Chapter 2

Date with Hyotei

"Young Master, we're here" a voice from the front of the car said

"Ah, I see" Atobe said

The whole Hyotei regulars including Sakuno where sitting on Atobe's limo for about half an hour now, trying to ask him for the hundredth time as of where he's taking them but Atobe would just reply the same thing, " Ore-sama thinks its better if you see it for yourself, ne Kabaji? "and afterwards the huge man would reply, "Ossu"

"So Atobe, are you going to tell us where the hell are we NOW?" Oshitari said impatiently

"Ore-sama…" Atobe was about to say the same reply when all of the regulars exempting Kabaji again finished the sentence for him, "We'll see it for ourselves" they all said trying to hide the entire grimace in their face. Sakuno controlled herself from giving a laugh and deliver it as a small cough.

The limo's car was opened and one by one the regulars went outside, followed by Kabaji then Sakuno then Atobe, All of them were thunderstruck at the sight that welcomed them, it was, it was…

"I can't get the point you're making out of your faces, but did Ore-sama's mini playground shocked you?" Atobe asked all of them

" Anou… Atobe –san…" Sakuno started

"Yes my princess?" Atobe said kneeling down on Sakuno

Sakuno was a bit used on Atobe's actions towards her now so she was a lot calmer to talk to him , "Is, this just a playground for you?" she said

" Why of course my princess, this is Ore-sama's personal playground for his guests"

"A personal playground?" Sakuno thought to herself

"This is more of an amusement park to me" Shishido interrupted as he can't stand Atobe's actions towards Sakuno any longer, hearing Atobe's voice calling Sakuno, "his princess" made him feel sick.

"You're right, Ryou-kun" Sakuno told him

Shishido looked down on her and patted her head as he always do and said pointing on one of the huge ride, " Wanna ride one of those Arrowhead Splashdown?"

" No, not now, Ryou-kun, I'm a bit scared of heights" she said a little embarrassed

"Wait a minute", Atobe called out, "My princess, is it just me or did I really heard you call Shishido by his first name?"

Sakuno nodded which gave Atobe a scandalized look, but before he can say anything, Jirou came bouncing up and down to Sakuno saying, " Saku-bear let's go ride one of those lumberjack falls and that Pirate ship and everything!"

"What did you just called my princess Jirou?, Sakuwhisit?" Atobe asked Jirou

"Saku-bear! Saku-bear Atobe!" Jirou said bouncily

"And may Ore-sama asked why you gave that name to my princess?"

"It's simple! Because Saku-bear is as huggable as my teddy bears at home! More huggable I should say!"

Another voice interrupted when Atobe was about to speak, "What did you say Jirou? You still have teddy bears? At this age?" Gakuto asked, so surprised that someone still carry teddy bears at the age of fourteen.

"Hai! I've got three huge and fluffy teddy bears at home, all in different colors, Brown, White and Pink!, I'm afraid I don't let anyone borrow it though but you're an exemption my Saku-bear" Jirou said proudly.

"Che, Jirou, I think you're the only one I knew who still had teddy bears at this age" Gakuto said

"Anou… Gakuto-kun, I think there is another guy you knew who still have teddy bears and really love teddy bears" Sakuno said while looking up at Gakuto.

Everyone stared at her.

"Anou… What I mean is, ah… Eiji-senpai has a teddy bear named Daigoro-kun"

By the mention of Eiji's name, Gakuto blurted out, "That moron still have a teddy bear considering he's my MAIN rival?!"

"Heh… Gakuto-kun don't belike that, Eiji-senpai is not a moron" Sakuno defended

"Hai, hai, Gomen, Gomen" Gakuto said swaying his hands freely in the air

They all laughed by the thought that Gakuto can be beaten easily by a little girl, even Atobe agreed, making Gakuto really irritated, "I'm not! " he said blowing his mouth making his cheeks bubbled up.

And before everything gets worse, Atobe finally ordered everyone to follow him so that they can start riding every rides on his considered mini-playground, While walking he explained everything about his grounds starting from the layout up until how the place is divided according to its attraction. The place surely is big, There's the Water Park containing rides like Zooma Falls, Hooks Lagoon, Konga River Tube Slides, Python Bonzai Giant Waterslide, Wave pool and many more Giant Waterslides, There's the Dodge'ms Bumper Cars, The Gambler, and a wooden roller coaster called the Timberhawk: Ride of Prey, Ghost train, Ghost Ship, Ghost house and everything full of ghosts and monsters, Sky Dive, Dangler, Wild Thing Rollercoaster and the most favorite of couples, The Ferris Wheel.

Jirou was so excited he wanted to try everything on the same time; he even wanted Sakuno to accompany him in every ride which of course he didn't get because the others also wanted a ride with Sakuno which gave Oshitari a very nice idea of having a draw so that it will be clear who will be Sakuno's partner in each ride. Everyone seemed to be interested and so they draw.

"Yay! I've got the Dodge'ms Bumper Cars! And it's the nearest too, meaning I'll be Saku-bear's first partner!!!" Jirou exclaimed

Sakuno just giggled at the sight of Jirou bouncing like a kangaroo, she then asked the others what ride they picked.

"Got the roller coaster ride" Shishido said, "What about you Choutarou?"

"The Ghost train" Ootori replied then turned around on Sakuno, "You aren't scared of freaking and jumping monsters, are you?"

"Not really Choutarou-kun, Shusuke-kun always took me to scary attractions whenever we have outings with the Seigaku regulars" Sakuno replied

The subject about the Seigaku regulars taking Sakuno with them on their outings seemed to interest at the same time irritate the Hyoutei regulars but because this should be a day to relax and have some fun they all controlled their selves and tried to act normally.

"I've got the Sky Dive, Sakuno" Gakuto suddenly said, "Scared of heights?"

"A… a bit…"

"How about you Atobe?" Oshitari asked their buchou

"Ore-sama got the most interesting ride" Atobe said, "You'll see later"

Not wishing to have another guessing game with Atobe, Oshitari asked all of them if they were all ready to dig in the fun, "Hai!" the others said

After that Jirou hurriedly and excitedly grabbed Sakuno towards the Bumper Cars place, he then asked Sakuno what car she like to used, Sakuno pointed at the pink one and Jirou pulled her quickly, she almost tripped but it seemed that Jirou have a full control on her, the others just followed the two of them for they were sure no one can stopped Jirou in his hyperactive mode, Sakuno was even sure that her senpai's Revised Special Golden Power Remix Inui-juice Neo would not affect Jirou.

Sakuno had lots of fun riding the bumper car with Jirou, He's a very good manipulator, even though the others kept targeting them, they didn't even bumped with a single car, Sakuno thought it's because of Jirou's quick reflexes. They turned left, right, curled, forward, even zoom, she felt a little dizzy after the ride though but because of the enjoyment she had, it did not bother her.

Next stop was the Sky Dive with Gakuto, Sakuno was a bit scared to try it but Gakuto ensured her safety and jokingly said " Don't worry, its just a 125-foot free fall"

She was encouraged by those words and so she fastened her safety belt, looked at Gakuto for the last time because she was not sure if she's still alive after this ride, sighed heavily not even noticing that they were slowly moving upward now and then heard the speaker said, " 10 seconds before the fall" , and there it go, "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sakuno screamed as they were falling down, Gakuto was really amused that she's a bit scared and just decided to shout with her. All of them felt like they're all Superman rushing down for a save-the-day promo!

As her feet touched the ground, Sakuno was so relieved but she really did not expect that Sky Dive was fun too, Atobe came up to her and asked if she was okay, she nodded happily and proceeded for the next ride, this time, the roller coaster with Shishido.

Sakuno can't wait to ride the roller coaster, it was her favorite among everything else, and she was so excited that she pulled Shishido by the arm. Shishido was amused by her behavior and so he hurried up. As they approached their seats , the operator told them to wear some jackets that he is handling to them, they were all confused except for Atobe, they all wanted to asked the operator the reason why they have to wear jackets, unfortunately, the roller coaster started moving and they all hurried up to put their jackets on, it did not took time for them to realize the purpose of the jackets, for when the roller coaster started moving it heads forward on some sort of a tunnel which contains a man-made mount Everest, and for it to be more realistic the Atobe family set up some snow maker so the people riding in the supposed-to-be-a-normal-roller-coaster feel like they were traveling, they exited the tunnel full of snows on their heads and shoulders, they don't have the time to asked Atobe how did they made such a wonderful thing for they were now entering another tunnel and were all very excited what to see next, and soon enough after passing through about 49 tunnels, they all felt as if they travelled the whole world, Atobe's roller coaster was a bit slower than the usual rate of a normal roller coaster, Oshitari, who was sitting behind Shishido and Sakuno, hypothesized that it was for the riders to enjoy the view while riding the coaster. Gakuto who was sitting next to Oshitari told them that he'd probably called this as "a travel coaster" than a roller coaster, Jirou, Wakashi, Shishido and Sakuno all agreed. Atobe, who was sitting in front of Sakuno and Shishido, together with Kabaji, seemed not to hear anything, much to their relief, because for sure he'll try to defend his coaster up until he lost his strength to talk.

They all enjoyed the ride that they not even noticed it was almost lunch time, it was all thanks to Jirou's stomach which gave a horrible sound that they all agreed to eat first before continuing their tour in Atobe's park, with Atobe's magical snap, all of them were facing feast of food, there were roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, bacon and steak, fries, Yorkshire pudding, block of ice cream in every flavor you could think of, apple pies, treacle tarts, chocolate éclairs, doughnuts, trifle, strawberries, Jell-O, rice pudding and so many more!

They all helped themselves and started eating, Sakuno was sitting next to Atobe, she was so surprised when Atobe told her that there are remains of ice cream on her cheek and suddenly licked it, she was so embarrassed that she did not know what to say, luckily no one seemed to noticed it for they were all chatting happily with each other, Sakuno faced Atobe and asked him not to do that anymore, Atobe just smiled at her and murmured, "All right"

When all of them had eaten as much as they could, they decided to rest for a while, Jirou asked them if they could spend it by buying souvenirs so that they will not cram later if they don't have much time left, they all agreed and so Atobe lead them the way, Sakuno thought of buying all her friends some stuff souvenirs so she asked Atobe where could she buy it, Atobe accompanied her to a cute store where lots of stuff toys are being sold, also Atobe told Sakuno to feel free of choosing whatever she liked and have it for free, Sakuno protested, seeing that she will not stop protesting, Atobe told her that she can repay it by cooking him some bentos ,Sakuno was still not convinced by the offer but Atobe insisted so she agreed.

When Sakuno finished choosing souvenirs, Atobe told some of his staff to carry it to the cashier and wrap it up, at the same time Jirou and Gakuto were running towards Sakuno to gave her some presents, they both told her to open it when she reached home and so she nodded, Shishido, Ootori, Wakashi, Oshitari and even Kabaji all said that they'll just give Sakuno their presents later so Sakuno would not carry lots of thing as they will have more rides to enjoy. She was so happy that the only thing she could say was "Thank You".

Atobe, who was standing beside Sakuno, bent a little and whispered to her that he'll also give his present later, not knowing what to say, she just nodded.

After that, they all decided to continue with their tour, it was now Ootori's turn to accompany Sakuno on the ghost train, before getting aboard on the train, Oshitari suggested to them that everyone should sit two compartment away from the other and that each compartment should only have one person inside it exempting Ootori and Sakuno, Gakuto gulped by the though of sitting alone in a dark train and going inside to a tunnel full of scary and monstrous things, but wanting to keep his pride, he nodded as well as the others.

As soon as all of them were seating in their respective compartments the train starts moving slowly preparing to enter the tunnel of doomed (as Gakuto would call it), Sakuno can't helped but to feel a bit scared, Ootori seemed to noticed this and so he placed a hand on Sakuno's shoulders, it made Sakuno feel warm and a bit braver, the train was moving slower and slower, Sakuno's eyes were wondering around the scary tunnel, it was full of horrible features like scary-looking witches, Masks, Mummies, Trolls, etc. She was so busy looking around when suddenly, "AAAAAAH!!!! A MONSTER!!!! ", a very scary figure hopped on their compartment and tried to pull Sakuno away from Ootori, Sakuno got so scared that she screamed and screamed, " CHOUTAROU-KUN IT'S HOLDING ME!!!IT'S HOLDING ME!!!", she's panicking like a maniac that Ootori was having a hard time pulling her away from the monstrous figure, at last Ootori had pulled her away from the scary thing and wrapped her in his warm and cozy embrace, she was crying because she was surprised at the same time scared, sure her Syuuske-kun took her to many scary places but none of them had a Voldemort-looking-one trying to kidnapped you to used your blood for his immortality (kidding!), Ootori was patting her head because she was still crying, she didn't even noticed the position she was in with Ootori, oh my I don't know how she will react when she noticed their position.

At last, the ride has come to its end and Ootori was now carrying Sakuno (kindergarten style), it seemed that she's not the only one who got scared, she saw Oshitari fanning a stunned Gakuto, Wakashi on the other hand was trying to wake Jirou up, Jirou didn't fell asleep, he collapsed. Atobe came up to them saying, "Oh my, Oh my, is Ore-sama's ghost train that scary?", he then moved on Ootori who was still carrying Sakuno, Atobe eyed Ootori anxiously but then turned to Sakuno, "Princess, did you got scared?" Sakuno nodded a little but also said that she's fine.

Atobe then turned and faced the others, Sakuno asked Ootori to put her down cause she's fine now, he smiled at him and put her down, Wakashi, to her surprised, approached her and asked, " Do you still wanted to enter the ghost house?", seeing that Sakuno was confused he added, " Don't worry, we can take other rides" then smiled at her.

Sakuno then nodded and asked him if they could just take the Waterslides, "Of course" Wakashi told her happily, He then informed Atobe about their decision and without hesitation he asked them to follow him to the Waterslides, Kabaji needed to carry Jirou because he was still unconscious, luckily for Oshitari, Gakuto was now backed on his usual self. Shishido and Oshitari can't help but to laughed at Gakuto, they teased him all the way up until they reached the waterslides.

It was a very good decision to take the Waterslides instead of the Ghost house, it made Sakuno feel a lot better, Wakashi was a nice companion, he shout at the same time that Sakuno will do. At last the ride had ended and Sakuno realized that it was now Atobe's turn to accompany her.

"Atobe-san, you still haven't tell us, what ride you got" she said

"My princess, the ride I got is standing behind us" Atobe said

They all turned around and "WHAT?! YOU'RE SO LUCKY ATOBE!!!" shouted all the boys (except for Kabaji), Oshitari said the same thing but in a low voice.

"Ferris Wheel" Sakuno said

Atobe smiled at her and said, "Shall we go then?"

"Hai" she said, but before she could walked the other guys stopped her and said, "Be careful , Sakuno-chan"

She was so confused why they said such thing but Atobe called on her and so she followed. Everyone took their seats; Gakuto was still whispering with Oshitari with a worried face, "Do you think Atobe will do it?", "Who knows" replied Oshitari

"I'll kill Atobe the next time I see him in the court" Shishido thought to himself

"Buchou's so lucky" Ootori and Wakashi said together softly

The Ferris wheel started moving in a slowly upward motion, it was nearing sunset by then and Sakuno was excited to witness such thing

"You seem excited, princess" Atobe told her

"The sunset will take place soon" she said smiling

"You also love the nature, princess?"

"Hai, it's the most beautiful priceless thing ever"

Atobe grin, silenced occurred to them for a while, Sakuno then stood up to have a better view of the sunset she's waiting, and there it goes, she can almost see the sun saying goodbye to nature, she was so happy, comfortable…

"Nani?"

Atobe grabbed Sakuno by the waist, but before she could say anything, Atobe's lips pressed against hers, he was completely devouring her lips. "Man, her lips taste so good" Atobe thought to himself, he tilted his head to deepen their kiss, he wrapped Sakuno protectively in his arms, he wanted her like this…

Sakuno still can't believe what had just happened; she was quiet by the time she and Atobe came out from the Ferris wheel, the others did not noticed that her face was blushing so much like a tomato, they were all happily chatting on how fun the day was.

Sakuno wanted to ask Atobe the reason he did that but she'll asked him later, when the others are gone. Soon enough she found herself sitting in Atobe's limo, one by one the other regulars bade goodbye, Shishido and Ootori was the first one to go, leaving Sakuno their presents for her, she smiled backed at them, not wanting them to know what had just happened, Oshitari and Wakashi then followed Shishido and Ootori, Kabaji and Gakuto decided that they will take Jirou home as he was now in dreamland.

And now, It was just her and Atobe, Sakuno can't find the right words to say, but Atobe, being Atobe, knew she was still feeling awkward so he decided to speak at last." Princess" he called on to Sakuno

Sakuno was surprised but replied. "H… Hai"

"Ore-sama didn't mean to harm you on what he did earlier; he just wanted to express his feelings…"

"Wh… What do you mean Atobe-san?"

Atobe smiled at her, Sakuno noticed that his smile seemed to be different, its like a very gentle smile, this made her feel safe with Atobe, so she speak again, " I still don't know your reason for doing that Atobe-san but … I … I think you're reason will be a worthy one"

Atobe was so surprised by this, "You're really interesting" he said in a low voice

"Not quite" Sakuno said beaming, it was a long ride before they reached Sakuno's house, and by that time she was peacefully sleeping on Atobe's lap.

She did not know that Atobe was the one who carried her to their house nor that he's also the one who put her in bed, that he gave her a gentle goodnight kiss, and that he whispered to her, "I love you and will always protect you"

The only thing that she knew was that Atobe along with the other Hyotei Regulars had become part of her special someones...
