Sana was walking down the street one fine sunny morning. 'What a great way to start vacation..fair weather..sigh' she thought. While walking, she thought that it would be nice to do something over the summer. 'I have at least five months to enjoy the summer..' she thought while entering an ice cream store. "One double scoop, vanilla and choco, topped with sprinklers, mallows, and some strawberry syrup," she told the girl on the counter. She sat at the table near the counter and thinks of something to do during summer. 'Uhm..starting today, no classes, no homeworks..and no projects, and term papers you have to submit.. well.. i have to admit.. it's kinda boring if i wont find anything to do this summer..' Suddenly, someone screamed inside the ice cream parlor. "Look guys! It's Sana Kurata!!" And everyone rushed to her to get her autograph. When all is finished, she claimed the ice cream, said bye to everyone with her angelic smile, and walked towards the park. "I wonder what i'll do this summer.. Obviously I can't go out and watch cartoon movies.. duh..I'm already 15.. everyone will think I'm crazy.. a teenager watching a children's movie.." A paper went to her face. " I think my question's already answered." She read the piece of paper. It said: SUNNY SMILE SUMMER CAMP, OPEN TO BOYS AND GIRLS 15 YEARS OLD AND ABOVE. JUST FORM A GROUP OF 6, HAVE YOUR NAME LISTED, AND YOU'RE IN FOR OUR SUMMER CAMP! BEGINS ON MARCH 25. SEE YA THERE!! 'Sounds interesting..' She took her phone out and called her friends. She decided to meet them at the park. They all agreed. üüüüü "So, what do you say?" "It's great, Sana-chan!" Fuuka said. Takaishi and Hayama went to the place indicated to have their names listed. When they came back, all 6 of them went straight to McDonald's [sorry! can't think of any!] to eat lunch. "By the way, Sana.. the 25th of march is already.. the day after tomorrow. We might not have enough time to prepare." Aya said. "We have. We'll shop tomorrow for food and stuff. Since I'm the one who planned this, it's on me. Would you like to sleep over at my house?" "What for?" Hayama asked. "Well, it'll save us time if we sleep over at her house. So, whaddaya say?" Takaishi asked. "Agree." They chorused. They planned for the camp and for their shopping day. All three girls were excited for the camp, while the guys talked about what to do. Finally, when it's about time to leave, they went straight to Sana's house. While walking, Hayama looked at Sana from her back. She ws laughing and acting so funny that's why the rest of the gang was laughing too. 'I'm afraid to tell Sana what I really feel..' Hayama told himself. "Akito, are you going to come in or not?" Sana asked. He suddenly realized that he'd been standing there for about 5 minutes already. "Coming." He followed Sana inside her house and to her room. "Oh no! We forgot to get everyone's clothes!" Sana exclaimed. "I know! Each of us will call our place and tell the maids to prepare our clothes good enough for a month." Tsuyoshi suggested. "And I'll call Rei-kun so that he could pick up the clothes." She finished. They called up their house, each and everyone of them (ecxept Sana of course!), and after that, they had fun planning and imagining what would happen when they're already in camp. "Maybe I'll make new friends, you know.. It's good to have a friend even though they're far away." Fuuka said. "Yeah. You'll never get lonely if you transfer to a new place, specially if you know that a friend is waiting for you there." They talked about things they want to do, played video games, talked about what to buy, and everything else they could think of.

'Huh? Is it morning already? I better get ready for this day. We'll go to the mall, shop for the camp..It's going to be a bit tiring. But I'm so excited for the camp!!' Sana thought while sitting up her bed. She brushed her teeth and went back to her room. 'Akito..It didn't even occur in my mind that you actually looked cute while sleeping..' she thought while looking at him. They slept together in her room coz the guest room only fit for four persons. She lifted her hands and gently she touched his forehead. 'He's so handsome..' she smiled at the thought as her fingers gently brused the hair on his forehead. She was so busy thinking about him that she didn't notice that her face is only half-an-inch away from his. He could feel her fresh breath against his skin. And unknown to her, that he's awake. Very awake. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and kissed her deeply. Sana didn't know what to do. 'No!' her mind screamed. But her body responded to him. 'I don't know why I'm doing this..' she thought, returning his kiss. She broke the kiss and looked into his eyes. "Goodmorning, Sana." he said to her. She pulled out her mallet from nowhere and it landed with a loud squeak on his head. "Ouch! What did you do that for??!!" he asked. "Did you think it was a polite way to say goodmorning that way??!! You pervert!" again, she hit him two more times. " Yeah, right. Whatever. " He smirked. "But..Oh you pervert!" she got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath. 'She's acting strange.' He thought while getting ready.

"Fuuka! Aya!" Sana knocked through the gestroom's door. "Are you ready?" Fuuka opened the door. "Yep, Sana. We're just waiting for Takaishi to finish applying his gel. He overslept a little." "I'm finished!!" Sana heard Takaishi shout from inside the room. "Let's go, then. Akito's waiting in the front porch." Sana said while walking. Fuuka and Aya were taking down some things they wanted to buy, and those they should buy. "Sana, are you sure you wanna buy all these? It already costs ¥100,000!" "Aw, come on, Fuuka. You don't want to spend the camp starving and getting bored, right? Plus, 50 items there are needed for the activities in the camp." "Sana's right, Fuuka. It isn't ideal to spend the summer camp just sitting there, and watching everyone have fun." Aya said. "Well, then, let's get going." They got out of the car, went straight to the grocery, took a cart each (except for the boys) and went around looking for the things. "Sana, I don't remember listing those potato chips here." Fuuka said. "Of course we need extras." she winked. Sana got her cart full before the others. Since she was the one who got plenty of extras, she told the boys to get carts, too and shop for what they want. After shopping for food, Rei paid for the groceries using Sana's card. She thanked him eternally for bringing the groceries to the house and have them packed. They went to the Depatment store to shop for new clothes. When they finished, Aya checked the time. "Oops,guys.. It's already 4:00 pm..we forgot to eat lunch." "Oh! I totally forgot! Good thing we already finished shopping. I think it's because of the excitment..I just can't wait to get to the camp! Let's go eat. Where do you want?" "Kenny Rogers," Aya said. "Carl's Jr.," Fuuka said. "Via Mare," Tsuyoshi said. "Cinzzeo," Takaishi said. "oh..We can't eat at different places. I know. Akito. You Choose." "Why HIM?" Fuuka demanded. "Well, he's so quiet. In fact, he hasn't spoken since we left the house." "I say.. Tokyo Tokyo." He said. "Oh, Yeah! They serve delicious sushi!!" Aya exclaimed. "Let's get going.. before our stomach rumbles loud enough for everyone to hear." Sana smiled. "Great choice, Akito! Ha! They sure have good sushi!" Sana said, putting her arms around his shouders. "Next time I get hungry, I'll eat there again." "Sana, don't you think we're forgetting something?" Fuuka asked, rummaging through the long [I mean LONGER than the usual longer than long. ] list she and Aya carries. "Uhm.. Fuuka's right. I think we really forgot something." Aya said, stopping in her tracks. "Can't you remember? Or at least maybe figure out what it is." "I think so, Aya. Fuuka, isn't it listed there?" she said while walking to where they stopped. "Ha! I know! We forgot the cd's and lots of extra batteries for our discman!" Fuuka suddenly said out loud, so loud that everyone turned their heads to look at the gang. "Ooops, sorry. Guess I said that too loud," she said with a trace of embarrasment in her tone. She began to giggle a little, and soon the others followed. Everyone was smiling, except for Hayama, of course.

"Aaaah... It's nice to be back home after a tiring day at the mall.." Sana muttered as she lay down her bed, looking at Hayama. "Akito, don't you want to rest? I mean, everyone's resting in the guestroom. Don't you wanna relax even for a while before we eat dinner?" Hayama looked at her when she said "dinner". "What're we gonna have for dinner, anyway?" he suddenly asked. "There's sushi, for sure. I told Shimura-san that you like sushi, so she's preparing loads of them specially for you." she answered while walking to him. She grabbed his arm,dragged him towards the bed, pushed him so he lays there, and she plops down beside him. After what seemed like 10 minutes, Hayama began to wrap his arms on her waist and nuzzle his face to her neck. "AKITO YOU PERVERT!!" She shouted, smacking his head with a huge [I mean HUGE] mallet. He sat up with a start. "What did I do?!!" he retorted at her. "YOU'RE KISSING MY NEEEECCCCCKKKK!!" She said, hitting him with the mallet. "Ow! Stop it, will ya?! I just dozzed off! I was just dreaming!!" he managed to say while trying to dodge her venomous attacks. She stopped in mid air, and he could hear her breathing heavily..well..she's tired, anyway. "Al..A..Alright...I..I..I forgive you...buh...but if..but if you.. do..that once again.." she managed to say while catching her breath. She gently put the mallet on the table near her bed. "I'll have.. to..to hit you.. eve..even harder.." she glared at him. Hayama just shrugged and laid down the bed again, Sana beside her. Unfortunately, her skirt got caught on Hayama's watch and when she laid down, her skirt went up her thigh. "A...ki...to... stop it! I'm tired!" she tried to smack him wih the mallet, but it only landed with a gentle squeak on his head. She looked down at her skirt and spotted the problem. She removed the watch from her skirt and she went straight to her closet to get her Mickey Mouse towel. ' I think I'll just take a nice, warm, shower.. that always relaxed me..' She thought while heading for the bath and shutting the door firmly.

She got out the bath and saw that Hayama wasn't there. Shimura-san entered her room. "Oh, there you are, Sana-chan. I've prepared food. They went down 10 minutes ahead of you. Miss Fuuka-chan said they'll wait for you." She said while handing her clothes to her. "Oh, thanks, Shimura-san. I was just beginnig to wonder where they are. Tell them I'll be down in a minute." She said, taking her clothes. She slipped on her strawberry-colored shirt, pink shorts and her Minnie Mouse slippers. She brushed her hair and tied it into a high ponytail. She made her way down he stairs to meet her friends. "Hey guys! Let's eat!" she called after them, who followed her to the dining room. "Sana, what took you so long? Do you really take showers that long?" Fuuka asked. "I mean, it's longer than the usual bath time of a girl." "When I'm in a hurry, I make sure that I do it fast. But when I'm not, I just soak myself in the tub." She said while sitting down. "Shimura-san, could you please get me those? And also a bit of Maki." "Of course, Sana-chan," And Sana thanked Shimura. "Hey, guys, Shimura-san already made a plate for each of us, except for me of course, and, well..if you want to eat more than that," she said while their maid put down the plates in front of them,"You could always get more." She smiled. Fuuka, Aya, Takaishi and Tsuyoshi's plate contains their fave food and some food for them to try. Hayama's plate, of course, contains non other than sushi. Sana knows that he won't try anything else.

"Sana! Sana wake-up!" Fuuka tried again. It was already 5 am. "If she sleeps another hour, we'll be late for the bus. Akito! Don't just stand there!! Help me to wake her up!!" She scowled at him. "Alright.." he went to her and began to pull her pajama shorts down her thigh. She bolted right up. "HA-YA-MA-A-KI-TO-YOU-PER-VERT!!!!!!!" and she started to smack him with her life-size mallet, but she stopped in mid-air when Fuuka told her that she's late, and they've already packed. "Oh no!! Why didn't you guys wake me up!! Why?? Why??" "We did, stupid. You just wouldn't wake up. Baka." Hayama told her. "Stu-pi-id!! You're much stupid than me!! Baka! Baka!" she spat. "Guys! Stop it! Sana! You're late!" Fuuka scolded them. "Oh, yeah! Oh no!" she said while running to the bathroom and rushing herself to finish dressing. Good enough, they arrived at the bus 5 mins before it leaves. "Look everyone! Sana Kurata's going to our camp!!" somebody just shouted. She knew what to do. While making her way to her seat, she took out a pen and signed the papers they're holding out. She sat with Hayama, of course. The camp's a long way from there, so she slept during the trip leaning on Hayama's shoulder. As time passed by, she hugged him. Well, apparently, she doesn't know this, cause she's sleeping. 'She looks even more beautiful..' He thought. He suddenly noticed Sana's head was now on his lap, but still she's hugging him. 'And she sure sleeps like a log..' They arrived at the camp site. "Wow!! It's so beautiful!!" Sana said jumping up and down. "Alright, girls, boys, I am Juniiko Kowajii, your camp supervisor." "Ohayo, Kowajii-sensei." they greeted. "And here to my right is Mina Sunji, my assistant. Now when I call your names, step up, cause I'm gonna tell you where your cabin is. Fuuka Matsui,Takaishi Yuta, Aya Sugita, and Tsuyoshi Sasaki in cabin one." "Aww geez..we're not in the same cabin, Sana. We'll just visit you and Akito." Takaishi waved at them. "Ok, Takaishi." she smiled. "Sana Kurata, Akito Hayama, Naozumi Kamura, and Meiko Narumi in cabin two." "C'mon Akito!!" and she dragged him to their cabin. "Wow, Akito! Look at this! There's a good view of the lake from here!!" she said, rushing over to open the windows. "Sana? Is that you?" a familiar voice said. "Naozumi!! I missed you!! Good thing we're in the same camp!! In the same cabin, too!! Yay!" she threw her arms up to hug him. 'yeh, right. Preety boy Kamura. Guess he's her boyfriend. I don't have a chance.. if he's gonna be my rival. He's an actor, for crying out loud..' Akito's thoughts were cut because he heard Sana speak again. "Know what? It's been hard missing you.. I mean, we just met and then after some time you have to go into a different city.. It was hard for me to know that a friend's going to transfer somewhere else far." she said. "Ya. I didn't quite have the time to call you. My schedule's too tight. I've been missing a lot of school days. So, when I get back to school, I have to rush making projects, term papers, etc... I hate it." "Oh.. maybe you should tell your manager to cut your schedule a bit. You might get yourself into deep trouble. You know.. the stress, and everything." 'Good. So he's just a friend.' Again, Akito's thinking was interrupted. He turned back to see a cute girl smiling at him, wearing a hanging shirt and jeans. He thought to himself. 'She's a flirt. A MAJOR flirt.' He told himself. "Hi. I'm Meiko Narumi. You must be Hayama-san," The girl said, smiling in a flirty way. 'Bingo. I'm right.' "Ya." "So, uhm.. do you mind if we became friends? I just moved from here to see my uncle.. and next thing I knew, he dragged me to this camp..so.. I don't know everyone yet.. I know Kurata-san and Kamura-san, though. Well, duh. They're stars." "Nope. I don't mind." "Thanks. May I just call you Akito?" He just shrugged. "Akito!! Come- oh. Hi!" Sana cheerfully greeted Meiko. "Hi! My name's Meiko Narumi." "Oh. Hi, Meiko! I'm.." "Sana Kurata. Nice to meet you, Kurata-san." "Oh, heehee. You can call me Sana. He's Naozumi." "Hi, Meiko. You can call me Naozumi." They smiled at each other. "C'mon, you guys!!" Sana called after them, Akito beside her. Siddenly, the supervisor came in. "Hi guys. We're here to tell you that camp has been extended for a week. Your extra things are already there. This, being your first week here, you could do everything you want. It's a free week anyway. Have fun!!" and he left. "Sana! We'll wait for you at the pool!!" Fuuka shouted. "Ok!! C'mon Akito!! Meiko, would you like to come with us?" She asked. "Uhm..well.." "Aw, come on! I'll introduce you to my friends." Sana dragged her to her bed. " Go get your swim wear. Akito, would you mind to wait for us outside the room? You and Nao are finished anyway." "Yep. I do." "Why you--!!" Naozumi stopped her from hitting his head. He then dragged Akito out of the room. "So, Meiko..what would you wear? I'm wearing a string bikini. Here." She held up her swim wear and both of them giggled. "The boys will surely drool over you!!" Meiko said, eyeing her suit. "Here's mine." She held up a cute two-piece, with bears and hearts on them. "Aww.. They're soo cute!!" They went out of the room, and they saw Akito and Naozumi there. The girls wlaked ahead of them, chatting away. They got to the pool, and Sana introduced Naozumi and Meiko to her friends. They had a lot of fun splashing each other with water. Suddenly, Sana felt hugry. So hungry that she doesn't feel like swimming anymore. She thought of an Idea. She knew that Akito is strong. She crept up to his back and hooked her arms on his neck, which caused him to loose his balance. They fell to the water, Sana succesfully climbing up his back, and that means giving her a piggy back ride. "Get off me!" Hayama tried to free himself. "No! I won't!" she insisted. "Unless you carry me up to our cottage. I'm hungry." "Hmp." "Please.." "..." "Akito.." "..." She really was getting more and more hungry. And because she really was desperate, she whispered something to his ear. True enough, he carried Sana. 'Uh-oh..I don't believe it! I got myself into this!' "Sana." "Oh. Sorry." She got off and walked to the table. "You're forgetting something." "Oh. My promise." She walked up to him and give him a box of sushi. "THere." "You know, you would keep me working for you if you give me sushi everytime." he said, his arm sliding around her waist. "AKITO YOU PERVERT!!!" and quick as a wink, she smacked him TOO hard with the mallet. "OW!!" he wailed, rubbing his head. "You deserved that!" she exclaimed. Still, Hayama continued to suffer from the hit. Sana saw that this time, he wasn't faking it. "OH! Akito! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..to hit you way too hard!!" "It's ok.." 'Damn..why can't I even get mad at her?! She affects me so much! Damn..' "Look, Akito. There's more sushi here at the table. Wanna eat?" she offered, sitting right next to him. "Sure." ::Night time..around 9:00:: "Yay! What a great party!! Good work, Sana. When it comes to parties, you're the one we can depend on." Fuuka and Aya winked at her. "Yeah. I didn't even think that you love parties.. you know.. coz some stars don't even celebrate that much." Meiko added. "Aww, guys.. thanks.. anyway, let's just talk about..." and Sana started chatting away with her friends. Meanwhile, in the other corner of the room, Hayama was watching Sana discreetly. They were sitting at the couch, sharing jokes and stories, while Hayama just listened to his cd [A/N: by the way, guys.. I made my story with Sana and Hayama both having discmans and so are the others..- ;] Their Mini-Party ended up at around 10 in the evening. So, naturally, everyone got tired, except for Sana. She decided to go to the terrace, and sit there for a while. 'Hmm.. I look at the stars.. they're so beautiful.. makes me think, this cool breeze helps me relax a little.' "What are you doing out here, Kurata?" Hayama asked. She got surprised and, well, start falling of the ledge. Luckily, her back was to the door, so Hayama caught her. "Hayama Akito you Baka! You frightened me!" she started bonking him with the mallet. "Ow! You were luky I caught you!" "But I wouldn't if you didn't scare me!" again, he recieved another hit. "Whatever." he smirked. Sana felt his arm going up her shirt. "Ah. I see you're already wearing a bra." "HA-YA-MA-A-KI-TO YOU PERVERT!!" and he recieved three hits, which was twice the force than the original. "OW!!" he wailed, rubbing his head. "You deserve that. What are you doing out here, anyway?" she asked, pouncing on Hayama so he lays on the ground, and Sana sitting on his stomach. "Get off," he said, pushing her..she didn't move anyway. "And you? What are you doing here, sitting on the ledge of the terrace?" "Well, I was just--HEY! That was my question!!" "And so? You know what, I just don't see the point why you have to wear a bra when you have nothing at all. I probably have more than you do." "HENTAI!!!" she started smacking him, now, with thrice the force. "Stop it, will ya?" he said, getting the mallet and throwing it somewhere else, where she couldn't reach it. "And get off me, unless you want to make- out with me." He smirked. "You pervert! Hmph!" she got off him and walked straight to her bed, got herself under the blanket, and slept. 'This sure is one long vacation. At least I could tell her.' he thought, getting off the floor and going inside the room. 'What the hell??!! Damn!' he suddenly thought, when he saw Sana sleeping in his bed. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and smiled at him. "Akito!" "What the hell are you doing there?" "Why, sleeping, of course! Baka!" "And why the hell there? You have your own bed!" "Well..I can't sleep! I kept on dreaming all those scary stuffs we told each other during the party.." she moved over to give him room. "Please..." "Oh, alright." 'If I hadn't love you, I wouldn't agree..' "Yay! Thanks a lot, Aki!" He laid down beside her and trid to sleep. Sana wrapped her arms on him, and whispered his name. 'Surely...she doesn't want me to sleep,' he said, cause he could see her cleavage clearly. 'I'm taking back what I said earlier, but I won't let her know.' 'Huh? Akito?' Sana woke up in the middle of the night to find Akito gone. "Akito? Akito where are you? Stop scaring me! It's not funny anymore!" she called, getting up. She waited for an answer for about 30 mins, but she didn't get any. She went down the stairs, and to the kitchen of their cabin. "Akito? Are you here? Akito?" she called. "Kurata! No! Go back up the stairs! Don't Enter--" She then turned to see him, and a man in a mask behind him, holding a knife to his neck. 'Oh no! The man's going to kill him!' she thought. "Run, Kurata!" and she saw him being stabbed at the chest. "NO!! NO!!" she shouted. "No..no..please..no..." Sana was talking in her sleep, with tears in her eyes. Hayama saw this, and she woke her up. "Kurata, Kurata what's wrong?!" "A-A-AKito! You're alive!" "Of course I am, Baka." He immediately got himself ready for the hit. But, to his surprise, she only embraced him tight. "Oh Akito! I thought I'm going to loose you!" she buried her face in his chest, crying. "Stop crying, Kurata," he said, embracing her. "You won't loose me, I promise." he added, his tone.. very convincing. "Y-you p-promise?" she asked, looking into his golden-brown eyes. "Yes, I promise." he assured her. She just endulged herself into the warmth of his arms around her. 'He's alway's there to protect me.. Akito..' she thought, feeling very secured and safe with him. He rested his chin on her hair, smelling of sweet strawberries with cream. 'Hm..sweet..just like her..' He had always love her sweet scent ever since sixth grade. Sure, she sometimes pisses him off, but he cools down after several minutes. Is she really that powerful? That powerful to even turn the cold-hearted Akito to realize the true meaning of life? That understanding that she could relate to her friend's problems in need? That generous to help others without realizing that sometimes, the helping she does actually begins to hurt herself? Akito laid her on the bed, beside him, pulled the covers and closed his eyes, trying his very best to sleep. But, in this situation, that the girl she loves is actully beside him, asking for comfort, I don't ven think he could. Her nearness to him gave him the pleasure of smelling her perfume, which he actually liked for her, strawberries. And while thinking of her, she said something, which caught his attention. He heard her. Could what she's saying possibly means something? Something that only he could make her realize? Again, she started to whisper. And since her head is near his left ear, he heard her very clearly. "A..ki..to.. Ha..ya..ma.." she wispered. 'Could that possibly mean something?' he thought.
