Chapter 6

Beach Time!

"Kanade-sempai! Yukino-sempai!" Sakuya cries while running towards them during lunch time. "Guess what I got!"

The twins turn over at the silver haired girl who is holding out two brochures.

"I asked my father to book all three of us to go to Odaiba and rent a hotel and he did~!" Sakuya says happily. "Isn't it awesome!?"

"Yes, but why go there?" Kanade asks.

"Well, since you two are going on spring vacation soon, why not have a little fun?" the silver haired girl says. "Besides, Father said it was okay if I went with you two anyways since he trusts you two."

"You mean, your father knows about us?" Yukino asks.

Sakuya giggles. "Of course, silly! I tell him about you all the time! And he says you two are the nicest girls."

"Oh, well, tell him thanks~!" Yukino says while clasping her hands together.

"I will!" Sakuya then turns to Kanade. "Kanade-sempai…"

"Yes, Saku-chan?"

"Even though you two are going out…" The silver haired girl then jumps to link arms with the younger twin. "I WON'T BACK DOWN JUST TO SPEND MY TIME WITH YOUUUUU~!"

"H-hey!" Kanade says while frantically looking around to see if anyone is noticing this. "A-are you sure you should be doing that here!?"

"Ahhh~!" Sakuya coos while rubbing her head against the artist's chest. "You're chest is so soft~! I can't wait to sleep with you when we get to the hotel. It'll be so much fun~!"

"I'd rather keep my distance from you, thank you," Kanade mumbles.

But Sakuya could barely hear the younger twin's comment as she keeps on ranting about her fantasy. "Oh! I know! When we get to the beach-"

Kanade turns to her girlfriend. "Where are we going to get swimsuits and other beach material? Are we all going unprepared?"

"I don't think we have to worry about it," Yukino says. "Besides, we still have those swimsuits we wore last winter. So, we should be good for now."

"That's true, but…what can we do with her?" Kanade says as she glances down at the silver haired girl who's nose is nearly bleeding from her rants.

"I've got the perfect plan~" Yukino says while winking.

Kanade raises an eyebrow, afraid of what her older sister is thinking, but hoping that it might work just for those two to be together alone.


The next day, Sakuya leads them to their driver that her father had sent to pick them up. And then, the ride took about an hour and a half for them to get to the hotel near the beach. Kanade and Yukino are amazed about the new surroundings as they look out the window. Lucky for them, they get to sit next to each other for once without Sakuya trying to try and get in-between them. Sakuya sat in the front seat, giving her driver directions on where to go while Kanade and Yukino sit next to each other, with hands touching each other. Even though this trip will be a few days, Kanade couldn't be any happier than being with her beloved girlfriend and older sister. Yukino feels the same way.

When the three girls get to the hotel, after Sakuya tells her driver that they'll be here for three days and when to pick them up. From there, the three check out their room, which is the 14th floor, Room 1424.

As Kanade sighs in relief while putting the bag down, Sakuya is happily twirling around.

"Yay~!" she cheers. "We're finally here! In this hotel! With my two favorite upperclassman, but mostly…" She rushes towards Kanade's chest. "I get to be with my lovely Kanade-sempai~!"

"S-Saku-chan?" Kanade looks over at her girlfriend for help.

Yukino nods as she taps the freshman on the shoulder. "Hey, Sakuya? Um, there's something I need you to do…" She whispers something in Sakuya's ear, making the freshman perk up.

"Yes! I'll do whatever I can!" Sakuya says while saluting. "I'll be back in a pinch!" She dashes out the door with Kanade raising an eyebrow.

"What…did you tell her to do?" she asks.

"Just to go to the store to pick out some beach supplies," Yukino replies. "She probably knows where to go since she told us she's been here before."

Kanade pouts her lips as she slightly turns her head away. "Gee, I bet she'll be back before we are even done packing."

"Not to worry~!" Yuknino says. "Since you're here, I'm sure she'll have a hard time picking out which sunscreen to use that you're comfortable with. I haven't told her that yet."

"That's good." The younger twin turns toward the suitcase. "Well then, shall we-" Before she could finish her sentence, she feels a hand touch her cheek, pulled in close and lips colliding with her older sister's. Kanade did not pull away. She turns and returns the kiss while putting a arm around Yukino's waist and pulls her a bit closer. They pull away for a second to breath before kissing again. Kanade's legs start to go numb as she backs away a little, unaware of the bed behind her.

"Ah!"

Kanade falls on her back on the bed with her legs hanging while staring in shock at her sister, who is on top of her. Yukino wastes no time to kiss her again. The artist closes her eyes while caressing her girlfriend's cheek with their bodies rubbing against each other a little. Yuki-chan, she thinks to herself. Yuki-chan…it's a bit too intense…

"Kana-chan…" Yukino whispers, getting a bit deeper into the kiss until she feels her girlfriend flinch and hands gently push her away. "Ah! What's wrong, Kana-chan!?"

"Y-you got a bit…too intense there," Kanade says while trying to catch her breath.

"Aw~!" Yukino groans. "And I thought we were getting to the good part!"

"Which is?"

"You know what I mean~!" The older twin winks at her. It is then that Kanade gets the picture.

"L-let's just unpack our stuff, okay?"

A couple hours pass, the twins are done and Sakuya comes back with the beach supplies. The twins thank her and look over to see what Sakuya bought. Apparently, the bag is quite heavy, in which Kanade is suspicious of and finds about 10 bottles of sunscreen.

"Uhhh…Saku-chan," Kanade says while sweat dropping. "Why are there about 10 bottles in this bag?"`

"Oh! I don't know what kind of sunscreen you like, so I went and bought one of each kind~!" Sakuya says. "Oh! I also bought these!" She holds out three sunglasses and visors. "I thought they might come in handy once we go on the beach tomorrow."

"Thanks, Sakuya~!" Yukino says as she takes the red colored sunglasses. "Wow~! The star-shaped ones are cool~!"

"Aren't they!?" Sakuya says. She puts on another star-shaped pair, only in green color and hands Kanade the same thing, only in yellow color. "I thought all three of us can have the cool glasses. Besides, no girl can be left out without being the coolest girl~!"

Kanade sweat drops again. "That…sounds nice." I don't know if being cool is right for me, though, She thinks to herself.


The next day, after eating some breakfast at a restaurant next to the lobby, the three girls went back to their room to change into their swimsuits. Kanade is wearing her brown swimsuit, Yukino wearing her light blue colored swimsuit and Sakuya wearing a short purple tank top with a black short skirt.

"Alright~!" Sakuya says while pumping up a fist after grabbing her beach towel. "Let's go!"

Kanade sighs, feeling that it's going to be a boring time with Sakuya around. However, Yukino gently takes her girlfriend's hand and gives her a reassuring smile, probably telling her that they'll get some time to themselves. Kanade smiles back at her, feeling a little better.

With that, the girls exit their room, lock it and head straight to the beach. Yukino is carrying the beach supplies while Kanade is carrying the umbrella Sakuya had also bought yesterday for some shade and Sakuya is just happily leading the way, probably excited to spend time with the artist.

When the girls enter the beach, they find that it's already full of people. Sakuya, Kanade and Yukino stare in awe at the amount of people they see.

"Wow!" Kanade says. "Talk about early bird gets the worm."

"I know," Yukino says. "Where are we supposed to sit?"

Sakuya rubs her chin, thoughtfully. "Hmmm…" She looks around for an opening until she sees it diagonally next to three other girls. "Hey, how about over there? They probably won't mind us sitting there, would they?"

"I guess we'll have to find out," Kanade says as she walks ahead.

"H-hey! Wait for me, Kanade-sempai!" Before Sakuya could sprint after her, Yukino runs ahead, making the silver haired girl spin around in circles until she got dizzy and falls flat on her face.

Kanade walks over to see a tall girl with long black hair with two red bows on each side of her head and wearing a red colored two piece swim suit.

"U-um, excuse me," Kanade says to the girl.

"Yes?" the girl turns and smiles at her. The tone in her voice is gentle and kind. "Can I help you?"

"Is it alright if me and my sister lay out our stuff next to you?" Kanade asks while gesturing her hand towards the spot.

"Oh, sure," The girl replies. "Go right ahead."

"Thank you."

The twins walk over and lay the towel on the sand and Kanade opens up the umbrella. After making a few more adjustments, she sits down on the towel and sighs. It might have been a lot of work, but to her, opening up the umbrella and making sure everything is right under this heat is exhausting. But most of all, having Sakuya around to be all over her.

"Kana-chan?" Yukino says while looking at her in concern. "Is something the matter?"

The artist looks up at her girlfriend and shakes her head. "No, I'm fine."

Yukino is about to say something when Sakuya runs up to them, panting.

"Hey, girls!" she calls when she catches up to them.

"Hi, Sakuya," Yukino says. "What took you so long?"

The silver haired girl pouts her lips. "You're so mean, Kanade-sempai, Yukino-sempai! You left me out here alone and I had to run all the way up here!"

"I don't think it's bad," Kanade mutters.

"Furthermore!" Sakuya says while pointing at the artist. "You and I need to do some stuff together~! Like how about putting on some sunscreen first? We should never go without it, can we?" She holds up the first bottle, which is the gel kind. She puts a little on her arm and smells it. "Mm~! Smells like daisies!"

"I think I like this better," Yukino picks up another bottle, which smells like strawberries.

"Do I want to smell like fruit?" Kanade asks while frowning.

Yukino pouts her lips. "Aw~! I just want to put it on you and smell you every time I get close to you!"

Pinch!

"Ow, ow, owwww!" Yukino cries in pain. "Okay, okay! I'm sowwy!"

Kanade sighs as she lets go of her sister's cheek and looks over at the waves. She finds herself staring at the wonderful movement of the water and how she and her girlfriend will have a wonderful time in the water. She lets out a soft sigh. Even though she enjoys having Sakuya around, will she get to spend time with Yukino alone?

"Kanade-sempai," Sakuya says while holding up the bottle. "Shall we? You can put it on me first if you want."

"Sakuya," Yukino says while putting a hand on her shoulder. "I think we should let Kana-chan decide what she wants to do."

Sakuya pouts her lips for a second before sighing in defeat. "Oh, alright. I'll go get us some smoothies while you're at it."

While Sakuya skips off to a stand nearby, Yukino walks over and leans forward.

"Something the matter, Kana-chan?" she asks in a gentle tone.

"Oh, it's nothing," Kanade says while waving a hand back and forth. She looks down and picks up another bottle of sunscreen. "Say, what's this supposed to smell like?"

"Cinnamon," Yukino says. "It says it right on the label."

"Then, what about this one?"

"Eucalyptus trees."

"This one?"

"I don't even want to know what that is."

"Really?"

The twins read out the other bottles until they find the last two, which are the smell of roses and girl's perfume. Kanade is holding the roses one while Yukino is holding the smelly perfume. The older twin tosses the perfume sunscreen away and looks over at Kanade, who is still holding the rose flavored sunscreen.

"Do you want me to put that on you?" Yukino asks.

The artist nods. "Only if you let me put it on you, Yuki-chan."

The older twin smiles as she nods happily. "I certainly will~!"

And Yukino did just that. While Kanade lies on her belly on the towel, the older twin does the honors and gently rubs the sunscreen on her. Kanade feels so much more relaxed with her girlfriend around than the hyper Sakuya. Once Yukino is done rubbing sunscreen on her sister's body, it's Kanade's turn. However, once the younger twin opens the bottle, she hears footsteps come toward her and a bit of whimpering. Kanade looks up to see Sakuya holding the smoothies while having small tears in her eyes while pouting her lips.

"You're no fair, Kanade-sempai!" Sakuya whines.

"You've spent enough time with me today as it is," Kanade reasons.

"But still…"

"Look, let's just enjoy having all us together, okay?" Kanade says while smiling at her underclassman. "Besides, you were the one who invited us to come to this wonderful place."

Sakuya smiles back as she nods. "You're right. Let's have a fun time at this beach."

After Sakuya puts on her own sunscreen which is the strawberry flavored one, the girls head for the ocean and have fun splashing each other with water, playing with the beach ball and chatting with each other while resting on the towel under the umbrella. The three had played on the beach until it's close to dusk. The sun is setting with the sky colored orange and is almost gone from behind the ocean. Kanade stares at the wonderful view while sitting on the sand, hugging herself.

"Kana-chan?" Yukino's voice snaps out of the artist's thoughts. "We're about to leave now."

"Just a little longer, Yuki-chan," Kanade says.

Yukino nods as she proceeds to sit next to her girlfriend. "Well, in that case, I'll sit here with you. Sakuya is just packing up our stuff right now and I told her we'll meet her back at our room in a bit."

"Okay."

There is silence for a minute before Yukino speaks up again.

"Did you have fun, Kana-chan?" she asks.

"Yes," the younger twin replies, still staring at the sunset.

The tan-haired girl scoots closer to her. "Is something the matter? You've been acting kind of strangely since we got here."

"Wh-what do you mean? I said I was fine."

Yukino frowns. "Don't try to fool me, Kana-chan. You were looking a little gloomy from time to time, even when Sakuya's around." Then, it hits her. "Don't tell me…were you jealous?"

"J-jealous?" Kanade stutters while blushing. "No way! It's more like…I was kind of upset that she wanted to tag along." She lowers her head while turning away. "I mean, I wanted this to be just the two of us. I thought Saku-chan took us here just for us to be together alone."

BONK!

"Ow!" Kanade cries out in alarm from Yukino's soft karate-chop to the head. "What was that for?"

"You're wrong, Kana-chan," Yukino says. "We've been having fun together all this time. And yes, we've been together for quite some time. But is it really that bad to have Sakuya with us?"

"I-I guess not." Once again, Yukino is right. Why is Kanade always thinking about this type of stuff, even when they are going out? "I love you, Yuki-chan. You're my sister and my girlfriend. I just…want us to have the best time together."

"And we are," Yukino says while gently taking her cheek and kissing her forehead. "We don't always have to spend time alone together just to enjoy it. Sakuya's our friend, too, and we should be grateful that she invited us to this place to have a great time."

Kanade nods. "You're right. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay," Yukino says as she rests her head on her girlfriend's shoulder. "At times like this, I'd like to watch the sunset with only you, Kana-chan."

Kanade smiles. "Yuki-chan…"

The twins turn back towards the sunset, which is nearly disappearing behind the ocean.


A/N: Whew! That's the longest chapter I've had so far! I watched the second extra on Candy Boy, with the girls in swimsuits, which gave me the perfect inspiration to write this one-shot. And many of you are probably wondering: "Why is it always Kanade trying so hard to do things for Yukino? Why not switch it up?" Well, it's going to happen. Just in the later chapters.

Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~!
