Chapter 4 – The First Hectic Day at Camp
Ichigo and Ryou made it on time to Café Mew Mew and all the other Mew Mews were already there. They worked together to put everything in to the bus and were leaving by the time it was 9:15. The ride to the camp was just plain BORING. They had nothing to do, except for Pudding who attempted to do her tricks while on a moving bus. After awhile of entertainment from Pudding, they resorted to watching out for when they could get a glimpse of the camp. Even Pudding stopped trying to do her tricks after many failed attempts. Instead, she entertained herself by asking Ryou and Keiichiro the same question almost every two minutes. Between the "Are we there yet?" (Asked by Pudding) and the boredom, Ichigo almost fell asleep.
Suddenly, "LOOK! There it is!" said Rettasu. And indeed, it was right there. The bus was still far from the camp but they could make out a big wooden cabin and beyond that cabin there was a lake. As they got closer and closer, they could also see several small cabins a little bit away from the big one. Among all these cabins were several trees planted in to the dirt grounds that covered what seemed to be the whole area. But now that they were closer, at a point the dirt ended and beyond that, near the lake, the ground was covered with gravel. The lake was breath taking. The lake itself was shining in the sun's reflection and it even had a wooden dock to jump off of.
The bus stopped and let the seven people get off.
"This is picturesque don't you think Zakuro?" Mint asked.
"Hm…" Zakuro replied coolly but her expression said otherwise.
"Wow….this is incredible." Rettasu whispered.
"Is this where we're staying na no da?" Pudding yelled while jumping up and down.
Ichigo was just plain speechless. She could not utter out a word.
Ryou walked next to Ichigo and asked, "So what do you think?"
Ichigo turned to Ryou and said so quietly that Ryou had to lean in to hear, "It's really wonderful and beautiful…"
Ryou smiled and replied, "Glad you like it."
"Come on Ichigo! Let's go!" Keiichiro was beckoning Ryou and Ichigo to go to the main big cabin. The other Mews Mews seemed to have gone in there already.
Ryou started walking and noticed that Ichigo was still staring at the amazing view of the lake. "Hey Ichigo, are you coming?"
Ichigo snapped out of her trance. "Oh yeah. I'm coming!" She stole one more glance at it and then left.
Inside the cabin, there were numerous long tables spread out everywhere. This appeared to be where they would be eating their meals. Keiichiro and the rest of the group were at the front where they seemed to be waiting for Ichigo.
Ichigo hurried to the group and Keiichiro started to talk. "The cabin we're in right now is the mess hall and if you didn't already guess, this is where we will eat our meals. The cabin to the right side of the mess hall…." he stopped to point it out to the Mews through the window. "… it will be for the girls. It has five beds in that particularly cabin so it will fit all of you guys. And the small one on the left side…" he stopped again to point it out. "…will be for Ryou and me. Of course since there is only the two of us, we will have more room. The cabin off to the side right there near that tree…" he pointed yet again to the cabin. "…will be the shower. Each cabin already has a washroom where there is only a toilet and a sink so if you wish to shower, you will have to use the cabin that I just pointed out."
Keiichiro continued to explain that they would have to be taking turns doing the chores around the camp, like cooking and cleaning. But aside from that, they could do anything they wanted. The rules were next, curfew was at 11 and they had to wake up at 8 in the morning to get breakfast. But if you were on cooking duty, you would have to wake up at 7 to get everything ready.
"Now, I will announce your chore partners. Pudding, you will be with Mint."
"Yay! I'm with you Mint na no da!" Pudding shouted and glomped Mint.
"Darn…I was hoping to be with Zakuro." Mint muttered.
Keiichiro continued. "Rettasu, you will be with me and Zakuro. And…that leaves Ryou with Ichigo."
"WHAT? I am NOT working with him." Ichigo yelled while pointing at Ryou in disgust.
"KEIICHIRO! You know I specifically asked you NOT to pair me up with her for chore duty!" Ryou yelled out of frustration and then he realized what he said. He went a little red in the face. "Because….I can't work with her…" Ryou finished.
"Huh? What did you say Ryou?" Ichigo asked. She was pretty sure she had heard wrong.
"Uh…nothing. I just said I don't want to work with you."
"You asked Keiichiro to NOT put me with you?" Ichigo was really hoping that she heard wrong.
Ryou could not bring himself to answer. There was an awkward silence between the two where Ichigo glared at him and Ryou stayed silent. "Okay! Let's get our stuff from outside and unpack them! We still have to eat lunch so hurry up!" Keiichiro shouted to break up the silence.
Mint and Rettasu took a reluctant Ichigo outside to get their stuff and head to their cabin while Pudding and Zakuro followed.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?" Ryou whispered as soon as they were gone.
Keiichiro replied smiling, "You'll have to show your feelings sometime Ryou."
"Hmph." Ryou replied and left to go outside too.
Lunch in the Mess Hall…
After unpacking everything and getting settled down, everybody was STARVING. Keiichiro had volunteered to make lunch but in exchange for it, Ryou had had to unpack Keiichiro's stuff.
"Mmmmm this is delicious Keiichiro." Rettasu said in between bites of her sandwich.
"I have to agree with Rettasu, this is excellent!" Ichigo agreed while sipping on her clam chowder soup. (A/N: YUM! It's my favourite:)
Ryou was still grumpy that he had had to unpack his partner's stuff. "Yeah yeah. Of course it's delicious. He didn't even have to unpack his stuff!"
"Na no da! What's wrong with Shirogane-san na no da?" Pudding was still young and didn't understand Ryou's grumpiness.
"C'mon Ryou! Fine…why don't we all go for a swim after lunch?" Keiichiro wanted to make Ryou feel better.
Ryou was being stubborn and plainly said, "No."
Keiichiro smiled anyway and whispered to the other girls, "That means he wants to."
After lunch…
"COME ON RYOU! The water's great!" Ichigo yelled. She and everybody else had already gotten in the lake and was having fun splashing each other. Ryou was the only one that stayed fully dressed and sat on the gravel watching them have fun.
Keiichiro got out of the lake and walked over to Ryou. "Come on Ryou. You'll have fun, I promise. Besides, don't you want to have fun and splash water at your strawberry?"
Ryou got mad at this. "She's NOT mine!" he yelled, maybe a little bit too loud because the next minute, Ichigo and the mews came over.
"Who's not yours nya?" Ichigo asked while tilting her head.
Ryou blushed and replied, "No one."
Keiichiro, who was standing behind Ryou had an idea. He quickly showed the other mews, who were in front of him, his idea behind Ryou's back. They understood. Keiichiro counted 1, 2, 3 with his fingers to show them when to go and then he said, "GO!" The next thing that Ryou knew was that his friends were picking him up and heading towards the lake.
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN! What are you guys doing?"
"heh...if you're not gonna go by yourself, then you'll go into the lake by force." Keiichiro said and smiled.
"You think I'M heavy? You're heavier!" Ichigo asked while trying to hold his legs.
"You're heavy for a girl…" Ryou answered Ichigo. Then he realized that they were walking onto the dock already. "HEYHEY! Do NOT drop me into the water. I'm fully clothed! Hey hey….don't!" Ryou protested.
Keiichiro smiled and counted once again. "Ready girls?" The mews nodded. "1…2…3!" On three, they had dropped him into the water with a loud splash. Once Ryou emerged from the waters, he chased after anyone he could catch and splashed them. After awhile, he took off his soaked shirt and continued with the water fight.
He looks really cute when his hair's wet and when he's shirtless…Ichigo thought while watching him attempt to splash Keiichiro.
"Hey Ichigo! Don't just stand there! Ryou's coming!" shouted Keiichiro as he made his way to Ichigo. Finally she snapped out of it and ran or swam for it.
In the shower house/cabin…
"Wow I didn't expect us to play that long." Ichigo said to herself while she was in the bathtub. She had drawn herself a bath and was sitting, thinking to herself. Geez…Ryou really is hot when he only has shorts on. She continued thinking about these thoughts about Ryou when the door opened. She assumed it was Rettasu since she had asked Rettasu to bring her soap seeing as she had forgot it.
"Oh thanks Retta-" said Ichigo but the person in the doorway was NOT Rettasu.
End of Chapter.
Sakuya: X.X That was a long chapter.
Ryou: Am I really that hot when I'm shirtless?
Sakuya: Um….no? (Is lying)
Ryou: u.U Are you sure because apparently Ichigo thinks so.
Sakuya: Well…it's Ichigo…ANYHOO…Sorry. But I felt like making a cliffy and…I also thought this might be too long. Anyways, guess who walked in on Ichigo while she was bathing…although it is VERY obvious.
Ryou: I KNOW WHO IT IS! It's…(Muffled sounds came from Ryou because Sakuya's hand is now over Ryou's mouth)
Sakuya: SHHHH! Don't tell them! (Places tape over Ryou's mouth)
Ryou: Mmmmmm! Mmm!
Sakuya: (Smiles Evilly) And you will stay that way until the next time I update this. Muhahah:D
Ryou: MMMMm!
Sakuya: Think he said PLEASE review :D And yes please do!
