Another Birthday

Here I'm another birthday. Aya and Omi have planed a trip to the hot springs to the south. A pleasant little place nice and quiet. Which sounds great, except that we all are going. Yes, I mean all. Aya, Omi, Ken, Surka, Yohji, and me. Now if it was just Yohji and me, but the others want to come too. I've been packing for the last two hours, if great for alone time with Yohji, not good for the little sister. Oh. I have just a few more hours and am no where near ready yet.

I wake to Yohji pushing me aside and throwing the last of my clothes in to my suitcase.

"Hey with the mess you made there's no room on the bed for me."he sighed. Putting my bag over by his at the door. "I need to get some sleep. Ken rented a van so we can all drive together and save gas. The girls think that its good idea too. You should say you want to drive and then I could have shotgun. We could then put the girls in the way back, and use Omi and Ken for a buffer." he says lying down on the bed next to me. "Do you think we'll be able to sneak away for some alone time?"

"HN"

"I know you a can talk."

"I hope so." I nudge him to role to his side of the bed. He does and close his eyes. I pull him to me, like a big old teddy bear. I reach for the light on the bed side table and settle in for the rest of the night.

The sound of Ken banging on the door awake me. "Yes, yes I hear you."

"Good. Hope your ready because Aya has breakfast on the table and we role with in the hour" He shouted through the door.

"Aya, tell him your driving or we're not going" Yohji said from under the covers.

"Ken!" I yelled after him.

"Yes, Aya" he answers.

"I"M driving and Yohjis in front with me! Right!" I gave it as an order no room for a no.

"Get it up." Ken said. I heard him treading away.

"I mean it Ken. Driving the van or I take my car." I shout to him. I got up and wandered to the bath room. "Yohji get up. The clock is a ticking."

We get down stairs, and I can tell Aya is ready to tell me how the trip is planed. I cut her off before the words leave her lips. "Look its my birthday. I just want to spend time with Yohji, but I did think of you. I changed my plans for you, so the least you can do is let me drive and have Yohji up front with me." I stated.

"Oh, Ran." she looked around the room for a answer. "If that is what you really want I won't fight you on it."

"Thank you." I nodded and bow to her.

"Hey little sis you just made the drive to the spa." Yohji said patting her on the back. Aya smiled over to me and back to him.

"I'm glad that I could be of help to the both of you. Now you must get the keys from Ken." Her smile bigger. "Good luck." She then left to get her bags. Yohji and I left alone the kitchen.

"Ken has the keys. I could take him with a hand behind my back." Yohji laughed. True Ken was no threat, easy.

Ken was out at the van with Omi packing it up.

"Ken. Keys." I said putting out my hand. I had to glare death at him for about a second, and he handed the keys over. I walked back to our room to get Yohji and our suitcases. I dangle the keys in front of Yohji. "No need to worry."

"I had no fear. This is great. If we're in your car there would be no drinks or snacks." Yohji was grinning big an goofy.

"Come on Yohji" I said picking up my bag and holding the door for him. I turned and locked the door. We went down the stairs to find the van ready for us. Only Ken and Omi had took the back seats and the girls where in the middle. I knew that Aya and Sukra had become friends but I still fell like she was stalking me. Yohji put out bags in the back and shut the hatch. I slide into the driver seat put the key in and brought the van to life. Yohji jumped in and put his seat belt on and out of the driveway we went.

We had been on the road for about half an hour when it started.

"Are we there yet?" Yohji asked. He had been told no smoking in the van. Aya chimed in.

"If we could stop at the next rest area that would be good."

"Yes," Ken said I need to take a p......, I mean a break." I almost stop the van, he was not going to say a bad word in front of my sister. I know he felt the glare sent to him through the rearview mirror.

Four rest areas and two gas stations later we arrived at the hot springs. Ken and Omi leave us at the van. It feels like forever before they come back.

"Here are the keys to our rooms. They say we should drive up to them." Omi says holding up the map.

"How many rooms did you get?" Yohji asked looking up from the map. "From the marks on the map it looks like two cabins."

"No it's three rooms. See" Omi said pointing to the map."This ones a two cabins in one. It has a door in the wall incase you need the space."

"Who gets the lone cabin?" I ask. I stare at the other boys to get my point across.

"You do big brother." Aya replied. "No one wants to here the noise from your room." her and Sukra giggled and blushed.

It didn't take long to unload and settle into are rooms. The cabins where just across the road from each other. On our side not another for yards, because of the rocky terrain. We're to meet for dinner and may-be go to the pools. The place had family pools and pools just for females and males. There where pools that were nude or swimsuits too. Thank goodness I did not want my sister to see nude men.

"Hey, Aya what yah thinking about over there?" Yohji questioned from the bed. He was sprawled on the bed. The room was set up for westerns so the bed was king size, just prefect, TV, tub, and shower. "You know we could be late to dinner." he sighed.

"No, Yohji we can't" I said. I wish we could but that would be rude. I had left the party early last time. "So you better get up and get ready." I said walking into the bathroom.
