::~ Sorry I've been away for a while, I've been working on my other stories. But I'm back, with another chapter from Notebook 2!

Sea and Riku were at the gym, playing tennis. Both girls took sports seriously, and they didn't want anyone interrupting them. Sea saw Saehara approach them from the corner of her eye. " What ever it is, Saehara, the answer is no." Riku said, hitting the ball over the net.

" Man!" Saehara said, complaining. Sea laughed, just as she scores another point. " I believe I win" she said, taunting Riku. " I believe your right." Riku said, giggling. Suddenly, the school alarm sounded, as well as a announcement.

" Attention. All students in the high honors class will be allowed to attend a once in a life-time cruise, around the carribean." said the announcer. Sea raised an eyebrow. She was in the high honors class. Some students began to shout in joy, while others groaned.

" Silence! On June 7th to June 24th, students will be able to attend the cruise, and there will also be the Crystal Ball, on June 10th. That is all. Please visit the main office for more information."

Students began to shout in joy.

When the gang finds each other in the hall, they all start to yell at once. Everyone was talking at the same time, either speaking positively about the trip, or negatively, like Risa.

" Enough, one at a time!" Sea yells, louder than the rest of them so they could hear her. They are all immediately shushed. " It's not fair, why can't it be a C+ average and over?" Risa complained.

" Even if that happened, you still wouldn't be able to go!" Riku said. " Niwa, your grades are a B+ average, right?" Sea asked, wondering if her cousin could go.

" Ever since you and Riku make me do my homework, I've gotten A's" he said, a bit modestly.

" Wow, congratulations Niwa, I didn't know you had it in you!" said Hiwatari. Niwa blushed at the attention.

" That's not fair! Me and Saehara are the ones staying behind?" Risa complained. Riku tried to console her. " Don't worry, at least you have the house to yourself." Riku said. Risa said that it was true.

" Aw, let's go home already! I want to start getting ready!" Sea said, impatiently. Everyone agreed, and went their seperate ways.

Riku entered the boat, her eyes wide. " Whoa, this is great!" said Sea, when she saw how luxurious the boat was. Hiwatari walked up beside her in a dark gray shirt and lighter gray pants. " Like it?" he asked. " Of course." she snapped, thinking that he just asked her that to annoy her. Sea looked around for her cousin. " Wait a minute, where's Daisuke?" she asked. Her red headed cousin was no where in sight.

" Over here!" she heard him yell. She saw him near a smoothie stand. Riku ran over to him, as Sea stared over the side of the boat. She read the boats name. Hiwatari was staring at the docks, as the boat pulled away. " What is -" she said, as she turned around to talk to Hiwatari. " Sea." he said, to acknowledge that she was there.

" This is your cruiseship isn't it! On the side it says the S.S Light!" she said, accusing him. Hiwatari looked repentful. " I wanted the school to have a treat. And-"

Stop him.

Misa said, in Sea's mind. " Don't say it. I already said your forgiven. It wasn't your fault you acted that way-" she said. Hiwatari raised an eyebrow. " That's right, I forgot. Misa can read minds, can't she?" HIwatari said. Sea nodded. The wind was blowing her long hair over her eyes, making it hard for her to see him. She had a loose white tank top, with purple pants on, complete with black boots, her signature style. Daisuke saw her scowling and brought her a banana smoothie as a peace offering. She took it, and walked away without a word. Daisuke chastised his best friend.

" No more games, Hiwatari. I want Sea to enjoy the cruise." he said. Hiwatari nodded in agreement. " So do I. She's just angry because I'm right." he said. Hiwatari sighed as he saw Sea lean over the railing and stare at the ocean. He not only wanted her to enjoy the cruise, He wanted her to forgive him.

Sea loved the cruise, and she had only been there for an hour. She was in her cabin, jumping on her sapphire bed. She had her favorite song on full blast, and was loving every minute of it. She heard a knock on her door, and jumped off the bed, opening it. " Do you mind lowering your volume?" said a guy with black hair and redish eyes. Sea nodded, smirking. She closed the door, and put the music up higher.

The guy in the hallway just sighed. Master Kei Hiwatari had ordered him to keep an eye on the girl. He was sure the job was going to be easy. If a certain Satoshi didn't meddle. Satoshi turned the corner that instant, and registerd the guy standing outside Sea's door.

" What's going on?" Hiwatari asked, suspiciously. " The chick in there doesn't want to turn down the music." said the guy lamely. Hiwatari told him to go away, that he would handle her. The guy obeyed. Hiwatari walked in to Sea's room, and immediately was yelled at. " Get out of my room!" she yelled. Hiwatari raised an eyebrow.

" I own this place, so it's my room, remember?" he said, smugly. Sea threw a pillow at him. " Get out!" she yelled over the music. Hiwatari crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame. " Actually, I prefer to stay." he said. Sea blushed, because even she had to admit, he looked extremely hot in that pose. She quickly covered her feelings and put on a mask of extreme boredom.

" Then I guess you'll have to see me undress then, because I was just about to change in order to go outside." His reaction was priceless. He blushed so bad that he had to run out of the room and close the door behind him. " This isn't over!" he yelled, through the door. The last thing he heard as he ran down the hall was Sea giggling.

Sea and Riku were both walking around the cruise ship, getting familiar with their surroundings. Hiwatari and Daisuke were sitting at a nearby table, watching the girls argue with a bartender that wanted them to pay more than was due. " I swear I'll make you lose a very important organ!" They heard Sea yell, " Oh, that's gotta hurt." Daisuke said, when he saw Riku pour her smoothie over the guy's head. Sea then said something that made him cry. Hiwatari marveled at the ablility that Sea had to make people fall to their feet. If it wasn't for his pride, he thought that he would have been her personal slave. The girls walked back over to them, and Hiwatari had to act uninterested again. " Ready to go to the ball?" Sea asked.

::~

Okay. She knew he hated her, but he really was the only other person on this boat that she knew. Sea took a deep breath and knocked on his door. A few seconds later, the door opened, and Hiwatari stood in front of her, with a confused expression. " Yes?" he asked, impatiently. " Um, would you go to the ball with me?" she asked meekly. Hiwatari grinned. " I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked, teasing her. She rolled her eyes. So he was going with her after all.

Sea and Riku were in Riku's room, getting ready. Their dresses were lain out on the bed, and Riku was helping Sea braid diamonds in her hair, when they heard a knock. " Is everyone dressed?" Daisuke asked, from the door. Sea said yes and allowed them in. The double take Hiwatari did when he saw her was also priceless.

Sea started to complain when she was only able to get a few diamonds in her hair and the rest of them kept falling off. All of the sudden, Riku started giggling. Sea turned around to face her, her hands on her hips. " What?" she asked. The boys also looked at Riku curiously. After a fit of giggles, Riku was able to speak. " Gosh Sea, you look like your getting ready for your wedding!" she said. Sea instantly blushed. " Am not!" she protested. Soon enough, the girls kicked the boys out of the room so they could change. Sea put on a dark gree blue dress, that hugged her curves perfectly. Riku wore a deep red dress, that was tight at the waist, but then puffed out.

::~

He had his arms around her waist. God, he never knew that would happen. She looked absolutely stunning in her dress, not that he would ever let her know. They were gliding on the dance floor, swaying to the music. He was a good dancer, she noted. " I didn't think you'd wear a tux." she said, attempting to start conversation. He looked down to get lost in her eyes.

" Is that a compliment or an insult?" he asked, his voice sweet and low. She simply chuckled and didn't respond. When he twirled her, he said " Right now you would be stealing." She looked up at him, and said, " Right now, I have something more important to do." He blushed, but she broke away from his hold, and made her way over to the ship's railing.

" What, now your going to kill yourself?" he said, as he saw her step up and stand on the top railing. " No, I just want to go for a quick swim." she said, giggling. Something wasn't right, Hiwatari thought. He saw that her eyes were dialated. Someone drugged her! He made an attempt to grab her. She simply kicked his hand away, and jumped. He felt his heart stop.

" NO!" he yelled, as he grabbed two life jackets and jumped after her. The wind blew quickly, and the sea wasn't as calm as it had been an hour ago. The cruiseship sailed away, completely unaware that two of it's passengers were missing.

Hiwatari pulled an unconscious Sea out of the water. The last thing he saw before he passed out was the boat leaving them behind.
