Ohayo minna! Arigato for the two nice reviews I got for chapter one. (Note they were the ONLY reviews......*sweatdrop*) All thoughts from now on will be in italics.
Anyhoo...Chapter 2! (I'm a poet and I didn't know it! :P)
-Honooko-chan
********************************************************************
"Where are they?"
Usagi, Ami, Mako, Rei, and Mina were all standing at the top of the beach, looking around for Yaten, Taiki, and Seiya.
"They said meet them on the beach, as in, ON THE SAND." Rei said, exasperated.
"No, they meant up here." Usagi replied.
"They meant the sand." Rei repeated.
"Up here."
"Sand."
"Here."
"SAND!"
"HERE!"
"SA-"
"There they are!" cried Mako hurriedly. "Let's go!"
********************************************************************
"Oh no...they spotted us." Yaten moaned.
"Now, Yaten," Taiki said warningly, "You promised to behave."
"Yeah, Yaten!" Seiya bounced up and down happily. "This is gonna be fun!"
"Like last time?" Yaten answered coolly.
Seiya paled.
Yaten grinned evilly.
"What's the matter Seiya? Didn't you have FUN last time? Didn't we have a blast? Wasn't it the best vacation we ever-"
"That's enough Yaten. We get the idea. So maybe last time wasn't quite what we were hoping for..." Taiki said.
"HOPING FOR?!?!?!" screeched Yaten, "It took me 3 days to get out all that bird poop! I had nightmares about HIM," he pointed to Seiya," Him, naked, for weeks!"
"Yaten calm down, they're coming over."
********************************************************************
"YAY!!!!!YATEN-KUN!!!!" Mina yelled, throwing her arms around Yaten's neck.
"Hi, Minako." said Yaten, dejected.
"I missed you SOOOOOO much!" she giggled.
Yaten sighed. How did he let Taiki talk him into this?
Rei sidled over. She slipped her arm into Yaten's, and looked at him.
He felt her slide over and glanced at her.
She gave him the sexiest look she knew.
He gulped.
Minako hopped off him, grabbed his arm, and started pulling him towards the beach.
Dang, she's cute. To bad She's nuts. Yaten thought.
********************************************************************
As they all got to the waters edge, they started to strip down to their swimsuits. When Seiya pulled off his shirt everyone except Yaten stopped and stared.
"Nani?" asked Seiya, confused.
"Seiya, what are those?" asked Taiki.
Seiya had on huge, rainbow suspenders.
"Suspenders. To keep my shorts on. I don't really like the color, but Yaten said this was all they had at the store.
Once again, Yaten grinned evilly.
Everyone turned to glare at him.
"What?"
"Yaten-kun, you shouldn't play with him like that. It's not nice." Ami said, matter-of-factly.
Who said I'm nice? He thought. Instead, he said to them, "Fine. Next time I'm at the store, I'll get him a different pair. Happy?"
"Quite." Said Taiki.
Liar. He thought.
******************************************************************
An hour later, the group had split up. Rei, and Mako were looking for seashells, Taiki and Ami were identifying different types of seaweed, Usagi and Seiya were splashing each other and screaming, and Yaten and Mina were sitting on the beach, sunbathing.
Yaten covered himself in sunscreen, as Minako built a little sandcastle around her feet. She looked around for something to use as a flag, and noticed Yaten, lying down in the sun, arms behind his head.
What a hunk. I wouldn't mind putting sunscreen on him. Heck, I'd do it all day. She thought dreamily.
Yaten noticed her staring at him, with a glazed over expression on her face.
"Minako?" he asked.
She snapped out of her daydream, and blushed.
"Ah, gomen Yaten-kun. I was just...." she paused, as she blushed even more.
Say something! Anything! She thought franticly.
"Ahhh....thinking... I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"Uhhh...cheese."
"Cheese?"
"Yes, cheese."
"Right...."
Smooth, Minako. she thought sourly. Now he knows your nuts. God, he probably thinks I have a cheese fetish or something. How embarrassing.
She sighed, glanced sideways at him, then resumed building her sandcastle.
*******************************************************************
"Oh, Taiki-san, look! It's (name of rare seaweed here)!"
Taiki and Ami weren't having much luck with the seaweed hunt. All they could find was plain old seaweed. Suddenly, a rip tide yanked Taiki's feet out from under him, and he fell SPLAT! into the water. It was only about a foot deep, but he was soaked.
"Taiki-san! Are you alright?" Ami asked quickly.
"Hai, just wet." He answered. Ami reached down to help him up, but when she pulled, his weight pulled her down too.
She looked up, right into Taiki's violet eyes.
She was in his lap, so to speak.
Oh no. she thought.
Oh no. he thought.
He's going to be mad at me. Ami thought.
She's going to slap me. Taiki thought.
They just sat there, staring at each other, waiting for the other to react.
Ami spoke first.
"Go-gome-gomenasai Taiki."
"That's ok..hey!"
"Nani?"
"That's the first time you've said my name without the 'san' on it."
"It is?"
"Yeah."
"Oh."
"Ami?"
"Yes?"
"Um, could you move? You're kneeing on my.....um.."
She leapt off.
"Gomenasai, Taiki-san!"
"Taiki."
"Nani?"
"It's just Taiki."
"Taiki."
"Great."
They smiled at each other. Ami reached over, and shyly grabbed his hand. He smiled, and they went for a walk down the beach together.
***************************************************************************
Usagi and Seiya were splashing around, Seiya trying to dunk Usagi, Usagi trying to snap Seiya's suspenders.
What can I say?
They were just having fun :P
***************************************************************************
"Geez. Look at them, getting the guys all to themselves. I mean, Usagi-chan already HAS a guy. The least they could do was share." Rei complained. She and Mako were watching Seiya and Usagi have a splash-fest.
"I know, Rei-chan. It's not fair. And I really thought there was something between Taiki and me." She sighed, and put her arm around Rei. "Sometimes life isn't fair to us special ones."
"I know, I know." Rei nodded her agreement.
The two friends sighed, and moved on.
***************************************************************************
How can she look so cute ALL THE TIME?!?!?! Yaten thought furiously. He was watching Minako from behind his sunglasses, so she didn't know, or so he thought.
What is he staring at? Is there something on my face? Or is he check-....No. Minako get real. At guy like him would never be interested in a cheese-loving girl liked me. She thought bitterly.
However, he was looking pretty intently....
Man, does she look ho- WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING????? THIS IS CHEESE GIRL!!!! MINAKO!!! He shook his head, wondering what got into him.
"Um, Yaten?" Minako asked.
"Whaa-What?!!?" he jumped.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Whoops. She noticed.
"Well-"
"Am I that ugly?"
"What?"
"Am I that ugly?"
"Minako, that's not....that's not why I was staring."
"Why then?"
"I was just thinking how...." Don't say hot. Don't say hot. She'll kill you if you say hot.
"How hot you are."
DAMN!!!!!!
WHAM!!!!!!!
Yaten was facedown in the parking lot, asphalt in his ears.
Crap. He thought, miserably.
****************************************************************************
"Well, that was fun, wasn't it Guys?" Taiki asked. The guys were driving home after the long day. The girls went home separately.
"Yeah! It was great!" Seiya said contentedly.
"Yeah, sure, great." Yaten grumbled, as he tried to get the asphalt out of his teeth.
"I can't wait to go back next week!" Seiya cried.
"WHAAAT?!!?!?!?!" Yaten screamed.
"Oh, that's right. You weren't there, were you Yaten?"
"No, I guess I wasn't, Taiki."
"We had such a nice time this week, we decided to meet here again next week."
"I hate you Taiki."
"I love you too, Yaten."
