Seeking Love feat. Horo Horo>>Ep.19 What's More in Life

"I asked Jun if they had any lying around. Turns out they did!" she said as she handed a board to you, "Wanna go for a run? For old times sake^-^." You nod your head and headed off to the shore.

"Wait a minute! What's going on?" Horo asked before you and Aiori even touched the water.

"Don't tell me you don't know what a surfboard is?!" you shout with awe, along side Aiori.

"Well I--" He was cut short because Aiori grabbed your hand and pulled you along to shore.

"She'll explain later. Right now we have to catch some waves." You both then enter the water and paddle your way on your boards. As you paddle further a wave about twenty feet taller than you was coming in close to you and Aiori. "Ready?" she asked from beside you with a smile.

"Born ready," you replied as you turned your board to face the shore. You carefully balance yourself on your board as the wave started to lift both you and Aiori up. Next thing you new was gliding top to bottom of the wave, careful not to fall over. Like a hot knife through butter, you moved with perfect ease and went as fast as possible. As you reached the other end of the wave, you could see Aiori paddle next to you.

"That felt GREAT!" she said stretching her hands into the air.

"Yeah it was! It's been some time since we last did that," you say placing your hands behind you, acting as support as you leaned back.

"Well, we'd better get back to shore... that is if we want Horo to stop looking at us like that." She points to Horo Horo that was standing jaw dropped at the shore. You paddle you way back to shore with a smile plastered along your face.

You and Aiori sit down on the blankets and start to dry off. "Holy shit! Where'd you learn to do that?!" you hear Horo run up to you two still jaw dropped.

"Before the accident with Kei's mom, we always had summer vacation with each other," Aiori explained. "We'd spend it with other family members too. We had an uncle that was a professional surfer, and he taught us everything we knew." You didn't really listen to the story, you just lay on the blanket arms spread still having the smile on your face. I've forgotten how much I loved the beach... you thought to yourself.

But then something wet encountered your face and you were automatically pulled from your little dream world (me: even though you weren't dreaming, but you get my point-_-"""). You gave a slight cough and sat up. "Hey what was that for?!" you turn your head and see Kimiko holding a little pale.

"No reason! Just wanted to do it!" she said as she started to run.

"Why you little--! Get back here!" you then sprinted towards her as the others just sweat dropped.

"Those two..." Aiori sighed.

You never got to reach Kimiko but you got the chance to spray some root beer in her face. But she was able to wash it sooner or later. "Well, I'm bored. I'm going for a walk," you said stretching your hands to the air. You then placed back on your pants and wore a blue jersey.

"Hey! Wait up! I'm coming with!" Kimiko then put on a small blue cloth that matched the top of her swimsuit to cover the lower portion. "You come too Horo," she said while throwing a light green button up shirt to his face.

"Why do I have to come?" he complained.

"Cuz it won"t be any fun without you," she winked. Horo didn't bother to button up his shirt but you never really noticed. "So where're we goin'?"

"Walking..." you shrugged.

"Uh... okay, how about some ice-cream?" she said directing to a man with an ice-cream cart. "I'll be right back."

"Whatever..."

As she walked over to the ice-cream cart, you just leaned on a near by streetlight and crossed your arms behind your head. You looked up to the sky and took a deep breath followed by a sigh. Its times like these you wish time would just stop so you could savor the flavor. "What flavor?" a voice echoed to your head.

"Huh? What?" you ask groggily.

"Kimiko's asking what flavor ice-cream you want." Horo's voice rings in your head.

"Oh, um. Cookies and cream," (me: I love that flavor!!!!^-^) you say.

"She wants Cookies and cream!" he shouts to Kimiko across the street. She gives a thumbs-up as a sign of okay and turns back to a wrinkly old man behind the cart. "What's up?" Horo asks you.

"Nothing, just thinking..."

"What about?"

"I said its nothing."

"You sure?"

"Yes!" you said in annoyance.

"Cuz if youre having trouble you can tell me."

A vein pops up on your head as you sigh to keep relaxed. "Look Horo Horo, I'm fine," you say with a soft smile and lay your hand on his shoulder, "So just chill, okay? Let's go, Kim has our ice-cream." You reached for his hand and laced your fingers around his and head for Kimiko who was now holding up three ice-cream cones. Horo Horo just turned a bright crimson color and followed you.

~HORO'S POV~

I turned bright red as Kei laced her fingers along mine and started to give a soft smile.

I was taken aback at what just happened. Did I just? No... it can"t be"Here." A familiar voice echoed in my head.

"Huh?" I looked up and saw Kei handing me an ice-cream cone

"Here's your ice-cream."

"Oh... um, thanks." I reached for the edible container and started to lick away. Maybe it was just a harmless flashback. I thought to myself.

~YOUR POV~

As you three walked along the side walk, you came across a small crowd watching a random basketball game. "Hey, wanna watch?" Kimiko asked. You just kept your eye, or tongue, straight for your ice-cream and mumbled, "Sure, whatever."

You leaned on a stone fence surrounding the court and saw at least five random teens, which were all boys, playing street basketball. They were wearing jerseys, beanies, and bandanas giving them that hip hop look that wasn't really working for them. But you paid no heed to them because you were too preoccupied with your ice-cream. Just then, you saw a large orange blur reach your fist knocking your ice-cream over to the ground. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" you shout.

"Woah, sorry man, didn't see you there," a teen taller then you with a buzz cut explained.

"Who's gonna pay for that? You know that cost money!" you said annoyed.

"Bro, just chill. It was just and ice-cream cone," you heard one with a beanie say trying to use a bad surfer-dude accent. And then, then and there, it hit you.

"What did you just call me?" you asked with daggers pointing to Beanie Boy.

"'Bro', why? Dont tell me youre a girl," he joked and pointed his finger on your forehead as the other boys laughed. And again it hit you.

'Uh oh, did he just say what I think he said?' you heard Horo whisper.

'Yeah he did!' you heard Kimiko reply. You just ducked your eyes beneath your bangs and reached for Beanie Boy's finger. If by chance it was still possible for a guy to cry like a new born baby girl, that what was happening right now... with great force, you squeezed the sausage-like finger as the young man kneeled in pain. "Whoah dude! You alright?!" another with long braided hair, spoke with concern.

"OW! THE PAIN! THE PAIN!" the man winced as he tried to pull his finger away from your grip (Me: I just love hearing a man in pain, dont you? I am sooooo eeeeeevil*evil laugh*).

You finally let go as your victim took a step back. "Damn you! What was that for?!" You grabbed the lower portion of your jersey and took it off and threw it to Horo Horo's face to catch. (me: your wearing the top portion of your swimsuit remember!) The five men just stared at awe with mouths slightly ajar. "Dude! You're not a dude!? " (me: really bad grammar skills!!! Really, REALLY bad grammar skills!>.< ) Another proposed as a gleam came to your eye. You grabbed the collar of the owner of the voice and raised him slightly in the air.

"Yeah, Im a girl... problem?" you say with poison on each word.

'Dude, how's it possible that she's that strong?' you hear another holding the basketball whisper.

"Ya'know, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't kick all your asses at once!" you yell as the five men just mocked your statement.

"Ha! Alright then, prove it!" the one with the ball exclaimed shoving it in front of your face, "If you can beat all five of us in one game then will each give you five bucks for the ice-cream, deal?"

"Deal."
