Chapter Twelve – First Day on Camp

The two piece bothered her a little. Her mother however had insisted and went so far as to hide all of Miyako’s one piece suits. She eyed the bikini she’d found in her bag and grumbled. It was cute, for sure – it was light blue with pink lining the halter neck and under the bust and around the belt of the bottoms that had an attached skirt with rippled fabric. But her main problem was the skimpy nature of the top.

She dug into her bag desperately, certain that there was something else in there that she could use.

“Your Mum did that too, huh?” Sakuno asked.

Miyako looked over. “But…you’re in a one piece?”

Sakuno looked down at the dark blue one piece and smiled. “I snuck the school swimsuit into my bag this morning when she wasn’t looking. She didn’t know I owned this.”

Miyako laughed. “Lucky. My Mum’s a bit more cunning then that.” She explained and then finally found it. “Aha~! Perfect!” She rejoiced, holding up the white tank top. “Victory~!” She exclaimed, mimicking Taka-san perfectly.

Sakuno giggled. “I’ll meet you on the beach then.” She said and left, closing the door behind her.

Changing quickly, Miyako slipped her feet into a pair of pink flip-flops and then made her way to the beach, her hair still hanging back in a long plait.

To her surprise Momo and Eiji were already in the water – and a surge of nerves hit her when she realised that she would be seeing all of them shirtless before sundown. She pushed back the thought – they thought nothing of it so she would have to just do the same. Sakuno had already stopped short of the water herself, standing at the point where the waves lapped at her feet.

“Sakuno-chan?” Miyako asked, walking up beside her. “Are you going in or what?” she asked.

Sakuno was flushing as a black and skin toned blur flew by them and Echizen joined his Senpai’s in the surf.

“Oh.” Miyako giggled. “Don’t worry about it.” She said, slipping her flip-flops off and throwing them up on the sand where the water wouldn’t reach and made her way into the water. She squealed a little and recoiled as the contrast of the cold water met her sun warmed skin. “Come on in Sakuno-chan~!” She called. “It’s really nice!” Then she spotted another familiar person jogging down to the surf, his brown hair falling onto his forehead as always. “Ahh~ Fuji-senpai~!” Miyako waved.

“Hi girls.” Fuji greeted, coming to a stop beside Sakuno. “Are you going in, Sakuno-chan?”

Sakuno flushed and looked away. “Uun.”

Fuji smiled. “Whenever you’re ready.” He said and then walked into the waves. “Miyako-chan, Tezuka won’t be long~.”

Miyako blushed. “What makes you think I’m waiting for him?”

“Then perhaps you’ll come and swim with me then?” Fuji asked, and before she could refuse he lifted her from her feet and over his shoulder.

With a squeal she pathetically fought against him, slamming her fists into his back as he carried her further into the water. “Fuji~!” She screamed, unable to fight back the laughter that bubbled up her throat. “Let me go, Fuji-senpai~!”

Fuji paused in his steps and shifted her until he was holding her under the knees and behind the back. “Are you sure?”

“Of course I am.” She replied, crossing her arms.

Fuji shrugged. “Momo-chan~! Catch~!”

Before Miyako could latch onto Fuji to prevent the inevitable, Fuji flung her over the water’s surface and into Momo’s arms. She grumbled angrily. “Just you wait until Tezuka finds out about this.” She hissed.
