Disclaimer: I just started school yesterday. Bummer. A new anime mag juz came out here in Singapore called M.A.G.E. I missed the first issue, because I forgot, so I had to start with the second. Bum. Ah well, anyone in S'pore who doesn't mind giving up their first issue, GIMME!! WAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I still can't believe I missed that huge article on Saiyuki and that huge pic of Gojyo. *starts daydreaming and is subconsciously drooling* Ah well. The usual, you know. I'm not gonna bother. And don't you think Saiyuki has the best OST EVER??!! (Say yes or I'll hunt you down and slit your throat ear to ear)

SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE TO GET SAIYUKI VCDS GODAMMIT!!!

(Hahaz. I'm actually starting to write this 23 days after the day after I started school. Well, don't blame me! I had writer's block. All I could think of was the sequel. My ex-classmate [now he's in the next class] was in the same situation. BTW, go read his fic. Damn funny. His username is Burnout. He only has one fic, so don't worry about not knowing which one it is)

Camp times two

*Chapter 20: Camp two, Day ten*

~*~ Flashback ~*~

Tara and Xi Ling then looked to each other, with wicked grins on their faces. They crawled up to the foot of the bed and looked over at the two, who were still staring dumbfounded back at them.

Gradually, they convinced them to do it, the rest of the gang came by and everyone drifted off to their beds to sleep.

~*~ End Flashback ~*~

Lara and Xi Lang sat on the special benches set up to separate participants & spectators (the diving is last and everyone had already gone for their event, and after the event, went to watch in the spectator's benches) and were STILL sulking, it wasn't THEIR fault they were told to guard their siblings, neither was it THEIR fault that they were also the best swimmers in the group. Tomoyo, to make it worse, had stuffed them into dark blue Speedos, Lara in a cross/bare-back that she detested half to death (this is quite something, considering her swimsuit is an inanimate object).

Suddenly, their heads jerked up; they felt an aura, a black aura, probing their minds. They both shut it out as quickly as they could, but it was too late. Tenji Sugimori had found out what their dive was. They looked over to where Cabin 5 was, and saw Tenji whispering to Chidori. "Shit. They got our dive. I can safely bet my life they're gonna use it." Lara said, as Xi Lang cursed and swore under his breath, "Which is why we need a new one."

Finished with his cursing and swearing, Xi Lang said, "Leave that to me. I tell you after they're done with their dive."

Cabin 1 went, then 2, 3, 4, and 5. True enough, Tenji and Chidori had used their dive. As they walked to the diving board, Xi Lang gave Lara a mental image of their dive. She saw it and laughed, "Man, we are gonna whoop their friggin asses!"

They climbed and climbed to the top board, and stepped up to the edge, side by side, their backs facing to pool, Xi Lang to Lara's left. They jumped, and they twisted. Xi Lang looked next to him to see how Lara was doing, and sensed the black aura interfere with hers. As they dropped, Lara began to black out and Xi Lang muttered a spell under his breath, forcing Tenji's aura out with his own. Lara, recovered full consciousness, and as if nothing had happened, they spun and they spun as they fell, as if there were a whirlwind right in the middle of the pool. When they entered the water, the whirlwind became a whirlpool that tailed them all the way till they surfaced. They watched the applause, still in the water, grinning like there was no tomorrow.

They swam to the edge where Xi Ling and a limping Tara met them with towels.

Soon, the results were out and it was time to give away the prizes. Kara had won the 50m freestyle, Sakura the 100m freestyle, Some other cabin the 50m breaststroke, much to Meiling's very GREAT disappointment, Syaoran the 100m breaststroke, some other cabin the 50m butterfly, Tomoyo the 100m butterfly, Cabin 6 the relay, and obviously, Cabin 6 the dive. Cabin 6 also walked away with the most prizes won, and when they all walked up to receive the prize, they found their two divers missing. They looked high and low, but couldn't find them. They had even covered their auras.

*To where Xi Lang and Lara are*

"They're really stupid you know. You'd think they'd be sharper." Lara smirked.

"Ha. I hate prize presentations," He imitated random celebrities at awards, "Oh boohoo. I think I'm gonna cry. I'd like to thank my dog for peeing all over me and waking me up so that I wasn't late for the recording."

Lara laughed and then said, "By the way, thanks."

"For what?"

"You helped me back there."

"Oh. That. But how'd you know? You were out."

"You THOUGHT I was out. I felt your aura. Thanks. By the way, want some ice cream out my secret stash? I snuck it in."

"Chocolate?"

She grinned at him, "Yup."

"YOU LEAVE ME OUT ON THAT AND YOU'LL FIND ME PLAYING SOCCER WITH YOUR HEAD!!!"

She laughed and started out into a sprint, "Race you to the cabin!"

*Later*

They returned to the cabin, and saw their two missing divers asleep on the couch, Xi Lang curled up, using the armrest for a pillow and Lara stretched out, using HIM for a pillow with her legs dangling off the other armrest. On the coffee table, were two empty messy bowls and a few very LARGE cartons of Swenson's chocolate ice cream. Most looked at each other and smiled, but Kara and Xi Long collapsed to their knees, Kara screaming, "NOOOOOOO~!! NOT THEM TOO!!!" and Xi Long, "NOOOOOOO~!! THEY HAD CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITHOUT US!!!"

Kara shot him a killer glare and he said, sheepishly, "Uh, and that too."

WEEE~!! FOUR MORE COUPLES TO GO!!! Guess WHO~!!! Hehez. Sorry for the delay. Writer's block. Anyway, till next time...Ja ne!
