are you ready to go then?"
"Mm" the female nodded following Ryu through her front gate and down the street "but...where are the others?"
The four Kurogin students in question sat huddled together at the train station with a good half of the seniors of Kurogin. Their focus was on the bundle of chopsticks that Hayato was currently clenching tightly to his hand. One out of the odd two dozen sticks was marked red and all four were hoping to get their hands on that one marked stick. The whole class had been doing this for the past hour starting with 27 boys and 23 marked sticks eliminating those who picked a marked stick. Now it was just four boys and one stick, the one who picked it would be chosen. This was a matter of life and death...they had to get the red one.
"Alright" Hayato spoke up looking around at his friends "one at a time, we keep drawing until one of us gets the red one got it?" Tsucchi, Take and Hyuuga collectively nodded their heads to this and held their breaths as their leader took one of the sticks in-between his fingers and slowly pulled it out.
...blank
"Damn" He cursed while his friends silently cheered.
"Okay, okay my turn" Hyuuga eagerly, some might say too eagerly, said reaching out but Tsucchi stopped him before he could.
"Hold on hold on we're going clockwise!" the tallest glared getting a glare back
"Says who?" Hyuuga complained crossing his arms as he did "why are you doing this anyway? You're dating Rica-Chan! Give them here-"
"Oil!" and so the calm, turn based settlement became a chaotic grabbing match. One would draw and curse at the blank and another would draw but there would be yet another blank this went on and the bundle of sticks never showed any signs of dwindling.
"This is ridiculous!" Take panted a little while later
"h-how many did you get?" Hayato added turning his attention to Hyuuga who shook his head indicating that he didn't know himself. They would never find the marked stick!
"...what are you guys doing?" the arguing boys looked away from their battle at the sounds of this new voice. Umeki stood beside Ryu staring down at the huddling boys both with eyebrows raised.
"Uki-Chan!" Tsucchi yelped when Hyuuga gave the boy a hard shove off him. The boy's eyes were bright with hope "you decided to come? Really?" Umeki in response scuffed crossing her arms and looking away.
"Well...I paid for it so..." whatever else the girl had said was drowned out by the cheering of her friends before her. Umeki rolled her eyes "what are you fools doing?" she repeated herself and ending their cheering.
"Well we're going to Okinawa for the week" Take answered, Umeki nodded. She knew this; why else would she be at the train station with a suitcase if she didn't? "The class can be divided evenly but..."
"...but?" Umeki repeated tipping her head
"Uki-Chan!" Hayato stood up staring hard at the girl "you have to choose between us!" what was he talking about? "Yankumi is rooming with the other female sensei and everyone else has a roommate but you! You have to choose between us f-"
"Ryu" Umeki didn't even let her boyfriend finish his sentence. She uncrossed her arms and grabbed the handle of her suitcase. It would be time to leave soon. The rest of the boys groaned loudly in disapproval at Umeki's answer but Ryu himself snorted out a laugh slinging his bag over his shoulder and moving to follow Umeki.
"Wait!" Hayato stopped them jumping in front of their path and holding his arms out. "y-you can't just decide like that!"
"...but you just told me I had to choose..." Umeki pointed out with squinted eyes "didn't you?"
"..." Hayato faltered "uh... Yea but-"
"Ryu" she repeated herself with a slight nod before looking to said boy "you don't mind do you?"
"No" he shook his head
"Wait!" Hayato stopped them again making Umeki rolled her eyes and glare at him.
"What now?" Hayato held out his clenched fist in his friends face.
"You have to pick one!" he stated answering Ryu's curious looks "if you get the marked one you can. We all drew a stick so you do too!" Umeki and Ryu looked at one another still generally curious before turning their attention back to Hayato. Behind him the rest of 3D looked on in expectation bundled up behind Take, Tsucchi and Hyuuga hoping that Ryu got a blank. "I doubt you'll get it though" Hayato added confidently, Ryu casually picked one of the sticks and pulled it up and to 3D's horror the end of the stick was marked red.
"Its red" the usually silent boy stated turning the stick in his hand.
"Are we done playing around?" Umeki questioned looking towards the rest of Kurogin gather around the incoming train "let's go boys" she directed at them before heading to the train herself, Ryu followed behind her and so did the rest of the class, though they dragged their feet as they did, but Hayato and the others stayed behind with downcast expressions.
"Why is he so damn lucky?" they collectively muttered in union watching Ryu take Umeki's bag into the train before she followed him. Honestly if Hayato didn't make it so obvious he was Umeki's boyfriend most would think that Ryu was instead.
"And here we are!" Hyuuga cheered fiddling with his camera as the high school students piled onto solid ground "a train and ferry later and we've now touched down on Okinawa, as you can see the view is amazing!" of course the boy wasn't focusing on the beautiful sea view that the others were casually looking at as they made their way off the ferry and towards the large coach buses. "Yes...very nice view indeed" Ryu nudged the boy whose camera was focused on a small group of girls not far from them "huh? Oh right right" Hyuuga smiled hurrying after his classmates.
"It's our class trip, Hayato, and despite popular belief I actually want to relax" Umeki's calm, but clearly agitated, voice became clearer as the amateur cameraman pushed through the rest of 3D towards her. "Can we not argue about this? I'm not changing my mind"
"Give me one good reason" Hayato challenged to which Umeki scuffed at.
"I can think of a list of reasons" she replied sharply.
"And here we have our lovely hostess of the week" Hyuuga smiled as said hostess came into view. "say hi to the viewers Uki-Chan" both Umeki and Hayato turned their heads in Hyuuga's direction, Umeki paled slightly immediately turning away from the camera and holding a hand up to further cover her face.
"What are you doing?" she growled "I still look like I just climbed out of bed! Go away!"
"Uki-Chan you always look like you just climbed out of bed" Hayato pointed out with a laugh earning himself a glare from Umeki before the girl remembered Hyuuga with his camera and turned away again.
"Hyuuga get that camera out of my face!"
"Come on Uki-Chan just say hi!"
"No!"
"How about a wave?"
"No!"
"This is going to be an interesting trip..." Ryu couldn't help but remark stepping beside Hayato who hummed his agreements.
He couldn't agree anymore. 3D was crazy enough back home but to be all the way on the island Okinawa away from parents and the local authority that knew them it was anyone's guess what would go down this week. Add on Yankumi, the secret but subtly obvious Yakuza heiress, and then put the ill tempered henchman's sister Umeki in the mix and this trip was as toxic as that concoction that Ryu, Take and Hayato himself had ended up creating at Uki-Chan's house not long ago.
"Alright everyone!" Yankumi's voice traveled over the class as she motioned to the nearest bus "let's get on the bus!" she stepped back allowing her delinquent boys, and girl, to pile into the bus and quickly head to their first stop for today.
"Oi..." Take nudged Hayato as the lined up to get on "why's monkeyface still here wouldn't he get on one of the other buses?" Take was right; standing beside the bus was the head teacher glaring sternly at each boy as he entered. Did this mean he would be on the bus too? Hayato groaned at this realization.
"This trip is going to suck"
