Naomi stared up at the ceiling above her. she glanced over at the beds on either side of her were Riku and Risa Harada slept. It had been one hectic night. After the pervert, Dark kissed her she had slowly walked back to Risa and Riku's house dazed. She decided not to tell them about what had just happened. When she had arrived at their house she had found Risa crying onto Riku's shoulder about how, she, Naomi had disappeared. After spotting Naomi in the door way Riku calmly told Risa Naomi was right behind her. She turned around and ran at Naomi, tackling her to the ground.
They were all in bed now but only two of them were asleep. Naomi couldn't sleep. She couldn't help but think of that little peck on the cheek. It annoyed her how she couldn't stop thinking about. She made a promise to herself not to let it both her and she would forget about that pervert, Dark.
"Every one! Sit down. I have news for all of you!" The teacher said happily. Naomi sighed and rolled her eyes. "In a few days were going on our annual midwinter hike! Now remember to dress warmly and before you leave today make sure you grab one of these permission slips! And now lets have some fun and do some math!"
Naomi whispered sarcastically to herself, "Oh great! Math!" She glanced around the room and looked behind her. There he was again! Satoshi staring at her. She glared back at him and turned around shaking her hair behind her. Satoshi smirked.
The day finally came. The annual midwinter hike. Their whole class waited at the base of the large, well some what large mountain. Naomi shivered and glanced around.
"Ok everybody! Isn't this a great day for a hike? I hoped you all dressed warmly!" Their teacher said with a smile.
Takeshi, a boy who was the son of a police inspector, said annoyedly, "Teacher, this isn't a hike, it's mountain climbing."
Risa added, "Why do we do this every year? I'm so cold…"
Soon they were all starting up the mountain. Daisuke walked in front of Risa who was walking a few feet ahead of Naomi and Riku. Every few minutes Daisuke looked back to see if Risa was ok. Naomi looked at Riku wanting to point out this fact to her but quickly stopped herself. Riku was looking at the ground looking sad.
Naomi asked, "Riku? Whats wrong?"
"Oh it's nothing…"
Naomi looked up at Risa and Daisuke, Then she realized something, "Riku? You like Daisuke don't you?"
Riku blushed and said sternly, "I do not!"
"What ever you say," Naomi said with a smirk.
"Hey! My hat! It's stuck in a tree! That's my favorite hat!"
Naomi and Riku looked up ahead and saw Risa by the edge of the mountain side yelling about her hat which was stuck in a tree not to far away.
Risa turned to Daisuke, "Oh, Daisuke…Please get it back for me!"
Daisuke looked a little uneasy, "Um…But…it's kinda far, Risa."
Naomi watched this and realized Riku wasn't standing next to her anymore she looked over at the hat and Riku was reaching for it, "Riku! Don't do it!"
Every one was yelling for not to do it and she yelled back, "Someone has to get it back! And I don't see you making up your mind any time soon!"
Riku slipped and Daisuke tried to grab her hand but they both fell over the edge.
"We have to tell some one!" Naomi yelled and started to run back down the mountain to find the teacher. Others fallowed her. As soon as she spotted the teacher she came to a stop and tried to catch her breath.
Satoshi walked up beside her, "Pardon me, Teacher."
"Yes, Satoshi, Naomi. What is it?"
Satoshi cleared his throat and stated, "Daisuke Niwa and Riku Harada fell to the bottom of a cliff at approximately 11:45 A.M. The accident was caused when Risa Harada's hat blew into a tree. Riku Harada tried to recover said hat and slipped, then Daisuke Niwa attempted to catch her and fell along with her."
Takeshi grabbed Satoshi by the caller and yelled, "Satoshi! Will you zip it? That doesn't help anything right now!" Then he turned to Naomi and yelled, "Naomi, inform the other student to form groups! We'll split up and look for Riku and Daisuke!"
Satoshi said back, "Takeshi, I don't think that's a good idea. Even more students might get lost…"
Satoshi whipped out his cell and tried for a signal but no luck. He moved around a bit and then stopped. He must have gotten a signal. He dialed a phone number, "Hello, we need a search party out here."
Naomi could hear some one yelling back on the other end of the phone, "Send out a search party! Commander?"
Satoshi sighed and pushed the button to end his phone call. He turned around and started to walk back up the mountain. Naomi looked around confused and then walked after him and yelled, "Hey Satoshi, where are you going? You're the one who said we should stick together!"
He turned to her and put his fingers to his lips gesturing to be quiet.
All Naomi could think was 'what a jerk! Baka!'
Then there was a bright light and Naomi saw something black. She fell back ward and covered her eyes. She heard Satoshi talking on his phone again, "Cancel that search party…"
An hour latter they found Diasuke and Riku at the bottom of the mountain. And all was ok again…at least for the time being.
