Pretty 98: Team Tengu Tohno

Summer could be pretty brutal and it made no exceptions. At one point, the heat will get to even the most heat-loving person and shinobi maidens were no exception, either.

Today, on this hot day with not a single cloud in the sky and the sun bearing down upon the people, regular folk and shinobi alike, Team Tengu Tohno were feeling the heat.

At the home of Yuyaki, the precious and uber-timid yet strong and determined, perfect leader of her team, her family, the heat was such that even the more ruckus and chaos-prone members, the Tanuki and the Kitsune, Misato and Kumi, were just being utterly lazy and unproductive, the two Senrans in eternal conflict now just sitting on their tummies on the lukewarm tatami mats of Yuyaki's household, their faces an inch away from a regular-size electric fan in the middle of the living room.

"Yuuu...chaaaan...it's so hooot...!" Yuyaki's heart broke for her poor, dearest, sweet and bovine-like best friend, even better girlfriend, Ushimaru, as the soft and laid-back girl rested in Yuyaki's lap, her soft, silky pale-orange locks tickling and yet making Yuyaki's caramel thighs a bit itchy and uncomfortable.

"Oh U-chan...hang on, Ok? Let me go to the kitchen. I'll...get you some cold milk...Ok?" The snow-haired sweetie replied and Ushimaru nodded and then, slowly moved off of Yuyaki's lap to move to a nearby cushion in range of the fan Misato and Kumi were hogging to themselves.

Yuyaki began to stand up, and then she stopped when she heard the wheels of a car and a car's engine stopping outside of her property.

Then, there was the sound of elegant high-heeled sandals approaching, and then the front door opened and some more hot air flooded the room.

"Ara ara, oh my goodness, everyone! What's wrong here? You're all beat by the heat? Oh my!" Came the sweet, mature and motherly voice of the one and only, the Mayor of the Tohno Village, Nachi as she walked into the living room and the girls turned to look at their eldest member.

"Nachi...onee-chaaaan...it's so hooot..." Ushimaru moaned in dismay while Kumi and Misato barely managed to wave back at the cerulean-haired older girl.

"Nachi-san, it's just...the heat...it's not even lunch time and it's already ** degrees in the shade...also...what's in that bag?" Yuyaki pointed out as she walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room with a nice, soothingly cold bottle of milk for her beloved bovine-like best friend.

The cerulean-haired Senran gave a soft, elegant giggle, hiding it with her free hand over her mouth, and the assembled ladies could swear there was a twinkle in her closed eyes. How that was possible was beyond them.

"Ara, well, ladies, I just went shopping, thaaaat's all~!" She raised her hand holding the bag and Misato pointed out, a big sweat drop forming at the side of her head.

"Nachi-san...uh...the store's logo printed on that bag...that's...that's from up-town, isn't it? Like...people with a lot of disposable income go there..." She tried the gentler approach.

Then Kumi added…

"Nachi, only richers go to that kind of store! What gives? What did you buy?" Misato groaned and faced the fan again. Yuyaki and Ushimaru sweatdropped, yet the bovine-like girl was mostly busier with consuming her wonderful, cold calcium, smiling sweetly at Yuyaki after she was done emptying the bottle of milk.

"Well, first off, have a little tact, Misato-san, Kumi-san~ Second, I just decided that we all earned ourselves a little treat, something nice for all our hard training these past couple of weeks both here and at Tohno Village. We worked extra-hard to get Yasha-san and Yuyaki-san dearest to get back their symbiotic harmony! So, I cleared out my schedule..." Nachi explained, then she walked towards the coffee table in the middle of the room to place down on it the contents of the higher-end store's bag she had with her.

"To treat the whole~team to a day at the beach, and not a single lady in my family will be caught under-dressed in my presence, fufu~!" Nachi proclaimed and her team quickly moved to the coffee table to gather up and look at the absolutely exquisite beachwear Nachi had taken out of the bag.

"Whoooaaah...!"

"...wow that's a lotta bling!"

"S-Shiny...!"

"Aweeesome, Nachi-onee-chaaaan~!"

Even Yasha had to add for her and Yuyaki alone... "Wow, talk about ostentatious…"

And indeed, Nachi had bought with money of her own pocket a full set of beautiful, needlessly-ostentatious, solid gold two-piece bikinis with a dash of glitter.

"Go ahead, ladies~! They're all yours! It's my gift to you. Try them on and then, we'll be on our way! Don't worry about food, by the way!" Nachi said and then, added, and she immediately felt just a dash of apprehension from Misato and Kumi in particular.

"...Mou, Kumi-san, Misato-san! I've taken Yuyaki-san and Ushimaru-san's lessons to heart! I'll make us lunch and snacks for later and you will~like them!" She said with her natural clsoed eyes and smile...yet the brunette and blonde team members couldn't help but bow their heads and utter "Ok".

"Fantastic~!" Nachi clapped her hands together and Ushimaru and Yuyaki shared a giggle and gave each other's hands a squeeze.

Roughly an hour and a half and a relatively quiet limo drive later saw Team Tengu Tohno stepping onto the pristine white sands of the nearest beach-side town with their cute feet protected from the hot sand by solid-gold sandals, and of course, the moment that the five Senran ladies appeared, a lot of eyes became focused on them.

And needless to say, a great deal of that attention that the ladies garnered was from the male population on the beach, but some other fair ladies looked their way too.

Yuyaki gulped and she stepped closer to a serenely-smiling Nachi, hugging her arm tightly to her huge caramel and gold-wrapped bosom, while Ushimaru just sauntered next to Nachi, her hand holding hers in a manner reminiscent of a child and her mother.

Meanwhile, just a step behind them, Misato was trying slightly to cover up, while Kumi had no sense of shame and she gave her hips an added flare with her every step and she even grinned wide and winked playfully to a group of boys as she gave a slightly over-exaggerated stretch.

"Whoa damn...!"

"Oh wow, oh damn, bruh, check'em out!"

"I know. I know! Golden goddesses, man!"

"That's it, I'm losing my virginity today! Dibs on the girl with the udders!"

"Caramel! The one with caramel skin is mine!"

"You bunch'a losers! Foxy! Damn that blonde is foxy! I'm takin'er!"

"You ape! The tanuki-like one! She's the best!"

"You uncultured swine! The Ojou-sama with the blue hair! She's gotta be loaded! We'll~marry her and we'll be set for life!"

"Nice one, sis~!"

"Geeez...I feel like I'm some kind of trophy..." Misato mumbled and she groaned slightly as Kumi gave their "adoring fans" a wink, wave and smile and then hugged Misato around the waist.

To be completely fair, the five girls looked beyond stunning in their mildly ostentatious swimwear, with Nachi and Ushimaru matching with opaque white bikini cups that had golden sarong-like cloths wrapping around and over them and bottoms with white frills on the upper edge and waistband. Meanwhile, Misato and Kumi wore matching cleavage-displaying bikini tops with frills on the inner edges of the cups and black frills on the bottoms.

Meanwhile, Yuyaki wore a much more minimalist bikini with black spaghetti straps that looped around her neck and back and the bottoms were more of a thong than anything else, so she was showing a lot of butt.

Regardless of their fanboys and fangirls' gushing, the ladies knew that none of them would approach. Kumi hugging Misato by the waist and Yuyaki and Ushimaru sticking so close to Nachi clearly send the message that they were not to be messed with for plenty of reasons.

"Haaaah~! Yu-chaaaan, Nachi-onee-chaaaan, let's plaaaay!" Ushimaru was eager to go step into the ocean but a firm from Nachi's hand on her wrist brought her attention back to her elder.

"Ushimaru-san, Yuyaki-san, not yet! Protection first~!" Nachi instructed and brought out of their bags a bottle of sunscreen.

"Yeah, no sunburns here, girls! Don't worry. The day is still young~!" Kumi added and she had Misato a whole blushing mess as the foxy girl now straddled her gold-clad bottom.

"H-Hey! Get off, get off, Kumi-san! What gives?! I can get the sunscreen on myself, you brute!" Misato protested, but she froze and a shudder went through her when suddenly Kumi leaned forward and pressed her soft upper body flush up against Misato's back and the blonde then whispered something in Misato's ear...and that got the flustered tanuki to simmer down.

"Ara~" Nachi said softly and Yuyaki blushed and she laid down on her front, inviting Nachi to approach her first.

Ushimaru giggled and plopped back down on her and Yuyaki's big towel, which could actually fit three people on it, on her side awaiting her turn, reaching her hand out to gently take Yuyaki's, getting a smile from the snow-haired caramel cutie.

"Ok, Yuyaki-san, let Nachi-onee-chan do alll~the work~" Nachi cooed and her younger "sisters" giggled.

By the time Nachi was done applying the protective lotion on her team leader and sweet bovine-like "little sister" (paying perhaps a dash too much attention to the sensational "udders" of Ushimaru), the ladies would notice the strange quietness of Kumi and Misato, and so they turned to look at them and they blushed quite heavily as they saw Misato shyly yet steadily applying the sunscreen lotion on Kumi...by means of her own abundant bikini-bound bosom, the brunette straddling Kumi's thighs and pressing her breasts firmly against Kumi's torso, getting some gentle caresses to her head, hair and shoulders and some sweet, oh so soft coos from the Kitsune Senran.

"Nooot a word, girls~" Kumi winked at her dumbfounded, blushing teammates.

"...pretty sure that's shamelessly erotic, even for yoma standards. Sheesh." Yasha took the opportunity to comment and Yuyaki had to agree.

Regardless of the mild, tenderly erotic way in which Misato spread the sunscreen on Kumi to protect her perfect skin from the evil, hot sun's rays, a hotly-blushing Misato and happily-smiling Kumi took each other's hands after they were finished and headed for the shore, with Yuyaki, Ushimaru and Nachi following close behind.

"Ahhhh, it's sooo coooold~!"

"Ohhh I'm reborn!"

"Kumi-san, sheesh, always exaggerating."

"Don't whine, Misato. You needed this too~!"

"Come, U-chan! Let's...dive a bit...~!"

"Yeah, Yu-chaaaan! Lead the waaay~!"

"Ara, you four, caldm down a bit, ufufu~"

It was a grand time of frolicking in the waves. Kumi and Misato had a...rather heated and competitive splash war (with Misato firmly banning the use of Kumi's nine kitsune tails, because that was just unfair on so many levels...plus a look from Nachi told Misato to play fair and not use her mastery of the wind), while Yuyaki and Ushimaru took to slightly further into the water to dive and swim below the waves holding each other's hand, while Nachi sat back till the water touched her bountiful bikini bosom, sighing with bliss as the cold water enveloped her, keeping an eye on her team's water activities like the good elder and "Onee-chan" that she was.

Eventually though, the frolicking in the waves like water Senran nymphs had to stop when the need for munchies became slightly overwhelming.

So, Team Tengu Tohno gathered around on their towels and Nachi brought out of a big duffel bag a full set of fancy (and very expensive-looking) bamboo trays upon which sat a wide array of admittedly mouth-watering foods far more elaborate than just the more regular foods one would expect on a picnic basket.

"Ok...wow...this does look legit delicious...!" Kumi said and everyone else nodded, with Nachi giving an elegant giggle and pointing out with a raised index finger.

"Yuyaki-san and Ushimaru-san's lessons were very, very thorough, I'll have you know! I stayed up till a very inappropriate hour studying a dozen tutorials and it also took me many tries to get this meal right~! So, please, help yourselves!"

Thus, Team Tengu Tohno put their hands together and said "Itadakimasu~!" to get started and finally fill their empty tummies, and shortly after beginning to eat, the ladies looked at each other and smiled and Nachi felt her heart swell with pride and joy when she saw the happy looks on her team and family's faces.

Nachi was brought out of her happy high by a bashful-looking Yuyaki holding between her chopsticks a piece of beef with rice and egg on it, and her heart melted.

"N-Nachi-san...s-say aaahh?" She said preciously and Nachi blushed softly and nodded, brushing some of her cerulean locks behind her ear to lean forward and say "Aaahnn~" before taking the offered food into her mouth, happily munching and humming with delight.

"Thanks, Yuyaki-san, here, you~have some of this," she offered in return, presenting to her precious, beloved team leader a piece of cheese-filled hamburger, and the precious snow-haired caramel cutie's face became two shades of brown darker with a blush as she leaned in and opened up for her comrade's offer.

"A-Ahhhn...mmm...mmhmm, delicious~!" She replied and she then giggled when a pouty Ushimaru gently tugged on the waistband of her bikini bottoms.

"Me tooo, Yu-chaaaan~! Aaahhn!" She presented her soft, flawless face to her beloved best friend, which earned her a well-deserved piece of Yuyaki's food.

"D'awwwwwwww, you two are so cute~!" Nachi cupped her cheek with her hand, enjoying the display.

"S-Sheesh...Yuyaki-san, Ushimaru-san, Nachi-san, have some decorum...we're in public!" Misato tried to be the voice of reason...yet what else she would have said was cut short by Kumi, who leaned against Misato's side and put a piece of rice and sausage with sauce on it in the tanuki's mouth, getting her an embarrassed look and hot blush from her.

Kumi gave a cheeky smile and then licked a bit of rice off of Misato's cheek, dangerously close to the corner of her mouth, and she even licked her lips after she pulled away.

"Delish~" She cooed and Misato's face went alight with a bright, hot blush.

"Y-Y-You dumbass, Kumi-san..." The poor brunette couldn't help but pout and continue eating her meal.

A short while later, Team Tengu Tohno had settled down from their fulfilling lunch and it was once again time to play to burn off those calories...well, kind of.

Kumi and Misato spotted a couple of girls, apparently sisters, one with beautiful, long ginger tresses and the other with short purple locks held in place by a black bandanna with a violet attached to it, playing a one-on-one game of beach volleyball. The Kitsune and Tanuki decided to walk up to them, introduce themselves and offer a friendly match.

Meanwhile, Yuyaki and Ushimaru opted for a calmer approach, deciding to take a walk on the beach, the water gently lapping at their feet, and Ushimaru's attention was drawn to the little sea shells that dotted the shore, her hand never once leaving Yuyaki's as they walked.

Nachi, for her part, decided to keep guard over their beach materials, so she stayed at their spot and took a little nap under their big purple umbrella.

A while after saw the temperature slowly yet steadily beginning to lower. The heat was dying down at last and the sun wouldn't be up for much longer. It was very unfortunate, but Team Tengu Tohno's day of beach fun was slowly coming to its end.

"Mou, Kumi-san, did you really have to slap Kasumi-san's butt when you congratulated her on a good match?" Misato deadpanned as she and Kumi returned to their spot on the beach.

"What? It was a damn good match! It got my heart pumpin'! I had to let'er know it was awesome somehow~!" The foxy girl retorted.

Misato facepalmed.

"Yeah, and Ayane-san immediately looked like she wanted to end you for it." She pointed out.

"Awww, but Kasumi-chan's little squeal was golden~!" Kumi laughed and they came upon Nachi with Yuyaki and Ushimaru resting their heads on her lap.

"Easy, you two, play nice now~" Nachi gave a good-natured warning and Misato and Kumi quickly stopped their banter to see the serenity on Yuyaki and Ushimaru's faces as they rested on the soft thighs of their beloved elder.

"Haaaah...today was awesoooome, Nachi-onee-chan~" Ushimaru cooed happily and Yuyaki gently caressed her bovine-like best friend's cheek with her warm, soft fingers.

"Yes, Nachi-san...thank you...for today. It was so much fun...we earned this little break~" Yuyaki agreed and she moaned softly as she was urged gently by Nachi to leave her lap and stand up, with Ushimaru smiling as she tugged her elder towards the shore.

"Nachi-onee-chaaaan, looook! The sky...is soooo prettyyy!" She pointed towards the sky being painted a pretty orange and pink as the sun began to approach the sea's horizon.

"Indeed, Ushimaru-san. It's so beautiful, ufufu...neeearly as you, though~" Nachi cooed sweetly and she kept an arm wrapped snug around Yuyaki's waist as well as Ushimaru's as the cerulean-haired older girl leaned in, Ushimaru quickly and eagerly presenting her flawless, soft face to Nachi.

"...Whoa...I never...get tired of this..." Yuyaki whispered in awe as she saw her best friend and elder girlfriend share a sweet, soft, gentle kiss that lingered on their lips after it was over, and Nachi was then the one presenting her beautiful face to Yuyaki, the team leader nodding and tenderly hugging Nachi around the waist to lean in and press their lips together in a sweet, gentle, unhurried kiss of their own, under the approving and happy gaze of Ushimaru.

"Hehe, may as well. Misato, c'mere, babe~" Kumi's lips kissed the earlobe of Misato as the girl squeaked softly upon getting hugged from behind by Kumi, and before she could protest, the foxy girl was kissing the tanuki gently, sweetly, nice and leisurely, giving Misato plenty of room to pull away if she didn't feel affectionate.

Of course, that was a sweet gesture yet Misato wouldn't dare turn her down now. Not now. Now was Ok.

The brunette relaxed and she reassuringly squeezed Kumi's forearms as the blonde wrapped her arms around her comrade and girlfriend, Misato shyly kissing back.

And when Nachi and Yuyaki were done kissing, the tanned girl gave a mouse-like squeak as Nachi patted her on the thong-clad caramel butt and glanced at a thirsty-looking Ushimaru, who was pouting, an index finger on her bottom lip.

"Yu-chaaaan~! Kiiiiss!" The precious bovine-like cutie cooed and she gave her hips a wiggle when Nachi gently caressed her own bikini-clad butt to get her to step forth.

"O-Of course, U-chan! Of course..." Yuyaki reached out with her hands to tenderly cup Ushimaru's cheek and hip, giving there a soft squeeze before leaning in to share a kiss with her beloved best friend right in front of a blushing and tenderly smiling Nachi.

When the kissing Senrans finally managed to pull their lips away from each other, they noticed that the sun had fully touched down and the moon was beginning to tag in.

"Awwww...the day is oveeer...~" Ushimaru spoke first. Kumi giggled and stepped up to gently ruffle the bovine-like girl's hair.

"Don't worry, Ushimaru. I checked my phone earlier, looked at the weather forecast. The heat will come down a bit these next few days, hehe~" Kumi informed her, much to the relief of all involved.

"Yaaay...I get to snuggle with Yu-chan and Nachi-onee-chan moooore~!" Ushimaru cheered softly and her team giggled.

And afterwards, Nachi beckoned her darling teammates to follow her back to the beach's parking lot, having called her driver to come pick them up accordingly. Team Tengu Tohno cast a look up at the beautiful, star-spangled sky. They smiled and shared a soft, quick kiss with their respective significant others.

A well-earned rest, indeed.

"Still...so ostentatious!" Yasha couldn't help but add.
