On one of my trips back to Japan, my mom suggested that we all go visit my grandparents' house in the country.  Lately, I haven't really seen them that much because I'm studying in the States, but I have a whole bunch of memories from the times we visited them when I was growing up.  Part of it was my grandma, who is so kind, but also getting to play with my cousins, the other kids in the neighborhood and the whole atmosphere of life in the country.

That weekend, we drove there, and ended up arriving at my grandma's house fairly late.  My male cousins Junpei and Yuuta were there along with my uncle and aunt.  Junpei is younger than I am, maybe high school age, and Yuuta is just going into kindergarten.  They were both basically good kids as far as I remember, but they'd grown quite a bit since the last time I saw them.  The adults all sat in the dining room, while Junpei, Yuuta and I sat on the tatami mat floor just next door.

Junpei kept peering over at me curiously.  At first I wasn't sure why, but eventually I realized he was trying to sneak a peek up my skirt at my panties.  I looked down, only to find that the crotch of my panties had gotten kind of scrunched up, so you could see the curves of my thighs that surrounded my most private place.  I guess I should have sat in a more ladylike fashion, but in some ways, I didn't mind.  Junpei always used to strike me like a little boy, but now for the first time, it was obvious he was growing into a young man.  I looked over at my mom, but she wasn't paying any attention to us.  I casually spread my legs pretending like I didn't know he was watching.  Soon though, I started worrying that I might be teasing him a bit too much.  I got up, and straightened my skirt.

"I think I'm going to go get ready for bed," I announced.

"Alright, pleasant dreams," my grandma cooed.  "See you bright and early tomorrow morning.  We're going over to your uncle's place for brunch and then to the cemetery."

August is the season when Japanese pay respects to their ancestors.  I went upstairs, got my pajamas and shower kit, and came back down to have a shower.  Junpei peered over at me curiously, but when I came back out in my pj's, my grandparents and everyone had started getting ready for bed too.

The next morning, I vaguely remember my mom calling up the stairs to wake me up.  She must have called a few times, but I was so sleepy.  I heard her say something about Yuuta, but then I just fell back asleep.

When I finally got up, the house was all quiet.  I had a bite of breakfast and then another shower.  In the bath, there are a couple of windows, and I peeked out at the neighbor's backyard.  They had a nice garden, but from the looks of it, there was no one home.  I stood in the window naked, toweling off and admiring the view.  My clothes were back up in my room, so I wrapped the towel around me, and came out to the living room to phone my aunt.  It turned out they'd all left me here to baby-sit Yuuta.  He must be upstairs in one of the bedrooms on the other side of the house.  My aunt told me he likes to sleep in, so he was probably still asleep.

I playfully shook my towel loose, letting it fall to the floor as I talked with my aunt on the phone.  At first, I felt kind of embarrassed to be standing there naked, but probably the neighbors weren't even home.  I got so excited by my little bit of daring I was having trouble following what my aunt was saying, so I told her I'd phone back later.

I was still a bit worried about being seen, so I finally wrapped the towel back around me.  I dug out a map of my grandma's neighborhood, and then opened the sliding doors to the garden at the back of the house, and sat down dangling my feet over the edge.  To get more comfortable, I brought over a couple of zabuton (flat pillows), and lay face down on them, examining the map.

It was really a beautiful day out.  The sun was shining in through the open doors, and you could hear the cicadas chirping away.  It reminded me so much of when we used to come here in the summer when I was little.  I used to go exploring all around the farms, hills or the beach with my cousins or the other neighbor kids.

The feeling of the sun on my shoulders and the back of my legs reminded me of my tan.  I got a bit of a tan early in the summer, but it had already started to fade.  I pulled the back of my towel up to take a look.  You could kind of see where the tan lines were on my legs, but my backside was almost completely white.  I liked the feeling of the sun on my bare behind.   I glanced out into the garden just to be sure no one was watching.  It looked safe, so I spread my legs a bit, and basked in the warmth.  If someone came, I suppose I could pretend I hadn't noticed them.

I looked back at the map, and tried to think what I should do, but the feeling of the sun on my bare bottom made it hard to think of anything else.  I sat up, letting my towel fall away.  My heart sped up from sitting there naked by the garden.  I finally got the nerve to stand up.  I slid my feet into the slippers on the ground outside, and then just stood there for a while enjoying the sensation of being naked in the sun and fresh air.  I wanted to go for a walk, but I was still worried that the neighbors might be home.  I came back in, but I was too excited to think of anything else.

Leaving my towel on the ledge, I walked to the front of the house, sat down on the step, and pulled on my running shoes.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I couldn't very well go outside in my birthday suit.  Still, I stood up, and put my hand on the door knob.  Just then I heard the pitter-patter of little feet on the stairs.  Yuuta emerged from the stairwell, and stared over at me curiously, surprised to find me standing at the front door naked.

"Emi!  What are you doing?" he asked blinking at me in shock.  I looked down at my naked body at a loss how to explain.  My instinct was to cover up my pussy, but somehow I worried that would seem even kinkier, as if I'd been caught doing something wrong.  Deliberately holding my hands at my side, I pried off my shoes, and came back in.

"Here, we'd better get you some breakfast," I told him, trying to act like there was nothing strange about my walking around grandma's house stark naked.  He stared at me in absolute wonder.  I guess he hadn't seen too many women naked before, at least not in the house.  I poured him a bowl of cereal and some juice, and set it out on the table for him.  He seemed a lot more interested in my body than any food.

"Here, be a good boy, and eat up.  I'll be right back."

He continued to stare as I headed down the hall, and dashed upstairs to my room.  What on earth am I doing?  I should have been more careful.  I sure hope he doesn't tell his mom.  She probably wouldn't believe him anyway, but still I didn't want word of this getting back to my mom.  She would absolutely flip.

I pulled on my light blue halter and a pair of loose fitting grey shorts, relieved to be dressed again.  I paused to take a few deep breaths, trying to calm down before going back downstairs.  I grabbed my backpack, and finally went down to confront Yuuta.  He was still staring at me in complete awe.  He stared down at my hips.  Looking around for something else to talk about, I noticed a shopping list of groceries on the counter.

"Once you're done eating, we'd better go shopping," I told him trying to sound grown up, responsible, adult.  Yuuta nodded obediently, but he continued to peer curiously over at me.  I did my best to just pretend like nothing had happened.

Soon, he finished eating, and we pulled on our shoes, and headed out.  The whole neighborhood seemed pretty quiet, at least compared to Kamakura or Oceanview.  Yuuta trotted along behind, still staring at me, but I forged ahead towards the general store.  When we finally got to there, the store was gone, and there was this big supermarket up instead.  We went in, and it was all new inside and almost empty.  Ignoring Yuuta's staring, I picked up a shopping basket, and started looking for the things on the list.  Before long though, I caught sight of a familiar face.

"Seiichirou?"  It was a neighboring boy, the son of Minehiro Satou, a farmer who lived just down the road from my grandparents.  "Seiichirou, is that you?"  I hadn't seen him for years, but we used to play together all the time whenever I came up here.  He still had the same good-natured grin.

"Emi?  Emi Tsuruta!"

"Seiichirou.  I can't believe it.  You haven't changed a bit."

"But look at you, all grown up, a regular lady and all," he smiled, his eyes gleaming.  It was so good to see him.  I guess there was never really anything between us, but our parents used to tease us that someday we would marry each other.  He seemed excited to see me too.  We chatted back and forth about all the things we used to do and what all we had been up to since.

I was so happy to see Seiichirou again after all these years I absentmindedly started twirling the drawstrings at the front of my shorts.  Yuuta noticed, and soon I could feel him tugging on the back of my shorts.  I put my hand on his head to steady him, but kept right on chatting with Seiichirou.  Yuuta became impatient though, and soon he was pulling on my shorts more insistently.  I tried to ignore him, but soon I could feel my shorts sliding down my rear.  I pulled them back up, but Yuuta seemed to think this was some kind of game, tug of war perhaps.

He pulled them back down, even farther this time, and soon I found myself desperately holding on to the front trying to keep my pussy covered.  I guess I had kind of 'forgot' to put on any underwear that day (I do that sometimes), but now I was starting to regret it.  Seiichirou had noticed, and peered down curiously at the naked flesh of my exposed hips.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked still smiling a bit self-consciously now.  Suddenly, an image flashed into my mind, a memory of one day when Seiichirou and I were playing in his father's barn rolling in the hay.  Nothing really happened I guess, but at one point, he had got up on top of me, staring down deep into my eyes.  I probably threw some straw in his face, but all of a sudden as if for the first time, it struck me that maybe he'd been planning on kissing me.  I'd been too young to realize it at the time, but now it suddenly dawned on me that all those years he'd probably had a crush on me.

"Um, yeah, I do," I told him, still trying to get Yuuta to let go of my shorts.

"Oh," he said obviously disappointed.  Somehow realizing he might still have feelings for me, I went limp, loosening my grip on my shorts.  Yuuta kept pulling, and soon I felt my shorts plunge down my legs all the way to my ankles.  Suddenly, there I was in the aisle my pussy and bare behind there for all to see.  Shocked, I just stood there blinking for a moment.  Seiichirou's eyes opened wide as he stared down in disbelief at my bushy black pubic hair.

"Oh, sorry," I apologized slowly realizing what had happened.  "Yuuta!"

Yuuta ran off back down the aisle, giggling away.  All embarrassed now, I turned my back to Seiichirou, and bent forward to gather up my shorts.  Glancing back at him, I found him staring in absolute amazement at my bare behind.  My mind went blank.  I couldn't believe I was doing this, flashing poor Seiichirou my most private places, right here in the middle of the supermarket.  My pussy had started tingling like crazy, as I felt Seiichirou's eyes bore into its delicate folds, his face filled with wonder and awe.

So Seiichirou likes me.  Doesn't that beat all?  I never would have guessed.  Only slowly did I pull my shorts back up.  He seemed to like the shape of my rear, and in my confused state, I was in no great rush to hide it from him.  I'm not sure what I was thinking, but somehow I didn't want this to end.  Even though we were out in the middle of the aisle, I felt strangely at ease standing there half naked with him.  I smiled self-consciously to myself, arching my back slightly as I pulled my shorts up my thighs, giving him one last look at my rear.  My poor dear Sei-chan looked so confused, wondering what had happened to the sweet innocent Emi he used to know.

"Sorry," I apologized again, trying hard not to smile, as I finally pulled my shorts back up.  There was this long awkward silence with neither of us knowing quite what to say.  I gathered up my shopping basket, and went back to looking for the items we'd come for.  Seiichirou followed me around in a daze, till finally at the check out, he asked,

"How long are you here for?"

"Just till tomorrow," I told him sadly.

"What are you up to today?"

"I have to watch Yuuta till his parents get back, and then I'm not sure what we're doing."

"Can I drop by later?" Seiichirou asked.

"Um, yeah, I guess," I smiled weakly.  I was a bit worried now that I'd gone too far, given him the wrong idea, but anyway, he seemed pretty calm considering.  I finally collected Yuuta, giving him a gentle box on the ear for being such a bad boy, and then the three of us walked back home.  Seiichirou waved goodbye, and then he was gone.  What do you know?  All that talk about us getting married and stuff, had he been taking that seriously?  I was still so surprised.

Eventually, my whole family came back for a late lunch.  I didn't tell them what had happened, but Yuuta kept peering over at me with this smirk on his face.  After lunch, Junpei invited me to come outside for a walk on the back lot.  Yuuta tagged along.  Junpei led us up the hill at the back of the lot into the forest.  I hadn't been out this way for ages, but I vaguely remembered roaming around out here when we were young.  Down the far side of the hill we came to some large stones arranged in a little circle around what looked to be a campfire.

"Oh wow.  I remember this place," I exclaimed, all the memories flooding back.  "What did we used to do out here?  We had some kind of game.  Red rover red rover.  Won't you come over?"

Junpei laughed.  Yuuta was jumping up and down dying to say something.

"Emi was running around our house naked this morning," he excitedly told Junpei.  Junpei looked over at me shocked.

"Really?" he asked.

I looked at him for moment, and then shrugged.  Junpei looked back at Yuuta more suspiciously now.

"No, it's true, I swear.  And then I pulled down her shorts in the store when she and Seiichirou were making goo-goo eyes at each other."

Junpei frowned.

"You saw Seiichirou today?"

"Yeah, in the grocery store while we were shopping."

"What did he say?" he asked uneasily.  It slowly dawned on me that Junpei must know that Seiichirou had a crush on me.  The two of them were pretty good friends.  Perhaps he had even told Seiichirou that I would be coming, and maybe that's why Seiichirou had been hanging out in the grocery store in the first place.

"I don't know.  Nothing.  He told me about his family and stuff."

Junpei glared at me, upset it seemed over something I'd done.

"What's this about your shorts then?" he asked, getting up to examine them more closely.  "Are you even wearing underwear?" he asked even more suspiciously now.  I covered my crotch with my hands, but I guess he could tell that I wasn't wearing any panties.

"It was nothing.  Yuuta just got a bit overexcited.  Isn't that right, Yuuta?"

"No.  She was naked!" Yuuta gushed gleefully.  Junta came over, and grabbed me around the waist, pulling down my shorts a little, confirming that I didn't have anything on underneath.  He eventually let go, but I could tell he was getting all excited.

"Why are you dressed like this?  Were you really running around the house naked this morning?"

"No comment."

"You're not serious, are you?  I can't believe it."

"I didn't say I was."

"Show me."

"What?"

"Your body.  Take off your clothes."

"Are you crazy?  No way!"  I got up, and dashed back up the path.  Junpei came after me, and soon the two of us were running.  Luckily, I made it back to the house before he did.  "Swear you won't tell anyone anything!" I whispered to him.  He didn't say anything, so I repeated, "Swear it!"

Before he could answer, their mom came out to fetch Yuuta.  Junpei and I came in, and sat back down on the tatami.  The adults were all at the kitchen table talking about serious things.  Junpei kept peering over at me, but thankfully he didn't say anything.  Eventually, we had supper, and then sat around listening to the grown ups talk.  Before long, we heard a knock at the door.  My aunt got it, and sure enough it was Seiichirou.

"Hi," I said self-consciously.  Seiichirou looked really nervous too.

"I brought you something," he said handing me a floppy girl doll in a country dress.  "You used to play with this when you were here."

I remembered it, and was amazed he still had it.  It looked so antique.

"Um, thanks," I grinned.

"Would you like to come in?" my aunt asked him.

"Um, no.  I have to go help my father with the chores.  I just wanted to say hi."  He moved to leave, but I felt so guilty.

"Um, Seiichirou!" I called after him.  He stopped, and turned.

"Thanks."  That was all I could think to say.  He smiled, and waved goodbye.  I could tell he wanted to say more, but couldn't with all these people around.  I took the doll up to my room, and lay it down on my futon.  It was nice of him to remember, nice of him to bring it for me.  I guess his mom or someone had bought it.  Could he have kept it for me for all these years?

When I came back down, Junpei was looking over at me, unhappily.  I don't know what he wanted me to do.  I was going back to Kamakura the next day and the States a week or two later.  It wasn't like there could be anything between Seiichirou and me.  He was a nice guy, but we lived in separate worlds.

"Anyway, I think I'm going to tuck in," I told them all.  "It's been a long day."  I went upstairs, got out my shower kit and a football jersey to sleep in.  I had a quick shower, and then came out to wish them all a good night.  I was standing in the big open doorway between the tatami room and the dining room until I noticed Junpei lying there on the floor behind me, trying to peek up the back of my jersey.  I still wasn't wearing any panties, so he probably got a pretty good look at my bare bottom.  I stuck out my tongue at him, and then quickly dashed back upstairs to go to sleep.

The next morning I awoke to see the sun streaming in through the windows.  The house was all quiet again, but this time because it was so early.  I padded downstairs, had some breakfast, and then headed into the bath for another quick shower.  I kept thinking of Seiichirou and all the good times we'd had together as kids.  Still naked, I toweled off, and came out to the sink and mirror in the small room next to the bath.  Suddenly, I heard a noise, and there was Junpei standing behind me eyes wide staring in disbelief at my naked body.

"Junpei!" I yelled, throwing my towel at him.

"So it is true.  Yuuta did catch you naked."

I scanned around looking for my jersey, but Junpei spotted it first, and scooped it up.

"Hey, give that back!" I cried.  He backed away from the door challenging me to come after him.  I couldn't see anything else to cover myself with, so I ended up covering my pussy and breasts with my hands.

"Wow!  You have an incredible body!" he cried all excited now.  "Did you really show Seiichirou?  Oh man!"

"Quiet.  You'll wake everyone up."

I couldn't hear anything, but I knew my grandparents got up pretty early.  They were probably already up.

"Here, give me back my jersey."

"Move your hands!"

"What?"

"Show me your body.  I want to see."  His voice still sounded like a little kid's, but it was obvious he was getting excited.  He'd kept peeking up my skirt the day before, but now I was stuck out here with nothing to cover myself at all.  I hadn't planned this or anything, but I guess I can admit I was getting a bit excited myself.  It's hard to explain why.  He was just my cousin for heaven's sake, but somehow getting caught naked with my whole family just upstairs made me feel so naughty.

He held out my jersey taunting me with it, but backed up into the living room.  I slowly followed him out into the living room.  I was having trouble keeping my feelings in check.  I was embarrassed sure, but despite myself, I was getting so excited it wasn't even funny anymore.  His eyes sparkled as he looked me up and down.

"Come on, Junpei.  Give my stuff back."

He slid open the back door, and stepped down into the garden daring me to follow him.  I was torn.  I was kind of tempted to go after him.  I'd been out in the garden naked the day before, and it felt kind of nice, but this time, I was worried that my mom might come, and find us.  Maybe I'd better not.

"Junpei!" I called out to him.  Suddenly, though I heard someone coming down the stairs, so I dashed off back down the hall.  I heard my grandmother's voice, so I ran back up the stairs to my own room.  My heart was still beating in my chest like crazy, but at least I was safe again.  Grandma would no doubt wonder what Junpei was doing with my jersey and towel out in the garden, but I somehow doubted that he'd tell her that he'd taken them from me.  Perhaps I was safe.

I came back down fully dressed.  Junpei had left my towel and jersey at the bottom of the stairs, so I packed them, and brought my luggage down.  He still looked all excited at having caught me, but we had to leave that morning for the long drive back.  My parents had breakfast, and then the three of us said goodbye, and got in the car.  Junpei stood out on the porch waving while Yuuta ran after us, till we pulled out of sight.  It had been a strange trip, but kind of fun.
