Hi There! If my mom had told me I'd be in camp up till now…I would have told you. Another heads up is that in some chapters I might add some songs that no one sings, just to add to the feel of the story. They will be bolded. I hope you had a great summer and enjoy this chapter. I'm skipping the first verse of this song because it doesn't fit in. The song is called 'Hurting Each other' by the Carpenters.

Note I am making this up as I go along. If it's jumbled I am sorry. Oh yeah. A little OOC in this chapter. Out Of Character. Enjoy.

Ch.8 - From a Perfectly Good Day to…

In the Room-

"I still can't get over how big this room is! It's even bigger than our rooms at the bar!"

"What do you expect, we are going to be staying here for a Long time." Mitsuru said putting a lot of emphasis on the word long. How he knew he would dread this every second of every day. Except today of course. Today he had shared a hug with Mahiru SCORE … Where's Mahiru?

Looking around the room, he saw that she was in the bathroom seeing as the door was closed. Now he could actually see how big this room actually was. Okay…let's make a list!

10 good things about this cruise

1. Wide Screen TV

2. 1 King size bed

3. Bathroom- bath fizzes, shower, Jacuzzi, bathtub, incense, scented candles

4. Carpeting

5. PayPerView

6. A Window towards the sea

7. Room Service Score

8. Mini fridge with snacks

9. No Nozomu, Akira, or Misoka

10. FREEDOM!

"Hey, Mitsuru! What's that you're writing? Can I see…" Before he could pull away and say none of your business! Mahiru got the paper."Wow! That's a long list. Have you been doing this the whole time? I thought you saw nothing good in this cruise…guess I was wrong."

"Who said you could look at it !"

All my love

I give gladly to you

All your love

You give gladly to me

"You never said I couldn't." Mahiru answered calmly without even looking at him. She said this because she was rummaging through her suitcase. "ahhh…! Found it!"

"Found what?" Mitsuru asked peering over her shoulder. But before she could answer him there was knock at the door. Mitsuru went to go answer it. When he opened the door his whole expression changed. It was that lady who ran away.

"I just came to see all the winners and check up on them." The lady said this but hesitated when she looked at Mitsuru. If looks could kill she would have been dead the minute she walked in the door.

"I'm sorry, was I disturbing something?" The lady asked looking at Mahiru. "No, but if you don't mind…please don't come back to this room unless we call for it." Mitsuru said roughly going to lie down on the bed his back turned to the lady. Knowing that this was the time to go, she said 'goodbye' to Mahiru and walked down the hall to a different room.

Tell me why then

Oh why should it be that

we go on hurting each other

When the door was closed, Mahiru stomped up to Mitsuru and slapped him on his back. "Get up!" she yelled in his ear. She was fuming. He turned his head and looked at her. "What." Becoming madder by the second, she yelled "Don't what me! I don't mind if you treat me like that, but a total stranger! I don't know what set you off but it wasn't her fault that there was a mix-up! Now. If you don't mind, I need an escort out of this room and to the diner. Don't talk to me unless I talk to you or forgive you. And if you see that lady you better apologize!" Turning her back to Mitsuru she walked to the door. "Are you coming or not!" Blinking and then gulping, he quickly scurried out of the bed and went for the door.

We go on hurting each other

Making each other cry

Hurting each other

Without ever knowing why…

At the Diner

"She still not talking to you?" Nozomu whispered to Mitsuru. "How'd you know?" Mitsuru answered.

"I think this whole boat heard her yelling at you. Don't feel bad. She'll get over it." Nozomu reassured him. "Yeah sure. I never even knew how cruel girls could be." Mitsuru said looking at her sitting with Akira. "Welcome to my life." Nozomu said. "Wait here she comes…"

"Mitsuru. I think I want to go back to the room now. Don't follow me unless you want to go and deal with me." Mahiru said looking him straight in the eye making him nervous. "Whatever." He said still not looking her in the eye. "The key, Mitsuru."

"Yeah, Yeah." Still searching for the key, "You did bring the key, didn't you, Mitsuru." Her eyebrows were twitching now. Looking up. "Umm…"

"Now he's done it." Nozomu whispered to Akira. He nodded.

cant we stop hurting each other

"I can't believe you lost the key already! Now we have to go find that lady and get a replacement." Looking around the room, Mahiru spotted the lady talking to some other winners. "Now is your chance to apologize."

"Excuse me miss." Mahiru asked tapping her on the shoulder. "Excuse me." The lady said to people she was talking to. Turning back around "Yes, what is it?"

"My friend has something to say to you. Mitsuru." Mitsuru stepped up, and without even looking at the lady said "I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier…" Mitsuru had been re-hearsing it so maybe Mahiru would forgive him. "I treated you badly even though it wasn't your fault about the mix-up. I hope you accept my apology and you can come knocking at the door any time as long as it is not at night."

Gotta stop hurting each other

"I forgive you. I remember having a boy friend just like you, but I put him in his place. She is very lucky to have you as a friend." The lady turned to Mahiru and whispered something to her making her face turn red. "Oh and what is it you wanted other than that?"

"I left the key in the room… do you have a spare?" nudge "Please." Smiling. "Of course. Oh and by the way, my name is Mimi. If you need anything, feel free to ask."

"Good job Mitsuru." Mahiru said ruffling his hair. "Yeah, whatever."

Back at the Room

"Mitsuru?"

Looking up from the TV, he said "Yeah?"

Looking away and holding onto her arm she said "I'm sorry about the way I treated you earlier." This caught his attention. "I shouldn't have yelled at you. It's just that you treated her like you treat me all the time. I kinda, just, snapped because you pushed me to breaking point. I know I said I should forgive you, but I want you to forgive me." She finally looked up with pleading eyes.

"Please."

Mitsuru being Mitsuru couldn't turn down her pleading eyes. "Okay. I forgive you and I'm sorry too." He looked at her. "Wait, you aren't crying are you?"

Making each other cry

'Oh man! Now I made her cry! Think Mitsuru! Think! I know' grin'

"Don't cry Mahiru." Mahiru looked up. "You called me by my name!"

"Yeah, whatever."

"Thanks."

"So far everything is going according to plan. Mahiru and Mitsuru are together, and it looks like Mahiru has total control over him. From what happened today, it looks like she is not gonna let him out of her sight."

Tearing each other apart

"Excellent work agent, Mimi."

"Thank you, master. I will be sure to report back to you soon."

"Do as you wish, just make sure everything still goes as planned."

The next day

"Attention all passengers! This is your captain speaking."

Everybody looked up for some reason to the speaker phones.

"Today we will be porting on a nearby island called 'Homing Island'. When we are there, please feel free to explore, but be sure to come back to the ship before night fall. We will give you a further announcement when we port."

When the announcement was done, everybody looked around buzzing. They were all talking about how they had never heard of this island and if it even existed.

"Have you ever heard of 'Homing Island', Nozomu?" He shook his head. "What about you, Akira?" Same answer. "Mitsuru?" He looked at her. "Now if they don't know this stupid island…how the hell am I supposed to know it!"

"Just asking…" Nozomu and Akira looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Attention all passengers! This is your captain again!"

Once again everyone looked up.

"We are going to be at Homing Island in about ten minutes. Please get ready to board the island."

Mahiru looked at the guys. "Are you guys going to come…because I'm going and what if something happens to me…" Nozomu looked at Akira and laughed. "Oh. That's not our responsibility!" Mitsuru looked up hoping. No begging that it wasn't what he thought. "It's Mitsuru's!" They left laughing their heads off. "We're gonna go see if we can go hook up some chicks! See ya later!"

There was going to be hell on earth today.
