 Miori's School Field Trip

   By Emi Tsuruta

   Note: this is one in a series of posts about my life.  If you'd like to
know more about my friends and me, please drop by my home page at:

   This time, instead of telling you about my own life, I'd like to tell
you about my friend Miori.  I first met Miori at a Shinto festival my
boyfriend Ryosuke took me to in Tokyo.  She is a sweet girl, cute, kind and
generous.  The two of us hit it off immediately, and we've become quite
close.  She goes to the same college as Keisuke, Ryosuke's younger brother.

   One story she told me was about her class's field trip to a hot spring
in Nagano.  It was her first big trip away from her parents, and she and
her friends were all excited.  They stated in an inn, sort of like a ski
chalet up in the mountains.

   The day of the trip they gathered at Shinjuku station.  Miori was
standing on the platform with her friends Mina and Chiaki, whom I've never
met.  Mina is kind of the leader of their group, maybe rich, but a bit
different from other girls, a bit of a wild card.  Chiaki is more innocent
and impressionable, kind of like my friend Asuna from the sound of it.

   Anyway, another girl, Izumi, snuck up behind Keisuke, and covered his
eyes, trying to make him guess who it was.  I don't know if Izumi is
Miori's friend, but she is cheerful and cute, and gets along with everyone
pretty much.  Maybe she likes Keisuke, but he just seemed annoyed at having
his eyes covered.  I guess he's still young.

   Anyway, Izumi gave up, and when they got on the train, she sat with
Miori and them.

   "What happened to your boyfriend?" Miori asked Izumi.  "I thought you
were going out with some college boy."

   "Yeah," Izumi sniffed.  "I broke it off, but he's still hassling me. 
Now I'm interested in someone else."

   "So I saw," Miori replied, nodding towards Keisuke.  "I wouldn't get too
hung up on him though if I were you.  His brother's a bit of a perv." She
meant Ryosuke.  Ryosuke is nice enough, but I've told Miori all these
stories about him, so she kind of thinks he's strange now.  Even so, I
think Miori has a crush on Keisuke, and was just trying to scare off her
rival.

   "What do you mean?" Izumi asked.

   "He's into all this kinky stuff.  He's always trying to get his
girlfriend to go commando or sunbathe topless and stuff." (Sigh.  Ryosuke
does have other good qualities too).

   Izumi looked over at Keisuke, but didn't say anything.  Miori wasn't
sure if she'd convinced Izumi, but at least she'd tried.

   They eventually arrived at the inn.  It was a beautiful setting
surrounded by trees on a picturesque mountainside.  Their teacher Mr. 
Hanezono put Miori, Izumi, Mina, Chiaki and two other girls Yuriko and
Yoshie all together in the same room.  Miori, Izumi and Mina headed out to
take a look around the inn.  On the second floor, there was this big
Japanese-style meeting room with tatami mats.  Out the window down below,
you could see the guys' outdoor bath.  There wasn't anyone there, but it
was kind of strange that it was right there in full view of the rooms.  The
women's outdoor bath was smaller, but it was down around the corner
shielded by this big bamboo fence.  Miori, Izumi and Mina headed back to
their room, got changed into their yukatas, and came back to have a bath.

   Where the bamboo wall ended, the pool deck opened out onto this steep
treed hill going straight down.  At first, Miori wondered if someone could
come up that way to try to spy on them, but Izumi and Mina didn't seemed
too concerned.  They all stripped out of their yukatas, and showered off
inside.

   Anyway, soon the three of them heard the boys shouting and horsing
around on the other side of the bamboo fence.  Izumi, stark naked, got up
out of the bath, and went over to take a peek around the edge of the wall.
At first, Miori and Mina kept motioning for Izumi to come back, but soon
their curiosity got the better of them, and they got out, and went over to
take a peek too.  Unfortunately, they had to pull back before Miori could
see anything, because Izumi started giggling uncontrollably, and they were
worried the boys would hear her.

   "Who's there?  Who's there?" Mina asked anxiously.

   "I don't know," Izumi said.  "But I saw one boy's wienie." They all
broke out laughing, but then the boys starting yelling over at them, so
they had to settle back down.  Soon though, it was time for supper.

   After supper, they went out for a nature walk, and then had to come back
to their room, and write about it for class.  Once they finished, they
changed into t-shirts and shorts, got out their futons, and spread them out
on the tatami floor.  One of the quieter girls, Yuriko was fooling around
with her camcorder.  Yoshie, who'd just come back, asked them, "So what did
you guys do today?"

   "Izumi was trying to peek in on the boys in the baths," Miori teased.

   "Oh come on.  You were even more eager than me," Izumi countered.  Mina
tried to break it up, but soon they all started hitting each other with
their pillows.  They all seemed to be on a bit of a natural high.

   "So did you see anything?" Chiaki, the youngest girl, asked.

   "No.  Bonehead here kept giggling," Miori complained mugging at Izumi.
"I thought the boys were going to come around the wall after us."

   "You would have liked that, wouldn't you?" Izumi cried, still razzing
Miori.  Mina stopped them from fighting though.

   "So what do you girls do for fun?" Yoshie asked.  Yoshie is a bit of an
outsider according to Miori.

   "Do you want to play a game?" Miori suggested.

   "Does anyone have any cards?"

   "No."

   "OK, let's just play yakyuuken," Miori suggested.  'Yakyuuken' is a song
and dance you do while playing 'Rock Paper Scissors' except the loser has
to strip off an item of clothing.  I was a bit surprised when Miori told me
she suggested this.  She seemed really shy the first time I met her, but I
guess it is a popular game in Japan.  You see it on TV a lot.  Also, this
was probably right after I told Miori about playing strip poker with
Ryosuke, Futoshi and them, so probably that was on her mind.

   Anyway, Yoshie wasn't into it, and got up, and left.  The other five of
them looked at each other, and broke out laughing.  Once they stopped
laughing, Miori held up her fist getting ready to play.

   "You weren't serious, were you?" Chiaki objected.

   "Sure.  Come on.  It'll be fun." Miori held up her hand until everyone
else did the same.  Yuriko apparently got out her smartphone, and started
videotaping them.  Miori even sent me a copy of the video.  I was
fascinated.  I mean I've done some strange things, but I didn't know other
girls play these games too.  Miori explained it all as if it was the most
natural thing.  I was even more surprised they all went along with it. 
Most of my friends are shyer I think.  I guess they were away from home, so
they wanted to do things they couldn't usually.

   Anyway, they all chanted,

   "Yakyuu suru nara kou iu guai ni shiyashanse.  Out!  Safe!  Yoyoi no
yoi!" This is the song you sing just before revealing what you chose with
your hand.  It means something like 'if you are going to play baseball,
play it like this.  Out!  Safe!  Here we go!'

   The first couple rounds they kept tying.  When you have five players,
this happens a lot because usually someone will put out at least one of
each.  Rock breaks scissors.  Scissors cut paper.  Paper wraps rock.  If
there is no clear winner, you just go again, chanting 'Aiko deshou' - 'It's
a tie.' Finally, Chiaki and Yuriko lost.  They played off, and, Yuriko
lost. She immediately complained,

   "Oh this is a silly game.  Why are we playing this?" It sounded like
Yuriko just wanted to video it, and not actually play herself.

   "Oh, you're just sore because you lost," Mina taunted.  Yuriko sat there
sulking for a while, but finally took off her t-shirt.  She was wearing a
white camisole and bra underneath.

   "Hey!  No fair!  You're wearing more clothes than the rest of us," Miori
objected.

   "I'm not the one who suggested this game," she countered.  Mina piped
up.

   "Anyway, never mind.  Let's just play."

   Mina lost her t-shirt.  The next time Izumi lost, she bowed her head
down, and stared at them.  She's apparently quite the little temptress.

   Izumi pulled off her t-shirt.  She had on a half-cup bra, so you could
see the top of her breasts.  Miori thought Izumi might quit, but
eventually, Izumi nodded for the game to go on.  Chiaki lost next, and had
to take off her t-shirt.  Her bra was smallish too, and the other girls
kind of teased her.  Yuriko lost her socks, and then Chiaki had to give up
her shorts.  Her panties were large with blue and white stripes.

   Izumi lost next, got up, and made like she was going to take off her
shorts, but then looked back at the camera, obviously self-conscious about
being videoed.  She disappeared into the bathroom.  Mina mugged for the
camera while the rest of them waited.  Izumi came back out in these teeny
bikini panties.  The other girls all murmured, but as I said, Izumi seems
to be a bit of a playgirl, compared to the rest of them.  Through all this
Miori was giggling like crazy because she still had all her clothes on. 
Izumi lost again, and everyone laughed.

   "It's OK.  It's OK.  I don't mind." She took off her bra.  Her breasts
were small, but quite sexy-looking with soft pink nipples.  She looked a
bit excited even.  The next round, Izumi finally got a break; Miori lost
for the first time.

   "Finally!" Mina exclaimed.  Miori pulled off her t-shirt, and put out
her hand ready for another round.  There was another long string of ties,
and then Yuriko lost again.  Yuriko lay down, and wriggled out of her
shorts.  She had on such large panties that the others all laughed.  She
looked embarrassed, but the game went on.

   A bunch more draws and then Izumi and Mina lost again.  They stared at
each other, and flexed their fingers getting ready for the big showdown. 
Izumi was in just her panties by then, but luckily, she won.  Mina quickly
took off her shorts, and readied herself for the next round.  Miori and
Chiaki were giggling nonstop.  I guess Miori was happy because she was
winning, but it seems like she enjoys this kind of thing.

   Chiaki lost next.  She took off her bra, but self-consciously hid her
breasts with her arms.  Mina laughed a bit wickedly, but Chiaki started
joking around, holding out her hand while hiding her breasts with her arms.
Then, Yuriko lost.  She just nonchalantly took off her camisole.  She had a
big frilly bra on underneath.

   Izumi lost the next throw.  Yuriko stood up, and focused her camera on
Izumi.  Izumi stared back defiantly, pretending that she wasn't
embarrassed. She finally yanked down her panties revealing her lithe little
body.  I was actually so shocked when she stripped naked.  On TV, they
always stop before anyone gets naked.  The room went quiet because I guess
no one had expected it to go this far.  Izumi sat back down, buck naked,
eyes blinking, ready to play more.  Everyone readied their fists, but then
Yuriko asked.

   "What do we do if Izumi loses again?"

   "I don't know.  Make her go out in the hall or something," Miori
suggested.  I thought that was so funny.  Amazingly they agreed!  This time
though it was Chiaki who lost.  She was down to her panties, but she didn't
seem so keen on getting naked.  She hid under her futon, but everyone
starting calling for her to come out, and strip.

   "Stand up," Miori told her.  Chiaki turned her back to the rest of them,
but finally Mina just reached out, and pulled her panties down for her. 
She had the cutest little behind with soft smooth skin and no trace of a
tan.  She sat back down, blushing a bit.  Soon Yoshie came rushing into the
room.

   "Hanezono's on his way." Their teacher.

   The video ends there, but Miori filled me in on what happened. 
Basically, they all panicked.  They scrambled to shut off the lights, and
hide under their futons before Hanezono came in.  Miori heard the door
open, and Hanezono come in.  They must have been so frightened.  If he
lifted up Izumi or Chiaki's futons, he'd see them naked.  Soon though
someone called him from the hall.

   "Mr.  Hanezono." It was one of the boys.  They all breathed a sigh of
relief as Hanezono left.  Miori cautiously pulled back her futon, and
looked out into the dark room.  Miori could see Mina's cat-like eyes
glowing in the dim light.

   "That was close," Mina whispered.  Slowly they all pulled back their
covers, and sat up.  Yoshie glared at Izumi and Chiaki who were still
naked.

   "What on earth were you guys doing?"

   "We told you.  Playing yakyuuken, and they lost."

   Izumi grinned, but Chiaki was blushing bright pink.

   Anyway, soon Chiaki and Izumi pulled on their nighties, and they all
went to sleep.

   The next day, the bus took them to Kamikochi, a picturesque valley
surrounded by mountains.  Keisuke and his friends kind of hung back behind
the group, but Izumi kept looking over at him, trying to flirt I guess.

   That night there was more homework, but before the girls could finish,
Keisuke and his friend Kotani showed up at their door.

   "We just wanted to see what you gals were up to?" Kotani grinned, coming
right in.  According to Miori, Kotani is quite the joker, and maybe a bit
of a perv.  Miori likes Keisuke better, but Kotani and Keisuke seem to be
close friends.  Keisuke sat down on the tatami near Miori, but Kotani
continued to do most of the talking.  Miori couldn't quite figure out why
they were there.  Perhaps Keisuke was interested in one of them, but it
wasn't clear who.

   Kotani, Mina and Yoshie exchanged jokes till Hanezono showed up, and
made the boys go back to their room.  The girls tucked in, and shut off the
lights, but Miori couldn't sleep.  Soon, Izumi whispered.

   "I'm thirsty."

   Mina sat up in the dark, and said,

   "Yeah me too.  Let's sneak down, and get some drinks." Miori, Izumi and
Mina all got up, and pulled on their yukatas, but the other girls said they
were going to stay in the room, and sleep.  Miori, Izumi and Mina tiptoed
down to the lobby, and bought some drinks from the vending machines.  There
didn't seem to be anyone around.

   "Let's go check out the boys' bath," Izumi grinned.

   "It's probably closed," Mina frowned.

   "No, it isn't," Izumi insisted.  "It's open 24 hours."

   They went in, and it was empty.  Izumi bravely stripped out of her
clothes, and sat down at one of the shower stations to wash up.  Miori and
Mina looked at each other a bit surprised - it was the boys' bath after all
- but Izumi didn't seem worried.

   "Come on.  Everyone else is asleep," she whispered.  "Don't you want to
see what it's like?"

   Mina didn't want to seem chicken.  Miori was game too.  They gathered up
their nerve, stripped out of their yukatas and undies, and sat down on the
stools next to Izumi.  Miori soon realized that none of them had brought
towels, but Izumi didn't seem too concerned.  She slid open the glass door,
and walked out onto the deck.

   "Beautiful night," she smiled, her eyes gleaming in the moonlight. 
Miori quickly finished showering off, and went out hoping to convince Izumi
to come back in.  Izumi was giggling away though, and soon scurried all the
way out to the far side of the bath in clear view of the meeting room
above. Miori tensed wondering if anyone was watching.

   "Here!  Get in the bath for heaven's sake," Miori urged wading in
herself.  Izumi walked to the very edge of the deck, not worried at all.

   "Woo, yeah!" she yelped in glee.  Mina waded into the pool, and finally
convinced Izumi to come back closer to the inn, so she wouldn't be so
visible.

   "I don't know how you can do things like that," Mina chided her.

   "It's fun.  You should try it," she bubbled, not worried in the
slightest.

   The next day, their class went to the Nagano Olympic complex to go
ice-skating.  Most of their classmates had brought jeans and coats to wear,
but Izumi was wearing a white sailor blouse, pleated navy mini-skirt and
bare legs.  She's was probably trying to catch Keisuke's eye.

   The rink was fairly cold.  Even though Izumi was a fairly good skater,
she kept trying these difficult maneuvers, wiping out and ending up on her
fanny.  Miori tried not to laugh, but it was unlikely that Izumi would
capture Keisuke's heart that way.  Eventually, they headed back to the
girls' changing room, Izumi still brushing the ice off her backside.

   "You're actually a pretty good skater," Miori grinned.

   "Did you see the look on Keisuke's face?" Izumi frowned.

   "I told you.  You're better off without him."

   "What was it you said again?" Izumi asked, glaring at Miori stubbornly.
"Something about liking girls who don't wear panties..."

   "That's his brother, and besides, I don't think you should..."

   Izumi lifted up her skirt, and peered down at her panties.

   "Look at them.  They're covered in snow.  I can't wear these," she
complained.

   "I'll lend you some of mine.  I think I have a spare pair back in the
bus."

   Izumi looked at Miori, glad that she was willing to help.  They pulled
on their shoes, and then Miori told Izumi to wait while she went, and got a
fresh pair of panties.  Izumi ended up coming out to the rental desk to
return her skates.  Keisuke was already out there, and he noticed Izumi
right away.  Miori felt a bit worried about leaving Izumi with Keisuke,
especially the way Izumi was acting.  Miori grabbed Izumi's arm, and
dragged her out to the bus.  The bus door was shut, but the driver was
right nearby smoking a cigarette.

   "Could you let us in?" Miori asked.  He opened the door, and Izumi
hurriedly rushed up the stairs, her short skirt bouncing with each step. 
The bus driver was staring at her, and then at Miori, as she followed up
the stairs.

   "Careful!  The bus driver was staring."

   "It's OK.  Don't worry.  He's harmless," Izumi assured her.

   Miori pulled down her bag, and sorted through it looking for her spare
panties.  Meanwhile, Izumi pulled off her frozen panties.

   "Hey!  Hey!  What are you doing?  The bus driver will see!" Miori
hissed, turning to look where he'd gotten to."

   Izumi gave her this coquettish look.  I'm pretty sure Izumi got a buzz
from stripping on the bus.  Izumi stood up, and reached up for her bag.

   "I just want to get out my jeans," she explained, flashing a bit of her
bare butt.  Luckily, the bus driver appeared to be still up at the front,
but who knows who else was out there.  Izumi finally got her bag, and sat
back down, giving Miori a naughty grin.

   "Sorry." Her eyes glistened as she licked her teeth.  Miori finally
handed Izumi the panties, and she got back dressed.

   "Don't do things like that!" Miori scolded.

   Izumi just smiled, and stuck out her tongue.

   "Sorry."

   Soon, Hanezono and the other students came.  Keisuke eyed Izumi, as he
passed.  Izumi just smiled sweetly back at him.

   That night was to be the last of their trip.  They had to head back to
Tokyo the next day.  The whole inn was abuzz with activity.  Miori, Izumi
and Mina headed down to the girls' bath to get cleaned up, and on their way
back, they took a look around for Keisuke.  He wasn't in his room.  Before
they could find him, Hanezono caught up with them, and sent them back to
their room for lights out.  Izumi looked disappointed, and from the sound
of it Miori was too.

   Miori lay in bed for a while, but before long, Izumi was up again,
wanting to go out, and do something.  Miori, Izumi, Mina and Chiaki, all in
their yukatas, quietly slipped out, and wandered down to the games area. 
Just around the corner from the entrance to the springs, there was a room
for playing ping pong.

   "Anyone for a game?" Mina asked, picking up one of the rackets.  Izumi
picked up the other racket, and the two of them started playing, while
Miori and Chiaki kept watch at the door.  They played quietly at first, but
it was like no one else was up.  Izumi kept muffing her returns, blaming it
on her yukata.

   "It's too tight," she complained.

   "Take it off," Miori joked.  Izumi looked at her, wondering if she was
serious.

   "I could," she grinned, "but you have to beat me first."

   "What if I lose?" Miori asked.

   "Then you have to take yours off," Izumi went on.

   "That's no fair.  I'm not wearing a bra."

   "You think I'm wearing anything under this?" Izumi smirked.  Miori
looked at her trying to remember if she'd been wearing underwear.

   "You mean you've been wandering around commando all night?" Chiaki
asked.

   "It's no big deal.  No one noticed."

   They were all baffled.  I don't find Izumi that hard to understand. 
She's cute, and knows it, and likes to tease.  I'm a bit more of a good
girl (?), but I know what she was doing.

   "Well, are you going to play or not?" Izumi pressed.  Miori picked up a
racket.  Izumi served, and soon Miori was focusing trying to win.  The
score see-sawed back and forth, but from the sound of it, Miori was the
better player.  Izumi lost.  The other girls looked at her sympathetically,
but she just shrugged.

   "That's all right.  It was my idea in the first place," she said.  They
checked the door and windows, and once they were fairly sure that no one
was watching, Izumi undid her belt, and peeled off her yukata.  She looked
out of place standing naked in the ping pong room..

   "Another game?" she offered.  They started playing again, but Miori was
distracted by Izumi's nudity.  Mina suddenly jumped up.

   "There is someone out in the hall," she whispered.

   Mina and Chiaki went to the door to see who it was, while Izumi
scrambled to pull her yukata back on.  It turned out to be Keisuke, who
must have heard their voices, and came to see.

   "Hey!  What are you doing up?" Miori demanded trying to distract him. 
Izumi squatted down hiding behind the table.

   "I could ask the same thing to you," Keisuke replied.  He peered into
the room trying to see what they all were hiding from him.  Once she was
finally dressed, Izumi stuck her head up, so he could see.

   "Yeah, you should go to bed," she chimed.

   Keisuke was too curious, wondering what they'd been doing, but Izumi and
them just acted innocent, and soon ran back to their room.

   Anyway, the next day, they all came back to Tokyo.  I think Miori still
likes Keisuke, but it doesn't sound like she's making much progress, what
with Izumi in the way.
