Chapter 11

Yakumo was outside, listening in on Sakaki and Kagura, who were in their beds. She peeked into the window, as both athletic girls were in a meeting.

"So, for the talent show, I figured you and I can show off our athletic styles. That, or maybe, we should display our bodies." Kagura smiled.

Sakaki blushed, "Uh… No… I mean…"

"You have no talent, huh?"

"No… It's, well… I never intended to show-off, unless it is a completely huge event."

"OH! What about the cats coming to you?"

"Uh… No. But, it seems wrong…"

"Come on. At least we can find you your talent."

Yakumo listened on, but is embarrassed by both girls' girth. She held her chest and was flushed in embarrassment.

"They're… They're so… I cannot compete with them…" she thought.

Hanai asked her, "What's wrong, Yakumo? Why are you in the Red Team's camp?"

"Uh, well, you see…"

Sakaki pleaded, "No. Stop it! I said no on that part…"

Kagura insisted, "I insist! We have to show this maneuver at the talent show, tonight, following the surfing show!"

Sakaki said, "I… Oh… I can't… I'm too nervous by it…"

Yakumo ran off, as Hanai blushed in shock. "What are they up to?"

He gasped and chased after Yakumo, who read his mind, learning that it felt perverted. He screamed to her, "WAIT! Yakumo! Just tell me!"

Inside the cabin, Sakaki and Kagura agreed on an act, but Sakaki declined the offer of Kagura's act: an acrobatic act.

Kagura explained, "Give me ONE good reason why we cannot do an acrobatic act…"

Sakaki said, "I… I don't think I can, since the others are watching. Suppose we end up ripping our clothes, during the performance?"

Kagura gasped, "AAH! You're right!"

She pouted, "Now what? It won't be fun, if it's embarrassing…"

She then had an idea, "WAIT! How about we have ALL the girls on our team do a performance!"

Sakaki turned away and said, "Do what you want… I'm out."

Kagura held her and said, "Come on… What difference does it make, when it comes to being an idiot on stage? That's Tomo's job. Don't worry about a thing."

Meanwhile, by the lake, Tomo suddenly said, "I don't know why, but remind me to throttle Kagura, later."

She then held up an envelope and said, "But first, I should go to the other cabin, so we could meet, in-person. The time has come… for me to meet my destiny… of love… Too bad Yomi will get it, after me."

Yomi then thought, as she was in the cafeteria, "I'm not sure… but remind me to kill Tomo, once the surfing event is over."

Yomi was busy with mapping out a strategy for the all-team run. She drew a map of the entire campground, in memory, and found a possible shortcut to the end.

"Hmm… Suppose that we end up cheating? That would be a problem. Sadly, I don't see anyone try their hands on cheating, all because of vengeance."

She then thought about Chiyo-Chan. "Poor Chiyo. She must be a bit upset, after Tomo told me about her. I still say that it's ridiculous, but she has nothing on those Tsukamoto Sisters."

Outside, Chiyo was with Osaka, and suddenly felt annoyed, "I don't know how, Miss Osaka, but remind me again why we must do the underwater segment for the surfing contest? Don't you know that I cannot swim?"

Osaka exclaimed, "It's simple. I'm the one member of the group that swims… pretty good. Yomi, Sakaki, and Kagura will be in the event… and they WON'T suspect us, sabotaging Tenma's run."

"Yes, but… What if they find out about us? Tomo and Miss Yomi are growing suspicious…"

"Never you mind. We'll just say that we were a no-show."

Chiyo slapped Osaka, "Miss Osaka~! That will cause even more suspicion! We'll just tell the others that we'll stay in the cabin, while they compete in the surfing contest."

Chiyo left, as Osaka was smiling, "Why didn't I think of that? It's so brilliant!"

Chiyo smirked evilly, "Still… It'll be better than having those boys fawn over her. By them, I mean Harima and Hanai…"

SO getting the wrong idea…

XXXXX

At the lake, that mid-afternoon, Tomo waited for Harima to come. She delivered the note, earlier, which said:
Kenji,
It is too soon, but it's time we meet. Meet me by the lake, so we can finish this…
T.

Tomo giggled, "This is too awesome. Those Blue Team losers won't know what hit them… I'll have him lovey-dovey for me… I'll… Oh, no. I don't want Kenji to be so prone to accidents. First, we leer him, then I'll veer to him. Okay, it needs work… We can dine, at the cafeteria, and then… he's mine… for wedding bells…"

Harima was walking by, as he was in awe and happiness. He got the note from Tomo, but doesn't know that it was from her. He thought it was from Tenma.

"Tenma," he smiled, "I knew one day this would happen… A huge camp moment, like in movies. If that fails, I can always draw it in… my… AW, CRAP! I FORGOT ABOUT MY MANUSCRIPT!"

He sighed, "Oh, well. I'll do it, tonight, after the talent show. It's not due, until next week."

He then imagined about how he and Tenma were at the lake. In his vision, Tenma kisses Harima, and then they made out. Harima blushed, "Flirt. Tenma can try to flirt with me, but I won't resist. I dreamed of the day, and today… the lake is close quarters."

He arrived, as he saw a silhouette of Tomo, thinking it was Tenma. He blushed, "Uh… It is her… unless it's Rich Girl punking me. But…"

He viewed Tomo's hair, "Did Tenma butchered her hair?"

Tomo turned around and blushed, "Kenji… I love you…"

Kenji gasped, "WHAT THE HELL? YOU! The Wildcat Idiot?"

Tomo shouted, "Don't call me an idiot! I have my heart onto you, my rugged hunk of a man! I knew one day that I'd find my true love."

Harima explained, "Uh… Listen, Tomo, right? Listen, you got it all wrong. I… What I was trying to say is-."

Tomo blushed in pink and held Harima tight, not letting go. She clamped onto his waist and began kissing him.

"Oh, darling, Kenji Harima… I dreamed of this moment. You liked my cooking, you liked my skills… I'm not like those other girls!"

"Speak for yourself! I only love-!"

"Come now, Harima… Do you love me?"

She kissed him again, on the cheek.

"YAAAAAAAAHH!" He screamed.

Meanwhile, Eri was looking for Harima, as she went to the lake. She was completely stern and angry. She found Tomo's love letter.

"I swear… Tenma is dead!" She huffed.

She doesn't know that Tomo wrote the letter, either. She went through the forest, as she was closer to the lake. However, she was not alone. Yomi, Kaorin, and Sakaki were in a meeting.

"Guys, I know this isn't about the competition, but there's something wrong with our team. We have the lead, but somehow it's falling apart."

Kaorin replied, "I know. Sakaki told me that she wants out of a competition, namely the Talent Show, since she feels embarrassed by it. If Sakaki doesn't do it, I won't, either!"

Sakaki gasped, "I… I, uh, never said-."

Yomi barked, "NO! I mean about Chiyo-Chan! She's acting funny! Do you think it has something to do with one of the Blue Team members?"

Kaorin thought, and then replied, "No. But it has to be that girl with big breasts."

Sakaki covered her chest in embarrassment, as Kaorin continued, "Or, it could be the weird girl with the serious face… or course, it's that Tsukamoto chick. She's too hot."

Yomi asked, "Which one?"

"The one with the short hair. Some of the boys liked her… and I think Kimura liked her, too."

"That's not proven!"

"Yeah, but the one with the tiny pigtails is uber-cute. She's as cuter as… Oh… You don't think she's-."

"HAH! As if! That Tenma girl is nowhere near cuteness! Plus, it's age more than beauty!"

Sakaki blushed in shock, as Yomi continued, "In any case, remind me to find Tomo and the others. She had to step out for some air… while Chihiro is busy helping the blonde's butler and maid, doing the cooking for tonight."

Kaorin said, "Well, we have time, before the surfing beings. Perhaps we should ask the other team."

Sakaki thought to herself, as Yomi and Kaorin continued to talk, "Age… What if I were… ten-years old?"

She imagined herself, as 10 years old (the same age that Chiyo came to High School) again. She saw herself, as a small long-haired girl, with a short round bust and tall figure. She had the long black hair and had a short body. She had a growth spurt, she thought to herself, imaging that it must be a lucky break. Sakaki blushed and laughed quietly, as Kaorin said, "We should find Chiyo. But, we should help. Maybe Tomo can do something about it…"

Yomi smiled, "Well… Just this once… I should be able to make Tomo pick on her. Maybe we can weasel her out…"

Kaorin asked, "Won't that be rude of us? She's just a child."

Yomi said, "True… but…"

Eri eavesdropped and thought, "What? Who are they picking on? Where's Tenma?"

She gasped, "AH! NO! They'll pick on Tenma! Oh, god!"

She panicked, "Ah, snap! Ah, snapper! Ah, snappest! What to do? What to do?"

The girls heard of Eri's screaming and spotted her. Yomi cried, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Eri cried, "DON'T PICK ON ME!"

Kaorin asked, "What are you talking about?"

Yomi declared, "You, blondie…"

"Eri!"

"Right. Eri, why the hell are you here?"

"The lake."

She gave the girls a note. It was the letter that Tomo wrote to Harima. Eri proclaimed that the T in the end was from Tenma. However, Yomi gasped in fear.

"This… This is… Tomo's handwriting!"

Eri gasped, "WHAT? That Wildcat Idiot?"

Kaorin asked, "You know her?"

Eri said, "Hardly. I thought-."

WAH!

Eri gasped, "WHISKERS!"

She ran off, as she headed to the lake. Yomi was in an evil smirk. She said, "Oh, I've got to see."

They followed Eri to the lake, to see Tomo and Harima.

When they arrived, they saw Harima, being hugged by the Wildcat.

"Oh, come now, my loverboy," she whispered, "You know you want me, so badly…"

Harima pleaded, "NO! NO! GET OFF OF ME! She's crazy!"

Tomo was about to kiss him, until…

"DOUBLE CHOP!" Yomi dived in and chopped her on the head.

She yelled, "Tomo! I thought I have seen everything, but you're being ridiculous!"

Kaorin shouted, "Yeah! You've become love-obsessed!"

Tomo sobbed, "It's because of my-."

Eri cried, "You, you dunce of a girl! Lay off Whiskers, before you give him even more stupidity."

Tomo glared, "They… Huh? Are you calling me dumb? You're a dumb blonde."

She jeered at her, "Dumb blonde~! Dumb blonde~! You can't have him!"

"Huh?" Harima gasped.

Eri blushed, "As if!"

She yelled, "And if you're calling a dumb blonde, referring to your four-eyed best friend!"

Sakaki whispered, "Was Tomo referring to you, Yomi?"

Yomi answered, "She definitely referred to Sawachika. My hair is golden brown."

Eri glared at Tomo, "He's mine!"

Tomo barked, "What makes you think that he's yours? You don't even like him!"

Eri bickered, "Yeah, well… I'll bet you make good on your lies! Whiskers is a fool, but you're the fool, with small boobs!"

Tomo gasped, and was angry. She was about to attack her, but Yomi stopped her.

"Save your embarrassment for later. We let the competition do it to us." Yomi sighed.

Tomo barked, as she pointed at Eri, "Okay, Blondie! Winner gets Harima, and we do it, in the Surfing Contest! Bring your best sexiest bikini… and some tissues and ice cream, because Whiskers is gonna be mine!"

Eri shouted, "FINE! And you better be crying for your mommy, when you wipeout, you small-sized wimp!"

Tomo yelled, "FINE!"

Eri screamed, "FINE!"

Eri stormed off, as Tomo blushed to Harima. She bowed, "Forgive me… I do love you, so much."

Yomi grabbed her ear and snuffed, dragging her away, "Save it for the event… and please don't make out with the opposing team."

The team left, as Harima was in shock, without moving. He screamed, at the top of his lungs:
"WHY AM I CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS?"

So, how will the battle go? Who will win the surfing contest between Eri and Tomo?

Elsewhere, Kimura viewed the ocean and started to whisper in an astonishing voice.

"Ah… Beach Bikinis…"

The waves in the oceans were about to start. The Surfing Contest was next.
