Chapter 10: Enter Kidnapping
I didn't know what to expect when we all clambered into Tamaki's limo and took off. I sat inbetween Haruhi and Kyoya who was holding my hand inbetween our legs and the twin immediately started asking questions as Tamaki started complaining about Mother dating son. (I chose to ignore him while he was bemoaning that). Haruhi just smiled and leaned on my shoulder while I watched through the window as the city fell away and I was left with the view of the scenery. I was really glad that I brought my sketch pad so that I could sketch some of the things I was seeing so I could have references to some of my drawings.
While having Haruhi lean on me, I was leaning on Kyoya and just being in a car period made me sleepy. Feeling like I was welcomed and at home, made me extremely tired that I ended up falling asleep on my friends. I felt a vibration of a chuckle from Kyoya when he noticed this. "Just sleep Markus-kun, I'll wake you when we get to the camping grounds," I heard him faintly whisper and I did just that.
I don't know how much time passed, all I know that when I was awakened, my head was on Kyoya's lap and Haruhi was leaning against the window asleep as well. Slowly sitting up, I rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out of them and then rubbed a kink that had formed in my tail.
"How long?" I muttered, my brain still fuzzy from sleeping so soundly.
"About an hour," Kyoya answered while looking over at Haruhi.
I poked her in the side and then leaned close to her ear. "Tamaki wants you in bed," I whispered which woke her up right then and there with a startled squeak. "I lied," I said quickly which got me a glare from her.
Chuckling, we got out of the limo and Kyoya ended up grabbing both of our bags so I just grabbed the tent and some of the chairs from the trunk of the limo as we walked onto the camp grounds. "Isn't this great~!" Tamaki called out with a spin.
Everyone ignored him and so he found a tree and start cultivating mushrooms. I was half tempted to leave him but then guilt filled me. "Yes Tamaki-kun, it's great, but where are we going to camp? This clearing isn't all that big and I didn't see any branches on our way over here. Is that what people do while camping? Get loose branches and build a camp fire?" I asked and Tamaki looked at me.
"Yea that's what people do! But don't worry! There are pleanty of trees around so there will be pleanty of sticks around and we have a bunch of small tents so we can just build a circular area and put the camp fire in the middle~!" Tamaki said and I sighed silently.
Tamaki could be such an air head.
"Then who rooms with who? I'm guessing the twins will room together and so will Hunny and Mori but what about you, Kyoya, Haruhi and myself?" I asked the obvious question which gave everyone pause.
"I vote Markus rooms with Haruhi since he's gay!" The twins cried out in unison.
"I'm with them on that," Kyoya stated bluntly.
Hunny and Mori nodded and Tamaki sighed. "That'll work I guess if Haruhi doesn't mind," Tamaki said and we all looked at Haruhi for confermation.
"No I don't mind," Haruhi stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Since that's settled, let's go and form camp!" Tamaki cried out in a complete 180 mood swing.
How could these people put up with this for so long? I asked myself as we went on our way deeper into the woods to the other clearing that Tamaki forgot to notify us about.
It was stunning. The trees formed a perfect circle around the area and some flowers where in bloom that fadded in from the tree line. A pleased smile was on his face as he took in our expressions and Hunny started to bound through the flowers, stopping every now and again to bend down and sniff. "Look Usa-chan! Isn't that one pretty?" He would ask his rabbit as the rest of us started to set up camp. I put the chairs near the middle of the clearing and then took several steps away to find the perfect area for the tent.
Gauging the distance by eye I choose and area that was nearly middle between the center and the tree line so we would be safe.
I read too many book where people had choosen to be near the tree line and had been kidnapped.
After pulling out the tents I started to find places where they would work in the circle that Tamaki wanted to make. Setting down the materials that was needed in a small pile I completed the circle. I bent down to the pile I had just made and started to slowly figure out how to put up the tent.
Thankfully, Mori finished whatever it was that he had been doing, took mercy on me and helped me put up the tent. "Thanks Mori," I said with a smile up at the tallest member of the Host Club.
"It's nothing," he said, returning the smile and went to work on the next tent.
I went in the opisite direction and with both of us hitching the tents, we completed it. (With Mori doing most of it since I was still trying to figure it out). Kyoya and the twins came back carring some medium sized sticks that were mostly dry and Tamaki had found some stones to put up a ring in the middle for the camp fire. Haruhi was getting out things to make some dinner and Hunny was still playing in the flowers. I was slightly worried about him getting hurt but then I remembered the story about how Hunny was actually a great fighter, though I still couldn't see it.
I went and claimed one of the chairs and set it up beside the ring of stones Tamaki was making. Sitting in it, I felt my body relax and a content smile appear on my face. "Neko-chan, aren't you going to help?" Tamaki asked as the rock he had been trying to stack fell for the tenth time.
"Nope. I helped put up the tents, I think you'll figure it out eventually," I answered with a smile.
"Mommy! Your boyfriend is being mean!" Tamaki cried over dramaticlly.
I couldn't help but chuckle as Tamaki clung to Kyoya. Kyoya looked over at me with a raised eyebrow and I just grinned. "He should be able to figure out that because the stone is round and fat it won't balance easily," I answered, hinting to Tamaki's inability to figure out basic problems such as this.
Kyoya heaved a heavy sigh and pried the King off of him. "Tamaki-kun, you don't need to stack the rocks, just make a decent ring before doing anything else," Kyoya instructed as he knelt down to help the inapt king.
Tamaki watched before helping Kyoya put up the ring of rocks. They soon got the fire ring set up and the twins stacked the logs near by. I decided to go play with Hunny as the four boys tried to start a fire. I had no idea so I knew I would be useless.
"Hey Hunny, what are you doing?" I asked as I neared the college student.
"I'm making flower crowns! Here's yours!" Hunny cried out and reached up to place the crown on my head.
I knelt down onto one knee and bowed my head. Hunny couldn't help but chuckle at the action as he placed the flower crown onto my head, doing his best to not harm the ears. "Why thank you Hunny, do you need help finishing the others?" I asked and he shook his blonde head.
"I'm nearly done so it's ok!" Hunny said happily and picked up the other finished crowns and handed them to me. "I just need to finish Takeshi's crown and we'll be set!"
I just smiled and then tensed. Something in the woods was setting off warning bells in the back of my mind causing my tail to puff out slightly. "Hunny, we need to get back to the other's come on," I said and started ushering the smaller male to the group.
Hunny gave me a confused look but followed without complaint.
I didn't get to the group though.
A tranquilizer was shot into the base of my neck and I collapsed to Hunny crying out my name.
I heard people rushing and angry shouts before darkness took me. The last thing I remember was Kyoya crying out my name, promising to find me.
A/N: No excuses aside from writers block. I didn't write any stories for a long time because of it and the story that caused it all is the story of what people call my 'manself' whom is amazing btw. But anyway, for those of you who waited for my update patiently I thank you all! You guys are amazing and I'll do my best to finish this soon.
I think maybe a couple more chapters and it'll be done. I want to say that this will be around 15 chapters so it'll end soon…this defiantly wont be over 20 though…
