[D2, MA] Hold your breath

[Shiba Yukari]

"Well, I'm sure we'll come up with... something. And I owe you a painting lesson, too..."

It was very warm. Her clothes were feeling restrictive.

Funny, that.

Focus! You're not alone...

[Miya Akari]

"Ahh, so you do. I am excited for it. Although I must admit to being exited whenever I think of you now," she said with a playful smile. Was she trying to raise the temperature to encourage her out of her kimono?

Apparently she was starting to feel at least a little impatient, as imperceptibly to the outside world, but obvious between them, she ran a finger from Yukari's knee to where the hem had ended the previous night.

"Very excited."

[Shiba Yukari]

"I know the feeling."

And there was the tingle, all right. And the goosebumps.

"But perhaps this isn't quite the place?"

[Miya Akari]

"It definitely isn't, but I couldn't help stealing a touch.
Even if I want so much more than that."

Her finger returned to her own side.

"You should finish eating if we are to swim together today."

Her smile was bright and inviting.

[Shiba Yukari]

"I was under the impression Kenzo-san was looking to... vary the menu? Still. I suppose I could get changed..."

She rose to her feet and headed for the partition.

[Miya Akari]

"Well, it could be some time before he collects enough," she replied.

"Have you been swimming much in the past?" she asks the Shiba behind the curtain.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

Kenzo surfaced briefly and took several large gulp of air before diving back down.

[Shiba Yukari]

"Have you been swimming much in the past?" she asks the Shiba behind the curtain.

Yukari laughed. "Oh, Fortunes, no!"

There was the sound of first one kimono, then another hitting the floor of the crude structure.

"No, Kenzo-san proposed this as a lesson, and since we're on an island, it made sense..."

And another. She'd definitely dressed... properly that day.

But she emerged dressed far... less so.

Like Akari, she wore a sarashi and fundoshi- but hers had been carefully embroidered, so that rather than the more typical monochromatic white, hers were embroidered with dark thread in geometric designs- strategically so.

Evidently, she'd seen white fabric get wet before

[Miya Akari]

Akari was about as concerned over a wet sarashi as she was being in a bathhouse. That is to say not at all.

She tries, really tries, to not react too strongly.

"Oh kami..." I need to get in the water.

She fails at her attempt to not react as she flushes. The sin of desire was strong in Akari.

"That is..." That is... She squirms a bit. ...lovely. "...sexy."

She covers her mouth as she mixes thoughts and words for the second time with the Phoenix.

[Shiba Yukari]

Which of course set Yukari to blushing furiously.

"Ah... thank you? Perhaps we should go make sure Kenzo-san hasn't been eaten by a giant eel or something?"

As she walked toward the water, she spoke softly.

"You should see the one with flowers on it..."

[Miya Akari]

She rose to join the Shiba.

"Tell me when. I will come watch you try it on. And then take it off you."

Fortunes... which fortune was the fortune of satisfaction? She needed to offer prayers to them.

Then she turned around and started jogging backwards to the water, encouraging Yukari to join her. "Come on!" She has a giant, excited smile.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

Kenzo burst back above the surface and walked up out of the surf onto the beach. The bag he had taken down with him now looking full and ever present smile was large. It grew larger still when he saw what was jogging backwards towards him and grew again when he saw what had grabbed Akari's attention so fully. He wondered if the Miya would be distracted enough to walk right into him and silently moved himself to make it happen if she didn't turn around. He winked at Yukari and waited to see how the little joke would play out.

[Shiba Yukari]

Yukari spotted the wink... and didn't respond.


Since she didn't want to give it away.

She simply followed along, with a smile on her face, letting Akari keep backing up.

[Miya Akari]

As she heard the waves she didn't wish to lose her footing to one and so she turned just as she was moments from crashing into him. She couldn't stop her momentum on the loose sand. So she hit him with full force. She was surprisingly heavy for her size and build. Her face was surprised by the sudden impact.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

Normally Kenzo could have taken the impact, he was expecting it after all. But his weakened knee buckled and he was going down. Reflexively he hooked an arm around her waist and threatened to pull her down with him.

[Shiba Yukari]

Yukari clapped her hands over her mouth as the two bushi started to go under- but only for a split second, before she was running in try and lend a hand.

Assuming she could figure out what to do.

[Miya Akari]

It became clear why she was a bit heavier than her frame suggested. There was very little fat to be felt in the contact. It wasn't strong, but rather dense. She fell on top of him, pressed against him, chest to chest.

Gathering her senses and taking stock of the situation, she opened her eyes a bit wider in surprise. Then whispered to him quietly. Yukari likely heard from her vantage point.

She looked to the Shiba with a small smile as she began extricating herself.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

His reply was so instinctive that it came before he fully comprehended the question and was just as quite....


....I found some clams, how do you two like them hot or raw?

[Shiba Yukari]

Eep

Well, things had definitely taken a turn there.

So Yukari.. somewhat froze up.

[Miya Akari]

The Miya makes her way to her feet and smiles as though nothing had happened... but something had. Brushing sand from her legs.

"I prefer clams warm, but oysters raw," she replied.
