Disclaimer: Yo look, I was da off da cellie talking with some big dawgs, they say no takin' something callin' Hot Gimmick or they shoot a cap in my ass and take away my crib… yo phat dawg, whats a dawg to do? Agree 'course!

Literal translation: Hello, look I was off the phone with some big bosses and they said I shouldn't be claiming for what is theirs, which in this case is Hot Gimmick whom is owned by Miki Aihara, or else they would shoot a bullet in me and take away my home. Well duh, what am I supposed to do? Agree of course! (I'd like to thank a friend of mine for translating this… thanks!)

Big celebration for the big 2-0! Actually, you know what? The bigger celebration would be to finish and start my other fic… review and you'll get a cookie!

Chapter Twenty: In A Heartbeat

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Damnit, it's too tangled!' Hatsumi groaned in frustration. Ryoki was slowly blinking, his breathing becoming raspy and shallow. Ryoki rose his hand to her cheek, grazed it slowly, smiling and then he dropped his hand. He closed his eyes as he saw the light fade away to be replaced by the darkness…

'No! Hold on Ryoki!' Hatsumi begged. She didn't know what to do…

'What do I do? I can't get him loose, but he's running out of air! Unless…' Hatsumi thought to herself. She tore off her goggles and snorkel, leaned towards Ryoki and crashed down her lips to his. She pushed her lips past his lips and opened his mouth, giving him her air that she was holding in her mouth. Passing the air back and forth Ryoki's eyes started to flutter open slowly.

Hatsumi grabbed Ryoki's ankle, and ripped the net forcefully, and finally it broke free. Hatsumi pulled him up from the bottom and pushed him towards the surface of the ocean.

"Ha…Ha… Thank… you… Hats…umi…" Ryoki panted, treading on the surface.

"You…'re… wel…come…." Hatsumi replied, panting heavily doing the same.

"I don't think I've ever had a better kiss than that one…" Ryoki replied, smirking at her.

"Do you want to go back now?" Hatsumi replied, shrugging that last phrase off.

"Do I ever!" Ryoki chuckled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahh, fun in the sun… what do you say to trying out that slide?" Akane asked, pulling her sunglasses down and glancing at the humungous slide in the pool.

"You're joking right?" Subaru replied.

"No! Come on! Let's go!" Akane replied, taking off her sunglasses and putting them down on the beach chair.

"Akane… please let me stay here…" Subaru whined.

"Trust me you'll love it!" Akane replied, flashing a wink and a sexy glare. They climbed up several stairs and pathways. Finally, they arrived at the opening. It was huge, and it looked like a big whale's mouth that was ready to suck them in.

"Ready? We're allowed to go together!" Akane cheered. She sat down, waiting for Subaru to come.

"I know I'm going to regret this…" Subaru sighed and sat down, letting his legs wrap around Akane's and tucked his arms around her waist. She held on to his legs.

"Ready?" Akane asked. Subaru looked at the light, and it turned green.

"Ready." Subaru replied. With a push, they went in.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" they both screamed as they went past twists and turns, flashing lights and complete darkness with the wind gushing in their faces. Finally they stopped with a splash at the bottom, outside into the pool.

"That was so much fun!" Subaru exclaimed.

"You? You actually like it and you're not hesitant anymore?" Akane chuckled.

"Want to go again?" Subaru asked.

"You bet! Race you to the top!" Akane giggled and ran. Akane knew that once Subaru got into something, you could never get him to stop and that was why her plan worked.

"I appreciate you helping me to my room." Ryoki thanked Hatsumi.

"No problem so are you okay?" Hatsumi asked.

"Yeah… I mean not really…" Ryoki answered, trying to hide his evil smirk.

"What?" Hatsumi asked curiously.

"I'm not feeling really well… could you help me to my bed please?" Ryoki asked glancing at the king sized bed across the huge room.

"Sure!" Hatsumi agreed and let Ryoki's arm go over her shoulders and let him put his weight on her. She finally carried him to the bed and helped him lay down on it.

"Thank you." Ryoki replied.

"No problem I should go because you really need the r-" Hatsumi talked on before Ryoki crashed his lips on hers.

"Mmph…" Hatsumi moaned. He pushed his tongue to go through that small crease in between her lips. Hatsumi felt this and opened her lips more; Ryoki took this as a yes and went in. Their lips clashed, begging for domination against one another. Ryoki swiveled his tongue against her tongue, her teeth, and her mouth. Hatsumi loved every second of it.

Finally they had to break for air and they stopped.

"That was… great." Hatsumi replied blushingly.

"You're so cute when you're blushing!" Ryoki smiled, looking at her cheeks which were beet red.

"Thanks…" Hatsumi replied sarcastically.

"What?" Ryoki asked, sensing there was more to come from Hatsumi.

"What was that for?" She asked him, referring to the kiss they just had.

"A little thanks for saving my life." Ryoki replied.

"You're welcome, however; you have to go and rest! Same for me so I'll see you later bye!" Hatsumi replied, walking out of the bedroom.

"Bye!" Ryoki replied, and then plopped back down on his king sized bed. He tore off his clothes except for his blue striped boxers which he left them on, and after much frustration with the bed blankets he finally got them out. He went inside the bed and laid the blankets over him. Sighing, he fell asleep.

"Where are you going?" The lady asked.

"Athens, in Greece." Shinogu answered.

"Ok, can I please see your ticket?" The lady asked again. Shinogu nodded and took it out of his pocket.

"Ok, you'll be sitting in B7, first class." The lady replied, looking at the computer records.

"That's fine with me. Where do I drop off my luggage?" Shinogu asked.

"Right here, bring them up onto that weight scale next to me." The lady answered pointing to it next to her desk. Shinogu lifted his luggage up and plopped them on the weight scale. After checking the weight, the lady accepted it and began putting tags on both of Shinogu's luggage. Then she clicked something on the computer and then it began printing.

"Here you go sir. Have a nice flight!" the lady replied, beaming a smile and handing Shinogu the ticket.

"Thank you very much Madame." Shinogu replied politely then walked farther inside the airport. No matter what happened, he was going to enjoy it no matter what – because this was his well earned vacation.
