Me: HHH AHHHHH AAHHHHH AHHHH FUCK SKYPE

Nao: ...?

Me: I got that damn virus on my computer and took it to my dad to get fixed. Instead of fixing it, he wiped my hard drive. I lost all my writings, ALL OF IT! I lost this chapter that I'd already done and had to rewrite it. So now here it is, really late and probably not as good as before!

Natsuki: Shu, the universe does not want you to write this story...

Me: T.T

Chapter 8

Nao groaned from her place in the bed. The small fan in the corner of the room rotated as quickly as the small solar panel powering it would allow it to go. It was the final day of the heat wave and all camp activities were canceled. Even the lake was closed off because I girl had jumped in it, and since the water was so cold and she was so hot before, the sudden change in temperature made her faint in the water. Chie had jump into the water to save the sinking girl before she drowned, and Shizuru declared the lake closed.

Most girls were just playing in their rooms with the windows open, slowly decaying and cursing Kami for the hottest heat wave to hit Fuuka in the last 25 years. Others were in the showers, just sitting on the floor and slowly turning down the water temperature so that they could cool down without fainting. Those girls were smart, but also hated, because there were only 10 shower stalls in the camp, and they were all filled up. Everyone else was left to suffer.

There was only one building in the entire camp that had an air conditioner, but the staff kept it a complete secret and dared not let anyone know, since the small building would quickly fill with campers.

Nao peeled herself off her bed and sighed, looking at Nina weakly, "Nina… I have an idea. You gotta help me." she said, plopping back down onto her bed.

The bluenette sighed and shook her head. While everyone else in the cabin was sweating and wearing minimal clothing – some opting to stay in their underwear – Nina was wearing just shorts and a shirt, not sweating, barely affected by the heat. Though she was sitting at the head of Nao's bed, fanning the red head at a steady pace, "I'm not gonna let you do some scheme and get in trouble." she declared.

Nao's lime eyes narrowed at her new girlfriend. "It's not fair! Everyone in the camp is dying and yet you're just sitting here! What super magical ice powers are you hiding in your cold expressions?" Nao asked, offering up a small smile.

The girl glared back and stopped fanning her girlfriend. Instead she stood and turned her back to the red head, "Fine, be that way, see if I help you at all."

"Aww it's not like that, Nina." Nao muttered, getting up and sitting on the edge of her bed next to the upset girl, "It's just frustrating that I'm sweating over here and you're just as cool as every other day. Hell, we're in the mountains! It's probably so much worse for everyone still left in Fuuka."

Nina nodded and sighed, "I'd probably be just as bad as you if I was still in the city instead of the camp. But that doesn't mean I'm going to feel bad about being cool." she said, quickly sticking her tongue out at the girl before turning her head away.

Nao rolled her eyes. Nina was a good girl but she was still raised by a multi-millionaire and could be a little snooty sometimes. Looking back over at her girlfriend, Nao saw a small bead of sweat about to roll down her girlfriend's neck. She smirked slightly, "Looks like you're not that cool after all…" she muttered, putting her finger on the girl's back and running her finger down.

The next few moments in the cabin became extremely awkward…

At the feeling of something rolling down her back, Nina's back arched and a deep moan rolled out of her mouth, startling everyone in the room and making them all look at her.

One of the girls in the cabin blinked and got up quickly, "Well I'll be going…"

All the other girls followed suit, each getting up and mumbling an excuse to get away from the couple. Nina sat on the bed with a deep blush on her face, complete embarrassment print all over her face in permanent sharpie. Nao was sitting on the bed, half trying to keep her laughs to herself and half in shear amazement. Most girls, when they're touched like that, just giggle or squirm because it tickles…

"I swear to god if you say I word I'm going to break up with you." Nina muttered, curling up in a ball on the edge of the bed and putting her forehead on her arms…

Nao raised her brows, "Okay, I won't say anything." She said simply, reaching over and running her finger down her girlfriend's back. Nina's eyes widened as another deep moan came from her.

She got up and glared at the red head, "You asshole!"

"Ahhahhahaha!" Nao laughed, rolling onto her back and laughing up a storm, "That's so adorable!" she yelled, pointing a finger at the furious girl on the other side of the bed.

Nina's angry expression dropped for a bit as her face continued to blaze, "You don't… think it's weird? Or disgusting?"

Rolling her eyes, Nao stood up and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, shaking her head, "No, and don't think it is. So you're back is sensitive, who cares? All it means is that I will always top." she said, grinning widely.

Nina's face lit up again, but this time she just nodded and leaned further into her girlfriend's arms, "Hey, Nao?"

"Yea?"

"You're still sweaty and you kinda stink, can you get off of me now?"

"Just as soon as you agree to help me with my plan."

"Deal, just get off."

Nao grinned again and stepped back, "We're gonna go raid the kitchen to try and find the freezer full of ice!"

Sitting under her new favorite tree in the entire camp, Natsuki was scribbling all over a paper, mapping out the basic areas on the right side of the paper and making a few lines to show the nearby trails that she knew of. She was trying as best she could to section out the area around the camp so that she could have a better chance of finding the tree-house.

She's been so distracted with Nao and Shizuru that she almost forgot to look for it! She only had a couple more weeks before she lost her chance as a camper. But since today was the day that no one was doing anything, she finally had some time to herself to figure out a plan.

First, she started by drawing the trail that Mai and her went on the first night. When she got to the fork, she drew it leading to the beach, and then put an X over it, but Mai's side had to stop since the busty girl later confessed that she never actually went half her half of the trail.

Next, she drew the trail that Chie told her about, the one that went through the middle of the forest and straight to the waterfall. She even remembered to draw the crude bridge that went across the pond to it. Though her drawings were a little…. Horrible, she could tell what it was, and that's all that mattered.

Her map stopped after the waterfall, since she doubted that it went any farther than that. Natsuki dcided it'd be best to search the entire forest, going out each night and cutting it into sections, using the trail to the waterfall as center piece, since it went right through her map.

"This would be so much easier if there was an actual map of the area…" she muttered, rubbing her hand across her forehead and wiping her sweat, "Fuck this heat!"

"Ara, I knew I'd find you here…" Shizuru said, being her knees and looking over the bluenette's shoulder, "And what's this? A map?"

Natsuki turned quickly and looked over her shoulder, her eyes meeting the wonderful view of the Shizuru's breasts tucked into a small spaghetti strap shirt. The brunette was also wearing simple sandals and small shorts, with a big fancy hat placed on top of her head. Even with the shade on her face and the minimal clothes, her face was still beat red. Just like Natsuki's as she continued to stare straight ahead into the amazing view that was in front of her.

Shizuru took a quick glance at the map and instantly grinned at what she saw, "Were you planning on going to the waterfall to escape the heat?"

Snapping back to attention, Natsuki looked back at her paper and then back up to the wine colored eyes that were looking at her so lovingly. "Uh…." 'Shit, I can't just tell her about the tree house. If it violated a camp rule, she might have it taken down. Or the secret will get out and everyone will know about it. I have to keep this between me and my mom…' she thought quickly, "Y-Yea, I was trying to make a good map to get there." she said weakly.

Squatting down next to her girlfriend, Shizuru smiled and kissed the girls cheek, "I've been wanting to take you there. It's a really romantic place, good luck for a new couple." she said, recalling a rumor that a counselor had told her her first year there, back before Natsuki was allowed to enter the camp because of the age restrictions.

There are three secrets to romance at the camp, first is the wooing stage and that place is the crystal room. But that place has been missing for a few years, so we're not sure where it is… But the second is the waterfall, it's supposed to bring good luck to the new couple because there is always fresh, renewed water flowing over it. It's also good for breakups. And the last stage of the relationship is sex… but no one here really knows where that it is; my old counselor built it when it was my first year but… I'm not sure what it is.

That's what her counselor had told her. 'Wow, going to the waterfall with Natsuki to celebrate our new relationship!' Shizuru thought, 'After that, maybe we can find the secret place and… move up in our relationship. Her thoughts ended with a deep blush rising to her face.

Natsuki, looking at the girl, raising her brow and put the back of the hand to the girls cheek, "'Zuru, you okay? Your face is a bit redder than it was a few moments ago…"

The girl slowly leaned into the girl's palm and closed her eyes, nodding a bit, "Because you're close to me, my Nat-su-ki-chan…"

This time it was the bluenette's turn to blush brighter than before.

"Hey guys, either of you seen Aoi anywhere?" Chie asked, stealing both the girls attention from each other. The taller girl was completely out of breath, sweat dripping through her uniform shirt, soaking around her collar. Her hair was even wilder than usual, and she looked completely worried.

Shizuru stood slowly and gave her friend a concerned look, "Chie, I'm sure you can talk to Aoi when the heat wave is over, you shouldn't be running around in this heat." she said, miling bit and putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.

The bluenette also stood and nodded, "Seriously, Chie. You're gonna die of heat exhaustion. Just take a break, I'm sure she'll understand. Just because you used to be a heart breaker doesn't mean that she doesn't care about you anymore. I've never seen you so devoted to someone."

Chie sighed and shook her head, "No, I have to find her. I have to try to explain myself. Explain that I've changed, and that I don't need any other girls. I just want her…"

"Ara, she'll understand, Chie, trust me. Aoi is such a sweet girl, and I'm sure she loves you." the Kyoto-en said, making the taller girl grin a bit.

"…You really think she loves me?"

"Like I love mayo!" Natsuki said happily, patting her friends shoulder.

Shizuru blinked and looked at the girl expectantly, "So, the thing Natsuki loves most in this world is mayo?"

"Of course!" the bluenette said with a giant grin. Though a moment later her face fell as she realized what she'd said, "I mean.. um… It's not the thing I love the most, of course that's you, 'Zuru! Eheh…" she said, chuckling nervously.

Chie frowned at them slightly. Her and Aoi had just gotten together too… "I'm gonna keep looking." she said, though she was ignored by the couple as she ran off up the path towards the camp

Nao maneuvered the hairpin in her hand carefully, moving it around inside the lock in front of her. It led to the inside of the freezer, which had delicious, delicious ice inside just waiting for the red head. Hearing a familiar click, she grinned and pulled the lock off, while Nina looked over from her place at the door where she was working as watch dog, "Did you get it?" she called.

Nao came over to her with a couple plastic bags in her arms, just like you'd buy from the grocery store, "Yup!" The two quickly departed from the kitchen, only to see Chie standing outside the door, looking at them with her arms crossed over her chest. Nao grinned nervously, while the bluenette behind her shrank, "H-Hey, Chie! How's it going?"

The girl shook her head, wiping her brow of more sweat, "I saw looking for Aoi… when I saw the door open. Are you… really trying to steal… ice from the… kitchen…?" she asked, completely out of breath.

Nina raised her brows and came out from behind her girlfriend, "Chie, have you been running a lot today?" she asked.

The taller girl nodded and leaned forward, putting her hands on her knees, "Yea… but I'm fine…" she said, though her breathing only became more labored, "I have to find Aoi…"

"You won't find her if you're passed out from heat exhaustion." Nina said, coming forward and putting a hand on the girl's shoulders. She tried to make the girl stand up, but Chie just stood there, panting heavily. "Come on Chie, you need to lay down.." she said, pushing the girls shoulders a bit to try and incite her to move.

Instead, the girl swayed back, then forth, tried to catch her footing by shifting her feet, then toppled over onto her side.

"CHIE!" Nao screamed, dropping the ice and running to the girl's side, pushing her onto her back. "Shit." she muttered, looking at Nina, help me get her onto my back, "I'll carry her to the nurse!" she said.

The two girls worked together and put the larger girl onto Nao's back, but not before the red head remembered something, "Don't forget the ice!"

Nina glared at the girl, "This is not the time for yo-"

"She'll need it!" The red head screamed again, leaving the girl behind and trudging on, up the hill to the nurse's office, even though Chie was much heavier than herself. The bluenette immediately shut up, grabbed the two heavy bags of ice, and followed her girlfriend up the hill.

Sitting on the porch of the counselor's office, Natsuki worked on her map, using Shizuru's points to figure it out. The trail to the water fall wasn't actually as twisty as she thought; it was pretty straight forward, except for near the end, where you had to slide down a hill.

She grinned at her map, "I can't wait to find you…" she muttered, thinking about the tree house

"Find what?" Shizuru asked, walking out with two glasses of lemonade.

"…The waterfall. I haven't seen it yet…" the girl said, dropping her map on the floor and taking one of the glasses.

Shizuru smiled and sat next to the girl, "I can't wait to spend some private time with you. We've only gotten today off because no one had any duties today. Tomorrow I'll be back to watching campers and working as a counselor. Ara, I wish I didn't have to work all the time."

"Well… I'm sure we'll find some time. It can't be that hard to get alone time in this place." Natsuki said, smiling sweetly at her love.

The Kyoto girl's heart relaxed a bit. She ignored the heat and the blinding sun for a moment to lean in and kiss her girlfriend quickly, enjoying the time they were able to spend together right in that moment.

"Natsuki! Shizuru!"

Both girls stopped the kiss and looked over to see a frantic Nina running towards them. Both girls jumped up, dropping their drinks on the ground and met the girl half way, "What happened?" Natsuki questioned instantly.

Nina was panicking, on the brim of tears, "C-Chie! She was scolding us and then she passed out from the heat! But then Nao carried her up the hill to the nurses office but she over exerted herself and she-"

Natsuki cut off the girl by simply running past her, sprinting up the hill and towards the nurse's office. Shizuru sighed and grabbed Nina's hand, pulling the girl up the hill at a much more reserved pace because of the heat. Bursting into the nurses office, Natsuki saw Chie laying on one bed, and Nao laying on another. Youko was writing some things on a clipboard while Midori was stuffing ice into some water bottles.

"What happened?" she questioned.

The nurse didn't even look up as she kept writing, "Chie has passed out from overheating and dehydration. I need to set her up with an IV or else she's going to need to go to a hospital. How old is she?" she asked, putting own the board and going into the back closet.

"18." the bluenette responded.

"Natsuki, help me." Midori said, tossing a bottle to the girl. She nodded and walked to the table, filling the bottle with as much ice as she could.

Youko came back in with an IV hanging while she attached a needle to the end of the hose, "Perfect, than she won't need parental consent." she said, holding Chie's arm carefully before quickly and painlessly placing the needle in the girls vein, "Bottles, place." she said.

Midori handed over half the bottles. Youko placed them around the girl's body before moving to the end of the bed and taking off the girl's shoes and sock. "Place the others around Nao; she just needs to cool down for now."

The bluenette took over this task, carefully placing the bottles around her friend and wiping the girl's brow. Nao had pretty much saved Chie from having to go to the hospital, and it cost her her own health too. Natsuki sighed and followed Youko's suit, taking off the red head's shoes to help them cool down.

Finally, Shizuru and Nina ran into the room. Natsuki was quickly pushed out of the way as Nina inspected her girlfriend, looking over her worriedly. Midori came up behind the girl and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Don't worry, my woman took care of her. She'll be fine in a couple hours." she said proudly.

Youko sweatdropped and glared at the girl, "Midori-chan, please don't call me your 'woman'."

"You love it." the girl responded with a grin.

Shizuru sighed from her place beside Chie's bed. She was holding the charcoal haired girl's hand. Chie's face was still bright red, brighter then before, even though it was completely cool inside. Wait a minute… She turned to the nurse and raised her brows, "Youko-sama, is this the secret building in the camp with air conditioning?" she asked.

Midori grinned even wider and nodded, "Why do you think I haven't left this building since the heat wave hit?"

"We figured you were busy…" Natsuki muttered, nodding towards the nurse.

Midori and Youko both blushed and dismissed the accusations.

Shizuru turned to her girlfriend with a sour smile, "Natsuki-chan, do me favor?" she asked slowly.

"Ya?"

"Bring me Aoi-san. And show no mercy."

"…Gladly."
