A/N: And here is the next chappie! I hope you enjoy it… Oh yeah, this chapter is set on vacation, which is three weeks after last chapter.
The More You Hate, the More You Love
"Okay… so how do we go to the beach?" Ginji asked. They were at making plans at Kazuki's house that evening.
"I can get one of the drivers to drive us there." Kazuki replied.
"Okay, so that's solved. Has everybody prepared what they have to bring?" Ginji asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
"Okay, so everything's settled! How about we leave tomorrow at five a.m.?"
"Okay!" Everyone then prepared to go out, but Kazuki spoke up. "How about if you guys sleep over? We have a lot of guest rooms you can sleep in. Besides, it will be less effort for my driver coz he won't have to stop by everyone's house."
"Okay, good idea!" Kazuki then led Ginji to a guest room. When Kazuki led Juubei to one, he said, "But every time I stayed here we always slept together, so why don't we do it again this time?"
Kazuki sneakily glanced at Emina, who was glaring at him. "Well, I don't think it will be proper."
"Yeah, Juubei." Emina spoke up. "Who ever heard of two guys sleeping on the same bed?"
"Well, I don't care. I wanna sleep with you!"
"Oh, fine. Do whatever you want." Juubei then went to Kazuki's room, leaving Emina and Kazuki behind.
"Here, Emina-san. This way." Kazuki walked ahead of Emina.
"How far have you two gone?" Emina suddenly asked out of the blue. Kazuki stopped in his tracks and faced her.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean. How far have you two gone?"
"Well… we just kissed…"
"Hmmm… I'll have you know, I won't lose to you, Kazuki. He'll love me and no one else. I'll make him love me so much that he'll forget who you are."
"Well, we'll just see, won't we? By the way, here's your room. Call the maids if you need anything else." Kazuki then walked away. Emina entered the room and shut the door. She used the phone to call home.
"Hello, Kanae? Yes, can you bring my beach bag over Kazuki's house? We'll be leaving straight from here. Yeah, thanks. Oh, and there's a vial in a pink case in my bedside drawer. Can you bring that too? Okay, thanks." Emina put down the phone and grinned evilly to herself. You'll be out of my life forever, Kazuki… Just you wait, my Juubei. You're all mine!
After about five hours, they finally arrived at Kazuki's family's villa. A maid guided the guests to each of their rooms. Then, trouble broke in the form of Juubei.
"Can't I just room with you?" Juubei asked sweetly while putting an arm around Kazuki's shoulder, much to Emina's annoyance.
"I'm afraid not. Besides, there are a lot of rooms in the villa, so I think it's more appropriate for you to have your own room."
"Okay then. But can I at least have the room beside yours?" Juubei pleaded. Emina's eyes began to narrow dangerously.
"It's your choice. If you don't want the room where the maid directed you, you can always change anytime."
"It's settled then!"
Emina then stomped to her room and locked the door. She brought out the small pink vial from its case and proceeded to the kitchen.
"Excuse me, but would you mind very much if I prepared the tea myself? I'm bored and I don't want to do anything else, so can I please do it?" Emina asked the maid in the kitchen sweetly.
"No, ma'am. You're a guest in this house. We were hired to do such things."
"But I'd like it very much if my friends tasted the tea I made. I'm really good at it and I won't make a mess, so please? You can bake the cookies that will go with it."
"Well, okay ma'am but please don't tell Kazuki-sama."
"Of course, I won't." In fact even if he does know, he'll never get the chance to do anything with you. Emina chuckled evilly inwardly.
After she prepared the tea, she opened the vial and put two drops of the liquid in one of the cups. She then set it aside on the counter and went to the back of the villa and to the garage. Unknown to her, another maid came in and put the cups of tea on a different tray! When she came in again to get the tea, she was devastated because she couldn't figure out what the right cup is. Oh my god. What if I gave the poisoned one to Juubei? Or what if I drink it myself? Oh well… I'll just throw it all out and make a new one. She checked the vial. Shit! I only have a drop left! But that's fine. It will be enough to make him very sick… She then threw the previous stuff out and made a new batch.
She then went out with the tray of tea and cookies. She called everyone to the living room.
"Hey, guys! Let's have some tea!" When everybody was seated, she put the cups down in front of each one of them. Kazuki became very suspicious.
"How come you're not pouring it from a tea pot?" Kazuki asked.
"Well, I just figured it will be tiring. Anyway, why don't we drink it now?" Emina watched expectantly as Kazuki brought it closer to his mouth. After he drank all of it, he started nibbling on a cookie.
That poison won't take effect until late after lunch, so there will be no way that anyone would suspect me. Emina grinned triumphantly to herself.
"Hey, how about we go swimming?" Ginji asked his friends. All of them agreed.
A few minutes after Kazuki got into the water, dizziness began to overcome him. What's happening? My vision is becoming blurry… My body feels so heavy… I'm… sinking… Kazuki felt so tired and heavy that he could not shout! Luckily Juubei saw him sinking fast and jumped into the water to save him. A few minutes later, he hauled him to shore and began to administer CPR, with Ginji and Emina running to them.
"Oh my god! Whatever could have happened?" Emina said worriedly with a hint of mock in her voice.
"I don't know. I tried giving CPR to him, but he won't wake up. His heart is beating, though."
"We have to call a doctor!" Ginji then ran inside the house. Emina grinned evilly in his direction. Unfortunately for you, I have everything planned out, Ginji. I made this perfect plan so Juubei will be all mine.
Ginji came running a few minutes later. "It's weird, but it seems like the phone wires have been cut."
"What?! Well, in that case, I'll go get the car and drive to town." Juubei then ran to the direction of the garage. Ginji watched over an unconscious Kazuki.
"What about the cellphone?" Ginji shouted to Juubei's distant running figure.
"We don't have reception in this place!" Juubei shouted back.
"Why don't we bring him inside, Ginji-san?" Emina offered with fake concern.
"Okay." After Kazuki was brought in and laid down on the couch, Juubei came in a few seconds after them.
"Bad luck seems to be on our side today. The tires had holes in them."
"What? Wait… I remember! When we last came here Kazuki said something about the extra tires being in a shelf in the garage. Maybe it's still in there! If not, then we can ask the maids for an extra tire."
"Good idea! I'll need a hand, Ginji. Emina, can you watch over Kazuki for a while?"
"Huh? Oh, ah, sure." Damn it! My perfect plan down the drain! Why didn't I think of the spare tires?
She then hovered over Kazuki's unconscious form. "It's all your fault, Kazuki. But I promise you, he'll be mine. And you'll be out of the picture." Emina whispered indistinctly to Kazuki. Ginji came in a few minutes later.
"Juubei drove to town to get a doctor. He'll be back in an hour."
"Oh, is that so?" I hope he'll take longer! Emina whispered to herself.
"Huh? Did you say something, Emina-san?" Ginji curiously asked.
"Er, ah, n-nothing at all…" Emina nervously answered.
Sure enough, after an hour Juubei was half dragging the doctor inside the house. The doctor then examined Kazuki for a few minutes.
"Did he eat anything weird? Perhaps something he's allergic to?" The doctor asked everyone present.
"None that we can think of. He drank tea and ate cookies for breakfast, like all of us, and he ate the same lunch we did." Juubei replied.
"Well, judging from the symptoms, I have reasons to believe that he's been poisoned."
"POISONED?!" The three exclaimed in unison, though in Emina's case it's all an act.
"Yes, and he could have gotten the poison from the food you ate. If not, well… I think he might have been stung by something in the sea."
"What will happen to him, doctor?"
"He needs to stay in the hospital for about a week in order for him to be cured."
"A week? I can wait that long…" Juubei said, relieved.
"Well, do we need to bring him to the hospital now?" Ginji asked.
"Yes." Juubei then carried Kazuki to the car. Emina, Ginji, and the doctor filed inside the car while Juubei drove.
Once they got to the hospital, Ginji immediately called Kazuki's mom on his cellphone.
"Hello, Mrs. Fuuchoin? Yes, well, it's bad news. Kazuki got poisoned. Well, we don't really know. Okay, I'll let you know. Goodbye."
"What did she say?" Juubei asked after Ginji had finished talking with Kazuki's mom.
"Well, she's kinda out of the country now, and as soon as she gets back she's gonna check on him."
"Oh, okay then. I'll watch over Kazuki." Juubei determinedly declared.
"What? But Juubei, you can't possibly do-" Emina started to protest, but Juubei interrupted her.
"I'll do anything for the most important person to me. I can't bear to lose the one I love. If you want to go home, you can. But I am not leaving Kazuki alone." To emphasize his point, he grabbed a chair and sat beside Kazuki's hospital bed.
"Fine, then. Ginji, can you bring me home?" Emina asked exasperatedly.
"Sure." Emina then stomped out of the hospital with Ginji following behind. Damn it! Why didn't I foresee this? But I refuse to give up! As I've said before, I'm not losing to an effeminate guy! Emina then climbed the car, all the while thinking of a 'Plan B'.
