Hajime yawned for about the fifth time in a few minutes, Samon standing by his side, bangs clipped up, with his swimming shorts on.

"Everyone, we will sit closer to the water this time, and we will have much more time." Hajime announced.

   Samon opened his arms, "Go have fun everyone, and come to me if you need anything." The kids gathered to hug Samon before they all scattered about on the beach.

Jyugo, Uno, and Tsukumo all ran to where the ocean met the sand. Jyugo put his hands in the water, letting out such a heavy sigh.

   Relieved.

   "It's so cold!" Tsukumo squeaked the second his toes touched the water. Jyugo looked over at Tsukumo, and giggled.

Tsukumos swim trunks were decorated all over with ninja stars, his face mask was gone as well.

"Sit next to me." Jyugo invited the both of them to sit with him.

Liang ran from one side of the beach to another, Rock and Upa chasing after him, giggling.

Musashi and Nico building a sand castle together, talking and creating verbal blueprints for their next build.

Trois and Honey were having a swimming race in the ocean, though Samon would often shout at them not to swim too far. Jyugo, Uno, and Tsukumo cheered them on from the sand.

   "Jyugo?! You wanna race with us?" Trois asked, swimming to the sand with Honey behind him, "You can swim can't you?"

Jyugo nodded, and jumped into the water. The moment he kicked off to swim away, it was noticeable how amazing a swimmer he was.

He moved in the water with no problem. Like he was half fish. Trois and Honey jumped in behind him.

Jyugo giggled as Honey and Trois tried to catch up with him. Then Jyugo lied back, floating on the water. He shut his eyes.

After about a half hour, the three of them got out the ocean. Jyugos hair stuck to the sides of his head, so he pushed his bangs back.

"Samon? Do you have a clip?" Jyugo ran up to Samon, his feet leaving clear tracks. Samon reached into a nearby bag.

"Yeah, turn around I'll tie your hair back for you." Samon examined Jyugos situation. While Samon began to squeeze out the water from Jyugos hair; Jyugo stared at Nico and Musashi building yet another sand castle.

He saw a few of them when he went for a swim. Liang was with them, carving windows into the castle of sand.

"Alright, all done Jyugo."

Jyugo stood up, thanked Samon, and ran to Liang, Nico, and Musashi.

"Hey Jyugo!" They all chimed happily.

"This looked fun."

   "We are making castles. It's very difficult." Liang sighed, "But Nico is really good at teaching you how to do it." Liang sat close to Nico, giving him a hug.

   "I can teach you if you want Jyugo!"

   "Yeah! That'd be great." Jyugo sat across from Nico, his bucket in his lap.

   Nico filled his bucket with sand, patting it down so the surface was smoothed down. He flipped the bucket over quickly, patting the end, unsticking any excess sand from the bottom.

   Carefully, he lifted the bucket, and under it was an exact replica of the bucket in sand form.

   Jyugo followed Nico carefully, and Jyugos castle was off to an excellent start.

   "Carving designs into it is easy, just be gentle, and use one finger to trace a shape." Nico explained, while tracing a square window, and within the square he traced a cross shape.

   Jyugo traced many shapes into the sand monument. Hearts, stars, lopsided circles, even bunny ears.

   Liang watched from a distance, his index finger approaching his lips. Then he spoke.

   "J-Jyugo? Can I write my name on the top?" Liang asked, and Jyugo nodded with no hesitation.

   "Nico, Musashi, you can write your name too, I'll go get everyone else." Jyugo stood up, careful not to knock over his castle.

   "Uno! Rock! Upa! Tsukumo! Honey! Trois! Come write your name on the castle!"

   They all gathered at the sand castle making area. Area created by Nico and Musashi themselves.

   All ten of them signed their name on the castle, then collectively created one giant castle together.

   Samon got a group picture with them all by the castle they signed. Their arms all around each other. Their smiles all so pure and heart warming.

   Samon looked at Hajime, "You better be taking pictures as well."

   "Got it, got it." Hajime waved Samon off, and continued reading a book.

   Kaguya was put at ease seeing Jyugo smile so much. Momoko sat beside Kaguya, hugging her. She sensed the relief within her watching Jyugo.

   In fact, they all were thankful. Jyugo deserves so much. They were all glad they could provide him with the love he deserves and needs.
