&&.It Could be Worse |Ouran\Bleach| &8

It was early the next morning when a hell butterfly gracefully fluttered into Kita's room. It soundlessly landed near Kita's night stand, patiently waiting for said girl to come back from the bathroom.
Minutes later, the mahogany door opened to reveal a damp haired Kita in a pair of green capris sweats and a white tanktop.
The hell butterfly flapped its dark wings and flew over to her.
"Oh, hello there." She greeted the elegant butterfly as it whispered things into her ear. A wide grin spread across her face and she nodded at the butterfly in thanks before it flew away; back to Soul Society.
Kita flipped out her silver phone and punched in the numbers '11'- it was speed dial of course-.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" A deep voice picked up after a few rings.
"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!" She exclaimed at the other person and bowed, even if the person couldn't see her.
"Haha. No problem, just don't burst my ear drums." The same deep voice spoke again while chuckling.
"I owe you SO much for this, Shuuhei-kun. How could I ever repay you?"
"Nah, you don't need to do anything..." There was a pause, "On second thought, how about taking me to the bar as soon as you come to Soul Society again."
Kita giggled lightly at her friend's love of alcohol, "I'll keep that in mind."
"You'd better, little missy." Shuuhei said, the smile evident in his tone.
There were loud knocks coming from the front door, "I've got to go. But I'll call you later Shushu-kun."
"'kay."
Click.
She shut her phone as the knocking became louder along with the sound of her doorbell being pressed multiple times. She sighed and walked towards the noisy door.
"Yeah yeah! I'm coming!! No need to get your underwear in a knot!" She hollered at the door, but the pounding didn't cease. Groaning, she walked faster and stretched her left hand to grab the doorhandle.
"Okay, okay! I get it! I'll open the freakin' door!" She yelled in frustration as she placed her right hand on the lock.
It wasn't even ten seconds after she unlocked the door, that a pair of arms grabbed her waist and pulled her out of her own apartment.
As soon as she heard her apartment door shut and click to lock itself, her survival- or shinigami- instincts kicked in.
"Lemme go!" She thrashed her arms around and tried to get out of the person's grip. For all she knew, this person could be a rapist or even worse; a serial killer! At the thought of that she squirmed around even more. The thought of knocking him out came to mind immediately- and she would have done it if it wasn't for the voice that followed after.
"Hikaru! Hurry up! I've brought Haruhi! She's in the limo!" Came the very VERY familiar voice of Kaoru Hitachiin. Which could only mean...
"Gaaah! Hikaru, let me go!" Kita yelled at her 'kidnapper'. He looked down at her and smirked.
"Sorry, no can do." was his terse reply before he got hit in the back lightly.
"No! You listen. You let go thi- Oof!" Kita was thrown into a sleek, black limo and the door was shut immediately, "Owwie."
Kita crawled up from the hard limo ground to a gray leather seat while rubbing her hip. She noticed Haruhi looking at her in mild amusement.
"Got forced to get out of your apartment too?" Haruhi asked the poor injured girl.
"Yeah. By Hikaru. Are they planning to take us to Okinawa or something?" Haruhi shrugged and said they probably were. Both girls sat quietly until they heard the limo door open again.
"Ah, glad you could make it." Hikaru said in an impish voice.
Haruhi and Kita twitched at his statement before Haruhi retorted, "We didn't come because we wanted too."
"Yeah, you were the ones that kidnapped us from our own apartments." added Kita, who leaned back into the gray leather seat and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Sorry about that. We had to use drastic measures at a time like this." Kaoru apologized.
"No kidding." Kita muttered under her breath. With that the whole car became silent with the exception of the twins talking as the limo began moving to Okinawa.

---

The limo stopped hours later and Kita was jerked awake.
"Okay! We're here! Get up!" Hikaru exclaimed shaking Kita awake. She groaned and swatted his hands away then rubbed her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." The door opened and she slid out while thanking the driver kindly.
"So this is Okinawa...It's been a long time since I've been here." The sun's rays beat down on Kita's peach face as she shaded her eyes.
"You've been here before?" Haruhi piped up from beside her. Kita only nodded, remembering the last time she was here; it wasn't a very good experience.
"HARU~HI!! KITA ~!!" An all TOO familiar voice cried in happiness. Kita turned to the direction of the voice, but was suddenly attacked by a something...I mean, someone.
"TAMAKI! Get off me!" Kita managed to sputter out after being trampled to the ground by her 'father'. Tamaki started rubbing his cheek against hers and hugged the life out of her.
"I'm so happy you came! You too Haruhi!" Tamaki released his hold on the purple-faced Kita and moved to hug Haruhi.
"It's not like I had a choice..." Kita dusted herself off and was suddenly attacked- again- by someone.
"Ki-chan came!" Hunny's sugary voice cheered as he hugged her tightly around the waist. She only smiled sweetly before Haruhi and herself were pushed into a changing room by the twins.
"Here! We brought some bathing suits for you. So just pick one and come out." Kaoru handed us the bag full of colorful binkinis and whatnot. The door closed and both girls stood there, completely blank.
"Well, I guess I could go for something simple...What about you Haruhi?" Kita asked while digging through the bag. She pulled out a white with black edged bikini top and eventually found the bottoms. She held it up and looked at it, "This one's the simplest one that I could dig up and like at the same time. Everything else is all frilly and not my style...Yet this is still so revealing."
"Here." Haruhi dug something out from another bag and threw it towards her. She caught it effortlessly and grinned cheekily. She quickly thanked her friend and moved into one of the stalls.
Seconds later she came out wearing a white button up shirt- which was buttoned up except the first three buttons- and a pair of jean short-shorts, let's not forget the pair of black sandals.
"You look great!" Haruhi complimented as her friend blushed.
"Thanks. What 'bout you? Not going to get changed?" Kita wondered and Haruhi shook her head no.
"When we came here I saw some club customers. So I can't wear anything revealing or they'll find out I'm a fake. Anyway, I don't like wearing those kinds of things." Haruhi explained, adjusting her dark slightly over-sized shirt.
Kita nodded, understanding her explanation. As the two began walking towards the door, Kita couldn't help but feel all anxious and giddy.
Haruhi quickly noticed her strange behaviour, "Something wrong?"
Kita stood there fidgeting with her button-up shirt hem then her quiet reply came, "I'm nervous."
Haruhi looked at her blankly, but there was a hint of a kind smile, "Don't worry. You look great."
"No, no, it's not that. It's just..." Kita paused nervously and looked up at Haruhi, "I'm...scared."
Realization dawned on Haruhi as she remembered what Kita had told her that one night; about her tragic experience.
"I get it that you're afraid of water?"
"No, not water. The deep ocean to be exact. Sure, I'll go into the ocean, but I won't go passed just above my knees."
Haruhi walked up to Kita and rested a small, comforting hand on her shoulder. Smiling, Haruhi looked at her friend and said, "I'll be there. Don't worry."
Kita gave a hesitant nod and Haruhi suggested to leave before Tamaki burst into the changing room thinking something bad had happened.
