It's a fine afternoon for Team Tohno. Yuyaki is out, running errands, Nachi is busy with her work, whatever that is, and the rest? Well, they are just sitting around at Yuyaki's home. Actually, Ushimaru, Kumi, Misato and Yuyaki are supposed to be at the hot springs, but the team leader wanted to do a little shopping before hand. Ushimaru took a nap like always, Kumi was busy sharpening her various weapons and Misato is sitting there, reading a book.

Ushimaru wakes up to look at the clock. It reads 3:00 pm. Sitting up, she stretches out her arms, and her cow friend in a bucket floats over to her.

"Where's Yu-chaaaan..." she asks and yawns.

"She's only been gone for 15 minutes," Misato replies as she flips to another page.

"She'll be here, don't worry~" Kumi says as she winks. "She's buying us swimsuits for the beach some day."

"Swimsuits...the beeaaach," Ushimaru repeats.

"I would love to see Yuyaki buy something totally revealing for MIsato~" Kumi teases. "People would hit on her for sure~"

Misato blushes and covers her chest. "F-fat chance on that! Are you serious right now, Kumi!?"

"Ohhhh, you want ME to hit on you instead~?" Kumi snickers.

"Sh-shut up!"

"Girls...calm down...pleeeease..." Ushimaru tries to control the situation, but she knows she'll fail miserably. She's too chill unlike her best friend. Unless she gets really irritated and has no choice but to lash some sense into them.

Misato huffs and crosses her arms. "You know Kumi. She always has to joke about stuff."

"Well, why not~?" the kitsune shrugs. "It's in my nature."

"Nature, my foot," Misato scoffs. "Yuyaki-san will be very upset when she finds out we've been trashing out her house again."

"I'm holding myself back, just like I promised her," Kumi says. "It's not so hard."

Misato sighs. "Let's see how long it will last..."

Ushimaru yawns again and sits back to turn on the television. About 10 more minutes go by before they hear Yuyaki at the door. Ushimaru quickly rushes to the front door to help her best friend with everything when she notices a white plastic bag full of swimsuits.

"You can put them in the closet," Yuyaki says. "We're saving them for the beach some day. It's...summer after all."

"Okay~"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Kumi says, running toward the front door. "Let me see the swimsuits first!"

"Okay, here..." Ushimaru hands Kumi the bag and the kitsune digs into it.

There is only one one-piece swimsuit, another is a black two piece bikini with a mini-skirt, the rest are ordinary two-piece bikinis. The kitsune frowns a bit.

"No skimpy ones?"

"Wh-what did you expect? I'm not planning on having anyone stare at us...while we're there..." Yuyaki shrugs.

It is then that the kitsune smirks and rubs her chin. "Maybe they won't have to~" She takes the swimsuits out of the bag and unwraps them.

"Ah...K-Kumi-san...! What are you doing?" Yuyaki reaches out her hands, but knows that it's too late.

"We can wear these swimsuits in other ways~" Kumi winks. "And this is the perfect opportunity for us to wear them inside the hot spring~"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Misato also runs toward the front door. "Wearing swimsuits? In a hot spring? Can you be any more insane than you already are?"

Kumi chuckles. "I can be~"

Yuyaki sweat drops. "I never even heard...of a person wearing a swimsuit inside a hot spring...or a bath…ever."

Kumi grins. "Then, this is the perfect time to try it out. We'll be the first people to do this~"

Misato sighs. "Fine. If you insist."

"That's the spirit, Misato~!" Kumi gives her friend a pat on the back.

Yuyaki shakes her head in dismay with a small smile. "Well...I don't see why not. What about you, U-chan?" She turns to her bovine-like best friend.

"Hmmmm..." Ushimaru mumbles, rubbing her chin in thought. "If Yu-chan is doing it...then I shall to."

"Alright. Give me a few minutes, and we'll be on our way."

**Later**

The group arrives at the hot springs and make reservations. Fortunately for them, this isn't a mixed hot air bath. When all of them strip from their clothing and change into their swimsuits they walk toward the hot air bath. Yuyaki takes a look at herself wearing a white two piece bikini. Misato is wearing a black two piece with a mini-skirt, Kumi is wearing a red two piece and Ushimaru is wearing a pink one-piece.

Yuyaki steps into the water, the warmth enveloping her body as she goes a bit deeper until it reaches her neck. Kumi grins and nods.

"See? It's not much different wearing a swimsuit in the bath~" she says as she puts her hands on her hips.

"I...guess not..." Yuyaki says. "U-chan, you coming?"

"Yeaaaah..." Ushimrau steps into the water next and goes toward her best friend to sit next to her. "Ahhhhh...refreshing."

Kumi and Misato step into the water last and sit on the opposite side. The warmth soothes them and they soon relax the same time as Yuyaki and Ushimaru.

"This isn't so bad," Misato comments.

"When you're wearing a swimsuit in the bath, it's something special~" Kumi says, giving a thumbs up. "Who says it's unusual? I want something new. And this is the prime example~"

The other girls giggle as they sit back and relax, enjoying the warmth of the water for about 15 minutes. It's nice to relax every once in a while instead of training and going on missions. Yuyaki looks around to see everyone full of content and satisfaction. She's happy everyone's enjoying their time at the hot spring, wearing their swimsuits.

However, there comes a time where everything has to end. Yuyaki tells her team that they should get out and dry up. However, she notices a text on her smart phone as she gets dressed. A text from Nachi.

"Enjoyed your bath, everyone~? Well, come to the park tonight to watch the stars for some more relaxation! I even bought a telescope! See you there~!

—Nachi"

"Nachi-san…" Yuyaki looks at her team. "E-everyone…Nachi-san wants us to meet her…at the park tonight. We're…star gazing."

"Ohhh, how nice~!" Kumi says.

"Wait, I thought she was busy," Misato raises an eyebrow.

"M-maybe she got her work done early," Yuyaki guesses. "Anyways, let's go. I want…the whole team to relax…together…" She turns toward the kitsune and tanuki. "And you two. Please…don't ruin the perfect night with your…. silly b-bickering."

"We promise!" Kumi and Misato say in unison.

"You better," Yuyaki says, having JUST a hint of her "other self"'s voice kick in.

**Later**

Yuyaki and Ushimaru sit on the grass that night. It's a beautiful night with no clouds in sight and crickets are chirping left and right. The two younger teammates wait for the rich girl to set up the telescope, which takes about 10 minutes. She is wearing a beautiful, simple white dress for the night. Yuyaki is wearing a black T-shirt with short shorts while Ushimaru is wearing a pink short dress. She drinks a small bottle of milk with her small cow friend in a bucket floating beside her. Yuyaki's raven perches on her arm, flapping its wings.

Kumi and Misato are about 10 feet away from the other two, sitting next to each other, being chill for once. Not one argument has started. They are content and just sitting next to each other, side by side. Misato even rests her head on Kumi's shoulder, closing her eyes. Nachi giggles and puts the telescope at the top of the hill.

"It's ready~" she says, gesturing towards it. "Whoever wants to go first~" Her soft, gentle voice reaches the highly trained ninja ears from Yuyaki.

"Okay…I'll go," the white haired girl says. She stands up to look through the telescope. "Oh, my. What beautiful stars. I have…never seen so many of them."

Ushimaru stretches out her arms and turns toward her best friend. "Ahhhhh…can I have a turn?"

"Fufu! You sure can~" Nachi beckons the little one to come forward. "Come. We aren't in a hurry~"

The laid back Senran stands up, stretches out her arms one last time and walks over next to her best friend. Yuyaki notices Ushimaru standing next to her and lends her the telescope.

"Anybody else?" Nachi turns toward Kumi and Misato. "How about you two?"

"Yeah, we'll be there in a bit," Kumi replies, waving her hand. "Misato's all sacked out."

Nachi giggles at the fact that the tanuki-like girl is now resting on Kumi's lap. She then turns toward Yuyaki and Ushimaru, who are taking turns looking through the telescope, discovering amazing things behind it. Lots of stars, some constellations and other things. She walks over toward them and wraps her arms around both of them.

"Having fun, you two~?" she asks.

"Yes, we are~" Yuyaki replies, smiling.

"Look at the stars is fuuuun~" Ushimaru says.

"Fufufu~! I'm glad," Nachi replies with a nod. "Why don't the three of us take a little break and lay down on the blanket I set up over there?" She gestures toward a warm, blue blanket next to a large tree.

Yuyaki and Ushimaru give a nod of approval and the three of them walk toward the blanket and lie down on it. Nachi in the middle, Yuyaki on her right and Ushimaru on her left. Looking to the side, she notices Kumi standing up with Misato doing the same, yawning. She just woke up from her nap. They head toward the telescope to check out the stars and take turns using it.

Ushimaru snuggles closer to the rich girl, nuzzling her face against her side. Nachi giggles, pets her and then turns toward her team leader.

"Thanks….for taking us out on this…wonderful night….Nachi-san…" the white haired girl says.

"No problem~" the cerulean haired girl replies. "A very nice time to relax."

"A nice time to relax…with the whole team~" Yuyaki corrects her.

"Fufu~!" Another giggle and then she turns to Ushimaru, who is already asleep. "Goodness, you're tired already? You just woke up about 20 minutes ago~"

"You know how…U-chan is…" Yuyaki shrugs with a smile.

"Well…I can't complain. You're too cute, you know that, Ushimaru-san~?" Nachi gently kisses her adorable, laid back teammate on the forehead. She then turns to her team leader. "And you, Yuyaki-san. You're cute too…when you don't go berserk. Fufu~!"

"N-Nachi-san….I can't help it…" the shy tanned girl blushes, slightly turning away and covering her face.

"Awwww, Yuyaki-san, don't be like that~" Nachi gently removes the team leader's hands from her face. "Look at me."

"Nachi…s-san…" Yuyaki breathes.

The two gaze into each other's eyes (well, Nachi's closed eyes) for a few minutes before the cerulean haired girl leans in and kisses her on the forehead. She pulls away with a giggle.

"I just felt like doing that because I love you so much~" Nachi says.

Yuyaki gives a small smile. "I…love you, too…Nachi-san. As much as I love U-chan…"

"Yes and I love Ushimaru-san as well~" she turns toward the bovine-like girl and pets her again. "I love you both, Yuyaki-san…Ushimaru-san. I want to look after you, including Misato-san and Kumi-san. I can be like your big sister~"

"Onee…san…?" Yuyaki tilts her head.

Ushimaru grips onto Nachi's dress, snuggling against her more. Apparently, she somehow heard it too. "Nachi….onee…chaaaan…"

Yuyaki and Nachi's hearts melt at her words. It's just too adorable. However, the adorable moment is short lived when they hear bickering…yet again from two certain teammates. Apparently, Kumi's teasing was too much for Misato and she couldn't take it anymore. Yuyaki stands up to stop the fight, but Nachi pulls her back, her smile never leaving her face.

"Let Onee-chan handle it~" the cerulean haired girl raises her hand to summon her fishing rod out of thin air. She casts it and somehow the hook attaches itself to Misato's panties and lifts them up.

"EEEK!" the tanuki girl squeaks, jumping up.

"Hahahaha!" Kumi bursts out laughing. "Nachi gave you a wedgie to make you stop whining! Hahaha…OWIE!" Unfortunately for her, she gets the same treatment.

Nachi pulls back her hook, unclipping the panties one by one, both now at the tip. She is still smiling and takes the panties from the hook and waves them around.

"You two shouldn't have been misbehaving~" she says. "Any more and you'll get more than just a wedgie~"

"I-is she mad?" Misato questions.

"Take a wild guess," Kumi throws her hands up in the air. "She TOOK our panties!"

"And you're going commando for the rest of the night as punishment~" Nachi says, her smile STILL not leaving her face. "Fufu~!"

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Kumi and Misato scream.

Yuyaki and Ushimaru, who woke up from all this shenanigans, huddle together, holding each other's hands.

"Yu-chaaaan….?" Ushimaru says.

"Sh-she said she'll handle it…" Yuyaki replies. "And…and….for the record…Kumi-san and Misato-san…shouldn't have gotten on Nachi-san's bad side…"

"How do you know she's mad….exactly?" the orange haired girl questions.

"Y-you'll learn soon enough…" Yuyaki replies.

A/N: New Link has done it~! Team Tohno is now complete! Which is why I wrote this. First time doing Nachi, so…hope this is good.

Have a nice day~!
