/Day 5/
Hikari woke up from a slight poke on her shoulder from someone.
She groaned, and opened her eyes to slits.
A certain guy with shining golden eyes and light brown hair was responsible for waking her.
"Takishima... What do you want?" Hikari muttered quietly.
"It's 11:30 am. I wanted to know if you wanted to go swimming with me, sense you didn't get to yesterday."
Hikari slowly rose up from her bed and yawned. "Sure. I'll get in my swimsuit."
Kei nodded and left her room and headed for his own so he could get in his suit.
Hikari closed her door, walked to her wooden dresser, and rummaged through the drawers for her suit.
She dressed, and went outside into the living room.
Kei was sitting on the beige couch in his trunks.
"Is Tamaki still sleeping?" Hikari asked.
"He is still sleeping. He stayed out swimming really late last night."
The two left the room.
"So... where's the pool anyways?" Hikari asked.
"Well, there are seven pools..."
Hikari's eyes widened. "Seven! Lets go to the biggest one."
"The biggest one has a lot of huge water slides. You wont get scared right, Miss Second Place?"
Hikari snorted. "As if."
Kei led Hikari to the top deck of the ship.
The pool was huge, and tons of people where in the pool. The water slides were towered over the pool.
"Lets ride the water slides first! There aren't that many people on them right now." Hikari suggested.
Kei didn't object.
They had to climb stairs to get to where the main water slide was, and half way up the stairs, Kei said, "Lets have a challenge. Sense we are going on a double slide for two people, The first person to get scared and hold on two the other person looses."
Hikari's eyes shined with confidence. "I wont loose!"
Kei smirked. "Lets see about that."
They went up the rest of the stairs. (The slide they were riding on was really wide, and two people were aloud at a time)
Kei and Hikari went up to the slide, and waited for the person in charge of the slide to tell them it was okay to go.
The person in charge of the slide gave them a gesture to go, and Hikari and Kei entered the slide.
They pushed themselves off so they could have an extra speed boost.
The water slide was really, really, fast.
Hikari was screaming incredibly loud. She wanted to hold on to Kei, but she knew that she would loose.
After another ten seconds, Hikari gave in and buried her head in Kei's shoulder.
Kei smiled lightly. "Miss Second Place, looks like I win again."
"Shush." Hikari muttered, her voice muffled by his shoulder.
The slide opened up into the main pool, and Hikari and Kei crashed into the pool together.
They swam into a small area in the pool where there weren't very many people.
Hikari splashed Kei's face and giggled.
Kei grinned, and splashed Hikari back.
Hikari's smiled a bright smile, and Kei felt his insides tingle with happiness. He loved her smile.
After a while of playing, Hikari spoke up.
"Takishima, they have a gym on this cruise, right?"
"Why? Do you want to exercise...?"
Hikari held her fist up motivation. "Yeah! Do you want to come with me?"
Kei said yes, of course.
(After Hikari and Kei where back at their room, dried off, dressed, and in the gym)
They entered the gym.
It was a considerable size, and few people where in the gym currently.
"They have a race track here, right?" Hikari asked.
Kei nodded. "Yeah. They have one right outside."
Hikari grinned. "Good. I want to challenge you! Are you up for a race, Takishima?"
Kei smirked. "I'm always up for your challenges, Miss Second Place."
"DON'T CALL ME SECOND PLACE!"
(Hikari and Kei went to the race track, and positioned themselves for the race)
"We do one lap around, and the finish line is where we started. Is that fine with you, Takishima?"
"Yeah. Lets start the countdown."
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"GO!"
Kei started with a fast burst of energy.
Hikari sped up ahead of him.
Kei used another burst of energy and flew past Hikari.
Hikari gritted her teeth together in frustration, and used a huge portion of energy to get ahead of Kei.
"I don't think so, Miss Second Place." Kei said teasingly.
He cut through the air with a incredible speed, easily passing Hikari.
He crossed the finish line, with Hikari soon following.
"Looks like I win, Miss Second Place."
Hikari growled. "It will be different next time."
The sun was setting, and Kei looked at his watch.
"It's getting late..." Kei said while looking at the sunset. "We should go eat. Want to go to a restaurant?"
"Sure." Hikari replied cheerfully.
(After Hikari and Kei had arrived at the resteraunt.)
The restaurant was very fancy, and Hikari and Kei got a WHOLE room to themselves sense they where premium guests.
They sat on opposite sides of the table.
Hikari suddenly got an alarming thought in her head. It's just like a date! We are eating together at night, and we are all alone! Hikari blushed.
The waiter arived, and took Hikari and Kei's order. The waiter left, and Hikari and Kei where left alone again.
"Um..." Hikari murmured loud enough for Kei to hear.
"Yes, Hikari?"
"You still like me, right?"
"I'll always like you, Hikari." Kei replied.
"No, not in a friend way..." Hikari had trouble saying her sentence.
"I love you, Hikari."
Hikari was blushing really hard now. "Would you be happy if you knew I loved you?"
Kei's eyes widened. He leaned over from his seat, took Hikari's face in his hands, and kissed her.
When Kei let go and sat back down, Hikari started blushing even harder.
The waiter arrived with the food, and they ate.
During the meal, Kei spoke up. "Hikari, do you love me, in a romantic way? Or in a friend way?"
Kei expected Hikari to happily say, 'I love you as a friend, Takishima!' Or something like that.
"... I- In a romantic way..."
Kei felt his face warm up.
They finished eating, and Kei payed for the meal. They went back to the room.
