*Chapter 14: Homeward bound?*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
Touya cringed, "God, Aya, I thought I was free when I FINALLY broke Nakuru out of the habit. Let go will you?"
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
Wednesday came, and the ten students, along with the three heads, were being seen off by most of the island's population. Matsuki Ichiro had pulled out last minute and being next in line, Ryo was coming along.
On the plane, Aya had the window seat next to Aki, Hideki & Hideko behind them, Aoi & Ryo behind them, then Maaya & Rei, Taro & Eri and the three heads across the aisle from Aki and Aya.
Most of them slept, except for Aya who was typing away with her new laptop that Touya paid for. After a long flight, they FINALLY arrived in Singapore at night. In the tour coach as they made their way to Roxy Hotel, Aya asked Eriol, "Who're we exchanging with?"
"Dunman High School, I believe. But we're going there, they're not coming to Japan. It's sort of one-way."
She looked elated and glomped her brother, "We're going back!"
"What? Where? After the long flight? We have to go back to Japan? I don't think I'll be able to stand it."
"No silly. We're going back to DHS."
He grunted, and swatting her away, turned over and fell asleep. Aya decided to prey on Aoi.
"Hihihiz."
"What're you, hyper? Wait. Of course you're hyper. But haven't you heard of jetlag?"
"You guys all slept already. And I get to see my friends. All of them! They'll still be in Sec 2 and that means that none of them would've left. Isn't that great?"
"NO. Now leave me alone."
She scowled and went off to her seat and started hunting for something to do. But by the time she submitted into reading her manga AGAIN, they were at the hotel.
They made their way to the top floor, most of which they had booked. When they emerged from the lift, the three heads turned and said, "Now, for the room assignments. We'll let you choose, but mind you, we only want to see one boy-girl arrangement."
Hideko was the only one who spotted the glint in Maaya's eye and knew it meant pure suffering for Aoi. So, she cringed and put her arm around the girl to save her friend, "I'll take Maaya."
Sakura smiled at her and passed her a key, "Yours' is the first one on the left."
Before Maaya could protest, she was dragged off and shoved into a suite. The rest laughed and soon, the pairs were taken before anything else could happen. Rei took Eri, Hideki took Taro, Aki took Ryo, and finally, only Aoi and Aya were left staring blankly around them.
Eriol tossed the key towards his half-grandson (Sakura's his half daughter, remember?), "Fifth to the right."
They were settled into their suites soon enough, but unfortunately for Aoi and Aya, they had to share a room, since there was only one bedroom in the small suite.
They all trooped down to the restaurant for dinner before heading off to bed.
The next morning, they all met in the lobby after breakfast. Sakura clapped her hands together, "Everyone ready? Let's go."
They got into the bus and except for Aya, the girls began discussing guys. Aya personally began snorting away, remembering her many ex-schoolmates.
Rei's voice was heard rather distinctly, "Most of the guys are probably younger than me."
Maaya decided to heat things up a little, though her methods being a little childish, "I bet my outfit's more attractive than yours."
Today, all the guys had decided to go uniform, and all were in navy cargos that ended just below the knee and baggy white T-shirt with the school badge on it. The girls, however, were a little more creative. Hideko was in a VERY short pleated navy skirt and a white blouse, Eri a long-sleeved white turtle-neck, though now she was regretting it, considering the temperature outside, and navy slacks, Maaya in a white tube top, which personally the heads frowned upon, and a navy miniskirt, Rei in a sleeveless white blouse and a navy wraparound knee-length skirt and Aya in a white multi-strand spaghetti strap top and a navy ankle-length skirt.
Aya didn't have to wire herself this time. Her new MP3 player had a wireless earpiece that was transparent. Only a thin transparent wire connected the two earpieces and her hair hid that. While the principal made his speech, she told Aoi to poke her when anything involving her crops up.
(They change to Eng somewhere around here)
Soon after, she felt a sharp jab in her side and she walked up to the platform. As she shook hands with the comparably short man she smiled, "Good morning Mr Tan."
"You look familiar."
"Yeah. I just transferred to Japan earlier this year."
He nodded as she left the platform and the next one was called. The three heads made a speech, and once again Aya tuned off. When they were leaving, they followed Aya's old math teacher, who brought them around the GEP (Gifted Education Programme) classes. They stopped by the sec 2s first and while he informed the teacher about the situation, Aya hid beside the doorway, grinning, out of sight of the teacher, but making sure her friends could see her.
They started laughing and soon, the Japanese students were sitting with the class listening to geography about oil palm plantations. Aya and Aki picked their seats carefully, while the other eight at random, though Aya wouldn't let Ryo anywhere near the back of the class.
Staring to the front of the class and concentrating more on her music than Bokkie, as they called the teacher, she whispered, "Chibi onee-chan."
The short girl beside her glared hard as she could, "Baka imouto."
She smiled, "Imouto-CHAN. When will you EVER get that right? Besides, you're still short."
"Mean. What's short gotta do with imouto-chan, anyway?"
Aya grinned, "Absolutely nothing at all."
The lesson soon ended and Aya grabbed Ryo's arm with a vice-grip, "Come on. I wanna show you the class bunny."
"BUNNY?"
"Yes bunny."
"NONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!"
"Yes. Here he is, anyway."
The first thing he saw was that glinting pair of TEETH. He screamed and was on a table in no time flat while everyone else laughed their asses out. Aya told him, still gasping for breath, "Don't worry. It's just a guy with huge buckteeth. His name's Suigin, or quicksilver if you want. Just about all that's Jap about him is his name."
Ryo scowled at his friend, "Meanie."
Aya dismissed it with a "mouse" and went over to the girl she was talking to earlier, "Is it recess now?"
"Yeah. Today was combined geog."
"I noticed."
A bunch of other girls came over and one of them said, "The guys over there are pretty cool, huh? Lucky you."
Then another added, "Especially that blue-haired one."
"It's black. It's just so black it shines blue. And if you want to go after him, you'll have to fight it out with Maaya. Literally. She's got this huge crush on him."
Just then, the boy in question dashed over, hiding behind Aya, squeaking, "Help."
She put him in a headlock, "Maaya again?"
"She's a NIGHTMARE. Now she's trying to tell the others that I'm ENGAGED to her."
Aya chuckled, "Aw. Ain't that just so sad?"
A girl almost as tall and in equally good shape as Aya smirked, "OOOH~!! Aya went and got herself a BOYFRIEND."
"Al, seriously, I can't imagine ANYONE who'd want to be Aoi's girlfriend."
"What about that girl?"
"She's a bit off. So off she tried to pull me of h...my seat once."
The short one winced, "Ouch. What happened?"
She smiled her evil smile, "Well, Mizuryu, shouldn't you know that already?"
Aoi asked, "Mizuryu? Will this place EVER run out of Japanese?"
The girl laughed, "Nah. It's just a nick. My name's Yang Shui Long. And what EXACTLY did you do to her?"
Aya grinned, "Her nose was quite bloody, if I remember right."
They trooped off to recess and they passed a short teacher, who asked, "Are these the Japanese students?"
One of the group said, "Yah."
Aya smiled, "Hi Mr Ken."
"Hi. You look familiar."
"Mr Tan said that too. I was in 2L and I transferred out in June."
"To Japan?"
"Hai."
They started a long conversation in very FAST Japanese and Shui Long told Aki, "They must be REALLY fast teachers. She never could speak this fast."
"You didn't know? She could speak this fast since who knows when."
"She never told me. What're they talking about?"
"Food."
Sweatdrop.
The rest of the day was somewhat uneventful and soon they were back at the hotel.
Aya was hanging upside down off the back of the couch, "I'm bored."
"So?"
Then she dropped off, "Ow..."
"You alright?"
"No. I've got a friggin bump on my head."
She dashed over to the phone and quickly dialled a number, "Hello? May I speak to Shui Long?"
Pause.
"Hi, it's Aya. I'm calling from the hotel. Wanna come over for dinner?"
Pause again.
"Don't worry. My treat."
Pause.
"'K then. See you in the lobby in half an hour."
Aoi stared at her, "You mad? We're not the ones paying for the room service and the food."
"The restaurant food is free for us. Worse comes to worst, we'll pop on down and go to Parkway."
"Fine. Whatever you say."
Aya took a quick shower and emerged in the same outfit as when she fought the last round of the Fight.
"Didn't you wear that already?"
"So?"
"I've never seen any girl at all on the island re-wear their clothes."
"There's a first time for everything. Now, if you will excuse me."
She left the room and made her way to the lift.
Aoi was feeling rather pleased with himself, tossing a shaker through the air a last time before he could savour his cocktail. Then, disaster struck. The click in the lock distracted him for the slightest moment and the shaker cam crashing to the floor, creating one big mess on the floor.
The two girls in the doorway stared for a moment and began laughing. Aoi scowled at them, "Shut up will you?"
Aya told the shorter girl, "Change of plan. I'll get some cash and we can walk around outside while the poor little boy tides up here."
"Aren't you gonna help? S'your fault, you know. "
"Aoi dearest, no one asked you to start making one part sake two part Sprite concoctions while I was away. T'rah. And take a bath. I'm not sleeping in a room that smells like sake and Sprite tonight."
They left the suite and Shui Long asked, "I thought the bedrooms were separate."
"BedROOM. Unfortunately, I've got to share with that monstrosity. Thank god there are separate beds."
An evil glint crossed Shui Long's eye, "Or SOMETHING might happen, eh?"
"Shut. The. Flying. F***. Up."
"Fine. You're the one paying for my meal, anyway."
They left to take a trip across the road to Parkway, to visit a very familiar VCD shop. Aya dashed straight in, heading for the tiny shelf dedicated to anime and extended her collection quite a bit with Saiyuki Requiem, Saiyuki, Boys Be, the Love Hina sketchbook, the Sakura Taisen movie and Cowboy Bebop the movie - Knocking On Heaven's Door.
Two hundred grams of no nut chocolate chip from Famous Amos later, they were back in the hotel and the two girls trooped into the bedroom to put away Aya's new VCDs. Inside, they found a snoring Aoi sleeping face down on his bed without even bothering about the blanket. Aya shook her head and after putting everything away as noisily as she could manage, she found the boy STILL snoring, much to her friend's amusement.
An evil grin swept across her face and she raised her two index fingers positioning them next to his sides, "On three."
Together, "THREE!" and she jabbed him as hard as she could manage. An unearthly yell filled the area and he fell onto the floor. He rubbed his back, "Ow... What d'you do that for?"
Then he noticed the two giggling girls in front of him and remembered that he hadn't quite bothered about his T-shirt and flushed. Aya, still grinning, shook her head and flung the first of his T-shirts she could grab into his face, "Get some clothes on. We're going to take a walk down the road to Five Star Chicken Rice. It's been there since my parents' time and it's quite good."
He pulled it on and got up, following the two very amused girls out the door. After dinner, Shui Long went home and Aya & Aoi went back to the hotel. They took turns with the bathroom and in no time at all, were both fast asleep under the covers.
Done. There. To all my friends reading this, here's your appearance. Of course, only three made it, but I didn't want to offend anyone TOO much, so *shrugseez*. And the two miscellaneous girls are none of you peeps, so relax. R+R!
