~Aki's POV~
"CHOO!" the sound caused all of us to look at Sachiko she blinked and tilted her head.
"What? It was just a sneeze~" she said.
"You're not getting sick, are you?" Akiko asked. Sachiko shook her head.
"Nah! I'm fine!"
"With that aside, can I please ask why we're at the park?" Kurami asked. She had her umbrella with her sheilding her from too much of the sunlight. She was wearing one of her gothic looking outfits.
"Kura-chan! You don't like parks?" Sachiko asked, looking at Kurami. She merely glanced at Sachiko.
"It's not that I don't like parks. I'm just not too fond of this much light." she replied. Sachiko tilted her head sideways.
"Kurami reminds me of a vampire or something." I said.
"Yeah. I mean, she can tolerate it and all, but she'll freak out when it's too much." Ami finished. That earned us a glare from her and we both shut up, but not before laughing.
"Come on now! It's the last day before school lets back in! We don't need to be arguing!" Akemi chimed in. The three of us looked at her, then back at each other. Ami and I shrugged while Kurami sighed.
"Fine. If you say so." she said.
"At any rate, what is it that you want us to do, Akemi?" Kamiko asked, looking around at the park we were all in. Akemi blinked and faltered for a moment.
"What if we just like. . hung out or something? You know, just taking a walk around and admiring everything?" she suggested.
"That's fine with me." I said.
"Sure, whatever." Ami said.
"I guess so." Kurami said.
"Yay! Can we go into town later too?" Sachiko asked.
"I'm fine with it." Akiko said. Naoko shrugged his shoulders.
"Might as well." he said.
"Alrighty, it's settled then!" Akemi said before marching off with us following behind her.
"By the way, we'll definitely visit the town, Sachiko." she said with a wink.
"Yay!" Sachiko cheered. Ami, Kurami and I all rolled our eyes while Kamiko had an amused look on her face and Naoko and Akiko laughed.
We did what Akemi said we were going to do for sure. We wandered around the park area for a good whlile taking in the scenery of things and I have to admit, it definitely was pretty. Ami seemed to think so too as well as the rest of the group. Once we finished with that, we went into the town.
That was something that was new to all of us. While Sachiko and Akemi were eager to see what was out and about, Ami and I were slightly uncomfortable yet interested in it all. Kurami didn't really show anything when it came to her opinion on the place, Kamiko was too busy observing the stores we walked by, and Akiko was making sure that Sachiko didn't run into anyone. Naoko was the only one who seemed like he was content with the whole idea.
"Nao-chaaan~" Ami said, poking his cheek. He glanced at her.
"You seem like you're familiar with these types of places." I said. We both looked at him.
"Have you been out and about here before?" we both asked in unison. Naoko merely shrugged his shoulders.
"Not really. I mean, my parents tell me to get out of the house and I just wander around and find myself here." he replied. Ami and I looked at each other and grinned.
"Well-" I started.
"If you're so familiar with the area-" Ami said.
"Why don't you show us all around?" we finished together. Akemi, Kamiko, Kurami, Akiko, and Sachiko all stopped and looked at us.
"What's going on?" Sachiko asked; tilting her head sideways.
"Naoko says he's been down this way before-" I started.
"So we were thinking that he should show us all around!" Ami finished.
"So wait, you know your way around here, Nao-chan?" Sachiko asked, with a sparkle in her eye.
"That settles it! Naoko, you're going to show us around!" Akemi declared. I swore I could have seen Naoko roll his eyes.
"Why do I have to? It's not like you'll get lost." he said.
"I beg to differ. I am sure of the fact that, Akemi could easily get herself lost in a place like this. Kurami would most likely stay put in one spot, Sachiko would bound off by herself with Akiko following her and Aki and Ami would be off doing something in their terms as "fun"." Kamiko concluded.
"Hey!" Ami and I both said, clearly not expecting what Kamiko had said.
"I would not get lost!" Akemi defended. Sachiko just giggled and Akiko sighed. Kurami on the other hand didn't say a word. 'She knows Kamiko got her there.'
"Fine. Fine, you have a point." Naoko said, raising his hands in defeat.
"Where exactly is it you all want to go?" he asked. We all looked at each other for a moment as if trying to decide.
"Anywhere in this vicinty!" Akemi concluded. That's exactly what we ended up doing too. Naoko was in front of us as we all followed his lead and looked inside the many different shops that the town seemed to offer; there was even a candy shop(much to Sachiko's delight and Kamiko's disdain.
"Lookie! It's full of sweets!~" Sachiko cheered, running inside.
"All of this stuff is full of unwanted calories. ." Kamiko muttered to herself.
"Oh come on, Kamiko! It's not like you're going to be eating any of it." Ami and I said.
"They have a point! Now let's get going before Sachiko decides to raid this poor little place!" Akemi said, dragging Kamiko behind her. Ami and I laughed while Kurami pinched the bridge of her nose and Naoko just rolled his eyes as we followed behind them. It was a small little shop, but full of sweets nonetheless.
~Sachiko's POV~
This place was full of sweets! It's like my own little paradise! I walked around the small little shop and looked around at what it had to offer. There were candies and cakes and stuff like that which of course I enjoyed! Just as long as it wasn't coconut flavor. . yuck!
"Aki-chan, Kura-chan, Ake-chan, Kami-chan, Ki-chan, Mi-chan, Nao-chan look at all the stuff they have here!" I cheered once I was finished looking around at everything. The shopkeeper was looking at us as if he was amazed to see us here and I looked right back at him and blinked.
"Is there something wrong mister?" The shopkeeper then sweatdropped.
"N-Nothing at all. ." he replied.
"Okay then!~" I cheered. We spent a good ten to fifteen minutes in there before we left. I got a couple bags of sweets which would basically soon be devoured anyways.
"Sachiko, don't eat them all at once okay? Remember what happened last time?" Akiko reminded me. I blinked, then flinched.
"I remember. I had this huge tummy-ache and none of you would let me eat anything sweet. ." I grumbled, remembering those two horrible days very clearly. I didn't want to relive that again at all.
The rest of the day went by relatively quickly. We wandered around the little town stopping to look in basically all of the shops with everyone finding a particular shop that they liked. Kamiko and Naoko found this store with a lot of books in it, Akemi found this clothing store with dresses in it, Akiko and Kurami found this weird little music store, and Aki and Ami found this artsy store and they all were pretty happy with the things they got. We ended up all getting picked up in Ki-chan and Mi-chan's family limo and the driver took us all home. The first one to go was Akemi who waved when the limo had come to a stop and she got out.
"I'll see you all tomorrow!" she said before shutting the door after we all waved and chorused an: "Okay!" and the limo took off again.
"Ki-chan, Mi-chan! How do you feel about going to High School now?" I asked the both of them. They looked at me, then at each other and shrugged.
"Even though we'll be new to the school-" Aki started.
"That doesn't mean that we'll be any different towards it." Ami said.
"We don't exactly have any feelings towards it. Just another chapter to get through." they finished.
"Do you two always think like that?" Naoko asked.
"Of course!" Aki said.
"It's a lot more fun that way!" Ami finished. Naoko sighed, Kurami rolled her eyes, Akiko laughed, Kamiko had an amused look on her face, and I just giggled.
"Miss Sutamisha. We have arrived at your home." the driver then said, catching our attention. Kamiko looked out the window and chuckled.
"Would you look at that? It seems we have arrived here already." she said before the door opened and she stepped out.
"I suppose I will see you all tomorrow then. Make sure to get a good night's rest. You do not know what it is that Akemi might have up her sleeve this year." she said before walking off towards her own estate and the door closed immediately after.
"She does have a point. Who knows what, Akemi is plotting?" Kurami said. Aki and Ami laughed, Naoko nodded in agreement, and Akiko and I just giggled. We basically just talked the rest of the time until we reached Kurami's home and she quickly made her exit from the limo, waved, and then walked off.
About ten minutes later we reached, Naoko's home. He looked slightly relieved, but Aki and Ami were clinging to him saying that he didn't have to leave and he yelled at them about something about them being in his personal space before finally being able to get out of the limo, waving, then headed quickly inside.
"Ki-chan, Mi-chan. You know Nao-chan doesn't like people in his personal space." I said once the limo started moving again.
"We know. It's just fun to mess with him~" they both said. Soon enough, we arrived at my place and Akiko's was basically right next to mine.
"Ki-chan, Mi-chan! Today was fun! We'll see you tomorrow!~" I said and dragged Akiko with me. She looked a little shocked, but waved at Aki and Ami before the doors closed, the driver got back in the limo and closed his own door, then took off.
~Ami's POV~
That was the last of our little group to get dropped off. I let out a sigh.
"How do you really feel about going to the High School, Aki?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"It's like I said. Just a new chapter in a school life. Hopefully this one will be more interesting than the middle school chapter." she replied. I nodded in agreement.
"We'll just have to wait and see won't we?" I asked. Aki grinned.
"Indeed we shall~"
A/N: Chapter two! The chapters I already have typed up will be posted tonight~
