A/N: Long time no see, guys. Sorry for the delay. I was busy, then I was exhausted, and then I had no motivation...I mean, c'mon. I have three reviews and two favs, and I will surely update, just for the two of them, just for me, but with that amount...there might be huuuge delays again. That's the way it is, boys (and girls).
Enough chit-chat. I have the next two chapters ready, but not typed, so they will be uploaded soon. I have a good ol' bottle of Bitburger next to me, that sure helps. Check out Hectic from DJ Shimamura. Is this advertising? Is this against the rules? If this is so, tell me about it. I will remove immediately. See you later.
In the evening..."Time for another barbecue!" "But please without alcohol this time...", moaned Yuuko. "Well..." Akira lifted a blanket. "Please tell me these kegs are full of cola." "Cola for adults." "Don't we have something else?" "Water. Right there." "There's the ocean! You can't drink that! Or at least it's too salty! Gimme a beer..."
They sure had a lot of booze lying around, and they lit a big barbecue stuffed with meat and all the other fancy things. "This is so tasty!" A delicious smell was covering everything. "First dishes are ready!" Yuuji was on duty. "Yuuji, you're really good at this! But I'd really like to eat some of Mizukis food too...I'm a little upset that it's gone..." "Yeah, too bad that it vanished..." "Vanished, yeah right..." 'We can't tell them that we threw it away.', thought the boys.
"Anyway, let's just party all night!", yelled Aiko. "Yeah!" Everyone had his cup full of beer and started drinking. "This is sooo good!" "Yes...but the fifth and last keg is empty..." "The fuck?! We had five?!" "Yes, we had. But don't worry, we still have liquor!" "Liquor? Why are we drinking so much in this story?" "I don't know...pour me some!"
The more they drank, the happier they were. "Let us have some fun!", said Hideyoshi. "How?" "Serious talks!" "That...doesn't sound fun at all.", complained Akihisa. "Oh, for the most of us it is." Himeji smiled dangerously. "This'll be so embarrassing...", said Yuuko. "Well, stop complaining, we'll start with you now!", yelled Minami. "M-me?" "Yeah, you said you're in love, right?" "W-well, yes, but..." "Eh-eh. No 'buts'. Who is it?" "I can't say you that!" "Why? Is he among us?" "I...I..." "Or is he even a boy?" "Aiko, stop asking me such nonsense!" "Well, sis, you might give us a few hints!" "I'll do so...if you tell us first, Hideyoshi!" "Huh? Me? Am I in love?" "You should know that the best!" "Oh, right. Anyway, I'm still waiting for someone...but I do not know for whom I am waiting...maybe I want to be...seduced?" He looked seductively at the girls.
"Now tell us, Yuuko!" "O-okay...it's a boy...beautiful. Gentle. Still without a girlfriend. Not the smartest. But it's his character...he's just so...cute and nice and happy, and his smile is so awesome!" She blushed, as she realized how she spoke. "I mean...erh...he is a special one to me. Enough hints." She coughed. Akihisa looked at Hideyoshi. "Who could that be?" "I do not know, Akihisa..." 'But everyone else does.', thought Yuuji. Akira waved at Yuuko. "You have my support in this, Yuuko!" "...I think that's...admirable...thanks..." "Ah-hah, I know who it is!", said Aiko. "And I think your crush is really interested in this matter." She smiled devilish. "Aaand it's..." "Don't you dare!", yelled Yuuko; nobody had seen her this angry before. "If you tell it, I'll...I'll..." She stopped speaking and started to cry.
"Sister!" Hideyoshi hugged her. "Aiko! That's not okay! Stop with that shit and apologize. Now." Aiko looked stunned at Hideyoshi. He seemed to be a demon crawling right out of hell, full of anger and wrath. "I won't wait any longer. Apologize now or you'll regret saying that.", said Hideyoshi with a stern voice. "Eh...eh...s-sorry, Yuuko, I didn't mean to..." "You did.", interrupted Hideyoshi Aiko. "But I think sis will forgive you." Then he loosened up, smiling. "And now let's continue!" "How can you change moods so fast?", asked Shouko confused. "It's because I am in drama club. And besides to that I am here with all my special and beautiful friends, I can't be sad!" "Beautiful?" "Of course! You all are beautiful, you're intelligent, the fairest girls I know!" "You're exaggerating...t-that's just in the outside..." "Then show me the inside! I'd really like...to know you better..." He blushed a little an turned around, causing the others to blush too. "And I think it's good to be beautiful, but in the end just the character matters. I long for someone who loves me for the person I am, who comforts me, who helps me, and if I find this person, I will fight for her and make her mine, regardless of her age, looks, race or gender!" Everyone was stunned by this. "Whomever he loves...", whispered Yuuko.
Minami had her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep. She was thinking, she just couldn't stop thinking...Aki! This stupid Aki! With his stupidity and his behavior he attracted Minami; she just couldn't forget what he said to her months ago. But no matter what she did, it was always Mizuki who got the attention, the hugs. But there was also Hideyoshi...she smiled a little. He was always happy, gentle, listening to her worries, cheering her up...she liked that. Of course. And this strange feeling she got when he gazed at her with this...aura...her heart skipped a beat.
Aimlessly she walked down the coastline, hoping to calm down a little, trying to clear her mind, when she smelled something weird. In the sand sat someone, staring at the horizon, or rather the sea and the reflection of the nightly sky. "Minami?" "E-eh?" It was Hideyoshi; he was smoking. "What are you doing here, Minami?" "Calming down.", she sighed. "And you?" "Oh, I am...enjoying the beach...yeah, let's put it that way. Come on, sit down!" Minami sat down next to him. "Hideyoshi, I've thought a lot, and I have finally come to a conclusion...I'll return to Germany." "Oh." "Yeah." Silence. Awkward silence.
Hideyoshi was the first to talk. "I guess you will not reconsider?" "Not really, no. I don't have a reason for to do so." "And what if I give you one?" He had this aura again. "And how?" "Maybe...like this?" Thus said, Hideyoshi leaned over to Minami and kissed her.
