(Night 2, Day 3) Plans

"So who's going to wake up Rukawa?" Ryota asked.

"How hard is that? I'll wake him!" Kiyota said cracking his knuckles.

"Don't punch him," Jin warned.

Kiyota grinned evilly, "Oh, it won't be don't worry."

"…"

Kiyota went over and gave his stomach a soft kick. Rukawa returned with a hard punch to his face, before turning around. Kiyota grabbed his face, he had a bleeding nose, "What the %!$#@!"

"I know!" Yuji said and ran off, coming back with a bowl of water.

Unfortunately he tripped and splash the water all over Hanamichi.

"…"

"I'm going to kill you!" Hanamichi said and gave chase.

"What's up? What's so interesting that you guys formed a circle to watch?"

"Your freak-show, violent, idiotic, …" Kiyota began and continued for 2 minutes before coming to and end with, "…, brother!"

"Yeah, we're not having luck waking him," Jin added.

"Kissing him should work. Like sleeping beauty right? Ok, he's not exactly sleep beauty but it should shock him awake," Miyuki said with a grin, "so who wants to give it a try?"

Everyone looked at her and began backing away.

She laughed, "Fine, plan 2."

She ran off and came back with a jar and spoon, and nudged him so he turned back over, "Take notes."

"Hai-hai!" Hikoichi said his pencil poised.

"…"

"Get his attention away from hitting you when he wakes up," she said and jammed the spoon full of red stuff into his mouth and backed away.

2 seconds later Rukawa sat up and began coughing.

"Hot sauce usually works really well," she said, "so lets go and eat."

.

Rika frowned, 'Why are these people so loud and noisy? Can't they be civil and not yell or talk with their mouths full?'

"Rika-san, where's Sendoh-sempai?"

She eyed Miyuki and said loudly, "With a girl, he's very interested in."

Miyuki showed no reaction and continued picking out green onions from her food and into Rukawa's bowl.

"Really? Where?" the guntai and Hikoichi asked.

"Probably in some deserted corner."

.

Sendoh watch Naomi laugh, she has a very seductive laugh, that was deep and rich.

"Akira you're one of the cutest guys I've ever met. I'm so glad I came here and met you."

"Not as glad as I am to meet you," he said.

"Anou, you got some tomato sauce on the corner of you lip…" she said and picked up her napkin, "let me help you get it."

She reached over and began dabbing the corner of his lip, he took that opportunity to reach over and put his hand behind her neck and leaned forward as she closed her eyes in anticipation.

"Oi, Sendoh!"

Naomi jerked back.

'Come on, what the…there is a conspiracy against me,' he thought and forced a smile, 'first Miyuki and now these guys.'

"So Sendoh, why don't you introduce us to your girlfriend?"

"This is Takasuka Naomi. These are Aida Hikoichi, Hakami Anozumi, Ookuzu Yuji, and Omachu Sauichiro."

"Anou, Takasuka-san, how old are you? What school do you go to? Do you like basketball?" Hikoichi asked.

"Um…I'm 19, I got to Kyoto University, and basketball's…ok."

"You're 19..." Yuji repeated.

"You go to Kyoto University?" Hikoichi said.

"What are you doing with Sendoh then?!" Sauichiro asked.

'Oh, crap.'

"I know he lives in Kanagawa but it's really not that far and…"

"Great! That means you can tutor Sendoh-sempai. He needs hel-"

Sendoh elbowed Hikoichi and said innocently, "Ooopsie, I'm so sorry Hiko-kun. Are you ok?"

"Don't worry Sendoh-sempai. I'm fine…"

"You need tutoring? I don't know how good I'll be at it, since I'm majoring in business and you're taking general science, right?"

"You plan to take science? You didn't tell me that," Hikoichi said and began jotting down some notes.

"Plan?" Naomi asked.

'You blabber mouth!'

"Well, duh! He's in gr. 11," Anozumi said with a grin.

"You're in gr. 11!?" she demanded.

He could see the Sakuragi's guntai grinning and Hikoichi looking at him intensely with is pen poised and ready.

.

Miyuki frowned kneeling in front of the bucket, 'Why isn't the gas coming out of that snowmobile and into the bucket?'

She got the perfect plan to force some alone time on Kaede and Rika.

A person appeared beside her, "What are you looking at? Are you trying to siphon gas?"

She was so shock she fell backwards, "Youhei…"

"You're suppose to suck on it, to get it flowing, you know?"

.

Miyuki made a face, "But what if you accidentally drink some?"

"Well, if you practise enough it won't happen," he said, "you want me to help you?"

She smiled, "Would you?"

He decided she has a very dazzling smile, "Sure."

He never actually siphoned gas before but seen it done tons of times on t.v. He sucked a bit too hard and quickly spat it out, as he put the hose into the bucket, 'Well, at least it's flowing.'

"Are you ok?" she asked worriedly.

He smiled, "Fine. So why are you siphoning gas?"

"…" she looked worried but continue to smile, "you won't tell anyone will you?"

'No. But I would like to know why,' he thought and said, "That depends…"

.

She decided to use a trick that always works on her oniisan and otousan. She grabbed his sleeve and began tugging on it, while giving him these big, puppy dog eyes, "Please, Youhei-kun…"

He looked extremely amused and said thoughtfully, "Well…ok, I won't tell anyone if you promise to be my servant to a day."

'Servant? Oh, crap. Looks like this guy is an opportunist like me too. This is terrible, and even worst if he actually tattles on me and ruin my plans,' she sighed, "I guess-"

"Youhei, what are you doing? Why are you siphoning gas?"

She turned, 'Sendoh!'

"I wasn't. It wasn't my idea," Youhei protested.

"It's illegal," Sendoh said shaking his head.

Miyuki could see the sparkle of delight in Sendoh's eyes. She could tell he knew and was enjoying this. Much like Youhei a minute again, 'How the tables have turned.'

"It wasn't. Ask Yuki."

"Don't drag her into this. It's obvious what happened. She was trying to prevent you from stealing gas. You're just asking her to cover up for you," Sendoh said tsking.

Miyuki was having a hard time not laughing. She bit her tongue.

.

Sendoh saw everything, he decided to help Miyuki for 2 reasons: 1. He needed her help, 2. Youhei was part of the Sakuragi guntai, that made Naomi storm out. Worst was how they started celebrating his rejection.

"Akira-kun, I think you should forgive Youhei. I'm sure a hot, kind, sweet, smart, well-mannered, lady-like girl asked him this little favor and he couldn't refuse such a divine creature and did it without thinking of the consequence," Miyuki said with a grin, "right, Youhei?"

Sendoh smirked, 'Way to praise yourself. Lady-like? Divine?'

Youhei looked at her in disbelief and then nodded, "Yeah, she's also very sly, and egotistic."

She eyes flashed Youhei this warning look and said, "Akira, let him go just this once."

He looked at Youhei, "Well, ok. But you got to be my servant for a day."

Miyuki began snickering.

"You know-"

Sendoh cut him, "Yes, I know you did it. I saw the whole thing. So what do you say, Mitoi-kun?"

.

"Rika-chan, you can't go to sleep so early," Kiyota whined.

"I'm tired," she muttered.

"P.C, I need to talk to you."

"UGH! Stop calling me that!" she growled but followed him neither the less.

"Rika-chan, you can't follow him. Why are you listening to that phoney, second-seed, kitsune?" Kiyota whined.

She sighed.

Rukawa stopped and eyed Kiyota who also stopped. He took a step, Kiyota took a step. This walking and halting proceeded for a couple of minutes.

Rika sighed, 'Why are they so stupid?'

She opened the door to her room, pulled Rukawa in and locked the door. She could hear Kiyota yelling outside.

"What is it and make it snappy. I don't have all night."

.

"I can't believe you're that evil," Miyuki said and eyed his hair, "were you at a New Years party or something? Cause you got confetti and silly string in your hair."

"I help you and you call me evil? Way to show you're grateful. Anyways I need your help to get this girl back."

"Oh? You need my help, eh? That's gonna cost you. I thought you were a lady's man. You so disappointment me. By the way you still haven't explained the confetti and silly string."

.

The guntai were throwing confetti and blowing into their noise makers, "Congratulations! So how many girls have you been dumped by?"

Kiyota glared at them.

"What?" they asked pulling out a huge sign that read: Congratulations! You've been dumped by __ girls!

"We just wanted to fill in the number."

"What? Wild Monkey got dumped?! Nyahahahahaha."

"Shut up, you redheaded ape! What are you laughing at? Haruko's going to dump you for Rukawa too!"

"Teme?!"

"Oh? Both Rika-san and Haruko-san like Rukawa-san? Then you 2 have the same enemy," Hikoichi said jotting down some notes and asked absentmindedly, "why don't you 2 work together then?"

They exchanged looks.

"What do you say Wild Monkey?"

"Don't call me that Redheaded Ape. But I agree," he said holding out a hand, "truce?"

"Truce," Hanamichi agreed, shaking his hand.

The guntai began chatting among themselves and finally said, "Place your bets! Place your bets! Monkeys vs. Kitsune! Who will win?!"

.

"So remember the schedule," Miyuki said, "what's the commotion?"

"Who are you calling monkeys?!" Kiyota and Hanamichi yelled.

"What's going on?" Sendoh asked as an annoyed Youhei glared at him.

"A bet. Monkeys vs. Kitsune. Ratio for bets are: holding hands 1-1, kissing 3-1, more 10-1," Anozumi said.

"Ok, so that's the categories and bet ratio but what does monkeys vs. kitsune mean?" Miyuki asked.

"Who will win Rika-san and Haruko-san. Rukawa-san or Hanamichi-san and Kiyota-san" Hikoichi said, "Sakuragi-san and Kiyota-san decided to team up to work against Rukawa-san. As the matter of fact Rika-san and Rukawa-san are in the room right now."

"Well in that case," Miyuki said taking out her wallet and pulled out five 1000 yen bills, "5000 yen that Hana-kun and Haruko-chan will have held hands at the end of this trip."

"Nyahahaha," Hanamichi said, "you are very wise to bet on me!"

"Of course. You are a tensai."

"5000 yen that Rukawa and my sister will be holding hands but the end of this trip," Sendoh said putting down his money, "actually…they might be in there having sex right now."

Silence, "…"

"What?" Sendoh asked innocently, "it just a thought."

"Rika-chan is not like that!!!" Kiyota yelled.

.

"So what do you plan to do?" Rika asked.

"Introduce boys to Miyu," Rukawa stated, "since your brother obviously can't keep a girlfriend."

"It wasn't his fault! It was the stupid guntai's fault."

Rukawa snort, "Right, like it was their fault he lied."

Rika frowned, 'He's got a point, but I'll be damned to admit it. If I introduce her to a very interesting guy maybe she'll even leave oniisan alone.'

.

(Next morning)

"So it's that girl?" Miyuki asked.

Sendoh nodded.

"Ok. So first we got to make her jealous and miss you. Come on lets go sit behind her and you can make me all giggly with your jokes and annoy the crap ass out of her," Miyuki said.

Sendoh sighed, 'I wish she would stop saying stuff like crap ass.'

"Come on!" she said pulling him to the table.

.

"Akira-kun, can you go buy me another cup of orange juice?"

"Sure."

After Sendoh left, and like she suspected Naomi said, "You know the only reason he's with you is because he want to get my jealous."

"Are you talking to me?" she asked and gave her a once over, "you're pretty egotistic, and why in the blue hell would he do that?"

"Because he likes me."

Miyuki smirked said, "Whatever."

"You think he'll actually like someone like you? Snobby, punk looking, and ill mannered?"

'Oh, we're getting nasty now,' she thought amused and retorted, "Personally I prefer superior to others, cool looking and real. You think he'll like you? You got panda eyes, wrinkles, unevenly tanned skin, bad hair, a voice that sounds like a guy, no body, too much make-up, phoney, and you're an old hag. I'm 15, what are you? 30? So puh-lease, run along. Akira is mine."

Miyuki was quite satisfied, especially when the veins on her forehead began popping.

.

Rukawa frowned. When she declared that she was going to go snowmobile with Sendoh, he dragged Rika along to keep an eye on them.

"So, lets team up and see who's first to get to the lake," Miyuki said.

"I want to team up with Miyuki!" Sendoh declared.

"Oniisan…" Rika warned.

"Great. Since only Kaede-kun and I know how to go. Rika-chan you can be with Kaede-kun. After all it would be quite odd if I teamed up with you and Kaede-kun with Akira, ne?"

Rukawa frowned, 'A snowmobile race? Why do I always have to be with Rika? She so violent and annoying.'

"I want the red snowmobile!" Miyuki declared jumping on it, "you guys can use the blue one."

Sendoh got on behind his sister and put his arms around her waist, 'That's it. The moment I get back I'm finding someone for Miyu and that someone will not be a pervert, will not have a perverted smile, and will not in any way resemble Sendoh!'

He got onto the blue one and Rika got on behind him. He sighed, 'If Kiyota sees this I'll never hear the end of it. That annoying baka.'

Rika wrapped her hand around him and threatened him, "You better not fall asleep and crash us into a tree."

He was going to snap back but decided it would be a waste of breath.

"First one there wins," Miyuki said, "and we start…now!"

They both sped off and Rika held onto him tighter as the snowmobile jolted forward.

'Baka, you're holding on too tight. I'm suffocating,' he thought.

.

Three minutes later she did a U-turn.

"Anou, how will they get back?"

"They can walk," Miyuki said, "I siphoned all the gas except the little bit on the bottom that won't come up so their snowmobile should stop really soon. Don't worry Kaede-kin will take care of Rika-chan."

Sendoh found that quite hard to imagine.

"Ok. Lets find you crush and annoy her some more," she said stopping the snowmobile and began forming a snowball.

"What are you doing?"

"When I find her I'm going to get her attention with this."

According to her plan, she was suppose to annoy Naomi and piss her off. He was suppose to side up with Naomi and Naomi should be so grateful for his help that she'll forgive him.

.

'I can't believe she challenged me to a ski race.'

Naomi eyed her, "3..."

"2..." she said.

"1..."

"Go!" they declared.

They both began down the hill. Miyuki was positive she'll win. She's been skiing since she was 5. Half way down the hill an intense pain shot up from her right ankle. She almost fell over, 'Crap! I can't lose. I won't lose!'

She tried to ignore the searing pain. She broke her ankle in gr. 7 and that was the reason she had to quit soccer. She wasn't suppose to over exert herself, or put too much weight on it. But those swift side to side movements in slaloming was killing her.

She managed to get to the bottom of the hill 2 seconds before Naomi, despite everything. She must've looked in pain because Sendoh asked worriedly, "Are you ok?"

She smiled and tossed her head in Naomi's direction.

.

"What did you do?" Rika demanded.

"Nothing," he said, 'don't look at me like I broke it.'

"Well, do something," she said.

"I'm not a mechanic."

"What are we going to do then?"

He yawned.

"Did you get us lose? Why isn't you imouto and Akira here yet? They could help us out."

'I don't think we're lost…'

"You did get us lose didn't you?" she asked accusingly.

Rukawa was annoyed, "It's about a 45 minute walk. We'll follow the tracks back."

"Do'aho. You're so stupid!"

'Why are girls so whiny?'

.

Rika felt horrible. She wore sneakers and snow got into her shoe, freezing her feet. She was probably going to end up with frostbite. Looking at nothing but white snow all around was making her dizzy.

She stopped and shut her eyes.

"Why are you stopping P.C?"

"Snow blindness."

After a long silence, he said, "I'll guide you."

"Into what? A tree?" she said sarcastically, 'my feet are frozen. I can't walk for another 20 minute.'

He sighed.

"You can piggyback me."

"Huh? No."

"You're the one that got us lost and bust that snowmobile."

.

Rukawa was very tempted to just walk off without her and leave her there, but his sister will probably kill him. She appeared to like this rude, whiny, place-the-blame-on-Rukawa, Pork Chop.

"Fine," he said getting in front of her.

She jumped onto his back and said, "Don't you dare drop me or touch me in any perverted way, S.C."

"Who suggested this and who just jumped on who?" he asked unable to hold his silence any longer.

"Shut up."

"Hn," he said.

5 minutes later there was snoring, which annoyed him because it was making him sleepy, 'That pile of snow looks like a pillow…a big fluffy pillow…Rukawa stay awake!'

"You're heavy you know that?" he muttered.

She murmured back, "I use to be."

He frowned, "Use to?"

"Elementary school."

'She's telling me her secrets? I should verify this,' he thought, "what was your most embarrassing moment?"

"Gr. 4. Forgot to zip my jeans…had a presentation…"

He snickered, 'This isn't so bad…what else should I ask?'

(Night2, Day 3) Plans
