Day 5 of 7 at the beach house
Kaorin woke up the next morning, quickly got dressed, and exited her room. She stopped in the hallway outside Sakaki's room to find Tomo taking pictures. When she saw what Tomo was taking pictures of, she almost passed out.
Sakaki's arms were wrapped around Joe, and Joe's arms were wrapped around Sakaki. The biggest shocker to Kaorin, though, was that Joe's right cheek was pressed up against Sakaki's breasts. And both of them were smiling.
…
Sakaki's dream
…
She dreamed she was hugging with every last cat on the planet. The were so warm next to her body.
…
Joe's dream
…
He was hugging his cat, which was warm next to his body. But he was also lying on the most comfortable pillow he had ever laid on.
…
Back to reality
…
Kaorin started breathing heavily. Tomo continued to take pictures as fast as she could, and now she was giggling.
"I…Is anybody else up?" Kaorin asked.
"Only Chiyo-chan, but she was downstairs, eating breakfast" Tomo responded
"What's all the commotion?" Yomi asked. Both her and Kagura had gotten up, and had come to see what the commotion was about.
"Come take a look for yourselves" Tomo responded
Both Kagura and Yomi came to look, and both of them gasped. Not at the fact that they were hugging each other in their sleep, but the fact that Joe's face was on Sakaki's breasts.
Sakaki was now awake, and slowly opened her eyes. She softly stroked something, and she realized it didn't feel like cat's fur at all. She looked down, and she immediately blushed in embarrassment.
Joe was still sleeping, with that grin on his face.
Guess it's time to wake him up, Yomi thought. "Oi, Joe!" she yelled
Joe slightly opened his eyes. Although he didn't have his glasses on, he could clearly make out that 4 people were standing in the doorway.
"Go away, let me sleep," Joe said, still in a half-asleep state, and buried his face in what he thought was a super soft pillow, and pulled closer what he thought was his cat.
Sakaki blushed harder in embarrassment.
"Joe! Look at what your face is on!" Yomi yelled.
Joe opened one eye just a little, and he saw that what he had his face on was not a pillow.
What in the world is this? he wondered
"Uh, J…J…Joe…" Sakaki stuttered, still blushing in embarrassment.
Joe's one open eye slowly looked up, and he very clearly saw Sakaki's face. His one eye then followed down her body to where his head was lying.
He then realized where his head was. Both his eyes shot fully open as he realized it, and moved very quickly to the opposite wall.
"S..S…Sorry, Sakaki, I didn't realize..." Joe started.
"I…It's alright," Sakaki said. "I'm sure you didn't know…"
Tomo started laughing loudly. "And I've got pictures of the whole incident!" She stated loudly.
"Not quite" Chiyo was leaning up against the wall right next to the door, and she was smiling evilly. She had snuck up so silently that nobody had heard her.
"What do you mean by not quite?!" Tomo yelled.
Chiyo held something up. "Missing something?" she said
Tomo recognized it as film. She quickly opened up her camera's film holder to find it empty. Rivers started to flow from her eyes.
Chiyo just continued to smile. "When I woke up early this morning, I saw those two like that. I knew Tomo would try to do something evil like that, so I found her camera and took the film out of it."
Amazing, Yomi thought in shock, not only does she have the genius, but now she's using it, too!
Tomo tried to grab the film out of Chiyo's hand, but Chiyo quickly flipped it into her hand.
"We'll give you two a minute alone" Chiyo said, and calmly closed the door.
"You seem very calm about all of this, Chiyo-chan" Yomi said, her glasses glinting as if she were on to something.
Chiyo just smiled, and laughed quietly. "It's about time he got a girlfriend. I just didn't think it would start out that way." She said as she walked downstairs
"You mean he's never had a girlfriend?!" Kagura said in shock, as they all followed Chiyo downstairs.
Nobody had noticed, but Kaorin had pressed her ear against the door.
…
Sakaki was still blushing in embarrassment. Joe had managed to grab his glasses and put them on, but he was also blushing in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Sakaki" Joe started. "I…didn't realize where I was, and I tend to roll around in my sleep."
"That's alright," Sakaki said quietly.
"I've got to say, though, you're very warm," Joe said sincerely, as he blushed harder.
Sakaki blushed harder, but this time it was because Joe was complementing her.
Joe looked over, his face turning back to normal. "God, you're cute when you blush"
Sakaki continued to blush, and this time, was smiling.
"Thanks" Sakaki said.
"Well," Joe said as he stood up. "I think it's time we got a start to our day. I'm just glad Chiyo was covering for us, otherwise we would have had to deal with Tomo possibly black-mailing us with those pictures."
Sakaki nodded in agreement, as she stood up and stretched out.
Joe moved too quickly for Sakaki to react, but he gave her another hug. He was only about 4 cm taller than her, so it was a full body hug.
…
Outside, Kaorin felt like she had been kicked in the stomach.
…
Sakaki blushed. He's very warm too, she thought.
Joe let go, walked out the door, and closed it.
He was then choked by Kaorin.
"What were you doing to Sakaki?!" She screamed
"Nothing" Joe barely managed to get out. Kaorin had the death grip on his neck, and wasn't letting go.
"I knew you just wanted to get close to Sakaki when you asked to sleep in her room!" Kaorin screamed.
Sakaki then opened the door, and walked out of the room, fully dressed.
Kaorin immediately let go of Joe's neck (Joe took a deep breath of air, and started coughing) and Kaorin kicked him against the wall at the end of the hallway.
"Good morning, Sakaki" Kaorin said
"Morning" Sakaki said in her cool monotone voice
She walked by Kaorin (who was standing there admiring), and walked to Joe. She stopped for a second, smiled, and then went downstairs.
Joe was smiling as he watched her walk down the stairs. He then very quickly got up to keep his eyes on Kaorin, who looked ready to kill him again.
…
After the whole morning escapade, everybody decided rather than go swimming (like they had done the past 4 days) they would simply go for a walk along the beach.
…
Kaorin continued to just stare at the ocean while everybody else talked about random stuff.
Suddenly, Tomo kicked up water into the air to try to get everybody wet.
Everybody had been watching Tomo, though, saw this coming, and easily jumped out of the way.
"Seriously, Tomo" Joe said, "I think everybody here pretty much knows when you are planning on doing something evil."
Tomo pouted, obviously disappointed that she had missed everybody.
"Hey, what's that?" Nyamo asked.
Everybody looked to see what Nyamo was asking about.
It was what looked like an old beaten-down shack. Outside was a sign that said "Hinatasou Tea House"
"Oh, good. I could use some tea," Nyamo said.
"And I could use some sake!" Yukari yelled
"No you don't!" Everybody yelled.
They all walked inside.
"Hello, welcome to Hinatasou tea house. You're lucky, you're our last customers of the day." The girl standing in front had long flowing blonde-brownish hair, and the air around her just seemed to sparkle.
"Oh, good" Joe responded.
"By the way, my name is Naru Narusegewa. Please let me know if there is anything you need" Naru said.
"Iced tea, please" Nyamo said
"Cola!" Chiyo said.
"Beer!" Yukari said
"Did I hear someone request an alcoholic drink?" Kitsune poked her head out of the kitchen.
"All right! We have ourselves another drinker!" Yukari yelled enthusiastically.
"She has an Osaka accent," Osaka said
"Well now, isn't this a treat? I get to meet with a alcohol drinker and another person from Osaka."
Tomo then ran up to Kitsune and pointed at her.
"Are you Osaka's big sister?" Tomo asked
Kitsune just stood there with a confused look on her face, while everybody else sweat-dropped.
My god, she is that stupid, Joe thought
…
Needless to say, the rest of the night did not end well, with Yukari drinking until she was sick to her stomach.
After they all got back to the beach house, they all went to bed. Joe, however, had no idea he was going to have another bad dream that night.
