Chapter 5

Trouble

As I found out later Mai decided to make a camping trip to celebrate their graduation. And of course she had invited all formal HiMEs, Tate, Takumi, Chie and Aoi. Oh! I forgot Reito. How could Shizuru go without him! Yes, I really hate him sometimes. But don't worry Shizuru, I will get used to him and I will share your happiness with you. Now about camping trip. The place where are they planning to go is a top secret and guess who found it? Of course it was Midori! Who else would make secrets about camping place? Sometimes I wonder how old she really is. Maybe five? Oh well… The camping trip was supposed to begin on Friday morning and end on Sunday evening. Shizuru was really excited, as I figured out it will be her first camping trip. Reito as always was helping her with things which she needed to take and do before going on a trip. He has already camped before, so he knew what she should take with her. How I wished to be the one who helped her, but again my wish couldn't come true.

It was already Friday; the morning sun was shining brightly lightening Shizurus room. Warm sun rays were playing on her face and big smile grew there while she was sleeping. I sat there, on the edge of the bed and admired her beauty. But soon I was brought back to reality when the alarm clock began to ring. It was six o'clock in the morning and Shizuru should get ready, because hour later our dear friends will come to pick her up. She lazily opened one eye and looked at the clock. She sighed, but managed to get up. Seeing her sleepy form I giggled. It is rare to see her in such a state even when I'm always around her and she can't hide anything from me. If to be true, sometimes I'm really glad that I'm a ghost, because I found out a lot of things about her which I didn't know before. I never knew that she likes to read books half-naked. Does she remember things better like this? She also likes to sing when no one hears her and she has a very beautiful voice. She could become a great singer, but sometimes I'm glad that only I can hear her.

Standing, I followed after her to the shower. As always I turned around and this time I could control my blushes. After having a good shower, she got dressed and went downstairs to have her early breakfast. She was finishing her meal, when somebody knocked on the door. One of the maids made her way to the door and opened it. A loud voice was heard and I recognized it immediately.

"Hey there! Where is Fujino? We have to hurry!"

"Hello Midori-san" answered Shizuru stepping behind maids back.

"Oh, here you are! So where is your luggage?" asked Midori looking around.

"It is upstairs"

"Great! Hey Tate, come here! We need man's strength!"

"Why me?" was heard Tates annoyed voice.

"Because you are the only man here! Now bring your lazy butt here!"

"Geez…" sighed Tate and entered the house "Hello Fujino-san, so where is your luggage?"

"In my room. Wakaba-san please show him where it is"

"Yes, Fujino-san. Please follow me" answered maid and lead the way.

'Oh I really want to see Tates reaction, when he will see her luggage' I smiled looking at his leaving figure.

"Midori-san I'm glad that Tate is helping me, but where is Reito?"

"Oh! Thanks for reminding me. Reito said that he has some business to do, so he will come later"

"Does he know the place where we are going?"

"I explained him everything so don't worry!" Midori smiled putting her hands on hips.

'If it was you who explained him then Shizuru should be really worried right now"

"ARE YOU JOKING???!!!" was heard Tates scream and everybody looked upstairs "Fujino-san! Where do you think you are going? On a month trip?!" asked Tate showing on the top of the stairs.

"Ara, it is my first camping trip, so I didn't know what to take" answered Shizuru and innocently smiled.

"Do you really need tea pot? And what about all these underwear!"

'WHAT?! Did he open her luggage?! I will kill him!'

"Ara, I thought that Tate-kun is interested In Mai, but now…" said Shizuru pulling one hand to her face and making disappointed face.

"N-N-No! I… I'll better go after l-luggage – shouted red as tomato Tate and ran back to the room.

"Shizuru-san, do you really need all these things?" asked Midori.

"No, I was hoping to make fun o Reito, but Tate-kun seems to be even better – she giggled.

'Oh you little devil! Now I'm really glad that I'm dead. Poor Tate…If I was still alive, I don't know what she would do to me! I think I would die from embracement!'

Suddenly hard footsteps were heard and Tate with two big bags on his back appeared on the stairs. Luggage was really hard and Tates legs moved very slowly. His whole body shook and sweat like rain ran down his body. If it wasn't Shizuru who stopped him I think he would fell.

"Ara, Tate-kun. You can take my luggage back"

"WHAT?!" Tate froze.

"It is not my luggage which I'm taking with me. It was just a joke" Shizuru smiled again.

"JOKE?!"

"Yes, I planned it for Reito but as you can see he is not here."

Not saying a word Tate turned around and some seconds later loud noise was heard. It seems that he didn't bring luggage back.

"You are really evil sometimes, Fujino-san" noticed Midori smirking.

'If you only knew…'

"I think I should help him" still smiling answered Shizuru and went upstairs.

Some time later and finally Shizuru and Tate appeared on the stairs. Holding his back, Tate slowly went downstairs and behind him went Shizuru holding on her back middle sized back. 'Forgive me Teta, if I could communicate with you I would warn you about her prank' I sighed watching poor guy.

"Kanin na, Tate-kun" apologized Shizuru.

„No problem!" replied Tate with hurt expression.

"Ok lets hurry!" shouted Midori "Or we will never come there!"

Going outside I saw angry Mai, standing near Yokos car.

"Tate please explain me, why were you looking through Kaichous luggage?"

"B-Because it w-was opened…" he answered smiling innocently.

Throwing dark glare in his direction Mai faced Shizuru with big smile.

"Nice to see you Kaichou!"

"Ara, Mai. Didn't we have a deal?"

"Oh, gome ne Shizuru" apologized Mai brushing back of her neck.

Shizuru just smiled. Soon six of them, including Mikoto and Yoko, were sitting in the car and ready for a trip. All seats were taken so I couldn't sit inside. That means I was sitting in the carrier which was full with bags. I never thought that ghost can feel uncomfortable… All bags and items were placed through or inside my body, making strange feeling. My head could be found inside of the car, which was observing everybody. Especially my butterfly… As everybody were placed in, the car began to move. Suddenly memories about my last trip with Yoko appeared in my mind. Sometimes I wondered, maybe Schumacher and she are related? Because she was driving at such a high speed in such narrow roads that I wondered how something this big as car could drove without hitting anywhere. Yes, I also drove fast my motorcycle but it is motorcycle! It is narrow and you easily can avoid any kind of accidents, but car… I really wonder how people can drive them.

Today's day trip wasn't an exception. Yoko was staring as always. She drove car so fast that sometimes people sitting in the car were pushed to their sits and only noses were seen.

"YOKO! We aren't on fire!" shouted Midori holding tightly to her belt.

"But we soon will!" shouted Tate.

"Mai, is fired car tasty?" asked Mikoto whose body wasn't seen anymore.

"NO!" shouted Mai and grabbed Tates hand.

"You are no fun!" protested Yoko, but she didn't even think about slowing down.

I'm already dead and I shouldn't worry, but her driving really scared me. Besides it was very uncomfortable as my body always flew in all directions. Sometimes I even had to run after car! Finally she stopped. The doors immediately opened and guys jumped out of the car.

"Ground! My lovely ground!" shouted Midori and falling on knees began to kiss it.

"I'm with you!" said Tate and joined her.

"Me too!" exclaimed Mai and Mikoto in one voice and joined the others planting ground with kisses.

"Oh come on! It wasn't even fast!" protested irritated Yoko "The real speed was when I was late on my friends wedding party" she said dreamly.

"Thank God I didn't go with you back then!" shouted Midori looking at her friend and then again continued her work.

"Ara, but I enjoyed today's ride very much" said smiling Shizuru exiting the car "You are great driver!"

Everybody raised their head and looked at her like she was crazy.

"Finally someone estimate my skills!" said proud Yoko.

"You both are crazy!" proclaimed Midori.

'How much I like the speed, but Yokos driving is definitely dangerous for life! Even I'm scared, although I always liked speed! Cars are definitely dangerous!'

"What a nice view. I didn't know that you love our mother Earth so much" was heard someone's voice. Raising heads we all saw Reito who was wearing crosses, white T-shirt, red shorts and bag on his back. Smile as always shone on his face.

"Reito? I thought you will come later" said Shizuru and moved towards him.

'Why did you have to come right now when things were becoming interesting?!'

"I wanted to see you, so I decided to finish my work later"

"How sweet" said Shizuru and kissed him on the cheek.

"Ok, guys lets start moving!" said Midori rising on her legs.

"Did you plan to go without us?" was heard someone's firm voice.

Looking around we saw Haruku, Takumi, Chie, Aoi and other former HiMEs.

"You are already here too? Wow people! You are really fast!"

"We couldn't miss fun" smirked Chie and began to take photos.

"I hope that everybody are already here" said Midori and began to look around.

"Yep, everybody is here" answered Haruka crossing hands on her chest.

"Then MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!"

With those words Midori grabbed her luggage and went in front of everybody. Sighing, others took their backs and followed after their leader.

'I hope we won't be lost' with that thought I joined the group. In the middle of group went Shizuru and Reito who were sweetly talking about something. Reito wanted to carry her back, but she was against and said that wants to do it by herself. I went as the last one, because I didn't want them to pass through me. It isn't very pleasant feeling especially after ride like this.

We walked down the path for about twenty minutes and then we were standing in front of a big forest. Everybody carefully looked inside before heading after their leader again. The forest was very big and creepy. All kind of scary shadows were seen and hitting branches sounds were heard. 'I wonder where is she taking us? If it is the best place for camping then I'm duck!' But soon the area became lighter and we found ourselves on a cliff. There beneath us a beautiful view was seen. A lot of trees tops were seen and a wide river was running there, shining in a sun rays which were beautifully shining upon it.

"Here we are!" shouted Midori.

"Are we going to stay on this cliff?" asked Mai.

"Of course no! We are going down!" exclaimed Midori pointing down.

"It will take some hours to get there!"

"And what did you think camping is?" asked Midori with raised eyebrow.

"Well… I… u…."

"I see… Ok people lets go!"

Not saying a word she moved forwards. Sighing for another time, everybody followed her. The trip was very long and hard and it was one more moment when I was glad that I'm dead. Ghosts can't feel tired. Midori led the way through the thick forest and bogs. Some of creepy branches tore people clothes and even left some bruises. During this walk Haruka managed to fell into a bog and everybody had to take her back, while she didn't sink. Yukino told her about hundred times not to move, but she is Haruka isn't she? She screamed and tugged what made her sank even faster. When guys pulled her back she was all in mud. Although situation was serious, I couldn't stop giggling. After that incident Midori decided to have a break, which longed for twenty minutes. After Haruka cleaned herself and Yoko checked is everything ok, our group mowed once more. This time we were more careful and managed to get to the point without any incidents.

The place where we came was clear spot among the trees not far from river. Sun was already going down, so they quickly put tents and went for some wood to make bonfire. Midori as always stood on one of stumps and moving her hands in all directions lead the group who looked at her from corners of their eyes. When the bonfire was fired everybody sat in circle. Haruka joined later, because she needed to wash herself and change clothes. This time accident with Suzushiru was greeted with laughter when everybody remembered what happened some time ago.

"You should see your face Haruka! It was hilarious!" laughed Midori holding her stomach.

"It wasn't bunny!" protested Haruka.

"It is 'funny' Haruka-chan" corrected Yukino

"That is what I said!"

"Mikoto your words 'I'm starving' killed me!" laughed Nao "Even in this kind of situation the only thing you can think about is food!"

"It's not my fault! It is my stomach which still thinks it's hungry" cried Mikoto making puppy eyes.

"Ok, I will make something to eat" answered Mai.

Chat continued about different kind of things and I really enjoyed sitting there with them, but two persons who didn't pay attention to conversation got my attention more. It was Shizuru and Reito who were sitting under the tree. Holding each other they had their own chat. I don't know about what, because I was sitting in the circle. Seeing them together was still painful. When they were ready to kiss Midori shouted.

"Have a room already!"

"Sorry Midori-san, but I can't see any rooms here" answered Reito.

"Then find bushes!"

"Ok, lets go Shizuru" answered Reito and got up.

"Where?" asked Shizuru.

"To the bushes" he smiled helping her to stand.

"Reito!"

"Just kidding" he laughed.

"Ikezu" answered blushing Shizuru.

"Lets go to the river"

Shizuru just nodded and followed after him. So did I, I couldn't be too far from her so I had to follow.

"Be careful!" shouted Midori "Water flow is very fast and strong there!"

"Don't worry, we'll be fine" answered Reito.

Without saying any words, Reito and Shizuru moved into the forest. I went behind them and I clearly could see them holding each others hands. Soon sound of running water was heard. Walking some more meters we found ourselves in front of wide river. Midori didn't lie. The water flow was really fast and strong here. 'Why couldn't they go to more peaceful place? Wait! Maybe it's even better. It isn't too romantic here, so nothing special will happen… well I hope so' I turned around to see what were they doing but turned back immediately 'I was wrong' And what should I expect from them? After some time hugging and kissing each other they let go. But before going back, Shizuru wanted to see water closer. The bank of the river was about meter higher above the water, so you should bent a little to see it clearly.

"Be careful" warned Reito.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" smiled Shizuru and came closer.

The water was fast and sound of it hitting against shore and stones filled the area.

"Come Shizuru, lets find more peaceful place"

"But I like it here. The sound of running water is very calming"

"You are really strange sometimes" smiled Reito "Other people like peaceful water more, but you…"

"You should already figure it out till now that I'm not like all people" she smiled in reply.

"How could I forget it"

"Well, I think we really should go back" answered Shizuru and looked at dark skies.

Hearing that they are going back, I turned around and made my way but then… A crack was heard followed by Reitos scream.

"SHIZURU!"

I quickly turned around and my eyes widened in shock from what I saw. The part of shore where Shizuru stood broke and now she was falling down into the streams of cold water. 'No, no, no…'

"SHIZURU!"

So what do you think? Hope you liked humor. Please review ; )
