11. Bare
Yuna and Rikku continued to bathe in the water. It was a relaxing experience, the light of the moon dancing off the river. The temperature of the water was pleasant. Cool, but not cold, same as the early evening air. The girls sat on some rocks near the shore, their tits floating half under the water. Rikku sat nude as Yuna hung out in her underwear. Her garments were soaked to the skin, revealing her nipples through her small bra. Her panties were equally skimpy, starting to ride up and annoy her beneath the water.
"Would you take that stuff off, already, Yunie?" Rikku asked. "They're not a bikini, ya know. They're hardly meant to be worn underwater."
Yuna gave a pause, again looking around. "Hmm. I guess you're right," she conceded. She reached her arms back, unfastening her bra. She took off the garment, immediately feeling relief as her large breasts bounced free of their restraints. She tossed her brassiere aside, soon moving her hands underwater. Yuna's heart pounded, the girl suddenly starting to feel tense.
"Here. Allow me!" Rikku said naughtily. She sidled up next to Yuna, at once grabbing her panties under the water.
"H-Hey! Wait!" Yuna blushed. At once, her cousin took down her panties, returning to the surface with a wry grin.
"Gotcha!" she said, laughing as she raised the garments in victory.
"Enough, already!" Yuna said, grabbing her panties and tossing them to the shore next to her bra.
"See, now? Doesn't this feel much better?" Rikku asked. Yuna shyly blushed.
"Well. I suppose it is kind of nice," she replied.
In truth, however, she knew that Rikku was right. Swimming in the nude was exhilarating. It was a feeling of complete freedom, almost like flying underwater. She then remembered Tidus, recalling the time the two of them swam together. Her thoughts soon turned naughty, picturing the two of them swimming buck naked in the Moonflow.
They could probably have great sex there. Hot, dirty sex on the banks of the river. Yuna was a virgin, however, and could only imagine what it would be like. She had a vague idea, but struggled to picture what it would feel like having a guy inside of her. Yuna gently blushed, suddenly shaking her head. Such filthy thoughts. Hardly becoming of a former summoner. But then, that was the key, wasn't it?
Former.
All her life, Yuna was groomed as the daughter of the great Braska. She was taught to have pure thoughts, and to do only what she was told to by the temple. In the chaos of the last two years, however, she'd felt herself in an increasing state of turmoil. The girl was torn. Half of her desired to break free of her past, the other half struggled to give it all up so easily. The conditioning she'd experienced throughout her life was responsible for her trademark modesty, which most people viewed as a positive trait. Yuna could only laugh.
The state of her soul was a perfect metaphor for Spira as a whole.
As Yuna sat lost in thought, Rikku looked on, tilting her head. "...Yo. What's goin' on in there?" she asked, tapping Yuna's head.
"Oh. Nothing. Just, ya know. The usual," Yuna replied quietly.
"Well don't think too hard, will ya? Your gears are likely to grind and get dull," Rikku said.
As the thief flashed a toothy grin, Yuna looked on, taken aback by her words. Rikku was a carefree girl, but every so often, she'd say something so profound, it astonished even Yuna.
"Heh. Guess you're right," Yuna said. "You're wise beyond your years, sometimes, you know that, Rikku?"
"Oh... ain't it the truth?" Rikku said with pride. "Guess we should get out, now, though. We're liable to turn into prunes at this rate."
"Yeah," Yuna replied. The two turned back toward the shore, swimming across the river, reaching the banks they'd entered from. As the girls reached the shore, they suddenly paused. They stood stark naked, water dripping down their bare flesh.
"...Wait," Rikku said, suddenly looking all around. As she began to grow tense, Yuna paused, going pale.
"...Where's out clothes?" she asked warily.
"...This is where we left them, right?" Rikku asked.
"Yes! I remember the shape of this rock!" Yuna replied. Rikku fell silent, at once clenching her fists.
"Grrrrr. Brother! You fucking perv! This isn't funny, dammit!" Rikku yelled, assuming it was him playing a prank. She gazed out into the woods, hearing nothing but crickets in reply.
"...Ha, ha. Very funny. Now give back our clothes, already," Yuna shouted, covering her tits and vagina with her hands.
No reply.
Yuna and Rikku turned to each other, eyes wide as their hearts started to pound.
"No way...!" Rikku said nervously.
"Oh, this is so not cool," Yuna replied, feeling equally uneasy.
"Who do you think took our stuff? Some of the local kids?" Rikku asked.
"I don't know, but it's dangerous for us to be bare naked out here. They took our clothes, but they also took our weapons," Yuna replied. Rikku gritted her teeth.
"Grr...! Damn them! I'm gonna kick the ass of whoever's behind this!" Rikku exclaimed.
As the girl yelled, a shuffle suddenly came from the nearby trees. The girls shot their attention toward the woods, eyes wide as Rikku swiftly stepped from the river. "...Hey!" Rikku shouted, at once running toward the woods.
"Rikku! Wait!" Yuna replied. She nervously hesitated, soon reluctantly following her cousin.
The girls both entered the woods, butt naked as they followed the source of the sound. It was a shadowy figure, moving swiftly through the trees. Rikku and Yuna raced through the forest, their bare feet crunching against the grass. They jumped over roots and bushes, their tits and asses shaking as they streaked through the woods. The woods were dark, the dim light of the moon the only thing illuminating the area.
Rikku gnashed her teeth, focusing solely on the shadowy figure ahead. She swiftly moved her feet, filled with rage at her opponent. The situation was ironic. Rikku was the thief, here. She wasn't supposed to get stolen from. The thought wounded her pride, but she couldn't let that distract her. She was going to catch the thief and rip them limb from limb for this humiliation.
Yuna's thoughts were less brash. As she raced to follow her cousin, she suddenly started worrying about their situation. There they were. Totally naked. Totally unarmed. She couldn't determine which was more worrying, though the latter certainly seemed the bigger danger. If they were to run into a monster now, say something like the Ochu from before, they would be totally defenseless.
An encounter could spell disaster, and the girls would be in real danger of being killed.
