A/N: Oh my, where has the time gone? EXAMS is the correct answer. A WHOLE MONTH SINCE I'VE UPDATED! You all must hate me now. Well, if you hate me, blame it on my parents. They are so stuck up now and naggy and snobby that they want ME to focus on my grades and I have STRAIGHT A'S! And, my lowest grade on my report card is a freakin' 94! Can't I ever get a break?! Okay and so yeah, my computer had a virus and my parents finally got it out.
Before we start, I'd like to give a refresh to the new characters. And now, -drumroll- welcome my temporaries!

You know, this is actually my first time Author's Noting in this format 0.0 Well nevermind, it's the end of my school year until next year! :] So enjoy! (P.S. To apologize to all my readers out there, I wrote and EXTRA long chappie! ;D)
Amu's POV
I felt myself drift out of my trance and then a touch of warmth on my eyes and a light weight on my stomach. My eyes slowly fluttered open and I looked up to see the ceiling fan and the pale green color of the room with the thin ray of sunlight escaping through the curtains. I then glanced to my side to see Ikuto snuggling comfortably with my arm and smiling every now and then. I giggled quietly and returned my gaze to the ceiling again, easing my sight into the weird but amusing patterns on the wall. After what felt like minutes, I looked to my left and read the clock, 6:30 AM. Careful, trying not to disturb my sleeping boyfriend, I slid like a worm from under his loose grip and wriggle away. When I am finally free, I grab my blood red silk robe off the dresser door and put it on, letting the knee-length fabric settle and tying the matching ribbon around my waist and then quickly head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair. Trying to keep quiet, I tiptoe out of my room and into the living room. The air conditioning suddenly turns on, startling me. Then an excellent plan hatches in my head. Okay, well not excellent but fun. Picking Kiko's room first, I peer through her door and look at the bed. Kiko and Ryuu are average, not all snuggly-cuddly but still enough to show affection to each other. Ryuu and Kiko and facing each other but are a pillow's width away and as I zoom in, I see that they are holding hands. Smiling for my cousin, I sneak back out and head for the last room.
Looking at the cozy bunks, I see Harmony on the bottom first. She's all sprawled out, similar to a starfish and sleeping with her head pointing straight up. Then I stand on the stubs of my toes to look at Queenie-chan to see her all relaxed but cuddling a pillow. She smiled every now and then and suddenly flipped positions. Deciding not to bother my friends anymore, I walk back to the couches. On my way there, I grab a yogurt cup out of the fridge and a spoon. As I sat down on the armchair, I quickly realized that the curtain behind me was still undiscovered. Investigating, I swept back the fabric with the wave of my arm to reveal the clear glass door, and beyond that door, a view of the ocean that took my breath away. I swiftly unlocked the door and hurried out.
The view was beyond incredible. I don't even know how to describe it! First of all, the clear, white, clean sand lining the ground and bordering with the ocean. The ocean, the clear crystal blue ocean, with not a hint of dirt in sight. Lining along the ocean, is the clear morning horizon of the blue sky. You can even hear the crashing of the soothing waves as it hits the shores. I sigh in content and eat my breakfast, scooping up some light green yogurt and eating it slowly to savor the taste and the peaceful moment. I lean on the balcony rail to stare at the beauty around me. Could this get any better, I ask? I know jinxed myself.
Arms wrap around my petite waist and a blunt triangular shape rest on my left shoulder.
"Morning Amu-koi-i-i..." A minty fresh breath whispers, belonging to the one and only Ikuto.
"Ikuto! Oh, I didn't mean to wake you up but... It's so pretty." I say, wandering off to my own thoughts again.
"It sure is." He murmurs, and I turn to him, finding him looking lovingly at me.
I blush and remember the things occupying my hands. Trying to finish them, I sit down on a woven white chair, with my back on one of the arm rests and my legs swinging over the other. Still enjoying the calming sounds, I rest my head against the back and close my eyes, wondering what Ikuto's doing in front of me right now. I hope it's not something stupid and perverted. Suddenly, I felt myself being picked up and then turned around and being set down again. My eyes flutter open and I find myself staring into those familiar dark blue pools, and I realize that I was in the same position except I was sitting on Ikuto's lap, which honestly, was much more comfortable. I smile at him and lean my head on his shoulder.
Ikuto chuckled and I glance up at him curiously.
"Remember when we first started school we weren't this close at all?" He laughed.
"Yea..." I whisper looking out into the horizon again. "You want to go take a walk on the beach?"
"Sure, go get changed." He agreed.
I giggled and got off his lap and walked inside into our room and glanced casually at the clock to see that it was only a little past 7 in the morning. I headed for the walk-in closet and sat on the floor, unzipping my luggage and rummaging through my packed clothing. Bikini? One piece? Old? New? I was planning on wearing a bikini that Kiko bought me though but I didn't know which one. So instead, I ended up saving my new ones and pulling out my old tankini, a black background with a white hibiscus pattern everywhere. It had boy shorts that only covered my butt and the tank was above my belly. I quickly ran a brush through my hair and inspected myself in the mirror.
"T-This is so embarrassing." I stammered, staring at the carbon copy of me.
"Amu," Ikuto called my name. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah!" I answered.
I quickly walked back into my closet to put on my cover-up. It was a white translucent fabric in a dress style and on the bottom left-hand side on my thigh area was a black heart design. (A/N: I got this idea from Papaya, the store so I don't own!) The cover-up was a V-neck and the slant ended on my chest, showing some cleavage. I smiled and walked out to see Ikuto's expression.
Ikuto's POV (So long since I've done one.)
Amu finally walked out but when she did, it looked like the devil visited her wardrobe. My eyes popped open and I stared at her, her slender sexy body taunting me. She was wearing a white dress that ended at her mid-thigh but it was see-though and I could see her bathing suit. It was tight, giving me a peek at her chest and her butt looked hot. I cleared my throat awkwardly and looked away because well... my 'friend' was getting... excited.
"Stop taunting me Amu." I muttered inaudibly so that she couldn't hear.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Nothing. Lets go." I said, beckoning her to follow.
We walked to the door and I slid on some brown leather-like Hollister flip flops, which I head were REALLY expensive here in Japan but when I bought them they weren't that big of a deal. I think they're an American brand that's why (A/N: I'm making this up because I'm not sure!). Amu slid on matching black flip flops and I saw the words 'Aero' on them.
"Oh wait," I suddenly say, remembering something I needed to do.
I walk back to the room and open the drawer on my side, taking my phone out of my swim trunks, which were black with white skater designs on them. I jog back to where Amu is and put on my slippers again. Opening the door like a gentleman for her, I let her go first before closing the door securely. Amu and I head to the elevator while it's still in the early morning. Amu hugs herself and pushes the button. We wait a while before entering the elevator and stepping in. The elevator jerks before heading downwards and I lean against the wall.
"So what do you want to do?" I ask Amu looking at her.
"I said a walk on the beach!" She scolded, and then zoned out for some reason.
I chuckle. That is so like her—probably having fantasies about me. The elevator lurches to a halt and we get out. Amu grabs my hand, which shocks me at first. Her warm, delicate hand holding my strong, firm one, which seems like they were made for each other. We amble casually over the bridge and onto the sand, passing a massive swimming pool. Once our feet makes contact with the sand, Amu squeals and takes her flip flops off and abruptly drags me with her along the shore. She laughs jubilantly and her voice reminds me of delicate wind chimes or bells ringing their beautiful sounds ad infinitum. Once our feet hit the water, we laugh uncontrollably. Amu starts running around and I chase her. After a few minutes of teasing her by running slowly, I pick up speed and catch up to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and picking her up off the ground. I swung Amu around in circles while she giggled joyously.
"Ikuto!" She guffawed.
"Hm?"
"L-Let me down! Haha!"
I set her on the ground and once she was out of my grasp, she turned around to face me and tackled me into the water with her arms around my neck.
"Got 'cha!" She grinned.
She stood up and shook her hair ridding the excess water. I stared at her. Amu looks like a freaking playboy magazine model! I frown at the thought and Amu glances at me and offers a hand. I take it and she pulls me up—well she did some but I helped myself up mostly. When I'm fully standing, I grab Amu into a loving embrace and sway from side to side in rhythm with the water. After a few moments, Amu gazed at me and smiled.
"Lets go back and wake up the others 'kay?"
I nodded and let her go as we trudged out of the water and onto the clean white sand. We grab our shoes and put them on, and I take Amu's hand. Together, we walk across the beach and head towards the condos. Before we were about 20 meters away from the crossing bridge, a voice called out to us.
"Hey! Wanna reserve some chairs and umbrellas?"
Amu whirled around at the voice and stared at the shirtless guy coming up to us. I noticed that he was looking directly at her. I growl silently and tighten my grip on her hand. The tanned man neared us and smiled with slightly yellow teeth showing. I saw a whistle hanging around his neck and the word 'Lifeguard' going vertically down his shorts.
"Just sign here and you can save spots for the whole day. It includes 6 beach chairs and 2 huge umbrellas."
Amu reached her free hand out and he handed her a clip board he was holding. Her eyes scanned the paper swiftly before she let go of my hand to sign her name in the spaces. After a quick scrawl, she handed the board back to him and grabbed my hand again.
"Okay cool! Your area is number four. My name is Kenji! How about you?" He grinned, which I knew that whole sentence was for her.
"I'm Amu and this is Ikuto."
"That's nice. How long do both of you plan on staying?" He pried.
"As long as we put the reservations for." She said firmly, clearly annoyed.
"So... How about you take off the dress and we can go save peoples' lives together?" Pushing it way too far.
"How about you shut your mouth before I shut it for you!?" Amu shouted at him, immediately pulling her right arm back with a fist, ready to punch him when needed.
I chuckled. "My girlfriend doesn't kid. Oh, and word of advice; start working out, those two-packs look weak, see my six?"
Amu laughed and pulled me away. "Thanks for the offer... ON BEACH CHAIRS!"
While we walked away, the lifeguard stared after us, shocked with his mouth slightly agape. Amu and I shared a few comments while we headed back to our suite. Once I punched in the code, the door opened and we stepped in, smelling a whiff of that condo smell.
I cupped my hands to my mouth and took a breath. "Oi! Get out of bed you lazy butts!"
"Huh!?!? What?! Where's the fire!!!" I heard being shouted to my right.
"Shut up Harmony! It's just baka Ikuto! Sheesh!"
Amu's POV
I saw Queenie-chan roll over and fall off the top bunk.
"Queenie-chan!!!" I screamed.
She sat up rubbing her butt. "Itai!" She exclaimed, sweat dropping and bursting out laughing.
We all joined in together at the scene. When our laughter died down, I told everyone to get ready to go to the beach. This time, I was going prepared. I went into my room and got out my lime green tote bag with white floral designs on it. Then I went into the closet and collected a HUGE beach towel, my white Channel sunglasses with brown lenses, a floppy beach hat with a black side ribbon on the rim, SPF 50 sunscreen lotion, a brush, and some ponytail holders. After packing in my items, I headed out to the kitchen to get food. Opening the fridge, I saw premade turkey sandwiches, six of them, along with six stocked up sodas. I took a grocery bag out and shook it making it expand and then I lay the food contents inside. I also stuffed a bag of washed red grapes and some chewing gum and headed for the door.
"Ready!" I shouted out.
"Amu-chan! Ran, Suu, Yoru, Dia, and I decided to stay here." Miki suddenly told me as she floated near.
"Oh... okay. Have fun here then! Don't call 911 or anything!" I warned (My sister actually called 911 on vacation from the phone and OMG she got in a lot trouble for a 9-year-old!).
Harmony and Queenie came out of their room all dressed up in swim wear. Queenie-chan was wearing a cyan (Like a sky blue but brighter; Just Google it. It's my favorite color :]) blue bikini that showed off her cleavage. In the center of her top, was a rounded ring holding the triangular circles together and at the tops of those, the strings wound around her neck and into a thick bow at the back. Then on her upper back were thinner strings with another bow. I could see all this through her translucent lime green strapless dress cover up, which was a brighter color then my tote bag. Queenie-chan was fumbling with tying her hair into braids, which reached above her belly when finished. The black and blue and green contrasted very nicely.
Now on to Harmony, she was wearing a black average bikini except as usual, there would be something white. Now the white thing this time were curves on her whole suit, like the white part of the Yin Yang sign, except without the black dot. Harmony took out her white cover up dress and slipped it over her head and over the bow on her neck. After it was on, it showed her body nicely.
Finally, Kiko came out with Ryuu after her. Kiko wore a very tight looking orange one piece that could have passed for a full tankini. On her chest was a square silver ring holding on to her bathing suit and there were little ruffles surrounding it. She was already wearing a light brown floppy sun hat with a white ribbon and a fake flower on it. She also had on plain black sunglasses. Ryuu was wearing dark brown swimming trunks with a white eagle on his right leg and his dark brown hair was all over the place, with his amber eyes wide and excited.. Ikuto finally came out and we all put on our shoes.
After we closed the door, we headed towards the elevator, again, well for Ikuto and I that is. Kiko pushed the button and the doors closed. I leaned against Ikuto's shoulder since it was a bit crowded with just the six of us. When the elevator doors opened, we all unloaded and headed towards the bridge. Just as we were passing, Harmony saw that swimming pool and squealed.
"Ooh! Let's go in there to wash up afterwards!" She smiled from ear to ear.
"Yea, that is, if we stay out that long!" Queenie stuck her tongue out mockingly. "I'm not getting any darker than a light tan today!"
"Oh be quiet you guys!" Kiko crossed her arms.
We continued walking across until we got onto the sand. Everyone had a similar reaction and yelped. I glanced casually around, making sure that Kenji was not around, then I scanned the beach for a number four area. I quickly discovered it and told everyone to follow me. We walked across the bumpy and soft white sand to our designated spot. Once we reached it, everyone dropped their belongings and pulled out sunscreen. Ryuu walked over to the gigantic umbrellas and opened them up, providing shade for all of us. Queenie, Harmony, and I pulled off our cover ups and started applying the lotion. Queenie-chan took out her spraying can of sunscreen and sprayed it all over her body and on her face. After she was done, she rubbed the excess to even it out and gave it to Harmony who did the same. I took out my sunscreen bottle and squeezed some out, rubbing it on my toes and moving up until I was covered and I took the extra to put on my back until I felt another pair of hands on me. Whirling around expecting some stranger, I saw Ikuto trying to help me, so I let him. His strong, muscular hands felt so good on my back that I could've stood there all day, but I didn't. I did the same for Ikuto's back, while looking away and blushing of course. Once everyone was done, we took off.
The girls and I headed to the waters while Ikuto and Ryuu headed towards a canoe rental shack. Hitting the once warm water again, I squealed and clung onto my friends and cousin.
"EEP!"
"AH!"
"Oh my gosh!"
"OH CRAP!"
We all laughed and started heading deeper into the moving water. Holding hands, we went farther out and laughed all the way. Once the water was up to our waists and we stopped shivering, I made the first move and splashed Harmony.
"AH!!! What the-" She exclaimed, scooping her arms up to splash me back. And so, it ended up being a splash fest.
-30 minutes later-
We all got out of the water and shook out the wetness. Running quickly back to our seats, we grabbed some towels and dried ourselves. Kiko spread out her huge beach towel for us and she then sat down and laid on her stomach. Doing the same, Harmony, Queenie, and I laid down to get a tan and dry ourselves with the sun. Queenie-chan took out some sky blue sunglasses with white polka dots and black lenses and put them on, while Harmony took out a plain white pair with purple lenses. I did the same with my Channel ones while Kiko put on her plain black ones. She also reached into her brown tote bag and pulled out a lime green package.
"Gum anyone?" She offered. I had some of my own but I happily obliged.
We all were soon chewing away on a piece and closing our eyes. After what seemed like a minute, I heard some passing people, and to my disappointment, they were boys because they started talking. One of them wolf whistled and all of us looked up. They were ALL looking at us and there were twelve of them, to be correct. Queenie-chan groaned and flipped over onto her back.
"Ooh! Nice view, babe! Mind if you take off the swim suit though?" One of the pigs asked.
Harmony growled and got up, putting her hands on her hips and leaning to a side. "How about you pervs get away from us before I knock you guys out?"
"Ah, scary." The tannest one sarcastically said.
I looked up and put my trademark look on, the bored and irritated one. "Go away and do something else with your lives besides staring at girls you don't have."
The guys all burst out laughing until a sleek cut looking one—but when compared to Ikuto could never match up because Ikuto was a lot more built—with black hair stopped laughing long enough to check out my body. I saw his eyes go right where any other guys' eyes would. My boobs. He started elbowing his friends and pointed at me. Except his aim was a little more southward from my face. At this, I got up on my elbows and propped myself up. Then Queenie-chan and Kiko-chan did the same. Soon, all four of us girls were standing with our hands on our hips and glaring at the boys intensely.
"You pigs," I emphasized the words. "better get out of here or else BAD THINGS will happen to you guys."
"Oh? You and what army?" One of them mocked. That's. It.
Harmony and Queenie exploded and they quickly put their hands on the ground, lifted their back in the air, and pushed off, getting a running track start (so like what people do in those track races). They screamed tempestuously, savagely, and wildly that it seemed like no human being could tame them. At the same time, they lunged off the ground and toppled over the whole group, girls on top. At this sound, everyone in sight looked over our direction at the havoc currently happening. Queenie-chan started strangling two guys and pulled their hair, hollering like a barbaric Indian going off to war and she tried punching the life out of those two. They ended up coughing out a fair amount of blood before she moved on. Harmony tackled three guys at the same time and then she started to wrestle them all together, this while yelling uncontrollably.
Kiko quickly took out her high-def camera and the clicks could be heard flashing so fast, it sounded like a machine gun going off.
"Whoo! A hundred pics! Gotta post them on Myspace tonight!" She grinned.
Then, the tables turned. After taking on about more than half of the guys, both of my friends ran out of energy and soon their hits were getting slower and slower and they were panting more and more. When they leaned against each other for support and a breath of air, the males took it as a free chance and they then whipped—out of nowhere—a rope around the two.
"Now, let the real fun begin." The tan one said.
"QUEENIE! HARMONY!" I cried while frantically looking for Ikuto and Ryuu. Those freaking rapers better not do what I think they are!
All of those dirty guys started touching them, not in their two prized girl areas yet, but like arms, and faces. Kiko looked around at the other people watching with a panicked expression glued to her face because no one wanted to step up.
"If all these people were smart enough, they'd actually TEAM UP on these guys!" Kiko grabbed her hair and pulled. Her expression was easy to read; 'Oh Kami-sama, help us!'
When the guys moved inward on them, I scream and shout at them, getting ready to use my martial arts that would now come in handy when my mom enrolled me in them at the age of twelve. "You bastards!"
"STOP!" An unfamiliar voice called out, making everyone, including the boys to see who it was, or in this case, more than one actually.
I whirled around and saw five girls and I had to admit, they were all beautiful. "Who do you think you guys are? Going around this beach and harassing all the girls? Do you know that I could send you to jail? All I have to do is call the police and they'll be here faster than you can run off!" A girl with bright flaming red hair said. Their backs were facing the sun so obviously I had to look at it even with my sunglasses on.
"Ha! And what are you girlies gonna do about it?" The tallest guy said.
"Just watch." The fierce girl said again, as a couple of girls stepped from behind her, holding baseball bats over their shoulders and another two came out with some golf clubs.
"Oh shit!" The tall one exclaimed.
Then they all made a run for it and headed towards the condos, that is, until they stupidly tripped and fell into the sewage.
"Hahaha!" Kiko started laughing really hard and clutched her stomach.
I quickly sprinted over to where Harmony and Queenie were and untied the ropes, which weren't that hard. I sweat dropped and just gave a light tug, causing the rope to slide down.
"Oops!" Harmony said, rubbing the back of her head guiltily. "I didn't think that those boys were bad knot makers."
"Typical Harmony." Queenie-chan giggled.
All three of us stood up and walked back to Kiko. Then we all glanced at each other and nodded. Walking towards the five girls, we put on our best smiles and acted friendly. When we were near enough, I tried to act cool and collected and started making conversation.
"Thanks for the help." I grinned.
"DON'T get friendly with me!" The red haired girl yelled, narrowing her eyes.
"I know, but-"
"What did I just say?"
Queenie growled and pushed me aside, then with her hands on her hips and leaning on her right leg, she backed me up. "Look, I don't know who you are and I don't really give a shit but my friend is trying to thank you so you better shut that fake ass mouth of yours and let her talk or else I'll use my nails and rip out your pretty-pretty hair. (A/N: I'm sorry Melissa!)"
The group of girls raised their eyebrows and snickered. "Ha! Like those guys said, you and what army?"
"Amu!" I turned around at Ikuto's voice to see him running towards me with Ryuu at his feet. But my eyes popped when I saw them. Ikuto and Ryuu were WET, like water was dripping down their abs and their hair was glistening. They're muscles looked more defined and I bet a million bucks that they could make it in a modeling magazine, no sweat. Kiko snatched my hand and squeezed it.
"I know!" I whispered back, my mouth starting to drool, just a bit.
"DAMN!" A girl standing next to the red haired girl stated. She had black mid-back lengthed hair and brown eyes.
"Hime! Kyasuu! Aya! Natsuya!" A hyper active girl with brown hair in ringlets and dark brown eyes yelled.
"I know!" The red haired girl hissed. And then, out of nowhere, they started, fixing their hair, straightening their bathing suits, and licking their lips. WHAT. THE. HELL.
Kiko clutched my hand and squeezed it with monstrous strength and I returned it.
Ikuto and Ryuu arrived, panting. "Amu! We came... here... as fast as we could!"
"Oh that's okay, these girls helped." I said, beckoning to the group.
Ikuto turned to them and smiled a bit. "Thanks."
The leader smiled and the group batted their eyelashes. "Oh no problem!"
Ikuto then turned to me again, apparently already have caught his breath. He then leaned in to whisper something in my ear. "I'm glad you're okay. I promise I won't let another guy look at you." And with that being said, he leaned in and kissed me passionately on the lips and I kissed him back.
"So, I was thinking that you boys could come with us and- WHAT!?!"
Ikuto broke the kiss and looked up. "Huh?"
I don't know why, but Queenie-chan obviously lost her cool and burst out laughing and fell on the sand, rolling around. Harmony found something funny and came down soon after.
"HAHAHA! You freaks!" Queenie chortled.
"You actually thought they'd be your boyfriends?" Harmony laughed her ass off.
After rolling around like chibi dolls for a minute, they finally collected themselves and got up, dusting each other off and fixing their hair, and when they finished, we stared at them for a moment and got back to the real problem.
"What are you doing? We're flirting with you for a reason!"
"Um... I'm already taken." He said confused. The girls looked at Ryuu and and he shrugged. "Same here."
"Oh great! Just great!" The red haired threw her hands in the air.
I sighed and turned to the females. "Look, I just wanted to thank you guys for saving us from those morons, that's it. And um, I'm sorry you didn't get to have our boyfriends? BUT, I'm just really glad you guys saved us so I guess I'm saying... friends?" I held my hand out for her to take it.
She glanced around her group and after a minute, sighed and smiled a happy smile. "Okay." And she took my hand and gave it a shake. "Friends."
"WELL I GUESS WE DON'T NEED THESE ANYMORE!" The once hyper active brown ringlet girl groaned. She dropped—along with a girl with red eyes and silverish-white mid-waist length hair—their bats. The other girls dropped their golf clubs too. "I don't even know where I got those!"
I smiled and looked all of them in the eyes.
"Thanks. Oh! And I'm Hinamori Amu!"
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
"Matsumoto Kiko."
"Hayashi Ryuu."
"Natsumi Queenie!"
"And Aika Aikimi (A/N: She changed her named from that to Kurai Eien!)!"
The red haired girl smiled.
"Oh cool names! My name is Makoto Aya!"
I looked closely and now noticed how all the girls looked. Aya had red hair, of course, that was all the way down to her waist and she had bright blue eyes. She was wearing an average red bikini except there were straps winding around her stomach, showing off her pale peachy skin.
Then the girl on her right grinned.
"Fujirou Kyasuurin! But you can call me Kyasuu-chan!"
Kyasuu-chan had mid-back black hair that was straight and I could see some of the layers. She also had side bangs framing her face and brown eyes that were all excited. And her lips looked red, like Snow White, because it just seemed like a natural shade. She was wearing a light purple top and bottom, with the top tied at the back with some thick black strings, and the bottom tied at both sides with more black strings. There were some encrusted diamonds on the bottom left corner of the bra top.
The girl on Aya's left beamed.
"Mizuki Natsuya."
And of course, she was the one with red eyes and silverish-white hair which looked beautiful in the sun and ended at her mid-waist. Her bathing suit was was a sky blue bikini, which was a bit dimmer than Queenie-chan's. Her top was the normal shapes and the width of it going around was two inches thick. Her bottom was similar to mine, because they were like underwear shorts.
Then the girl behind Natsuya gave a polite wave.
"Takahashi Himeka, but you can call me Hime for short!"
She had midnight blue hair which was a bit darker than Ikuto's and it ended at her mid-back. She too, had layers like Kyasuu-chan and it was slightly curled at the ends. She had a nice looking fringe with a white bow on the left side of her hair. Her bathing suit was a plaid bikini, with gray, white, and pink blending into each other nicely and her eyes were a dark caramel color.
And finally, the last girl, or the hyper one.
"Hi there! My name is Jessie! But you can also call me Mit-chan! Either way, because I'm still me!"
She grinned from ear to ear. Her bathing suit was similar to Kiko's except that it was black and revealed less. It didn't matter though, because she still looked cute like Rima! Her eyes were a chocolate-like brown and she was the one with ringlets in her long brown hair.
I smiled at them all and tilted my head slightly to the left.
"Nice to meet you all! What is your condo room number?"
Natsuya's mouth curled up into a smile again. "411."
I literally had a cow. "NO WAY!!! Ours' is 412!"
All of us girls screamed happily while Ikuto and Ryuu covered their ears.
"Okay, that's nice and all but can we go do something now? We're attracting attention... again." Ikuto pointed out.
"VOLLEYBALL!!!" Queenie shouted out of no where.
"YEAH!"
"Can I sit out on this one please? I need to work on my tan!" Kiko butted in.
Harmony smirked and opened her mouth. "Okay Kiko. So, the teams are: Ikuto, Amu, Queenie, Me, and Aya. The second team is: Ryuu, Natsuya, Jessie, Hime, and Kyasuu-chan!"
"IT'S MIT-CHAN!"
"Okay, okay!" Harmony sweat dropped, her hands in front of her waving apologetically while she backed up a bit.
Everyone got into their groups and we rented one of the volleyball courts. We also received a brand-new white volleyball with an actual court that had sand. Everyone took off their flip flops and walked onto the beach sand. Even though there wasn't enough people, we decided to divide the sides into five spaces so that everyone could move more and it would make sense because of the odd number of players. We had to flip a coin to see who goes first and my team won. I volunteered to serve the ball, because I was especially good at this along with spiking.
I got behind the line with the ball rested on my hip and my arm wrapped around it. I took a breath and stepped back some more. Ready in position, I took a running start and lifted the ball into the air where I then jumped off the ground and had my hand make contact with the volleyball and you could hear the SMACK! (onomatopoeia xD) it gave. It flew over the net and onto the other side where Natsuya bumped it and Kyasuu-chan set it with Hime-chan finishing hitting back over to us. Aya was at the front so she bumped it to Harmony, who set it, and then Queenie-chan got competitive.
"OH YEAH!" She hollered and jumped off the ground, where she gave a massive spike on the ball which caused it to hit the ground on the other side while they tried to get it.
The five of us cheered and gave each other double high-fives (both hands). I got the ball back and proceeded to serve again. This time, I let the ball sit in my left hand while my right prepared to bump it. When it was in the air, it soared over the net where the back people had to step up. Mit-chan got on her knees and bumped it and then Ryuu sent it back over to us. Ikuto dove for the ball and got it up in time for me to hit it from the back. I did a hit that was similar to my first serve (she flies off the ground) and it barely went over the net and onto the other side. Hime attempted to set it but she didn't add enough force so it ended up dropping on her head and she couldn't hit it again because those were the rules of volleyball.
An hour passed before we all tired out and went back to the beach. Our score was 21-19 so I guess it was fairly close. I ran towards the water and dove. The refreshing coolness of it rinsed away my sweat and exhaustion. I smiled and then prepared to stand up, until I was suddenly pulled down by my ankle. I kicked and struggled to get my foot free and when the thing let go, I swam up to get air. A few moments later, Harmony popped up.
"That hurt!" She pouted. Thank goodness she was okay though, I hope I didn't do much damage.
"WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO DROWN ME!?" I shrieked at her.
"I was just playing around." Harmony laughed while rubbing the back of her head guiltily.
I pondered a moment before I sighed and smiled at her. "Okay fine, I forgive you."
Harmony happily gave me a hug before we swam back to the shore. When the water was at my knees, I shook my hair and wadded out.
"OH HOT DAYUMMM! (My new saying! Say it out loud. :D)" I could hear Queenie-chan shout. "Look at the next future models of Japan!"
This caused everyone to look up and stare, at us.
Harmony and I sweat dropped and I looked at Ikuto and his expression was priceless. His wide eyes were glued to me and through his shorts, I could see his er... friend.
Harmony laughed and tried to kick water at Queenie-chan. "Shut up!" She yelled back teasingly.
We just stayed there the rest of the day and eventually, went to the pool, under Harmony's request.
- At night -
After we said good-bye to our newly made friends, the six of us went back to our room. I put everything away while Kiko, Queenie, Harmony, and Ryuu showered. At least Ikuto and I were nice enough to donate our bathroom and wait till the end to shower.
When everyone got ready for bed, I finally went into my room where Ikuto let me shower first. I smiled at him and generously gave him an exhausted peck on the lips and headed for the shower. Closing the door carefully, I began to undress my clothes (but left my bathing suit on) and I stepped into the humongous stall. I turned the handle and waited for lukewarm water before I started rinsing my bathing suit and took it off. I ran my hands through my soft hair to get it wet and I picked up my two-in-one soap. I actually got a new scent not too long ago because I was getting tired of strawberry mango. (ANYBODY could guess the new scent!) I squeezed some strawberry shampoo/conditioner into my hand and applied it to my hair, making sure the suds were lathered I closed my eyes and smiled because now I felt fresh and clean.
- After -
As I stepped out, I grabbed the big white towel that was provided and wrapped it around my body. I ran a comb through my hair and opened the door. The cold air hit me, causing me to shiver and I dashed to the closet but I suddenly rammed into Ikuto's bare chest. I fell backwards but he caught me by the waist and chuckled.
"You look cute in a towel." He told me, actually for once not smirking. Instead, there was lust in his eyes and he was looking at me and well, my body.
"Um... thanks?" I said, confused.
Suddenly, he pulled me up and onto his chest, where the only thing separating our upper body nude was my towel. He placed his lips onto mine and started kissing me affectionately. I was too shocked before I started kissing him back. My hands made sure that my towel was secure before they flew up to play with his soft and wild hair. Ikuto backed up onto the bed and so I was laying on top of him. After about two minutes into making out, I made a move and licked his bottom lip. He granted me entrance and I explored his mouth with my tongue. Soon, our tongues collided and I felt his hands feeling my body through my towel. I wanted him so bad, yet, I had some feeling pulling me back. I pulled away for air when I realized I need it and he did too. We were panting and I lay my head on his chest.
"I have to go shower now, babe." He said, using new vocabulary that I didn't mind.
"Fine... hurry back. I'll miss you." Okay, I knew I was acting ridiculous but I wanted to see him, because who can resist the hottest pervert but sweet guy known to man?
"Don't worry, I will." He murmured before he kissed me again and laid me on the bed and headed to the bathroom.
I sighed and got up and walked into the closet and rummaged through my clothes. I put on a matching set bra and panties that were white with black polka dots. I picked out some black short shorts that were made for sleeping and a blue tank top. I quickly put them on and walked out. Then I brushed my teeth (because there are two sinks outside) and got ready to go to sleep. I walked to the bed and laid on my side, closing my eyes and pulling the covers over me. That is, until I heard the door open and an incredibly sexy Ikuto stepped out with a towel hanging on his waist. I stared at him. The drops of water on his body made his muscles look even better and he looked way handsomer.
"Well somebody looks hot." I teased but then I yawned and decided it was time to go to sleep so I laid down and closed my eyes again.
"Why, thank you." His velvety smooth voice said with amusement.
I drifted off to sleep until I felt movement next to me and I grunted.
"Turn off your light." I groaned, only to be answered by a click and the brightness through my eyelids darkened.
Ikuto moved around and he placed his arms around my waist and pulled me close. I snuggled into his chest and felt his thin t-shirt fabric against my cheek, which caused me to growl.
"I liked it when you chest was bare." I muttered, half asleep. (That's why she's sort of outta character)
Ikuto chuckled again and kissed me on the lips before resting his chin on my head.
"Love you." He whispered.
"Love you too." I replied before I drifted back into my sleeping state with Ikuto following soon after.
DANG! 7,747 words starting from that last period! I actually typed this in like two weeks because my last day of school was on June 4th. And that was exams week. I got my report card and the final grades were all A's and I made all A's on the exams :D well... except for P.E. because I made an 80 D': and because they didn't have the notes for football and soccer. Stupid coaches. Well summer is finally here! Well maybe for some of you but not me. Dx my mom had to sign me up for this gay summer program that is like summer school sort of. So I have those classes on weekdays. I'M SOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!
I THINK THAT FROM NOW ON I MAY BE ONLY ABLE TO UPDATE LIKE TWICE A MONTH, ONE AT THE LEAST! I'm sorry! Well... guess I have to go work on "Love Camp" now...
I hope you all enjoyed that little hot Amuto kissing scene as a bonus apology present :]. If I say so myself, I'm not that bad. Maybe I'll be able to write the lemon in this story! Until then, I guess I'm changing the rating to T.
So until then, PLEASE REVIEW and... recommend? It would mean SO much because I already have three recommenders! xxxUtauloverxxx, xMelithekonekox, and Amuto-4eva~thanks soooo much! I needed the support while I was having my break down!
I don't want to sound whiny or anything but I have less reviews than chapters... well I mean like I wanted 10 reviews per chapter and it hasn't gotten there yet while my other friends have like 20+ reviews per chapter :( so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review and if you have the time and heart, recommend. :D and if you do both, I'll give more hot Amuto scenes/Ikuto being perverted and an EXTRA STEAMY HOT LEMON!!
