Chapter 2: Door Ways
(Next Morning, Arika's chambers)
It was still early the sun was barely rising and was still blocked by the shades only a small crack of light shown through. The door to the room slammed open knocking into the wall denting it a little. Queen Mashiro stormed into the room still in her pajamas walking straight to the bed grabbing the sheets and pulling them off the sleeping figure. "Ah what the heck?" Arika said opening her eyes staring at the Queen. "Mashiro-chan?"
"Get up." Mashiro said.
"Huh? Is something happening?" Arika asked a little worried. "Is everything alright?"
"No everything isn't alright I have no idea where Aoi is." Mashiro said waving her hands in the air.
"You woke me up because you can't find your maid?" Arika said now sounding annoyed. "What does that have to do with me?"
"You are going to find her that's what it has to do with you." Mashiro said as she pulled on Arika's leg.
"Did you check her room maybe she over slept?" Arika asked not budging.
"No, you go look." Mashiro said as Arika rolled over burying her face in her pillow. "Get up Arika!"
"Mashiro-chan it's not my job to find your maid, get Sakomizu to go look for her. Unless someone is trying to kill you or to threaten the kingdom leave me alone." Arika mumbled around the pillow.
"Mesiter Arika Yumemiya as your Master I order you to find Aoi now!" Mashiro said putting her hands on her hips. Arika rolled over looking at Mashiro a displeased look on her face. "Well come on get up!"
"Mashiro-chan you are kidding you are ordering me to find your maid?" Arika said as she sat up.
"Yes come on my breakfast isn't going to make itself." Mashiro said.
"Aright, alright I'm going." Arika said climbing out of bed and walking to her closet.
"Well come on go." Mashiro said pushing Arika away from the closet and towards the door.
"Can I get dressed first?" Arika said. Mashiro snorted then turned and left the room leaving Arika to get dressed. It didn't take long and she was soon walking down the hall to Aoi's room. She knocked on the door then walked in after no one answered. The blinds were open letting enough light in that she could see the whole room. The bed was made causing Arika to think that either Aoi had gotten up early and left or she hadn't slept here last night. She figured it was the latter when she noticed Aoi's uniform lying on the bed. Thinking about it she had seen Aoi walking past her room heading towards the guest rooms "Chie-sempai." She whispered remembering how the two acted at dinner.
(Yukino's chamber)
"Haruka-chan what time did you tell Captain Hallard to meet you here?" Yukino asked looking down at her watch that read 7:45am.
"0700, I'm going to kill her." Haruka said walking to the door but stopped when Yukino put her hand on her shoulder.
"Go easy on her, remember when you first became my Otome I had planed a speech to present you to Aries but you overslept we had to push it back four hours trying you to get you up." Yukino said smiling. "Or your birthday celebration last year you slept through half the party."
Haruka gave a small smile then walked out of the room seeing Arika in the hallway. "Arika," Haruka said surprised to see her in the hall outside of the room. "Please tell the Queen that President Chrysant sends her apologies on being late to their meeting."
"Nani?" Arika said looking at the older Otome.
"We were to be having a meeting with the Queen but I can't seem to find that baka of an apprentice of mine." Haruka groaned.
"Chie-sempai?" Arika asked she was really starting to grasp what was going on the way they flirted at dinner, then Aoi missing and now Chie.
"Hai," Haruka said. "We were supposed to meet with Queen Mashiro in twenty minutes. Because of Chie-baka we are lack."
"Ano? Lack you mean late?" Arika asked. "I think Mashiro-chan will be late as well. She sent me to find Aoi"
"So Aoi-san and Chie-baka are both missing," Haruka said ignoring the fact that Arika had corrected her.
"You don't think they are….no Chie-sempai probably overslept." Arika said causing Haruka to turn bright red a frown on her face and her brow creased.
Haruka walked past Arika and to Chie's room stopping in front of the door. She jiggled the knob finding it locked then took a step back before kicking the door open. Inside the room two figures sat up in bed both quickly wrapping the sheets around them. "Brigadier General!" Chie said in shock as Aoi slid behind her trying to stay out of sight.
"Captain, do you have any idea of what time it is or what you've caused? You've embarrassed the President! Honestly Captain it wouldn't take much for you to be a lieutenant again." Haruka said grabbing Chie by the ear pulling her from the bed and dragging her across the room. "I hope you kept your old rank tabs."
Chie grabbed the sheet from the bed as Haruka pulled her across the room trying the best to cover herself. From the bed Aoi screamed grabbing the other sheet covering herself up as the sheet Chie took left her naked on the bed. "Chie!" Aoi said after covering herself up again.
"Aoi, don't worry everything will be fine, the Brigadier General threats to demote me daily it wouldn't be a normal day if she didn't." Chie said stumbling behind Haruka while trying to keep the sheet around her. I truth Chie usually carried her lieutenant bars in her pocket as a running gag, every now and then when the General would threaten to demote her she would pull them out and ask if she should change it now or later. "G-general can I put some clothes on first?"
Haruka let go of Chie causing the Otome to fall to the ground. "You have 30 minutes to get dressed and be in front of the President's room. Captain, do not be late or you will be a lieutenant. Do you understand?"
"Hai, General." Chie said as she sat up watching the general leave the room the door barely hanging on the hinges. She stood up and walked over to Aoi sitting down on the bed. "Sorry you had to see that," Chie said leaning over and kissing Aoi.
"Aoi-san," Arika said timidly from the doorway.
"Arika-chan?" Chie said looking up from Aoi over to the door.
"Ano, Mashiro-chan is looking for you." Arika said.
"Oh, no!" Aoi said standing up from the bed being sure to keep the sheet around her.
"Uh, Aoi-san don't worry about it… uh take your time I'll cover for you this morning." Arika said then ran down the hallway.
"Chie, you should be getting ready." Aoi said sitting back down next to the young Captain.
She looked down at her watch then back up to Aoi with a smile on her face, "I've still got twenty-five minutes and it looks like you have the morning off. How about we have a quick bath?" Chie stood up from the bed grabbed Aoi picking her up carrying her to the bathroom.
(Yukino's Room)
"I take it you found her?" Yukino said as Haruka walked into the room.
"Hai, that baka was in bed sheeping with one of the maids!" Haruka said.
"Haruka-chan it's sleeping." Yukino said, "I didn't realize she was familiar with any of them. Could you go inform the Queen we are going to be late."
"I ran into Arika in the hall she is going to pass on the message for us. Chie-baka!" Haruka huffed putting her hands on her hips.
Yukino walked behind Haruka placing her hands on Haruka's shoulders gently rubbing them. "You are really tense shame we don't have more time to help you relax."
Haruka turned around in Yukino's arms stepping closer to her, "I think we might, the maid in Chie's room was Queen Mashiro's maid. I have a feeling the Queen might be late too." She said kissing Yukino's neck.
(Hallway Outside)
Chie ran down the hall tying her tie as she ran her jacket was unbuttoned and her hair messed up. Her bath with Aoi had taken more time then she had but it had been worth it. She stopped in front of the door quickly straightened her clothes then knocked on the door. Several seconds went by until she knocked again still no answer, "General? Madam President?" Chie said then pressed her ear to the door hearing something from the other side.
"Ah, Hara-chan yes!" She heard Yukino moan through the door.
"They aren't doing that are they?" Chie said her ear pressed to the door.
"Chie?" Aoi said walking up behind Chie tapping her shoulder. "What are you doing?"
"Aoi listen to this tell me what it sounds like." Chie said stepping back as Aoi pressed her ear to the door.
"Yes! Yes Hara-chan harder! Kami-sama I love you!" Yukino shouted thought it was muffled through the door.
"Are they?" Aoi said stepping away from the door her face turning red with embarrassment.
"Haha yeah I think so," Chie said laughing.
"Do you know they were…together?" Aoi asked a puzzled look on her face.
"No, I had no idea." Chie said then kissed Aoi, "We should have taken our time seeing as they are."
Aoi started to return the kiss but stopped as there was a loud shout and the sound of something being thrown. "Sounds like I better go before Mashiro-sama kills Arika-chan you know that girl can't cook."
"Hai, Shiho-chan was sick for a week after she ate Arika-chan's meal during the exams last year." Chie said giving Aoi a quick kiss then turning her around pushing her down the hall after giving her a playful smack on the butt.
The door to Yukino's room flew open Haruka stepping out barely dressed her Meister uniform on but only partly buttoned up and that part done wrong. Yukino was right behind her dressed slightly more then Haruka. "What the hell is going on?" Haruka said.
"Oh nothing Hara-chan. I have a feeling Mashiro-sama didn't like the breakfast Arika-chan made her." Chie said ducking as Haruka swung at her luckily for Chie the general missed.
"Chie-baka don't even start with me! You've done enough to piss me off today!" Haruka said grabbing Chie's collar but she let go as Yukino put her hand on her shoulder.
"Captain we'll be back in a few minutes and then we will go check on the Queen." Yukino said walking into the room, "Come on Haruka."
"Hai, Madam President. Go on Hara-chan see you in a few minutes." Chie said laughing as Haruka pointed angrily at Chie then entered the room.
