Because I promised cj12kal93 that there would be a return trip, and felt like writing some pointless…pointlessness…at 1 in the morning :p sue me.

Talking about being sued. I haven't put one of THESE up have I?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Mai-Hime or Otome and I sure as hell ain't making money off of this, so don't sue me! I'm too young for a lawsuit! Dx


Ok. So that trip didn't go exactly the way we wanted it to go…we eventually came back, of course. Leaving all our camping stuff back there is…bad for the environment…anyways, when we got back, well, there wasn't much left. That monster of a bear tore everything apart. We took what we could, and disposed of the rest. God! This was supposed to be a four day camping trip, but it turned into one big nightmare! Why do things like this happen to me?! Why?!


Hitchhiker


The sound of the rumbling vehicle was softly ringing throughout the car. The late night and early morning passed by through the windows, and the six who occupied the now much less crowded SUV sat quietly in their seats, contemplating what had just recently happened to them.

Kaku kept her eyes fixed on the road with an expressionless, more or less bored, face while her arms mechanically moved to drive the vehicle. Yui sat quietly in the passenger seat, a light smile fixed on her lips and her hands folded neatly on her lap. Chie was quietly scanning through her digital camera, frowning at the small amount of pictures she had acquired, and Aoi was looking through her bag for…something.

Then, there was Nao and Natsuki, sitting in the back seat, sulking. They sat as far away from each other as possible and each was staring out the window, a more or less bored expression plastered on their faces, while on the inside, a storm had brewed.

Natsuki watched the scenery pass her by. Trees, cows, more trees, horses, bushes, grass, trees…she sighed. It was barely audible. Natsuki frowned and leaned her cheek against the window, her inner turmoil giving her a beast of a headache. Reluctantly, she turned her head slightly to catch a glimpse of red hair. Nao had effectively kept herself from meeting Natsuki's eyes. Feeling like a failure, Natsuki sighed again and looked out the window again where more cows, trees, horses, and whatever else lay waiting for her.

Nao scrunched her face in distaste, and it wasn't from kissing a possibly rabies infected raccoon. She couldn't get the scene out of her head. She was really going to do it. She almost ki-Nao held her inner tongue and closed her eyes, only to make it worse. The image was clearer and replaying in High Definition. With a frustrated, but silent, groan Nao opened her eyes and looked out the window.

A scene of great and vast boredom greeted her. Endlessly endless acres of grassy fields full of sweet nothing. She glanced at Natsuki's window and frowned even more. At least she has cows…Nao sighed again and rested her cheek on her palm. The night was quiet. Far too quiet. She looked ahead to find everyone else just as bored as she was. No one mentioned the bear. No one wanted to mention it. She looked out the window again.

Kaku glanced up at the rearview mirror and turned to Yui, "Quiet, isn't it?"

"Mmm."

"Ah, and I was really looking forward to the rest of that trip too." Kaku frowned and sighed.

Yui smiled, "There's always next year, no? Besides, we don't have the supplies to continue the trip anyways."

"Man! That bear tore everything up!" The girl clenched the steering wheel and groaned. Yui sent her friend a pitying look before patting her gently on the arm.

Chie scoffed and leaned back in her seat, "Damn. Only got a few pictures."

Aoi sighed and stopped rummaging through her back pack. With a frown, she crossed her arms and leaned back in her own seat, "I lost it…" She turned to Chie, who was blindly going through the pictures, but quirked an eyebrow when Chie smiled at one of them.

Aoi stretched across the small gap between them and looked over Chie's shoulder. She was met with a bright screen flashing a picture of her smiling face. Chie immediately blushed and turned the digital camera off. Aoi was shocked for a second, but giggled the next.

Chie turned her head away from Aoi, afraid of what reaction she would pull from her brown haired companion. Aoi instead boldly kissed Chie lightly on the cheek. Chie tensed and shyly turned to look at a smiling Aoi, "Like I said, you're good at taking pictures, especially of pretty girls, right?" Chie's blush deepened, and Aoi laughed again.

Natsuki sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time. She was bored, but her mind couldn't stop working. There was nothing to do but mull over what had happened to her just an hour or two ago. Then there was the dream matter. Natsuki shivered. That dream felt so real. The images were so vivid. Everything was just so…realistic. Natsuki sighed again when she realized the reason that it felt as such was because it was actually happening in reality. She groaned and pressed her forehead against the window. What the hell…of all the people to have dirty dreams about…She glanced at Nao before blushing and turning back to the window.

Natsuki again watched as one by one, each boring aspect of the night whizzed by her, that is, until she saw something moving up ahead. The girl squinted and took a closer look as they neared what, or whoever it was on the side of the road. Who the hell…Natsuki pressed her palms up on the window, and just as they drove past whoever it was, Natsuki caught a glimpse of messy red hair, and a drunken stumble that nobody but one person could have.

With a jolt, she turned to Kaku and yelled, "Stop!" Kaku, startled, nearly lost control and slowed down. The car came to a halt abruptly, and the people occupying it turned and glared at Natsuki. Natsuki ignored them and kicked the back of Chie's chair, "Move!" Chie glared twice as hard, but did as she was told. She opened the door and flattened the seat for Natsuki to get out.

The blue haired girl dashed out of the car and made a run back down the street. Giving Yui a questioning look, Kaku told Chie to get back in before making an experienced u-turn and driving in Natsuki's direction.

By the time they arrived, they could see Natsuki holding up another person in her arms. When Kaku came to a halt on the other side of the road, she took a closer look, and her eyes were as wide as saucers. She jumped out of the driver's seat and went to help Natsuki. The other occupants watched nervously as the form of Kaku, Natsuki, and Midori?

Yui put a hand to her lips lightly and watched as they hauled a very drunk Midori to the car. Chie instantly moved and let the two teenagers load their teacher into the window seat at the back of the SUV. Natsuki climbed in to seat herself in the middle and turned to Midori, who was still mumbling something incoherent, all the while flailing her arms around in a speech like matter.

Kaku and Chie took their seats once more, and once everyone was in, they all turned to address Midori. Natsuki frowned and nudged Midori, "Oi, Midori-sensei…"

"What the hell?! Icomeeeeallthisssway tacomesheeeher, and she teelssmetogowhowm!" Midori pounded the mirror like a child, and Natsuki flattened her eyes at the sight.

"Midori-sensei, does Youko-sensei know where you are?"

"Wha? Youko?! HA! DonmakemelaughNassuki!" She groaned, "Noseriously…donmakemelaugghh…I'llblowchunks…." With that, Midori fell upon the mirror with a thunk, her snores echoing around the car. Everyone sighed, and Kaku started up the car before making yet another u-turn.

Natsuki pulled out her cell phone and dialed in a number after clicking her seat belt in, "Youko-sensei…" Nao watched as she made the call, "We have Midori…yeah, yeah…okay…so that's what happened." Natsuki sighed, "Sounds like her…okay, we'll take care of her. Yeah, no problem. She's lucky we found her…okay, see you at school then."

Natsuki shut the phone with a sigh and relayed the message, "Okay, so Midori went to see Youko. Youko told her to just go on home, because they needed her at school. And as usual, Midori blew things out of proportion and went out drinking."

Everyone sighed and shook their heads. Ten minutes into the car ride, Midori woke up from her extremely short lived nap. She was instantly in high spirits and she scared the living hell out of everyone in the car, including the two trying to ignore each other next to her, by saying, "Hey! Where's the music in this club?!" Natsuki winced at the volume of her over enthusiastic teacher and covered her ears.

"Midori, what the hell?"

"Natsuki? What are you doing here?!" She slung an arm around the girl's shoulder and poked her cheek before smiling slyly, "It's illegal for you to be in a club…"

After shoving Midori towards the window, Natsuki glared at her, "We're not in a club you moron, we're in a car."

Midori waved her off and scoffed, her drunken speech still there, but more understandable, "Car, club, change some letters and they mean the exact same thing."

Nao groaned at the answer while Chie, Aoi, Kaku, and Yui decided to leave Natsuki to the entire thing, "You are one wasted son of a,"

Nao never finished her sentence, because before she could react, Midori reached over Natsuki and pulled her into a hug, "Nao-chan! How nice of you to come see me!"

Trying to pry Midori off of her, Nao heaved, "Midori-sensei! Get off of me! Why do you always think I've come to see you?!" Midori nuzzled Nao like a kitten and kept blabbing on about how nice of a girl she was to come and see her.

Natsuki, uncomfortable both by having Midori basically laying on her, and having the woman molest Nao, heaved with all her might, and soon, Midori was seated at her seat again. The girl glared at her teacher and asked, "Midori! Keep your damn hands to yourself!"

Nao blushed at Natsuki's defense and crossed her arms across her chest; unsure to whom she was protecting herself from. Midori laughed devilishly and said slyly, "Why, Natsuki, am I touching something you don't want me to touch?" The teacher continued to poke the other girl's cheek.

After turning a nice shade of pink, Natsuki slapped the hand away and fumed, "No! I mean, yes! I mean, don't just go around touching people, okay?"

Sighing at Natsuki's response, Midori crossed her arms and pouted, "Ahh, you guys are all a bunch of old ladies. You're just like Youko!" She threw her arms up in exasperation, "Watch, you'll get wrinkles before you know it."

Natsuki sighed and ignored her teacher's drunken ramblings as the rest of the car listened on. Aoi raised her hand and Midori pointed at her, "Aoi! I haven't seen you in a long time!" Before the teacher could throw herself at her student, Chie stopped her.

With a frown, the girl gave her a warning glare before Midori sat back in her seat and laughed, "You guys are so boring! In a clingy relationship already?!" She addressed both the two next to her and the two in front of her, "That's so…so old!" The red haired teacher burst into laughter, knee slapping included. The four turned red and faced the opposite direction of their seated partners.

After wiping her eyes, Midori leaned on Natsuki's shoulder and the sly smile she wore made the girl worry, "So Natsuki, you've been using protection right?"

Natsuki growled at her teacher and pulled her by the collar as she laughed, "Shut the hell up Midori! I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"Ahhh, I'm soo scared!" Midori laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world, and Natsuki shook and yelled at the teacher like an angry old woman. The rest of the car watched in mild amusement until Kaku's voice called out to them.

"Hey, everyone, let's play a game."

Nao crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, "What game?"

Kaku smirked before pronouncing each syllable separately, "Truth. Or. Dare."

Everyone remained silent before Aoi scoffed and laughed, "Oh please, Kaku! That's so generic…" Everyone nodded in agreement, even the drunk Midori.

Kaku remained smiling and reasoned, "But it's still fun…am I wrong?"

No one could deny her, and so they all sat uncomfortably in their seats. The sound of the road passing by was all that could be heard until Chie shifted in her seat and pushed her glasses up, "So…Kaku…"

The girl at the driver's seat glanced up at her bifocal sporting friend with a raised eyebrow, "Yes?"

"Truth or Dare…" Everyone stared incredulously at Chie, except for Midori, who was continuing to have a swing of emotions, ranging from being bored, to acting like she had turrets.

Natsuki groaned, "You're not serious, are you?"

Kaku laughed and replied, "Hmm…I'm driving, so I doubt you'd want me doing a dare unless you want to die a horrible and bloody death, so truth."

Chie nodded and took her time before saying, "Third year, there was a rumor about you having…relations…with our History teacher, who I must add was a total babe, was that true?"

Everyone was actually on the edge of their seats. Had Kaku really participated in an illegal relationship with said hot history teacher? Kaku's smile widened and she glanced at Yui, who had the same amused look on her face. The girl turned back to the road before answering, "…yes."

Everyone stared at the girl wide eyed before Natsuki crossed her arms and smirked, despite herself, "She was hot…score…" They shared a mental high five. Natsuki yelped as she was whacked over the head. Nao growled in annoyance and glared at the girl.

"I thought men were pigs, but I guess you're an exception!"

"Hey! Jeez, what's wrong with you?! What does it matter what I think of other women anyways?!" As the two in the back traded blushes and insults, the game in the other half of the car continued.

Kaku looked up in the rear view mirror and her smirk returned, "Oi! Midori!"

The teacher looked up with a snort, "Ehh?"

"Truth or dare?"

"What the hell…I'm not playing your retarded ass game!" The instant mood change made the people in the car wince, except for Kaku that is.

Kaku only laughed and replied, "Okay! Dare it is then!" Kaku's eyes darted around. Luckily, a police car just happened to be driving near by. Kaku's eyes lit up and she voiced her dare, "Midori, I dare you to flash that police officer…"

Midori scoffed, "You're fucking retarded if you think I'll do-okay! I'll do it!" Everyone laughed nervously at Midori's mood change again. The red haired teacher undid her seat belt and pushed her way to the front, "Be prepared to drive while not being able to see…"

Kaku shrugged, "I've done worse things in my life."

Midori leaned over the amused Kaku and rolled the window down. The cop driving next to them instantly turned his head and they all witnessed his scrunched eyebrow. He made a motion to pull over, but Midori ignored him. Instead, she reached for the hem of her t-shirt and did as she was dared to. She flashed he officer, whooping like the local drunk college student she was/is. She waved her arms wildly and danced around over Kaku as the girl did her best to laugh, drive, and balance a wiggling Midori.

Those in the car glued their eyes to the left side windows and watched as the cop spilled his coffee, lose control of his car, mouth what appeared to be curse words, have a nosebleed, and crash into the side of the road all in one swift moment. The fading sirens wailed behind them, and Midori, proud of her actions, took her seat in the back again before crossing her arms and going on with the game as if she hadn't committed a public offence, "Okay. Yui!"

The girl who was called turned and smiled sweetly at her teacher, "Yes?"

Midori laughed and instead of slapping her own knee, slapped Natsuki's, who winced each time, "Don't gimme that smile, you minx!"

Yui turned her head to the side and lifted her eyebrows, "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."

Chie scoffed and added, "Yeah, Midori, what the hell? I think you've lost too many brain cells tonight."

The excited Midori scoffed, rolled her eyes, and waved off Chie's comment and leaned on said girl's back seat as she smiled and asked again, "Ok, Yui-chan, truth or dare?"

Yui mumbled quietly to her self, "I'd rather not accumulate a record at my young age sensei, so I choose truth."

Midori smiled slyly as she chose her words carefully, "Ok, what, is your dirtiest, foulest, and kinkiest sexual…fantasy?"

The whole car tensed up, and the two next to Midori turned bright red after slapping their foreheads. Aoi shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and Chie whistled an unknown tune as sweat dribbled down her head. Midori took a good look around her, "Oh Man! You guys are the horniest bunch of kids I've ever had the displeasure of teaching!" Midori laughed in her drunken manner, and it only made the blushing four feel even worse.

Yui kept her smile and took a quick peek at Kaku's bright grin before clearing her throat and answering loudly and clearly, "Since you didn't ask me to specify with who…my, as you put it, dirtiest, foulest, and kinkiest sexual fantasy includes my current…infatuation, the principal's office, a camcorder…and the entire Disney movie collection. The classics only, of course."

Kaku wondered aloud, "Hmmm, that reminds me…I have to go out and buy 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'…"

Everyone stared at the orange haired girl, some with a 'I don't wanna know what the hell that girl is thinking…' look, while she calmly thought and turned to Nao, "Nao-chan?"

Nao shook the disturbing images out of her mind and blushed as she answered, "W-What?"

Yui spared a glance at a suddenly even more nervous Natsuki and mentioned to Kaku, "Kaku, could you turn on some music?"

The blonde girl did as she was told, and soon, a familiar song played amongst them. Natsuki gulped and unconsciously pulled on the collar of her shirt after listening to the song.

I know that you've been waiting for it, I'm waiting too in my imagination I'd be all up on you, I know you got that fever for me hundred and two.

Natsuki cursed her luck and mentally swore. Of all the ridiculous songs to play on a radio station…She was visibly sweating, and all around the car, suspicious stares were being shared.

Midori, more attentive than when she wasn't drunk laughed and slapped Natsuki on the shoulder, "Hear that, Natsuki? Nao-chan doesn't want the video to end up on YouTube, so watch out!" Natsuki groaned at the line in the song and buried her face in her hands. Teasing or not, no one knew that the song almost transpired between Nao and herself earlier that night.

Nao wasn't faring so well herself. She instinctively closed her legs, and hunched up to the corner as she awaited Yui's question, "Y-You know I'm not obligated to answer your question or do your dare, right?" Nao huddled closer to herself and away from Natsuki as she addressed a still smiling Yui, the song continuing to make both her and Natsuki feel uncomfortable, "And tell Kaku to turn that shit off!"

Kaku frowned and replied, "But I like this song, Nao-chan…sorry, no can do." The other girl smiled. Nao grumbled to herself and glared at Natsuki, who was as pink as she was.

"Ara…who said I was going to ask you, Nao-chan?" Nao stared at the other girl incredulously as she shifted her attention from the red head to Chie, "Chie, truth or dare?"

Chie quickly turned her head towards Aoi and gulped. Hopefully, Yui would dare her to do what she thought she would, and so, the naïve Chie answered, "Dare."

Aoi yelped quietly, and she felt her heart beat quicken. Yui smiled at the declaration and looked on mischievously, "I dare you to…kiss…Natsuki."

Both girls yelled in shock, and Natsuki and Chie addressed the girl, "Hey wait a moment!" Yui giggled.

"Unless, it's your first kiss…and you want it to go to a special someone…"

Chie furiously blushed and shook her head, "N-no! That's not it! B-but Natsuki?!"

"Well, you two are good friends, right? Just pretend that you're friends with benefits for a second."

Midori, who was going through yet another mood change, was flicking away a booger when she suddenly scoffed, "Ehh, how nice…Youko wouldn't have kissed me…not even if someone paid her to…" Everyone turned to listen to the rambling teacher, who just couldn't control her emotions when she was drunk, "And then there was that rich guy, what was his name, Ohno, or something retarded like that, Oh no! It's Ohno! Che, I should've kicked his ass to the moon…and then there was her mother, god damn! That woman had one too many twinkies shoved up her ass…and then that skank of a sister, don't get me started!"

"Actually…we'd rather you didn't…"

She stopped and glared at them, "You have no idea how lucky you are, with your sexual innuendos and youthful flexibility!"

"Midori-sensei…you're only 25…"

"I know, and I'm not getting any younger! Look at me! I think I'm getting wrinkles!"

"Okay! We're over Midori having a mid life crisis, back to the game! So Chie," Nao smirked devilishly, all thoughts of a particularly blue headed girl leaving her mind for now, "Are you gonna kiss puppy over here or not?"

Natsuki soon lost all embarrassment, and the harassment came back, "At least I'm not some crazy sociopath who has no soul!"

"You're such an asshole! No, you know what? That's an insult to ass holes all over the world, you're just…you're a dick!"

"Thank you for calling me the male equivalent of our reproductive organs Nao, how creative of you!"

Nao growled in annoyance, and Natsuki matched with one of her own. Before either could react, Chie's lips came in contact with Natsuki's cheek, and the entire car went silent before Midori made it her job to be the most annoying person on board, "Laaaame! Come on guys! That was lame!"

Natsuki glared at Chie for doing such a thing, but the girl wouldn't even acknowledge her, instead, she quickly went on with her turn, "Nao-chan! Truth or dare?"

Too angry to care, Nao fumed at her friend, "I don't want to play!" and then chaos ensued.

"Party!"

"Does anyone know the name of this song?"

"I found it! I found it!"

"Ara…I can re-use this…"

"…yeah…we could…"

"Party!"

"Stop touching me!"

"I'm not touching you!"

"Oh look! Cows!"

"You know…we could really use that."

"Party!"

"Natsuki! I swear if you touch me one more time!"

"I'm not touching you!"

"…Midori!"

"Party!"

"Chie look! I found it!"

"Err, truth or dare?!"

"Midori stop touching me!"

"Midori stop touching her!"

"Party!"

"The only question is…how…we could use that?"

"Ara…how about like…this…"

"Natsuki!"

"Nao!"

"Chie!"

"Aoi?

"Ara…"

"Ooooh…"

"Party!"

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling…
