"No matter where you go,"
"There you are, Yukino!" Ruri waved. "We were beginning to worry that you fell back asleep."
Akihiko and Shoichi followed Yukino over to her group of friends. "Lady Yukino offers her apologies for keeping you waiting."
Yukino was trying her hardest to keep her eyes open. "What he said..."
"I see you're still not great with mornings." Momoka giggled.
"What makes you say that? I'm..." She yawned. "Completely awake."
Three days into summer vacation, Yukino found herself in Korea. Every year since they started middle school, she and her friends would go on a trip together after they finished exams. Momoka, Kimiko, and Ruri had been talking about Korea since they first started studying for finals. And Yukino was very relieved to finally have an entire week away from a certain group of idiots.
She made it very clear that they weren't allowed to bother her. They couldn't contact her unless it was a real emergency. And she spent two hours going over the criteria for a real emergency with Tamaki and the twins. She had to make sure they fully understood what did and did not qualify as a worthy reason for contacting her.
Kimiko beamed. "So? We're going to check out the temples today, right?"
"Mm-hm." Yukino nodded. "Right after breakfast -- "
A repeated buzzing cut her off. Blinking, she took her cell phone out of her purse. And when she opened it, she found a multitude of messages on her screen.
From who, you ask? Well, who do you think?
From: Tamaki
SOS!!!! EMERGENCY!!! CODE RED!!!（ 'Д｀）
COME HOME IMMEDIATELY!!! (T_T)
WE MUST ACT RIGHT NOW!!! (>_<)
Yukino frowned at her phone -- and not just because of Tamaki's insistent, time-wasting use of emoticons. She was still frowning as she sent back a response.
To: Tamaki
What is the emergency?
She waited, but she didn't get a response right back. That wasn't like Tamaki; he generally replied within ten seconds or so. Normally, she was the one not to respond. Not the other way around.
Tamaki?
Still no response. She frowned even more.
Momoka noticed. "What is it, Yukino? Is something the matter?"
"..."
She didn't want to admit it, but war was raging in her mind. 'Knowing Tamaki, it's most likely nothing. He's probably just overreacting.' She shut her eyes warily. 'But...'
