Chapter 4

Hi guys sorry I haven't updated in a little while! I was really busy with school and I got sick, so I'm here with a new chapter! Please leave a review for faster updates and I hope you enjoy!

Ayumi's POV

They all helped set up the picnic. Satoshi took everything out of the basket and Naomi set up the blanket. Yoshiki rested his guitar case on one of the trees that was going to be used for the hammock. He and everyone else helped set up the hammock in the two shady trees next to their blanket in the park. They all sat down in a circle around the basket. Satoshi sat next to Naomi, Ayumi next to Yoshiki, Mayu next to Morishige and Seiko plopped down on top of Naomi.

"Seiko! We're in public!" Naomi yelled. Seiko stuffed her face in Naomi's chest.

"But I can't resist Naomi!" She exclaimed, "I also need more pictures of Naomi's butt for a clay sculpture I'm making!" Naomi facepalmed and shoved Seiko off of her.

"Seiko! Don't be a pervert!" Seiko gave her a smug smile and they all started eating.

"Ok, so I have two questions. First, do you guys want to get ice cream after lunch?" Ayumi asked.

"Ya!" Mayu squealed.

"Great! And second, what are you guys going to dress as at the Halloween Dance?" She wondered. Satoshi grabbed Naomi's arm and pulled her towards him.

"I'm being a bat and Naomi's being a witch!" He replied. Seiko giggled.

"I'm being an evil clown" She practically screamed in joy. Mayu started bouncing up and down.

"I'm being a cute black cat! Shige, what are you going to be?" She said yanking lightly on his gray sleeve.

"A vampire." He declared, "What are you two being?" He gestured at Ayumi and Yoshiki. They smiled and Yoshiki laced his fingers with hers.

"We're going to be werewolves, but we want to try winning Haunter Queen and King." Yoshiki revealed.

"Oh! Right! You guys are dating now!" Mayu exclaimed. They looked at each other.

"We were actually going to go together before we started dating." Yoshiki explained. Everyone except Satoshi was very confused. "Remember when she wanted to ask me a question in the hallway yesterday. She asked me to go with her and help her win Haunter Queen." They all nodded slowly.

"Then, he saved me from the fire and we both got to Satoshi's house early today. He confessed and then we got together." Ayumi finished for him. Mayu was the only one who still looked confused.

"Wait, so you got together at Satoshi's house this morning?" Yoshiki nodded in confirmation. Seiko latched onto Naomi and giggled.

"When are you going to ask your dear Mochida out Naomi!" Satoshi and Naomi blushed.

"Seiko!" Naomi scolded. Seiko smirked and didn't let go.

They all inhaled their sandwiches and Ayumi looked up at Yoshiki who had a couple little crumbs around his mouth. She reached up with her napkin and wiped it off. He looked over at her, his mouth stuffed.

"What?" He mumbled with food in his mouth, obviously confused. She smiled at him.

"You had a crumb." He swallowed and chuckled softly, grinning back at her. Mayu giggled and lightly yanked on Morishige's sleeve. He looked down at her with no expression.

"Shige-ni! Aren't they cute!" She exclaimed. He looked away from her.

"Public displays of affection disgust me." He stated simply. She frowned.

"Shige-ni! Lighten up we're having a picnic and it's a beautiful day!" She pleaded pointing at the sun, which was glimmering down on them. He looked back at her, a smile playing at his lips. Satoshi was still eating his sandwich, everyone else had finished.

"Any day now." Yoshiki smirked. Satoshi glared at him and Naomi giggled quietly. Yoshiki got up and jumped onto the hammock, which swayed under the new weight. He rested on his back and closed his eyes. Ayumi took her chance and leapt on top of him. He groaned and opened his eyes as she rolled over next to him. Naomi and Satoshi both burst out laughing.

"Mayu's right! You guys are really cute together!" Naomi exclaimed, "Satoshi are you done eating yet?! I want ice cream!" He finally stopped laughing and answered.

"Yes, I am actually! So we are getting that ice cream right now!" He declared while standing up from his seat on the red and white checkered blanket.

"Oh I bet Naomi loves her little Mochi taking charge!" Seiko chorused. Naomi rolled her eyes and glared at Seiko. Mayu and Morishige both got up, Mayu was tightly grasping his arm.

"I just want to lie here for a little while!" Ayumi whined, curling up in the hammock. Yoshiki smirked, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder.

"Let's go!" He agreed. Ayumi started pounding on his back,

"Put me down!" He didn't and they all started walking towards the shop, "Yoshiki frigging Kishinuma put me down now!" She shrieked, he looked behind his shoulder at her and grinned.

"We are getting ice cream, you are going to like it, and let me pay." She stopped for a second and then continued smacking his back.

"You aren't paying for it!" She yelled as they marched into the small shop to get their frozen treats. Naomi and Satoshi were walking behind them, practically crying. Mayu covered her mouth, attempting to stay quiet. Seiko was secretly trying to touch Naomi's butt just like always.

"Y-you guys!" Satoshi bent over, laughing hysterically, "are too funny!" He was almost rolling on the floor by the time they ordered.

"We'll have two small chocolates in a cup please." She heard Yoshiki tell the cashier. They all went over to a booth after everyone received their ice cream. Yoshiki gently put Ayumi down next to him.

"You should be saving up! Not buying me ice cream that I won't finish." She scolded lightly.

"But I wanted to." He said simply, smiling brightly.

"Wait! How did you know my favorite flavor is chocolate?" She wondered. He looked down sadly.

"When I was a kid I always saw you hanging out with friends here, that was before my parents… you know." He looked down sadly. She rubbed his back.

"I know we don't really understand but, remember, we'll be your new family! Right guys!?" Everyone smiled, even Morishige.

"Of course we will!" They all said at once. Satoshi leaned over and put his hand on Yoshiki's shoulder.

"Don't worry bro, you aren't alone anymore!" Satoshi exclaimed. Yoshiki looked at all of them,

"Thanks guys, you really don't know how much this means to me." Yoshiki responded sincerely, opening up a little more.

They all finished their ice cream and walked back to their spot in the park. Seiko sprung up and face planted in the grass.

"I claim this circle of grass! If anyone comes onto it I get to touch their butt!" She cried happily. Naomi put her hands on her hips.

"Seiko! Everyone in the park can hear you!" She shouted. Seiko snuggled into the grass.

"Perfect! Now everyone knows not to invade my realm of green!" She explained. Morishige looked at her in distaste, Yoshiki sat down on the hammock with his legs hanging off. Ayumi started sprinting towards him.

"Catch me!" She yelled and jumped up at him. He stood up and caught her, wrapping his arms around her small frame. He laid back in the hammock with her still in his arms. She rolled over next to him.

"Why do you guys get the hammock?" Satoshi pouted and crossed his arms.

"Because we are the only official couple here." Yoshiki told him. Satoshi laid down on part of the picnic blanket, Naomi sat close to him. Mayu plopped down in the grass and Morishige awkwardly sat down next to her. He looked away and Mayu blushed. Yoshiki rolled his eyes.

"Oh come on you two! You're only sitting next to each other in the grass!" Morishige glared at him but got a smidge closer to Mayu. Seiko giggled.

"Listen to the two lovebirds over there!" She chimed in. Morishige looked back at Yoshiki and Ayumi.

"Well I don't see you two doing anything besides laying down either, so who are you to talk." Morishige retorted. Ayumi pulled herself up higher on the hammock and forcefully pressed her lips to Yoshiki's. She pulled away and they both smirked at Morishige, who looked utterly appalled. Satoshi cracked up and accidentally rolled into a small ditch.

"Really Satoshi." Naomi looked down at him, not impressed. Seiko had fallen asleep and was face down in her little circle of grass, drool was dripping out of her mouth. Mayu peered up at Morishige and grabbed onto his arm.

"Oh come on Shige-ni! Do you really think girls have cooties or something!" Mayu squealed.

"Or course not Mayu! I just thought you wouldn't want to sit with me!" He assured her. She hugged him and smiled.

"Why wouldn't I? We're friends!" Yoshiki took his chance and snickered at Morishige.

"So you think boys have cooties!" Normally Morishige probably would've snapped at Yoshiki, but instead, he laughed with everyone else.

"Kishinuma, I now understand that you're only joking when you say offensive things to your friends." Morishige observed.

"Who said I was joking." Yoshiki said, faking seriousness. Everyone laughed and Ayumi smacked his arm .

"Yoshiki!" She warned him. He winced and put his hands in the air.

"Ow! I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Even Morishige laughed again.

"That's the spirit Shige-ni!" Mayu beamed. Seiko stirred, and sat up. Naomi looked at her and immediately chucked five napkins in her direction.

"Eww! Seiko!" Naomi groaned. Seiko had drool splattered all over her face and dirt clinging to the side of her head. Seiko giggled and Yoshiki sneakily pulled something out of his guitar case. He handed it to Ayumi, but nobody noticed until he yelled.

"Shinohara close your eyes!" She did, and faced the couple. Ayumi pulled the trigger on the small squirt gun and sprayed icy water all over Seiko's face. The dirt and drool splashed off her, into the grass.

"That's better! Thanks Class rep!" Naomi giggled as Seiko wiped the water off. Suddenly, Seiko made a cat face and leaped into the sky, landing right on top of Naomi.

"I'm clean so I can touch Naomi again!" She screeched cheerfully. Morishige glanced at Yoshiki.

"Did that squirt gun come from your guitar case?" He asked curiously. Yoshiki snickered and nodded.

"Yep! I have a bunch of random things that I always keep in there." He explained. Morishige frowned and pointed at the case.

"Is there even a guitar in there?" He questioned. Yoshiki grinned and hopped out of the hammock.

"Of course there is! Music is the only thing I'm good at!" He unzipped the case and pulled out the instrument. He sat down on a large stone next to the hammock. Ayumi sprung off the hammock and sat criss cross in the grass next to him.

"Yoshiki will you please sing a song? I've never heard you sing!" She begged. He smiled and nodded.

"Sure! Why not?" He replied cheerfully.
