Hinata and Sakura had been on a mission that had taken several weeks, they'd had to trek through forests in wind and rain, shiver in the freezing cold, bake in the scorching sun, fight whilst tired and hungry, but finally the mission had been a success. Unfortunately, the journey back, despite the new route they had taken to try and make the journey a little more comfortable, was hardly any better, the weather having gotten even worse in some places. About halfway though, while trekking through yet another forest, the two girls had come across an abandoned hot springs resort. It looked like nobody had been here for at least 10 years, but the structure was still pretty intact, making it potentially a warm and dry place to spend at least one night if not maybe a few, while the springs themselves were natural, meaning the water was still hot and clean-looking.
Hinata volunteered to search through the main building, finding at least one room that was intact and to see if she could find some still-intact blankets they could use. She was just as tired as Sakura, her clothes were just as tattered, but Hinata being Hinata, she offered to let Sakura head straight for the springs. "Really, I insist," she bowed her head gently before turning to head back into the building to begin her search, leaving Sakura to finally embrace the first chance they'd had to relax in over a month.<|im_end|>
Sakura sighed and briefly glanced around; the pinkette was on the brink of collapse - so much time had been spent traveling that her body was getting worn out. The constant fighting and trekking did nothing to help her clothes which were more patched up than anything at this point. Slowly she slid out of her clothing, letting her athletic body shine and gleam in the mist produced by the hot-springs. Her abs glistened as she lowered herself into the water, eyes closed and relaxation moving through her.<|im_end|>
