Author: I've gotten 3 poll reviews on my profile for which story I'm going to write next... I thought I would get at least ten...
Ikuto: Suck it up. It's probably that nobody reads the author's notes.
Amu: Wow...
Author: Well, thanks to those who did take the poll :D. Lets get this chapter started~~ This chapter took so long to write because I smashed my hand in my locker, and my hand was really sore for two days... I have bad luck XD.
~~~~~Trip To The Hot Springs (Part 2)~~~~~
On the next day, the large group arrived at the hot springs.
The Hot springs was a large, short roofed, traditional styled Japanese house.
Although you couldn't see the hot springs, thick steam rose into the air from behind the house, so Amu guessed that that's where the spring is.
Eyes a bit wider than usual, Amu entered the building along with the rest of the rest of her group.
The building was traditionally designed. Tatami flooring, wall scrolls, a short tea table with 4 lavender pillows on each side of it, and pretty flowers placed in vases on end tables.
The air smelled of warm water, which made Amu take a deep breath.
A large counter was structured at the back of the room, and behind the counter stood a young woman, her raven hair tied up in a bun, an a silky celadon green kimono draped over herself.
She smiled a faint, polite smile as the large group advanced to the counter.
"Hello... Do you have reservations?" She asked in a soft voice.
Grinning, Kukai chided, "Nope! We have a winners number. Our number is 1673847783."
From behind the counter, the woman flipped through a few books, jotted something down with a pen, before looking back up at us with a smile. "Congratulations on winning. I'll now show you to your rooms."
She led them down a few halls, before she stopped abruptly. "Here is the first room, for the gentlemen, and the second room, for the ladies."
Giving them a polite bow, she headed back down the halls.
(Amu's Point Of View)
I headed into my room, and tossed my neon yellow duffel bag off into the corner.
There wasn't much to this room. A single window was on the middle of the back wall, that offered a view out onto a small pond.
5 futons were folded out neatly on the left side of the room, and a small table was positioned in the front of the room. A small white paper was placed on the table top.
Curiously, I strolled to the table, and read the paper.
Activity Sheet.
Women's Bath
Men 's Bath
Unisex Bath
Dining Room
Activity Center (Includes games such as ping pong and cards)
After reading it, I began to leave the room, before a hand grabbed mine from behind.
I turned around, and saw Utau with a devious smirk on her face.
"What is it?" Amu asked quietly.
Still grinning, Utau closed in on me, and whispered something into her my ear.
WHAT?! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M DOING THAT!
"WHAT!? I CAN'T DO THAT!" I screeched.
Utau put her hand over my mouth. "You don't have to actually look at that spot, just make it seem like you did. That will embarrass Ikuto beyond means, and you will finally get your revenge."
I crossed my arms stubbornly. "I'll only do that if you do the same to Kukai."
"Agreed."
(Later)
It was around nighttime now.
I headed down the halls, to the men's bath. I'm going to carry out my revenge on Ikuto, no matter how embarrassing it is.
From down the halls, I could hear the loud racket of boys screaming about something. They're probably in the activity center throwing ping pongs at each other for all I know.
When I came upon the men's bath, a shoji (Japanese door) stood between me and the other side. I carefully creaked open the shoji to see if anyone was in the bath at the moment.
Lucky for me, this whole side of the hot springs was ours, so I didn't have to worry about seeing someone I don't know...
Inside, I strained my eyesight to see since it was nighttime out, but I made out one lone figure in the small spring.
When I looked closer, the moonlight cast a faint milky glow on them, so I could make out their facial features.
It was Ikuto, all right.
He was staring up at the moon absently, totally unaware of my presence, and also unaware of me slowly creeping into the spring.
I was now on the stone surrounding the spring. I got closer, and closer, and closer.
Once I was right behind Ikuto, I grabbed his shoulders from behind.
Spinning around, his eyes slitted like a cats, he swatted at me like the way a cat does with a fly, but with more force behind the blow.
Thanks the lord he was wearing a tiny white towel around his private part.
My eye's twitching, I did my best to do how Utau instructed me to embarrass Ikuto. I pulled him out of the water with a single strong pull of my muscle.
Ikuto, who was unprepared for this sudden movement, literally flew out of the water.
For once in my life, I was under control. And it felt great.
I forced him on the stone carefully, making sure I didn't hurt him, and I then positioned myself on top of him.
His eyes were wide open, and he was to stunned to say anything.
Slowly, I lowered myself to his neck, and I whispered in his ear, "Just remember, Ikuto..." I tried to make my voice sound as seductive as possible. "I'm always going to be the one in control." I purred, and bit his neck softly.
Smirking, I got off of him, and left the hot springs, holding in laughter.
I took one more glance behind me, and saw Ikuto still laying on the ground in the same position, with a weird look on his face.
IKUTO GOT PWNED!
As soon as I got back to my room, I tumbled to the floor and began to laugh hysterically, rolling all across the floor.
Is this how Ikuto feels every time he makes fun of me?
It must be great to be him...
The shoji of the room slid open, and behind it revealed Utau.
When she noticed me on a weird position on the floor and my face red, she said, "Did the plan work?"
I quickly told Utau of what happened, and we both began to laugh, or laugh booming across the room.
(Normal POV)
Little did Amu know, Ikuto was already plotting out his revenge...
And little did Kukai know, a similar trick would also be played on him than none other than Utau.
Author: Heh heh. You've got bad luck coming your way, Amu.
Amu: Oh great. Just when I finally get good luck in this story.
