Chapter One: In the Hotel

"Ah! This is the life!" Said Yuki, laying back in his seat by the water.

"Yeah. I know we have a pool at home but this private one is something else." Agreed Takenaga from under the umbrella.

"And these cocktails are to die for!" Exclaimed Ranmaru, winking at the waitress who had brought him his latest fruity pink concoction.

"It'd be a hell of a lot better if we knew what Oba-san was planning!" Cried Kyouhei from the water. "And just who are you all sparkling for any way?" He yelled at the three beautiful boys, who were shining with a radiance to rival the tropical sun as they sat in their swimming trunks, causing several young waitresses to faint into the water with a splash.

You see, earlier that day the four boys and their housemate Sunako had awoken on a private plane to Bermuda, Oba-san smiling at them from a large tv screen.

"Hello boys! I've booked you all a trip to the tropics! What better place for you to awaken femininity in my dear Sunako? Running along the beach at sunset, wandering the rockpools with a certain someone, agonising about which swimsuit to wear, oh! These are the summer experiences of youth!

And if you guys have a problem with that, you can tell it to me from your GRAVES."

All four boys shivered in unison.

"Oba-san is scaryyyy!" Wailed Yuki, causing several pool attendants to crowd around him offering handkerchiefs and bowls of fruit, tears of sympathy in their eyes.

"Not as scary as that, though." Said Takanaga, pointing to a small blot of dark energy wedged in between a-now abandoned-ice cream stand and the wall.

"If someone doesn't get her out of there there's going to be an accident." Said Ranmeru, flicking his hair out of his eyes. "And even if there isn't, Oba-san will have our hides!"

"Mmh-mmh!" The boys all nodded.

"You do it, Yuki. Sunako-chan's the least likely to kill you." Said Takanaga.

"Noo! She doesn't care who she kills right now! So long as someone pays for the trick Oba-san played on her!"

"You're right. Better be you then, Kyouhei. At least you might survive long enough to get her out of the sun. I'm really worried for her."

"Shut up Ranmaru! Why do I always get stuck dealing with her when she's like this!?"

"Because you love her, that's why!" Ranmaru laughed as he dodged the blonde man's swing.

"Better hurry," Takanga interjected. "People are beginning to notice, and Oba-san's got spies everywhere."

The four looked about them, sweating.

"Fine!" Kyouhei sighed and levered himself out of the pool. The sunlight caught on his glistening body as his shook shining droplets out of his hair, and swirls of blood began floating through the water behind him as every other person in attendance had a nosebleed.

Marching over to where the dark girl was crouched wrapped in a bed sheet Kyouhei grabbed Sunako by the collar and lifted her up out of her hole. She was drenched with sweat due to her inability to cope with heat, but still managed to muster up enough energy to swipe at him with her nails and scream like a banshee.

"Shut up and come with me, will you!" exclaimed Kyouhei. "I'm trying to get you away from here, isn't that what you wanted?"

"PUT ME DOWN YOU HALF-NAKED CREATURE OF LIGHT!"

"Then stop being so scary."

"THEN PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"

With a sigh Kyouhei walked back to their room, still carrying the thrashing girl by the scruff of her neck. Throwing her on the bed, Kyouhei locked the door so she couldn't try to escape to the airport again (like she had that morning).

"Now, if you're not going to swim, at least take a cool shower, you look like you're about to die.

"I AM ABOUT TO DIE!"

"Well it's your own fault for wearing a damn blanket in this heat!"

"I wouldn't have to if one of you had packed me a single piece of decent clothing!"

"I told you, Oba-san did that! Just shut up and make the best of it! I'm too hungry to deal with you right now!"

With another gusty sigh Kyouhei flopped back onto the bed next to Sunako and threw his arm across his eyes. He felt the bed move as Sunako got up to shower and change, but the room was warm, the satin sheets cool, as before he knew it he'd drifted to sleep.

CRASH!

"W-w-what what that!" Cried Kyouhei, leaping up.

"How should I know?" Yelled Sunako from the bathroom. "It sounded like a wall collapsing!"

Running to the door Kyouhei struggled to push it open. "I can't budge this door! I think something's fallen against it! Come and help me push!"

"...

No."

"What? Whaddya mean, 'no'?! Why not?"

"Because I don't want to!"

"What are you naked in there?"

"I might as well be!"

"You're ridiculous! Come and help me! What if we get trapped?"

"Thats fine with me!"

"What, being trapped in this room with a half-naked creature of light is fine?" Cried Kyouhei, throwing her earlier words back at her.

"Yes! I'll just stay in this bathroom! I like it in here!"

"What the hell! I'll break the bathroom door down so you'll never have any peace, you little rat!"

"I'll kill you!"

"You'd have to come out here to do that!"

"FINE." The door slammed open and Sunako stood in the opening, her eyes glowing red and her aura dark with evil intent. She had knotted three towels together to form a makeshift robe that covered her from head to ankle.

Kyouhei started in terror but immediately shook himself and beckoned her over. "Push here" he said, indicating the lower half of the door. Sunako crouched down and put her shoulder to it, and he leaned over her, both palms flat against the door.

"Three, two, one, PUUUUUUUUSHHHHHHHH!" They yelled, thrust with all their might.

It didn't budge.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Cried Sunako. "I'll be stuck in here with the radiant creature forever! And yet..."

"Don't tell me you've really started back up with that whole 'radiant' thing agai-AHH!"

Sunako was now hunched into ball, a demonic smile on her face. "Kill him in here, blood on the hotel walls, starve to death maybe. Just have to outlast him and I'll have his corpse ahahaha oh, beautiful corpse mwahahaha…"

Kyouhei shuddered. "Well, I guess we just have to wait to be rescued."

Walking to the large tv set up in the suite the five of them shared Kyouhei picked up a video game controller and smirked. "Wanna get beat by me again?"
