Hime: Hello everybody! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long! It's really hard to juggle life when you're studying for a diploma and a committed school club member like me! Anyways, thank God for school holidays ne? (even though it's only a bloody week)
On with the story! *pumps fist in the air*
I do not own anything!
Amber awoke the next morning earlier than usual which was strange because it was a school holiday for her but the young witch didn't want to be pestered anymore by her teammates regarding her behavior the day before so she decided that she just HAD to get out of the house.
Later that morning..
Kukai, Tadase, Rima, Nagi, Yaya, Kairi, Ikuto and Utau were all at the beach, starting on their picnic breakfast due to Yaya's constant pleading for a reunion. She insisted that it was important to take full advantage of the school holiday.
"This is nice, we should do this more often" Tadase says, taking another bite of his egg sandwich.
Rima scowled, "Yeah maybe but not at the beach again? I hate the sand getting on my feet!"
"You whine too much" Nagi tells her, taking another sip of his drink.
With that, the two began their usual banter making everybody else sweatdrop.
Those two…
"Ano...minna!"
Thankfully, the two stopped arguing and joined the others in giving Kairi their attention. Oddly enough, he was fidgeting and his face was as red as a lobster which was very unlike him to look so anxious.
"Inchiou, do you have a sunburn?" Kukai asked seriously, looking at his face.
Kairi turned even redder, "N-no! It's just m-me and Y-yaya-sempai w-wanted to-"
"-tell you guys that we're officially dating!" finished the pigtailed girl.
"Really?"
"Congratulations!"
Ikuto watched his sister and the Guardians congratulate the new couple as he enjoyed his chocolate ice-cream. He really wished Yaya wasn't so persistent in making him come because he wanted to go see Naomi.
Well at least I got a chocolate cone out it...
With a pang, the blue-haired man flinched as the memory of him and Amu sharing an ice-cream together appeared in his mind.
Damn it! She needs to get out of my head!
Suddenly, Tadase noticed a familiar figure emerging from the water, carrying a large pink surfboard, "Hey minna, isn't that-"
"-Naomi Knight?!" Rima finished, shocked.
The girl heard her name and turned causing Kukai to give a low whistle and Utau to whack him on the head.
Naomi looked adorable, she was wearing a pink and yellow checkered print bikini swimsuit that contrasted quite nicely against her tanned skin tone. Her long russet brown hair was pulled in a messy bun where strands of her wavy brown locks hung loose from it and wet from the sea. Her cheeks glowed a rosy pink and her pretty pink lips curved into a smile when she recognized the Guardians. She waved and walked towards them.
"Behave Kukai!" hissed Utau causing the others to snicker except Ikuto.
Ikuto got out of his lazy, laid-back position and sat upright as the beautiful girl came closer.
"Morning everybody, having breakfast I see?"
Nagi smiled, "Good morning Naomi-chan. Yes, a picnic breakfast would you like to join us?"
"Oh no, that's fine. Thank you for the offer though Fujisaki-kun" Naomi says, declining the offer politely.
Nagihiko nodded and out of courtesy, he took it upon himself to introduce the unfamiliar faces; Utau, Kairi and Yaya to Naomi. Naomi smiled warmly and politely nodded to them.
Throughout the introductions though; Ikuto watched, transfixed by Naomi's wet hair and the rivulets of salt water running down her face and dropping of her chin onto her breasts. The hormonal eighteen-year old followed the droplets down her body, across her flat stomach and into the top of her bikini bottoms. A strong urge made him wish he could follow that path with his tongue; maybe making a few detours on the way, Ikuto licked his lips, wondering how would the girl's taste be like. His midnight blue eyes roamed up her body again; his hunger, passion and want could be read in them clearly. Luckily, Naomi was sharp and caught him.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto, could you please stop eye-raping me?"
Everybody turned to Ikuto who looked slightly flushed at getting caught. Tadase was quick to save him from further embarrassment.
"I apologise Knight-san for my nii-san's behaviour."
Naomi pursed her lips, obviously unsatisfied but sighed in defeat.
"Whatever, I have to get going" she tells the group as she picks up her surfboard.
"Ah but-!"
"It's fine, Hotori-kun. I have to get going anyway" she says, tucking the board under her arm.
Without another word, the girl turned and left leaving the Guardians to themselves once again. It was silent until Utau smacked Ikuto on the head like she did with Kukai.
"Oww! What the hell Utau?!"
"Because of you, I lost a chance at becoming friends with her! She seemed cool!"
Rima rolled her eyes, "Do you really think a girl like her would want to be friends with someone like you?"
Utau scowled the remark and turned to glare at the small girl.
"I am a major pop star, every Japanese girl wants to my friend."
Rima snorted, "Yeah right!"
The two began to argue causing Kukai and Nagi to sigh.
Blondes…
As this went on, Tadase inched over to Ikuto to sit by him.
"Hey nii-san."
"Yes Tadase?"
"Do you like Knight-san because she reminds you of Amu-chan?"
Ikuto looked at Tadase in surprise, he did not expect the boy to so straight-forward with him.
"I-"
"It's not right nii-san. You can't just push your feelings onto her, you need to have genuine feelings for her."
Ikuto sighed at the younger boy's words. They were true but he didn't want to hear of it.
He was confused enough of his feelings already.
"By the way nii-san, you do know that you won't have any ice cream left if you're going to let it continue to melt in your hand right?"
Much later
Sato stopped jogging when he saw a familiar figure at the park's ice cream stand. He studied the brunette as she awaited her order. She was decked out in a pink and yellow checkered tank top and shorts set. On her feet, she wore cream chunky platform wedge heels. On her right hand, she wore an eerily familiar silver cross chain bracelet whereas on her left she wore an expensive white wristwatch.
Her order came, a chocolate cone. When she turned, that's when he saw her face.
"Naomi?" Sato asked aloud.
The girl looked up, hearing her name called and saw Sato coming toward her but when she noticed what he was wearing, her face flamed.
"S-sato...w-what are you w-wearing?"
"What?" asked the older teenager, he didn't hear her.
"N-nevermind!"
The handsome male before her was wearing a navy blue hoodie zipped up halfway and matching navy blue long pants. He wore Nike blue trainers on his feet. But what was bothering Naomi was the fact that she couldn't help be transfixed by Sato's sweat. Obviously tired from his jog, sweat pearled on the man's forehead and the usually controlled brunette watched as it slid down his cheeks onto his heaving gorgeous bod.
"-melting"
That was when Naomi realized that Sato was talking to her and she wasn't paying any attention.
"Uhmm-"
"Baka Kitsune!"
Without another word, the usually calm teenager took hold of the girl's wrist and extended her arm so that her ice cream was inches away from his face.
It was then when Naomi realized that her ice cream had been melting but before she could voice out her dismay, Sato began to take care of it.
He started to lick up the dripping ice cream on the cone without looking at it but his eyes solely on the girl in front of him which caused Naomi to go into shock, losing her ability to speak.
"Some has got on your hand. Let me."
Naomi gasped as Sato licked at the ice cream on her hand while again watching her reaction to him at the same time. She could feel her face heating up as his tongue teased her caught hand so she covered her tomato-red face with her free one.
"S-stop"
"Beg me" he taunted, smirking at her flaming face.
Naomi relented because she was sure she was going to be on the verge of a heart attack, "P-please s-stop, I b-beg you"
"Hn, well I took care of all the ice cream so I'm done" he let go and he watched as the flustered girl bring the ice cream cone to her chest and her eyes screwed shut.
"You better finish it up, you bought it."
Naomi nodded, opened her eyes and looked at him.
"W-why-?"
"Because you weren't paying attention to what I was saying. Don't daydream Kit."
Naomi flushed; ashamed until she saw Sato had hold his hand out to her, "Come on, let's go home for breakfast. "
Naomi nodded, the redness in her face fading and replaced with a shy pink blush on her cheeks as she took his hand in hers.
Sato smirked as he walked hand in hand with her back to their home whilst Naomi concentrated on finishing her ice cream quickly.
She really did not want Sato to take advantage of her like that again.
IT WAS WAY TOO EMBARRASSING!
