Chapter Six: Hawaii Day One


Kyo\'s POV


I was sleeping with Yuki pulled up to me, the covers were soft and the pillows so fluffy. Then I felt it. A large flying object dropped out of the sky to land directly onto my hip, and it made the most frightening sound, as it yelled. \"Otousan, I\'m hungry!\" I moaned and pulled the covers over my head, as I anticipated the two similar projectiles that would soon follow Yuuhi into our room. Yuki reached around to pinch my side and I jumped. The covers moved as Tsuki pulled them away from my face, and regarded me. \"Otousan, are you sleeping?\" I looked at his little face all pinched with concern, and smiled at him.

\"No, Otousan isn\'t asleep anymore. Let\'s go get you all dressed so we can get some breakfast. Oi, I hope they have something edible here. \" I knew that we were out of our element, but I hated western breakfasts. All that pork and fats, and ick eggs. Not a fit breakfast for my family. I pulled the covers away as Yuuhi went and brought me my robe. The boys ran through the entry area of the suite and crashed through the doors to their room. It was a mess, the covers were off the beds and it looked like they had been jumping on them. I was not happy about this. I never allowed the boys to treat the furnishings of others this way. \"What has been going on in here?\"

\"Kato started it.\" Yuuhi\'s pat answer. \"He threw a pillow at me.\"

\"I see. And how did the covers end up on the floor?\"

\"Tsuki was playing ghost.\" Kato answered.

\"And who were the circus trapeze artists on the trampolines?\" by the look on my face the boys knew they were in for it. No one answered that, and that would mean it had been a joint venture. \"Okay, get this cleaned up and I will be back to check on you. You boys know better.\" and I left them to go and dress.

Yuki was not in evidence when I returned to the bedroom, he was in the bathroom and his suit case was open on the bed. I peeked at it\'s contents, and lifted a small yellow top, and some orange skirt or something. I didn\'t recognize anything, but that didn\'t surprise me, as he had bought all new for the trip. \"Yuki?\" I called at the door.

\"Huh?\" he answered. I knew that sound, he was doing one of those things neither one of us wanted me to see.

\"Let me know when I can come in and shave. Okay?\" I crossed to my own suitcase and opened it on the other end of the bed. I had just gotten my clothes for the day all together when Yuki called from the door.

\"Come on in, I have to shower now.\" And I layed the things out and went to shave.


Once I had finished, Yuki had come out of the shower to watch me for a while. Then, I went to check on the children. They had put the room to rights, as best three three year olds could manage, and I chose their clothes and sent them to the bath. I took my shower and dressed, the boys had finished bathing and dressing and were ready to go, as Yuki came out of the other room.

I stopped and stared at him. He was a vision. He wore the bright yellow top that was more strap than top and a pale yellow print skirt. An amazing amount of stomach was showing and the top was cut so low that the edges of those amazing enhancements pushed right out into view. The skirt was opened in the front and the slit went from the bottom to about half way up his thigh, and he wore yellow sandals and a hat. The hat was a large thing, probably more for shade than anything else, Yuki burned in the sun. His neck, arms and ankle were decorated with some form of twine and shells. He slipped on sunglasses and hoisted a large bag over his shoulder as he regarded the children. He nodded at them to say he approved and headed for the door. I followed the children as they headed out behind him.

\"Where shall we go today? I was thinking we should take that bus tour tomorrow, and maybe see the volcano. But, today, what do you think?\" The boys had all expressed a desire to see a volcano, and where they grow pineapples. I had another idea, and when Yuki asked this I made the suggestion.

\"How about we go see that playground Grandma told us about and then do some shopping. I think we can find some sand toys to take to the beach later. And we have a lot of souvenirs to buy. Then we can relax on the beach and there is a luau tonight.\" Yuki turned and smiled at me then, he had wanted to go to a luau and it was unusual for me to remember shopping. So it was decided. After a good breakfast at the hotel buffet table we went in search of the playground.

Shopping after playing, we managed to buy enough trinkets for each person on our extensive list. I even managed to find some things for my Yuki at a shop or two. The children were thrilled by the new sand toys and we took our purchases to the room to change for the beach.

Yuki\'s POV


I had finally figured it out. As long as I kept from becoming too excited, I could pull this off. Kyo\'s idea of shopping was the answer. I found something at a shop and it would be perfect. When we returned to the room I changed and by the time we gathered at the door I was ready. It would be a little uncomfortable, but I could stand it. And I was not concerned about anything coming loose or falling off. The spirit gum was waterproof and the new item was made just right to hold and didn\'t stretch when wet. I checked myself in the mirror before exiting the bedroom. I turned and checked my profile. There was nothing, no evidence of my sex. I shook my head and smiled at myself. Kyo would be mystified. I grabbed my skirt and wrapped it around myself and headed out the door. Kyo gave me an odd look as I came into view. He circled me and clucked his teeth.

\"Interesting choices.\" His finger traced the ties of my bikini top. It was of purple lycra and very revealing. \"Is this what I think it is?\" I nodded slyly. \"Hmmm. I like it, but will it be alright? I mean you don\'t have to. I was only kidding, you know?\" I nodded again and reached for Kato\'s hand.

\"I know just what you were doing, let\'s go boys, Okaasan wants to go swimming.\" and we were off.

It was late afternoon and the beach wasn\'t crowded as we prepared for the picnic lunch that the hotel provided. I was putting down the large terry cloth blanket and Kyo was lathering the sunscreen on the boys. When I had placed the basket down, I reached to the ties to my skirt and Kyo turned to watch me. I slowly let it slide down, and kicked my sandals off. \"Do you suppose you could help me with some of that? I would hate to burn in places I forgot I had.\" Kyo smiled and gestured me in front of him. I sat down and he squeezed out a generous portion and held it before me. I reached up to gather a handfull from his palm and we both covered my exposed areas of skin. He was leaning over me as I sat there, and I could feel his breath on my shoulder. I had never been so aware of all the ways that Kyo could make my body react, as when I had to avoid it at all costs. \"Kyo, do me a favor. Don\'t breathe on my shoulder. Just for this afternoon. \" I turned to see him giving me the most shocked look, and I smiled at him \"It is just a little too distracting, you know?\" He looked down at me, and then smiled wide as he nodded.

\"I get it. No fun till you are out of sight, huh? It must be uncomfortable, eh? \" He said this with his head so close it set my skin to tingling. I shook my head, and glared bullets at him.

\"Not right now, but if you keep doing that it would be. And then it might cause me some problems for later.\"

\"Okay, I get it, don\'t kill me just yet. I have to take the boys swimming. Um, could you just turn around then?\" I was confused by that, but I turned my head and Kyo stood and pulled off his shirt, just as well as the sight of him undressing could be a bit more than I could take, although I thought I was stronger than that. I felt the shift in air as the shirt was sent onto the blanket and Kyo shifted some more, why? I thought he was wearing his swim shorts, in fact I was sure of it. I was about to turn and see, when he stopped me. \"Just a second more. Hang on. I need that towel.\" He reached out and took a towel from the stack and when I turned he was headed off with the boys in tow. Wearing a very small blue speedo suit, my mouth dropped open. Oh, but my little kitten was something. He had wanted to surprise me and I had messed it up. Oh well, I rose and walked to the water, watching him with Tsuki and Yuuhi hanging on his shoulders as he held Kato aloft in the waves. I laughed as the boys pulled him under just enough to have him coughing and them laughing.

\"Hey, don\'t just stand there. I need another life raft for them.\" I slowly made my way into the waves. The water was cool and I was only as far as my thighs when a voice called out.

\"Kyo are you teaching them to swim or trying to drown?\" I turned and saw Rand walking toward us, he was out of uniform, dressed in a pair of long hawaiian print swim trunks, and a ball cap. \"Could you use a hand?\"

\"Hey, Rand-san, come take one of these little assassins. Before they kill me.\" This sent the boys into hysterical laughter, and it was contagious, I couldn\'t help laughing and as he passed me, Rand smiled in shared humor. He reached Kyo before the danger of his own children overcame him. I stood in the shallows watching as they tossed the boys about in the ocean. When the men were tired enough, they brought the giggling boys back toward me, and we invited Rand to join our lunch, which was waiting on our blanket.

\"Are you off for the day, Rand-san?\" Kyo asked him. I was taking out the sandwiches for the boys.

\"Actually I have a whole week off and since I live nearby, I come here a lot. I am not a Hawaiian native, but I couldn\'t resist living here after one of my flights.\" He smiled genuinely when talking about his home. I handed him a sandwich, and a bottle of beer.

\"So, where are you from, then Mr. McFarley?\" I asked.

\"Please, call me Rand. I am no MR. I was born in Sydney, Australia. I started working for the airlines when I got out of school and I moved here two years ago.\" He started in on the sandwich. Kato picked up his lunch and crossed to plop down on Rand\'s lap. \"Hey, sit more carefully mate. I can\'t take much of that. How do you do it?\" I smiled into my sandwich as Kyo rolled his eyes.

\"Steel belted jock straps.\" I said. The two of them stared at me. I looked up at them innocently. Kyo started laughing and Rand stared at him like he was crazy. I ate my sandwich. It was swiss cheese and delicious.

\"Oh, Rand, lighten up. We are nuts, so don\'t worry about thinking we are. Yuki what do you think? Does he deserve it or not?\" I glanced at him over my sunglasses. The boys had finished eating and Yuuhi was falling asleep on Kyo\'s lap. Tsuki was watching some lady yell at a small dog that was barking at her. Kato had gotten off of Rand and was digging in the sand near our location. I looked back at Kyo, who was watching me questioningly, and Rand who was looking from Kyo to me and back.

\"Whatever, in this outfit he would never believe you. You know it might be interesting to see how you plan on convincing him, and I won\'t be helping you.\" I had packed the basket back up and turned to recline on my towel, my sunglasses over my eyes. I pretended to ignore them all.

:::NO, I don\'t plan on explaining the tight little piece of clothing, just yet. Suffice to say at this point, I do a little sewing and I have some odd ideas. This was actually from a storyline that is still trapped in my limited brain storage space. :::
