I strolled over to where Sakaki, Akisame and Kenichi stood on a tall cliff the overlooked the ocean. Below, Miu and Kenichi's little sister, Honoko, called for him to join him. Akisame smiled and wrapped an arm around my waist, fiddling with the buttons of my swimsuit cover. It was a pale lavender colored oversized button up shirt that fell to my mid-thigh. I could tell Akisame was anxious to remove it and see the bathing suit underneath.

"Well?" Akisame asked, Kenichi, a strange gleam in his eyes. "What are you waiting for? They're waiting for you. You better get going."

"You wanted a face full of boobies right?" Sakaki tempted. "Well, there they are."

"Yeah, that's right," Kenichi said, his voice quivering. "I do wanna join her, it's just…WHY DO I HAVE TO DO IT FROM THE TOP OF THIS CLIFF?! IT'S SUICIDE!"

I giggled and he shot me a glare.

"Listen up Kenichi, there's one thing that every martial artist must have," Sakaki began. "It's a little thing called courage. It's the most important thing in a fight. If you're too scared of what might happen, you've already lost. If you wanna win, you have to have courage! And a lack of it is your biggest weakness right now!"

"It's effecting your progress," Akisame deadpanned. "If you don't conquer this now, you'll never move to the next level. That's why we've planned out some highly intensive courage building activities while we're here on the island."

"What?!" Kenichi cried. "But you said I could have the day off!"

"You can if you pass the test," Akisame said. "Have you ever heard of Pentecost Island? It's in the south Pacific. Young men test their courage by jumping from high towers with vines tied around their feet. It's a coming of age ceremony and the origin of modern day bungee jumping. Here's the test. If you can jump from here we'll excuse you from any of the training we have planned."

"No way!" Kenichi exclaimed. "I'm not here for a coming of age ceremony! Plus, there could be rocks down there!"

Shugure walked past us, heading for the edge of the cliff. She discarded her kimono, tossing it into the air to reveal the bandages underneath that served to cover her body. In her hand was a small trident, which she held tightly as she jumped off the cliff, plunging into the water below. I ran to the edge of the cliff, kneeling down to watch her surface, a small fish skewered on the trident.

"No rocks here," she said. "Jump."

"Great," Sakaki sneered, walking up behind Kenichi and I.

"Now you have no excuse not to jump!" Akisame declared. I smiled and stood, taking Kenichi's hand in my own.

"Come on!" I said. "You can do it! I'll do it with you!"

"But…I don't know how to swim!" Kenichi said.

"So," I said. "It's not hard. Just relax and you'll naturally float!"

"But…but…" Kenichi stuttered.

"If I can do it, so can you!" I declared, taking a few steps back and discarding my swimsuit cover. Beneath it I wore a black fitted suit that hugged the curves of my body. It was a once piece and was strapless and hung a big low on my breast, showing a good amount of cleavage. It had cuts in the sides that showed the curve of my waist and little white bow on the front between my breasts.

I took a few more steps back and raced to the edge of the cliff, launching off the edge and free falling into the water below. I landed with a loud splash and quickly swam to the surface, smiling at Kenichi.

"See, it's easy!" I shouted. "In fact, it's fun! I'm doing it again!"

"You're crazy!" Kenichi called as I swam to the shallower water and began walking to the beach.

"Hey, that's my woman you're talking about," Akisame scolded. I ran back to the top of the cliff just in time to see the Elder jumping off the cliff with Kenichi in his grasp. I watched as Kenichi screamed in terror before the water swallowed him and Hayato.

"Is that a good idea?" I asked.

"No," Sakaki sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. "Nice jump by the way. I'm surprised you did it!"

"It was fun!" I exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of my feet. Akisame chuckled and grabbed me by my waist, pulling me flush against his body.

"I like your suit," he hummed, his fingers tracing the exposed flesh at my waist. He placed a quick kiss on my lips.

"I'm glad," I purred. "But you'll have to wait to peel it off. I'm jumping again!"

With that I tore away from him and ran to the edge of the cliff. I looked back to see him smile at me, his eyes dark with desire. I smirked and turned back, jumping towards the water below.
