chapter 6

"Gosh darn it!" Kiri yelled, trowing her hands in the air after messing up in a game she should have won.

"Oi! Kit! Calm down, will ya?" Burn glared at the girl. The only reason he even came here was because Hitimoko insisted. NOT because he liked Kiri. This week was going to be a total pain if he had to deal with this attitude of hers. He didn't even know that she had that kind of temper!

"FOR GOSH"S SAKE! MY NAME IS FREAKIN KIRI," she shouted at the boy, earning questioning glances from the other campers.

"Ah, Kiri-chan. Please calm down," Yuuki tried to soothe the raging girl.

"I'm going to the river. See you guys at the-I mean see you guys a little before super," she said, giving her counselor a glance. Violet looked at her questioningly, before giving the girl an apologetic smile before letting her do her own thing.

"Eh, Violet-sensei? Is it ok to let her run off like that?" Fubuki asked, slightly concerned for the poor girl.

"Oh, it's ok Fubuki-kun. In reality, if I was a camper, I'd do the same thing," she said, dismissing the boys fears. By the river, Kiko, Kei, and Kiri were talking about how to deal with what was going to happen next.

"Ok, so if you need help in the village, walk to either mine or Kiko's country, ok?" Kiri said to Kei. Little did she know that their meeting was being eavesdropped by some very curious boys.

"What does she mean by village? And walking to another country? That's insane!" Ryuuji whisper-shouted, causing the others to shush him.

"OI! MINNA! GATHER UP!" The main director of the camp, Aron, yelled.

"WHA! Aww man! I thought we had more time!" Kei complained, nervous for her future.

"Ok. Since we want everything to be a surprise, I ask that none of the 2nd years answer ANY of the 1st years questions. Remember, you're doing great! Alright. You guys need to go inside and pack exactly what I say. A sleeping bag and a water bottle, along with something to write and a flashlight. Go," he shouted, dissmising the teens.

"Ehhh? You're going to wear that, Kit-chan," Fudou heard Kiko yell. That was odd. The girl never questioned anything. EVER. So what was so bizarre about what Kiri was wearing? He heard a door open up, so he looked out the door of the guys room to see who it was. Maybe he could figu-

"STOP STARING AT ME!" Kiri yelled, causing everyone who saw her, including Fudou, to burst out laughing. Standing in the middle of the living room was Kiri. Only thing was, she was wearing a heavy sweatshirt with short-shorts. In the middle of JULY.

"O-Oh my gosh! And I thought I was the stupid one!" Boke yelled, poking fun at his cousin.

"Well, don't come crawling to me when it's 5 in the morning and you're freezing," she said, walking out of the cabin to go where the rest of the kids were. Once they were all in the clearing, the counselors, along with the kids, split into two groups, each heading different ways. Kiko with Riku, Kie with Kiri. Let's follow Kiri's group, shall we?

Half-way through the hike up the mountain, she could tell the heat was starting to get to the guys in her group. As much as she wanted to deny it, she was pretty tired to. It was at least 80% and she was wearing a hoodie! She saw they other guys in her group take big swings of water. Well, good thing she said to bring milk cartons! They were almost out of water! And the containers were full! As the groups reached the top of the mountain, she felt Fubuki stiffened beside her. That's when she realized what was happening. At this particular camp, they transfer you into a third-world country where you have to survive. In order for the campers to get a good feel of what that was like, the camps set up a sort of 'customs' ritual at the top of the surrounding mountains. This made sure that the kids only had what they were originally supposed to. Like, say a kid brought a pillow? Taken away. An extra change of clothes? Not ganna happen. C'mon at least a tooth brush! Really? Yep, these were put into bags where the kid's name was written on, and the kid was told to pass. Kiri was casually going through customs, 'cause thankfully the counselors had the decency to let the women inspect the girl's bags. Anywho, she was halfway through her inspection when one of the 'guards' dragged her over to a very unstable looking hut made out of cardboard. I say hut, but it was more like a cardboard box with two sides missing, so that way you could easily see inside. So, having seen this happen before, she just sat and watched as the rest of her group was inspected. Well, almost.

"You! Come! You know her?" The guard asked, grabbing Yuuki and facing him to look at Kiri. 'Oh Gosh... why Yuuki? Now I'll never give out... Geez, Hitoshi will NEVER let this down' the girl thought, as the guard continued questioning Yuuki. At one point, another 'guard' came up with a (read: NOT LOADED) gun. Aww, poor Yuuki! Almost cried when he saw that! But as he looked over and saw Kiri sitting in the hut, he decided to be brave for the girl. So, he continued the test until she was let go. Once they were half-way to thier destination, Kiri finally spoke.

"Ahh, arigotou, Yuuki-kun! Hate it when that happens..." she said, getting a far-away look in her eyes.

"umm, what was that?" Yuuki asked, clearly wondering what happened to his stuff.

"Oh, that? That was just customs. You think that was scary? Try the slums..." she said the last part under her breath. Just as she finished her sentence, the two groups arrived at the village.

"AHH! YAY! YO! Welcome to the village!" Kiri said, running around the different huts and almost falling in the water. "OI! Violet-chan! What country are we in?"

"Umm, Kiri, we're in America.." Fubuki said, wondering why the girl was so energetic.

"Oh! That's easy! We're going to be staying in the Philippines!" Violet said, earning glances from the guys in the group.

"Ahhh! So, their putting us all together, are they? Ohh! Ne, Violet-chan? Can I play in the water" Kiri said, quickly rushing up and down the rickety wooden stairs.

"No, sorry Kiri!"

"awww maaan...Can I at least visit others?"

"Oi! Can you please explain what's going on?" Burn yelled, getting the teens attention.

"Oh! That's simple silly! Welcome to 10 worlds, or, more specifically the global village!" She said, swinging her arms around.
