And now for Chapther 4! What will happen next? Here's a hint: Shinji and Kyoko wake up together! Sousuke is missing! Something's bound to happen, so read on and find out!
The entire class is gathered around. Everyone, that is, except Sousuke. They are talking quietly amongst themselves and watching two others wake. Shinji wakes up first, noticing that a crowd is gathered around him. He tries to get up when he feels a weight on his chest. He looks to watch Kyoko wake from sleeping on him. She sits up, rubbing her eyes and putting on her glasses.
"Good morning," she greets everyone, "Are we the last ones awake?"
"Yeah," Kaname says, "unless you count Sousuke, who we haven't heard from yet."
"Maybe something's wrong," Maya suggests, "It's pretty late, and I don't think he usually sleeps this much."
"Why does it matter?" Kaname shrugs, "He hasn't been as controlled as he usually is. It's probably-"
Shinji interrupts her, "Which means he's likely to get in some serious shit."
"I thought you were angry with him."
"Yeah, but he's still my friend."
"We should find him then!" Kyoko cheers, "It's a Sousuke hunt!"
Shinji's stomach growls. "Can we eat breakfast first?"
Later, Kaname, Kyoko, and Shinji are walking through the woods.
"Any ideas on where Sousuke might go?" Kaname asks.
"Not one," Kyoko answers while stepping over a fallen branch.
"Maybe he had to piss, but got lost at some point," is Shinji's idea.
Kaname rejects the idea, saying "he's not the type." So the trio keeps walking, looking anywhere they could think of. Every once in a while, Kyoko and Shinji talk of giving up.
"No!" Kaname shouts at them, "We have to find Sousuke! He might be causing trouble, or something just as bad!"
"Kyoko talks to Shinji like she doesn't want Kaname to hear, but says it so she can, "You can tell she likes him."
"I'll say," Shinji talks in the same way, "They make a dynamic couple."
"I can hear you, you know," Kaname tells them, annoyed.
"Yeah, we know," Kyoko and Shinji speak at the same time. They look at each other for a second, then burst out laughing. Kaname just grunts and walks faster.
The trio walks for a couple of hours, not finding their lost classmate. They stop when they hear the sound of crashing waves and the air tastes a little salty. They run towards the source.
"A beach..." Kaname says in awe, "It's so beautiful..."
"Hey look!" Shinji points towards some stuff. It is a small bag, towel, and some fishing poles.
"That's his stuff, but I don't see him," Kaname moans.
"Was this beach on the map? There's no one else here..." Kyoko wonders, looking around.
Kaname sits in the sand, staring out over the water. After a few minutes, she gets an idea.
"Why don't we go swimming?"
Shinji and Kyoko agree. They all need a break from walking anyway. The girls take off their clothes, revealing the swimsuits underneath. Kaname's is a white bikini, Kyoko's a blue one-piece. Shinji is wearing his as shorts, so he takes off his shirt and kicks off his shoes. They all start running for the water, but stop suddenly.
There is someone walking in the water towards the shore! Kaname moves closer to see who, and smiles.
"Sousuke!" She shouts to the sea, waving he walks towards them.
"Kaname, what are you doing here?" Sousuke seems surprised.
"We were looking for you," Kyoko answer before Kaname can. She tries to say something...
"You left without telling anyone," Shinji beats her to it. She gets a little angry.
"I was gonna say that!" She shouts at them.
"Sorry about that," Sousuke apologizes, "It's just the fishing is best early in the morning, and no one else was awake."
"Why didn't you leave a note?" Kaname interrogates him.
"I did. I left it on the breakfast table."
"It must have blown away," Shinji explains.
"Can we get to swimming now?" Kyoko complains.
"Let's go!" Kaname runs into the water with a shout.
Once everybody's in, Kyoko splashes Shinji! He returns fire with a splash of his own, and the two wage war with each other. Poor Sousuke and Kaname get caught in the middle.
"Great!" Kaname says sarcastically, "And I was hoping not to get my hair wet..."
And then...Sousuke splashes Kaname! She looks at him, shocked.
"So-Sousuke...You...splashed me..."
"Yes," he responds slowly, "You were already soaked, so...I thought I'd have some fun."
"Damn right!" She shouts with an evil smile, "Now, I'm going to get you back for that!"
Sousuke screams and runs from her, she pursues, splashing him the whole way. It's fun for everyone!
Later, after they all calmed down, Sousuke and Kaname sit alone on the beach. They are watching the sun go down together.
"Sousuke, what made you decide to change your attitude like this?"
"You said this trip was supposed to be fun. I've decided to put aside my duty and ensure I enjoy myself."
Kaname rests her head in his shoulder. There is a moment of silence.
"Kaname," Sousuke whispers gently. When she looks up, he puts his hand on her cheek and moves his lips to meet hers, closing his eyes.
Now everything is perfect, is Kaname's last thought before she returns with a passionate kiss. This single moment seems to last forever...
Aww...so romantic...oddly enough, romance makes me a little sick sometimes. I'm serious, and I myself actually wrote this...but anyway, I'm running out of ideas, I only have one chapter left to type!Oh no! If you guys have any ideas, I must know! I don't want this fic to end without some kind of resolve!Aaaahhhhh! Okay, review now, then wait for the next chapter!
