"What in the bloody hell is this!?" Yuki demanded, irritated, in her British accent.
They were indoors. It was extremely warm and humid in there. No one else was around. It was an indoor pool with many pool lounge chairs and tables. And right in the middle of the pool was a giant freaking castle. It had water fountains and water slides and was the world's biggest freaking castle every seen. The roof was glass windows, so sunlight filled the area.
"Damn rich bastards..." Yuki and Haruhi growled.
"You're rich too." Haruhi pointed out. Yuki scowled.
"My dad's rich. The only thing I'm accepting from him is my current position where I work, and tuition money for school. But I refuse to include myself in the rich society." Yuki explained.
"Now you two need to change into bikinis! We picked some out for you already!" Hikaru and Kaoru held up a frilly yellow bikini and a frilly red bikini.
"Those are so skimpy!" Yuki and Haruhi cried.
"So?" The twins pushed the two girls into the changing room and pounced on them. "Change into these!"
"Why do you keep trying to dress us!?" Yuki snapped.
"We're very capable of dressing ourselves!" Haruhi added angrily. The girls combined forces and kicked the twins out of the dressing room. The twins discarded their hoodies and pants, for they were wearing their swimsuits underneath.
"Found them! What have you two evil twins done with my Haruhi dearest!?" Tamaki tackled the twins. Unfortunately, the twins stepped out of the way and he slammed into the wall of the changing room.
"I told you they would be using the new castle water park, dumb ass." Kyoya muttered.
"Yuki and Haruhi are in there." The twins motioned to the changing room. "Getting naked. Together. In all of the steam. Putting their bikinis on. Together." Tamaki got a nosebleed and passed out. The twins checked Kyoya. It was a test. How would he react to such a lie about his ex? Unfortunately for Hikaru and Kaoru, Kyoya was a master at masking his emotions.
Wait...what's that faint redness across his cheeks?
"This place is so cool! The best water park I've ever been too! And I've been to one in every country. Well not every country. But every country that has one." Karen appeared, hugging Kyoya's arm. The twins groaned. Who invited both of them? Hikaru and Kaoru understood Tamaki asking for Kyoya's help to find Haruhi...but did he really have to bring Karen? No. Karen is the type of person who invites herself...
Yuki and Haruhi emerged from the changing room, glaring, in their bikinis. Yuki spotted high tech water guns on a wall.
"What happened to your knee, Yuki-chan?" Hunny asked. Yuki's right knee was off center.
"I was mastering the Death Drop." Yuki replied.
"Death Drop?" Haruhi questioned.
"It's where I fall back in a certain position where my knee is bent. It's very hard and I hurt my knee doing it." Yuki explained. There were also small scars all over her body. They were thin and pink and white and small.
"Have you lost weight?" Kyoya suddenly asked Yuki.
"No." Yuki replied.
"You're lying. You look skinnier since the party." Kyoya said.
"What's it to you anyway?" Yuki snapped irritably.
"Just friendly concern."
"Bullshit. You don't feel concern for anyone. And even if was genuine, I don't need any of your 'friendly concern.' I'm going to nationals. I've burned off a lot of calories from my workouts." Yuki lied. Kyoya did not respond. He looked so hot. His hair looked so luscious and soft. They way it fell was just so...and those eyes! Yuki can just swim in those onyx eyes. They were gorgeous. Yuki loved his eyes. And his lips! Yuki could kiss those lips and hug that strong body of his...
"No!" Yuki snapped to herself aloud.
"Hm?" Kyoya looked amused. It took everything Yuki had to cool her face down.
"No, I will not be seen in this. I changed my mind. I just...forgot my hoodie!" Yuki grabbed the tossed aside hoodie and threw it on.
"Um, Yuki..." Hikaru began.
"What?"
"That's my hoodie..." Now, Yuki was embarrassed.
"Sorry!" Yuki took off the hoodie and went inside the changing room. She closed the door. There was no lock. Yuki assumed that it wasn't an accident. It was wayyyy too hot to put her clothes back on. Yuki shook her head. Yuki had to stop thinking about Kyoya that way. Get over him and his hotness. Get over him right now! There's damn Karen all over him with that damn ring on her damn finger. Karen just ruins the picture! Dammit!
Yuki wanted to scream and cry. Her heart ached. It hurt so much...but Yuki has to get over Kyoya. She has to! He's moved on! And for the sake of his happiness and her friends, she has to make this work! That's why she's still here.
The door was suddenly kicked open. The Hitachiin twins were there, and they sprayed water on Yuki.
"Hey! You're gonna pay!" Yuki cried. The twins sprinted out of there with Yuki chasing closely behind. Yuki snatched a water gun off the wall and chased the twins. "Get back here, carrot tops!"
The twins spun around and ran backwards. They squirted water at Yuki. Yuki jumped high and did more than a split in the air, being the dancer she is. It was instinct. The water went under Yuki and hit Tamaki right in the face.
"You rotten boys!" Tamaki yelled, grabbing a water gun and joining the battle. He happened to be in his swimsuit. But as he raced after them, he slipped on a banana peel that happened to be there and crashed right into the side of the building. The twins sprayed him in the face and he recovered instantly and chased down the twins.
"I wanna join! C'mon, Takashi!" Hunny and Mori suddenly appear in their swimsuits. They also grabbed water guns. The six of them rushed into the castle.
"Me too!" Karen was in a swimsuit too, and followed them inside with her water gun.
"It seems the games have begun." Kyoya announced as he put on aviator sunglasses.
"Oh god. You don't mean the Hunger Games, do you?" Hazuki asked him from her lounge chair beside him.
"That's a book."
"Yeah, but you're the type of person who would trick those guys into fighting to the death and that's the Hunger Games arena in disguise of a castle." Hazuki explained.
"Now how would I benefit from that?" Yuki would kill Karen and then you can love my sister again, Hazuki thought.
"No more annoyances." Hazuki replied instead.
"Do you really think I'm that evil?"
"Yes." Hazuki replied bluntly.
"Kyoya, explain this 'game.'" Haruhi said.
"Basically, there's hidden cameras everywhere. You can see what they're doing in there with that projection." He pointed to the ceiling, where a projection appeared showing the intense battle. "Like in a video game, you're given so many 'lives' before you die. Everyone has ten lives. You lose a life if someone sprays you. On another projection, when someone gets squirted, it shows who was hit, and who hit them. Every person you hit, you get 5 points. It shows the scoreboard of who's in the lead. Usually the last one standing is the winner, but if you have more points than the last one standing, then you win. Follow?" He explained, pushing his glasses up.
Hazuki spotted the second projection. Tamaki and Hunny are almost out. They both have two lives left. Karen mostly got them, but Yuki got them two times. But the twins sprayed them both twice. Yuki hasn't lost a single life. The twins both lost one by Karen. Karen lost two by Hikaru and Kaoru. Mori had lost six already Karen. He took those blasts to protect Hunny.
Inside the castle was dim and dark. Everyone could see fine, though. The floor was flooded with maybe an inch of water. There were a lot of decorations that were water fountains. There were dozens of water balloons hidden around. And a lot of exits were water slides, but there were also tons of smaller ones right next to staircases.
Yuki, as silently as she could, rushed down a corridor. She was alone. Yuki decided to take this opportunity to refill her water gun from one of the water fountains. Out of the corner of her eye, she spots movement. And then, there's a blast of water.
Yuki dodged gracefully with a side aerial, but slips and falls, unintentionally dodging the second blast.
"Wow! You're really good!" Karen complimented. Yuki got to her feet and prepared to spray her. But Yuki heard from behind her the sound of a pair of footsteps entering the corridor. The twins together aimed at Yuki. Yuki this time dropped to the ground. Karen took the hit, losing two of her lives. How unfortunate.
Yuki spotted a door. She had to take a chance on it. Yuki got to her feet, ducked from a blast and opened the door. She ran through it, closing it behind her. It was a slide. Yuki slid down and landed promptly on her feet. She sprinted down the corridor and rounded the corner into an open room.
Tamaki and Hunny were engaging in a fight, but they seemed too cautious to spray each other. Yuki squirted at the nearest, Hunny. But out of no where came Mori, who took the hit. Tamaki spots Yuki and tries to spray her. Yuki jumps high, doing more than a split in the air. But another squirt from Hunny came right at her. Fortunately, there was gravity, and Yuki managed to fall before it could hit her.
It was three on one again. In an interesting turn of events, Hunny and Mori together sprayed at Yuki. While Yuki dodged, Tamaki squirted water at Hunny and Mori, hitting them both. Hunny and Mori spun around to counter. Tamaki tried to spray them again, but he was out of water.
"Dammit!" He cried as he continued trying to blast water. Yuki took the opportunity to spray all three of them.
"Hunny, Mori, and Tamaki. All three of you are out." Kyoya's voice said on an intercom.
"Is this some kind of game, four eyes!?" Yuki snapped.
"Yes." Yuki scowled. Tamaki and Hunny exited hanging their heads while Mori followed emotionless. Yuki rushed to refill her water gun.
