The sun was rising above the water, August guessed it was already about midday. She could see the plants soaking up the heat in a way she had never consitered odd before. In reality, she thought everyone could hear the happy little wistle of a dry plant recieving the much awaited water drops or rays of sun.
This time of day sometimes made other uncomfortable, the heat was pretty strong in the summer months. But for one, it was cold here, and second off, it was one of August's favorite time of day. She figured most people would turn in for lunch around now, but she had eaten such a late breakfast and cookies, so she wasn't hungry now, and supposed she'd skip lunch altogether today. It was so peaceful here anyways, and if she wanted, she could get an early supper.
And she wasn't really like ignoring the others, more of in her own little world. When a boy had touched her, it kind of, well, creeped her out. They had only just met a couple of hours earlier, so rather she didn't really realize she had been spoken too.

Kira walked out of the changing room, a pair of black trunks on. His upper body now showed with a few scars from the new rougher lifestyle that involved fights with assassins and many more things. He knew Rivera could heal him every so often, but that didn't mean scars wouldn't show. He walked into the water quietly, then sat down next to Rivera. The springs felt good to his currently sore muscles. The first part of training with her had been rather difficult. He sighed and sank up to his neck in the water, relaxing quietly.

August dove under water again, leaving her eyes open. The water seemed dark and mysterious to her from above, but below it seemed crystal clear, which was weird to her.
She saw a few plants sprouting up between rocks and smiled. She loved plants. But she couldn't stay down forever. She surfaced closer to Souno, struggling to read his mind but it was just too hard. Still, she didn't say anything, and don't get me wrong, it wasn't because she hated him or anything, she'd just not a "social butterfly."

"Chi, bet you!" Kimonto called to Hideki as she toched the gates to the hotsprings. She stuck her tongue out at him and giggled slightly as she hugged him again, unable to stop it seemed. She then panted for a second, gaining control of her breathing as she looked around. She slipped off her shirt and jeans to revel a white bikini with red cherrys on it and then put a hair-tie in her mouth as she started to pull her hair together. She glanced at him and realised he didn't have a suit "I'm pretty sure there are some inside the changing rooms" she said brightly as she put her hair up. "I'll be in the co-ed side, just come in soon" she said as she then practically ran into the springs and sighed from the good feeling of the water.

Hideki nodded his head, laughing to himself. "It seems you did, love. Congratulations." He smiled at her and then took a deep breath, since he was a little out of breath as well. It was quickly regained though as he stared towards the springs, glancing back at her in time to see her taking off her jeans. He blinked, a bit surprised she'd done it right here rather than inside. Though, he guessed it didn't really matter since she was already dressed. "Oh, ok... good," he nodded, relieved they'd have some. He didn't really want to have to worry about keeping a towel on himself the entire time. "Alright, I'll meet you there." He watched her run off and chuckled to himself as he walked to the men's changing rooms and found one of the extra suits. Hoping the black trunks had been washed recently, he quickly changed into it, grabbed a towel, and entered the co-ed side of the springs. He glanced around and saw Kim as he came up behind her, slipping into the water at her side. "Hello, love," he grinned.

"So cute! That never get's old!!!" she said spazzing and giggling at the same time. She smiled as she looked at him and hugged him again, it seemed a bit repetative, but he was fun to hug, he didn't try anything and was just all around sweet. Honestly she couldn't figure out why anyone wouldn't talk to him, but sometimes humans could be harsh. She dunked her head under the water, her ears going flat against her head from the sudden warmth but then went back to normal as she smiled and resurfaced. She swam up in front of him and crossed her legs as she giggled "Alright, I'm making you my best friend, so let's make up a handshake okay?" she asked. Childish was always what she would be, she was just glad that he didn't mind and went along with everything. It seemed that these days, everyone was just trying to grow up too fast, and it sort of worried her. She wanted to stay a kid forever, because when your a kid, you don't have to face the responsiablities of your heart and things like love.

Rivera smiled contently. It's been a long time since she was able to completely relax. Even the picnic had its troubles. The first lesson had given her quite an impact, especially on the area around her breastbone. She kept her towel wrapped tightly around her body. The only swimsuit she had was a haltertop bikini, and she hated it. C'mon, it was a bikini without a back. She hated anything that went too low down her chest or didn't cover her back. Even her tanktops had their limits. Looking into the steam, she could see wispy patterns of strange creatures and other things of her imagination.

Hideki laughed, shaking his head. "It is not," he protested, looking down at her as she hugged him yet again. He couldn't say he didn't mind though. Making up for all the hugs I never got, he told himself with a small chuckle. He watched as she dunked under and tilted his head, watching her ears as they flattened and perked shortly after. He wondered for just a second what it'd be like to have them. His wolf ears didn't stay on his head while he was in this form like his tail did, so he had no idea. He shrugged it off though, tail wagging under the water as he watched her, blinking at her words. "A... secret handshake?" he asked, suddenly excited. He'd seen people do them before, but he'd never known them. He grinned broadly at her as he bobbed his head up and down. "Ok, love! But... how?"

Kimonto grinned at his enthuasism and considered for a minute of what they could do. Finally, she motioned for him to pay attention and look at what she was doing with her hands. She reached her right hand forward and grabbed his left hand and then reached her left hand over and grabbed his right. Then she moved them over so that her right hand was on top with his left hand and did that over. The last step was to bring them up then down and then let go and she pushed both her hands against his in a high five sort of thing. She laughed wondering if he would be able to remember that, but thought it was fun to do never the less.

Hideki watched her for a moment, and then looked down at their hands. He watched carefully, actually paying very close attention so he'd be able to remember. He blinked a couple times, staring intently at everything she did. After she'd finished he paused for a second, just sitting there. Then he grinned. "Ok, lemme try!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her left hand in his right and her right in his left. Then she turned their hands over so his was on top and then back again before lifting them up and down and then highfiving her. He laughed afterwards, feeling slightly silly but not caring at all. "Is that it?" he grinned.

"Yay!" Kimonto said laughing as she clapped her hands together impressed by him. She smiled brightly as she looked at him and couldn't help but giggle some more. She then took him by the hand moving him out to the water a bit more and then suddenly jumped. She moved ontop of him and dunked his head under the water laughing as she then let go and stuck at her tongue. "Just try and catch me!" she yelled after him as she swam away quickly. She got under water as she found it better to swim that way, though to be honest for a neko girl, she loved water a lot. She was a rather strange girl either way though so it didn't seem to matter much to anyone. She continued to swim faster, guessing that he was a good swimmer, but not knowing for sure.

Hideki nodded happily, curiously allowing her to pull him more into the water. He watched her for a second, eyes closing tightly as he saw she was jumping at him. He held his breath as his head was pushed under, and then came back up a second later. "H-hey!" he spluttered, wiping at his face as water dripped down from his hair, which was in his eyes now. He brushed it aside, causing it to stick up oddly as he charged after her, cutting through the water and rapidly gaining. He was actually a good swimmer. He never did team sports, but several of the families he'd stayed with had pools they let him play in and he'd practiced since little.

"Ah no!" she yelled in dismay as she saw him gaining on her quickly and struggled to swim faster. She acted more like she was five then a teenager but then again she always had more fun like this. It seemed that it didn't matter about anything, all the troubles of home life and everything that followed just dissapered. She cleared the thoughts from her mind as she continued to swim, but slipped a little bit on the bottom. She almost fell over but then regained her compsure, but felt him getting closer and closer, the tension building in her like it was a shark attack or something.
