The Hot Spring Baths of Seireitei were well known for being the best, and Himawari could not help but feel pride in herself for scoring the whole place for the whole day for the Women’s association.

Good hot water, fantastic scenery, and the whole place to themselves, Himawari could only hope the others would be as happy as she was. She headed inside right away, wanting to get into the water as soon as possible.

Kaiyo ran as fast as she could round the corner, sliding quite a few times but she didn't mind too much; she was far to happy with finally getting to visit the hot springs, Himawari had even managed to get her out of paperwork for the entired day!

Kaiyo bounded along behind Himawari, calling her thanks as she went to find the best place to sit; the smell was humid and warm and steam covered the most part of the air.

Momo strolled casually into the water; the burning hot temperature just what she needed to relax. Her jet black hair even shining slightly through the water; the thick steam covered the most of the place as Momo heard footsteps she called, 'Over here' her voice happier than usual.

A pang of guilt ran through Momo as she regretting being so rude to Himawari after she had gone through the trouble of getting them off work and in the hot springs for the entire day; she'd thank her later.

Himawari was in the water as fast as she possibly could, sighing happily as her entire body relaxed. She looked over at Kaiyo and Momo, pleased to see that their faces were every bit as happy looking as Himawari felt, “Happy with my choice of day out?”

Her red hair fanned out on the water around her, almost looking like a pool of blood, as she lay backwards, sinking down ito the water.

Momo had her eyes shut but she still glanced over to keep checking when Himawari had appeared next to her. Sitting back up Momo wasn't completely sure where Himawari was, instead she just spoke and hoped she heard, becuase Momo didn't plan on repeating herself. 'About the meeting; I'm sorry it had just been a long day, I'm sure you know what i'm talking about' and with that Momo leaned back again, really enjoying her soak.

It wouldn't appear like much to anyone else, but that was as sincere as Momo got and she truly did like Himawari, despite how bossy she could be. Turning around slightly Momo thought out loud, 'Where did Kaiyo go?'

Kaiyo held her arms out in front of her so she didn't walk into anyone; she really wasn't used to being trapped in a steam covered room, Her towel wrapped securely around her she tapped her foot out in front of her to check it was solid ground. Kaiyo slumped down slightly when she realised she had some how gotten lost in the hot springs. Kaiyo strained her ears as she heard some voices near her; turning quickly on slippery floors wasn't her best idea.

Kaiyo had been lucky enough to fall into the water; a large wave rippling where she had fallen in she stood back up. Kaiyo giggled at her own clumsiness as she remembered she hadn't taken her headband off. Untying the ribbons she pulled it off with a sweeping noise and tied it safely around her wrist. 'Erm, anyone there?' she smiled nervously, it would be just her luck to walk into someone now.

((Oh, hot springs are out doors just to warn you both ))

“Over here Kaiyo,” Himawari called from the water, “We’re over here.” She knew the steam was thick, but it never occurred to her one of them might actually get loss in it. She giggled slightly, remembering exactly why she liked the shorter, blonde girl so much, “Come on, you haven’t answered my previous question. Have you been meeting that guy from the bar? What was his name? Leaden? Lodan?”

((OOC:......hmmm well thats unfortunate ))

Kaiyo smiled as she sat down; she still couldn't see a thing, but she guessed she was close; Kaiyo blushed as she thought, that means they heard me fall in! her akwards smile barely visible through the steam she nodded, 'yeah i met him again Becuase i took his academy class on a trip to the real world and Tozon and Leden didn't have a three so i had to carry Leden' Kaiyo's summary of the trip wasn't particularly great, all true, but given in an order which would likely confuse people.

kaiyo giggled slightly she really did like Leden, he seemed nice, 'So how about you two. Momo, Himawari, who do you both like?' Kaiyo grinned sneakily, trying to change the subject; although she was a Vice Captain Kaiyo was still only a child; and an aimmature one at that.

Momo felt a slight blush to her cheek, she didn't really know the male shinigami very well, in fact Momo didn't know that many people at all, but she had noticed one guy; not that she planned on telling everyone else like Kaiyo did. Momo thought back, she hadn't even met Leden, or she didn't think she had.

Momo could hear various faint conversations from around the hot springs, letting otu a logn stressful sigh she waited for himawari's answer, even though she already knew who she was going to say; or try not to say even.

((Traditional ones usually are ))

“Me?” Himawari smiled, leaning backwards to fix her gaze on the bright blue sky. It was perhaps early in the day for the hot springs, but she’d booked the whole day, so they may as well take advantage of it, “I’ve got no-one in particular.”

Momo raised one eyebrow at Himawari, 'Really, no one?' her voice was joking but still slightly serious. Momo shrugged and looked back at Kaiyo, 'So, Kaiyo, you and Leden then?'

((OOC: righto well how about the modern one? *searches for loophole* ))

Kaiyo cursed the breeze as it blew away just enough steam as her cheecks flushed red at Momo's question; and akwards smile painted across her face Kaiyo giggled slightly, 'Me and Leden?' she repeated; stalling had never been her stronpoint.

((Oh come on, who’s going to see?? Lol))

“Yep,” Himawari smiled at her, “You and Leden. I heard from one of the academy students, that you gave him a little peck on the cheek.” She grinned, “So spill!”

((OOC: xD i mean because its cold ))

Kaiyo's face dropped at Himawari's comment, running her hand through the back of her hair akwardly, Kaiyo had a bank of tactical knowledge inside her brain, but put on the spot about a guy and her mind turned to mush, 'I, erm, we' the blonde girl smiled weakly at Himawari, 'Tozon said that girls love the brave guys so Leden got hurt fighting a hollow so i kissed him on the cheek and made sure he was okay; that's all' Kaiyo figured she spoke fast enough for none of them to understand what she said.

Leaning backwards in the water Kaiyo fell straight down, seriously how come neither of them fell! she called to her herself as she sat up quickly from the scolding water; she was soaked and she kept falling everywhere. Despite her many clumsy moments Kaiyo couldn't help but smile, she really like Himawari's company, she was definately one of her closer friends, as for Momo well; kaiyo couldn't help but laugh at Momo's blunt rudeness.

Momo smirked at Himawari's comment; she was qite persuasive when she wanted to be, giggling at the embarassed blonde haired girl who had just admitted she liked an academy student and then fallen in water that was so shall they were all sitting down in.

Momo wouldn't let the small girl get away with just that though, 'So when are you next meeting him?' her voice an unusual tone; Momo felt calmed, relaxed and she was enjoying herself a lot.
