Enjoying the day

Everyone looked at the boys at the same time. Even Minami, who was so distracted with eating. The three boys smiled, waiting for an answer. Each girl was lost in her own thoughts.

"Sure! Feel free to sit wherever you want," Takamina answered politely. She was the first one who escaped her delusions.

"Thanks!" the tallest member lightly bowed his head. "By the way, I'm Riku!" The table was round, with two empty seats, and a space to pull up another one. He sat on an empty chair beside Yuko. On the other side of the squirrel girl was Sayaka, who sat next to Haruna to protect the girl from her perverted friend. Beside Haruna was Atsuko.

"I'm Kai. Osu!" the smaller member said. He couldn't do his cool hand movement because he was busy holding the plate. He put the plate down on the table, grabbed a nearby chair, and pulled it up to the empty space between Atsuko and Mayu.

"Kuu~su! Osu!" said the middle member. He sat on an empty chair between Minami and Takamina. On the other side of Minami was Sae, followed by Yuki and Mariko. Jurina and Rena were between Mariko and Riku. To close the circle, Takamina was beside Mayu. After a few seconds, Takamina noticed something that startled her even more. Miichan's and Kuu's plate held basically the same amount of food.

"Woah! Kuu! You eat as much as Miichan!" she said, amazed, making a funny face.

"What?! Something wrong with that? The food looks good, and Kuu is hungry," Kuu said, tilting his head. He had a strange third person way of talking. Then, he started to eat happily.

"Nothing. Eat as much as you want. Kayo-chan is going to be happy to see you enjoying her party," Mariko said with a gentle smile. Her friends knew the reason for her sudden behavior change. Kuu was Mariko's favorite.

"Yes! Yuuhi said we can freely enjoy the food!" Miichan said with her mouth half-filled with food. Kuu was also her favorite, but now she was worried about the food.

"Miichan! Watch your manners!" Sayaka scolded. "You know, it's rude to talk with your mouth full."

"It's okay. Let her be. We're all having fun here," Riku said with a smile. Sayaka blushed. It was obvious that he was her favorite.

"Yeah, yeah! Kuu here does that very often," Kai said with a teasing smile.

"Mou! What a lie!" Kuu protested with his mouth full of food. Everyone laughed, except Minami, who blushed together with the boy. Kuu finished chewing the food and swallowed it before speaking again. "So girls, Kuu wants to know which Persona member is your favorite." He shoveled another portion of food onto his fork while waiting an answer.

"Me! Me!" Yuko raised her hand energetically. She really resembled a squirrel when she was acting like that. "I like all the three of you, but Riku is my favorite!" Riku smiled and thanked her.

"Eh! That perverted girl likes Riku, too?" Haruna kind of complained.

"UN! He's tall, kind, and a gentleman! And he is handsome! He is the only guy I would ever date!" Yuko finished her speech, giving Riku a winning smile. The boy blushed and responded with a shining smile.

"Yuko! Stop embarrassing the boy!" Sayaka scolded. Yuko looked at her enraged.

"Shut up, gorilla! I can't believe you don't have courage to say that to him, yourself!" Yuko replied in a squeaky voice. Riku became even more red than he already was. Sayaka blushed as well, and then made a scary face to her friend. Yuko put on her lost puppy face, and Sayaka took a deep breath.

"My favorite is Kai." Atsuko said calmly. Kai smiled and made a cool hand movement. Then, he shook hands with the girl, who was beside him.

"Mine is Kai, too!" Takamina said, blushing a bit. The boy, who was only separated from Takamina by Mayu's seat, gave her a hand for a compliment. The girl shook it shyly.

"I go for Riku!" Sae said with her usual bright smile. Kuu was about to cry. Was there anyone in that table who liked him? "Don't worry, Kuu. Mariko here likes you a lot!" Sae said, tapping Mariko's shoulder from behind Yuki. Mariko blushed. Kuu gave her a scrutinous look.

"Thanks!" he said, smiling. Then, he turned to Sae. "Hmm. She is kind of scary, and so tall..." That commentary reminded Mariko of someone she knew.

"Oh! I understand what you're trying to say! She's a tall, scary, skinny old mummy!" Minami said excitedly. Then, she gazed Mariko with a grim look on her face. That made Minami feel better after such a stressful morning. She got to eat tons of tasty food, and now tease Mariko, both of which helped her surpass the stress.

"Shut up, Gachapin!" Mariko shouted. Anger was visible in her face.

"Forget about these two, Kuu. They've been like this all morning," interrupted Yuki. "I like Kuu! I love your cheerful and playful side." Yuki said it in a dramatic way.

"I like Kuu, too." Mayu gave him a lovely smile. It was little bit strange to see her smiling like that in front of a lot of people. "I think you provide a lot of entertainment."

"Yay! Kuu is happy now!" Kuu extended an open hand to Mayu and they hi-fived. "And you, the monkey girl who is hanging on the princess-like girl?" Kuu asked Jurina, making everyone laugh.

"Hey! That was my kind of line!" Minami complained.

"You lost your chance!" Kuu answered sticking his tongue out at Miichan. Minami replied the same way. Jurina stared at the two. She was a bit upset about the nickname the boy gave her.

"Too bad for you! I like Kai. I'm sure he would never call me a monkey. He's too cool for that!" Jurina said childishly.

"I like Kai, too. I like the way he's honest with his feelings," Rena said, blushing. Riku and Kuu laughed. Kai blushed furiously. The girls got quite confused.

"You know, Kai can be a lot of things. Like when he speaks his mind without thinking first and getting us three in big trouble. But honesty with his feelings is something he doesn't have," Riku explained while Kuu kept laughing. The girls looked at the smaller member of Persona, trying to figure out what Riku meant. Kai stood up fast.

"Thanks for the meal! I'm full! Excuse me!" he walked away from the table with his half-filled plate. Everyone looked at each other, confused.

"Mou, what a waste of food..." Minami and Kuu sighed at the same time. Another wave of laughter invaded the table.

After everyone finish their meals, each of them decided what they wanted to do. Sayaka, Yuko, Takamina, and Mayu went upstairs to change into swimsuits. The boys went to change as well. The suits they had been wearing were hot, and they had to save it for the show. Minami wanted to eat her dessert. The rest of the girls wanted to rest after lunch. All of them agreed to meet in the living room to decide what to do.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone was there. Sayaka was the first one to walk downstairs. She was dragging Yuko with her, in case the girl wants to comb through Haruna's belongings. The taller girl was wearing a white, large and long sleeveless shirt with flower stamp. The squirrel girl was just wearing jeans short and her pastel colored bikini top. It was a very funny scene: Sayaka with an angry face dragging Yuko, who was complaining that she just wanted to check up on Nyannyan's things. When Yuko realized she was already at the living room, she blushed furiously at everyone's confused gaze. Mayuyu appeared out of nowhere asking what had happened. She was wearing a cobalt blue one piece with a heart-shaped line in a faded shade of white. Over the swimsuit, she was wearing a cruised dress. After the shock, Sayaka answered.

"Yuko doing what she always does." Mayuyu just gave an 'OH' as feedback and went to the nearest empty seat. Takamina was the last girl missing. She walked downstairs, apologizing for her lateness. She was wearing a light pink skirt and a sleeveless shirt with bow design. Now, they had to wait for the boys.

The girls didn't wait long. The three idols walked downstairs together. In the girls' eyes, they were walking in slow-motion, showing off all their charm in casual clothes. Kai was wearing dark green boxer shorts with an orange t-shirt over a white light long sleeved shirt. Riku was wearing a black gym pants with a light red 'v' collar shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Kuu was wearing marine blue gym pants with a sailor-style long sleeve shirt. When they finally reached the main floor, a cheerful voice said.

"Cool! You guys look like a sentai group!" It was Mayuyu. Takamina smiled at the thought of her friend getting used to all the new faces.

"Thanks!" Kuu said. "So, what we're going to do now?"

"Kuu! I'm going to eat waffles. Want to join me?" Minami asked him. The boy opened a large smile.

"But you just had lunch, glutton Gachapin!" Mariko teased. Minami just stuck out her tongue. Mariko rolled her eyes.

"Not fair! I want to spend time with Kuu, too!" Mayuyu and Yuki said at the same time. They looked at each other, blushing slightly.

"Why don't we all five go eat waffles?" Kuu suggested.

"Agreed!" Minami, Mayuyu, and Yuki said together. Mariko just wondered if she was included, since he said five.

"Good! Let's go! Hey, you, tall woman. Aren't you coming too?" Kuu asked Mariko. She sighed and stood up thinking that 'tall woman' is nicer than 'old mummy'. Kuu, Mayuyu, Yuki, and Mariko went to the veranda and sat at a table while Minami went to the kitchen to ask a maid to bring them the waffles.

"I want to walk around the beach," Kai said.

"I wanted to do that, too! I saw rocks far away. There might have a cave," Takamina said cheerfully.

"That sounds fun. I'm in!" Atsuko thought it was better than laying on a mat to sunbathe and wait someone to throw sand on her again.

"Let's go, too, Rena! And there's a nice view from the rocks!" Jurina said frantically. Rena realized that Jurina was entering hyper speed mode. She knew what she had to do to slow down the girl, but she didn't want to do that. So, she just nodded in acceptance. The five of them walked out of the house straight to the beach.

"I want to play in the beach..." Riku said shyly.

"Yay! Come on!" Yuko grabbed Riku's arm and they started to run towards the beach. She wanted to play on the beach, too, and the faster they get there, the more fun they would have. Sae laughed at the scene; Sayaka shook her head negatively; Haruna felt a bit strange, though she didn't know why. They ended up following the two.

Yuko dragged Riku past Kai's group and headed straight to where she found Minami earlier that morning. Everything was still there: the ball, the mats, and the umbrella. The girl turned to the boy, waiting for the next step. Riku released his arm from Yuko's grasp and walked slowly to the ocean. With his feet, he felt the temperature of the water. It wasn't cold; it wasn't warm; it was the perfect temperature.

"Geez, Yuko! You run too fast!" Sayaka said, approaching with Haruna and Sae.

"It's because the fun isn't gonna wait for us!" Yuko squeaked.

"Great! What we are going to do now?" Sae asked.

"Let's get into the water!" Yuko said, waving her two arms. Sae, Haruna, and Sayaka agreed, but Riku flinched.

"Hmm... You girls go. I'll stay here just getting my feet wet..." Riku said, hesitantly.

"Why? You have to get in, too! It'll be more fun with everyone!" Yuko complained. Then something crossed her mind. "Don't tell me you don't know how to swim?"

"Ummm..." Riku panicked. "Yes! That's it! I can't swim!" It wasn't that he couldn't swim. He could, actually. It was just that if he got wet, they would see that...

"No way!" Yuko squeaked again. "We can teach you! We can teach you!"

"It's okay. You don't have to," Riku insisted.

"Let him be, Yuko. Come on. Let me splash you!" Sayaka said carrying Yuko under an arm. She walked in the water, and then threw Yuko in deep. The squirrel girl screamed and struggled in the air. She hit the water with a huge splash. Haruna, Riku, and Sae were getting worried because Yuko was taking too long to get back to the surface. But Sayaka knew that with the strength she used, her friend might be down pretty deep. To everyone's relief, Yuko's head appeared on the surface, and she started to scream unintelligible words. As she swum towards the group, they started to understand.

"Sayaka! You crazy gorilla! Wait until I get you! I'm gonna kill you!"

By the time Yuko arrived, everyone was laughing. She sat down to recover her energy. As soon she got better, she stood up and started to chase after Sayaka. Yuko chased Sayaka into the water and pushed her down. Sayaka felt the not-so-cold water over her body and relaxed. She softly hit the sandy ground and automatically stood up. Her hair was all over her face, so she tilted her head backwards and her hair swung around, splashing water until it heavily hit her back.

Sae saw the scene in a different way. With mouth slightly open, she watched Sayaka stand up slowly. Her shirt was thoroughly wet and attached to her body. It revealed a well-toned body with nice curves. When Sayaka tilted her head, the time slowed down even more. All the water drops around her sparked with the sunlight. Sayaka put a hand on her hip.

"Mou! Yuko, you could have at least waited me to take off the shirt. Now it's completely wet," Sayaka said, not exactly angry.

"It's your own fault. You could have taken it off while I was taking a breath. You knew I would chase after you." Yuko just shrugged her shoulders. Sayaka sighed and started to take her shirt off.

Once again, Sae saw that in a different way. Sae watched every inch of Sayaka's skin being uncovered with a grin. There was nothing missing. The drops of water sparkled. Sae thought Sayaka was an extremely sexy woman. And that that black bikini with delicate daisy design was really hot on her. Haruna and Riku watched Sae's reaction with some kind of amusement. Haruna knew that few women could put that stupid expression on her friend's face. Sayaka walked out the water and put her shirt on the umbrella's top to dry it. Then, she noticed Sae.

"Are you ok, Sae?"

"Fine..." she answered with a thick voice.

"So come on! The water is nice!" Sayaka said, gently pushing her friend.

"Come on, Nyannyan!" Yuko walked towards Haruna and grabbed her hand, pulling the girl into the water. Haruna let the squirrel girl be, since she wasn't being groped.

They all started to splash water into each other. With everyone running around in the water and laughing, Riku was convinced to join the fun. As long as he stayed in the sun, he would dry fast. So there were more laughs and splashing. Then they started to play with the ball. It was being thrown randomly, but most of the time, Sae or Yuko got hit by it.

"Mou! Watching Yuko get hit isn't fun anymore," Haruna complained.

"Hey, why don't we bury someone in the sand?" Riku suggested.

"That sounds fun!" Sae said cheerfully.

"Yeah! But who?" Yuko asked. The four looked at her. "NO! Why me?" She squeaked.

"Because you are the smallest here," Sayaka answered.

"NO!" Yuko insisted.

"If you let us bury you, Haruna will give you a kiss!" Sae suggested. Yuko's eyes went wide and she smiled.

"What?! N.." Haruna started to protest, but Sae gave her a pleading look. "Ok."

"Horaaay! You can bury me!"

They started to dig a hole in the sand. Even Yuko helped. Then, Yuko laid on the hole, and Riku, Haruna, Sae, and Sayaka started to cover her body with sand. When they finished, it was so tight that Yuko couldn't move.

"My kiss now, Nyannyan!" Yuko asked happily. Haruna knelt down, holding her own hair to prevent it from falling on Yuko's face, and kissed Yuko's nose. "Mou! It had to be on my lips!" Yuko complained.

"Hmm." Haruna pretended to think about it. "Not today! But here is a consolation gift." Then, she kissed Yuko's cheek. Haruna stood up and walked away. Yuko was happy because she won two kisses in a row from Nyannyan .

"Man! I'm dead!" Riku said, dropping himself onto the mat Mariko used that morning. Soon, he was fast asleep. Haruna laid down on the mat beside Riku, wondering why she had kissed that perverted squirrel twice. Sayaka went to swim all her energy out. Sae sat on the last mat and watched Sayaka.

Meanwhile, on the veranda: Minami brought a maid with her. She sat between Kuu and Mariko. The maid was pushing one of the meal carts filled with warm waffles, different kinds of syrups, honey, plates, cutlery, and napkins. She placed a plate in front of everyone at the table, followed by the cutlery and the napkins. She beautifully arranged the waffles, the syrups and the honey on the table. There was one bottle per flavor.

"It looks delicious!" Kuu said, smelling the nice aroma.

"It is! I tasted one with blueberry syrup back in the kitchen!" Minami said with a smile. 'What a kid!' was the only thing Mariko could think. Kuu, Mayuyu, and Yuki smiled as well.

They started to help themselves. Before leaving, the maid said if they wanted more, they should ring a tiny bell she left on the table. As soon they started to eat, their favorites were decided. Mariko liked the apple syrup, Mayuyu liked strawberry syrup, Yuki liked grape syrup, and Minami and Kuu, despite the fact they both ate some of every syrup on the table, preferred honey. Once in a while their hands, met on the way of the honey bottle. Minami was trying to be kind to her favorite idol, but that was becoming an annoyance. And all of the waffles available on the table had been eaten.

"Let's order more!" Kuu said with mouth full of partially-chewed waffles. Then, Mayuyu rang the bell. Mariko saw a middle aged man, Yuuhi's father, walking onto the veranda before he laid down on a divan, near their table. Yuki looked at Mayuyu and saw her face was dirty with syrup. She grinned.

"Mayuyu, you look like a child with your face full of syrup." Yuki said while grinning, wiping Mayuyu's face with a napkin. She grabbed the girl's face with a hand and stared really close. "That's so cute!"

"You don't need to do that, Yuki," Mayuyu said, blushing.

"Hey, you can call me Yukirin." She leaned even closer. "Only cute people can call me Yukirin," She whispered. Mayuyu blushed even more.

"So... Yukirin... Can you stop doing that?"

"Doing what? Oh! Is that grape syrup?" Yuki asked smelling a purple spot on Mayuyu's cheek. "Yes, it is!" Then, she licked the dry syrup on the other girl face. Mayuyu shivered. She wasn't used to these kind of things.

"This!" She turned to face to Yuki and their noses met. Their lips were just few inches apart. Yuki was considering a lot of things in her mind when the maid arrived with her cart full of waffles and refills of syrup. They turned their faces towards the table, trying not to show how affected they were by that aw

kward position.

And then, the five started to eat again. For every waffle Mariko, Mayuyu, or Yuki ate, Minami and Kuu ate three. Again, the silent battle between Kuu and Minami for the bottle of honey began. Each time Kuu reached the bottle, Minami was placing it at her side of the table, and vice versa. But there was one time that when Minami touched the bottle, she felt a different hand. It was a slim and thin hand. Minami looked up the owner of the hand: Mariko.

"I want to use that!" Minami said.

"I want to, too. And my hand reached the bottle first. I'll only be a minute. Be patient," Mariko said raising the hand which held the bottle of honey.

"No! Knowing how evil you are, you might use all of the honey!" Minami replied, trying to reach Mariko's hand.

"Don't be stupid! I'm not a glutton like you!" Mariko was making things difficult for Minami. Miichan leaned over Mariko, shortening the distance between them.

"Old woman! Please! Gimme the honey!" They were so close now, that they could feel each other's breathing. Mariko was teasing Minami with her eyes.

"It's so good to see that you two are getting along so well!" said female a voice behind Minami and Mariko. The two turned their heads before quickly returning to their normal position.

"Kayo-chan!" Mariko was startled. In front of them was couple hosting the weekend.

"Yuuhi!" Minami couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Going nuts about honey? That's so like you!" Yuuhi said, laughing. "Mariko, don't mind this girl; she's just a kid." He said, patting Minami's head.

"I'm not a kid! I have a job! Did you know that?!" Minami replied, a bit upset.

"Good for you, Minami!" He said, smiling.

"Here is your honey, Minegishi-san," Mariko said while giving Minami the bottle, pretending to be nice.

"Thank you, Shinoda-san!" Minami took the bottle and served herself. They looked as if they wanted to tear each other's throats apart.

"By the way, I wanted to introduce the boys to Kayo-chan. I can see Kuu is here, but where are the other two?" Yuuhi asked, changing the subject.

"Kuu don't know where Riku and Kai are. We came here before they decided what they wanted to do." Kuu answered after swallowing a big piece of waffle.

"Ok, Kuu. This is my wife, Kayo. Darling, this Kuu from Persona." Yuuhi introduced the two to each other.

"Kuu~su! Osu!" This was his signature greeting. He smiled at the woman.

"I'm Kayo. Nice to meet you." She bowed her head in a respectful way.

"Well, we'll meet the others later at the party," Yuuhi said. Then he noticed something. "Oh! Otou-san is sleeping here! Please, don't mind it when he starts snoring. Excuse us," He said with a smile. And then, the couple was gone again. The five looked each other, wondering why that would matter.

For the third time, they asked for more waffles. Luckily, the maid brought a refill for the honey. With the bottle filled, there were no worries of it running out, and the battle started again. Mayuyu, Yuki, and Mariko were amazed by the amount of food the two could still eat. In this third round, the three girls just eat two waffles each. But Kuu and Minami were still going at full speed.

The competition reached the climax when both of them grabbed the bottle at the same time. They looked like they wanted to kill each other. Yuuhi's father snored a bit loudly behind them. Kuu and Minami both tightened their grip. They stood up, struggling for the possession of the honey.

"I grabbed it first!" Kuu said.

"I grabbed it first!" Minami said. 'It was a draw." Yuki, Mariko, and Mayuyu thought, watching the scene in amusement.

The two kept arguing back and forth, their responses shooting faster towards each other. They tightened even more grip on the bottle. Then, they heard a 'pop' and the bottle's cover went flying across the veranda together with its sticky content. The cover hit the floor with a tiny noise, but the honey was spread all over Yuuhi's father's left leg. He snored louder again. Kuu and Minami froze. Mariko, Mayuyu, and Yuki's eyes went wide. They just stood there, speechless.

After a few seconds, Mayuyu asked, "What you guys are going to do now?"

Minami looked at her friend, and then at the man's leg. A grim look appeared on her face. She looked at Kuu and he seemed to understand the girl. They placed the bottle on the table, forgetting the competition. Kuu licked his finger which had honey spilled on it.

"What?" Mariko asked. She either didn't understand or didn't want to understand.

"Does someone have a handkerchief?" Minami asked out of nowhere.

"Here." Kuu put his clean hand in his pocket and handed Minami his handkerchief.

"This is going to be funny, but I think it's better if we stay away," Mayuyu said to Yuki. Yuki grabbed Mayuyu's hand. 'It's going to be funny just for you, but maybe not for those two…' Yuki thought.

Mariko settled in her chair. Minami and Kuu approached the sleeping man. The girl unfolded the handkerchief. Then, she carefully placed it on the man's leg and waited the honey be absorbed the cloth. The man muttered something. Kuu and Minami looked at each other and silently counted to three. Each one gripped one end of the handkerchief and pulled at once. The honey on the leg stuck his leg hair, so when they pulled the handkerchief, the hairs were plucked.

"MINAMI!" The man woke up in a mixture of pain, fright, and anger. He stood up in one movement with an indescribable expression. Minami and Kuu ran away, laughing loudly. Mariko gave a tiny smile. She had to admit that it was a bit funny. Yuki's eyes widened. She tightened her grip on Mayuyu's hand, but when she saw the girl laughing, she lowered her head and laughed covertly. The man, still confused, ran after Minami and Kuu.

Meanwhile, Kai's group headed to the beach. They saw as Yuko dragged Riku past them. It was a rather funny scene. Riku wore a desperate expression. Moments later, Haruna, Sayaka, and Sae reached the group. They greeted each other and laughed, talking about Yuko's earlier behavior. Then, the three went ahead, and Kai's group turned to the west. They walked alongside the seashore.

They talked about their likes and dislikes, the weather, and tons of other things. Everyone talked, even Rena, who was the shyest in the group. Atsuko noticed Takamina's height was almost the same as Kai's, maybe one or two centimeters shorter. She smiled at that thought. Jurina was constantly looking at the shells on the shore and showing them to Rena.

"Rena! Look!" Jurina ran happily towards the girl, holding something. "It's a heart-shaped twin shell! Isn't it cute?" Rena agreed, smiling. Jurina was holding a light pink heart-shaped bivalve shell with random brown streaks. It was probably only two centimeters long. Jurina put the shell in her pocket and kept walking.

"Hey, Kai!" the boy looked up at Atsuko. "How tall are you?" he was puzzled by the question.

"I'm exactly one meter and a half tall. Why?" Atsuko smiled. "What? Don't tell me I'm short for a boy, because I know I am!" He said, blushing.

"It's nothing. I think it's cute! I was just wondering if you and Takamina were about the same height," Acchan explained.

"What?!" Takamina looked at Kai. She hadn't realized that she was just bit shorter than the idol. "I'm one meter, forty-eight and a half centimeters…" she mumbled. Then, she blushed.

"Don't worry, Takamina. I think it's really lovely," Atsuko said, hugging the short girl from behind. The girl blushed even more. She was silently thankful that it was a short hug.

They noticed that the beach was really private. The more they walked away from the house, more it was becoming a wildness area. There was a field with dense undergrowth and spaced out trees. Soon, they reached the rocks that they saw not so far away from the house. Takamina and Jurina happily ran to the rocks. Kai wanted to run, too, but he thought that as the guy, he had to keep his composure. Atsuko and Rena watched the exited girls with a smile.

The five climbed the rocks and found a wonderful view. Not far from the sea was a wall of coral. That might be a great diving spot. Acorn shaped barnacles grew through the rocks to where the waves could constantly pass over them. Small sea animals ran from one side to another, hiding under tiny holes. Clouds could also be seen in the sky. They crossed over the rocks, and after climbing down to the other side, Jurina saw a cave.

"A cave! Let's explore it!" Jurina shouted. She climbed down faster and stopped in front of the cave entrance. A short way in could be seen, but it turned to the right at the end. After a few moments, the others were beside her.

"Come on! I don't think there might be a dangerous animal inside." Kai said, walking in. The girls couldn't help but follow.

Rena grabbed Jurina's arm. She was a bit afraid of dark places like that. Atsuko walked closer to Takamina. It's not that she was afraid; she just wanted to have someone to grab if something were to happen. After the right corner, the path sloped downwards and the floor started to get bit wet, as well as the walls. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived in a large cavern, with a lake and walls full of minerals that sparked with the light that shone through the lake. The sunlight was entering through an opening that they couldn't see. It was an astonishing view.

Outside, a heavy cloud covered the sun. Inside, the hidden room went black. Kai was still too surprised to react. Rena grabbed Jurina from the front. So did Atsuko with Takamina. Jurina's heart was beating fast. She didn't think. They were almost the same height, but Rena was bit taller. It wasn't hard for Jurina to find Rena's lips. An electrifying sensation caressed her body as she gently hugged the girl. Rena was startled by the sudden kiss. Her mind went all blank. Her heart skipped faster than she could ever have thought it could. She completely relaxed. What could that sensation could be?

Atsuko held Takamina so tight that the shorter girl could barely breathe. Acchan was much taller than Takamina. After a few seconds of struggling, the shorter girl was able to make the taller girl loosen her grip. Now, she could think about the situation she was in. First thing she noticed was that her head was between two soft spots. She found that they was smooth and soft. It was a nice feeling. Was that the reason Yuko liked this so much? A shiver went down her spine. Her head was between Acchan's breathes! She froze. Atsuko felt the urge to squeeze the girl in her arms. She just wanted to steal the girl away and turn her into a pillow so that she could hug her every day.

The cloud covered the sun for a few seconds, but to the girls, it seemed like forever. As soon as the light returned to the room, Rena turned purple and ran out of the cave. Atsuko released Takamina, but the girl didn't seem to be awake, despite the fact her eyes were wide open. Jurina ran after Rena. Kai walked out calmly. Atsuko grabbed Takamina by her arm and dragged her out. Jurina found Rena quietly sitting on a rock, looking at the sea. She felt bit guilty about the kiss. How would the other girl act towards her after that? Not long after, the other three joined the two girls, and they walked back to the house. It was a silent journey.

After what seemed a long walk, they arrived to where Riku's group was. Riku was sleeping on the mat. Haruna was sunbathing, lying on her stomach. Yuko was buried in the sand with a stupid expression on her face. Sae was looking at the sea, not blinking. Sayaka was swimming, but it looked like she was finishing her exercise. The group decided to head back to their respective rooms to rest. They were next the house when Kai felt a wicked shiver on his body. He stopped to rub his arms.

"Are you okay?" Atsuko asked. The boy had seemed fine during their walk.

"Yeah! This just happens when…" Kai stopped. Was it true? No way!

"Kaaaaaiiiiiiii!" shouted a tall woman in white with long silkly black hair as she jumped onto the shortest member of Persona.
