Nanami sat under the Kotatsu watching TV. Her bangs were getting quite long, it was a nuisance.

She pushed a bang aside and let her back fall against the floor.

In the hallway

Tomoe stomped down the hallway, angrily. That stupid snake had once again ruined his day.

He clenched his fists while holding the letter in his hand, almost crushing it.

He twitched his ears and sighed. ''Get yourself together!'' He said to himself.

Tomoe slid the rice-paper door open and glared at the goddess. Immediately she stood up in alert.

''Y-Yes?'' She gulped. Tomoe glared irritated and his vein popped. Tomoe handed her a letter that was from Himemiko. ''Read it.''

He groaned and started at the god's expression because it was from Himemiko.

Nanami's smile was way too big. ''A hot spring!'' She said in excitement almost losing her breath from being so happy. Tomoe glanced at her smile. For some reason, he always felt so weird and tingly inside whenever he saw her smile, it could light the whole world. It made him nuts. All he wanted to do was to taste that smile of hers... (Nick Jonas reference XD) Why this girl...

Tomoe twitched his ears. ''You can't go.'' He said, bursting her bubble.

Nanami felt herself sink to the ground by those words.

''But-'' She protested. Tomoe glared at her with his pale tanzanite eyes. His arms were crossed in his kimono.

''You have to finish your duties as a land god. I will not permit you to go to a hot spring without doing your duties.'' He said while already sliding the door to go out.

Before Nanami could say something, Tomoe was already gone.

She held her breath and coughed from doing it too long.

Nanami stared down at the floor. She tightened her fists. ''No...'' She said in a low voice. ''I will go to the hot spring! I will fight my hardest to go!'' She said proudly.

After awhile

Nanami laid on the floor, completely out of it. She had worked countless hours writing talismans and answering prayers!

Tomoe slid the door and raised his eyebrow at the goddess. He smirked.

''So you actually did your work.'' He said glancing at the piled talismans beside her. He bent down on his knees. With the tip of his long nail, he curled it with his finger up to his grip.

''Good Luck, Tranquility, Hope.'' He mocked boredly.

Nanami wailed, and pouted at his tone of voice. ''These suck.'' Tomoe admitted.

Nanami pouted even more and sat with a look of dis-hope. Tomoe glanced to the side of him. He sighed.

''You can go.'' He finally said to break the silence.

Nanami cocked her head as soon as he said 'go'.

She smiled widely and then pushed Tomoe out of the room. ''Thank you Tomoe! Now go! I need to change and pack!'' She said really fast.

Tomoe cocked his eyebrow and heard the slam right behind him.

''Hmmph.''

Later

Nanami packed her usual brown bag with clothes, towels, lotions, and too much extra stuff.

Tomoe sighed, ''Do you really need that much stuff? You act as if you are leaving on a vacation.''

Nanami laughed nervously, ''I guess...'' Her sweat dropped.

Tomoe blinked. ''Who is going with you?''

Nanami blinked slower. ''Himemiko?'' She said in a nervous yet questionable tone.

Tomoe shook his head. ''Nonsense. I will accompany you. I cannot trust you with another yokai.''

Nanami looked shocked. ''Himemiko is not that type of yokai!'' She said gasping.

Tomoe's vein popped. ''I will go with you.''

Nanami pouted, then sighed. ''Okay...'' She murmured.

Tomoe smirked.

In front of the Hot Spring Entrance

Nanami looked dumbfounded.

''MIXED.''

''BATH?!''

She wailed. ''I can't go to a mixed bath with Tomoe here!''

Tomoe rolled his eyes. ''That's why you shouldn't have came in the first place.''

Himemiko blinked at the two. ''Does thou have a problem?''

Nanami smiled at her and then sighed. ''I-It's fine I guess. I came to have fun with you anyway.'' She said why emphasizing the 'you'.

Tomoe scoffed. ''I don't get why you are such a baby about a simple bath.''

Nanami blushed. ''It's worse than you think!''

Tomoe cocked his eyebrows. ''What do you mean?'' He said while smirking.

Nanami's blush became deeper. ''N-Nothing! Why do you have to be so mean Tomoe!'' She wailed.

Himemiko clapped. ''Thou go get prepared in the dressing rooms.'' She said princess-like.

Nanami sighed while clenching her Bag's strap tighter.

In the dressing room (sigh)

Nanami took off her clothes. She grabbed the towel that was hanging on the hook.

She stared into the mirror and looked at herself.

She blushed at the thought of being bare in the hot spring with Tomoe.

Her chest wasn't as big as what the other girls have.

Her body wasn't as voluptuous and curvy as the other girls. She was 17 and getting there... Hopefully.

She turned to the back of her and stared back at the mirror. ''My hair is getting really long...It's going to be a burden.''

She sighed and then the blush was still spread across her cheeks.

The brunette got a metal barette and pinned her bangs up from her forehead so that it wasn't in the way.

She quickly wrapped the oh-so-short towel around her body. She squeaked at how short it was.

She sighed and wrapped her hands around the handle to open the door.

There was Tomoe, his back laid against the stony wall, which was directly by the hot spring. His bare chest was shown and the towel only cover his lower body. His chest was toned and firm. Nanami could not hold back her blush.

''W-Where is Himemiko?'' She said trying to act normal.

Tomoe raised his eyebrows. ''She got a message from Kotarou which was a date, and told me to tell you that she had to leave unfortunately. And here.''

Nanami twitched her hands and took the envelope. Nanami grimaced, and cursed herself for going.

Nanami rolled his eyes and his vein popped. ''I have bad feeling she set this up.'' She thought.

Nanami took a deep breath and tried not to look at Tomoe. ''Now let's go to the bath. Ha ha ha ha'' She laughed nervously and then coughed from doing it too hard.

Tomoe furrowed a slender eyebrow. Nanami blushed and then walked over to the rim of the hot spring.

''It's steamy.'' She said fascinated.

''Yes. Thats why it's called a hot spring.'' Tomoe said boredly. He sighed and then began to untie his towel off.

Nanami's heart skipped a beat. ''W-W-W-Wait T-Tomoe! Don't do it i-in front of m-me!'' She said with her face red as a tomato.

Tomoe twitched his ears. ''Fine.'' He smirked.

Nanami took a deep breath and as soon as he turned around she let her towel fall. Her eyes were closed of course.

She put one foot in.

Tomoe smirked in the hot spring. ''Stop being a scaredy cat. It's just hot water.''

Although he had no traces of being flustered. His animal instincts were driving him crazy. Any skin she has he wants to devour for himself. It makes him go crazy. He wanted her to be his. To hold her cheeks, and feel her breath and her whole being beside him. Her scent was poison to him. He groaned lightly at the stirring in his lower region.

Nanami froze and stared at Tomoe who was ALREADY in the water.

She quickly cover herself with her arms, flustered.

''T-Tomoe. How-'' She was yanked in the hot spring by Tomoe's hand.

Tomoe smirked. ''See.''

Nanami blushed and then pouted while shaking her head.

Nanami waddled through the spring and got two feet away from Tomoe.

He smirked.

Tomoe relaxed and sat his elbows on the rim of the spring while is hands dangled. His bangs her plastered to his forehead and his neck glazed. The water stopped at his rib cage.

Nanami got her face towel and laid it on her forehead.

Nanami closed her eyes and tried to relax. ''I should be relaxing. Just don't think about Tomoe.''

Nanami sighed into a light smile and let the hot water sink in to her silky skin.

Her breaths swayed like an angelic flower as her long her grazed down her chest.

Tomoe glanced at her. He observed every inch of skin and felt his heart race faster by the second.

I need to end it because I am about to faint. Literally. I'll post the next chap. when I wake up q.q Dang this might be my first lemon. Ah I suck at writing them though please forgive me...
