Kotori crawled out of the water and up to the 3 guys that stood before her.  Donald laughed as she got up.  "That was sweet!" the blonde gave him an evil look.

            "I'm glad you think that stupid fall was fun!" she was being sarcastic "I nearly drowned twice today, I got the wrong luggage, some kids took a picture of me, and they won't give me the camera, just what else could happen?" Kotori complained.

            One of the boy scouts got up (Lets call him Sean) "We're lost on an unknown territory, the camera has a little scratch on it, and there's no food." Sean looked around "Hey Brandon am I missing anything else?"

Brandon pointed behind Kotori, his face as pale as a ghost.  "B-b-b-b-b-be-b"

            "B-What?" Kotori tried to guess.

            Brandon shook his head, and then he started waving his arms.  "Be-ru-be-b" he couldn't stop stuttering.

            Sniff.

            "Stop sniffing my neck, Donald!" Kotori snapped.

            "That's not me it's the BEAR!" Donald turned around and ran for his life, Brandon followed suit.

            ROAR!

            Kotori and Sean (while shaking and with a wide eye expression) turned around to see a huge hungry bear snarling right at them.  "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The two kids ran down the dirt path before the bear could take a swipe at them.  It then sniffed the air and followed the four sets of footprints.

            "I wonder if Kamui is having any fun?" the blonde yelled.

            Kamui sighed, watching Subaru, Sieshiro, and Fuma walk outside.  They were leaving for the festival and Kamui knew that he would have to stay behind being young and all.

            Fuma walked up to Kamui.  "Don't feel so bad we can tell you how the party went when we come back." Fuma placed his hand on Kamui's shoulder.  "Mean while, just take care of the house and tomorrow we could do something fun at the beach."

            Kamui looked a little mad.  "What do you think I am a 2 year old or something?  Just let me go to the festival.  I'm 16 and I'm sure that I've seen a lot of mature stuff already, like Karen's work outfit, Kanoe, the tour guide's humanely impossible chest size…" the boy was desperately naming almost every mature situation he had been in. 

            After a very long list the boy had stopped.

            "O.O I had no idea that you were in situations like that," Fuma stared surprisingly at the Dragon of Heaven.  Kamui's heart almost leaped up for joy maybe he'll be able to go after all "but it still doesn't change the fact that you're still not going." Suddenly something happened to Kamui deep inside him it was like a voice was telling him to go insane or do something that was near going insane.

            While Fuma turned around to leave, he felt two arms, and then two legs wrap around his own legs.  The tall man almost fell to the ground but quickly caught himself.  "I GOING RATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Fuma couldn't believe what the boy was doing he was acting like a little kid "OTHERISE THERE WAS NO POINT IN ME COMING HERE!"

            "Kamui!  Calm down!" Fuma looked around for Sieshiro and Subaru's support but those two were quickly exiting the area and walking off somewhere.

            "Subaru.  Do you hear something?" Sieshiro quickened his walk.

            "No." Subaru put his hands into his pocket and matched his speed with Seishiro's. "It must be the wind."

            Fuma sweat droped.  "A lot help you are!" the twin star tried to reach for Kamui's arms so he could pry them apart but Kamui quickly saw what he was doing and began trying to bite his hands.  Fuma withdrew them knowing that this was pointless unless he wanted a huge bite mark on his hand.  "Kamui you're acting like a…"

            "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Obviously the boy didn't want to hear the word "child". 

            Frustrated and extremely embarrassed, Fuma tried to think of a way to get this boy off of him.  He knew kicking him into the wall wouldn't work.  He had already tried that and that just resulted in a huge bite mark on his leg.  He almost lost all hope until a wonderful idea crossed his mind. 

            "AND DON'T GIVE ME THAT KOTORI WAS GOING TO BE HERE CRAP!"

            Fuma pointed toward the water behind the house Kamui looked instantly.  "Isn't that Kotori?" the twin star waved his hands "Hey Kotori we're over here!"

            Kamui released Fuma and ran behind the house leaving Fuma enough time to run like the wind in the direction that Sieshiro and Subaru.  When Kamui got behind the house he saw nothing but scared strangers.  The poor souls had been watching Kamui go crazy.  Seeing this and instantly knowing that Fuma had already left he dropped to his knees and screamed: "FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

            The strangers ran to their houses thinking that the boy might do something even crazier.  The boy's voice echoed loudly into the air causing Sieshiro and Subaru to stare at each other and Fuma to run even faster.

            Donald lay panting on the ground.  "That was awesome!" Kotori kicked him in the side surprised at how much energy she had left to do so. "Ow!  Why are you always causing some type of pain to me?"

            Kotori seemed very frustrated.  "You think everything is sweet or awesome and being chased by a bear is neither of those!"

            Sean crawled toward the female.  He studied her.  "Hmmm.  Constantly ticked off, a female, appears to be in her teenage years, body has developed nicely, why Brandon."

            "What?"

            "This women must be on her period." Sean concluded. 

            Kotori growled.

            "But be very careful.  She might bite your head off." Sean looked at Brandon.

            "I never knew that females could be so viscous just like that bear.  You think that we could get a badge for knowing something about females?"

            "O.O.  What the h_ll are you talking about you freaks!?  There is no time for studying me when we have to get up to the top of the waterfall and what are a bunch of 8 year old BOYS supposed to know about girls!?" Kotori yelled.

            Donald decided to join into the conversation.  "We don't really have to get to the top of the waterfall any time sooner"

            "WELL I DO!" Kotori watched as the boys winced.  "Can't you see it's getting dark and I have some place I have to go to before my brother finds out the truth?"

            Sean and Brandon hid behind Donald.   "Females are scary." Sean said.  "But she is right.  We should try to find a way out of this place.  But in the mean time lets try to get some food."

            "Luckily that stupid bear fell down yet another freaken water fall." Kotori looked at the sky it was turning into a deep blue "^_^ so lets get started." The boys stared at her since she said the sentence in a very cheerful tone.  "*Angry anime expression * I SAID LETS GET STARTED!!!!!!!!" the boys quickly scurried off to go find some food while Kotori decided to set up camp.

            Kamui sighed horribly as he walked into the house.  The sand falling off of his clothes like water because he had spent the last 20 minutes or so rolling in the sand while screaming words that he thought he would never say.  He remembered getting tired of seeing the scared people open there door again and again to see if the boy would stop yelling words that the children shouldn't be hearing.  The boy had gotten annoyed and stood up walking to the house right after he had blew up the hot dog stand.

            Now he sat down slouching in the kitchen chair.  He than laid his head down hoping that the time would just past right by.  Of course the boy had lots of things that he could occupy himself with.  But it didn't really matter how much stuff there was because Kotori wasn't here so he didn't have anyone to play with.  Taken the fruit basket that Karla gave him walked out into the hallway wondering what to do.

            Boom!

            Kamui landed face first on the ground the basket under his stomach and Kotori's bag right under his leg.  "Ow, crap, h_ll, %$%^@%" the boy's vocabulary was getting rather colorful lately.  "Why do I keep on putting that thing in people's way?" the boy removed the basket and brought the bag closer to him for it was unzipped.  A hand reached out to zip it but stopped and instead he pulled out a beautiful kimono.

            It was dark blue material of cotton with a design of a silver dragon on it, the belt had a series of purple flowers on it.  Kamui pulled out make up, hairpins, a long shiny black wig, and a bra.  He had no idea why he was doing this.  A thought entered into his mind.  Maybe you can go to the festival unnoticed in a disguise.  A smile creped up on to his mouth as he carried all the material into a nearby bathroom. 

            Than a worried expression fell upon his face.  He never crossed dressed in his life and what about his deep voice?  Fuma might just recognize him the moment he spoke.  If he did wear the Kimono could he wear it right?  Kotori did happen to wear one when she was little.  The smile crept on to his face again just how could it be hard to put on a kimono and make up.  After all back at Tokyo Hinoto and Arashi, and even Subaru (although not a female kimono) wore kimonos.  Just as long as he avoided Subaru, Sieshiro, and Fuma this plan would work just fine.  He laughed as he picked up some red lipstick.

            Sieshiro raised an eyebrow at the sight of the hula dancers on the wooden stage.  Ternisha was dancing with some other girls while Karla served drinks in a hula outfit.  Sieshiro could tell that the woman was getting mad over the men giving her glances.  Those glances weren't even directed at her they were directed toward her chest.  A few yells at the men and seeing that they were still doing the same thing the girl had gave up.  Sieshiro laughed and took out another cigarette.  A few people next to him coughed.

            Karla with the tray in her right hand walked up to Sieshiro an already mad expression on her face.  "Excuse me sir but this is the no smoking section."

            "So."

            "Don't you so me!  The no smoking section obviously means that there is no smoking!" Karla put her hand on her heap feeling that she had won the argument.  She looked so surprised when the assassin grinned.

            "What are you the police/waitress?  I wanted to smoke so I decided to smoke its as simple as that."  Sieshiro blew a long line of smoke ticking off Karla even more to the point where she reached out to grab the cigarette.  The assassin simply smacked the women's hands away.  "Try that again." Even though Sieshiro didn't look mad there was some kind of evil aura about him that Karla seemed to notice.

            Karla gave up feeling that she didn't wish to find out what his reaction would be.  "Just go ahead and smoke sir." She walked off fuming.

            Sieshiro grinned as he managed to take a few bear bottles from Karla's tray.  Subaru who was right next to him had produced a big sweat drop.  Sieshiro walked up to him.  "Hi Subaru.  Wanna drink?" the man held up two bottles.

            "No."

            Sieshiro swung his arm over the boy's shoulder.  "^_^ Why not?"

            "Because I want to see what happens at midnight and be able to remember it."

Subaru blushed as Sieshiro whispered in his ears.  "Come on you won't get drunk with just one bottle."

"Sieshiro.  I have a feeling that you want me to get drunk." Subaru pushed off Sieshiro's hand but Sieshiro quickly embraced him.  "SIESHIRO WE'RE IN PUBLIC!" Luckily the music was playing too loud for anybody to hear him. 

"So.  Just one beer bottle." He smiled a big smile that made Subaru shiver. 

Subaru sighed and took the bottle.  "Just one and only one." He lifted the opening to his mouth. 

            Kotori sat on a near by rock.  It was huge enough for four people.  The girl had been trying to make a fire for the past hour.  "They'd better be back with the food or else." The fire slowly began to rise.  The girl grinned happily that she managed to start a fire in the firewood.

            "WEEEEEEEEEEE!" Donald ran toward Kotori and hugged her from behind, the water from the bucket he was carrying splashed straight on to the fire. 

            Kotori struggled to get free and jabbed him in the stomach.  "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO SET UP THAT FIRE!?"

            Donald clutched his side.  "Owies!  I don't know."

            Brandon and Sean walked up to the fireplace with a lot of fish in their hands.  "Look at what we caught." They both smiled. 

            "Hmm look at all of that fish.  Too bad we don't have a fire to cook them.  Right Donald." Kotori said.

            "Oh you can't get the fire ready," Sean said "I can get it started for you."

                        *5 minute later *

            Everybody was happily eating fish.

            "Ah.  Camp fires aren't as bad as I thought it would be." Kotori took a bite of her fish.  Everyone else nodded in agreement.  "I'm having so much fun that I don't think that anything could ruin my day." Everyone else just nodded.

            ROAR!

            "Not again." Everyone said as they turned around looked for the bear.  Well, what they thought was a bear.

            "HOLY CRAP!  That's a mountain lion and it looks pretty hungry!" Sean ran off, Brandon followed.

            "Don't worry Kotori I'll protect you.  Kotori?" Donald sweat droped as the girl ran away.  Roar!  The mountain lion started walking towards Donald.  "Kotori!  Wait for me!" he ran after her the lion right on his tail.

            "*Whistle * Hey baby do you wanna take a ride in my car? *Whistle *." A man was honking his horn at very beautiful women.

            The women wore a very nice kimono, her hair was long enough to be put in a very decorative hair with a pin in it, and she wore makeup, and had one of those Japanese fans in her hands.  She now opened the fan over her mouth.  "Sir.  I'm not that type of girl." Her voice was like a bell.  She quickened her walk as soon as she saw the festival.

            Now the man stepped out of the car.  Coming closer to the girl.  The women looking ready to punch him.  "Why are you in such a hurry." He said to her and grabbed her hands.

            The women's eye's widened but then quickly turned a deep gold color.  The men stepped back a bit.  "I said," the women's voice was now deep "that I'm not that type of girl!" Kamui blew the guy away.

            The man hit his car and immediately got up.  "You're a guy?" he screamed and ran away.

            "Now that's over with." Kamui's voice changed to a girl's voice.  "I'll be able to go to the festival.  This had better be good."
