And ONTO THE STORY!
Busy Vacation
"This is it?" a blonde teen asked as she stood in front of a large building. She wore a black dress, which was typical of her.
"Yep!" her fiancee said optimistically. He was a tall brunette wearing an unbuttoned white T-shirt and green cargo pants. He happened to be carrying at least four suitcases and was having trouble with the balancing act.
Arrival
"It doesn't look all that impressive," she said, her usual deroggatory tone not affecting her fiancee in the least.
"Come on, Anna! You haven't even gone inside yet!" a girl with blue hair walked up to Anna, holding two suitcases.
"Jeez, Pilica! How many suitcases did you bring!" a voice called from the trunk of the limosine that had been waiting for them upon their arrival at the airport. The voice belonged to Pilica's airhead, food-loving brother, Trey, who kept pulling out suitcases that belonged to his darling sister.
"As many as they'd allow on the plane!" she shouted back.
"But we were brought here by private jet! They don't have a set number!" Trey called, sticking his head out from under the trunk.
"Then I don't know!"
"Need help, Trey?" the shy, pink-haired girl asked, a blush coming to her cheeks. She was the last of their traveling group.
"Thank you, Tamora!" Trey said, relieved.
"Please!" Anna said, having enough of the foolishness. "They're the Tao family! Don't they have servants for that stuff!"
Trey dropped the suitcase he was holding. "I guess you're right,"
"Then let's go in. Yoh? Bring my suitcases with you," she ordered quickly, and order that would not be disobeyed.
"Please, sister! What is their to gain by opening a hot spring!" a purple, spike-haired boy asked his green, spike-haired sister.
"It'll be fun, Len! You can't say that you don't like fun!" she countered, placing the sushi she was preparing onto the dish in front of her.
"Yes, I like fun," Len gave in. "But obviously we don't need the money!"
"And who said I was doing it for the money?" Jun turned on him. Turning back, she smiled to herself, her plan was finally taking off.
"Well, I guess I supposed-"
"Miss Jun," Pai Long said, entering the kitchen. He made eye contact with his mistress. She smiled.
"Oh, good! The guests have arrived!" she squealed, making her way out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the main floor.
"Guests?" Len repeated, following her quickly.
Reaching the living room, Len caught up with his sister.
"What guests?" he repeated.
"Oh wow! Look at this place!" a familiar voice sounded from his left.
"P-P-Pilica?" Len asked.
Jun just turned and smiled at him.
"Pilica! Stop ogling! You look like a tourist!"
"Trey!" Len asked Jun in disbelief. "You invited the Ainu's!"
"Place them down here, Yoh,"
"Yes, Anna,"
"And the She-Devil and the Shaman King!" Len continued.
"She's not a She-Devil!" Jun insisted. "Anna is a very talented Shaman and Medium. You should respect her," She made her way to the front hall, leaving Len alone in the living room.
"Oh yes! I'll respect someone who'll kick me from here to tomorrow if I don't obey her! For goodness sake! This is my home!" Len said behind his sister's back.
"Hello, everybody!" Jun said, reaching the front hall.
"Jun!" everyone greeted.
"It's nice to see you again," Anna said politely.
"You too, Anna. If you'll all follow me, I'll show you to your rooms. Don't worry about the luggage! I'll send someone to get it,"
"Thank you!" Trey said, relaxation coming to him now that he didn't have to carry Pilica's luggage.
"Everyone," Len greeted, entering the room.
"Hey, Len!" Yoh greeted.
"Yoh," Len said back in his usual cold demeanor.
"Len! Buddy!" Trey said, wringing an arm around the Chinese Shaman's neck.
"Get off me!" Len said and, in typical Len fashion, forcibly removed Trey.
"Now, now, Len. They're guests," Jun said, reprimanding her younger brother. "This way," she indicated a hallway to her right, then started for it. Everyone followed.
"So, Jun," Anna asked after they had all settled in. It was getting late, and the females were in each other's company in the living room. "How did you get your father to go for this hotspring idea?"
"To be honest," Jun said, placing a tray of tea on the coffee table in front of her, and then sitting on the couch, "I didn't. He doesn't know. He has too much land anyway, he'd never be able to keep track! So, after the hot springs were found here, I just moved some of the land and put it under my name. I now own the land and he can't do anything about it because it isn't his property anymore!"
"Smart," Anna commended, taking a sip of tea.
"Thank you," she responded.
"So Anna," Pilica asked. Anna could tell this wasn't the kind of question she'd want to answer. "What have you been doing with Yoh since the Shaman Tournament?" This captured the attention of both Tamora and Jun.
"Nothing, really," she responded. "He still has some basic training I make him do but-"
"I didn't mean like that!" Pilica interrupted, waving a hand. "I mean romantically! He is your fiancee, after all,"
The question caught Anna off guard. She flinched and stuttered, "N-n-nothing!"
"Anna, you're stuttering," Pilica said, knowing Anna was hiding something.
"Well actually, seduction was my plan for this weekend,"
"Huh?" everyone asked, staring blankly at Anna. They never thought she'd be so forward.
"Before Jun asked Yoh and I here, I was planning something that I could do to make a start on the romantic front,"
"So you mean my vacation... interrupted your -erm- plans for Yoh and you?" Jun asked apprehensively.
"Well, yes. but a hot spring isn't exactly the worst place for romanticism," Anna replied, taking another sip of tea.
"So you mean that you plan to seduce Yoh while you're here?" Pilica asked, a plan forming in her head.
"Well I would if I couldn't count on someone interrupting us every time we get alone,"
"Well we could help there!" Pilica said smartly. "You could teach me and Tammy to seduce Len and Trey! Then they'd be out of your way!"
"What?" Tamora asked shyly, a blush rising to her cheeks.
"And you can't deny the personal gain you'd get from that," Anna said, seeing right through Pilica, and ignoring Tamora's outburst. Pilica blushed.
"B-b-but Pilica-!" Tamora said.
"Oh Tammy! Don't deny you like my brother!" Pilica shot, finding her voice again. Tamora's blush deepened
"And don't deny you like mine," Jun said, looking at Pilica, who's blush deepened along with Tammy's.
"Well anyway," Anna interrupted, not wanting to listen to this any furthur. "If we're all in this together, we can keep the boys busy and therefore not interrupt each other, agreed?"
"Agreed," Pilica said.
Tamora just nodded.
"Okay," Anna said. "So here's what we can do first..."
"Morning, Jun!" Trey greeted, having come out of his room and passing the front desk while heading toward the dining room.
"Good morning, Trey," Jun said, a strange smile on her face. "Breakfast is on the table. Unless Yoh and Len ate all of it,"
'If they did, I'll kill them,' Trey thought, and made his way through the entrance hall.
"Mornin' Trey!" Yoh greeted when he arrived at the dining room to see the smorgesport of food that Jun had cooked.
"Hey, Yoh," Trey said, his eyes not leaving the food as he sat down.
They ate breakfast in silence, each reveling in the goodness of the food before them.
After breakfast, when Trey's stomach had bloated to twice its size, he asked. "Hey, where are the girls?"
"They're out in the hot spring already," Jun said, just as planned. She began to clear the dishes. "And just so you know, the guys hotspring is being cleaned today, so the ladies have offered to share their hot spring, as long as you wear bathing suits,"
"No problem!" Trey said.
"I guess that's nice of them!" Yoh said, leaving the room to get his bathing suit.
'What are they up to?' Len thought, his mind bent on conspiracy.
Yoh changed into bathing suit shorts that were green with a black stripe on the side.
Len chose purple shorts with a yellow stripe.
Trey chose blue shorts with a white stripe in the middle of two navy stripes.
"Right! To the hot spring!" Trey shouted, leading the way out the back automatic sliding door.
The back of the onsen was a beautiful garden with a pathway of rocks and concrete leading the way to the hot spring. Around the actual pool of water, the path spread to become a patio with an assortment of lawn chairs.
The boys spotted the girls almost immediately. Smiling to themselves, they walked to the edge.
Yoh was the first to slip in. He chose a spot next to his fiancee, and a rather close spot at that. He couldn't see underwater at what she was wearing, but he could tell it was strapless since her shoulders emerged from beneath the steamy water, and they were bare.
Trey and Len chose a spot on the opposite side of the spring, not particularly near Yoh and Anna, and closer to where Pilica and Tamora were sitting together.
At closer observation, Len spotted that Pilica was wearing a bathing suit with a halter. But that was all he could tell since the water blocked his view.
Trey surveyed that Tamora was wearing a standard one-piece bathing suit from the part of her that could be seen above the water. Inside, he was disappointed. Even Anna had worn something without straps! Sometimes, Tamora was just too shy for her own good.
Inconspicuously, Anna made eye contact with Tamora and Pilica, asking if the plan was ready to be put into action. The return glances told her that things were ready to get under way.
"What is there to do here?" Anna asked Len, "Besides the hot springs,"
"What do you mean?" he asked, not expecting the question.
"I mean that we're here for a week. Is there anything else here to do besides soak in these hot springs? And even this may not be fun if the boy's side takes too long to clean,"
"We have games. Lot's of them, board, computer, and even some outside games. Not to mention the home theater system and such. The private golf course is open too," Len said, not afraid of flaunting his wealth.
"Wow, Len. This place sure has a lot of commodities! It's sure to be a tourist hot spot," Pilica said, moving closer to the Tao.
Trey flinched at his sister's flirting. He knew she had a soft-spot for the Tao. Not that he liked that, but he'd given up trying to separate them a long time ago. This was around the time he found feelings for a certain pink-haired prophetess, which taught him that the feelings couldn't and wouldn't be dispelled, no matter how hard he tried to make her contain them.
"Well, I suppose. But we don't really need the money, and I'm not sure how my father's going to feel about the publicity. He isn't the most friendly person..." he left the sentence hanging. Most of the people here knew what he was talking about, and would have liked to avoid the subject as much as possible.
"Well," Anna said. "I think I'm done here. Are you coming, Yoh?"
"I don't think so, Anna. I just got here,"
"Alright, if you say so,"
She stood up.
The boys gawked.
Anna was in a very wet, very slim, very skimpy black bikini.
The boy's mouths all hung open and they couldn't tear their eyes away.
Behind them, Pilica and Tamora felt slightly jealous, although they knew that this was part of the plan. Anna was the only one who would ever be able to pull that look off.
Anna turned and jumped out of the spring.
Making a show of drying herself off, Anna exaggerated the swaying of her hips as she walked away from them.
Trey and Len looked from the walking Anna back to the gawking Yoh. Each had the same thing on their minds:
'Are you CRAZY?'
Looking back at the two boys across from him, Yoh gulped.
"On second thought, wait up Anna!" Yoh said, jumping out of the spring and not even bothering to dry himself off.
Len and Trey watched the King walk away, and them turned their attention back to the girl he was desperately trying to catch up with.
Pilica and Tamora each laughed very loudly at that time, causing the boys to look at them.
"I think I'm done too," Pilica giggled. She stood up.
Len gawked.
She happened to be wearing a purple halter tankini that hugged slightly in all the right places and had no back to it.
"PILICA!" Trey shouted, horrified at his sister's choice of clothing "WHAT ARE YOU WEAR-" he cut off.
Tamora had stood up.
The bathing suit was a one-piece, but it was not as shy as he'd originally thought. The stomach of the navy bathing suit was missing, showing off her toned abdomen.
Both boys gulped, each staring at different women.
"Come on, Tammy!" Pilica said, leaving the pool.
"Right, Pilica," she responded coming out after her.
They made their way down the path, each giggling and laughing in turn.
This left both boys in th epool, staring after the retreating forms of the girls.
The next moment, both were scrambling to get out of the hot spring.
TBC!
Haha! I've had this idea for a while now, and I figured I should write it- get it off my chest!
It's cute though, ne?
