Camp LoveME

Chapter 1

It was a warm, summer's day and Kyoko was in her room, taking clothes out of her closet and placing them neatly into a travel bag. She had her hair in two small pigtail and was wearing denim short shorts with a light blue T-shirt. She was due at LME in 2 hours, the president Lory having told her to pack her bag, ready for a week away from home. She had already told the couple at the daryuma that she would not be there for the next week, since she was going away with the agency. Why they were going Kyoko had no idea, and had she known, she would have never agreed to go in the first place, for the person behind things like this is always one person: president Lory.

Ren was sorting thought his closet in hisapartment, packing for the same trip as Kyoko was but had no idea about this fact until much later. He, unlike Kyoko, did know that this 'trip' could be trouble as there was only person who would plan something like this: the glorious president of LME, Lory. The question now was: just how carried away had Lory gone with this 'trip'?

Ren quickly, but neatly, finished packing his travel bag. He locked up and heard out the door as he was due at LME in 30 minutes for the 'trip'. As he walked out the door he could only hope that the place they were staying at as not too bad. But since it was Lory he was thinking about, that would be a grand understatement on his behalf.

Kanae was just finishing up her packing for same trip that the president had told her she must take part in. She was glad to be able to leave her siblings for a week, a whole week without little children running around, screaming and fighting, it was too good to be true! As she headed out the door, she did one last check to see if she had everything, and upon seeing that everything was in order, Kanae escaped unnoticed by the little brats.

LME – 12pm

Kyoko walked into LME only to find about 20 other people already their waiting in the lobby with their travel bags. As she looked around, she saw faces she knew well. There was Itsumi Momose, Ruriko, Chiori Amamiya, Ruriko, Kijma Hidehito, Hikaru, Yuusei, Shinichii, Oohara Ariri (dark Moon –Misao), Kanae. Kyoko thought for a moment of Moko-San, and then yelled "Moko-San!" as she run to the girl and gave her a big hug. "Arr Mo, stop it..." as the other girl pushed her away. "Moko-san." Kyoko said in a calmer voice. "I didn't know you were coming too!"

While Kyoko was outside, busy greeting Kanae, she didn't realise that Tsuruga Ren had walked into the room and was currently standing right next to her. "Good Afternoon Mogami-san." he said gently. Kyoko jumped suddenly realising just now who was next to her. "G-good Afternoon Tsuruga-san." She replied sweetly. Kyoko was too cute for her own good!

President Lory Takarada suddenly appeared with a smile on his face and stared his speech. "Now that everyone is here, I would like to thank you all for coming on this trip. I know that everyone is going to enjoy this special event, but, just to make it that bit more special, I would like to introduce the official camp name: Camp Love Me!"

As soon as this was said, there were three cries from three very upset Love Me girls. A mixture of 'nooooooo', 'this is not fair' and sour faces.

"As I was saying," Lory continued, giving a glare at each of the Love Me girls, which shut them up. "The Camp is called 'Camp Love Me' and to go with the theme I have a Camp T-shirt for all of you which you will all receive. You are to wear this on the first day and for selected times during this camp. Anyone not wearing their T-shirt during these times will be punished! Now, I think it's time to give you your Love Me T-shirt. Once you receive it, you may head to the bathrooms to get changed. We will meet back here in 20 minutes."

Lory began handing out the T-Shirts to everyone. The girls got hot Pink T-shirts with the Love Me logo on it; the boys received white T-shirts with the Love Me logo on it.

20 minutes later, everyone was wearing their Love Me T-Shirts, some not as happy as others and heading towards a bus that Lory had arranged for the occasion.


Kyoko was still in the bathroom as everyone else began piling into the bus. Kanae had left her Love Me partner alone and hurried to get a good seat. She wasn't too fond of this camp now, since she had to wear the same stupid 'Love' Me' logo, but it still beat staying at home and looking after her younger siblings. Kyoko looked at herself in the mirror and gave an inward sigh. She was used to the bright pink of the Love Me uniform, but she was hoping that her first camp would somehow shy away from the Love Me section.

With a new found determination, Kyoko left the bathroom to see the bus packed and about to leave. Running, she waved her arms in the air and yelled "Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" which got the drivers attention. They opened the bus door and looked around.

Kyoko wasn't in sight.

The man looked to the driver who shrugged and turned around before they heard a whimpering sound from the front of the bus. Getting out and walking to the front, they see an upset Kyoko clinging to the bumper bar of the bus, tears streaming down her face.

Kyoko had to be plastered off the bus by the driver. She refused to let go, afraid that they would leave her behind, as she walked onto the bus. She looked around to see Kanae and was about to bound towards her Love Me friend when she saw there wasn't a spare seat. In fact, the bus was full. And the only spare seat happened to be right next to Ren. Kyoko looked to her side, to where Lory was sitting, as he winked and gave her a thumbs up. Ren was right at the back with a few other well known actors from LME, and as she walked up the isle to take her place, she felt a little awkward sitting among all these talented people.

Ren saw Kyoko walking towards her and stiffened. Wearing the silly 'Camp Love Me' shirt was one thing, having Kyoko sitting next to him, seeing him in this awful shirt on a bus trip that would take three hours up to the mountains, a remote area from what he was told, was a different matter all together. He could imagine Lory sitting at the front of the bus, ginning his usual grin, keeping everything hidden and never letting anything out. But this would also be a perfect time for Ren to get closer to the young teen, an invaluable experience on its own.

Kyoko reached the seat and looked at Ren in his white 'Camp Love Me' shirt. She smiled sweetly at him. "I'm sorry to bother you Tsuruga-san, but there are no seats left, and this happens to be the only one. Is it alright if I sit here?" Ren smiled at her, not his gentlemanly smile, but a true, warm, heartfelt smile. "Of course it would be fine Mogami-san." He replied. She sighed and sat down next to him.

They sat in silence for a long time; Kyoko sitting rigid as Ren looked outside, watching the buildings roll past. Kyoko had an itching sensation to pull out her Ren doll and model it based on what she was seeing right now. But that idea faced two problems: One – she didn't want Ren to see her dolls, and two – she had left them at home. Invisible tears were streaking down her face as she realized the enormity of the moment that was passing by her. This was a once in a life time chance to get a life-like image of Ren, his peaceful pose, as he looked out the window. She could try to recreate the way the light gleamed on his skin, the way his hair shined and how his eyes looked so distant from the here and now. She looked away and bit on her lip. The sudden urge to touch his was too much to bare!

But this was all for research, of course. She just wanted to make her dolls more life-like.

"Miss Mogami-san? Are you alright?" Kyoko heard Ren ask. She looked up to see him leaning towards her slightly.

"Eh?" Was her reply. She looked at him startled as he smiled lightly at her.

"Are you alright, Mogami-san?" He asked again. She looked at him for a while, still in her daze, before blinking a few times and nodding her head. "Yeah, I'm fine now." She replied, returning his smile with one of her own. Ren felt like his heart had just melted from her warm, dazzling smile. It took all his effort to not do something inappropriate. Of all places, this would be one of the worst. "That's good." He replied as he leaned back in his seat. Both felt unconfutable in the situation they were in, but both were for very different reasons.

Ren knew Lory was trying to make something happen by having Kyoko next to him. He dreaded his own self-restraint would soon collapse under such pressure.

Kyoko felt a terrible pang in her chest at missing a rare chance to get a better life-like image for her dolls. Sometimes, she felt like the world was spinning against her.


As they came to a stop in front of the camp site, they looked out the window to see a beautiful grand building that was in the shape of an L and had three stories.

They filed off the bus and followed Lory inside. In the foyer Lory said "Welcome to camp Love Me, the camp full of Love." Several groans were heard. "This is the main building." Lory said as he beamed up at the building behind him. "It's where I will be staying during the trip so if you need me, you know where I am. In the west wing, on the ground floor, is the dining hall. To your left is the lunge room and games room, to your right is the office." Lory continued. They walked down the hallway and out the back door.

They walked down the hallway, left the building though the back door which was, conveniently, out the back door and entered a large, outdoor pool area. There were lounge seats along the side of the pool, large beach umbrellas with tables between a few chairs. What stunned most of them was the enormity of the pool. It's grand, tiled floor gleamed though the water's surface in a pattern that made it look like an undersea kingdom. Kyoko was glued to the floor of the pool and, if it wasn't for Kanae pulling her back to reality, she would have jumped into the underwater kingdom.

They walked around the pool and came to two paths leading away from the grand building. "The left path will lead to the boys cabins and the right to the girls. In between the camp sites there is an obstacle course, which you're not to use without supervision. I will meet you all in the dining room at 6.30pm, until then you all have free time." Lory finished before walking back to the grand building and up to his quarters on the second floor.

The girls then heard for then cabins down the path, with the boys following their path soon after. In both camp sites there was three cabins positioned in a U shape. Each cabin had a bedroom at each end along with three single beds, a bed side table and a mini fridge. The rooms were nice and clean, but nowhere near as grand as the main building. At the side, towards the back of each room, was a door that lead to a room in the middle of the cabin, between the two bedrooms. At the back of that room was a closet for each person, lined against the wall all in rows. From the middle of the wardrobe room was a door that lead to the bathroom which had light blue tiles, white benches and sinks, a mirror, shower and toilet cubbies.

The girls were in Room 1 had Kyoko, Kanae and Itsumi Momose. This room conjoined with room 2, Chiori Amamiya, Makino, Yumika-san. Room 3 had Ruriko, oohara Airi, Mimori; which conjoined with room 4, Yoshiko-san, Yumiko-san. The boys were in room 7 which had Tsuruga Ren, Yashiro, Kijma Hidehito. This room linked to room 8, Hikaru, Shinichii, Yuusei. Room 9 was lined to those in room 10.

Kyoko set her hand bag on a bed by the window, claiming the bed, and headed to the wardrobe to start unpacking. Upon entering the room, she found Kanae already unpacking, muttering to her self about something they boys said. "…dare…laugh…me…pink love me top! Let's see who laughing now!" Kyoko continued unpacking, not paying any attention to what Kanae was really saying. It wasn't long until the rest of the girls walked into the cabin and started their unpacking and claiming beds.

Over at the boy's camp site they were already claiming beds and setting in. Ren could only hope that Lory didn't have any ideas to give him a hard time, or try to temp him with something he couldn't have. But Lory had other ideas, ones that very much included Ren and Kyoko. The other boys were talking about all the fun they would have when one mentioned "Kyoko looked hot today with those short shorts and that love me T-shirt." Another one replied "She is hot and very cute too, but her friend Kanae, that's my idea of a pretty girl." Another pair were mucking around, throwing someone's undies around with another boy chasing them around the two rooms. Ren thought 'the way are behaving, I wouldn't be surprised if the president gave us aconsoler to watch over as like children and hey! What's with the remark about Kyoko!'

An hour after, everyone had gotten into their cabins, with some who were almost finished unpacking, some sleeping or resting, as others were quietly chatting, no one wanted to destroy the calm peace present which they all had a feeling would not last long and some, namely three boys, were excused from playing up earlier.

Soon, it was time for dinner. Everyone headed down to the dining hall in the grand building located in the west wing on the ground floor. The dinning hall was very grand with marble floors, high ceilings with white patterns. There was a beautifully made table against the far wall as Ren thought 'at least we are not going to starve because theirs no good food available. Not that I'm that keen on eating, but if Kyoko is going to make me eat, it might as well taste good.' Seeing Kyoko and some of her friends sitting at a fancy wooden table, he quickly picked some paster and went to sit at their table with Yahiro in his wake. "Mogami-san, do you mind if we sit here?" Ren said, shining a lovely smile that made half of the girls melt. "Of course not!" she relied with a smile on her lips. 'He really does look silly in that top on.' She thought.

When they were finishing of their deserts, Lory called them to attention. "As you all know, this is a camp that's full of Love and fun, but for things to run smoothly there are a few rules. Those that choose to disobey will suffer the consequences."

Camp Rules

1. No running in the corroders

2. Lights out at 11.30pm

3. No boys in girls cabins or girls in boys cabins

4. Everyone must wear swimmers in the pool. If you don't have any, there are spears in the costume room upstairs.

5. You must wear your Love Me T-shirts when I tell you to.

"Good night. Breakfast is at 7am," Lory said, which resulted in a couple of groans. Those at the table headed out, and at the path that was lighted with lamps, they said good night and when their separate ways for the night.

30 minutes later the girls were all in their PJ's and setting into the night when someone came up to Kyoko's bed. "Kyoko-Chan, wakely, wakely." They said and hit her with a pillow, a grin on her face.
