"Takeo-Kun, how do you feel about the idea of going to the beach?" Kazumi asked, with a smile on her face.
They looked at them with an elated expression, after getting everything prepared for the beach they met everyone at the pier as requested from Takeo. Once they got there, they saw a yacht parked in front of the pier.
"Takeo-Kun, where'd you get this?" Akira asked, with an amazed expression.
"The captain owes me a favor, so I asked if he could take us to the Southern Islands." Takeo answered.
The captain came towards them wearing the usual clothing.
"Takeo-San, we're departing now." The captain declared.
Everyone got their belonging and headed onboard the yacht, once they did Takeo looked around.
"I guess she didn't come." Takeo mumbled to himself.
"Alright, I'm here!" A familiar voice called out.
Takeo turned around and saw Chisame with an angered expression, everyone turned toward her with a surprised expression.
"Chisame-Chan, what're you doing here?" Sakurako asked, with a surprised expression.
"I'm not here on my own will, after that overfriendly idiot tried getting me out of my room." Chisame stated, as she pointed at Takeo. "When I refused, one of those brats stole my laptop."
Everyone turned towards the youngest of them, who were trying to look innocent.
"Well, I'm still glad you came." Takeo stated, with a smirk on his face. "Though, no everyone could come."
Chisame's twitched as she glared at him, she sighed and got onboard with everyone else. Once they were onboard, Chisame approached the three kids with an irritated expression.
"Alright, which one of you brats have my laptop?" Chisame asked.
"Chisame-San, it's in your baggage." Yukiko answered.
Chisame quickly started going through her bag and found her laptop inside of her laptop inside, with a fox drawn on a sticky note attached to it. She looked back at the four kids, with an irritated expression.
"How did they do that?" Asuna asked, as she leaned towards Takeo and the others.
"Did they use magic?" Konoka asked, as Shiro rested on her lap.
"No, actually Yukiko just took it without her noticing and put it back without her noticing." Takeo answered.
Setsuna, Yue, Nodoka, Asuna, Kazumi, and Konoka looked at him with a surprised expression.
"What, don't forget Yuki-Chan is a Kitsune and they can be real tricky when they need to." Takeo answered.
Chisame walked towards them and sat down in front of them, she looked up and started glaring at Takeo with great hate. Takeo looked back at her, wearing a nonchalant expression.
"Alright, what's with the glare Chisame-Chan?" Takeo asked.
"Because this is all your fault!" Chisame answered, gaining a tick mark. "Why did you even want me to come here?"
"Because, I usually see you alone so I thought I'd invite you to come with us." Takeo answered.
Chisame continued glaring at him, but immediately stopped she opened her laptop and started going through it. Takeo sighed, once everyone made it to the island they jumped off and started heading towards the beach.
Once they were out of sight, Takeo was approached by the captain of the yacht.
"Again, I thank you for you past assistance." The captain said, bowing slightly.
"Well, having sirens attempting to destroy your ship would be bad for you." Takeo stated, as he scratched the back of his head. "If you have any other issues just call me."
The captain smiled, and began to board his yacht. Takeo waved him off as the captain sailed off, he turned around and started heading back towards everyone. Once he got there, he laughed at the disappointed expression on Ayaka's face.
He later felt Chizuru, Kazumi and Ako dragging him towards the water. Takeo looked back and saw Haruki, Haruto, Nariko and Yukiko trying to console Negi.
"Hey, Takeo-Kun it was a great idea bringing Nariko and the other along." Ako stated.
"She's right, there really aren't other kids around Negi-Kun's age." Chizuru added, with a smile.
Once they got into the water, everyone started playing and having fun together. After getting out of the water for a while, Takeo looked and saw Chisame under a tree with her computer on her lap.
"Takeo-Kun." Chizuru called out.
He turned around and his face was completely flushed, he saw Chizuru lying on her stomach with her back exposed.
"Can you lotion my back." Chizuru asked, smiling at him.
"U-Uh, yea sure." Takeo answered, with a nervous expression.
Takeo walked towards her, he picked up the lotion and placed some in his hand. Takeo started rubbing his hand together and started to slather it on her back. As he was slathering the lotion on her back she started moaning, causing Takeo to blush even more.
Mostly every girl there was paying very close attention to how he was rubbing her down with the lotion. Once he was done, his face turned completely red.
"Aw~ Thanks, Takeo-Kun." Chizuru said, with a smile.
"N-No, problem." Takeo responded, with a nervous smirk.
Once he turned around he saw that most of the girls wanted Takeo to give them a rubdown to. Takeo picked up the lotion, with a slight sigh and began giving the girls a massage. Chisame looked up and saw everyone else enjoying themselves, she could only sigh at them.
"Idiots." Chisame thought, with an annoyed sigh.
Once Takeo was finished, his face turned completely red as he walked towards Chisame.
"Man, they were sure enthusiastic about getting a rubdown." Takeo said, with a confused expression.
"They're just being idiotic children." Chisame responded, with an annoyed sigh.
Takeo sighed at her comment, and looked towards the sun.
"Why don't you like being around everyone?" Takeo asked.
"Because they're a bunch of immature brats." Chisame answered coldly. "Plus, this world is unpredictable and the virtual world isn't."
Takeo started thinking over what she had said, he stood up and looked toward the sky.
"That doesn't mean you should isolate yourself from everyone, by doing that you're just building an unbreakable wall around yourself." Takeo stated, which surprised Chisame. "Instead of living in the darkness try living in the light. If the world rejects you then overcome it, if there's no light then become the flash of lightning that illuminates the darkness."
Chisame's eyes widened after hearing that quote, before she could ask he looked and saw the ocean split in front of him.
"What was that?!" Chisame asked, without a surprised expression.
Takeo ran over to see what was going on, once he was gone Chisame started searching on her computer until she found a blog site named, 'Zero-Lightning'.
"I thought I heard that before, Zero was one of the top bloggers in the world. No one has heard from him for over two years." Chisame stated, as she started going through his blog.
She looked up and saw Takeo as he went to go check it what happened.
"Could he be…?" Chisame asked herself.
Takeo walked towards Setsuna and Konoka.
"What happened?" Takeo asked.
"I don't know, but it seems that Asuna's Harisen turned into a large sword." Konoka answered.
Takeo looked at the ocean as it was coming back together, after being split apart.
"With just a single swipe, she was able to split the water in two." Takeo stated.
"It certainly was something." Setsuna added with a smile.
"Nii-San!" Nariko called out.
He turned around and saw Nariko wearing a stunned expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Takeo asked, as he kneeled down in front of her.
"Haruto, Haruki and Yuki-Chan, we were attacked by Landsharks on the far side of the beach." Nariko whispered to him.
Takeo's eyes widened, followed by Konoka and Setsuna.
"How many are there?" Takeo asked.
"20." Nariko answered.
Both Setsuna and Takeo started running through the forest towards the far side of the beach. He pulled out his card and placed it to his forehead.
"Yue-Chan." Takeo called out.
[Takeo-San, what's going on?]
"There are 20 Landsharks on the far side of the beach. Can you try and sneak away from everyone else?" Takeo asked.
[Yea, but I think it might take a while.]
"Alright."
Takeo put away his card and placed his ring on his finger, while Setsuna prepared her sword. On the far side of the beach, Haruto was firing off a large barrage of ice shards at a five of the Landsharks.
