You Want Me To Put My What, On Where?
The air circulating around the beach was tense as the waves came crashing down in loud thunderous sweeps. It was almost like that awkward calm before a mighty storm as the girls of class 6-A came marching down the sandy landscape towards the shoreline where an eager Blonde and Orange haired duo were waiting. There was only one thing on the minds of these snarling girls...blood...
"Come on Ayaka-san, we're dying here already!" yelled Yuna with an added sigh of impatience. "Just hand over the lists and tell us what the main prize is!"
"Yeah, because everyone knows that Yuna-chan and I are gonna kick some serious a-..." Makie was interrupted by a hand placed over her mouth from her scavenger hunt partner Yuna. The rest of the class watched as the two got a cold look from the class rep before they all giggled off the situation.
Ever since Setsuna had come up with the idea for a scavenger hunt involving her entire class the day before, Ayaka had been hard at work scrounging everything together. The class had already partnered themselves off into groups of two, most of them instantly coming up with plans of strategy in order to beat the competition. Setsuna, though still shaken by her talk with Asuna the previous night, was focused and looking forward to the challenge. She was also excited to be teamed up with the only obvious choice for her partner, Konoka. After getting back to her room last night, the swordswoman quickly jumped on her room's computer and looked up the area of the island. She was sure to check out any possible dangers that may lie out in the dense jungle, since her barriers would take care of any supernatural ones. Just as she thought, there were some pretty odd looking and slightly poisonous array of insects, frogs and snakes. She tried her best to make a mental note of where most of the more lethal ones could be found so that they could easily be avoided. After finishing her quick dip into research mode, Setsuna began to pack up a small bag filled with supplies for both her and Konoka in order to ensure they could make it through the game without stopping. A few minutes later she passed out face down on the bed, trying to calm her thoughts from everything that had being getting to her over the past few days.
Now, Setsuna was standing in the sand looking off to the fringe of the jungle laid out a few good feet beside them. She was itching to start the game with Konoka, remembering how much fun she used to have watching the young heiress run around her family's estate looking for objects, often pulling the swordswoman behind her. She couldn't help but think about how much simpler it was to be with Konoka back then; sure she was just as in love with Konoka now as she was then, if not more, but growing up often complicates things. She was still smiling to herself when she felt a soft hand rest on her shoulder. Turning, she found the bright and shinning face of Konoka looking at her with a sense of questioning.
"What are you smiling about Set-chan?" she asked with a slight giggle, pretty much guessing what it was already.
"N-nothing really Kono-chan..." Setsuna replied as she further snapped out of it. "Just some old memories from when we used to have hunts." She finished with a smile as she tried to cover up the blush that was forming. Despite what she had told Asuna off with last night, Setsuna still couldn't help but feel her feelings trying to get the best of her. She picked her bag off of the ground and slung it on her back, throwing the feelings with it as she began to re-focus. "Are you ready Kono-chan? You have to remember though, we need to be careful. We aren't the only things out there..."
Konoka was about to say something in relation to Setsuna swooping in to save the day like she always does, when she felt a piece of paper being thrust into her hands. At last, Ayaka had her partner Asuna hand out the scavenger hunt lists to the rest of their classmates. Konoka quickly glanced at it before motioning for Setsuna to come take a look with her. The swordswoman leaned her face in towards the paper, her body tensed for a moment as she felt Konoka's bare shoulder press into hers and the faint feeling of the heiress's warm breathe near her. She was about to back away when she heard a small, sweet giggle slip from Konoka. Thinking that she was laughing at her blush, Setsuna glanced over and noticed that the chocolate haired girl was actually laughing at something she had read on the paper. Now interested to see what was so funny, Setsuna glanced back at the paper and began to read the list to herself.
6-A's Hunt For Ultimate Supremacy! Object List
A shell
Odd shaped rock
A bug (preferably in a jar...)
Some shed snake skin
A white sock
Panties from a girl who's not your partner (the racier, the better...)
Seaweed
Ocean water (but it can't be placed in a bottle)
A picture of a waterfall
An empty, but used shot glass
Some sort of fruit peel
An embarrassing picture (of anyone)
Seaglass
Something of Negi's... (from his room, or off of him...)
Setsuna laughed at the last object listed; automatically assuming that was what Konoka had giggled at. She looked over to the heiress and saw that she was still giggling to herself. Thinking that stealing something off of Negi wasn't really that funny, the swordswoman asked Konoka what it was she was actually laughing at.
"It's just too bad..." began Konoka with a sneaky look flashing in her eyes. As soon as she saw the object on the list, she thought about how she could use it to her advantage against Setsuna. "I mean, number six would have been a lot easier if we could use mine. I would have had the perfect pair of panties for that one!"
There was a flash of Konoka seductively laying out across Setsuna's bed wearing only what could technically be considered as panties in the swordswoman's mind. Her jaw was about to drop at the sudden thought, but it was interrupted by another sweet giggle from the heiress. Embarrassment quickly made its way through her as she fumbled to snatch the paper out of Konoka's hands. Luckily for her, Asuna yelled out for everyone to be quiet so that Ayaka could tell everyone what the prize would be.
"Alright, as you all know whenever the Yukihiro family endorses an event there is sure to be a fabulous prize..." began Ayaka with a smile. "So, instead of telling you what it is, I'm going to give you all a hint. It involves something very special for just you and your partner...something you'll never forget depending on how you use it..."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" shouted Haruna with flailing arms.
"Yeah, what kinda hint is that?" asked Kazumi.
"Oooo Set-chan! Now we need to win for sure!" whispered Konoka to her guardian. "Anything special just for the two of use sounds like it could be a very...VERY goodtime." Setsuna inwardly kicked herself as she watched Konoka smile at her.
The class began to line up at the starting line in their groups, everyone still mumbling to each other over what the prize could possibly be. The atmosphere began to tense up again as they all prepared to make a break for their first chosen object. Asuna grabbed Ayaka's hand and dragged her to their spot on the line, winking towards Setsuna as they approached.
"Are you ready Mana-de gozu?" asked Keade from her crouched start position.
There was a loud click of a new clip of bullets being loaded into the assassin's Desert Eagle; the girls around her all slightly flinched and shuffled away. "Locked and loaded..."
"Go!" shouted Ayaka.
As soon as the words left the class rep's mouth, the girls were off with a long trail of sand blowing up in their wake. Setsuna had quickly grabbed a hold of Konoka's hand just before the start signal, allowing them to gain the lead together. Konoka was surprised at the sudden gesture from the swordswoman, and was also greeted by a warm feeling spreading all the way from Setsuna's touch to her toes.
I really hope my plan is working... there's only so much longer I can stand not being together with Set-chan... Well, let's just see what I can do while we're out in the jungle...
/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*
Instead of following the majority of the class to find the easier objects first, Asuna and Ayaka had decided on getting the more difficult ones out of the way. It had actually been Ayaka's idea to start this way, figuring that maybe no one else would have thought about it and would give them a chance to be alone. The class rep wasn't completely sure, but she had an odd feeling that she wasn't the only one in their small group who felt something for the other. She had made it her top priority to get to the bottom of her situation with Asuna.
After half an hour of trekking through some dense brush, the two had managed to get a hold of the bug, a weird shaped rock that apparently resembled Negi's head, and a picture of a waterfall. Things seemed to be going well for them as Asuna would lead the way, gently clearing aside any dangers or vines. Every so often she would glance over her shoulder to smile and ask how Ayaka was doing. Much to her delight, there were a few times she would quickly look back without warning to see the class rep staring at her butt or blushing to herself.
Huh, would you look at that... looks to me like today may be the day I finally get Ayaka... and it's only the first full day here... alright, keep focused and keep the plan going...
The last object that they needed to find out in this part of the island was the snake skin. According to the information Ayaka had looked through yesterday, now was usually the time of season where most of the snakes on the island had grown enough to rid themselves of their old ones. The class rep was extremely creped out by this, but thought that it would make a perfect object to find; after all, she couldn't be the only one who thought snakes were gross. After another twenty minutes or so of walking, Asuna came to a quick halt causing Ayaka to gently bump and press into her. Asuna's head began to spin as she heard the gentle escape of air coming from the blonde behind her as well as the sudden grab on the back of her arms. For a quick moment there was silence before Asuna cleared her throat and remembered why she had stopped in the first place.
"Ayaka, look over there." she said as she pointed towards what caught her eye. "I think we're in luck."
Ayaka slowly brought her head up from between Asuna's shoulder blades and looked to where she was pointing. "I-is that...is that the snake skin hanging off of that rock over there?" she closed her eyes and shivered as she felt Asuna nod.
Asuna quickly left Ayaka and ran over to odd looking object on their list. Not really wanting to touch it herself, she snagged a stick off of the ground and stuck it through the dried bit of skin. It came loose from the rock with a slightly sickening snapping noise which caused Ayaka's stomach to turn instantly. She tried to hide her now green tinted face as Asuna made her way over to her. The orange haired girl was about to search through her bag for something she could put the snake skin in, when an idea popped into her head. To any rational person, this idea would seem to be stupid and very childish; but to Asuna, it seemed like the perfect way to start something with the class rep.
"Ayaka... Do you not like snakes or something?" she asked as an evil smile formed on her lips. "You really shouldn't be ya know... snakes are pretty cool. Just look at this!"
Ayaka screamed as the stick holding the snake skin was thrust in her direction. "AHHHH WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU MONKEY? THAT'S DISGUSTING!"
Asuna laughed and continued to inch towards the squeamish class rep. "Oh come on Ayaka... don't be such a baby!"
"ASUNA KAGURAZAKA, IF YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP CLOSER I SWEAR TO YOU THAT IT WILL BE YOUR LAST!" screamed Ayaka, now becoming deathly serious.
Then it happened; Asuna's foot hit the top of a tree root that was sticking out of the ground before her. Before she had time to react, she was already heading face first into a frozen in place Ayaka. With a loud crash, the two collided and tumbled backwards down a small hill. When they came to a stop, Ayaka felt something strange resting on her face. Opening her eyes, her soul seemed to jump completely out of her body as she realized that the snake skin was currently resting on her nose. With a scream she tore it off and started to scrub at her nose with the back of her arm. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Suddenly she heard a small laugh coming from beside her. With her face becoming red with rage, Ayaka looked over and saw that Asuna was sitting up and covering her mouth, eyes wide and filled with laughter.
"I'll have to admit it Ayaka..." began Asuna. "The snake skin look really suits you..."
All sense snapped from Ayaka at that very moment. "Why you!..."
Ayaka lunged for Asuna, surprise and a hint of fear striking the latter's face. Both hit the ground again in a twist of limbs and flying bits of dirt. Asuna quickly tried to get the upper hand, attempting to protect herself from the angry grabby hands of her class rep. She was surprised at how strong the blonde was; usually their fights were never this intense and always ended just as fast as they started. Heavy breathing and groaning came from the both of them as they rolled around trying to get the upper hand on the other. Neither was going to give up at this point, and it looked like a dead even battle.
With as much strength that Asuna could gather up without summoning her pactio contract, she grabbed Ayaka's shoulders and forced her to turn over on her back. She quickly rolled up on top of her and continued to hold her down. Ayaka struggled underneath of her, flailing her arms slightly as she tried to land a hit. She looked up and instantly her eyes locked with Asuna's. Ayaka didn't understand what came over her at that moment, but she felt a powerful heat crash through her entire body as soon as their eyes met. She quickly raised her hands to both sides of Asuna's face and pulled her down to hers, locking her into a deep kiss.
At first, Asuna had no idea what was going on. Was she really being pulled into a hot make out session with the one person she had dreamed about this with for the longest time? She opened her eyes briefly and glanced at the girl under her who was now desperately weaving her tongue around Asuna's bottom lip.
...FINALLY!
She slammed her eyes shut again and slowly opened her mouth, causing Ayaka to give a moan of approval. Ayaka's hands found themselves reaching up behind Asuna's head and ripping out her twin ponytails in order to get her hands better tangled up into her hair. Asuna slid her hands slowly down Ayaka's sides, coming to a rest on her hips. A fierce and heated battle was still raging its way between two girls tongues as both tried to fight for dominance. Ayaka broke quickly for air, and as she gasped she felt teeth close over her bottom lip, and gently pulling it forward. Asuna slowly began to move her hand to the bottom of Ayaka's shirt to lift it up when she felt a gentle nudge push her away. Confused, she looked at the class rep.
"We're kind of in the middle of a game right now Asuna..." Ayaka said with a smirk. "Besides monkey girl, you're hair is a total mess..." she winked at Asuna and gave an evil giggle.
Asuna sat up, still straddling the class rep. "Oh yeah? Well, you're all dirty... and had snake skin on your face."
Ayaka laughed as she watched Asuna stick her tongue out at her. Slowly, Asuna got up and brushed herself off. She then offered her hand to the blonde to help her off the ground. Ayaka also began to brush herself off when she suddenly felt hands gently brushing off her backside.
"We can't have something that looks that good covered in dirt..." mumbled Asuna before clearing her throat and turning around. "Anyway, let's get going we still got a few more things to grab. I'll go pick up the snake skin so we can head out."
Ayaka couldn't help but keep her eyes on the orange haired girl as she walked over to the object and placed it in a bag. She still couldn't get over what had just happened, or that she was in fact the one to initiate it. She had wanted this for so long and cursed at herself for ending it too quickly. Sighing, she stretched out her arms before joining Asuna on their walk back to resort for the rest of the objects. Without a word, Asuna reached out and grabbed Ayaka's hand. She looked up quickly and smiled at her before staring back down at the ground, thoughts lost with images of what almost could have been. Ayaka blushed but didn't pull out of the gesture.
That was unexpected, but I'm glad that something finally happened... now I know that she has similar feelings...I hope we get another chance soon, it would be a shame for that to be it...
/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*
There was a loud piercing scream that rang out from one of the resort rooms that had the potential to be heard from the other side of the island. The one scream was then joined by several others as the door to the room burst open and flung off of its hinges. Suddenly, a figure trampled its way out of the room and made a break for the beach; a large grin radiating off its dark features.
"Damn it Mana-san! Class rep is gonna killllll you!" yelled Haruna as she nudged the now broken door with her foot.
"Not if I get my hands on her first!" replied Chisame, bursting out of her room and hitting the beach with rage.
When the girls had seen that the sixth item on the object list was a pair of racy panties, they all knew that Chisame's room was the place to go. A full scale pillow fight and battle of flailing limbs had broken out just before Setsuna and Konoka had showed up outside the room. Seeing what was going on inside, the swordswoman gently stuck her arm out to push Konoka back while she carefully surveyed the scene. Almost the whole class had ended up here, making it near impossible to even enter the room. Just like that, Setsuna came up with a plan of action. She grabbed the heiress's hand and pulled her to the area behind the villas.
"Wait, what are we doing Set-chan? We won't win if we don't get our hands on Chisame-chan's sacred panties." sighed Konoka. She was very confused about why Setsuna had dragged her away from the scene leaving them in no position to gain the object.
Setsuna smiled at her with a determined look as she reached into her pocket. "There's no way we would be able to make it in that room, grab the underwear, and then make it out without being chased down." After fishing around her pocket for a moment she brought out a familiar piece of paper. "So, my plan is to summon our good friend mini-Setsuna to retrieve it for us..."
Konoka smiled and pumped her fist in the air. "Ooooo Set-chan, that's such a good idea! Plus, I get to see the little cutie again!"
After a few short words, mini-Setsuna popped to life and flew a few short feet upward. She slowly stretched out and gave a big yawn, scratching her backside as she exhaled. She was just about to turn around and complain to Setsuna about not being brought out enough, when she suddenly felt a pair of soft arms wrap around her stomach and pull her headfirst into a waiting set of perfect breasts.
"mmmppphphhhh mmphh mph!" said mini-Setsuna, trying to gently escape from Konoka's embrace.
Konoka squealed with joy. "Nyaaaaa mini Set-chan! I've missed your cute little face so much!"
"Kono-chan...I-I think you may be killing her...with your ch-cheast..." squeaked Setsuna as she watched her mini self being glomped very intimately. She also couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Konoka smiled and quickly let the poor mini-Setsuna go before she caused her to turn back into paper. Mini-Setsuna quickly fixed her hair and shirt before smiling back at the heiress and turning to her regular sized self for instruction. Setsuna told the mini swordswoman her plan to retrieve the panties from which ever girl came out of the door with them. She was to use her stealthy flying to sneak up on them, and then grab the object. Setsuna then instructed her mini self to evade the class at all costs and to meet at the jungle's edge ten minutes after she lost sight of the other girls.
Mini-Setsuna saluted her regular sized self. "Yes sir!" Then before leaving, she swooped back over to Konoka and planted a kiss on her cheek. "In case I don't make it back Kono-mama, I just wanted to tell you that I really like you!" Then she was off.
"Did...did she just call you...Kono-mama?..." Setsuna stared after the little swordswoman as she flew off towards the room, right eye twitching.
Konoka giggled. "Aww, she's just being cute Set-chan." She smirked and slowly turned away from her partner. "Does it bug you?"
Setsuna's face went red as she turned to face away from Konoka. She was about to stutter something out in response when the two of them heard a loud bang from the other side of the building. The swordswoman cursed to herself as she realised the only person who would do something so rash as blow up a door was Mana. Hopefully, their plan would still work despite having someone as perceptive as the assassin in control of the object. She grabbed Konoka's hand again and pulled her towards the jungle, stopping quickly along the way to grab a shell, seaweed, seaglass, and a rock. They would wait for mini-Setsuna here until she completed her mission. Setsuna watched as Konoka caught her breath and then slowly made her way down to the ground to sit while they waited.
Of course I'm jealous Konoka... I can't tell you anything about how I really feel because of the position I hold, and here's my mini self popping up with no sense and the all the ability in the world to say it...
After the time had passed, mini-Setsuna had arrived cheering and doing celebratory loop-de-loops in midair. She had somehow managed to trick Mana and capture the Holy Grail of panties. With another hug from Konoka and a salute with a promise of bringing her out more from her master, mini-Setsuna returned back to her paper state. While they waited, Konoka had managed to catch a bug, and found a pair of white socks in Setsuna's bag. She had also decided to take a marker to them and sign Negi's name on one. Apparently, the young teacher put his name on all of his clothes so by doing this Konoka was killing two birds with one stone.
They had made their way deeper into the jungle, hoping to steer clear of the rest of their class and try to find more of the objects. They already had eight of the fourteen needed and Setsuna figured that they must be farther ahead than everyone else was. Setsuna was feeling pretty good about their situation, and finally began to relax. She continued walking, behind Konoka now, with her arms raised and folded behind her head. She was also watching her princess swiftly glide and skip through the foliage laid out before them. There was something memorising about the way Konoka moved before her. Setsuna wasn't sure if it was the setting, or the fact that she found Konoka attractive anyway, but the chocolate haired girl was looking very beautiful and almost natural out here. She continued to smile as, at least just this one time, she freely let her thoughts about the heiress take over her mind. After a few moments of uninterrupted bliss, Setsuna heard Konoka gently call out to her. She opened her eyes and saw Konoka stopped in front of a bush, motioning for her to come over.
"Set-chan, you have to see this!" she whispered excitedly to her guardian.
Slowly, Konoka pulled back the bushes and walked through, Setsuna following close behind her. It was breath taking; laid out before them was one of the most beautiful waterfalls either of them had ever seen. The fall itself was at least thirty feet high and it fell into perfect green/blue shaded lagoon. Moving closer to it, Setsuna also saw the most of the lagoon was only about waist deep and was completely clear to the bottom. She also noticed that across from where she was, the clearing gently lead out to the beach and into the ocean. The swordswoman was still completely awestruck when she heard her name being called again.
"Set-chan, Set-chan!" Called Konoka from a rock that eventually leads into the waterfall. "Set up a picture of us with the water fall! It'll give us another object and a nice picture together of our vacation!"
Setsuna's heart gave a little thump as she heard how happy Konoka sounded to having a picture like this taken with her. She quickly reached down into her bag and grabbed a camera before running the bag over to a nearby tree. After fiddling around with some of the buttons for a few moments, Setsuna found the delay setting and started the timer. She quickly ran over to join Konoka on the rock and set herself up for the picture.
"Oh come on Set-chan." smiled Konoka. "It's a vacation... try to look more relaxed alright?"
With that, Konoka slipped both her arms around Setsuna's waist and pulled her in sideways. She then took one of Setsuna's arms and placed it around her shoulder before returning her arm back to the swordswoman's waist. Setsuna's face went bright red just as the camera flashed, catching her forever in her blushing state. Konoka couldn't help but be happy with herself.
Sure, being seductive is fun and teasing Setsuna is one of my favourite things to do... but things like this just seem so ...right... to me. I want more of this, that's for sure...
Konoka gently let go of Setsuna with a smile before making her way off of the rock to take a look at the picture. It was perfect and caught just enough of them with the surrounding area to look like it was professionally done. This picture would definitely give Kazumi a run for her money. Setsuna made her way over to take a look at the picture, also smiling at how nice it looked. Then, Konoka made her way over to the bag by the tree to place the camera back in. She was about to turn and walk back over to Setsuna when she felt a sudden sharp pain sear between her neck and left shoulder.
Faster than could ever be humanly possible, Setsuna summoned Yunnagi to her side and sped towards the target. With a slash, she felt her blade make contact with the perpetrator. Looking down, her face suddenly went into shock as she saw what it was that attacked Konoka. Laying in two pieces at her feet was an odd, brightly coloured snake; it must have fell from the tree branches above the beg and attacked Konoka on sight. Panicking, she quickly turned her attention to her injured princess on the ground.
"Ojou-sama! Are you alright?" her stomach turned as she saw a dark shade of red beginning to form at the bite spot. "Crap, this isn't good what do I do, what do I do?"
Konoka was beginning to feel dizzy, but was still able to think clearly. "I don't think I can use my healing magic like this Set-chan... quick, call Eva-san. Maybe her or Chachamaru will know what to do."
As fast as she could, Setsuna pulled out Konoka's phone and began to search through her contacts. Finally, she came across Evangeline's phone number and punched talk. It was agonizing listening to the ringing; of course she was just glad that the cell phone even had range out here. Suddenly, the swordswoman heard the gently click of the other end picking up.
"And what is it that you want Konoe?" answered Evangeline with an irritated sigh. "Did you call to bug me with dumb little stories of your ever so perfect vacation?"
"Well hello to you too Eva-san..." replied Setsuna in a rushed voice.
"Ohhh, Sakurazaki it's you, great." Setsuna could almost hear the rolling of Evageline's eyes on the other end. "What do you want?"
Setsuna took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Look, Konoka-ojou sama just got bitten by a snake out here in the jungle and is unable to use her healing magic to fix it. Basically, I'm wondering if I sent you a picture of the snake I killed, if you and Chachamaru could identify it and then possibly find out what I can do to help her."
Evangeline was about to playfully say no, but felt Chachamaru's hand coming to rest on her shoulder. "Tch, fine hurry up and send a picture to Chachamaru, it will directly go to her search files and she will able to help you..."
Quickly, Setsuna faced the camera in the phone towards the dead snake and zoomed in, making sure there was a clear picture of the colours and patterns. She took the picture and then sent it straight to Chachamaru. She kneeled back down beside Konoka and lifted the nearly unconscious girl into her arms. Holding her with her right arm, Setsuna quickly placed the phone back up to her ear with her left. She was listening for any word from Evangeline that would bring some hope. Finally after a few minutes, the swordswoman heard Chachamaru's voice in the background saying "analysis complete".
"So, what do I do?" yelled Setsuna.
"Just hold on for a moment won't you?" the dark mage breathed into the phone irritably. "Alright looking this print out over, it seems that Konoe there has a very serious bite from a rather poisonous species." She listened as Setsuna gulped and whimpered on the other end. "Pull yourself together! Now, there is one way you can save her Sakurazaki... are you sure you are willing?"
"Of course I'm willing! You know more than anyone, even Asuna-san, that I would do anything to save Ojou-sama!" replied Setsuna angrily. She was also slightly offended that Evangeline would even ask that.
"Well, I was just checking..." she mumbled. "Anyway, listen carefully. In order to stop the poison from reaching the blood stream and getting to her vital organs, it has to be removed...so, basically Sakurazaki... you need to put your mouth on the wound and suck the poison out..."
Setsuna blanked out for a second, trying to let the information she just received to sink in. "You... you want me to put my what, on where now?"
Both Evangeline and Chachamaru facepalmed. "Listen half-demon, man up, grow some proper lady balls and suck that poison out or you'll be holding onto a dead princess!" With that, Evangeline hung up the phone leaving Setsuna with some privacy.
Setsuna gulped again and stared down at Konoka's face. The chocolate haired girl still conscious, but only slightly. Then her eyes moved to the menacing looking mark at the base of Konoka's neck. With a final sigh, Setsuna slowly began to lean down, inching closer and closer to her princess's neck. She stopped just before reaching the bite mark and whispered into Konoka's ear.
"Please forgive me for my out of place actions...but I must save you, Kono-chan."
Her lips gently came down to rest on Konoka's neck around the bite mark. Slowly and very, very carefully being sure not to swallow any by accident began to suck out the poison. Little by little it came out, each time she would stop and be sure to spit out what had gathered before moving in again. She could feel Konoka slowly beginning to stir in her arms again. This made the situation a little less stressful, and allowed for Setsuna to relax a little as she felt a slowing to the amount of poison coming out. After another spit removal of a small amount, the swordswoman went back down for one last drawing to make sure that she got it all. Just as she was about to move away, she felt Konoka's hand gently grip onto her leg. She froze for a moment unsure of what to do.
"...mmmm, Set-chan..." a weak and subconscious moan escaped from Konoka's lips.
Good sweet crap! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do...Damn it! Of all the times for my body to want to give in, this really shouldn't be one of them!
Setsuna gently pulled away and slowly lowered Konoka's head down to rest on the bag. Then she slumped backwards and slid a few inches away from the heiress. Despite being a life or death situation, that was probably the most intimate Setsuna had ever been with Konoka since forming their pactio back in their third year. She had to admit that it was rather enjoyable, and of course it sent the desires inside her burning at full heat. It took her a few moments, but the swordswoman was finally able to calm herself down with meditation. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Konoka had regained full consciousness and was starting to look better. Setsuna smiled as the last bit of hormone induced images left her mind.
"Well, that was a close one..." whispered Konoka. "I think I'll be able to use my magic now to patch the rest up. I'm glad you were here to save me Set-chan...Thank you..."
Setsuna blushed a little but sent another smile her way. "It was no problem ojou...Kono-chan..."
She watched as Konoka touched her neck and slowly began to recite healing spells. The words coming from her mouth flowed out in a rhythmic fashion, each phrase seeming complicated but coming easily to Konoka. Setsuna was very impressed with how far her princess had come over the last few years with her magical studies and couldn't help but feel proud of her. When Konoka finished, she stood up and brushed herself off and Setsuna did the same. Suddenly she giggled to herself as she looked down at the snake that had attacked her.
"Well, at least we have another item!" said Konoka. "The little guy looks like he was just about to get rid of some skin." She bent down and picked up the loose skin hanging off of the snake, placing it into a container the bag.
"Great, now let's get going back to the resort." replied Setsuna. "We still have a few more things to get, if you're still up for it..."
Konoka nodded and both of them started to head towards the beach through the clearing. A thought popped into her head as Konoka remembered something she had watched once on the Discovery channel about snake bites. "You acted pretty fast back there Set-chan... how exactly did you get the poison out to quickly?"
Setsuna nearly tripped over her own foot at the question and began to flail her arms around trying to think of something to say. All Konoka could do was laugh at how awkward the swordswoman looked and how much she was trying to hide her blush.

The next stop for Konoka and Setsuna was the resort's bar. They had managed to grab some ocean water in a zip-lock bag and were now only left with a few more items. On their way back, they had passed by a few groups of their classmates heading out to the jungle, probably looking for their last few items as well. Thanks to mini-Setsuna, nobody knew that they possessed Chisame's panties and ended up making it to the bar without any interference. Now, Konoka was racing around the room in search of a shot glass.
"Set-chan, normally I would be happy to take the shot for us." Konoka began. "But since I just got bitten by that snake, even though I used my powers, it's probably a good idea for you to take it."
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense Kono-chan..." answered Setsuna with a sigh. As a trained and finely tuned bodyguard and sword master, Setsuna tried her hardest to keep a clear mind and stay away from alcohol.
After nearly tearing the place apart, Konoka came running over to the bar where Setsuna had perched herself waiting to get this part over with. Konoka slammed down the glass and grabbed the nearest alcohol that she could find. She quickly unscrewed the top and began to dump the gold coloured liquid into it. As Setsuna watched the glass fill she couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with it.
"Uhhh, first Kono-chan...what exactly is that in the glass?" she asked, still eyeing it questioningly.
Konoka glanced at the bottle and read the label. "Apparently it's Tequila. Wooo and it smells pretty strong."
Setsuna cringed. "Ok... second question. That glass seems a little large to be a shot glass. Are you certain that you grabbed the right one?"
Konoka nodded as she added a little more tequila to the glass. "Yep, it's not really that big Set-chan. You're just being paranoid. Now here, drink up!"
Setsuna coughed as Konoka quickly forced the glass to her lips and tipped it back. The swordswoman quickly took a gulp, trying very hard not to taste the liquid. Then there was another gulp, followed by another, and another. It occurred to Setsuna that shots where only supposed to be taken in one go. When the last bit was drained, Setsuna leaned back on the bar coughing as she felt the last little bit of tequila in her mouth pass. Then she heard a little "opps" come from Konoka.
"Ehheh... I think that you were right about the glass size..." whimpered Konoka.
Setsuna's head was spinning as she was told that instead of taking a shot, she had just downed a full to the brim high ball glass of Tequila. "Oh gods..."
Konoka came back with a smaller glass now and a lime wedge. "Here, take this last one and then bite down on this lime. It'll go down better and we can get the peel for our list...I'm so sorry Set-chan..."
"It's ok Kono-chan..." Setsuna took the shot and put the lime in her mouth. Her face tensed up as she felt the sour liquid burst through it. At the same time there was a click of a camera.
"You did have the perfect face for an embarrassing picture..." Konoka smiled weakly, feeling horrible for putting her guardian through this.
Setsuna waved it off and smiled at her princess; she was just happy to be of service. Since they now had all the objects they needed, Setsuna and Konoka decided it was now time to head back to the starting line and wait for Ayaka. The swordswoman began to get up when she suddenly felt a rush to her head. Setsuna Sakurazaki was many things from an expert at the sword to most loyal of friends; however, she was not someone who could hold her liquor. Considering that she pretty much downed an entire pint in less than a minute, she was moving pretty well. However, once they reached the door Setsuna began to stumble a little. Konoka Rushed to her side and put the swordswoman's arm over her shoulder, helping her to steady. They had made their way slowly to the start line and stood to wait for the others to show up. After a few moments, Setsuna's drunk took over and she began to talk.
"You know wha hono-chan? I don care wha any-hic...anybody says bout that Chamo dude back home... I likes him, buddy got... buddy gots some realz spunk!" she lowered her head after the last words.
Oh gods! I accidently killed Set-chan!...
Luckily, she could hear the laboured breathing coming from her incapacitated guardian. She took a deep breath and started cursing at herself for being so dumb to think that the first glass was a shot glass. Eventually, the rest of the class joined them and everyone turned out their lists and objects.
"Hey what's wrong with Setsuna-san?" asked Kazumi, pulling out a notepad.
"Uhh...we sort of had an accident in the bar and she ended up drinking a pint instead of a shot in under a minute..." answered Konoka as she tried to lift Setsuna's head up. She was greeted by a groan.
"Oh my Gods! You killed Sakurazaki!" yelled Makie
"You bastard!" replied Yuna with a laugh.
"Girls, this is no time for quoting cartoons from the comedy channel..." said Ayaka as she looked from Setsuna to the objects on the ground around her.
Apparently out of all the groups who had participated in the event, only two were actually able to complete the list; Konoka's group and Ayaka's group. It was all down to a tie until the class suddenly caught sight of a certain pair of panties lying on the ground next to Setsuna's bag.
"Y-you!" cried Chisame. "I'll kill you even more Setsuna-san!"
"So we all agree that team KonoSetsu wins yes?" asked Ayaka, winking towards Konaka who smiled back at her. There was a thunderous yes from the rest of the class.
"We won Honoka-chan! Wooooooooohoooo!" yelled Setsuna, randomly coming to life and pumping her fist into the air. "Maaaan, we're soooo good... and you're so goooood! Com'er a minutes..."
Out of nowhere, Setsuna grabbed a hold of Konoka's face and pulled her in for a drunken kiss. The whole glass gasped and Asuna's eyes popped out of her head as she watched Konoka burst with happiness. Unfortunately, the kiss ended just as abruptly as it started and Setsuna began to sway from side to side.
"Ohhhh nos...here comes the grounds!" mumbled Setsuna as she finally passed out face down in the sand.
