A/N: Hi everyone. Sorry for not updating for a veeery long time. Every time I try to update, something bad happens. It's either time for exams and papers, or my dad needs the computer. Then my lab top crashed *cries* I wonder if that myth about lab tops crashing within two years is true. Mine was two years and a month *sobs in a corner*
Anyways, again, I apologize, but I appreciate all of your patience. I really hate it when the stories I read are interesting but aren't updated. I hope this chapter is worthwhile for your long wait though! It's a short update though....
Chapter 16 – An Unfated Meeting?!
"Mizuki, wake up. It's your turn to use the shower," Izumi told her while drying his dripping jet black hair with a white towel. He looked at her sleeping form, and for some reason, thought that she greatly resembled that girl he helped out earlier.
'Those clothes lying on the ground there…it was her wasn't it? That stupid girl' he wanted to smack her, or did he want to smack himself? She's supposed to be low key, and yet, she dressed as a girl outside. It's a good thing it's him she bumped into; if it were someone else…oh, he didn't want to think about what would have happened.
He noticed that she looked up for a second, but her eyes were still closed. She mumbled something incomprehensible and yawned like a little kitten. Izumi secretly found it adorable and fought an urge not to smile. Slowly, she opened her dazzling chocolate brown eyes.
"But I already showered though," Mizuki said to him complained to him sleepily.
"Okay. Let's go downstairs for the dinner then," Izumi instructed, already heading towards the door and looked back at her once more.
'Seriously, the longer I stay, the longer it's dangerous to my heart. I feel like it could burst out any second! Why am I feeling this way? Am I sick?' he thought to himself.
Once outside, Mizuki raised her arms and stretched. As they walked outside to the deck, the two could see Shuuichi on the other side. Mizuki was about to wave and shout to him, but then stopped since Shuuichi seemed to have an annoyed look crossing his face.
"Look lady," Shuuichi said on the other side. "I don't know who you think you are, but shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"Why should I?" a long, golden haired elegant looking girl asked, gritting her teeth. She's definitely mad, Mizuki observed, not that she could see the girl's face. Then realization dawned on her – it's Julia.
'That doesn't look too good' Mizuki thought.
Izumi just looked at the scene and at Mizuki.
'Looks like I'm forgotten' Prince Izumi sulked slightly, not that Mizuki noticed.
"You grabbed me and slapped my face…" Shuuichi tried to explain. He was sure today wasn't his day. Not his day at all.
"Well…how was I supposed to know that you were just teasing each other? I thought this girl was in serious trouble!" Princess Julia threw her arms up in the air, referring to how Shuuichi and one of the workers had looked suspicious a minute before.
Julia heard the girl scream, so thinking the worst, she stepped in without realizing the situation beforehand.
"Exactly, so shouldn't you apologize?" he repeated. 'Man, this girl is dense and lacks manners.'
"No, you should apologize to me," she said stubbornly, a frown evident on her face.
"What?!" Shuuichi said, getting annoyed with this girl's attitude. She's beautiful but man, she has attitude problems.
"You see, you made me misunderstand and hence, wasted my time and energy. But I'm not a horrible person so I'm not even gonna make you apologize. Besides, does a golden hair monkey know how to apologize anyways?"
"First you slap me, and now you call me a monkey?" his anger meter maxed out. 'That's it, no more Mr. Nice Guy.'
"No. I called you a GOLDEN haired monkey. There's a big difference there. Anyways, mind moving? I'm gonna be late for dinner."
Seeing that he's not going to move, Julia shoved him, making him almost off balance.
"Hey lady! Wait! Don't think you can just call me a monkey and leave!" Shuuichi called after her, but she was already out of his sight.
'Just my luck' he thought.
Shuuichi got off the elevator and walked into the dining room.
'Seems like they aren't here yet' he thought.
A wave of nausea hit him. 'Don't tell me the ship's already moving. I thought it's supposed to move after dinner? Oh, I don't feel so good'
He felt like hurling. It's pretty sad isn't it? The heir to Nakatsu Waterlines is prone to seasickness.
He walked over, or tumbled his way over to his assigned table: 53. There seems to be someone he didn't know there already. 'Is it a joint table then?' He took a seat in the corner, not even bother looking up. He shouldn't waste energy.
"Are you alright?" a serene voice asked him gently. 'Weird, I feel like I've heard this voice before.'
"I'm alright," he managed to choke out. "It's just nausea."
"Want some water?" the stranger asked, placing her glass of water near him. "Should I call the doctor?"
"No thanks," he looked up and saw….
"It's you!" they both shouted.
