Late Night Angel 2011-07-09 . chapter 10

Hee that is a very interesting story for friendship. I always love those poems that spell things with the first letter of the first word of the line :). But it definitely explains why they respect Daichi so much. The end where Daichi spit out his water in response to Hiroshi's suggestion made me laugh I think that is the closest Daichi has ever come to being flustered in this story (except of course when he was angry at Yumi). Great job! Can't wait to read the next chapter! It always makes my day that much better when I get the e-mail alert saying this story has been updated :)

Aw, thanks! Yeah, those poems with the First letter are pretty awesome. I do need to add in moments where Daichi does respond; remember, he's human too. Also, it makes me happy that your days are happy because of my fic! It's stuff like this that encourages people to update more often!

love it and Daichi poem was so funny it seem his close friend have became his friend after a fight I really love the part where Hiroshi claim up a tree lol that was to funnycan't wait for fun in the sun I hope Riku and Luna join them you could have guys hit on them and see how the guys reaction to it

Yeah, I think it's about time that the cast had a break from school. ALL the chapters so far have been school related, so it's refreshing and fun if I can get a chance to write outside of that environment. We'll see if Riku and Luna join them… Oh, actually, I was planning to do what you wrote in the last line, but with a slight twist…

The First Day of Break, On A Bus, Headed Toward the Beach

Daichi, Hiroshi, Kiyoshi, Kaz, Luna, and Riku were headed off to the beach. They excitedly sat on the bus, waiting to get to their destination.

"Harima couldn't make it, huh?" Kaz asked Luna.

She shook her head.

"He said that he had other plans today. That's ok, though." said Luna.

"Hey Kaz," said Riku, "Do you mind if you go sit with the guys really fast?"

"Girl talk, huh? I'm out of here." said Kaz.

Kaz walked over to the guys and sat with them; they couldn't all get seats together, but Riku was ok with that, because she wanted to talk to Luna.

"Luna, what do you know about Daichi?" asked Riku.

"I know that he's quiet and can really control his emotions." said Luna.

"I already knew that… I was wondering if you knew anything else…" said Riku.

Luna thought for a bit.

"That's the thing; I can usually read people very well. I can tell what their intentions are and what kind of people they are. I can read it from their face… but I can't read Daichi's face. It irritates me a little bit. He just a really mysterious guy."

"Could you try and talk to him at the beach? Can you try to get to know him better so that I can know what he's like?" asked Riku.

"I don't get why you don't do that yourself." said Luna, giving a smile while she looked at Riku.

"Why are you looking at me like that?' asked Riku.

Luna laughed.

"No reason. Don't worry; I'll try my best."

An Hour Later

"Alright!" shouted Hiroshi. "It's time to get funk-ay!"

Hiroshi proceeded by doing impressive break dancing moves.

"Someone seems excited." said Kaz.

"It's been forever since we've been to the beach! I'm totally ready for this!"

"We need to go change first." said Kiyoshi.

The group had all pitched in and rented a beach house for the day; they'll enjoy the beach today, sleep at night, and get in a few more hours of shine before heading home. They headed over to their beach house and took turns switching into their swim suits. The boys went into the extra room and changed and the girls stayed in the main room to change.

Kaz, Hiroshi, and Kiyoshi automatically began changing. After they were done, Daichi hadn't changed at all.

"Umm… Daichi. You're supposed to change into your swimsuit." said Kaz.

"I wore my shorts over here. Didn't you guys do that?" asked Daichi.

The group felt kind of stupid for not doing that as well.

"Hey Daichi, why aren't you taking off you shirt? You're not going to swim with a shirt on, are you?" asked Kiyoshi.

Daichi sighed. He really didn't like being shirtless, but realized that he didn't really have a choice. He took off his shirt and the other boys were shocked.

"You have an EIGHT PACK?" shouted Kaz.

"How did you get that?" asked Hiroshi.

"You have to build muscle to do martial arts. Let's go now."

They opened the doors and headed to the beach. When Daichi saw that Luna and Riku were wearing one piece swim suits, he gave a sigh of relief.

"Aw… is Daichi disappointed that Riku isn't in a two piece?" asked Kiyoshi.

"I'm actually relieved that you aren't wearing a two piece." retorted Daichi.

"Owned!" shouted Kaz.

They found a spot on the beach. They set up their towels and an umbrella and sat down. Daichi pulled out a book, Riku and Luna talked, and the other guys headed out into the water.

"Aren't you guys coming?" asked Kaz.

"I got to a really good part in this book. I'll join you guys soon." said Daichi.

"We're going to talk for a bit." said Luna.

Kaz nodded and headed out into the water.

"There's a lot of people here today." said Luna.

Riku nodded. She couldn't help but notice Daichi; who knew he had abs? Daichi looked in her direction and she quickly darted her eyes away. Had he noticed her looking at him?

"Go talk to him." said Luna

"I thought that we agreed that you'll talk to him." said Riku.

"I'll talk to him tonight. You should talk to him now; I'm going into the water." said Luna.

She headed out toward the guys. Riku looked at Daichi, then around the beach. He was getting a lot of looks from the girls. Soon, a group of girls went up to Daichi.

"Hey, cutie; who might you be?" asked one of them.

"I'm Daichi Tanaka."

"Would you like to go get some ice cream or something?" asked the girl.

"No thank you. I'm here with my friends and I'm going to go hang out with them once I finish this chapter."

One of the girls grabbed his arm.

"C'mon! It'll only be for a minute!"

"No really; I'd rather not. Thank you for the offer, though." said Daichi.

Then another girl showed up and grabbed his arm. They forced him up. Riku decided to take action. She ran over to Daichi and grabbed his hand. The girls stared strangely at them.

"I'm sorry I took so long, honey!" said Riku.

"I've got to go now; it was nice meeting you, Daichi!"

The girls ran off. As soon as they left, Riku let go of Daichi's hand. He smiled at her.

"Thank you. Now I can finish reading." said Daichi.

"Don't you want to go in the water?" asked Riku.

"I will, after this chapter."

Riku smiled.

"I'll meet you in there."

Daichi nodded. Riku headed out toward the rest of the group.

"What was that about?" asked Luna.

"A group of girls were bothering Daichi, so I stopped them." said Riku.

"Are you sure you weren't… jealous?" asked Kiyoshi.

"N-Not at all!" said Riku.

"Don't listen to him, Riku." said Luna.

Daichi came into the water. The continued swimming for a long while. The boys began rough housing, so the girls thought it was best to go dry off now.

"I have to ask you; do you like Daichi?" asked Luna.

"No… we're friends." said Riku.

"I know you like him. I can see it in your face." said Luna.

Riku put her head in her hands

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Kind of… but the only ones who have caught on are me and Kiyoshi. I don't think the rest of the boys figured it out yet." said Luna.

"You think you could find out for me?" asked Riku, with a smile.

"It's like I said before; it's hard for me to read him, but I can try and talk to him. I'll ask him straight out if he likes you and from there, I'll test his reaction." said Luna.

"Thank you." said Riku.

"It's not a… WHAT THE HECK?"

Luna looked over in a different direction and noticed Harima on the beach. She seemed to be getting angry.

"Control yourself, Luna! Try talking to him before you freak out!" said Riku anxiously.

Luna took a deep breath.

"You're right; I better hear his side of the story." said Luna. "But I'll be back in a second…"

Luna headed back to the beach house, at this time, the boys came back.

"Where's Luna going?" asked Kaz.

"I don't know; but she headed over to the beach house after seeing Harima on the beach." said Riku.

Kaz looked around anxiously, his eyes filled with fear.

"H-H-Harima's here? Oh crap! Luna better not do anything stupid, because Harima will blame it on me! Then he'll… then he'll…"

Kaz rolled up into a fetal position, completely struck with fear. A few minutes later, Luna came back from the beach house. She was now wearing a bikini. All of the guys were looking at her as she walked down the beach. The only person who didn't notice her was Harima. Riku looked at Daichi, hoping he wouldn't be gawking too. Daichi looked at his friends faces, looked at the direction the looked for a second, then went back to his book. Riku gave a sigh of relief. Luna came up to Harima from behind and hugged him.

"Kenji! What a coincidence!" said Luna.

"Luna? What are you doing here?" asked Harima.

"I invited you to the beach too! Why didn't you go with us?" asked Luna.

"I had already made plans with them! I agreed to go to the beach with them a week before you asked me. It would have been rude if I just cancelled on them." said Harima.

Luna looked to the left. She noticed Tenma was with the group.

"I see… you came here to be with HER… You do know how I feel about HER, don't you Kenji?" asked Luna.

Harima gulped. He knew this wasn't a good situation. She looked up at Harima, her eyes now green.

"She's dead…" whispered L to Harima.

L ran at Tenma with full throttle. Tenma took notice of this and ran away, screaming at the top of her lungs. L grew closer to Tenma, with the craziest look in her eyes. Hiroshi looked down at Kaz, who was still in a fetal position.

"You better do something about L, before she kills someone. Then Harima will kill you." said Hiroshi.

Kaz's eyes widened. He leaped up and chased after L. She was still chasing Tenma. As Tenma ran, she tripped over a rock. L then tripped over Tenma. L went flying through the air, landed on her hands, and launched herself back in Tenma's direction, aiming a kick at her face. Tenma quickly rolled out of the way. L's attack missed. At this point Kaz had caught up to the two and proceeded by tackling L.

"Stop!" shouted Kaz.

He had L pinned to the ground. She was still trying to get at Tenma, struggling to attack her. She then noticed Kaz. She seemed to have calmed down, so Kaz let her up.

"Are you ok now?" asked Kaz.

Her eyes became blue. She pulled Kaz closer to her.

"I'm better than ok; I have you with me." said Lulu.

"Umm Harima, you wouldn't happen to have any sour heads on you; would you?" asked Kaz.

Lulu's eyes turned to Harima.

"Kenji!" she shouted, pouncing on him and kissing him like crazy.

Daichi came walking up at this time. He held out a sour head to Lulu. She ate it straight from his hand. Her eyes went back to being one blue and one green. She looked around and noticed everyone on the beach was staring at her.

"Yeah, I know what I did… I'm sorry." said Luna.

The rest of the group came up to them.

"Hey Luna. It's getting kind of late. We might as well head back to the beach house, huh?" said Kiyoshi.

Everyone looked at the sky. It was starting to be a sunset.

"Were we really in the water that long?" asked Hiroshi.

"Yes." said Daichi, pulling out his watch, "You guys had been in for a good hour before I joined you, then we were in for another three hours."

"You're joking, right?" asked Hiroshi.

Daichi shook his head.

"Anyway, it probably is best if we head back to the beach house. It was nice seeing you again, Harima." said Kaz.

Kaz and Harima shook hands. Harima gave him a look that pretty much told Kaz not to try anything while they're in that beach house. The girls headed inside, and the boys began grilling burgers and hot dogs for dinner that night.
