Yurikami let the room leaving me in it alone. I sighed. I read a couple of books, manga, watched a couple of anime, and played DDR. And yet I was still bored. The ocean was not the best place for me to go into and my faire skin would get burned in the blazing sun.
I got off of the bed that was right next to the window and changed clothes. Instead of a swimsuite it was a gray pullover and khakis. My intrest in guys clothes did not change and I grabbed the room key and left.
When I was walking I saw a couple of hula dancers and entertainers along with the other biju members
I had to find something to do quickly or I was going to be bored for the whole trip. I lurked even more and went into the arcade room. There I got the best score in guitar hero 3, played air hockey with a couple of other guys, and got about 6 plushies from a UFO catcher. I felt kind of sad that I was being antisocial but I wasn't that close to anybody that much except for Raijuu, Chiyoko, and Yurikami. With a sigh I heaved myself to a speakeasie so that Kyuubi wouldn't know I was drinking. Plus I was kind of bootlegging for bringing beers but I wasn't planning on getting drunk. After the couple of alchohal I drank I headed back to the room, cleaned the evidence I was drinking with flouride and went into the shower.

I laid back in the chairs enjoying the sun. It didn't matter what size I was the sun was still nice. Kai ran straight fro the pool and water exploded out of it as he hit the surface. I sighed and backed my chair up away from the water. Maki went to the pool's edge and dipped her feet it. Suddenly I saw Kyuubi talking to some biju further down the boat. Kyuubi turned and started heading off towards my direction.
"Long time no sssee," I started. Kyuubi did a double glance at me and I answered it easy enough. "Ya I'm going to kill Shukaku too."
"He really knows how to ruin things," Kyuubi said somewhat tiredly. I nodded but closed my eyes.
"Well he'sss not going to ruin my vacation or there will be one dead biju after thiss vacation iss over," I answered.
"So Hachi I guess things have settled down at home?" Kyuubi asked.
"Ya about as much as they can. Anywayssss I've been think about getting married on Hawaii and maybe you can be my besst man....er....rather besst biju. You are the king after all," I laughed to myself.
Kyuubi gave me a sidways glance and I merely laughed it off. I had relaxed a lot more than intended, but maybe it was for the best.
"Look you don't have to anssswer anytime ssoon, and it wasss jusst a question," I smirked.
Suddenly Yuri ran up. I laughed to myself about not having seen the biju that has somewhat become my sister in a while.
"What'sss new Yuri?" I asked.
Yuri looked as if she had wanted to talk to Kyuubi but then turned to me.
"Oh hey Hachi," Yuri smiled, "Long time no see."
"Yep that'ss pretty much what I have been sssaying to everyone lately....I guessed sssince I wasss getting married I thought that I could hide out with my own life...heh......how ssstupid of me," I answered.
"So you did purpose!" Yuri smiled, "And Maki said yep! ^^."
"Well if you already knew then you ssshould have ssstopped me before I went into the long explination," I laughed back.
"Hey Yuri!" Kai yelled. He got out of the water and glomped Yuri nearly to the ground. "What's up!" he laughed.
We were going to Hawaii??!?!? I couldn't believe it!
I gathered a couple of things I would need and left to try to catch the cruise over there. Well, due to the fact my timing sucks I missed it.
"I totally missed the boat...literally." I grumbled.
I wondered what my options were... I could catch a plane, but I hated planes. I could catch another cruise, but I wasn't looking forward to it. Then there was the fact I could swim to catch the cruise.
Before I could complain anymore I let myself fall over the edge.
"OMG! That one chick just fell into the water!" People were shouting behind me.
The water was cold, but I ignored it and kept paddling (the doggy paddle) with my luggage strapped to my back. I alternated swimming styles for what seemed like hours until I saw a ship in the horizon.
"Yes!" I cried out just when a wave washed over me and filled my mouth with salty water.
I choked out the nasty stuff and paddled as fast as my lasting strentgh could carry me. Once I reached the ship, I hurled my luggage onto the ship, hoping that I didn't strike anyone dead, and then scaled up the stern of the ship.
I was soaking wet and as tired as heck, but I had made on board. Vacation, here I come.
Taki~
Random title... >> Don't expect this to be any good, or make any sense, or... etc. I was suddenly stricken with TBC writer's block about ten minutes ago. :/
Also, the excerpt from the story Asuka's reading is a story I hope to publish someday when I sharpen my literary skills. :3

And Lily stood, growing increasingly irritated at the two morbidly obese individuals crushing the lawn chairs that Mrs. Woods had labored so incredibly hard to make. She pressed ever harder on the slideshow's clicker as she observed the pair chatting about their company's newest product and being completely oblivious to Lily's presentation of "Unexplainable Things". She was so enraged at one point, that the sound of the clicker beginning to crack under her grip startled the two businessmen into paying attention once again.
...Lily ended up having to finish the rest of the slideshow with a ha-
"Anything wrong, Asuka?"
I was so startled, I almost changed into my bijuu form to attack the person who had just spoken. But I remembered that there were humans on this ship too, and I didn't want to blow it for everyone, and that was enough to calm me down. I looked up at the person who had spoken. Almost immediately I recognized him as the "King of the Bijuu" that Raijuu had shown me when I first Teh Biju Club. Yet... I didn't know his name. And how did he know who I was? Of course, it was my first instinct to ask.
"Who are you? I don't believe we've met before," I stated.
"Kyuubi no Yoko. I am the leader of Teh Biju Club," he replied.
"Huh. You shouldn't be wasting your time talking to me then. I have nothing to say." I tried to be as straightforward as possible. Talking to him felt uncomfortable, like if a lowly peasant were talking to an emperor. To make it look like Kyuubi had interrupted my story, I pulled the book up to my face and pretended to read.
He shrugged. "Fine with me," he said, and strolled away.
My mother-that-had-just-told-off-her-kid-for-no-good-reason instinct kicked in, and I felt a sense of guilt. I hoped hadn't sounded too harsh... What if he spreads nasty rumors about me or something? Then I would be hated by all of the members of Teh Biju Club!
Bitterness towards the cruise's destination, thoughts on love, and what horrible things that might come out of this sudden incident all weighed heavily in my mind. I was really hoping that we would get to Hawaii soon so I could go drown myself in a coral reef or something...
Someone please continue!

Lol. Asuka's paranoid nao. Yeyz. >D
Chiyoko and I came to the pool and dived in, swimming around. Most of the others were swimming too and I could tell Shukaku was off doing something, but I shrugged it off and continued what I was doing until I was bored swimming. I got out and dried myself and hair off. Since I couldn't transform into a fox, it'd be a little more difficult to get the water out of my hair and off me, but I think it's a lot better than everyone else on the ship (yes there ARE humans on the ship) going into mass chaos and spazzing out, trying to tazor us and put us in unbreakable cages and send us to a lab somewhere.
While I was still around the pool, I noticed Asuka sitting around and staring at the others and was sitting by herself. I decided to walk over since we haven't formally been introduced. "Anything wrong Asuka?" I asked.
