Disclaimer: Do I look like Miki Aihara? No, she's sorta Japaneseish and I'm only just… English.
I am so sorry for making Shinogu suffer through this!

Chapter Seventeen: Ryoki's Surprise!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shinogu!" Hatsumi exclaimed breaking the kiss and backing up.
"Hatsumi." Shinogu replied. He was confused. Hatsumi ran out. Shinogu sighed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean?" Hatsumi asked the nurse at the information desk.
"I mean that the doctors said he was fully recovered and released him. Either that or he ran away." The nurse replied, checking the computer records.
"But I just saw him last night…" Hatsumi replied.
"I'm sorry, my hands are tied. There's nothing I can't do." The nurse replied sadly.
"Let's just go sis." Akane confronted Hatsumi.
"Alright… at least he's safe, somewhere out there." Hatsumi chimed in sadly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my gosh!" Akane squealed.
"What?" Hatsumi asked, curious to why her sister was so happy.
"Look at this! Mom! Dad!" Akane exclaimed out.
"What is it sweetie?" Mrs. Narita asked.
They all arrived and looked over to what Akane was holding.

"Oh my god! 2 week vacation in GREECE! This is wonderful! We must R.S.V.P. right away!" Mrs. Narita replied.
"When is it?" Hatsumi asked.
"March 1 to 14!" Akane answered.
"THAT'S ONLY A FEW DAYS AWAY!" Hatsumi yelled out.
"Hello? Hi Ryoki! Yes we just got your invite, and we like to let you know that we look forward to coming. Where do we meet you on March 1?" Mrs. Narita asked on the phone.
"Go to the Tokyo International Airport. Ask for Ryoki Tachibana and they will direct you there personally." Ryoki replied on the other line.
"Okay, thanks see you soon, bye!" Mrs. Tachibana replied.
"Bye! Enjoy your afternoon!" Ryoki responded then hung up.
"Well that's set… now everyone, get started packing!" Mrs. Narita exclaimed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Girls! Are you ready?" Mr. Narita yelled out.
"Yes!" Hatsumi replied.
"Almost!" Akane replied. She was struggling with the zipper of her luggage bag.
"Jeez Akane, what did you pack, a department store?" Hatsumi chuckled.
"Yeah." Akane giggled. She was still struggling with the luggage zipper.
"Here, let me help you. You sit on it and I'll zip it." Hatsumi voluntarily said.
"Thanks!" Akane replied and jumped up onto the top of the luggage.
"Girls hurry! Come have breakfast!" Mr. Narita replied.
"Done!" Hatsumi replied in triumph, and went out of the room towards the kitchen. Akane followed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is everyone here yet?" Mrs. Tachibana asked Ryoki.
"No, we still have to wait for the Yagis, Naritas, Changs, and Parks." Ryoki answered.
"Ok, what's the time?" Mrs. Tachibana asked again.
"5:55 A.M." Ryoki answered.
"Gosh, only 20 hours to go…" Mrs. Tachibana groaned.
"Mother, are you forgetting we're in our airplane?" Ryoki reminded her.
"Yes…" Mrs. Tachibana groaned once more and went off into her private room to take a nap.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 hours into the flight…
"No! C'mon let me win!" Akane begged Subaru.
"Nope! You won the last dozen rounds!" Subaru replied.
"Hmmm… honey, taste this it's purely heaven!" Mrs. Narita asked her husband, shoving him the mousse cake.
"I'm full, you can have it." Mr. Narita chuckled.
"Hatsumi, I can't wait to get to Greece soon!" Ryoki exclaimed.
"Why are you so excited Ryoki?" Hatsumi asked.
"Seeing you in a bikini!" Ryoki replied daydreaming of who knows what…
"Men!" Hatsumi sighed.
"He takes it into a round house punch! OH! And he misses! This will not do good for…" The TV blared out.
"Narita! Come over here and see this!" Mr. Park exclaimed, acting out the fight on TV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ahh… we're finally here, hmm… it looks so beautiful here!" Mrs. Narita replied, looking out the balcony of their room in the complex. They had the view of the ocean and the hills with the houses.
"I know! Hatsumi, you ready to go to the pool yet?" Akane asked, in her pink bikini with cherries and wearing a pair of really short boy shorts. She was carrying a tote bag, which was just plain beige and simple, and inside was a magazine, some sun block, and a towel. On her hair was a pair of big black shades. Her hair was split into 2 ponytails.
"Help! Which color should I wear? The rainbow paisley one or the yellow one with the monkeys?" Hatsumi asked, wearing a towel and holding up the two choices in both hands.
"Definitely the yellow monkey ones." Akane replied.
"Kay, gimme ten seconds!" Hatsumi replied and went back in the bathroom.
As promised, Hatsumi came out seconds later in the yellow monkey bikini. She had on beige boy shorts similar to Akane's and had her identical black sunglasses on. She had her hair up in a messy bun.
"Ready now?" Akane asked.
"Yes!" Hatsumi replied.
"Have fun, be back by 5!" Mr. Narita replied, sitting on the bed watching TV in a pair of Bermuda shorts and a tee shirt.
"No problem dad!" Hatsumi replied.
A couple of minutes later, the girls arrived at the pool. It laid ahead of them, basking in the warm sun and scattered chairs surrounding the edges. Some had umbrellas for shade, and some had none. In the pool already were Ryoki, Subaru, Asahi, and some other people in the complex.
"Hey guys!" Akane chirped.
"Hey Aka-" Subaru turned around to face her and when he saw her only in a bikini and really short boy shorts, he was gaping and stammering.
"Hi Subaru" Akane replied.
"Hi-hi Akane…" Subaru blushed.
"Hi Ryoki." Hatsumi replied, waving to him.
"Come in!" Ryoki smiled. The girls agreed and went over to a patio table with an umbrella and put their stuff there. They took off the boy shorts and jumped in. They did make a small splash, but it was nothing compared to what the boys did. They hopped out and went over to the diving board. One by one, they did a cannonball and soaked them all wet.
"God! Can you guys get any more immature than that?" Hatsumi squealed.
"Well there is one more thing…" Ryoki replied. He went over to Subaru and they whispered quietly. Then they sank to the bottom and swam over to the girls. Hatsumi and Akane were curious and before they could utter a word, they were pulled down by the boys. All underwater, Subaru pulled Akane close to him and kissed her, and Ryoki did the same thing to Hatsumi.
"Teenager love…" Mrs. Narita replied, watching them in the pool overt the balcony with Mr. Narita.

Aw who cares?
