Natsu and Kyouya decided to back downstairs. No one decided to talk about earlier. Which was fine by Natsu. She really didn't want to talk about it. She just wanted them all to do what they had planned on doing while at the cabin. And it was dinner time now.
And of course, unlike normal campers, they had a chef. But Natsu was not going to complain. She would much rather have good uncommon camping food, than bad camping food. Everyone just had their own conversations during dinner. But of course conversations mixed and eventually became one big conversation. Natsu was pretty silent. But then she had a brilliant idea.
Natsu waited for dessert. And of course they had any dessert item you could think of there. Much more than all of them could eat, which was perfect in her opinion. She waited for everyone to be eating some. And then out of no where, she picked up a piece of cake and rubbed it in Kyouya's face. She had a calm face like nothing just happened.
Everyone had become silent and looked at Kyouya. Then everyone started laughing. Kyouya calmly took off his glasses and cleaned them off. She just grinned largely at him. But then he grabbed a piece of cake and threw it at her. But she ducked and it hit Tamaki. Everyone laughed and soon everyone joined in.
By the end of the food fight, no one went unmarked. Everyone was covered in cake, crumbs and ice cream. And maybe some other stuff as well. They were all standing or sitting. No one really had the energy or inspiration to throw more food. Natsu was sitting at the table with a smile. It was so worth it.
"I think… we all need to shower." Haruhi pointed out.
"Hai." The twins agreed. (Hotaru: Hai means yes in Japanese)
Everyone got up. Natsu was feeling pretty grimy. She really wanted to get cleaned up. And get the frosting out of her hair.
"It's a large co-ed bathroom." Kyouya stated.
Everyone froze and looked at him. Not only was it one large bathroom… but it was co-ed. As in boy and girls together. Me and Haruhi shrugged and started walking off. I stopped at the door to go upstairs. The showers were on the second floor.
"You guys coming?" I asked "innocently."
All the guys seemed rather nervous about the idea. Even Mori and Kyouya who were always so calm. But Kyouya got up and was the first of the boys to follow. Tamaki seemed to most resistant to the idea, but he really wanted to get clean.
We all went to the third floor to get our stuff before going to the bathroom. There were about 10 showers. Each had a wooden door, that didn't lock or anything, it opened to a small space and then a shower curtain with the shower behind it.
It would be very easy to spy on the person in the next stall from your's. And of course that passed through most of the boys minds, but didn't stick. They were embarrassed about even thinking it. Haruhi and Natsu didn't seem to care much, but maybe being commoners did that.
Haruhi was the first in the shower, which made Tamaki more nervous than before. He just ran into the stall furthest away from hers. She was in the last stall, and Natsu took the one next to her. And then down the line it went Kyouya, Hikaru, Kaoru, Hunny and Mori, and Tamaki in the last one.
Natsu undressed, tossing her gross clothes, including underwear and bra out of the stall completely. She kind of did it on purpose, putting the bra and underwear on top, to embarrass the guys. She wasn't afraid to show herself. She wasn't very modest.
She got into the shower and washed all the grossness off her and out of her hair. It took her a while since she had so much hair. Everyone else was done before her. But not by long. She decided she really wanted to embarrass all the boys, so she put on her shorts, and her bra, but not her tank top. She left her stall before the other's since they were all getting completely changed.
I was going to pretend I wasn't doing it on purpose. So I decided to call out to Kyouya.
"Kyouya… where's the hair dryer?" I called.
"One second." He replied.
After a moment he came out with no shirt on. But he was a boy. But when he looked at Natsu he turned the darkest shade of red she had ever seen. She just leaned against the counter. She looked at him keeping her innocent look.
The other's came out, well Mori, Hunny and Haruhi came out and stared. Hikaru went to come out, but spotted Natsu and freaked.
"Put a shirt on!" He cried out.
Kaoru came out and looked at me. He looked at Hikaru's door.
"She's wearing a bra Hikaru." He stated.
Tamaki came out. "Who's what?"
He looked at Natsu and turned a dark red. He couldn't say anything. Hikaru came out and tried not looking at Natsu. She grinned. But then decided to do something while everyone was watching her. She turned around, and opened the drawer, but everyone snapped out of their "OMG a girl without a shirt on" expressions and changed into "Oh my gosh" expressions.
She had some bruises and scars on my back. Kyouya and the twins seemed less shocked but still didn't like it. Everyone else seemed completely shocked though.
Natsu started blow drying her hair like nothing was wrong. She was waiting to see if anyone would say anything or if they'd all just stare. But after a moment Tamaki seemed to snap out of his shock and speak softly.
"Natsu… you have…" He couldn't seem to finish his sentence.
"Yeah… well that's what years of abuse from an alcoholic mother looks like." She said simply.
Tamaki seemed stunned again. No one said anything, so Natsu spoke instead. Well she spoke after a couple more minutes of silence and when she finished her hair. She put away the blow dryer and turned.
"It's not a big deal really." She shrugged.
Everyone seemed to become sick at that statement. They all seemed to hate the idea of someone who was so abused just said it wasn't a big deal. As if it were something like getting grounded or something. Everyone looked at Kyouya.
"She's not going back to her mother." He stated to them all.
Natsu blinked. She had put on her shirt. She looked at him. She thought he wasn't really serious about that. Normally he'd say it and let the idea slip away, but this time, he seemed to mean it. She looked at him with a worried expression. Was he really going to take her away from her mother? He'd probably have her arrested as well.
The maids came in and cleaned up everyone's dessert clothes to wash them. Everyone kind of stood there, nervous and silent. Natsu finally just left the room not replying to Kyouya. She wasn't sure about this anymore. Could she really live with Kyouya? The idea made her blush. She was surprised. Why was she blushing? Did… she have a thing… for Kyouya? Maybe that kiss earlier hadn't been a fluke at all. She would have to figure it out as they went along.
