Nocturnal Maidens
"Come on, Tyson, hurry up!" Tala scowled as he banged on the poor boy's door. "If you don't hurry up, then we'll leave you and lock this house so you won't have to co-"
The door opened and slammed his face. A very annoyed-looking Tyson came out, "Hold your horses, will ya? I'm up, I'm up... Tala?" Then he saw the red-haired boy on the floor, "Tala!"
++ || ++
Tala grumbled, "Damnit Tyson. Why'd he have to slam the door on my face?! Now I got stuck here on the sidelines waiting for my head to cool down. I'm freezing here because of this damned ice, and I can't even swim because of it!"
"If you're going to complain all day, then complain in front Tyson." He glared at the girl next to him. Shura had a bored expression as she continued reading her book, ignoring the glares on her way. She was wearing a plain black two-piece with red outlines and with the straps of her top around her neck. If only Tala wasn't so annoyed right now, he would've had a nosebleed.
"Well, sor~ry." And to top it all, I got stuck with Miss I'm-so-perfect! Argh!

Bryan and Ian were challenging each other who can go underwater the longest. Spencer was off making Sand Castles of Doom, as he liked to call it. Mariah and Emily were battling on who has the better swimming moves, and Riku was off collecting corals and shells underwater. Tyson, Max, Ray, and Kai were playing volleyball with Kenny sitting on the sidelines, recording the game with Dizzi.
"The long mermaid! Hah! Beat that, Emily!"
"Fine then. This means war, Mariah! Here's the Free Butterfly!"
"Kai, catch!"
"Tyson, get it!"
"What's the score, Dizzi?"
"12 to 14 in Kai and Rei's favor, Chief!"
"Hah! You rose up first! I'm the winner!"
"What are you talking about, munchkin? You were the one who came out of the water first!"
"You came up first, Bryan. Ian won this round."
"Geez, nobody's asking you, Spencer."

Swimming through the waters and pushing her way through underwater plants, Riku tried holding her breath. Swimming further down, she reached for a rusty stem and ripped it apart, taking the upper part of the plant - coral - in her hand and moving on.
She scanned the ocean, turning her head around as if looking for something. Something bright caught her eye and her eyes twinkled. She put the plant in front of her, just close to the source of brightness. The light swam between the rusted stems of the plant. The plant glowed.
Riku grinned, swimming upwards, making sure that the light didn't disappear.

Long time, no see, dear Shura. A figure beneath the leaves of a tree smirked to himself as he watched the girl. His eyes then turned to the rest of the party and smirked even more. Oh, this will be fun.
++ || ++
"Oi, Tala."
Tala nearly jumped at the intruder. He spun around ready to attack, but what he saw was no enemy. The Majestics. He sighed in relief, "Oh, it's just you guys." Then it hit him, "What are you guys doing here?!"
Shura didn't move but she looked at the boys from the corner of her eyes.
Oliver laughed, "We own this resort. Didn't you know?"
"You own this resort?! Should've known. The restaurants' food are delicious and there are lots of paintings, there's a peeking device to the girl's spring baths -" Tala smirked at Enrique, "- the whole place is sparkling clean and there are torture chambers." He shook his head about the last two, raising an eyebrow at Robert and Johnny, who just glared at him.
Enrique's jaw dropped, "How'd you know that there was a peeki- Oops..."
"Enrique! Don't tell you were peeking on the ladies!"
"Uh... it's teenager hormones! I'm pretty sure you also get it, right?"
"Hormone's my ass."
Another voice interrupted the conversation, "Shura, have you seen Riku?"
All eyes turned to the girl beside Shura. Yoko Kimura. She was wearing a simple, short, white dress with her hair flowing down her shoulders. A summer hat hung on her head and she wore simple wooden sandals. Shura blinked, "Yoko, when did you get here?"
"Around the same time as you did." Yoko chuckled to herself,
"I think I saw Riku somewhere on the shore collecting underwater stuff. You can ask Tyson if you want. He's her boyfriend, anyway."
"Hai, hai."
++ || ++
"Who's she?" Oliver blinked as Yoko walked away,
"She's cute." Enrique drooled, only to be bonked on the head by Oliver and Johnny, "OW! What'd you do that for?!"
"That's for peeking."
Enrique got teary.
"Oh, please." Tala rolled his eyes, "Her names Yoko Kimura."
"Another vampire?" Robert raised an eyebrow,
"Nope. A Holy Bring."
"A what?"
"Long story. Don't ask since I won't give you the answer."
"Damn."
++ || ++
"How's the game, Kenny?" Yoko looked over the said boy's shoulder, and saw the chart. "Figures that Kai and Rei would win."
"Yoko!" Kenny blinked, "What are you doing here?"
"Came with some news." Yoko smiled but quickly added when she saw Kenny splutter, "But of course, it's good news. Wouldn't want to ruin your vacation, ne?"
Kenny heaped a sigh of relief, "Aye."
"Oi, Chief!" They both turned in front of them, where the BladeBreakers walked towards them. "What's the score?"
"I'm afraid Ray and Kai won. Again. it's 15 to 20."
Max pouted, "Aw, man! That's four games in a row!"
"Hey, Chief, who's your friend?" Ray blinked at Yoko's direction,
Yoko waved at them, "Yoko Kimura. Pleasure."
"And we're -"
"The BladeBreakers, I know."
"Why does everyone always has to know our name?!" Tyson sighed exasperatedly,
"Cool it, Tyson." Kai smirked,
"Of course everyone knows your name." Kenny chuckled, "The almighty BladeBreakers."
"Che'."
"And Tyson?" All eyes turned to Yoko. Yoko just chuckled, "Have you seen Riku anywhere? And I've heard that you two finally got together." She grinned,
Tyson blushed, glaring at his teammates who were whistling, "I think I saw her somewhere on the shore. Why?"
"Have something to tell her. But I don't see her anywhere." Yoko looked around, frowning. Her eyes scanned the beach but she found no signs of the girl. "Nope. No black-haired, violet-eyed person around here."
"Really? But I swear I saw her here a few minutes ago." Tyson's face turned to a look of concern,
Just then, a voice rang out, "Her? If you're talking about a girl, then I swear I'll dump you, Champollion." It scoffed,
The group jumped at the interrupting voice, then quickly swirled around. Tyson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just Riku and he just worried over nothing, but he had a sheepish grin on his face once he saw the glare on the girl's face. "I am talking about a girl. A girl with the name of Riku Azuki."
Riku's face brightened. "Well, in that case, anyone hungry?" Her smiling face now turned into a look of shock as Kenny glomped her, tackling them both down.
Kenny had rivers of tears down his cheeks, anime-style. "Oh, I love you! I thought I was gonna die from starvation!"
"C... Chief... suffocating..." Riku twitched, then felt herself being pulled away under the genius' hug,
Tyson pouted, hugging Riku protectively, "She's mine."
"Of course, Tyson." Kenny smirked, "Just got a little excited. Haven't eaten since last night. And besides, Riku and I are just friends. Not like you two." He chuckled at the way Tyson blushed,
The group laughed. Riku would've laughed with them, but she's currently with swirly eyes at the moment.
++ || ++
After the group had eating, including Mariah, Emily, Shura and the Demolition Boys, they all decided to have one more adventure before they go home. Adrenaline pumping.
They all sat in logs with the forest in front of them. Night screamed all around, and the only light they had was the moon and the stars. No fire. They were forbidden to use their flashlights until the adventure started. Plus, Yoko stole all their flashlights and would only give it to them if they went by the rules.
"So, the rules are simple." Yoko smiled gently, but an evil spark twinkled in her eyes, "You will be paired in two's. Each pair would have to go across or around the forest. At the north of this forest, you'll be standing on a cliff, underneath you is the river. You have to go down the cliff and on the riverbank, then steal a crystal. Got it?"
The group nodded. Yoko just kept on smiling, "So, let's begin. Form two lines. Max and Emily. Ray and Mariah. Ian and Spencer. Riku and Tyson. Shura and Tala. Bryan and Kai." They did as they were told.
Each pair had only one flashlight, and Yoko waited a minute before sending another pair. Oh, this was certainly gonna be fun.

Eyes sparkled in the trees once he saw the activity that the group of teenagers were about to do. A certain girl caught his eye, This would be the perfect time for me to reveal myself, Shura dear. Your companion is just a mere mortal. What harm can he bestow upon me? Just one more step, Shura... and I can finally kill you.
