Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

A Day in the Rain - August 18
"So, how did your time in the beach go?" Ren asked sitting in Nami's room again, drinking a First Love Juice on the couch. Shio sat beside him, kicking her feet around as she dined on Aragami parts from Nami's storage supply that she put in a bowl for her. Nami at the moment was only in a Urban Tank Top and Militar Sweats as she looked for a change of clothes.
"It was good." Nami said trying to hide her blush as she look through her dresser.
"Nami, you're turning red again. Is everything okay?" Shio asked between chewing.
"Everything thing's fine, we're all fine." Nami said in a panic as her search through her dresser became more frantic.
"Are you sure? Sounds to me like something happened at the beach." Ren teased, raising an eyebrow as he leaned toward Nami's direction. He grinned wider when he saw the flustered look on Nami's face. "Did something happen between you and Soma?"
"Wha? No. No, no, no, no. Nothing happen. We just had a good time at the beach." Nami then thought of something that had been bugging her and would work as a great change of topic. "Hey, how come you guys didn't want to come along?"
"I don't do bathing suits." Ren simply answered.
"Sea water taste yucky." Shio stated, sticking her tongue out in disgust. "And it feels funny on my skin."
"Maybe the beach isn't for you." Nami said as she rubbed her chin in thought. "Perhaps you guys would like it better when we go on that camping trip?"
"Out in the woods, camping by the fireside. Sounds like fun." Ren said. "Just make sure you bring lots of First Love Juice."
"Yay! We'll get to sleep under the stars!" Shio cheered.
"So you guys are coming to that. Great!" Then Nami finally found what she was looking for. "Hey! There it is!"
"What is that?" Ren asked as she pulled out the strange costume.
"My Dengeki PS outfit." Nami cheered as she showed it off. "I made it from the parts of that Quadriga New-Type, Poseidon. The yellow lining brings out my eyes."
"Uh... that's nice." Ren said with a little reluctance." But... isn't it a little bit... form fitting? It's almost like spandex."
"Wha? There's nothing wrong with it." Nami said in defense.
"Wrong with it?" Shio questioned.
"Exactly!" Nami said, pointing toward Shio. "Thanks for having my back Shio. Look, it covers everything! The only thing exposed in this is my head."
"Yeah, but it leaves little to the imagination with everything else." Ren mumbled and turned away from Nami, resting his head on his hand as his arm rested on the couch's arm.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." Just as Ren said that, Soma walked into Nami's room.
"Hey, Nami, get up. We got a mis-"
"Hi Soma!" Shio said cheerfully, waving at Soma with her bowl in the other hand. Panicking Nami hid behind her dresser with a squeak, only exposing from her head to her shoulder. She was still a little shy after the beach incident about exposing so much skin to Soma around people.
"Ah, Soma! Get out of here!"
"What are you being so shy for? We've already seen enough of each other at the beach to be pass that phase." Soma teased with a lecherous grin.
"Ahh, so something did happen at the beach." Ren said looking back at Nami like a Cheshire cat.
"Nothing happen Ren, and shut up Soma!"
"Ren's in here?" Soma said, looking around the room.
"Yeah, he's hanging out with me!" Shio cheered.
"You can see him?" Soma questioned in disbelief.
"Of course! I can see your God Arc's soul too, everybodies in fact!" Shio giggled as she took another Aragami part from her bowl. "We're going to go camping with you guys next time you go on vacation."
"Isn't that nice, Soma?" Nami cheered with excitement about their next vacation.
"Yeah, sounds like a blast."
"Good, now if all of you don't mind. Will you boys leave so I can change."
"Can I stay?"
"Yes you can stay, Shio." Then she pointed at the boys. "But you guys gotta go."
"Aw, I was looking forward to a show." Soma mocked with clouding eyes.
"Get out already!" Nami's yelling got Shika riled up and came to her master's aid. Barking at Soma, she pushed him back to the door. While Ren willingly walked out the door.
"Alright, alright, I'm going. We've gotta mission in the Wailing Plains. I'm heading out now, meet the team there once you're done by an hour." Soma said as he was backed out of the door. "I thought we were cool, Shika?"
Shika whimper at him and cuddled up to his leg once he was out of the room as if to say sorry. Accepting her apology, Soma bent down to pet her head before she walked back into the room.
*** Wailing Plains ***
The rain was pouring down on the team, soaking the plains with its cool droplets. Alisa and Lindow waited along with Soma for Nami to finally show up. The rain was soothing to Soma, it reminded him of a special time. A time he was stranded alone with Nami in a rundown shed. He could practically smell her scent of lilies, the scent of burning wood, and heated Soy beans as the rain drizzled down.
"This is unprofessional, is she here yet?" Alisa asked, breaking the silence.
"Hey, it's early. Maybe she had a hard time waking up." Lindow said, trying to defend Nami.
"No, she was awake when I saw her, she was changing." Soma answered.
"Which only took me 20 minutes." Came the voice of Nami from behind them. "Sorry for the wait. All the Choppers were gone so I had to walk here."
"Forgivable, since you made it by the designated time." Alisa said as they all turned to face her. "Cute outfit."
"Whoa, interesting look." Lindow commented. "But isn't it a little cold and wet to be wearing that?"
"It's naturally insulated." Nami said giving them a twirl to see the whole thing. "And it's perfect for seeing me in the dark since it's foggy."
"Yeah, and other things." Soma quietly mumbled with fogging eyes. He felt a tingling sensation as he admired how the suit stuck to her figure like second skin.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." Soma said looking away from Nami as she asked him with those questioning eyes.
"Okay, let's go." Lindow said, interrupting Soma from his corrupting thoughts. "Nami's here, so let's get this mission done with."
"Alright, let's go!" Alisa cheered, jumping off the Starting Point along with Lindow. Leaving Soma and Nami alone on the Starting Point.
"Go." Soma said, making way for Nami to go first.
"Oh what a gentleman." Nami said, going ahead of him and jumping off the Starting Point.
"Oh I am far from being a gentleman." Soma said aloud as he admired Nami's backside figure as she jumped down. Her outfit gave him a good view of her ass, which was pleasing to the eyes. She was unconsciously trying to tempt him, and it was making him go mad. But two could play at that game, he'd get her back. He would get her back hard for this.
"Alright, Sekhmets! My kind of Aragami." Nami cheered as they ran along the Wailing Plains and encountered two Sekhmets. When it came to fire Aragami, Nami's ice always won. "Let's give it our best shot."
Using the Sekhmet she was attacking as a shield, Nami blocked the other Sekhmets attacks. She was breaking through the armor like butter. But the other Sekhmet flew and tackled her while she was going after the down one.
"Yah!" Nami cried out as she hit the floor. Getting up, she went to finish the one that was almost finished. "Come on."
The Sekhmet did a lot of damage with that attack, her defenses weren't exactly up at the moment. That's when the she noticed that others had taken some heavy damage along the way too.
"Everyone, gather around!" Nami called out as she dropped a Recovery Wall. They all ran into it, regaining their health.
"Nami, here!" "Here you go!" Alisa and Lindow said as they gave her Team bullets.
"Ooh!" As she experience the boost she finished off her Sekhmet and devoured the core she went after the other Sekhmet. But before she could do anything it charged at Soma, making him dizzy.
"Ugh, you jerk!" Soma hissed, holding onto his head as he waited for spinning to stop.
"Soma!" Nami cried out in concern as she knocked down the Sekhmet that was going in for a smack while he was dizzy. Grabbing his hand she gave him a Recovery Ball. "Here you go."
"Thanks." Soma said, looking into her eyes before getting back into the battle.
They went after the Sekhmet, taking out its armor. But before they could finish it off a Fallen Chi-You flew into play. Giving the Sekhmet a chance to run away and lick its wounds.
"Oh no you don't, Okubyomono." Nami said, running after it. "You guys are okay here, right?"
"We're fine, just finish it off." Alisa assured her as she fired at the Fallen Chi-You.
Running after the Sekmet she noticed that the other Fallen Chi-You was running away too. However, not seeing her it continued to run further than the Sekhmet ran. Closing in on the Sekmet, Nami knocked it down to its knees and went to finish it off. But the Fallen Chi-You the others were working on followed after her, interrupting her. The others may have been able to see her due to her outfit, but the Aragami could see her too.
"Sorry Nami, we got a runner." Lindow apologized, as they helped Nami finish off the Sekhmet.
"Removing obstacle!" Alisa shouted as the Sekhmet went down. Nami quickly went to extract the core before the Fallen Chi-You came after her.
"Let's keep pushing!" Nami said, yanking out her God Arc from the Sekhmet as she sliced at the Fallen Chi-You.
The others had been working on it so it went down easily before the other Fallen Chi-You caught sight of Nami's Dengeki PS outfit.
"Rotten piece of meat!" Soma growled at it. Taking a bite out of it with his God Arc; stopping the Fallen Chi-You from attacking Nami while she was distracted with extracting the dead Fallen Chi-You's core. Nami turned around when she heard the sound of its shriek, noticing what had just happened.
"Thanks..." Nami said to him with a smile and warm eyes. Soma's eyes slanted at her as the rain curled her bangs and drip down from her face. "?"
"Now's not the time." Soma said to her.
"What?"
"Get them, already!"
"Alright! Damn you're so confusing?" Nami said, going after the Fallen Chi-You.
Taking out its wing armor it went down faster, dying beside the other Fallen Chi-You. They all went to extract the core.
"Alright, Medic Check!" Nami said, examining everyone for injuries. "What? Just the guys?"
"Heh, I guess we were a little careless."
"No worries Lindow, yours are just minor scratches." She said, fixing him up with a recovery bullet before looking after Soma. "But Soma, you look terrible! Did you take a divine ball for someone or something?"
"I did, for you." Soma growled as he looked away from her with a blush.
"Aw, that's so sweet, thank you. But this is going to take more than a Recovery bullet." Nami said as she came at him with some Recovery Balls.
"We're heading back now." Lindow said as he and Alisa started to walk to the Starting Point. "Catch up when you guys are done."
"Kay, we won't be long." Nami called out to them as they faded into the fog. Getting back to Soma, she took care of all his wounds.
"There, you're all set." She said, giving him a smile. "Let's catch up with the others."
"Not yet." Soma said, grabbing her wrist as she was about to walk off.
"?" She turned her head around, tilting it in confusion. "Something wrong?"
"No, just getting even." He answered, thrusting his God Arc into the ground to stand upright.
"Wha?" Was all she could get out before he caught her by surprise by dragging her to the uplifted earth by the twister that acted like a wall. She dropped her God Arc in shock as she gently hit the wall. Soma sandwiched her front to the wall while he closed in from the back, blocking her escape with his arms. She turned her head to look at him from behind, blushing in embarrassment as her hands were pressed between the wall and her chests. "What are you doing?!"
"Getting back for all the cock teasing." Soma said back to her with clouded eyes. He grinned as her blush got wider.
"What cock teasing?! I didn't do anything!"
"You did, without even trying." Soma said, caressing her cheek before lifting her chin.
"!" He closed in for the kill, locking his lips with Nami's as he pressed closer to her. As she moaned from the friction, he stuck his tongue into her warm cavern. Exploring her mouth without resistance as she relaxed into the kiss. She began to melt into the kiss as his tongue worked circles around her and he looked down at her with those spring blue eyes. She could feel those slit irises looking into her soul, lighting the fire inside her. Soma grinned as she began to try and lean back into him. Cutting off abruptly, he backed away from her. Placing his hands back into his pants pocket as she looked back at him in confusion, out of breath. "Wha? Why'd you stop?"
"Hmph, that should do the trick." He went to pull out his God Arc from the ground and rested it on his shoulder.
"What? No. You have to finish what you started." She pleaded to him with shaky legs.
"Heh, now we're even." Soma grinned at her conceitedly, then he slowly started heading back to the others. "Don't wonder around here for long. Hurry up and catch up to the others."
Her legs turned into jello as she fell on her knees, catching herself with her hands as her body gently trembled beside her God Arc. She was hot and bothered with her chance of release walking away.
"Darn you, you son of a saint!"
"I don't think that counts as an insult, Sugar-lips." Soma said turning his head back to her, still grinning.
"It's not, I will not insult your parents for your own faults." She answered in an angry pout, reaching for her God Arc.
"Don't be upset." Soma said going back to her to pick her up princess style since her legs failed her and headed back to the Starting Point. "You had it coming with all your tempting."
"What tempting?! I didn't do anything!" She pouted in outrage. Crossing her arms under her chests, unconsciously emphasizing her tits as she held onto her God Arc.
"Oh you did do something." Soma said, looking down at her as the rain slid down her chest. "A lot of things..."
