New chappie! YAY!

Later that night they all sat in the den, the lake had a clear luminous glow to it, that warm luminous glow that water gets at night (y’know the way a pool glows at night).

Everybody was sitting around the fighter except for Hanami and Katsuro, Saruka had told them about a hot springs a little further from the den.

Hanami submerged her body into the warm hot springs and sighed, Katsuro was already in there he watched Hanami with interest “have I told you… you look beautiful lately?”

He wrapped his arms around her ready to kiss her neck, but Hanami squirmed out of his embrace and swam to the other side, he gave her a questioning look, Hanami chuckled.

“Nu-uh-uh” she wagged her finger “I’ve already given you your treat, you don’t get anything tonight”

“Oh c’mon Hanami! Can I at least hold you?”

Hanami thought about it for a second “fine, but don’t to start anything tonight, alright? I’m tired”

Katsuro swam over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, but he just couldn’t resist so he cupped her chin and started to kiss her cheek.

“I though I told you not to start something” Hanami’s eyes were closed, though she was fully awake, somewhat.

“I’m not, I just want to kiss you”

“That’s still starting something”

“No it isn’t”

“Yes it is”

“No it isn’t, Bun-head”

“Whatever” Hanami scowled, she liked it, but hell she was tired, if he was successful at starting something she swore she would fall asleep in that hot spring.

Katsuro started to kiss her neck roughly; to Hanami it was almost irresistible; her body unconsciously turned towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck as he continued to taste the area around her jaw line and below. She moaned at his embrace around her waist, but it was that moment that Katsuro chose to tease the girl.

“Well, I guess we should get back to the others right?”

Hanami gave him a look of disbelief as he swam away from her smirking, he was about to lift himself out of the hot springs, but Hanami pulled him right back in, she wrapped her hands around his neck again “Oh no you don’t, your not going anywhere”.

Katsuro placed a cocky grin on his face, his fangs showing” I knew you couldn’t resist me” Hanami rolled her eyes, she was about to say something but the boy wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and with a growl, attacked her mouth with his own.

Well, I think we should leave them alone for now, huh?

Back at the den, the fire was lit and there was food like fish, fruits and berries, Suzume’s strength came in handy since she was able to crush the oranges for orange juice.

They all surprisingly seemed to be having fun listening to Saruka’s stories about what she’s been doing on the island, apparently she had a friend with her named Kimi Fuyuyama, they all met her before Hanami and Katsuro went out to the hot springs

“…and that’s what happened!” Saruka finished her tale, Suzume was leaning on Haruki’s shoulder, Takai was sitting on one of the stones while Hamono and Saruka sat cross legged on one of the mats Saruka had managed to weave.

Suzume and Haruki laughed, Takai snickered, even Hamono chuckled, they were silent for a second, but then Suzume spoke up “How long do you guys think Katsuro and Hanami will be at that hot spring”

Takai sneered at no one in particular

Haruki shuddered, still trying to forget his last encounter with them

Hamono snorted “probably hours”

A girl with long black braided hair and green eyes came in, that was Kimi “well, I just saw the other two you were with, they’re still in the hot springs”

“And?”

“They’re all over each other…”

“predictable” Hamono drank up the last of her orange juice and stood up “well, I think I’ll retire for the night, I’m pretty tired”

They all chimed in agreement. Hanami and Katsuro didn’t come in till about 2 in the morning.

“Did you guys have fun?” the two turned around where they heard the mocking voice, Hamono had a knowing smirk on her face before turning back to go to sleep.

I like this chappy, but I think next chappy I’ll turn the spotlight to the others and let Hanami and Katsuro have a rest, the story can’t all be about them. Any ideas? Tell me!
