Chapter 6 Disclaimer: I do not own Special A or the characters in Special A. This is the longest chapter yet guys, thank you so much for reading! If you have any suggestions or would like to put in a request, please review, which would be very helpful. Have a great day/night guys! Vacation to the Keys Part 3 That night for dinner, all of S.A. went out for dinner at a fancy seafood restaurant. Tadashi ended up eating all the food, so the group decided to go back to the house to eat. Hikari offered to cook, but when she saw everybody's horrified faces, she slowly backed away. Akira made a delicious steak dinner, and afterwards everybody agreed on playing a nice game of Truth or Dare. The rules were as follows: When challenged, one would either accept the truth or dare or they would have to eat one of Hikari's famous rice balls (Hikari: "Hey what's wrong with my rice balls, I think they taste great! Takishima agrees with me!") Intimate dares were not allowed (unless the person being dared agreed to it) The game was only for fun, so if someone started being mean or negative, they would be kicked out Megumi volunteered to go first, and she challenged Jun. Jun chose truth, and Megumi wrote "Jun, do you love Sakura?" Jun blushed intensely and looked away, but all of the players could her the muttered "Yes" he gave. There was a collective "AWWWW" around the group. Next Jun challenged Tadashi, who chose dare. Jun told him to give Akira a peck on the cheek, if he agreed to it, which Tadashi did. He scooted closer to Akira and gave her the gentlest kiss he could manage. Luckily for Akira, it was dark now, so nobody saw that Akira gave Tadashi a kiss back! Tadashi then challenged Kei. "Truth or dare, Kei?" "I choose… Truth." Replied Kei. "Hmmm…" Tadashi pondered. "Ok Kei, I've got your truth. You must say out loud what your true feelings are for Hikari!" At hearing this, Hikari was surprised. Why would Kei have feelings for me? What did I do to spark his possible feelings for me? But he never showed feelings towards me before- oh wait… Kei kept an unresponsive face as he said, "I consider Hikari as a very- special –friend, and I am sure she would say the same about me. Right, Hikari?" Hikari nodded, but somehow she felt a twinge of disappointment in hearing those words. What am I doing, falling for Takishima? Like that'll happen… heh… It seemed as if the group was getting tired, so they decided to head in for the night. It was a beautiful day, but unfortunately, there was a large thunderstorm rolling in. Hikari was rather frightened by the sound of thunder, but she was hoping that she could make it through the storm just this one night. After everybody had said their goodnights and settled in bed (Kei on the twin bed after Hikari insisted on taking the air mattress), the storm took a turn for the worst. Every few seconds there was a huge strike of lightning and an earsplitting clap of thunder, and Hikari was shaking very badly. She started to feel tears coming, so she sprang up into Takishima's bed for comfort, accidentally landing right on top of him. Kei saw that she had been crying very hard, and drew her close in an embrace to comfort her. They stayed like this even after they fell asleep, until morning, Hikari's head balanced gently on Takishima's strong chest. The two were in a soft yet tight embrace that seemed as if it would never break. Kei woke up first, and looked at Hikari. Boy, is she beautiful. I wish we could just stay like this together, arms in arms, legs intertwined, the warmth of our bodies heating each other up. I think I'm in love with this woman. No wait, I know I'm in love.
