hi, 400 chapters. whoo hoo
Just so you know (sarah) saying 'yay' for fourteen chapters or whatever you did doesn't really count... but i said 400, so whatev.
Hope the rest of y'all like the chapter, and thanks for thinking bout my fitness, I've been on the wii fit plus on that kungfu thing, wow... my arms hurt.
Anyways, you all get teddys... just like Tamaki's... but cuter.
Ah, summer vacation...
The sand, the sun, the sea... just me and my friends, relaxing for days on end.
Or that's what it should have been... if my mum hadn't insisted I come home to spend 'quality' time with my family. And right now, sat on my new double bed, with Jamie and Leah screaming and running around my room... it didn't seem so good.
Takashi wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into a hug. He could probably see I wasn't pleased.
Oh, yeah, I persuaded my mum to let me bring along a friend, so she could see the type of people I hang around with. I just neglected to mention that I was kind of with Takashi or else she would have said no and he wouldn't be allowed in my room alone with me.
"Cheer up love." he whispered huskily in my ear, pulling me into his lap.
"And how do you suggest I do that?" I asked him, turning so I was straddling him and looking him in the eyes.
He smirked at me, quite sexily might I add, but that was never a good sign.
And almost as if he read my thoughts, his lips instantly found the sweet spot on my neck and I mewled quietly as he began his assault.
I forgot to mention the within the past four months we've been dating, we have gotten a lot more confident with showing our emotions... a.k.a. How much we just wanted to kiss.
Shoot me, I'm a teenager.
It really was only within the last month or so we got to real making out. We tried our best to keep it private so as not to make anyone else feel awkward, but when the twins or Honey pop their heads around the door and start giggling, or Kyouya just walks in and asks us to stop that before we suck the others face off... it really is quite hard.
And it's not easy here either... as parents tend to come up the stairs just when it starts getting good.
I rolled off him as if it was an instinct, and plopped down on the floor just as my mum walked into my room.
"Saori, Takashi, dinner will be ready in half an hour. Could you come down in a bit to help get drinks and cutlery?"
"Sure mum." I said cheerily (fake, of course).
"Yes ma'am." nodded Takashi (he could speak English too.... YAY!).
"Oh, Takashi, just call me Kath, everyone else does."
"Okay."
She then turned to the twins, who were trying their damned hardest to pull off a poster I had stuck up.
"You two, come one, help me make mash potatoes."
"Yay! Mash-mash!" shouted Leah, bounding after my mum, Jamie close on her heals.
I sighed and shook my head, getting up to follow, when Takashi grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back onto the bed.
"What are you doing mister?" I asked in a mock stern voice.
"Nothing. Yet." he smirked again.
"Oh really? Well I-"
He cut me off, by pressing his lips to mine gently. As soon as I responded he became much more wanting, until it escalated into make out step three : Frenching.
Oh yes. We have steps.
Step one: Gentle kisses.
Step two: Normal kissed (more than gentle, less than tongues).
Step three: Frenching.
Step four: Hot kisses.
Step five: Passionate... probably groping (not got there yet).
Step six: … Anything goes (not there either, yikes).
I mewled again as he left a trail of kisses down my neck to my collar bone, but stopped when mum shouted up.
"What are you two doing?"
"Just tidying up a little." replied Takashi, as he probably had his breathing more under control.
"Well hurry up!" she laughed.
He smiled down at me before pecking my lips once more and helping me up off the bed. He then hugged me close, just for a moment before letting me go.
He really was the best boyfriend.
And I only had three more days to spend with my mother and the others... then it was just me and him.
* * *
"Wait, what do you mean she's gone?"
I was back in Japan... as of last night. Since I'd traveled on one of Takashi's families planes, and we only arrived back late, I was allowed to stay the night at his.
It was really nice, and they even set me up a bed in his room (thanks to a little persuading) with some DVD's and other things, and we chilled out most of the time.
But after a few hours sleep, his alarm had gone off to indicate training started. He must have apologized a dozen or so times before he was happy I accepted it, and hey, three hours sleep wasn't so bad. And now I got to see him in action.
But that brings us back to a hysteric Tamaki on the phone, claiming Haruhi had been kidnapped by gypsies, her family was bankrupt, and they had been forced into servitude.
As if.
"Calm down Tamaki!" I cried out, trying to get him to shut up while Takashi stood nearby.
"Have you tried her cellphone?" asked Hikaru.
"WHY ON EARTH WOULD SHE HAVE A CELLPHONE?! Unless... she was issued one by a secret underground network of commoners known as the plebeian exchange."
I face-palmed. Hard.
"Not to interrupt your delusion, but Haruhi is currently in Karuizawa." drawled Kyouya. He was obviously still tired. It was only seven thirty in the morning.
I stretched my arms up, passed the phone to Takashi and then flopped back onto the grass.
After a few moments of conversation (on their side, Takashi mostly listened... with a few "yeah, I'm still here"'s dotted around) he sighed and hung up.
"Go pack your things." he said, scooping me up.
"Why?" I asked, looking as sweet as possible.
"We're all going to Karuizawa."
* * *
"Guys, I still say this is a bad idea." Apart from the fact that I was seriously jet lagged, and that I knew Haruhi was probably doing her summer job, flying in there in a helicopter was NOT a good idea.
"We have to rescue Haruhi..." whined Tamaki. He hadn't listened to a word I'd said in the past... however long it had been since we'd all met up. I tugged down the green sun dress that had rode up my legs and half my thighs, wiggled my toes in my sandals and relaxed against the soft seat.
I looked out the window and saw a tranquil little place, pretty small and rural... and really beautiful.
And I saw a large place, with a blue roof... and we were getting closer to it.
Then I saw Haruhi.
"Haruhi, despair not! Daddy's come to save you!"
We landed in a field not far from the B&B and walked the short distance to get there. Haruhi was glaring at us, so I averted my eyes and looked around.
I spotted a man dressed in womans clothings gaping out of one of the windows.
It wasn't so obvious at first, as he matched the décor in the background...
It was almost like playing 'Where's Wally?'.... good times...
"What are you doing here!?" shouted an aggravated Haruhi, fists balled up and a scowl on her face.
"Tamaki thought you'd been kidnapped by gypsies as your family had gone bankrupt and you'd been evicted." I said, glaring daggers into the blonds head.
"Well... that explains everything." she snapped, also glaring daggers at the blond.
She sighed, turned away and started walking inside. I could have sword I heard her counting to ten... or a hundred to calm herself.
We were then instantly glomped by the tranny.
"Oh my! What dashing young men you are! These hunks must belong to Haruhi!" then he spotted me. "Oh, and what a pretty young lady! Which one's yours then?"
He smiled expectantly at me, so I smiled back and took hold of Takashi's hand. He got the picture right away and beamed at me.
"Why don't you call me Misuzu?"
I glanced at Kyouya, me 'information?' face pasted on.
"He's an old friend of Ranka's, they worked at the same shop years ago."
Tamaki snapped. "Well, surely you would know."
Misuzu went hyper telling us that he went into business for himself years ago and loves they B&B and such things, and Kyouya went on to explain that this was Ranka's preferred method of keeping tabs on his daughter. Tamaki wasn't too pleased.
Then Misuzu went on about having to care for Haruhi while Ranka was away, and it was a shame that he couldn't pay her anything because she was such a good employee. Then he asked us what we thought of the apron he made her... to which we all (except Kyouya) gave a thumbs up.
"You are quite an exquisite seamstress!" smiled Tamaki.
* * *
"Why didn't you want to go to Bali with us? Just to work here?" asked the twins.
"And I asked you to go to Switzerland!" said Honey.
"I offered to let you come to England we me and Takashi." I sighed.
"She did." added Takashi, squeezing my shoulders lightly. He was stood behind the chair I was sat on.
"I still don't have a passport, remember?" sighed the brunette.
"Which is precisely why I recommended one of our domestic resorts. At a discount no less."
"You're all traitors, asking Haruhi to go on vacation with you behind my back!" cried Tamaki, throwing himself to his knees on the floor. "I strive for togetherness, work myself to the bone, and this is the thanks I get?"
I ignored him, and turned to ask Takashi if he wanted to sit down.
"But there's no other seats." he said, glancing up when Haruhi and the twins whipped out mobile phones to show Tamaki.
"Like that's a problem. When do I not sit on you?" I chuckled, he smiled at me.
"you have a point."
I got off the seat, let him sit down and then let him pull me down so I was comfortable on his lap. Just in time to see Haruhi tell Tamaki to come back from whatever planet he was currently residing on.
Laugh. Out. Loud.
"Don't I spend enough time with you guys in term to get to spend at least summer the way I want to?" she asked, brushing back lose hair.
"According to the handbook, jobs are prohibited." sneered Kyouya.
I rolled my eyes and snuggled into Takashi's chest as he looked over a book about Karuizawa while the twins started harping on about getting a job without the schools permission is grounds for expulsion.
"I think Karuizawa is nicer than Switzerland anyway." chimed Honey.
"Yeah, way nicer than Bali." chuckled Kaoru.
"I like it better than my mums house." I grumbled, making the guys laugh.
"Plus overseas travel is so exhausting." said Kyouya.
Tamaki looked thoughtful for a moment.
"You're right, you do have the right to spend your summer as you please. But then again, so do we. I for one find pension Misuzu to be very charming."
A look of horror crossed Haruhi's face, before she whispered 'NO'.
* * *
Apparently, there was only one room left. The boys all found it amusing (for lack of better word) to play a game. The challenge was to see who Misuzu would like to stay at the pension. You'd have to behave, and be 'refreshing' as the tranny put it.
I watched as Tamaki tried (and failed) to fix a fence, while Honey sat eating cake.
They were going to lose.
Kyouya was drinking tea... he obviously didn't gave a shit.
Inside the twins were taking bags up to the rooms, and sweeping young women off their feet.
Maybe... they had a chance.
Takashi was doing whatever odd jobs he was asked to do. Right now he was fixing legs on a table. I left him to it, and went inside.
"Haruhi, is there anything for me to do?" I asked.
"Well... not really, unless you want to drink coffee with Kyouya sempai... but there is a piano in the cafeteria area. You could see if you could play that."
"Okay."
I walked through on my own. There were only a few people, so I wouldn't disturb people if I got angry with the piano.
I looked and saw the white piano, but Tamaki was already looking at it, his brows creased.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing I just... thought of something. I don't know if I could play it though."
I grinned.
"Just try. If you made it yourself, you could go wrong and say you didn't. Sneakiness!"
He laughed a little, before turning his attention back to the piano.
His slid his fingers along some of the keys, and then...
