Hello everyone, Izayoi here, nice to meet you. Due to my background and life experiences, I prefer to write my stories with some Japanese influence and flavor. You might notice some aspects of my stories track with themes often seen in Japanese style erotica and manga, I hope you will find these a bit different and enjoyable. I will keep the actual Japanese to a minimum but you can assume that all the characters are speaking Japanese throughout. I appreciate everyone's feedback and I hope you enjoy this series! Yoroshiku!

Disclaimer: This is a completely fictional story series set in Japan at an onsen ryokan, otherwise known as a hot spring resort. All places, characters, and settings are completely fictional and the author does not endorse any of the actions depicted outside the realm of imaginary fantasies.

Cast:

Yukiko Tanabe, 41-year old mother

Shiori Tanabe 11-years old, 6th grade elementary student

Junko Miyamoto, 41-year old mother

Megumi Miyamoto 11-years old, 6th grade elementary student

"Be careful with your suitcase Shiori! You shouldn't drag it up the steps like that!"

"But Mom, it's heavy!" The girl was fighting to pull her overstuffed, pink Hello Kitty suitcase up the stairs.

"Well that's because you brought too many things! I told you we would only be gone for 3 days. Look at my suitcase! It's as light as a feather!" Yukiko Tanabe watched impatiently as her young daughter struggled to carry her suitcase up the steps to the inn. She knew Shiori had always been a bit irresponsible, but she kept hoping that her best friend Megumi's more fastidious habits would eventually rub off on her. The two girls had been inseparable for the past 5 years or so, ever since Yukiko's best friend, Junko Miyamoto, had moved back to Koriyama City with her husband. The two women had spent their youth playing basketball together on their school and later their prefectural team. Separated by college, she was ecstatic to be reunited with her dear friend, especially when she came back to town with a cute little daughter the same age as her own Shiori in tow.

Now with their girls halfway through their 6th and final year of Japanese elementary school, they had conspired to plan this trip to a fancy onsen ( volcanic hot spring resort) in Yamagata over the 3-day weekend. Though both mothers regretted their present circumstances somewhat, work kept them away from their families more than they'd like. They were left with little more than time for dinner, chores, homework, and tea time to spend with family after long days in the office that often ended well past 7pm. But now, Shiori and Megumi were growing up, showing the first tell-tale signs of puberty at eleven years of age. The older women had come to a consensus that it was important to make sure their daughters spent some real quality time with their mothers during this sensitive period.

Yukiko had long been a fan of onsens. Being a native of Japan's Oita Prefecture, she had spent her early years in a town literally full of the volcanically heated, therapeutic public baths. She was glad that her family's move before her first year of middle school to Koriyama in the Tohoku region had not kept her too far from such relaxing delights, even if they were a bit less prevalent. She was also grateful that it had allowed her to meet her best friend Junko, an energetic young girl with whom she had spent the golden years of her adolescence. Junko was a true and faithful friend with which she had experienced so many firsts...so many special and tender moments throughout her youth. Yukiko was looking forward to the weekend as not just an opportunity to get away from work, but also to rekindle and deepen her relationship with both her good friend and her daughter. While Yukiko knew that the work she did to help provide for her family meant that she couldn't always be there as much as she wanted, she at least hoped to maintain as close and warm a relationship as she could with the cute, energetic daughter who was the light of her life. While she did love her well-meaning but equally busy husband, Yukiko sometimes felt that with their hectic lifestyle, their mutual love of Shiori was the strongest thread holding them together.

Finally Shiori finished her climb to the top of the stairs. "Haaa, I'm so tired!"

"Well next time watch your mother pack and try to learn a thing or two!" Yukiko said, turning towards the door of the inn.

"Come on, I think Megumi and Mrs.Miyamoto are already waiting inside."

"Really? I'm gonna go say hi!" The girl dashed off, her luggage seemingly having lost a few kilos in her excitement.

"Wai-" Yukiko was about to start yelling again but figured that she might as well let the girl have her fun.

She slowly followed her daughter into the inn. Taking off her shoes and walking into the lobby, she rounded the corner to see her daughter standing alongside Junko and Megumi.

At first glance, it was almost unbelievable to think that Shiori and Megumi were nearly attached at the hip. For all of Shiori's energetic, flippant personality, Megumi was a paragon of shy, seriousness. With short black hair cropped to just below her ears, she wore a pair of cute pink-rimmed glasses and always seemed to have a book within arm's reach. While the girls didn't exactly share many of their innate gifts, they nevertheless enjoyed an easygoing partnership, with Shiori often taking the lead, and Megumi-chan providing the common sense during their youthful adventures. Thinking back to her own reserved and serious adolescent demeanor, Yukiko had to admit that the bold, fearless Junko and herself hadn't exactly been two peas in a pod when they had begun their friendship either. It was amusing to see that they had both raised girls with rather different personalities than their own.

"Junko!"

"Yukiko! It's good to see you!"

"It really is Junko! It's been 3 weeks since we've managed to even have lunch together. I REALLY need this vacation!"

"I know, I know. This weekend is going to be great. It looks like the girls are already excited too." Junko laughed in her typical, bright manner.

"Yes, Shiori couldn't keep still in the car. It's good to see you too Megumi! Your skirt looks so cute!" Yukiko greeted the girl as she glanced down at her adorable ruffled white skirt and stockings combo.

"Thank you Mrs.Tanabe. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." Megumi smiled and bowed politely to the older lady.

"Well I suppose we should check-in." Yukiko began making her way towards the counter until Junko laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Oh Yukiko, I already checked in for us. Our room is on the second floor, room 217, it's only 1 staircase away from the main bath."

"That sounds wonderful! Well come on Shiori, let's take our things to the room."

"Are we going to take a bath right now?" Shiori began walking alongside her mother as the party moved toward the stairs.

"Of course, that's why we're here right? This weekend we're going to take lots of baths and eat lots of good food I hope."

Junko chimed in as well. "Yes, our course dinner begins at 7, so let's hurry up and get ready to take a bath before we go."

"I'll race you up the stairs Megumi!" Shiori suddenly surprised her young friend by taking her hand and pulling her towards the stairs. The young girl was gazing off into the distance as she was apt to do, and was taken quite by surprise.

"Shiori, wait!" Megumi almost tripped. But soon enough, she figured out what her friend was up to, and chased after her. Yukiko and Junko watched what turned out to be a close race, at least until the two hit the stairs, where once again Shiori's massive suitcase left her stuck.

"No fair Megumi! Wait for me!" Megumi giggles echoed as she ran up the stairs with ease carrying her small overnight bag.

"I wish my girl could have a little more common sense like Megumi-chan" Yukiko complained as the two mothers laughed and walked behind their children.

"Well they're still young Yukiko, and you have to admit, a lot of the things we used to do wouldn't fall under our parents definition of "common sense" either."

Suddenly remembering a few of those fun and rash times, Yukiko couldn't help but smile. "I suppose you're right. Maybe having them a little bit off the "straight and narrow" is just what we'll need for this vacation.

"I hope so, Yukiko. I've never felt so excited or nervous about sharing something with my daughter before, but I think it'll be a lot of fun!" "Well, I admit I was more than a bit worried, but you made such a good point when we first spoke about it. Who are we to tell them to be any different than their silly mothers were?"

"Exactly! Now let's hurry up and get in that room so we can all get in the bath."

The two women continued their chatting as they slowly climbed the stairs to their room.

Yukiko pushed aside the pink curtain marking the women's bath and entered the changing room. As she marveled at the spacious interior, covered in straw-mat floors, her 3 traveling companions entered behind her.

"Wow Mom, this place is so BIG!"

"It really is! Yukiko, please thank your friend again for recommending this place!" Junko's voice chased after her as well.

All four of the girls had already changed into yukatas, thin Japanese style robes worn only with undergarments and tied at the waist with an obi sash. The mothers picked a set of four adjacent lockers for the group and everyone gathered around to undress for the bath.

While the girls had been to such places several times, it had indeed been several years since Yukiko had managed to organize any kind of family visit. Thus she was rather amused to note that both girls had grown more conscious of their bodies during the past 2 or 3 years and they both rushed to wrap themselves in towels before removing their underwear. Quite to the contrary, Junko and Yukiko had no such qualms, much like the other older women in the changing room. Removing their clothes in one fell swoop, they tucked their towels under their arms and turned to check on their daughters.

Shiori and Megumi finished putting their clothes in their lockers and turned toward their mothers. Yukiko couldn't help but smile at their wide-eyed surprise, seeing their mothers so casually nude in such a "public" place. They both gave the older ladies a once over, seemingly marveling at their full breasts and bushes. Of course the girls had bathed with their mothers for most of their childhood, so none of that was breaking news, but now that they had become more self-conscious, they couldn't fathom how anyone could be so bold while surrounded by so many others in such a public setting. Thankfully they both had the good sense to not say anything (lest moms try to get them to join the party) and only a pair of shocked expressions and the slight blush on Megumi's face belied what they were thinking.

"Let's go girls, first into the shower and then let's try out the onsen." Junko led the group through another set of sliding doors, tatami flooring turning to tile and then stone as they entered the bathing area.

"Woooow" Shiori admired once more, Yukiko almost wanting to echo her daughter's surprise as she took in the view of the luxurious, steamy bath.

This onsen had been recently renovated, but the architects had taken great pains to preserve the traditional feel. Wooden columns, walls, and ceilings surrounded a spacious stone-tiled area. To the left were several rows of showers and washing stations. In the center of the room lay the large hot water baths, a cooler area for children, and several specialty pools featuring different additives, water jets, and even an electric bath! To the right was a small pool of cold water for the especially daring or health conscious and doors which led to the rotenburo, the open-air hot spring pools. The two young girls padded alongside their mothers and eventually paired off by mother-daughter pairs into wash stations amongst the other guests.

Yukiko and Shiori turned on their faucets and began to wash themselves. The typical Japanese custom before entering the bath.

"Are you excited to get away for a bit, Shiori?"

"Yeah Mom, school has been very busy recently and I am so tired after studying for my math test."

"How did you do?"

"Mom!"

"Your mother is allowed to ask, isn't she?" Yukiko chided.

"But we're on vacation!" Shiori seemed determined to avoid the discussion.

"Fine, I suppose you'll just have to show me next week." She said with a pleasant but motherly smile. Shiori had never quite taken to the whole arithmetic thing.

As both of them begin to wash and shampoo, Yukiko caught herself stealing a few glances at her young daughter. Shirori had always enjoyed keeping her hair long (despite the time it often took her mother to brush and dry it, and even now it reached down to the middle of her back. She was of average height for a girl her age in Japan, about 4'5", but with a body well toned through her love of swimming and track, both at which she excelled. At 11 years old, the first hints of puberty had also begun to show themselves on the young girl. Yukiko felt a bit of motherly pride and admiration as she noticed the slight swells on the girl's still child-sized chest, Shiori's first step towards hopefully growing ample breasts like her mother's. (one thing that was still quite popular with her husband after all these years). The girl's hips were still a year or so from taking on a wider, mature form, but a glance towards their center showed that in the past year or so Shiori had spouted her first pubic hairs, they formed a small, sparse patch of fur that sat atop her little vagina and had begun to grow down the side. Looking at those wet hairs waving one by one in the shower's flow, Yukiko felt that while she could almost count them on her hands, they were nevertheless proof that her daughter was growing up healthily and normally.

"Shiori, let me wash you back." Yukiko offered.

"But mother!" Though the girl was sitting naked alongside her mother, she seemed to be hesitant to receive what she perceived as childish treatment.

"Come now Shiori, look, Megumi is letting Junko wash hers." Sure enough, the assertive Junko already had her hands and washcloth on her daughter's back a few showerheads down the row. Megumi however seemed distinctly uncomfortable about the whole thing, clutching her towel in front of her and looking quite embarrassed.

Shiori followed suit, covering her front with the towel and bending over for her mother.

A thorough backwash, shampoo, and several complaints of "too rough!" from Shiori later, and the four of them made their way over to the onsen. Yukiko and Junko took a seat amongst the hot water in the large bath, while their daughters, wet towels still wrapped around their shy, young bodies, took a seat a few meters over in the lukewarm bath. The two women settled into the bath together and began an almost normal conversation, the flowing water and echoing conversation of the patrons ensuring that they needn't worry about stray words drifting over to their young daughters or anyone else for that matter.

"This is just the best isn't it Yukiko?" Junko stretched out her arms and slid down into the steaming bath.

"I know Junko! It's been almost 2 years since I've even had a chance to come to a place like this with my little girl. I was glad to see that they're both growing up nicely. Megumi has started to sprout, she's almost as tall as Shiori!"

"I'm definitely happy about that. Shiori is such a wonderful little athlete. I hope she can get Megumi a bit more interested in the outdoors. Books are wonderful and important, but young girls need to swim, run, and jump a bit as well."

"Well not before her study habits rub off on Shiori! If I have to fight with her about her homework one more time..."

"Now, now Yukiko, all that will come in time. For now, let's just be glad that she is growing into a beautiful young girl, just like her mother." Junko said with a nostalgic smile.

Yukiko returned her friend's compliment with a warm smile of her own.

"I could say the same for Megumi as well. She just has the cutest little smile, whenever Shiori manages to coax it out of her of course, and I love what you do with her hair."

"It really is nice to see them both growing up as friends, it lets me re-live our school days a bit."

"I know, I can only hope they can enjoy the same wonderful times we did." Yukiko's gaze grew distant as she felt herself taking a trip down memory lane.

"Well they seem to have the friendship part down, but I suppose our plan is to teach them a few of our "secrets to happiness" as well." Junko spoke those last words with a mischievous smile.

Yukiko still felt hesitant about the long-discussed plans, but even though apprehension still colored her voice, she too had come around on the plan. "I know Junko, I still wonder if it's too early, but I'd much rather they learn what they need from us and have a responsible adolescence. I can't imagine what would happen if they learned some of life's most important lessons from some boy with all kinds of horrible intentions."

"Well I doubt many people would have called our "intentions" pure back in the day, but we had a lot of fun didn't we? We still do sometimes." She laughed and playfully nudged her best friend. Yukiko couldn't help but blush despite being quite the eager participant herself, whenever the pair managed to sneak in a trip to the local love hotel, the go-to choice for secret romantic escapades in Japanese culture.

"I know, I know, but we still grew up to be normal, married adults with children, and have good lives right? Do you think that we can guarantee it'll be the same for them?"

"Yukiko, you can't guarantee anything in life, heck for all we know, one of them might run off with a rock musician one day, man or woman."

"Don't scare me Junko!" The classical music purist Yukiko seemed petrified by the thought.

"Come now, Yukiko, you know the pressure these girls will feel as they grow up. There's all kinds of strange influences around them and we sure know that the things they teach them in health class are years behind what they deal with in day to day life. If we give them the tools to learn about these things for themselves, especially in a safe way that we both feel comfortable with as mothers, it'll be for the best." Junko reassured her as only she could.

"You're right, who better than your best friend, and what better teachers than moms like us." Yukiko's smile returned.

"Exactly Yukiko! It's going to work out, and as long as you promise not to abandon me, these girls will have two trustworthy parents they can confide anything to as well." Junko teased.

"Oh Junko, do you think I'd abandon you after all these years?"

"Well those years you speak of have been terrible for my skin!"

"Oh stop exaggerating! Plus those "years" haven't changed how good you are when we share a futon!" Apparently Yukiko didn't mind making their conversation a bit more personal either.

It was Junko's turn to be flattered. "Why Yukiko, you can say some bold things as well! With you by my side I'm sure we can handle wherever tonight may take us. By the way, did you bring those "things" we'll be needing for the next few days?"

"Of course Junko, it's not like I don't have them lying around normally. Plus, we don't need much more than ourselves to teach them."

"Most surely, especially with fingers like yours!"

"Junko! When you say it that way..." Yukiko could never be as bold as her friend despite their well-matched preference in all things from food to intimacy.

"Come on Yuki-chan! You know it's true. I even remember whe-oh, look the girls are coming this way."

As Junko just said, the girls had indeed risen from their own most assuredly less-lurid chat, and had made their way over to their mother's pool.

"Mom, are you ready to go? I'm hungry." Shiori bent over, her hands clenched around her towel-wrapped tummy. She did have a talent for the over-dramatic.

"Mom, it's already 6:45, dinner is soon right?"

The two mothers looked at the clock, and Junko was the first to speak. "You're right! We should hurry. Tonight it's going to be local beef from Yonezawa I hear!"

"Wow, that sounds delicious, it's been quite awhile since I've had a treat like that." Yukiko rose from the bath alongside her friend.

"Come on girls, let's get going!" Junko led the way as the party of girls made their way out of the bath.

"Yay I win again!" Shiori danced around barefooted in her pink yukata. The four girls were playing "Baba Nuki", an interesting variation of the American "Go Fish" card game. Across the table, Megumi sat holding the "Baba", a Joker, the final card in the game and the clear mark of who had lost.

"Megumi, let's play one more time, ne?" Shiori had begun to gather the cards from around the table, eager to go for her fourth victory.

"Alright Shiori, but I'm going to win this time!" Megumi said with a frustrated tone. Japanese kids loved their games of chance, but even the reasonable little girl was beginning to think she was a bit cursed after having lost 6 straight times as the group played.

Junko and Yukiko were also wearing light, breezy yukatas, content to let the girls run the show as they sat around recovering from the delicious dinner where they had all eaten way too much. Returning to the room from the inn's traditional Japanese restaurant, they had gotten comfortable and started playing games. As 9:30 approached, the inn staff would soon be on the way to move the tables and floor pillows and turn down the futons from the closet for the four of them.

As Megumi and Shiori were immersed in their final showdown, Yukiko turned to Junko with a proposal.

"Well since the ladies are about to come by to put down the futons for us, why don't we put this bath of ours to good use and hop in one more time before bed?"

Most onsen inns kept their baths open late into the night, often 24/7, but at larger, fancier places like these, the water could also flow into small, private baths in each of the guest rooms as well, offering a whole range of bathing experiences.

"That sounds great, Yukiko! It'll get us all relaxed before bed. I'm still feeling so sluggish after that meal, I could use a good soak. Girls, will you take a bath with us?"

"Ok Mom, just a moment." For once Megumi was the first to respond. She was on the cusp of victory and had a look of intense concentration on her face, despite the randomness of the outcome.

A few more moments passed and Yukiko was sure Megumi's unexpectedly loud cheer of victory was echoing down the hall. A faux-dejected Shiori was quick to get over her defeat and took revenge on her friend with a tickle attack.

As the girls screamed, laughed and rolled around on the tatami mat floor, Yukiko and Junko rose and prepared to enter the bath.

"I'll get the water ready Yukiko, you try and...break them up."

"Haha, alright. We'll be there in a moment." She turned to the wrestling pair. "Come on girls, it's time to go! Let's not keep Mrs. Miyamoto waiting." She gently wedged herself between the two girls, but they barely seemed to notice.

"Megumi-chan, don’t keep your mother waiting." Speaking a tad bit sternly, the smaller girl finally got the message. Calming down, she politely assented and went towards her mother who was now undressing by the closet as the bath filled.

Shiori was still panting from all the excitement as Yukiko set to work getting her overly energetic daughter ready for the bath.

"Hold still a moment Shiori!" Yukiko was undoing the girl's obi and trying to remove her yukata.

"Mother, I can do it myself!" Her daughter protested.

"Well you seemed so busy playing, so I'll take care of it." Reaching down she grabbed Shiori's underwear with two hands, pulling them down quickly and getting another good view of her daughter's developing body.

"Come on, step out of them Shiori."

Shiori quickly complied and ran off towards the bath, the loud conversation that soon followed indicated that her friend had already joined her.

Yukiko also undressed, unlocking the door to allow the staff to come in, then she made her way to the decently-sized washroom, closing and locking the door for privacy. Entering the bath, she saw Junko's naked form bent over the tub, making some final adjustments as Megumi and Shiori talked avidly about some manga they had both just finished. The girls seemed much more at ease with their nakedness around the two women who had seen them naked many times throughout their lives. Yukiko also had a chance to look over Megumi for the first time in several years. Though still a bit smaller than her daughter in both height and weight, it looks like the smart young girl was also experiencing the first stages of her development. Much like Shiori, Yukiko could see the first little peaks of puffy breast development and a quick glance to the girl's crotch showed that she too now had a sparse, wispy bit of hair beginning to line her vagina. As a mother, seeing these things didn't evoke some much of a sexual feeling inside her, but rather one of pride and happiness for the two young girls, a sign of their healthy growth. In the next 2 years or so, Yukiko expected that Junko and her would have the chance to cook some traditional red rice to celebrate the girls' first periods, the official beginning of their adolescence.

Walking past the girls and their loud conversation, Yukiko walked up next to Junko, observing the filling of the bath.

"Everything ready Junko?"

"Yeah, I think the water is just about right. Let's all wash and jump in. Come on girls, shower time."

The small bath only had one movable shower head so the two mothers sat their daughters down on the pair of stools and proceeded to rinse them thoroughly with the warm water in turns. Having already bathed earlier in the day, there was no need for a deeper cleanse.

With the girls finished, the moms swapped places with them, chatting for a few minutes as their daughters laughed and fought for the showerhead while gradually rinsing down their mothers.

With the washing finally done, the four of them shifted over to the bath. Yukiko and Junko were quick to enter, stepping over the edge and sliding down into the warm water. Shiori however, didn't make it past dipping her toe in, recoiling at the heat of the volcanic water.

"Ow, it's so hot! How do you guys sit in this?!"

Behind her, Megumi also seemed to be hesitating after seeing her friend's reaction.

"You just need to get used to it, Shiori" Junko advised, "Then it becomes really comfortable."

"But I can't even get in!" Came the immediate response. "Maybe I'll just try soaking my fee-wait mom!" In one quick playful motion, Yukiko had stood and scooped up her young daughter to the surprise of both Megumi and Shiori herself. Carrying the girl in her arms, she plopped her down in the tub with a fairly big splash.

"Mom! It's so hot! Why did you do that?!" Shiori made an act of struggling, but soon realized that her mother was right. Getting used to the water's temperature, she gave up her fighting and settled in resignedly next to her mother.

"Megumi-chan, will you be joining us?" Junko asked with a smile.

"M-mom, it looks REALLY hot!" The girl took a step back from the tub.

"Don't be silly, look at Shiori! She's fine right?" Junko cast a glance at the girl soaking in the tub.

"But Mom dragged me in! I said it was too h-mmm" Yukiko casually covered her daughter's mouth with a smile.

"See Megumi? Nothing to fear! Would you like me to carry you too?"

"Well...if you pick me up...I guess." The girl slowly edged towards her mother.

"Alright, here you go." Junko wrapped her arms around the girl, surprised at her heaviness having not lifted her for years. Gently she laid the girl down in the water next to her. Megumi gave a bit of a surprised yell as she directly felt the heat for the first time.

"How is it Megumi?" Asked Yukiko.

"It's....hot" The girl said quietly, but she too seemed to be adapting.

"Ahhh, it's so nice to be relaxing like this, just the four of us." Junko spoke up as she leaned back and relaxed.

"I know Junko, it's always so busy at home, I'm glad I can spend some time with my daughter. Are you having fun Shiori?"

"Yeah Mom, it's pretty fun."

Junko looked over at her daughter seated beside her, red-faced from the heat. "How about you Megumi? Is your old mother too boring for you?"

Megumi smiled up at her mother. "No Mom, I'm glad we're together, during the week you're always so busy."

"I know Megumi dearest. Yukiko and I are sad we don't always get to spend time with you guys, so we wanted to bring you here." She patted her daughter's head as she spoke.

Yukiko also took the chance to wrap her arm around her little Shiori. "Junko's right, this is just a special trip for us 4 girls, so let's have lots of fun together." Smiling , both girl's nestled comfortably into their mother's arms. 20 minutes passed this way as the mothers and daughters joked and chatted about all manners of things. It was only when the older women noticed both their daughters growing silent and drowsy in the heat that Junko gave Yukiko a nod to wrap things up.

"Shiori, it's been a good soak but I think we should get ready for bed!"

"Okay...." Shiori looked half asleep already.

"Well I guess it can't be helped Yukiko, let's give them a hand."

With that the two of them slipped their hands under the girls and lifted them out of the water. Setting down Shiori to dry off, Yukiko cracked the door and noted that the futons had indeed been brought out and turned down. The heater had also been turned on to help ward off the cold during the chilly mountain night.

Returning to the bath, the two mothers toweled off while helping their daughters as well. After brushing their teeth, the girl's returned to the room to put on their yukatas and panties while their mothers finished their work in the bathroom.

"Well Yukiko, it's finally time, isn't it?" Junko said as she checked herself in the mirror.

"I know Junko, but I'm still nervous! Will they be too shocked?" Yukiko was still fretting that her daughter might be too unprepared for tonight's plans.

"I'm sure they will be SURPRISED Yukiko, but not scared. We're their mothers of course. They love us and trust us and we've never given them a reason not to. Tonight is the same thing, we're going to teach them something wonderful, not scary."

"I suppose you're right."

"Yukiko, remember how awkward things were for us at first, all that misguided experimentation. We'll be doing them a favor! It's all a matter of being gentle and supportive. We've both had a lifetime of practice with that, so let's put it to use again tonight." Junko always was the headstrong one when it came to any plans the two cooked up.

"Y-your right Junko, let's do our best. Just thinking back to those times we spent together just makes me feel so..."

"Hey, we STILL spend time together! Don't go forgetting on me now Yukiko!" The woman playfully elbowed her friend again.

"You're right, you're right. I guess the thought of me teaching and touching my own daughter..."

"It's better than someone else, especially a boy doing it. Plus have you not loved and cuddled Shiori since she was young? This is more of the same."

"Well when you put it that way..." Yukiko felt her confidence returning.

"Don't forget tonight's "special ingredient" Yukiko, you have it right? I doubt this will go too smoothly otherwise, this being their first time and all."

"Of course! I'll slip it into the pocket of my yukata when I get dressed."

"Perfect! Let's do our best tonight! Think about it, two best friends, passing on their secrets to their daughters."

"And what fun secrets they are, Junko." Yukiko smiled as her friend left the bathroom before her.

As Yukiko returned to the room, the girls, hair still a bit damp, had seemingly made the preparations for bed and were playing cards once more at the table that had now been moved to a corner near the door. Drowsy, the pair muffled yawns as they played. Junko had also gotten dressed and opened the window to the balcony, taking a look outside in the moonlight.

Yukiko went to the closet and took her clothes from the shelf to get dressed. As she finished, she subtly fished through her bag while the girls were distracted by their game, fishing out the small tube of gel Junko had reminded her about. They didn't want to take any chances that a little "friction" could be the fatal flaw in their plan.

Preparations complete, she closed the closet and turned towards Shiori and Megumi.

"Last one girls, then it's time for bed."

"Hai~" The girls' acknowledgement came in unison as they remained focused on their game. Junko slipped back into the room and closed the door, leaving the curtains open so that some of the pleasant moonlight would still filter through, giving the two mothers a bit of illumination to see what they would be doing.

Seeing that another game of "Baba Nuki" had concluded with Shiori the winner and Megumi again left exasperated at her awful luck, Yukiko hit the light switch, making the girls shriek in surprise, followed by their surprised laughter.

"Come on you two, get into bed now."

Yukiko waited for the two girls to crawl into their futons before entering her own. With the two girls sleeping side by side in the middle of the room, the mothers took their places in the futons on either side.

As they all got settled into bed, the group continued to chat, as girls were apt to do at any sleepover. Along with their mothers they discussed a whole range of topics, ranging from sweets to clothes, and of course their least favorite teachers and most hated boys. Yukiko and Junko took the time to join in, enjoying themselves while learning much more about their daughters' likes and dislikes than they often had the time for at home. It was also refreshing for them to be able to laugh and kid around like they did when they were younger. The very scene reminded Yukiko of school trips and late nights spent chatting with friends.

Eventually conversation began to taper off as the clock approached 11:15 and the girls' exhaustion set it, nearly a whole hour past their usual school-week bedtimes. Taking a cue from a lull in the conversation, Junko nodded surreptitiously to Yukiko in the moonlight. It looked like Yukiko no longer had any time for regrets or nervousness. Junko took the lead on things, almost as a matter of course:

"What a fun day, ne? It's been so long since I've done something like this. It really reminds me of our school trips doesn't it Yukiko?"

"It really does, all those nights staying up talking, we'd even come to places like this sometimes."

Shiori's interest was piqued despite her sleepiness: "Mom, you went on school trips together?"

"Of course! You remember I told you how Mrs. Miyamoto and I were best friends and on the basketball team? We traveled together lots of times."

"You guys got to stay at onsens, Mom?" Megumi asked.

"Yeah, they're not very popular with the kids nowadays, but when we were young it was a popular place. We'd all take baths, eat dinner, and then stay up talking and playing games together."

"What games?" Shiori inquired.

"Well sometimes it was Baba Nuki, just like tonight. But sometimes I guess us girls would gossip about silly things, tell ghost stories, or try some "beauty techniques" on each other."

"Beauty techniques?" Megumi in her innocence of course took the bait.

Junko looked over at her best friend and smiled. "Should we really tell them Yukiko?"

"I don't see why not Junko." Yukiko looked down at the two girls, whose eyes were glued to Yukiko in the moonlight as she continued her story: "Well it may seem silly, but when we were young, breast massages were really popular with girls. We all believed they'd make our breasts bigger, the magazines would write about it."

The younger girls both looked a bit shocked at the older woman's admission, mouths gaping, trying to process what they had just heard.

"Well, of course we had to try it on each other, we kept hoping that we'd grow up to have big, pretty breasts. I guess I can proudly say that I did a good job on Yukiko." Junko laughed as she related the story and compliment.

"Oh Junko don't be silly, I know lots of boys talked about how amazing they thought your chest was in high school!"

"Well that's thanks to you!" The two women lapsed into laughter as their daughters shared a shocked and baffled glance. Not only were their mothers talking about such "embarrassing" things, they apparently had massaged each others' breasts when they were young!

"B-breast massages?" Megumi finally stammered.

"What do you mean?" Shiori helped finish her thoughts as the quieter girl tapered off.

"Well Yukiko, I suppose we could explain, but maybe showing them might be better. Don't you agree?" Junko suggested, leaving no doubt as to where things were going.

"Oh I think that would be fine. I noticed in the bath that both Shiori and Megumi-chan's breasts are starting to grow, it might help if their mothers taught them how to keep them healthy." Seeing the dumbstruck, shocked looks on the two girls' faces, Yukiko was certain that in a brighter light they'd both be bright red right now.

"So, what do you think? Do you want to try it?" Junko looked down at the girls assertively. Shiori and Megumi shared a long glance, seemingly having a telepathic debate. Finally Shiori looked back to her mother, announcing the decision for both of them. "OK." She said, her voice a flush with trepidation but also curiosity.

"Well let's take off your blankets and we'll get started." Yukiko replied, already reaching for Shiori's. The two mothers pulled the blankets off their daughters and then proceeded to undo the knot of the girl's yukatas.

Removing the sash from around their waists, they pulled open the girls' robes, exposing the pair's bare chests and pink cotton panties.

As Yukiko looked over the girls' bodies, she was entranced by the beautiful way the moonlight played over them, almost causing their skin to glow. She drank in the scene starting from the girls' bare feet pointed towards the window, all the way to the small swells on their chests and their cute faces full of both curiosity and hesitation.

"Don't they look pretty Yukiko? It's like both Shiori and Megumi really are becoming young women." Junko said as she looked down at the two precious treasures nestled between them.

"I agree Junko, they've really grown up recently it seems."Even as Yukiko praised them, the girls' faces seemed to show that they found their mothers' words much more embarrassing than comforting.

"Well I suppose we should start, are you ready girls?" Junko asked, hand already poised over her daughter's breasts.

"I guess so." Megumi said. It was her turn to answer for the pair it seemed. "It's pretty simple girls." Yukiko began. "You mostly try to rub around your breasts in circles to increase their circulation."

In time with her explanation, Yukiko placed her hand gently on Shiori's chest, evoking a small gasp from the girl as her mother began to circle her fingers around the swell of her right breast bud.

Junko had started with Megumi as well, who also wore a surprised look on her face.

"Just like this, we'd rub each other to improve our skin tone and help our breasts grow."

The two younger girls turned their heads to look at each other, giggling in a way that suggested both their embarrassment and their shock at seeing their mothers in a whole new light.

"Does it feel good Megumi?" Yukiko asked.

"Yes, Tanabe-san." Megumi replied with hesitation. Both girls seemed to be unsure of how to interpret the light and pleasant sensation they were feeling, but were enjoying it well enough.

The two women continued, using their hands to gently trace and rub the girls' developing breasts; circling, stroking, and rubbing gently. Gradually the girls' nipples had begun to stiffen, small brown peaks standing to attention as they continued to feel surprising new sensations.

Shiori and Megumi had grown quiet, so quiet in fact that Yukiko could easily make out the sound of their elevated breathing as she continued alternating between her daughter's two small breasts. Leaning down, she used her other hand to brush aside a few stray strands of Shiori's hair and then planted a series of gentle, loving kisses on her forehead. Across from her, nary 2 feet away, it appeared that Junko was relaxing her daughter in much the same way.

"So just remember this now that you're growing up, girls. A few times a week will help your breasts stay healthy and firm."

"You can even do it together when you have sleepovers." Junko suggested airily. The silent, shocked faces of the two 11 year-olds indicated that they thought the suggestion to be much more strange than Junko did.

As the mothers continued their ministrations in silence, the girls gradually became caught up in the flow themselves, staying silent and closing their eyes, starting to enjoy the pleasing, gentle new sensations they were feeling around their young breasts. The mothers had snuggled up tenderly next to their precious offspring, nuzzling and kissing them from time to time as they guided them through this new experience. As different as the two girls' personalities might be, right now they looked equally serene, eyes closed, seemingly soaking up the warm, loving feelings that their mothers were providing them, despite their earlier surprise.

Finally, nearly 10 minutes having passed in this relaxed, dreamy state, another shared glance was how Junko signaled to Yukiko that it was time to take the biggest risk of the night. Breaking the tranquility, it was Junko who chose to rouse the pair from their pleasurable stupor.

"So now they know how to do a breast massage, right? Yukiko, should we tell them about the other game we used to play?"

"Do you really think they're ready Junko?"

"What is it mom?" Shiori was surprisingly alert given the late hour, she obviously was intrigued as to where this conversation was going. Even shy Megumi seemed to be looking on silently with rapt attention.

"Well Megumi, your mom and Yukiko-san learned a lot of "health" massages when we were young, and sometimes we even massaged right...down...here." Megumi squeaked in surprise, nearly crossing her legs as her mother gently but unexpectedly rested her right hand square atop Megumi's pink panties.

"Oh THAT massage, Junko? I still remember. It was one of my favorites. I wonder if they are willing to try it?" Yukiko's spoken thoughts were followed by another gasp from Shiori's side as she began using her index finger to trace little circles atop her daughter's panty-covered nether regions.

"Well girls, do you want to see what we used to do?" Junko looked at the pair with a serious, inquiring expression.

Yukiko could still see the shock and uncertainty in both girls' eyes, having had so much thrown at them so quickly. But also tugging at them was the fresh memories of the pleasurable touches their mothers whom they loved and admired had given them and the sense that they were being let in on the secrets of "growing up" and turning into a teenager.

This time the response was a bit longer in coming, but finally Megumi spoke up.

"I'm fine with it mommy. Everything has felt so good." The girl seemed oddly comfortable despite her shy demeanor.

Shiori took a big breath, looked her own mother in the eye and said "OK Mom, I want to learn too."

Junko and Yukiko shared another glance. While the more assertive woman hardly ever hesitated, Yukiko still needed a second to ready herself now that the moment was upon her. Shiori was her beloved daughter whom she had given birth to and raised lovingly, doing the very best she could. Even in this moment full of sexual tension, she didn't feel a sexual attraction to her daughter per se, but instead a strong desire to induct her into the same kind of friendly intimacy that Junko and her had enjoyed for all these years, which had helped turn them into happy, healthy, satisfied adults despite the many pitfalls and stresses of life. She hoped that many years later her daughter would be grateful for this night and all that was to come.

Junko had apparently worked her way through her own hesitation long before, for as Yukiko continued to sit there lost in thought, she interjected with a bright voice:

"Well it looks like everyone is ready, Yuki-chan!"

Without further ado, she gripped her daughter's panties and slipped them off in one smooth motion, a move that left the two girls, and especially Megumi, the victim of the sudden attack, completely stunned.

Shiori suddenly spoke up: "Wait Mom, you mean UNDER our panties?!"

"Of course dear. That's how it feels the best, just wait and see." Yukiko was already sliding her own daughter's panties off and Shiori could hardly complain given the nakedness of her best friend next to her.

Yukiko took a second to glance at the two cute girls, nude bodies illuminated dimly in the moonlight. Though they still were "wearing" their pink and white flower patterned yukatas on their arms and back, their young, pubescent bodies were laid out from head to toe for their mothers to see. Yukiko was glad that the heater was keeping the room warm as it would let the girls enjoy what came next without getting a chill.

"Well Yukiko, I supposed we should check whether we need "that"." Junko said mischievously. In the darkness suddenly another gasp of surprise ("MOM!") escaped from Megumi, who was sadly at the mercy of her full-throttle, excitable mother. Junko had proactively mentioned the thought to Yukiko yesterday, reminding her that the girls probably had little concept of sexual pleasure beyond simple individual explorations at night and perhaps a stray moment or two spent rubbing themselves against toys or furniture when they were younger. She doubted that the girls' bodies would have the experience and awareness to really anticipate what their mothers had planned, all of which meant they might not be too wet at the moment.

Junko had gently stroked her daughter's soft, bare slit for the first time and confirmed her hypothesis. "It looks like my Megumi's body is doing her best Yukiko, but I think we might need a little help over here. How's Shiori-chan?"

Shiori had only a second to look down and try to grasp the situation before her mother gently slid her hand down her stomach, over her sparse pubic hair, and caused a shiver to rush up her spine as she slid her finger softly and adventurously through her daughter's soft netherlips.

As Yukiko quietly stroked her daughter's most private places, she was surprised to actually find a slight hint of warmth and lubrication. She was also reminded of the wonders of youth, the girl's tender flesh in and around that tiny slit was still as soft as velvet, much as her friends’ had been so many years before. But nevertheless her wetness was probably not enough to start things comfortably and the girls deserved the "easy course" tonight, at least until they learned to appreciate these kinds of pleasures for themselves.

"I do think "that" would be a good idea Junko." Yukiko laughed and reached into her yukata pocket.

Removing the small bottle of self-warming lubricant, she popped the cap and squeezed a liberal amount onto her hand in the dark. She then passed the bottle on to her friend who likewise filled up her hand with the warm, slippery substance. Yukiko glanced at the girls and was amused to see their puzzled and nervous expressions in the dark. Their mothers' vagueness had left them quite clueless as to what was going on.

"Ready Yukiko?"

"I hope you enjoy this, you two" Yukiko readied her hand near her daughter's most private of places and watched Junko do the same. "Se, no!" Junko counted down in Japanese.

In unison the two women clamped their hands over their daughters' virgin slits.

The response from the girls was immediate. A sudden gasp when the cool lubricant first touched them, and then seconds later the warming sensation led to another, deeper breath of surprise.

"Whooooa" Shiori couldn't suppress her reaction to the new feeling.

"It's really warm..." Megumi added shyly, adjusting to the feeling against her most sensitive areas.

"Desho?" (Right?) Junko was pleased to see them handing it well. "This'll make it even more comfortable, girls. Now just close your eyes and relax."

Despite the admonition, Shiori and Megumi were still looking at each other in the darkness with a mix of surprise and anticipation as their mothers began to use their index and middle fingers to gently masturbate the girls.

Yukiko began to work the warming lubricant even deeper into her daughters' folds. She smiled as she saw her daughters' mouth form a silent "o"-shape, it looked like Shiori was simply overcome by the sudden pleasure. Yukiko loved the feeling of her hands slipping so easily between her daughter's labia. After tracing the curve of that little clam shell a few times, she let her fingers wander upwards, feeling for her daughter's clitoris, hidden within that small patch of wiry black hair she had sprouted. When Yukiko finally found it under the little skin flap, it was as if her index finger was sliding over a tiny little split-pea, and it was the first time she heard her daughter moan.

"Is that good Shiori?" Yukiko whispered into her daughter's ear as she continued her loving caresses.

"Yes Mom, it feels soooo good." Shiori's breathing had become a bit uneven. A quick glance downwards told Yukiko that her daughter had started to spread her legs a bit, toes curling in pleasure as she tried to open herself up to her mother's touch. For Yukiko, this all felt so familiar, as if it was only yesterday that she was playing with a young Junko after school. But even so, with her hand between her daughter's thighs everything had an even greater thrill about it. Still, Yukiko remained focused, determined to leave a positive impression with Shiori.

Suddenly, a high-pitched moan caused Yukiko to look over at Junko and Megumi. The little girl was arching her back a bit as her mother seemingly spun quick little circles around what was surely the girl's tiny love button. Junko took a moment from whispering loving encouragement to her own daughter to smile at Yukiko.

"They seem to like it, ne?" Junko whispered.

"What little girl wouldn't Junko?" Yukiko smiled back at her friend. Yukiko and Junko continued their warm, slippery fingering of their two young girls. While the girls were moaning regularly now, cradled in the mothers' loving embrace, Yukiko wasn't too worried about the group being overheard. At nice inns like this, a bit of privacy was built into the construction. While no one might imagine that two mothers would be doing something so daring with their children, plenty of couples came to stay at places like this, and they surely demanded some privacy to "relax". The girls had begun to move and writhe a bit as well. Shiori had now spread her legs so much that her right foot was resting atop of her friend’s. Megumi on the other hand seemed to have a penchant for lifting herself slightly, arching her back, reacting to the wonderful pleasure her mother was giving her. But the cutest of all was how the girls had unconsciously joined hands, holding on to one another as they experienced sexual pleasure for the first time.

The high-quality lube Yukiko had bought ensured that her fingers glided over her daughter's soft lips with nary a hint of friction, but Yukiko had also begun to notice a bit of a fishy, sexy smell beginning to permeate the room. It looked like even girls as young as Shiori and Megumi could get pretty wet when they were this turned on.

As Yukiko set about focusing on Shiori's clitoris once more, she noticed her daughter was slowly beginning to clench her thighs a bit rhythmically, her moaning growing a bit louder. Figuring that she was getting close, Yukiko removed her head from beside her daughter's, moving down to her neck, planting gentle kisses as she went. Shiori's squirming slowly increased under her mother's ministrations. Eventually she reached her daughter's right left nipple, gently fastening her mouth to the sensitive tip, swirling her tongue around it lightly, teasingly.

Junko glanced over to see her friend pleasuring Shiori's chest and moved to do the same to her own daughter.

"Good thinking Yukiko." She said as she began to swipe her tongue gently over Megumi's tiny brown peaks, causing the girl to move and twist about even more.

The added simulation on Shiori's sensitive little breasts seemed to do the trick, and after a few more minutes of stroking the girl's slick vagina, with some passionate 2-fingered circling of her clitoris, Shiori began to cum.

Low moans became louder, the girl's thighs began flapping about. With her finger still sliding between those virgin folds, Yukiko felt the quick, tiny contractions begin, and stopped her suckling to be next to her daughter during this special moment. Shiori looked up at her mother's smiling face almost desperately, her face a mix of ecstasy and surprise. "Mom!" she barely managed to say in a desperate voice, her climax almost knocking the wind out of her body.

"I know Shiori, I know. Just let it feel good..." She bent down and gave her daughter another kiss on her sweaty forehead, continued to smile reassuringly and stroke the girl tenderly until she rode out those pleasurable contractions and gradually began to come down from her orgasmic high.

"Come on Megumi, just let it happen! Let it go!" As Yukiko and Shiori grew quiet, their orgasmic commotion was replaced by Junko's voice, the rapid schlicking sound of her fingers along Megumi's pussy, and the young girl's desperate mewling as she approached her own peak.

Yukiko was perfectly content to be a smiling spectator as she watched Junko expertly masturbate her daughter to her pleasurable finale. It only took another minute or so and Megumi gave one more big heave: back arching, toes curling, trapping her mother's hand between her soft thighs as she experienced an unforgettable first climax.

Junko showered the girl's chest and neck with kisses as she slowly settled down. Megumi finally released her mother's hand from the vice grip of her thighs, too overcome to be ashamed, her legs fell wide open to reveal a slick and wet center whose shining moisture could even be seen in the moonlight. The two girls continued to catch their breath while being tenderly caressed by their mothers.

"They did great, didn't they Yukiko?"

"It sure looked like they had fun. Did you have fun Shiori?" Yukiko whispered lovingly to her daughter.

Shiori was still breathing heavily, words still beyond her, she merely nodded quietly in response.

"Megumi was really brave as well." Junko said, kissing her daughter once more. "You better not forget this lesson Megumi!" She smiled. Megumi was in the same boat as Shiori, she was just staring at the ceiling, chest and tummy heaving, a "WOW" expression plastered on her face.

After a few more minutes of silent cuddling, Yukiko took a break from holding her daughter and enjoying the sexy smell of sweat and girl cum to check the clock.

"I suppose it's FINALLY time for bed Junko, we can talk to the girls about their lesson in the morning."

"But Yuki-chan, we can't let them go to bed like this, they'll be all stinky." "That's right, so I brought these." Reaching into her purse in the dark, Yukiko fished out a box of baby wipes.

"That'll be just perfect." Junko said, reaching for a couple. The mothers spent the next few minutes wiping down their daughters. First they wiped the sweat off their forehead and chest, then they moved down to the girl's sensitive bottom halves, tenderly wiping away both lube and girl cum from the girls' thighs, bottoms, and finally (with plenty more squirming, blushing and heavy breathing) the girls' sensitive vulvas as well.

Throughout the whole experience the girls sat there quietly, still in awe, pondering what they just experienced. From their reactions, Yukiko was certain it was their first climax. Having thoroughly cleaned up her young daughter, she softly slipped Shiori's feet through her panties and pulled them up. Junko and her then finished things by tying the girls' yukatas again and tucking them back into bed.

It was only as the mothers gave the girls their final goodnight kisses that the pair of them finally were able to put words to their feelings.

"I love you Mom" Shiori whispered, nestled in her mother's warm embrace beneath the sheets.

"Thank you Mother." Megumi also had her head tucked into her mother's breasts.

"You're welcome." The mothers replied in unison, pulling their precious loves even tighter into their chests.

Safe and protected it took only seconds more for the little girls to fall into a deep, satisfied sleep.

Thank you for reading. Chapter 2 is coming soon!
