CHAPTER 2 : Kuga-ism.
It was one of those summer days where the weather was absolutely perfect. The sun cast of its rays in just the right way. Not too hot to scald your skin but not too cold that you couldn't feel its generous warmth. Simply put it was the ideal day to venture out to the big blue.
A vacation was the one thing Kuga Natsuki needed. She was an ordinary high school student. That said, she also had to deal with great amounts of stress. Every day she felt bombarded by constant tension from her alcoholic teacher and hassle from her overacting friends. So she decided to give a beach a shot. Her mother's beach house was just a few miles away from their school. 'Perfect,' Natsuki thought. 'I have a couple of weeks all to myself.' The biker smiled and slumped back on the couch placing her feet on the coffee table in front of her.
"Natsuki?"
"Hm?"
A voluptuous redhead walked around the kitchen and faced the blunette, "Do you have plans for the summer break?"
Natsuki felt the need to lie. It seemed that if she said anything about her 'relaxation' plans, it wouldn't go as she scheduled them. She glanced nervously at Mai. 'Darn. I can't lie to her. Can I?'
Before the Natsuki could answer, the aspiring chef spoke, "It's ok if you have plans, Natsuki. I mean, it's just several days, you know. Mikoto and I can take care of ourselves for a few of days." -and Mai executed the first step in her 'find-out-what-Natsuki-is-up-to' project-
"Uhm. I have nothing much planned. Really." The puppy fibbed.
"Oh"
-Silence, step two of 'find-out-what-Natsuki-is-up-to' project'-
Mai Tokiha went back to her cooking. Lunch time was soon to come and she was sure that Mikoto would arrive anytime now from her errands.
-More silence-
"Really Mai. Just a little relaxation time for me. You know."
"Mm-hm." The redhead bent down to look over the fridge for some lunch ingredients.
"I'm serious."
"I'm sure you are, Natsuki."
-Even more silence plus throat clearing commencing-
"ARGH! Alright already! -facepalm- I'm… I'm going to the beac-" Wolfie got cut off as the door swung open, revealing a hyperactive Mikoto followed by a 'too-busy-texting-to-notice-you-wimps' Nao and of course, the infamous Chie and her 'girlfriend', Aoi.
"Mai! I'm hungry!"
"Hai. Just wait a few more minutes, Mikoto, the food will be ready soon." She turned to the stove and started mixing. "You were saying, Natsuki?"
"Uh. Nothing."
"Oh, Come on, pup. What were you guys talking about? Is it that creep Takeda? Did he finally ask you out?" Nao teased.
"Shut up, spider! I wouldn't be seen talking to that shitface even if I were dead!"
-WHACK!-
"Natsuki! Language!"
"Tsk."
Chie whipped out her trusty cell phone and started recording, "What is it then? Is it anything film-worthy?"
"Natsuki and Takeda sitting by the tree." Nao sang. (a/n: nao zhang! nao sang! haha! clears throat. sorry.)
"Are you filming this? Is she- Get that thing of my face, Harada!" Natsuki swiped at the gadget, failing to grab it.
"Aw, pup's a little camera shy!"
"That's it! Argh!" The lone wolf tried to tackle Nao but was interrupted by a cheerful Mai.
"Food's ready!"
The wolf glared at the spider, "You shut up, spongehead! One more mention of that pervert's name and you are dead!"
Nao just couldn't let that one insult slip, "Bring it on, Dekochin(1)! Cause im gonna keep saying it! TA-KE-DA!!!"
-BOOM!-
The apartment door burst open and another redhead made her way into the room. "What is going on here!?"
"M-Midori-sensei!"
"The one and only!" The supposedly seventeen-year-old history teacher pried apart the sparring wolf and spider, "What are you two doing?"
"She started it!"
"The hell I did!?"
Mai set the table up, "Ano, Midori-sensei, what brings you here to our, uh, dorm?"
"I came to bring justice to these two bestfriends right here!"
"WE'RE NOT FRIENDS!" The fighting duo yelled at the same time
"That, and I was downstairs and I smelled something delicious." Midori sat at one of the chairs by the table, "I figured it had to be your cooking. You two better stop it cause its mealtime! Take a seat."
Natsuki huffed and dragged her ass to sit on the chair in the far end of the dining table and Nao did the same thing on the opposite side.
Mikoto then let out a huge "ITADAKIMASU!!!" as she scarfed down her ramen.
"Mai. Wheres my mayo?"
"Its in the fridge." The biker got up hastily to retrieve her favorite condiment. -scratch that- favorite food. She walked backt to her seat and poured mayonnaise all over her food.
"So Natsuki, Where are you going for vacation?" Mai wiped some of the food Mikoto ahd on her chin.
Chie put her chopsticks down for a moment. "Going somewhere interesting, Natsuki?" She pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and thought, 'This time it really seems film-worthy.'
"Nothing. I was going to the...uhm..." The blunette looked down into her rice bowl and played with the food.
"Where ya heading to, mutt?"
"…"
"The where?" Midori leaned toward Natsuki's side, trying to hear what she was saying.
"T' bch." Came a whispered reply.
Chie focused her recording on Natsuki, "What? Speak louder, Kuga-san."
"Mutt's going to the BEACH! Haha! What a perv!"
The blunette lunged forward to once again attack Nao, only to be halted by Midori grabbing her shirt from behind. The History Sensei beamed and brought her right arm into a 'pump' motion with her fist in the air, "That's the most awesome thing I've ever heard since I got here! Alright! The beach it is! Where's my beer?!"
"That's great! Mai! We're going to the beach?!" Mikoto paused from eating to smile at Mai questioningly.
"I know! We gotta pack!" The chef patted on Mikoto's head. "Oh, I have to call Takumi! He's going to love it there!"
Cat-girl asked, "And Akira too?"
"Hai. They're gonna be so thrilled!" Mai faced the kitchen counter to grab the phone on it and started dialing her brother's number.
"Yeah! The beach is gonna be so full of babes in bikinis!" Chie murmured, her still-recording cellular gadget forgotten for a moment. "I heard that!" Her girlfriend countered.
And they went on and on about what to do once they got to the beach while finishing their meal. Even Nao was a bit energized at the idea of spending a few days at the seaside. Natsuki, however, slumped down to her seat and stared at her feet. Her carefully and perfectly planned relaxation time was ruined.
After that bountiful lunch, Kuga Natsuki's supposed solo vacation turned out to be a group retreat as her party suddenly consisted of a busty waitress and her effeminate brother, the said brother's girlfriend, a cat-like grade schooler, an ambiguously gay couple, a text-a-holic redhead and of course, the aforementioned alcoholic professor.
