The Overflow

Chapter 16

Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi, Haruna, Kozue and I began to tread through the cave. "This place... is actually a haunted spot where even the locals don't dare to come." Hikaru boasted before Kaoru spoke up. "This cave doesn't show itself except for when the tide is out. Despite this, there have been many people who have drowned here." His brother said. Haruna, Kozue shrieked at the boy's imposturous story only leaving me and Haruhi to roll our eyes. "And apparently, their grudges drag people that pass into the darkness." Kaoru told us trying to give off an eerie vibe. "What's that?!" Hikaru called out. In the darkness, a shadow moved, which in this case resembled a puppet in a way. Weird. Screams resonated from Haruna and Kozue once more before things got a bit more spooky. Or at least they were supposed to, in the twins' plan.

A plastic skeletal hand landed upon Haruhi's shoulder. Before I receive a small tug at my wrist. I looked at the culprit before rolling my eyes. "Really Kaoru?" I asked, annoyed. "What's this? Some kind of fear trial?" Haruhi questioned beside me. Realization struck me within her statement. "So that's what they are doing." I confirmed. Aren't you scared of ghosts at all?" Kaoru asked, trying to get a glimpse of their plan working. "Well, I've never actually seen one." Haruhi sympathized with the twins. I only the other left no hope as I was quick to reject. "Nope." I told the boys. With the cave haunted stories being a bust the boys lead us to the surface.

A little further down the beach, Honey is spotted standing on the back of a truck as he called out to us. "Haru-chan! This way, this way!" Honey bear yelled out to get our attention. As we arrived in closer proximity, we took notice of a military grade box truck. Our minds rambled with speculation of the trucks importance. "Umm... Is it okay to drive something like this on the beach?" Haruhi questioned the safety of the truck and Honey. "It will be fine as long as they don't get too close to the water." I told the girl. Without a second thought the girl jumped onto the back trailer of the truck at Honeys side, as he motioned me to join them. I never took it upon Honey to put such effort in the fear challenge but he sure did and without much so as a second thought. "Well then, everyone in the private police, please." He called out.

With the commands given the pull up door of the truck was slammed close, trapping us in nothing but empty space and darkness. "It's scary! It's dark! It's cramped in here!" Frantically the boy panicked, clearly he was scared, whether it was from the tight enclosed space, the dark atmosphere, or even a mixture of the two. All I know is he was frightened. "Honey bear?" I called out, with no response I gently grabbed onto the small boy holding him on my hip as a mother would, but the small boy continued to scream out once more. "It's scary! It's dark! It's cramped in here! It's scary! It's dark! It's cramped in here! It's scary! It's dark! It's cramped in here!" The boy repeated over and over till the door was lifted open. Without a step to spare Mori held a spear close to our direction catching us off guard in a puzzling way. "This is... a harpoon, huh, Mori-senpai?" Haruhi asked, a little confused. I rather took a harsher direct approach in questioning his motive. "Mori...what the fuck?" I voiced. With a bow in respect and a small apology. The tall black haired male set out to do his duty of checking up on Honey, gently grabbing him from my hold.

In the late afternoon the sun seems to be colliding on the shore line casting rays of warmth along the horizon. Hikaru and Kaoru sat together on the edge of the water a few feet away from me and Kyoya station, before I caught sight and decided to join Haruhi's walk through the shallow water. "This game is impossible." Hikaru stated as the memories of each host slowly failed at finding Haruhi and I fear replayed in his head. "Ahh... This is kind of boring." Kaoru motions in respect to the game in which they have lost. "I'm starting to think they aren't scared of anything at all." Hikaru conceded.

The twins' conversations came to a halt as they spotted the club's King Tamaki digging through the grass. "Hey boss?" Hikaru called out, waiting for his brother to continue. "What are you doing?" Kaput asked as Tamil places another object within this bucket. Tamaki brings out a bucket of snakes. Showcasing the green slithery reptiles that looked ready to bite. "I've got green snakes here. It should look scary when I've gathered this much." Tamaki revealed his plan not expecting feedback to come at such a negative magnitude.
"Anyone would feel frightened at that. That's not a fear point." Hikaru told the king trying to push the plan of releasing reptiles upon the girls. "But... were there green snakes in Okinawa to begin with?" The brother asked. However the snakes were indeed not from the area but rather venomous.

Along the sea waters, seashells and small jellies are washed ashore. Dazzling and decorating the sandy paths before being drugged back out to sea. Haruhi took advantage as she caught sight and retrieved a shellfish along our walk as we spotted some of our valued guests in the distance. Momoka, Kimiko, and Ruri stand on a large rock formation above us before calling out. "Hey! The wind feels good here, you should come up here." The girls yelled together. Haruhi rather voiced her concern rather than follow in the girls plan. "It's dangerous, be careful." The girl yelled back. I, on the other hand, had different plans. "I think I'm going to go join them and get a better view of the sunset. Do you want to come?" I asked Haruhi, in return all I received was a simple head shake in response, and with that I set on my way.

Standing on a cliff overlooking the sea as the sun sets was a truly breathtaking experience. The sky is painted with a spectrum of warm colors—deep oranges, pinks, and purples—reflecting off the calm waters below. The sound of the waves gently crashing against the rocks adds a soothing rhythm to the scene. A cool breeze brushes against your skin, carrying the salty scent of the ocean. As the sun dips below the horizon, the entire landscape seems to glow with a serene, almost magical light. It's a moment of pure tranquility and awe, where time feels like it stands still, and you can't help but feel a deep connection to the beauty of nature. It made me feel powerful in a way.

However it didn't take long for our peacefulness to be broken. As some drunk perverted males let their tentativeness carry them too far. "Ohh! There are some chicks over here!" The first man was littered with the stench of whiskey that could burn nose hairs. But still the man pledged to tread on in a journey for self pleasure and sadly bringing an accomplice. "Lucky us." The other man said while making way up to the top. "Hey, pretties, let's go have some fun." One of the men said, this comment sparked a terror in us as the boys preyed. The two boys approach us girls leaving only a few options under our belt. "Who are you people?" She asked, trying to create distance. One of the boys took his chance and grabbed Momoka's wrist. Holding her tightly, I secretly made my way trying to reach the captor and the victim. "Come on, it's boring just being by yourselves, right?" The man questioned while taking hold of Momoka's luxurious hair. His hold seemed to tighten by the minute and just as I was about to be able to interject, attention was shifted.

"Please stop. This is a private beach. Right Lena?" Kimiko called out, all hope of getting Momoka out of the man's grip vanquished as everyone stared at me down to my soul. "Does that mean we are alone?" One of the men said circling in on my position and instigating at the opportunity. The other boy quickly wrapped his arms around my body. Not necessarily in a harsh way but rather a way to fit his motives. I felt trapped and within that moment my mind only raced, this wasn't another one of the hosts attempts to scare us was it? No. It would involve Haruhi as well shouldn't it? I didn't know if I was more scared to admit that this was happening or scared because it was too stupid to see the threat till now. Either way, we needed the boys.
