Vacation for the High and Mighty
Disclaimer: I don't own Captain Tsubasa—I only own Kaede. Then again, I also borrowed the very wonderful poem that intrigued me.
Quick summary: Tsubasa and his best friends went on a 1 year vacation to the Philippines in high hopes of nice sandy beaches… Delicious delicacies… Hot babes… Kisses chocolates…But, what they found were glorious humor trouble! And with just one girl tagging wherever they go, it'll be insanely bothersome for their time!

Special Chapter 5: The Luau
The night air collapse around the beach area in a welcoming embrace whilst the cold wind swept along the dark shores that was engulfed by darkness. The four tall torches surrounding the pool area stood proudly towering everything.
Genzo proudly walked around like some obnoxiously conceited businessman, taking looks from butler to chef seeing if they've done their jobs well.
" Mr. Wakabayashi, sir." Called the head chef over.
Genzo looked up at the tall Filipino chef and blinked several times, wondering what's wrong. " Is the food edible…?" he asked nauseatingly.
The chef showed Genzo the dishes they were about to serve tonight. The humongous table shown different Filipino delicacies in different countries, Genzo, having no thought about the food that has been shown in front of him, decided to question each and every food.
" Urgh, what's that weird brown colored thing?" questioned a disgusted Genzo, pointing an accusing finger on the dish at the right-hand side of the table.
The chef, awfully perplexed at Genzo's knowledge of not knowing a single thing about Filipino dishes, said in a disturbed voice " That's adobong baboy, sir." his voice rose proudly " One of the most famous dishes of the Filipinos!"
" What about that big thing? Is that a pig?" he said once more looking at the 'thing' on the middle
The chef, still befuddled said " And that's lechon, sir. A juicy well-prepared pig that would very well fit any occasion anywhere! It's delicious fat, and hard but yummy skin puts this into the star-section of dining!"
After awhile, Genzo hurriedly went out, shock " What do these guys think they're serving?"
" Uhh, you're exaggerating it, Genzo. You haven't exactly tasted the food…" spoke a very familiar voice behind him.
He turned around and saw Kaede her hands akimbo, and her look, utterly dismayed. Genzo arched his eyebrow in thought.
" Sigh! Genzo! You looked at many of the most delicious dishes this country's ever made!" She yelled, clutching Genzo's collar, and not stressing the fact that she couldn't lift him up.
Genzo's eyes narrowed at her and he delinquently shoved her hands off him. " Get your hands off me, weakling!"
" How rude of you, Genzo!" barked Kaede out loud.
Genzo grinned widely, and replied " Instead of yelling at me like hell, why don't you find a partner for the dance later?"
" Well, then, lets see if our proud goalkeeper here still has something to boast about! I'll bet you'll find no one, and the chances of getting one are lower than negative one!" teased Kaede, eyeing Genzo humorously, seeing his quivering expression.
Genzo rapidly change his tune and replied proudly " Fine! You'll regret it when you see me crowded with fan girls, and you'd be BEGGING on your knees to be my partner!"
" Fat chance, Wakabayashi! That will never happen in a million years even if you're the last man standing in this universe!" she grinned wickedly facing Genzo.
Hyuga intentionally looked up at the stars, visualizing pictures of different constellations…
" Making up the white tiger in you, eh?" said the longhaired goalkeeper, looking up with him.
" No. I'm just looking." He pointlessly spoke " Say, what are the chances that you'd be running around, being tagged by insane fan girls, waiting to be asked out?"
Ken peered with great annoyance as he unintentionally saw a group of Pinays, giggling hysterically, 'hidden' behind the bushes. Hyuga gave Ken a what-are-you-waiting-for-just-run look. Ken shrugged and suddenly walked away in brisk fashion.
Just then, Hyuga remembered: This is a Luau… Isn't it…? And its got…dancing right?
He got up, straightened himself and looked for a partner. Oddly, why didn't Hyuga invite Maki in the first place? Why was Kaede the only girl in the demented trip?
He spotted a girl, about an inch short of his height. She was sitting down on the shore, her ebony brown hair tied back in a loose braided ponytail. Her skin was delightfully 'kayumanggi' (brown). And her eyes were dimmed literally by the dark. Her clothes were short brown shorts with numerous pockets, a sailor top with a red bow, and he can somehow make up the physical uniqueness of feminine muscles, smooth skin, and perfect structure. It all rounds up to somewhat like a person he knew who was back in Japan…
At first, he urged himself to approach, and before he knew it, he was only a few feet away from her. He lightly coughed a 'ahem' and the girl immediately turned to look.
Hyuga looked impressively at the girl and said " Can you speak English?"
The girl frankly chuckled a bit and replied " Yeah, ano ang kailangan mo sa'kin, foreigner?" (What do you need from me, foreigner?)
Hyuga made a thoughtless expression that made the girl burst laughing, Hyuga followed laughing at his self. " I think that meant a yes."
" Ofcourse! I'm from the city." Said the girl " Are you part Filipino? 'Cause to me, you look like one."
Hyuga shook his head and said " I'm Japanese, Kojiro Hyuga."
The girl ironically looked at Hyuga and said " Kojiro, from the Japan Team? You guys are pretty famous here. I didn't even expect myself talking to one of them! I'm Theresa. I'm a varsity player at swimming."
Hyuga suddenly remembered what he was going to say. " Hey Theresa."
The varsity swimmer curiously looked at him "Yes, Kojiro?"
" You see, there's a Luau and I want to invite you." Said Hyuga drolly, making Theresa feel in a lopsided smile.
" Aren't you pretty straightforward… Feels to me that you aren't the romantic guy, eh?" snickered Theresa making Hyuga feel awkward inwardly. " But, yeah sure. I like that kind of guy! Always headstrong, and respectful."
Takeshi instantaneously finished his simple cocktail and felt Sorimachi disappear. He looked around and suddenly yelled in thought 'Darn it! Where are you, Sorimachi!'
He ran around the pool, searching in every nook and cranny for Sorimachi, as he started to feel a stifling feeling inside him. " Sorimachi! Where are you?"
He quickly ran indoors and snuck in every door he saw. While running, he pondered ' I wonder where he's gone to! Hyuga's disappeared and so did Ken. Well, I just saw Ken awhile ago running away from the mob..'
Bump!
Without knowing, Takeshi bumped—something small. He caressed his chest and heard a slight groan coming from the person.
" Oh gosh," Takeshi apologized innocently " I'm so sorry!"
His eyes widened, when he saw a small girl, whom he probably thought was ten years old. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and she was caressing her head. She had black hair with beautiful streaks of violet and purple; she has bangs that separated on the middle. Her skin was fairly white and fragile looking.' Is she a Filipino?' thought Takeshi, his eyes roaming at her.
All of a sudden, the girl's eyes flew open and her face blushed a dark crimson. She mumbled loudly" Patawarin mo po ako…" (Please forgive me…)
She stood and twiddled her fingers shyly, her eyes looking up and down a Takeshi. Takeshi rubbed his head and said with a hint of question" Are you Filipino?"
The girl's eyes met Takeshi's and unexpectedly she blushed once more, looking down and said in a shy tone " Half Filipino and half Chinese… I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching…"
" No, it's my fault." Quickly said Takeshi, hoping that he wouldn't upset the girl. " I was looking for my friend."
Suddenly the girl said "… I think I just saw your friend pass this direction awhile ago."
Takeshi smiled broadly and clasped the girl's hands together " Thanks!"
The girl bit her lip, as she felt Takeshi's warmth spread in her. Takeshi all of a sudden turned slightly pinkish and ran. He waved a hand signaling a goodbye.
As he ran passing a right turn, the girl muttered sadly " I never told him my name…"
Tsubasa flickered his feet on the Olympic-sized swimming pool, beside him was Taro, who's quietly sipping on his drink.
" Do you have a partner for the dance, Taro?" questioned Tsubasa out of the blue.
Taro looked at Tsubasa and said in an excellent jovial tone " Yup."
Tsubasa pouted and said " I don't have a partner yet! What dumb luck."
Taro laughed in reply " It's okay" he took another sip on his drink " You'll find someone."
" If only Anego or Yayoi was here…" mumbled Tsubasa splashing his legs in the water.
Suddenly, Tsubasa and Taro heard their names being called in the distance.
" Matsuyama and Yoshiko! What a pleasant surprise!" gasped Taro happily seeing the two if them, waving their hands and approaching him and Tsubasa.
When they were near, they quickly grabbed a seat sat with Tsubasa and Taro.
" We were with Kaede a while ago." Said Matsuyama while gesturing calmly for the waiter.
Yoshiko nodded her head and added " She told us about Genzo's Luau, she said Matsuyama and I are invited."
"Really? Well Genzo should know you and Yoshiko are here! But he's a bit busy." Said Taro as he finished his very tasty buko juice and now began to pick little pieces of buko sticking on his cup and ate it patiently. " You know, this is really tasty!"
Tsubasa then said with a rather lonely tone smothered in his voice " Small world, isn't it Matsuyama…"
" Huh? Are you sick or something Tsubasa?" questioned Matsuyama disturbingly, and wondering what's wrong with Tsubasa.
Taro shook his head and smiled " Nope, he's just sad because he doesn't have a partner for the dance."
Suddenly, he felt a soft punch coming from the Nankatsu captain, signaling Taro that he shouldn't have told them. After Matsuyama and Yoshiko ordered their drinks, the four chatted for a while although Tsubasa hasn't been quite jolly to sit back and talk.
" Never mind the situation, Tsubasa. I never knew you could be this lonely without Sanae-san." Spoke Matsuyama amusingly, but quickly silenced by the expression on Tsubasa's face.
" I just want to have fun. But the only fun I recognize is soccer and my friends…" mumbled the Japanese prodigy out loud, only to find that Taro, Matsuyama and Yoshiko were staring at Tsubasa as if he was an alien.
" Anyway…" spoke Taro quite happily and bolted upwards " We should be going to the Luau! I think it's starting!"
The melancholic tension was replaced with gleeful and spirited air. The guests were completely excited and the energetic music boosted their enthusiasm. Among the noisy crowd, Ken, tried his very best losing those stamina-wicked fan girls who kept chasing him. He almost felt like he never had one country without a single fan…
' I wish they could just go away!' Ken thought ' if only…if…'
" HEY YOU BITCHES! GET YOUR OWN MEAT! THAT ONE'S A VIRGIN!" bellowed a very familiar voice, that involuntarily caught Ken's attention.
Kaede, with her arms rested on her slim hips, braved the crowd. If she was still at school, she could've gotten a P in conduct and a major offense in using profane languages. Solely to speak, she is safe.
The women, apparently disgusted by Kaede's profane mouth, turned tail and plotted to chase the longhaired goalkeeper when she's gone.
Ken, thinking this was a miracle caused by his angel, approached Kaede and thanked her formally.
" It was nothing… I thought I ought to do something to make up for upsetting you hours ago." muttered Kaede, her head slowly faced down on the floor.
Ken protested, his voice highly raised, filled with misunderstanding and guilt " No. I'm sorry for acting very blank…"
Suddenly, without even thinking, he forwarded his hand in front of Kaede in a simple will-you-dance-with-me gesture. Kaede, in return, chuckled sheepishly and to Ken's shock and depressing surprise, Kaede declined.
" Sorry, Ken." Kaede said, her voice somehow resonated in Ken's head " I'm with…"
Suddenly, a voice broke their moment of pressured time… " Hi, Ken! Kaede!" the speaker's happy tone of voice made Ken broke out into a mad fit inside his head, yet his exterior kept a tensed and tranquil look. If it wasn't for Ken's reflexes and demeanor, he could've strangled the speaker to death.
Taro, smiled at Ken then Kaede and spoke " Have you guys seen Genzo?"
" He's probably hunting for a partner out there." Snickered Kaede as she seemed thoughtless of Ken's inner reactions.
" Speaking of partner…" coughed Ken to Kaede, as he pointed Kaede to their discussion.
Kaede expressively mouthed an 'oh', but seeing the expression on Ken's face, she felt an agonizing pain in her. 'What have I done wrong…?'
She turned around and glanced one last look from Taro to Ken then spoke " I'm with Ishizaki. He asked me first. Knowing that he couldn't just catch a girl so easily, I just accepted."
Kaede walked briskly, hating to feel the burning feeling of Ken's empty gaze… Ken had the looks and the brains, but to Kaede, he wasn't perfect enough… HHHe doesn't have the emotions.
Ken watched Kaede leave, his heart burning for a desire to chase her, tell her how he feels and prove that he isn't an emotionless bastard. But, for the first time… he never followed his heart… He doesn't want to be dumped by Kaede. Knowing that she is angry with him.
The hours passed. Ken sat on one of the empty chairs, holding an unfinished drink in his hands. He often jingled it in front of him, but he was never fancied by its enthusiastic sound. And to even anger him some more, Kaede and Ishizaki were dancing at a place were his gaze always drifted to. Every time he does, he is very intrigued how Kaede was able to dance freely even after a heated talk with him.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm down. But the music broke his concentration every time. He decided to go back to his room for peace and quiet. As he walked down the hallways, he caught sight of dark figures standing in it but to his mistake, it was just things, casting horrible shadows.
When Ken entered his room, it sealed down the noise, making it entirely possible for him to scream his tonsils out. He had second thoughts; he didn't want to do anything inhumane or crazy as to even slash himself crazy or drown in self-depression in the bathroom.
Ken as simple as he is, got a chair and small table from a corner and faced it outside where he could see everyone having fun dancing. He felt very left out but it was okay to him as long as he won't face his insane fans…
He crouched and his thoughts drifted on his everyday problems. The thought of his left shoulder made him shudder terribly. And then the thought of being declined by Kaede doubled his misery.
I want to sleep… I want my thoughts to leave me alone… I want peace…I want silence…After seizing the pain, he succumbed into deep slumber.
" Ken…?"
" Are you okay…?"
A voice echoed and his eyes flew open and to his surprise, Kaede was there.
" Kaede?"
"Shh. Just sleep… You're very tired…"
" Wait… I want to tell you…"
" Yes?"
" That I… I…"
" I what?"
Suddenly, his eyes blurred at the wrong time.
He was very much awake, for the sun shone its rays on his face. And for a while, he thought it was real. But it was a dream.
" Darn it!" he mumbled out loud.
When he got a clear view of his surroundings, he was more than surprised… Kaede was in his room. She was there, sitting on another chair in front of him. Smiling serenely.
No way. Is it a dream? But… but…Ken smiled. He was very happy. He jolted out of his seat with outstretched arms, yawning as he felt heat rising in him.
" You look cute when you smile." A voice spoke under him.
Ken looked down and saw Kaede, smiling, her eyes half closed. " Were you here last night?"
Kaede too, slowly got up her seat and stretched. She spoke " Yes. I was worried when I found out you were gone."
" You heard me speak?" immediately asked Ken, his eyes eagerly beaming at Kaede.
Kaede arched her eyebrow and said " Speak?"
Silence yielded the two, as both simply gazed under each other's sight. Ken's eyes reflected the sun, which made Kaede feel warmth diving. But to her surprise, it wasn't the sun that did this. It was his feelings. " Kaede… If you didn't hear me last night… I don't care what barged into us today, but I…"
As if it was very much ill fated that very morning, the terrifically terrible SGGK barged in the room " Yo, breakfast's ready."
Ken shot a terrible eye on Genzo, Genzo in return glared daggers at Ken " Why the fuck are you looking at me like that?"
Kaede, hoping to avoid a fight yelled " OKAY! COME ON KEN! GENZO! WHY DON'T WE ALL GO DOWN FOR BREAKFAST?"
Everything was normal after last night. Genzo, seemingly proud of his self got a partner—loads of them, which made him boast that Ken isn't the only person who has the fans. Hyuga was happy, having someone to dance with is pretty much not his life, but at least he did. Ken was partly gloomy for not having the chance to tell Kaede, but is also very happy, knowing that Kaede forgave Ken. Sorimachi was actually walking at the seashore, looking at the unique fishes that pass by. Takeshi remembered the cute girl he saw last night and asked her to come with him to the Luau. Tsubasa entirely talked with Taro and her partner, to his happiness, both Taro and his partner doesn't like to dance. Ishizaki was just plain lucky that he got Kaede to dance with him.
Matsuyama and Yoshiko fancied themselves with dancing and eating, and they returned back to their rooms at midnight.
" So… Where are we going now?" asked Genzo to everyone sitting at the table.
Kaede, while chewing on her sausage, spoke " How about horse back riding?"
" Now really. Is that such a good idea?" spoke Hyuga taking a drink on his water.
" Yes. That sounds very spectacular." Spoke Ken, entirely to everyone, which made heads turn.
" Oh! I want to ride horses!" chuckled Taro as he finished his buttered toast.
" Ooh. But do you know how to ride horses?" teased Ishizaki to Taro.
"Aww… I don't know how to ride a horse!" whined Takeshi outloud.
" You could maybe ride with Hyuga." Suggested Tsubasa eating his twelfth kisses chocolate.
Genzo, quickly stood up and said " Okay, then. We'll go horseback riding! And let's ask our ex-flight attendant for directions."
Kaede raised her eyebrow and replied " Oh fine fine. Promise me that next time don't you act like a leader by standing like that! You creep me out with your strange antics."
Genzo released a stressed grunt and quietly sat down.
