I smell some Charmikitty!!!!!!! Maybe they should just get together and forget about Yossy! She's already fine, leave her out of this.
heheheh...I think its about time to admit that Charmkitty is going to happen...
...but I can't leave Yossy out of the equation just yet...
CrypticShadow8: Yeah I was trying to be all random by throwing those two together (Yossy and Konno), but now I face the burden of trying to make their relationship 'make sense'. Since I haven't seen anyone else do the pairing (not to say someone hasn't...I just haven't seen it) I have to make up my own dynamics on how it could work...its a challenge, but I love challenges!
zay05ohayou: Heck yeah!!
With lots and Lots and LOTS of groping!
JFC :

katatsumuri: yay! Kata you commented on my story!

tru_harmony: hey tru, did you notice I did a little plug for you about someone who had 'dismantled and redirected' the signs?
Hmmm...Charmkitty operation name to think of I must (yoda speech is fun)...this is a hard one...um...I honestly can't think of a name for it...*gasp*
have I really lost all my creativity?!?!? lol
Everyone: anyways thanks for all the positive feedback guys, it really fuels me on and makes me want to post quicker for some reason...weird, right?
Ch 8When they reached the clearing that had the water sound, what they saw made them both gasp in wonder. The sight before them had such beauty. It was a little tropical paradise with a medium sized waterfall spilling over the edge of a cliff into a small pool of crystal clear water that spilled into a small river that trickled and tripped over rocks as it descended into the forest and disappeared. There many beautiful exotic brightly color red flowers miscellaneously adorning some of the shrubbery along the sides of the waterfall's cliff. And the sky! It was glorious, instead of blue and sunny it was filled with dangerous looking storm clouds the circled lazily above the oasis. There was a small flash hidden deep in their depths, but no sound of thunder followed, a sign that the worst part of the storm hadn't reached them yet.
Miki let out a low whistle. "This storm looks bad, we better hurry up and drink some water and get out of here…" she looked over at Rika to see that the other girl was way ahead of her, already kneeling by the waters edge dipping her hand in the stream and bringing water to her lips to drink. Miki sighed and started toward her but stopped in mid step when Rika removed her mini vest to reveal how the shear white blouse was clinging to her damp skin, becoming transparent. Then Rika did something to make the material disappear even more, she dipped her hat into the water filling it up and putting the dripping thing back on her head causing water to rush from the hat and slide down over her shoulders and beyond making the white shirt seem to disappear wherever the water hit.
Snapping out of her reprieve Miki sank down close to the other girl and began to drink some water herself, but not with out keeping Rika in sight out of the corner of her eye. Rika appeared unaware of the others scrutiny and was rubbing water on the back of her neck. She looked at Rika's now very damp, floppy hat and how it sagged low over her eyes and hung by the bridge of her nose, strands of her hair clinging to her damp neck and cheek. Miki smirked at how cute the other looked in that moment, finding it ironic that when Rika tries to be cute it's nauseating, but when she's just her natural self she can actually be very…sensual…
Miki's mouth suddenly felt very dry and it wasn't from the hiking. Feeling an urge she didn't think to fight, she slowly raised a hand and let her fingertips caress the soft, hot, damp skin of Rika's cheek. Her fingers gliding and capturing one of the clinging strings of wet hair, then dipping her fingers under the hat, she pushed the brunette strand behind a delicate ear.
Rika turned her head towards Miki, the hat still veiling her eyes and half of her flushing face from view. Her lips parted slightly and hot shuddery, breaths slipped through them. Her response to the gentle touch was masked by the hat's lapel.
The low rumble of thunder rolled through their oasis, but neither noticed, they were caught in the hypnotizing mood of the moment. Miki wanted to see the eyes of the girl in front of her, so lifting her hands she grabbed the bottom edge of the hat and pulled it up. She was afraid she would see disgust or fear in the other's eyes, yet the emotions there were anything but. Heat, desire, abandon...it was a gaze full of invitation and no consequences…Miki was drawn in by them, then glancing at the other's trembling moist lips, she began to lean forward, an ache starting to build within.
A cool drop of liquid on her arm gave her pause though, and her mind was too in a fog to register what it was from, it wasn't until even more cool drops hit her that she finally realized something was happening. "What?" She murmured slowly coming out of the weird spell she was under.
Rika too seemed to be recovering from the strange mood and was looking around. "Did the temperature just drop suddenly?" She asked as she held out her hand, sure enough a couple of drops hit it. She gasped and looked at Miki in Horror.
They had both realized the same thing too late. "Rain!" They cried in unison.
Miki jumped up and grabbed Rika's hand. "We've gotta get out of here!" She cried, but it was too late. As if the heavens just couldn't possibly hold it in anymore the sky opened up and a torrential amount of water began pouring down.
Rika let out a small scream while throwing an arm over her head.
Miki began to quickly drag the other from the oasis, "We need to find shelter fast!" Lightening suddenly tore above them bringing with it an earsplitting sound of thunder. "Come on!"
"I'm scared!" Rika confessed.
"It's okay, just stay with me, I'll find us a safe place to stay…" Miki said that with more confidence then she felt. Truthfully she had no idea which way to go, but she knew showing any signs of weakness to the other girl would just freak her out even more.
When they got back to the road Miki let go of the trembling Rika's hand and pulled out the map. It was almost impossible to see with all the rain and darkness from the clouds, in fact it was probable the sunset had already happened…it was hard to tell. She made a mental note of where the oasis had been and took out the map to see if it would give them a clue on if they're in the right path. The sky once again lit up brightly and the thunder's crack was so sharp Miki had to wince from the sound. She suddenly found her self being dragged by Rika off the road and under a huge tree that blocked out a lot of the rain.
"You'll be able to look at the map better if you don't have the rain pouring all around you!" Rika yelled over the loud roar of rain.
Miki shook her head. "Don't you know that you're not supposed to hide under trees during thunderstorms?!" Miki hollered back.
"Its just temporary until you read the map!" Rika reasoned loudly.
Nodding Miki went back to looking at the map in her hands. Now that she didn't have so much rain in her face it really was easier. Spotting the oasis on the map she groaned. They were definitely on the wrong trail, had they been on the blue trail they would have been at the flower all ready. Instead, going by the position of where the oasis was, they were currently traveling the red trail, they had taken the wrong turn a long time ago and the end of this trail is no where near, However, just up a ways was a fork with the green trail that led to the abandoned settlement, maybe one of those hutches are usable and can give them shelter from the rain. It was worth a shot. "Okay" she yelled putting away the map. "Let's go!"
Miki strode a few paces away before she realized that the other girl didn't follow her. "What's wrong?!" She yelled back at the terrified girl.
Timidly and without a word Rika held her hand out.
Miki sighed and marched back towards Rika, and taking her hand began to walk quickly towards their destination.
Since Miki already knew which way to go without consulting the map it didn't take them very long to reach the old village and saw several little thatched huts that still seemed to be in great condition lined up there. Apparently someone has been keeping up and taking care of them, but Miki didn't really care. Walking to the first hut closest to them Miki practically dived in with Rika in tow.
The place was dry and clean with hard wood floors and wood for the walls as well, and the area was about the size of the average person's living room. It really wasn't a lot of space to work with, but it was enough.
Miki collapsed face first and let at a long, exaggerated groan.
Rika laughed and nudged the overdramatic girl with her foot. "Haha…you look like a drowned rat."
Miki didn't bother lifting her head and just shrugged in response.
Rika paused in the middle of the room to rub at her aching thighs, their little sprit from the trail to here had been quite difficult, but both were so motivated by the rain that neither had bothered to slow down. Then taking off her hat she plopped it unceremoniously on the floor.
The sound got Miki's attention and she looked up just in time to see Rika raise her arms above her head and start wringing out her hair. Miki stared transfixed on the practically invisible white blouse and how it did nothing to hide the other girls bikini clad torso from view.
Suddenly Rika gasped and covered her chest with her hands.
Miki's eyes widened. Did Rika catch her peeping? "I wasn't staring at them I swear! Well, maybe a little, but it's not like that's a crime. I just…" but Rika wasn't listening to her babble.
"My vest!" She cried. "I must have left it at the waterfall!"
"You're vest?" Miki climbed to her feet, wincing as she put weight on her aching legs. "It's no biggie, after the rain stops we'll go back and get it…until then…are you hungry?"
Rika touched her bare tummy and nodded. "I'm starving I didn't think to bring food."
Miki shook her head sympathetically. "Rika, Rika, Rika…my poor, sadly unprepared friend…how loudly you scoffed at my bag and boy scout motto, yet…here we are." Taking her pack off her back she placed it on the floor and pulled out a watermelon that was just a few sizes larger then a football. She held it up for the other to see. "Mmmm…yummy looking isn't it?"
"Yes." Rika said.
"…and you would just love a little bitty bite wouldn’t you?"
"Yes." Rika whimpered.
"Ha ha! Well too bad! You should have thought of that before you teased me! Hmph!" Miki placed the watermelon on the floor near the doorway.
"Miiikiii…" Rika pouted grabbing the other's arm. "I let you use my map didn't I?"
Miki tried to stare hard hearted into the rain, but a smile fought its way to her lips giving away the non threat.
"Ah ha!" Rika grinned brightly, pointing at the smiling mouth.
Miki laughed pushing the pointing hand away. "Of course I'm going to share with you. Did you think I brought a watermelon this size for only myself?"
Rika clapped her hands and yelled a quiet. "Yaaay…"
"But…" Miki said holding up a hand "let's get changed first…"
"Oh…I…uh…didn't bring a change of clothes with me…"
Miki shrugged already diving into her bag and pulling out different items. "Not my problem…walk around naked for all I care…" she pulled out a pair of sweats and felt it critically, "Hmm…these are damp as well, but they're still dryer then what I'm wearing now…" She lifted her shirt over her head.
Rika's eyes widened as she watched Miki take her shirt off, the damp bra clung tightly to her chest and Rika could make out the dark circles of…she turned around suddenly, feeling heat rising in her body turning her face red. She busied herself with removing her own soaked clothes. Quickly unbuttoning her blouse she threw it on the floor next to her hat, then she started on her buckle…she felt so aroused for some reason, even her hands were trembling too much to remove the belt.
"What's wrong, too cold? Here I'll do it…"
Rika looked up in surprised to see Miki approaching wearing nothing but the sweat pants and her almost see through bra. Rika gulped, cheeks burning as the other girl pushed away her hands and began to work on the buckle herself. Rika diverted her eyes towards the wall trying to keep her breathing under control, she felt her belt being loosened and then slowly removed from her waist. The belt fell to the floor with a loud thump, but Miki wasn't done yet. Rika sucked in her breath when she felt Miki's fingers dipping into the top of her shorts to undo the button. Once that was taken care of those fingers lingered touching her flesh, then lightly and slowly they began to climb her abdomen causing her abs to twitch at the gentle warm touch. The hands suddenly froze mid movement and Miki leapt away as if burned.
"Well that's it!" Miki said loudly. "I think you can get the rest!" She walked away quickly over to the watermelon, pointedly ignoring Rika pushing her shorts down and kicking them over to the rest of her clothes. Picking up the sweat shirt Miki tossed it to the bikini clad girl. "Here wear this…"
Rika looked at Miki puzzled. "I thought these sweats were for you? Why would you give this to me?"
"…Because…I…can't…" Miki turned to look at the other, but turned away instantly, shoulders arched stiffly. "…would you just put it on already!?" Then added under her breath, "
I'm trying to be good here…"Shrugging Rika obeyed and pulled the dark green sweat shirt over her head, pulling the bottom of the shirt to her waist. Now all that was visible was the bottom half of her body, wearing the red bikini bottoms…
Miki looked at the other girl dourly. "This is gonna be a long night…." She muttered.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Konno sat in the middle of her bed staring at the raging storm out side the large glass doors that led to the balcony. She couldn't help but chew her lip worriedly. She really hoped her friends were doing all right out there.
She ran a hand over the soft fluffy surface of her warm pajamas. It was always nice to put on a pair of just out of the dryer clothes after taking a bath, but it made her feel a little ill to know that while she was sitting here so comfy and warm, Rika and Miki were out there freezing and wet, facing a torrential down pour….
She whimpered slightly and tucked her legs to her chest and hugged them. She rested her chin on her knees, silently praying that the storm would pass soon. She lifted her head in surprise when the door swung open and her girlfriend waltzed in. "Yossy? What's up? Shouldn't you be in your room?"
Yossy took long confident strides towards the bed and planted a small affectionate kiss on the other girl's full pouty lips. "Hey love…" Yossy lifted up the edge of her black t-shirt and pushed a hand into her jean's pocket and pulled out a room key. "Here, this is my new room's key. I traded with somebody so I'm gonna need the old key back so I can give it to the new owner…"
Konno looked down at then room number on the new key curiously, amusement played across her face. "Why would you trade rooms with someone who's two floors above this one?"
Yossy didn't answer, she was too preoccupied. Walking over to a side table, she began opening the drawers and shifting through the contents. "I can't find your key anywhere. Hm, where do you keep it any…ways…" A stunned looking Yossy slowly pulled her hand from a drawer and lifted out a pair of very scandalous looking lacy panties.
Konno gasped when she saw what her girlfriend was holding. Leaping out of the bed she snatched the garment from the other girl's fingers. Her cheeks blazing, she stuffed the panties back into the drawer and slammed it shut. "It's certainly not in my underwear drawer!" she huffed. Konno walked over to her purse and opened it. From somewhere inside she pulled out the old key. "Here, sweetie…"
Yossy took the key happily.
"So? Why are you switching rooms?" Konno asked again.
Yossy shuddered. "Let's just say that after talking with Abe I've decided that this floor is no longer to my liking…"
"Not the snake story that's cycling around." Konno walked over and touched Yossy's elbow. "Honey, you don't believe that do you? Didn't the hotel director tell Abe and everyone else that that story was fabricated?"
Yossy turned around and placed her hands on Konno's shoulders. "Of course he wants us to believe that! He wouldn't want to lose customers…it’s a conspiracy, I tell you! Heh, and even if its not…I just don't want to take the chance…" Yossy paused when she noticed that Konno's eyes seem a little upset. She reached up and held the younger girl's jaw in her hands. Gently she rubbed her thumbs over her cheeks. "What's wrong?"
Konno pressed her lips together and shook her head.
"Is it because I'm moving up two floors? If so, I can go back to Koharu and say the switch is off."
Again Konno shook her head. "No, it not that it's just…the storm…I want it to stop raining…"
Yossy didn't quite understand why the storm was bothering her love, but it didn't matter. Tenderly she wrapped her arms around the smaller girl's shoulders and pulled her tightly into an embrace. Then she kissed the top of Konno's head, while the arms of the other girl wound themselves around Yossy's waist. Quietly Yossy whispered into Konno's ear… "I can't make the rain stop, Konkon, but…I don't have to stop holding you till it does…"
Konno breathed in deeply, enjoying the intoxicating aroma of the person she loved…it was time to tell Yossy about what she had been doing the past couple of days. Regretfully she pulled back slightly, "Actually…there's something I need to tell you…in fact, there's something I need your help with…"
