She remembered it had been really cold that winter. A bitter biting frost worthy 
of a poem or a movie. Robin also remembered two words that tasted really bad now.

                              "I'd *never*..."

"Why does it have to snow when I want it warm? And boil when I want it cold!" 
the little girl kicked her stuffed doll away. It landed such that it wasn't 
smiling at her, and that seemed to mollify her.

"My little Dove... calm down," her mother said soothingly. "Before you know it 
it will be Spring all over again.

"And there will be flowers everywhere right!" said the "little dove" as she went 
from gloom to happiness in less time than it takes to say "smile".

The mother smiled and then went off to tend to the injured bird in the family. 
She knocked quietly. She entered only after her other daughter announced for her 
to enter. "How is my injured little Robin?"

"This Dove is in pain. No matter how warm I get this room, I can still feel the 
cold in my ankle."

"Is it still acting up?"

"I can walk on it... but it still seems to twang at every step."

"I see," said the mother seconds before her pager went off. She read the 
readout,"'Urgently need you Kestral.' It's always urgent." She sighed. "Doctor 
Kestrel Dove is summoned for there are no other doctors who could do this. At 
least none with a bedside manner warmer than a frozen bedpan. Your father's 
still at that Tokyo Architectural conference in Shinjuku. And will be way into 
next week. Which means it's you and the little Dove in the coup for a good long 
time. I know these slimeballs will have me there for days."

"The Adventurous life of a Surgeon. We'll be fine mom. Don't worry. If she's too 
much for me I'll call Kojiro over. She likes him."

"Do you?"

"Hardly. But he's good with the 'hatchling' and that's what counts."

The mother sighed as she got a second page,"Oh tell me something funny... to 
tide me over till I'm back home again. Whatever YEAR that is..."

"Well... our little Spring announced that Kojiro will be her husband when she's 
older."

"Hey now... I said funny," she smiled and closed the door.

Robin settled in for the duration.

Her mother popped back in again,"Almost forgot. If you need to... you can use 
our pass to the onsen... it's almost expired anyway. Your father's going to 
renew it when he gets back."

"And I leave Spring with who?"

"Kojiro. I just called him."

Robin groaned.

"Console yourself that he's only here for Spring's sake. Don't know what you 
don't like about him."

Robin smirked,"He's after my little sister's heart. Isn't that good enough?"

"Ha ha."

LATER

The door downstairs unlocked,"Oi! Robin... Spring... anyone here?"

Robin being dragged by her little sister came into the entry room,"Whoa there 
Nakamura... you can keep the shoes on. The good Doctor has given orders that 
little Spring Dove is to go over to your place."

Spring brightened like a summer sunrise,"YAY! I get to go to Kojiro's! He has 
lots more games than you big sister."

Robin smiled at her little sister,"That's right... and you want to go play them 
right?"

"Yup."

Kojiro wised up, even as he lifted Spring into his arms and onto his back,"Hey 
Did your Mother really give such an order Spring?"

"Nope," she snuggled into him and closed her eyes.

Kojiro gave Robin the deer in headlights look. She replied with the single 
finger salute. His jaw dropped. Robin waved. "Let's go Kojiro! Games await!"

"Uh... yeah..."

Robin was alone in the house. She settled into the recliner. She reached for the 
remote when suddenly the power went out. She checked the fuse drawer after 
confirming it was only her house. No spare fuse, and yes it was her house only.

She sighed and paged her mother on the emergency cell phone. "'Going to onsen. 
Main Fuse blew. Hardware store closed since Sunday. Kojiro has Spring.' There 
that covered all the bases," she walked into the garage. She nearly cried when 
she remembered her foot would not like such rough treatment as a bicycle would 
give it. Her car was out due to being low on gas, and only allowed to fill it 
going to or coming from school functions. She didn't have the money even if she 
wanted to take it. "At least it's only a mile. I'm not IN Shinjuku coming out 
here... that would turn me into a popsicle."

She went to her room and bundled up for the cold. She also snagged her favorite 
towel. If anyone else was there... well they wouldn't see a thing. She couldn't 
recall if it was coed night or not. She hoped not. The guys from her school were 
always so immature about it. "'Check it out... thermal expansion!' Bah!" she 
said as she locked the door behind her. "I'd better pray to my ancestors or I 
fear I'll join them. Man it's cold!" She found the little shrine and lit an 
incense. It was so cold it warmed her hands as she silently prayed. That scared 
her enough to hurry to the onsen.

AT HER DESTINATION

"Greetings! Coming to warm yourself up on this cold night?" inquired the 
receptionist as she stamped the ticket. "Just so you know it's not coed night if 
you planned on some guy to come over and warm you up."

"No... no guy. Just warming up. Can I go in now?" She asked still shivering from 
the cold outside.

"We're closing in an hour... don't know how warm you can get in just an hour."

"Kojiro said it would be okay..."

"You know the manager's son! Well in that case... I guess it is. Should I expect 
him?"

Robin shook her head,"He's entertaining a guest."

The lady nodded with much understanding,"He does that here sometimes too."

Robin blinked,"Well it's no concern of mine. He's only a friend."

The lady was still worried about something,"Do you know how to lock up?"

"I've broken in before on a bet... I think I can break out too. I'm kidding," 
she added when the receptionist blanched. "Besides isn't it just a matter of 
locking the door... opening it from the inside and closing the door behind you? 
And the alarm hasn't worked in years."

"Well... that's all true. Master Kojiro beat the stuffing out of it last year 
when it went off on him."

Robin remembered that being the day he asked her out on a date... and 
subsequently got nothing out of it save a few yen poorer. "I don't think anyone 
else will be coming by. Perhaps you should go now?"

The lady smiled,"Good thinking... if I hurry... I can catch the train instead of 
taking the slow bus home. Thank you young Lady. If you are still here in the 
morning I'll make breakfast for you."

They earnestly bowed to each other, and the lady hustled out of th 
establishment. The door didn't fully close, but Robin didn't notice that in the 
slightest. She was too busy panting against a wall. Her foot was "thawing" and 
it was far from pleased with her recent actions.

Robin Dove limped her way into th changing room and slipped out of everything. 
It wasn't coed night and so not even her panties stayed on. Now towel wrapped 
she walked into the steamy bath proper.

She placed her ankle in the water, and sighed as relief flooded her. She slipped 
the rest of the way in. Feeling frisky she left the towel on the bank. Only 
someone with a helicopter could look in anyway.

"Oh this is heaven."

"Sure feels like it," a voice said from just behind her.

She looked up quickly, and covered herself. "How'd you get in?! The Onsen is 
closed!"

The naked newcomer blinked,"Via the window... wait I didn't say that right. 
Door... not window. This language is still so new to me.

"The door was locked."

"Not till I closed it. There was snow blocking the door," The silence stretched 
while Robin fought to cover anything she thought the other woman might see," My 
name is Hawk Tanya."

"You got the order wrong... or is your last name Tanya?"

"That I did... Tanya Hawk. Hawk would be a weird first name for a girl wouldn't 
it?"

"Not that strange. My name is Robin and my little sister's is Spring."

"Last name? Or do you want to be informal with a complete stranger?"

"Oh yeah... you caught me off guard. Dove. I'm Robin Dove," Covering herself was 
feeling exponentially sillier by the minute,"You're standing on my towel."

"Hard to bathe with a towel on. Don't see a towel on me do you?" Tanya slid into 
the water. "Oh this is as good as I heard it would be. Beats that lousy 
convention any day. I think I'll stay here forever."

Robin fought to put the towel on. A task much easier on land before you enter 
the water. Tanya suddenly helping her gave Robin cause to yelp.

"I don't bite Miss Dove. Or is it Mrs?"

"Miss... and I can take care of this myself."

"And here I was hoping by helping you you'd consider washing my back for me."

Robin whirled to give her a piece of her mind, and her ankle protested. A face 
suffused with anger one minute was the next a picture of agony. She pushed on 
one foot until her back was to the bank.

Miss Hawk approached her,"I am good with massage. Let me see it. I broke mine 
once. I know what the pain is like."

"It's not broken... I sprained it playing tennis. It'll be fine in a minute."

Tanya quirked an eyebrow,"Doctor told you that eh?"

"Yes."

"Not all of them are as good as your mother. Let me massage it. My hands and 
this warm water and you'll be better than new."

Tanya reached into the water and drew out of it the bad ankle. "First thing... 
to get this leg above your heart. Not far so don't worry that I'm going to dunk 
you."

"Alright," she said. Anything would be better than the pain. She idly thought 
chopping it off would be better.

Tanya worked what could only be called magic. Gently hoisting the leg up the 
pain seemed to subside. Lady Hawk then applied light massage to the swollen 
ankle. Robin started losing herself in how good it felt. A soft moan escaped her 
lips.

Tanya chuckled,"We are doing anything that would cause that, Dove. We could 
though."

Robin hastily withdrew her leg,"IS that how you learned massage practicing it on 
other girls?"

"Mostly yes. Does it bother you?"

"It certainly does! I'd *never* do something like that or let someone do that to 
me!"

Tanya smirked humorously,"So if I was a guy you'd let me do whatever I wanted 
but since I'm a *girl* just like you you won't have anything to do with me? Does 
the ankle suddenly feel touched by evil itself?"

"Well no, but I don't want you getting any ideas!"

Miss Hawk held out her hand,"Fair enough... may I continue? It's swelling 
again."

Robin drew away from her along the bank, and cut herself on the back. She flung 
herself off the bank and into Tanya,"Hold still, Dove. I'll wash the gash. 
Didn't you see the warning sign?" she asked as she bathed the wound in the warm 
water.

Robin shook her head,"I was too busy trying to get away."

Tanya nodded,"Well lucky for you it was only a little cut. It should seal 
itself," Tanya chuckled,"Might I get you to wash my back *now*? As I just washed 
yours."

Robin blushed,"Sorry about that... of course. Soap?" she asked to easy her 
tension.

"Nope. Like you I stay cleaner than most."

Robin looked around. The wash towels were back in the changing room it seemed. 
She blushed as she vocally noted it.

"Hands then," Tanya said as if nothing was wrong with it at all.

Robin nodded and breaking free of the other girl sloshed around to her other 
side. She began hand washing the Hawk's back,"I'm not gifted in massage or 
anything. Sorry about that."

"Mmmm don't be. You're doing fine."

Robin rubbed and rubbed and the girl was unashamed that she was enjoying every 
minute of it. Lady Dove thought it was getting too warm in the bath. Very warm 
indeed.

"Done."

Tanya turned around and grabbing on of Robin's hands kissed the palm. The Dove 
just watched the Hawk, and without realizing it tried to hang onto the face with 
her fingers.

"Turn around."

"Why?"

"The hot water is making your pulse race. I'll make sure you aren't bleeding."

Tanya examined the wound and gently washed away the fresh blood. Scrubbing away 
the red tinge it made to the other girl's flesh. The Hawk then washed the Dove's 
back again and massaged her shoulders... shoulder blades... and without thinking 
her bottom. Miss Hawk pulled her hands away,"Sorry about that... force of habit. 
I... I should go."

Robin turned around,"No... it was okay. I'm... tense all over."

"You don't mind?"

"It's... alright."

Tanya smacked herself in the forehead,"No," she chuckled,"It isn't. I've gone 
and set you off. Here I am acting the meat eater."

Robin blinked,"Predator you mean."

"Yeah that word."

Robin found herself saying,"You aren't being predatory. I'm being cold in the 
face of the kindness you show without thinking. You don't have to go."

Lady Hawk hugged the other girl to her,"Oh to be young with hormones again," She 
paused Robin had gone limp in her arms,"You alright?"

"No. I'm lusty."

"You'll hate me later. Even if for only you saying that," of course Tanya didn't 
feel that deep down as they clutched each other together. "Let's test your 
resolve."

"How," was all she could say before the other girl kissed her. Robin leaned up 
into it.

Tanya pulled back,"See I'm a predator."

"That was the best kiss I ever experienced," said the Dove as she licked her 
lips.

"You're just horny."

"Stop me," and Robin kissed her. Tanya slipped her her tongue and they fenced 
with flesh foils for a few minutes.

Robin could only moan as Tanya pulled away and kissed her throat. She didn't 
seem to know anything of what would happen next but she was caught in the 
passion of the moment and refusing to let go.

Dove moved Hawk lips to it's own again before the agile predator moved lower and 
flew between the mountains. Landing on one vista and then the next... Tanya's 
tongue and nibbling teeth teased everything in their path. Robin found her back 
arching to maintain contact. The water level in the onsen rose noticeably.

Both girls frozen in the moment of pleasure either moaned or pleasurably groped 
the other. Tanya slid her hand down Robin's stomach lingeringly, and then 
stopped. She massaged her stomach but did nothing else as she licked and 
nibbled.

Dove made Hawk stop. "I'm going to far aren't I? You aren't like me. I shouldn't 
be pressuring you."

Robin hungrily kissed Tanya and turned and leaned into her. The paused hand was 
slid into the valley that before Dove had flown through alone. Hawk was coached 
by Dove as to what she liked with only light touches to the hand here and there.

Lady Dove was soon numb with ecstasy. Suddenly she closed her legs.

Tanya blinked,"Something wrong?"

Robin turned and smiled as her legs released the pleasuring hand,"I feel like a 
terrible hostess," was all she said before changing from prey to predator and 
pinning the other girl to the side of the onsen.

The water level rose noticeably again.

After a while of billing and cooing soon roles were cast aside as they pleasured 
each other. Both were very close to their moment. You could almost feel it in 
the air that they were in sync.

The waters churned and fell... and as both orgasmed like neither ever had before 
they were cast out of the water and the very fluids flowing from them cast them 
onto the shore with a tumble. Neither girl was harmed as they were so relaxed 
their bodies just rolled with the motions.

IN THE MORNING...

"Girls... Girls... wake up girls," came a voice a little exasperated. To the 
point that she was starting to get rude without wanting to.

Robin stirred first and in a bit of shock realized she was face to face with the 
other girls nether regions. Her gasp woke Tanya. Both sort of looked at each 
other.

"Well now that you are awake, you can get dressed. And could someone tell me how 
onsen water was hurled over the fence onto the street? Several cars have cracked 
windows and ice all over them."

Tanya spoke then,"I have no idea ma'am. We were simply bathing... and then 
suddenly we were cast out of the water. I'm personally embarrassed how we ended 
up ma'am."

"Hmm... a sudden uprising of pressure... that could be it I guess... I don't 
know about this stuff I just take money from bathers. Due to the accident I 
won't charge you. She already paid so I guess I have to give a voucher."

A Man spoke from the Doorway... his back turned,"No give them both vouchers. 
They could have been cooked or whatnot."

She bowed,"How many sir?"

"2... 3... They probably won't be here more times than that before the vouchers 
expire."

"Of course sir. I'll go print them," she turned to the girls,"Our apologies 
about the inconvenience."

Robin blinked,"Um... it's... alright ma'am."

Both visitors to the scene left. Robin looked up at Tanya and bit her lip. 
Tanya's happy expression fell,"You want to say last night never happened right? 
That's why I said what I did. To make it easier for you to forget. I'm sorry 
I,"she let out a sudden gasp.

Robin analysed the taste on her tongue,"Interesting flavor."

Tanya blinked,"Why'd you do that?"

"Because I wanted you to cheer up... fast," she paused,"I want last night to 
have happened. And I want it to happen again," she trailed off. She really 
couldn't believe she'd said it. She'd been with one other girl in her life... 
and hated the experience with a passion. She didn't even like the few guys she'd 
been with either. But Hawk... she didn't know but she knew she'd liked it. She 
longed for it again. "Only..."

"Only?"

"Only... we should keep it secret."

"Parents won't approve?"

"It's not that. I think I like that it's secret. Something just between you and 
me. No one else knows. No one else ever need to. We know."

"I love you," Tanya blinked,"Did I just say that?"

Robin smiled and nodded,"I love you too."

"Do we know what we're saying here?"

"Yes. I'm your little lesbian love monkey," Robin giggled giddily.

Tanya laughed uproariously,"Ook ook!"

They helped each other stand. And they walked hand in hand to the changing 
rooms. They helped each other dress. Of course they looked like they'd rather be 
UNdressing each other.

The Bird Women stepped out of the changing room and were greeted with their 
vouchers. They waved a fond fair well to the lady who had inadvertently gotten 
the two of them together by not closing the door properly the night before.

A car door opened,"Daddy!" Robin called waving. The man smiled back and jogged 
over through the snow.

"There you are!" he noticed Tanya,"And I see Miss Hawk found you."

Robin blinked to Tanya.

Tanya smiled,"Your father expelled me from the conference from gross boredom 
unbecoming a secretary."

He smirked,"Well you were snoring... and when Kestrel called saying that Robin 
was home alone I let you leave. When Kestrel tried to enter the onsen last night 
the door was locked and she feared neither had found the other. So we just 
waited for morning. I know from years being my secretary that Tanya could handle 
herself. And you aren't a slouch my little Robin."

The pair chuckled together.

He smiled,"I see you each made a friend of the other. And here I figured Tanya 
was an antisocial girl too."

Tanya bowed,"I managed."

Robin then bowed too,"I could tell she was trying hard. But I need friends 
besides Kojiro."

He nodded,"He took great care of Spring. You should talk to him though. 
Something is bothering him."

Speak of the devil Kojiro pulled up on his bike. "Robin can we talk!"

She nodded and walked over a ways,"What is it Nakamura?"

"Your," he was straining to sound polite, and look it too but she could here he 
was totally flustered,"ADORABLE cute little sister... walked in on me in the 
bathroom."

"Lots of girls have seen you naked."

"She laughed and pointed!!"

"Awww poor bruised ego. At least she didn't say the engagement was off."

"Hey!"

"Hey what? She's the only Dove interested in you. Get used to it. She's also 
your only friend. Guess you should get over it."

"My only friend?"

"I found a new one. Hard to have 2 friends when you aren't used to having any 
save a little sister and a guy who's only trying to get into your pants. Now if 
you'll excuse me."

She left him then looking like Bambi watching the forest burn. Being near him 
after knowing Tanya just made her ill. She wondered if she'd feel ill being near 
other girls too. But the thought vanished as Tanya took her hand when she got 
back over. Other people didn't matter as much to her now. She was ill because 
she was away from Tanya. A Light squeeze told her Miss Hawk felt the same way.

"I'll give you two a ride back to the house. You look warm now but that's just 
because you spent the night in an onsen. Or something. Then it's back to the 
convention for me."

Both girls nodded,"We'll keep each other company."

"Great. I'll get Spring out of your hair by letting her go to Kojiro's again. 
They'll like that."

Robin smiled,"Oh I'm sure she'll just love it. She wants to marry him one day 
you know."

He blanched,"I'll keep my eye on them when I get back then. She's too young for 
him."

Tanya then said,"Oh he's housebroken by the looks of things." and Robin saw 
Spring pedalling like mad towards Kojiro. Both ladies giggled as they got into 
the car.

LATER

"You mean it wasn't a freak geyser? It was us?"

"I'll change the linen."

"Better get a mop too."

"It was great though."

"Yes it was. Wish the lights weren't still blown."

"We'll just have to make the best of it."

"We don't need lights anyway."

ELSEWHERE

*bing bing bing*

The Architectural Dove pulled out his cell phone,"Yes honey? Oh yeah Our Plan to 
make them friends so neither isn't so lonely worked like a charm. Both seem to 
have new life in them... the fuse? No I didn't change it. I forgot. Well they 
told me Spring wants to marry Kojiro. Yes it is scary. Truthfully he has no 
other prospects. Well the girls just don't like him. Heck even other GUYS don't 
like him. But Spring is ga-ga over him. Robin? Oh she hates him. Mr. Nakamura 
isn't enthused by her either. Kojiro likes her. Hmm? Mrs. Nakamura? She thinks 
it's adorable. What?! Set Spring and him up?! This isn't feudal Japan. What? 
Well yes I know I married you. Well Kestrel Yamada didn't have that zing. Well 
an arranged marriage to one so young isn't fair for Kojiro. Why are we even 
talking about this disturbing stuff? What? OUCH! I see. Anything to get your 
mind off that. Well YOU can ask Mr. Nakamura if you're so on about this. Dr. 
Dove can do anything. Well I think it's a bit silly. Well and Kojiro never seems 
happy near her. Not that he ever looks happy. What? Yeah I suppose not being 
able to seduce her weighs in. This is sounding like a good idea. Maybe he'll 
settle down by the tim she's old enough. Or it will scare him into being 
responsible. Well I have to go... Mr. Yashida is about to speak. This was a fun 
conversation. Should we agree it never happened? My thoughts too. See you in a 
few days. You carry all my love. Well yeah except architecture. Love you too. 
Bai!"

The guy next to him said,"Real slave driver you have there."

Mr. Dove looked at him,"Oh? I don't think so. She's perfection itself."

"Unlike my wife."

"Guess you just didn't get lucky. I'm very lucky."


Little did he know his daughter was saying the self same thing in the arms of 
her new best friend, confidant, and lover.
