HA!

The second chapter of: BUSY VACATION!

YAY

Thank you guys for all the reviews! I appreciate them!

REVIEW AGAIN!

By the way, since I started with the dub names, I'm going to finish with the dub names, although the next SK fic I write, I shall try to remember to use the real names!

Onto the chappie!

Pilica and Tamora hurriedly went inside the house. They knew the boys wouldn't be long to follow their example, especially with Anna's plan working perfectly!

They were just in time to see Yoh quickly follow Anna into the corridor that led to the bedrooms. The girls giggled at the thought of what the Shaman King and Queen might do there.

Len and Pilica

"Well, it looks like Anna's side of the plan is working," Pilica commented.

"Pilica!" Tamora shouted, astounded at the thought.

"What! It's not like she didn't want him to follow her to her bedroom!"

"Yes but- Nevermind!" she shouted. They boys were approaching the back door, and they had to put the next phase of the plan into action. Tamora quickly ducked into the hall, intent on finding the stairs to the kitched, where her subject Trey was sure to visit.

Pilica, on the other hand, continued through to a room with a great big TV.

---

"So now we need something that'll capture Len's attention," Anna said thoughtfully, putting a hand to her chin.

"Oh!" Jun said. "I know! And it happens right around the time that you'll be putting up the plan. Len always watches this TV show, every morning! It's like his addiction to milk!"

"Really?" Pilica asked, excited.

"Yes! It's this Western detective show! Called... called... Oh! What is it called! It's about this er- obsessive compulsive detective!"

"Monk!" Pilica shouted. "I love that show! I watch it every day!"

"Well, you and Len'll make quite a pair!" Jun said happily. She would be glad to have this girl as a sister-in-law!

---

"Lesse," Pilica said, searching about the room for the remote control.

Finding it upon the seat, she heard the sliding door open with loud shouts. She hastily made to her pre-assigned position, stomach-down on the middle of the floor in front of the TV, "inadvertantly" showing her practically bare back.

Len pushed Trey out of his way and made for the glass door again. Both were fighting to get in the house first and after their object of affection. He finally flung the door open, leaping inside before Trey could retaliate.

"DUDE! What was that for!" Trey shouted, getting up off the concrete path that lead to the hot spring.

"That was so I could get into the house!" Len said, immediately getting up and heading away from Trey to go find Pilica.

"Hey!" Trey said, finally figuring out where he was going. "You stay away from my sister!" he shouted. Then his attention was caught by a lovely smell coming from the kitchen. Licking his lips, he forgot all about Len and went, as planned, to follow his nose to Tamora's location.

Len, however, was captivated by something else. It was the theme song to one of his favorite shows. Inwardly, he thought that an obsessive-compulsive detective was hysterical! But being the person that he is, he'd watch the show in silence, letting out a few chuckles here and there.

He followed the sound, hearing it get louder at the end of the hall.

What he found there, was not just his TV show.

His eyes fell immediately to Pilica. Her long azure hair was swung to one side, showing the tan skin of her back and really driving home the fact that the tankini, wet tankini, she was wearing only covered half of her upper body. Her lower body was also mainly exposed, the short bottom of the bathing suit only covering what it needed to.

He felt a irrefutable blush rise to his cheeks for the first time in her company.

Gulping and forcing his eyes away from her, he tried to turn his attention to the TV, where it belonged.

"Oh, Hey, Len!" she said, pretending to notice him for the first time. In reality, she had known he was there the whole time. She could feel his eyes boring into her, studying her from her position. The blush that rose to her cheeks would not be denied, so she allowed him to study her for a few more seconds, to calm the blush, before she broke his concentration.

Len cursed her. He was making progress upon looking at the TV, and then she had to go and talk to him, forcing him to look at her, or otherwise be rude.

"H-h-hello, Pilica," he said back.

Pilica smiled inside. He'd stuttered.

"Do you watch this show?" she asked him, indicating the TV.

"Yeah," Len said, a hand behind his neck. "Actually, I watch it every morning,"

"Really!" Pilica asked, getting up to kneel, but leaning so that the fabric of her bathing suit fell beneath her and exposed her stomach. "Me too!"

His blush didn't escape her notice.

She smiled at him, patting the space beside her, indicating for him to sit down.

He obliged, but not before redenning considerably at the closeness of their bodies.

Pilica turned her attention back to the TV where the episode was just starting after a short commercial break.

His eyes, however, were still inconspicuously on the girl next to him.

"I like his new assistant, do you?" Pilica said, turning her head and "catching Len in the act" of staring at her. She blushed.

"What? Oh! Yeah," Len said, embarassed at being caught.

"Len?" she asked. "Are you blushing?"

"What! Of course not, woman! I don't blush!"

"HA!" she laughed. "I think you are!" she said, poking him in the side.

Len twitched. She's "found" his tickle spot.

"Oh!" Pilica said. "And he's ticklish too!" She poked him again.

"Whaa!" he shouted, falling to the floor. She followed him down, trying to get at his tickle spot again.

A great skirmish ensued, resulting in Len finding Pilica's tickle spot, which "coincidentally" happened to be in the same spot as his.

The result: A FULL FLEDGED TICKLE WAR!

(Use your imagination)

The results of this:

1) They missed half of the show, which had been planned.

2) They were red-faced and sweaty, which was inevitable.

3) Len was positioned on top of Pilica, stratling her stomach and his hands holding hers down above her head, which was definately NOT planned

They panted and stared at each other for many minutes following Len's astounding win of the tickle war. Had anyone walked in on them right then, he or she would have very many questions running through his or her head.

"...Uh," Pilica finally started, having been in the position for quite a while and starting to tire of Len's weight.

"Eep!" Len slipped, and quickly got off of her, retiring a yard away after.

Both blushed furiously, now sitting up, and trying to avoid the other's eyes.

But, as happens in these moments, both happened to glance at each other at the same time. But, instead of looking away, as is typical, their gazes held, each comforted by the fact that the other seemed to be in the same position that they themselves were in.

Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, Len lunged for Pilica.

Pilica, fully expecting this, as in a kind of spur-of-the-moment ESP, leaned backwards and let him bowl her over, making sure her lips came in contact with his.

Rolling and tumbling along the floor, a fight much like the tickle war broke out. Only this time, they were kissing instead of tickling.

Rolling recklessly over the floor, they kissed passionately and fervently as if they were afraid of being caught by their siblings, but still wanted to get out the same amount of longing in the shorter period of time. They knocked over short tables and chairs, nothing really of any value that couldn't be replaced. They rolled over the remote control, inadvertantly shutting off the TV.

Taking gasping breaths only when needed, they relentlessly went at each other, clinging and kissing as if their life depended on it.

Neither dreaded the bruises they would have the next morning, or the cleaning they would have to do after their little make-out session.

They were caught in the moment, and in each other.

But, dear readers, all good things have to come to an end...

... and this excursion did after they ran into the stand that was holding up the television and the piece of electronics almost fell on Pilica. Len caught it, however, shoving Pilica out of harm's way as he did so.

Len took his time placing the TV back on the stand. He wanted to let his face cool sufficiently before turning back to Pilica, otherwise he would be afraid of going after her again. What had they done? What would be the consequences? Sure, he had wanted it, but did Pilica?

Pilica was grateful for Len taking time to put the TV back up. Her mind was in a frenzy. She appreciated the time to cool her cheeks, though.

When Len finally turned back, his eyes met the steady gaze of Pilica.

"You saved my life," she said.

"Er- no problem," he said.

"But don't you want a reward?" she asked, taking control of the situation.

"You really don't have to-" he said, but was cut off by Pilica sealing her lips over his.

The kiss this time was not rushed or fervent. It was slow, but it still conveyed all the passion and love that their first had.

"...Wow," Len said, staring straight ahead.

"I take it this means that you like me?" she asked, already confident of the answer.

In response, he grabbed her arms and brought her up to his lips.

"Yep," she said when he released. "You definately like me,"

Len smiled for her.

She smiled in return.

They came together for another kiss.

Later that day...

"LEN! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIVING ROOM!"

TBC!

YAY! I hope you like it. I am pretty confident that Monk (which I don't own) isn't shown in Japan or China, but I couldn't think of anything else at the moment.

REVIEW PLEASE!

Next Chapter: Tamora and Trey... what DID happen in that kitchen?
