"Are we there yet~?" Chiyumi whined, dragging her feet with a tired sigh.
"It takes three days to get to the village, dumbass," Etsuko answered, resisting to hit the brown-haired young kunoichi for her personality.
A chuckle escaped Mina's lips watching the two communicate. Team Twelve had been walking for a couple of hours getting to their destination slowly but surely, even though it was a neighbouring village, it took a couple of days walking through the thick forest to get to where they needed to be. And because of the brown-eyed pre-teen, they took extra long.
"We'll be coming up to a smaller village soon, where we'll spend the night there." The older woman informed as she continued to walk behind the three students.
"What are you? A tour guide?" Etsuko asked sarcastically taking a side glance at their sensei.
"Will there be a hot spring? My muscles need some relaxation," Mina sighed, in a thought of soaking in the warm, soapy water.
"There should be," The dark brown haired sensei replied with a small smile.
"WE SHOULD TOTALLY GO!~" Chiyumi chimed a cheeky and innocent grin plastered on her slightly tanned face. Etsuko grunted at the thought but didn't reply as she was -for once- agreeing with the cheery girl.

"Com'on! LET'S GOOO!" Chiyumi pestered dragging the blue-violet eyed girl's arm, "AKI-SENSEI AND SUKO ARE ALREADY DOWN THERE!" She shouted, tugging on Mina's arm with more force.
A small laugh left Mina's mouth as she quickly picked up a towel and a change of clothes. "Let's go then," She said smiling and started going the same pace as the brown-haired girl. Which was more or less a jog. Once they got there, the two girls got ready to go into the baths.
The village that they were staying in was small so not many people were at the hot springs, it was just team twelve and some old women. "Suko, Aki-sensei!"The brown haired girl exclaimed as soon as she spotted them. Mina smiled in greeting and followed Chiyumi into the warm water.
The Uzumaki sighed in happiness as the steamy water relaxed her tense muscles. "It feels like it's been ages since I went to a hot spring," Mina commented, leaning back on one of the rocks by the back wall where their sensei and the blue haired girl were, and sinking in deeper into the water.
"YEAH! The last time we went to hot springs was during the chunin exams~!" Chiyumi chimed, grinning at the memory.
"Keep it down will you?" Etsuko growled, irritated by her loud voice.
"Hmm," Akihiko hummed in agreement, putting on a smile, one that looked something like a cat. "Girl time, that's what I call it."
"Well, then if it's girl time, shouldn't we be asking personal questions?" Mina asked a mischievous glint in her blue-violet eyes. The brown haired sensei sweatdropped at the comment but nodded along anyway.
"OH I'LL START THEN!" Chiyumi yelled, as a grin broke across her face but it scrunched up in pain from receiving a hit from the blue-haired teen.
"You're too loud," She scolded taking a glance at the other women in the bath who were looking at them with curiosity. The whiskered girl apologised and when hey turned back to what they were doing before, Chiyumi continued with her question.
With a slightly mysterious smile, Chiyumi asked, "Sensei~ have you ever fallen in love~?" She questioned in a teasing tone. The smile from their sensei fell as silence overtook them. Akihiko's gaze fell to the cloudy water, a small sad smile replacing the cat-like smile.
