Author's note: Welcome to part two! This is more insanity, so still... we warned you.

Again, the line breaks mean that we switched authors. It picks up from whoever went last in the previous chapter.

Enjoy!

The campground was yet another owned-by-the-Ichijo's piece of land that was lush with life and greenery. There were shrubs surrounding the small clearing, making a nice barrier of keeping animals out. In the middle were a few benches and picnic tables, the wood rotting with age and rain. The grass was rather tall, but nothing that was unbearably itchy. Trees that were a few hundred feet tall surrounded it as well, a small circle still clear in the sky to show off the moon.

"Wow, it's so pretty," Jensen stated rather suddenly. Zero eyed her curiously, wondering "since when did she think things were pretty"? Jensen returned his gaze with a "you know I'm not completely emotionless, right," stare. Both teens then looked to Kaname, wondering if the statue would ever show any emotion towards… anything, really.

"Wow this place has gotten so much more beautiful since the last time we were here." Cassandra said, looking around at the all the different species of plants that resided in the campground.

"Yes it has." Kaname agreed, slightly smiling at Cassandra's admiration of the flora and fauna.

"Did the statue just show some emotion for once?" Zero said with shock written clearly across his normally-composed features. Jensen's eyebrows arched as she eyed the man in front of her with almost disbelief.

Kaname turned around, facing the shocked couple with an icy cold stare that made Aido's powers seem like powdered sugar.

"Why don't we set up camp now." Takuma interjected happily as he tried to break the tension between the three vampires.

"No Takuma, let them have at it!" Naomi joked.

Cassandra sighed as she cast her gaze over to the carefree noble.

"Naomi…" She scolded.

"What? I was only joking," Naomi tried to defend herself. Cassandra's glare hardened in the slightest, making the noble back down a bit. "Right then, never mind," she said as she stepped back to Takuma's side.

The headmaster suddenly flitted to the middle of the clearing, throwing his arms open wide. "Now, now, students! Let us try to behave our best on the vacation! We wouldn't want –"

Zero walked up behind the man and jammed the butt of Bloody Rose to the base of his neck. The headmaster fell to the ground in a useless heap.

"Was anybody else getting annoyed at listening to him talk?" He asked blandly to the slightly shocked crowd.

"Zero! Why'd you do that?" Yuki rushed to the headmaster's side, paying no mind as the teen simply walked away with a shrug of his shoulders. As he returned to Jensen's side, she gave him a high five.

"Nice," She smiled. He laughed but said nothing more. He knew Yuki would hit him next if he did anything more that she didn't approve of.

"Come on, let's just get everything set up." Cassandra suggested, tugging on the sleeve of Kaname's shirt "You guys can fight some other time."

"She's right." Naomi agreed as she began to help Takuma set up one of the tents.

A crash sounded from around the corner of a tree and all heads snapped in that direction. They listened carefully for any more signs of life, but before they could gather their panicking thoughts, a small blonde girl came stumbling through the trees.

"Darn tree branches," a light voice scolded gently. Blonde curls bounced around her shoulders and her slight frame shook with her heavy breathing. She turned around, light blue eyes scanning the crowd. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to intrude!" She gasped, bowing politely before the group.

"Asuka, what are you doing here?" Takuma stepped forward, eyeing the small girl curiously. The girl shot up from her bow, a grin spreading from ear to ear.

"Takuma!" She ran forward throwing herself onto the teen as they both fell to the ground in one giant tangled glomp. Her small giggled sounded out into the forest, lightening the tense mood that had descended upon her random arrival.

"What are you doing here, Asuka?" Takuma asked as he pulled both of them to their feet. She was still smiling, nearly bouncing out of her skin.

"Takuma, who's this?" Naomi stepped forward, glaring to the girl. Asuka shrank back into her skin, looking up through curled bangs and thick eyelashes.

"She's my closest cousin," Takuma replied, laughing at the girl's jealousy.

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you," Naomi smiled, sticking her hand out to the shy girl.

"Yeah, you too. Anyway, Taka-kun, Grandpa said he had some business to do, so he told me to go find something to do. I was just going to go get some flowers for mom, but then I heard voices… so…" She trailed off, a light pink blush hinting her cheeks as she stared back at the ground.

Suddenly Aido was at her side.

"Hello gorgeous," He said seductively.

"Hi handsome." She beamed up at him, giggling as the blush deepened.

Aido wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Wanna stay the night with us?' He asked.

"No, I don't think that's a good idea her parents are probably-" Takuma began.

"I'd love to!" She squealed cheerfully. She wrapped her arms around Aido's waist, leaning into the man's flirtatious embrace.

Takuma moved closer to his cousin, taking her by the arm and moving her off to the sidelines. He eyed her seriously, making sure he was going to get his point across.

"Asuka, I really don't think that you should be flirting with someone you just met two minutes ago," Takuma whispered warningly. Asuka simply beamed up at him, blonde curls bouncing as she wrapped him into another tight hug.

"Oh, relax, Takuma. I've flirted with worse before," She smiled, skipping back to Aido's side.

"Wait, you what?" He called after her as she skipped away. She just threw a wink over her shoulder as she joined Aido and the others.

Seven tents were arranged in a circle around the campfire. Zero and Akatsuki gathered wood for the fire and Aido arranged the logs.

"Who has the lighter?" He asked.

"The headmaster was supposed to bring it." Yuki replied.

"I was? I thought Zero was supposed to bring it." The headmaster replied.

Everyone gaze shifted towards the headmaster.

"You mean you don't have it?" Zero asked with irritation.

"Well, no..." The headmaster said sheepishly.

"Great," Naomi grumbled, "now how are we gonna light the fire?"

Aido turned around to face his cousin.

"Hey Akatsuki why don't you light it.' He suggested.

"No way am I doing that for you Hanabusa." He replied in a smartass tone.

"You wouldn't want me to freeze would you Akatsuki?" Ruka said in a tone that suggested she had his every move under her control.

Akatsuki sighed in defeat.

"Fine."

All laughed as the orange haired teen cast a glare towards the logs and it erupted in a bout of flames instantly. They all moved closer to the fire, joining back up as their couples. Akatsuki had his arm around Ruka as she relaxed against his shoulder, and Naomi was doing the same with Takuma. Jensen was sprawled out across Zero's lap, letting him play with strands of her hair. Cassandra and Kaname had their hands intertwined as Cassandra's legs were draped over his and they were facing each other. Senri and Rima were still sharing pocky, though now they had moved closer and Senri had his arm around her waist. Aido was flirting obnoxiously with Asuka, but the slight blonde girl was returning his flirtatiousness with just as much vigor. The headmaster and Yuki were talking as the headmaster desperately was trying to get her to call him father once again.

"Hey, guys, I have an idea," Naomi suddenly piped up as her conversation with Takuma suddenly came to an end. All couples eyed her, waiting to hear her wonderful idea. "Why don't we tell a horror story?" She suggested with an evil glint in her eyes.

"Oh! I have the perfect one," Cassandra called as she pulled slightly out of her position with Kaname. All looked to her with expectance in their eyes.
