And here you go! The next chapter of the first story of my new set: The SWA Series. Watch as these guys babble and blunder in this large onsen, filled with laughs, jokes, and even a little revenge. So let's get started. Whoo!
And away we go!!
Onsen Trip
Chapter 2
Crap!!
The onsen was one of the best you could ever stay at. The baths were relaxing, the food was the best tasting, the help was the kindest. What could be better?
How about ending up at the exact same onsen as the SWA! One group knows, the other group doesn't. But it's only a matter of time til the other group finds out, right? Maybe. The other problem is that a few guys know the girls like them. What can they do about that?
Why don't we find out...
"I'm hungry man!" Ikkaku roared. "Shut up! We're all hungry. But we have to wait until the women are gone." Renji grumbled. They were all gathered in Kenpachi, Ikkaku, and Yumichika's room. All were dressed in the onsen's robes.
"This is stupid! Why don't we just go to eat, and if they're there, say 'oh what a coincidence, you're here too' and all that?" Ikkaku asked.
"After hearing what we did in the baths I don't think I can even look at them right now." Izuru said. Shuhei nudged his ribs. "Hey, at least you know she likes you." He encouraged. "Yeah, but I'm too embarrassed to do anything about it. I mean, I think it might've been better to hear her say it to me, not gossip about it." Izuru said.
The others couldn't help but nod in agreement. It would've been easier, not to mention better, if they had told them to their face, not giggled it over a rock. Even though they had no idea they were there.
"Which is another thing, if they find out we were eavesdropping, we're dead." Yumichika said.
"So what're we supposed to do? Just sit here all night while they have the time of their lives?" Kenpachi asked. "Hell no! I'm not in you guys' positions, I don't need to hide out in here. I don't know about you, but I'm going to dinner." Ikkaku said and stormed out of the room.
"Hey, stop you idiot!" Ichigo shouted. Ikkaku slammed the door. "That moron! The women will be suspicious of us being here if they see him." Kyouraku said.
"Well, he had a point, he isn't in the same position as you guys, he doesn't really need to hide. Actually, I don't either." Yumichika said and thought for a minute.
"I think I'll go join Ikkaku." He said and jogged out of the room. Shuhei followed his example.
"Well this sucks." Ichigo grumbled. "It could be worse." Renji said. "How?" Hitsugaya asked.
"Uh..." "That's what I thought." Hitsugaya huffed. "Well we can't stay here all night and starve. We need to do something." Kyouraku said.
"Pardon me." A knock came to the door. Ichigo opened it. "The ladies of the SWA group have left the dining area. You're free to come now." The maiden said and left.
"Alright! Food!" Renji sighed happily.
They took a chance and went to dinner. Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Shuhei were already stuffing their faces. "Hey! You gotta try this ramen! It's the bomb!" Ikkaku muffled through his rice.
They sat down and maidens came it and gave them their food. Ikkaku and the other two finished first and moved on.
"Okay so what do we do tonight?" Kyouraku asked. "Try to avoid the women as much as possible." Izuru answered.
"We can't possibly do that all night. Can we?" Ichigo asked. "Hitsugaya, you're the genius, what should we do?" Kenpachi said. "First of all, I am not a genius, I am simply intelligent. Secondly, I am just as stumped as you." Hitsugaya said.
"What the hell are we gonna do?!" Renji said frantically.
Suddenly, Shuhei burst in, breathing heavily. "We were spotted by the women! They know we're here!" He shrieked. "Wait! They know we're here?" Izuru asked. "Well, actually they know me Ikkaku and Yumichika are here. But they might be suspicious that you guys are here too."
"As long as you three don't spill your guts, we're fine." Kenpachi said. "R-Right." Shuhei said and shut the door. His frantic footsteps echoed off.
"Okay, so they know those three are here. Big deal." Ichigo said sarcastically.
"But from my experience, Rangiku-chan can make you say anything. So if she backs them into a corner, they'll talk." Kyouraku said.
"Ikkaku and Yumichika can hold their own, Hisagi though, I'm a little concerned." Izuru said.
Meanwhile...
"Ikkaku! Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?!" Rangiku demanded. "We didn't know you were planning on coming here!" Ikkaku said.
"Baldy and Peacock-Brow could've come with us!" Yachiru cheered as she sat on Ikkaku's head.
"Even if we did know they were coming, we were supposed to come on this trip with women only." Nanao said. "Yeah." Rukia agreed.
"Well, if we're bothering you, we'll leave!" Shuhei said nervously and grabbed Ikkaku and Yumichika by the arms and pulled back. "Uh, yeah. We don't want to ruin your men-free evening." Yumichika said with a smile, although you could see through it. They were hiding something.
"Nonsense, we can take a few moments out of that to enjoy your company." Yoruichi said.
"Yeah. So is it just you three?" Kukaku asked. "Yeah, don't you and Izuru stick together on trips like this, Hisagi?" Momo asked.
They just ganged up on them, as if they knew they were hiding something. Sweat beaded down their faces. "Uh-uh, he couldn't come." He answered. "Y-Yup, we're all alone tonight. Nobody but us. Not another soul." Ikkaku said with a grin.
"Aww, that's too bad. It might've been more fun if there were more men with you." Rangiku shot them a look that said 'spill or you get spilled'. More sweat beaded down.
"Well, we tried to get the other guys to come but they refused." Shuhei said. "Yeah, and with such ugly rejections. They could've just said no thank you." Yumichika said.
"Well, it can't be helped now can it?" Nanao glared through her glasses.
"We reeeally need to be going, so much to do, so little time. Right guys?" Shuhei said and pulled them back some more. "Yeah, so many things to do, gotta relax, you know?" Ikkaku laughed.
"Yeah. We should relax too. In fact, why don't we help you relax?" Yoruichi suggested. Some of the other girls nodded, with scary expressions.
Crap! They're onto us! Gotta get out!! The three thought in unison. A couple girls approached them like a tiger approaches it's dinner. Scary...
"OKAY! I'LL TALK!" Shuhei shouted. He couldn't take the pressure anymore. "No! We will stand proud! We have absolutely nothing to hide, so go ahead and- AHH!!" Ikkaku shouted when all the women began to approach them.
"Okay! We'll talk! We'll talk!!" They shouted and dropped to their knees. Funny, in battle, they're fearless, against a few women, they're total wimps. This made the women smirk.
"We were merely implying you three were uptight about work. But now that you mention it, what're you hiding?" Kukaku said.
"Uh... Nothing..." They said. They got another deathly glare. "Crap!!" They whispered urgently.
"Okay! Kenpachi, Ichigo, Hitsugaya, Renji, Izuru, and Kyouraku are here too! And we overheard you talking in the baths earlier! Please don't kill us!" Shuhei cracked. Secret's out...
When they looked up, they saw the women, some with scared expressions, others with very, very angry expressions.
"So. You eavesdropped on us while we where in the baths earlier did you?" Soi Fon asked. The three nodded.
"And you heard our conversation about who we like?" Rukia asked. They nodded again.
"And were you planning on avoiding us for the rest of the evening and going back to work as if you never heard anything?" Nanao asked. Another nod.
"Oh. We get it now." Rangiku said.
Three seconds later...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
Meanwhile...
"Did you guys hear that?" Ichigo asked. "Mmm, nope. I didn't hear anything." Renji said. That was a lie. He did hear it. They all did.
The death-ringing screams that just emitted from somewhere in the onsen.
Back to the SWA...
"You guys are such idiots! Sneaking around, eavesdropping on peoples conversations!" Rukia scolded. "We weren't sneaking around, I swear!" Shuhei said.
"Then why didn't you say something? Or leave, or at least pick up your own conversation instead of listening to ours?! That would've been the admirable thing to do." Isane said.
"We were curious! Is that so wrong?" Ikkaku asked. He got a punch in the head.
"Yes! Now those guys know who likes them! We might've planned on telling them to their faces instead of them overhearing it!" Momo said, a hint of red on her face.
"Well, we didn't exactly plan to." Ikkaku said. "This coming from the guy who told us to shush so he could hear." Yumichika said, Ikkaku kicked him. "How vulgar!" He whined.
"Shut up, man!" Ikkaku urged.
"I think I know how to take care of these three." Yoruichi said grimly. The three were lifted and taken to the hot springs and thrown in the deep end. Naked.
The girls giggled as they screamed in agony. They were thrown into the really hot end. They took their robes with them and headed for the door. "Oh, and boys..." Yoruichi called before walking inside.
"Don't tell the guys we know they're here. Or else the next time, you'll be tied together when you fall in. If you understand me." She smirked darkly before catching up with the others.
Wow. Women can be fierce.
Few Minutes Later...
"What do we do now? Yoruichi told us not to tell the others they know they're here." Yumichika asked. "What else is there to do? Shut our mouths and let the women mess with them. After that little charade I don't wanna spill my guts and get into more trouble with those crazy women!" Ikkaku said.
"Guys, can we concentrate on getting some clothes please?" Shuhei asked. They were sneaking around the onsen, still naked.
"I can't believe this, a great big onsen and they don't have a room where they stock the robes!" Ikkaku cursed.
"I think that's it over there, I can't read the sign from here." Yumichika said. "It says 'Onsen's Changing Room' I guess that's it." Shuhei said as he squinted his eyes.
"They gotta have robes in there, let's go before someone comes!" Ikkaku commanded and they ran as fast as they could to the door and burst it open.
They looked around the room and realized it wasn't what they thought it was. The room was filled with lockers... and women changing.
"EEEK! PERVERTS! AND THEY'RE NAKED!" One woman shouted. All the women instinctively covered themselves with towels or clothes or whatever was near. Ikkau turned and read the sign.
It said 'Women's Changing Room'. "Shuhei you idiot you misread the sign!" He slapped Shuhei's head.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't read it from there!" He shouted. "EEEK! GET OUT YOU DIRTY PERVS! BEFORE I CALL SECURITY AND HAVE YOU BRUTALLY REMOVED!!" Another woman shouted and began throwing buckets and cups at them. "GET OUT!!"
They turned and ran out of the room Yumichika ran into the door and fell backwards, revealing everything to the women.
"KYAAAA! GROSS! GET OUT! DISGUSTING PERVERTS!!" Yumichika flipped himself right and ran out, his face and even his upper chest was completely red.
"Ikkaku! Hisagi! Wait up!" He called. Running down the empty hall.
Back At The Room...
"Ikkaku, Shuhei, and Yumichika have been gone a while, do you think the women did something to them?" Izuru asked. "Nah. We shouldn't worry, those idiots can handle themselves." Kenpachi said waving a dismissive hand.
Suddenly the door burst open and three very red, very naked figures ran past them into the closet. "What the hell?!" Everyone shouted.
A few seconds later, the closet door open and Shuhei, Ikkaku and Yumichika came out, fully dressed and completely calm. Hard to do after such an adventure.
"I will never make fun of female beauty again." Yumichika muttered. "I will never go to an onsen again." Ikkaku and Shuhei said in unison.
"What the hell happened to you three?" Hitsugaya asked. The three grimaced and then put on fake smiles. "Oh, the girls were a little tipsy and thought it would be funny to play a trick on us. They took away our robes and shoved us in the womens' changing room. By the way, if you hear something from the manager, we were here all night." Yumichika explained. Shuhei and Ikkaku nodded, frantically.
"Alright, what's going on?" Kyouraku asked. Don't say a word, that glare Is how the women got us to talk, they can't make me talk. Shuhei thought.
"Is that a burn mark on you cheek Ikkaku?" Ichigo asked. Ikkaku put a hand to his cheek and he could feel the heat radiating into his fingers. "I guess it's from when that girl hit me in the changing room." That was a lie, it was from the bath he was thrown into.
"Wow they got you good." Kenpachi laughed. "Yeah. They got us good." Yumichika laughed.
"So..." Renji started. "What'd you guys talk about?" He asked with a glare. It spread and soon everyone was glaring at the three.
"Nothing. Just hangin' out, hving fun, you know?" Ikkaku said with a fake grin. Everyone stared harder.
"We didn't say anything, don't worry..." Yumichika said and laughed a little.
"Really?" Hitsugaya asked, with suspicion in his voice. "Yup, we didn't say a word." Shuhei said.
Talk about deja vu.
"So you didn't mention us being here?" Ichigo asked. "Nope."
"You didn't mention us at all?" Izuru asked. "Not once."
"They didn't ask about us?" Kyouraku asked. "Mmm... no."
"You didn't say you were with anyone else?" Kenpachi asked. "Nuh uh."
"So you're saying that they still don't know?" Renji asked. "Yup."
"You didn't spill your guts?" Hitsugaya asked.
His glare did it. They dropped to the floor, in a bowing position. "We're sorry! They murdered us with their eyes! They ganged up on us! They forced it out!" Ikkaku exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" They all shouted. "They were going to do terrible things to us if we didn't talk. The pressure kill us, so we sang! Sang like jailbirds!" Yumichika said into the floor.
"So they know we're here?!" Renji demanded. "Yeah! They said not to say anything or else. But dammit, I can't take the glares!" Shuhei exclaimed.
"Alright calm down, get up off the floor." Kyouraku said calmly. "How can you say that? We should kick them into the floor for this!" Ichigo said. "Now wouldn't you have done the same if you had a bunch of women glaring into you?" Kyouraku asked.
Ichigo thought for a minute then sighed. "I guess your right. Get up you three." Ichigo said and he and Izuru helped them up.
"Now what do we do? They know we're here, so why hide? May as well go see 'em and face the music." Renji asked.
"Not necessarily." Kyouraku said, everyone turned to him. "What are you talking about?" Hitsugaya asked.
"We don't have to go see them, we don't have to face any music..." He said. "What do you mean?" Kenpachi asked.
"I mean... why don't we have a little fun with the situation?" Kyouraku suggested. "Like how?" Izuru asked.
"Like this..." They huddled together and Kyouraku explained his plan. A few seconds later Yumichika's head flashed back as he shrieked.
"There's no WAY I'm gonna do that!" He shouted. "You have to, you guys got us into it, your gonna help us get out of it." Kyouraku said and Yumichika knew he lost.
"So why are we stuck doing the dirty work?" Ikkaku asked, pointing to him and Shuhei and Yumichika. "Because you three are the go-between. You guys are safe to see 'em. You just gotta do one or two things and your done." Kyouraku snickered.
"But still... that of all things?" Yumichika complained.
"Think of it this way, it's either that, or it's your head, take your pick." Kenpachi said with a fist.
"Y-Yes taicho." Yumichika cried. "Now, here's what to do. Shuhei, you go and distract them. Ikkaku and Yumichika you do your stuff. We'll stay here and wait for the signal." Kyouraku ordered. "Yes sir." They said sadly.
Renji stepped out of the room and came back with something. He handed it to Yumichika who only groaned and whined again.
They exited their room with a small pouch with the 'equipment' they needed. They groaned as they walked down the hall.
"I'm actually afraid to go back." Shuhei admitted. "Me too. I can't believe we gotta be the go-between for this stupid plan." Ikkaku cursed. "You?! I have to do the ugliest job here!" Yumichika whined.
"Oh shut up, at least your not a distraction. I'm gonna be victim to their eyes again." Shuhei groaned. "Just talk about something. As embarrassing as it was, tell 'em about the locker room." Ikkaku said.
"What?! But- Oh forget it! Fine!" Shuhei folded his arms. "I have to act as a guard for you Yumi, you better be quick about it!" Ikkaku said.
"Yeah yeah! I'll try, but this mission isn't as easy as it sounds. I mean, I have to put this thing in... something." He held up the small pouch they took.
"Just hurry it up alright?" Ikkaku asked. They knew they were close when roaring laughter was heard in the room ahead.
"Okay. Shuhei, good luck. Remember, the key word to signal us is 'hilarious'." Yumichika said.
Shuhei gulped. "Right." He said and knocked softly on the door. Ikkaku and Yumichika took cover around the corner.
"Coming!" A cheery voice sang. The door slid open. "Shuhei! Hiya! Come on in." It was Rangiku who opened it. Shuhei took a deep breath before walking into the lions' den.
The door shut and Ikkaku and Yumichika went to the door and put their ear to it to listen.
"So what brings you here Shuhei?" Rangiku asked. "Oh. Uh, I just came to tell you about what happened after you dumped us, it was pretty funny." He said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh? Girls! Come here, Shuhei wants to tell us a funny story." Rangiku called. She led him into the main room where all the women were sitting and chattering. "What kind of funny story?" Yachiru asked.
"Oh, it's about after we 'dumped' him and the other guys." Rangiku said. "Oh yeah! Tell us about it. Come on sit down by me!" Yoruichi siad and scoot over, closer to Soi Fon who blushed a little.
"Okay." Shuhei said nervously. Crap... He thought as he took a seat next to Yoruichi, who thankfully was on the other side of the room. So all the women would be facing away from the front door.
"So you guys dumped us into the hot spring right? And we got totally boiled. I mean it was hotter than being two inches from the sun." He began, all the women scooted closer, with their backs to the front door. Perfect.
"Hey, no hard feelings about that? Right?" Rangiku asked sweetly.
"Naw! No hard feelings. But what happened next was pretty 'hilarious'. Ikkaku and Yumichika winced outside the door.
"That's the key word, he's got them distracted. Let's go." Ikkaku whispered and slowly slid the door open. He pocked his head in and looked to see no one in the room. He turned his head and saw everyone gathered in the main room.
"'Kay, let's go." He whispered and he opened the door wider and they crept inside. They were light on their feet and went into the bedroom area.. There were tons of beds set up already, and clothes scattered everywhere. It's a mystery as to how they know whose is whose.
"Alright, I'll wait here by the door, you go and do you thing." Ikkaku said and stood in the doorway while Yumichika crept into the bedroom and began his search.
He took the small pouch and removed it's content; A tiny microphone.
Kyouraku-taicho said that the onsen had microphones for when guests wanted to talk to each other from separate rooms. So my job is to find an object the women will wear, and hid the microphone within it. Yumichika thought.
Indeed. Yumichika's job was the dirty one. Because he needed to find something the women will wear and hide the microphone inside.
"But what will they wear tonight?" He asked himself quietly. Ikkaku hissed. Urging him to hurry. Shuhei was already half way done with his story. The giggles in the other room echoed to Yumichika.
"I got it!" Yumichika snapped. He quickly went to the nearest robe. Didn't care whose. He dug in it and looked for a special spot. Ah ha!
The inside of the sleeve, the part that hung of the wrist, it had a tear in it. Right on the left sleeve. He clipped the microphone into place, with this thin material, it can be hidden, but still be audible.
He switched it on. He put the robe back and went to Ikkaku. He whispered something to him.
Ikkaku smirked. "No problem." He murmured and Yumichika vrept back to the front door and exited.
Ikkaku looked to Shuhei who carefully hid his gaze while still looking back.
"Spill the water on someone!" Ikkaku mouthed and crept to the door and shut it. Shuhei barely comprehended but understood well enough.
He made a gesture with his hands and spilled a glass of water on Yoruichi, who yelped in the process. "Yoruichi-sama! Are you okay?" Soi Fon asked. "It's fine Soi Fon, it's just water. I just need a new robe." She placed a hand on Shuhei's shoulder for support and stood up.
"I'll help you." Soi Fon insisted and got up as well. They went into the bedroom and a few minutes later they came back and Yoruichi was in a new robe. "There, all fixed." She said with a grin.
Ikkaku and Yumichika peeked through the crack in the doorway. Yumichika smiled, he could tell. She picked just the right one. He could see the tear in the left sleeve.
"Mission accomplished, let's get back to the room." Yumichika and Ikkaku smirked and stepped lightly down the hall in a sprint.
Back At The Room...
"How'd it go? Did you do it?" Kyouraku asked. "Yup, the microphones in place. It's ready for transmission." Yumichika nodded.
"Good. And Shuhei?" He asked. "Should be back any minute, he's finishing up." Ikkaku said. "Good, good. When he gets back, we shall see what the women plan on doing..." Kyouraku let out a smirk.
A smirk that meant something very very bad was about to happen to the women.
There you have it. Kyouraku is planning something. And it could only mean one thing: Trouble. What will the SWA do? Will they fall for it? Or bounce back and counter them in their own trick? Find out in the next chapter of Onsen Trip! Coming soon! I feel like a movie trailer! XD Lol.
Laterz! RedPearlVoice.
