Orimura's Cousin [A Infinite Stratos Fanfiction]

Chapter 1

Hi hi! Sooo, we got a break from wretched school!!! YAAASSS!!! Anyways, I'll be updating as much as possible during this break, including my other fanfictions so enjoy! Oh, P.S. this is during their beach trip, ja ne!

Shurai's P.O.V.~

Currently, I'm at the beach. Supposedly the IS Academy students are supposed to be here as well. 

"Well, that means I get to see my cousins I suppose." I proclaim my thoughts out loud and stare out at the blue ocean.

"Who knows, maybe something interesting will happen?" I exclaimed and walk back to the beach house.

Ichika's P.O.V.~

Ah, the beach is nice! Today, we get the whole day off! I then saw Charl coming my way.

"Ichika!" She shouted and I smiled.

"Charl! That swimsuit looks nice on you!" I exclaimed and she smiles back.

"Thanks! Wanna do some stretching together?" She asks and I nod.

"Sure, I don't see why not." I say and we both stretch. Charl transferred to this school as a male but she was actually a female. I found out...the hard way...Anyways, her father ordered her to dress as a boy but she decided to reveal her true nature and no one's calling her out for it. Although, she was my roommate and we had to change rooms, that was also how I found out the hard way...

"Oh yeah, wasn't Laura with you?" I ask and she looks at me.

"Laura's hiding over there." Charl says, pointing to a wall. "She says her swimsuit is embarrassing, even though a told her like a zillion times it was ok."

"Ne! Are you ok with just staying there and letting me and Ichika play alone?" She shouts and I tilted my head in confusion. What? I don't get it.

"Um, laugh if you must..." Laura says, coming out from behind the wall hesitantly.

"You're fine Laura! There's nothing weird about it, right Ichika?" Charl laughs and I nod.

"It's just a bit shocking. I think it's cute." I smile.

"C-cute?!" Laura repeats and I look at her with a confused expression. She seemed to crouch down with her back turned. Laura seemed to have changed since the match where me and Charl defeated her. It would also seem that she let go of her grudges as well.

"Ichika!!!" A voice shouted from behind and something fell on me.

"I gotcha!!" The same voice says, on my shoulder as I struggle to hold them up.

"Whoa!" I yell, staggering from the unexpected weight.

"Rin, what the hell??" I shouted and she laughs in response. "I get you're agile and all, but don't go jumping around like that, it's dangerous!"

"Ichika, let's have a match in the water!" She says, ignoring me.

"Listen to me!!" I yell exasperated. What's with these people? I know some of them but they act so weird! Hitting me for no apparent reason, blaming me for things I didn't even do, can I just get a break?!

"R-Rin-san! What are you doing?! Get down here at once!!!" Another voice cries out and I inwardly cringed. There, in all her glory, was Cecilia.

"Hahahaha!" Was all Rin said.

"Will you stop acting like a child??" She asks and I sigh. Like that's ever gonna happen.

"Seriously, you lack any fiber of finesse!!" Cecilia says and the two seemed to be staring at each other intensely.
