Kei watched her worriedly, he was glad that she was alive, but she was coughing up water so strongly he didn't know what to do. He held her up with his arms and kept her close, when she was done he pulled her into a hug. It was rather tight at first and he tried to loosen it a bit because he was worried that she might choke even more. He was really worried, it had only been around two days but he couldn't take it if she just died and left him.
"Rin..." he said as he looked at her breaking from the hug but his arms were still wrapped around her. He lowered her slightly again and kissed her, he didn't kiss her so that she would live, but because he wanted to. It was soft, and warm, he broke it quickly because he didn't want to freak her out more then normal.

Rin continued coughing, but it helped a bit when he lifted her up. The water dribbled down her chin and to the ground, rather than back into her throat to make matters worse. She finally stopped and took a deep breath, nearly panting as she tried to regain her breath. But why was she trying so hard? She had nothing. She was always alone and always would b- Her thoughts cut off abruptly as she realized fully what had just happened. The spirit had taken her over, and for some reason they were not at the hotsprings. Rin had no idea what had happened. She had assumed the worst, but now Kei had actually saved her from drowning?
She blinked several times, looking up at him as she realized he was actually hugging her. Her own arms remained limp at her sides. She had no idea what to do. Should she hug him back? Say thank you for saving her? But yet again, her thoughts stopped instantly, this time because she felt his lips against hers. Her eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat for a second, an obvious pink spreading across her cheeks. For a couple seconds after he broke away, she simply sat there in a stunned silence. Why was...? Why was he...? She blinked once and then looked up at him, eyes still wide. "Why are... why are you.. helping me?" she whispered, voice shaking slightly. She didn't understand. She didn't understand why he seemed to care so much. She didn't deserve to have someone care about her so much!

Kei didn't know what had come over him, it was so strange, he didn't like girls, not that he was gay, he didn't like boys either he just didn't like anyone in that way. He sat there unsure what to do, he had felt the heat from her face coming off onto his and he felt bad. After what she said he didn't know how to respond, the moment might have been what had done it but he wasn't sure. Kei was really confused, it was eaiser if things weren't like this but he didn't know how to make her feel better, he didn't know anything.
Truthfully he didn't know anything about her, he knew that her name was Rin and she was around 17 years old, and she was weird! She had just tried to kill herself didn't she? And what was with that sudden change in personaility? All of the obvious things that he had been oblivious to before had just been made clear, it was still just as confusing though. He wanted to tell her that she desereved to have someone care about her but his lips still could only find the words "Sorry".
He sat down next to her but not as close as before, his hair hid his eyes which was good for him, he wasn't really sure if they would look sad, mad or just confused. He wasn't sure what to say, the moment wasn't really all that akward just lost...and dazed.

Rin remained silent for a little longer, blinking once as he apologized and then very slowly looking back towards the ground. She didn't know what to say either. Why had he apologized? He didn't really mean it and the kiss was just an... impulse thing, so he was saying sorry for doing it? Her was he apologizing for helping her, since that's what she'd asked in the first place? She bowed her head slightly, her pointer and middle fingers touching her lips very lightly as her hair fell around her face as well. "You don't.. have to apologize.." she mumbled faintly.
She didn't move for a couple seconds, until she saw what she was wearing. Then she froze again, eyes widening as she pulled her hand away from her face. This suit was... it was revealing, for one thing, but it was pink. Pink! How dare that spirit make her wear pink again! I'm going to find her make her wish she'd passed on! Rin swore as she hugged her knees to her chest, perhaps trying to cover up a little better. It was definitely true that she had no idea what the spirit had done with her body. Ugh.. damn it. She looked back over at Kei, surprise forgotten with the discovery of her outfit. "What happened?" she asked flatly. "After we left the belltower? And just before?"

Kei looked back up to her, she was staring at her swimsuit in the same of look of disgust and anger that she had when she first saw the pink dress. He blinked, if she didn't like it then she should have grabbed a towel or something, she didn't have to change into a swim suit, maybe she thought she had to. A sudden rush of guilt went into Kei as he felt bad like it was his fault for her wearing pink. He stood up and walked to the middle side where a large towel rack was and picked up a black fluffy towel, it was like magic that it was black he thought.
Kei walked back over to her and sat down behind her, he drapped the towel around her shoulders he had his legs apart and he pulled her closer to him. He kept her around him with his arms "We left the bell tower because you wanted to go somewhere else, we came here, we both changed, then a minute ago you tried to drown yourself" he said. That had to be the most talking that he had done in a while, he rested his head ontop of hers and closed her eyes, he had been worried.

Rin blinked, watching as he headed towards a towel rack and picked up a black one, which caused another small smile to tug at the corner of her lips. It still didn't manage to make its way to her face though. So she watched him, staring as he came closer and then glancing at her shoulder when the towel was set over it. "Thank-" Her words cut off as she was pulled to him again, and resumed after she'd gotten over the short surprise. "-you."
She listened quietly as he explained what happened, and then shook her head slowly. "That wasn't me," she said coldly, eyes narrowing upon the ground. "There was a spirit there, and she posessed me." She paused, feeling him set his head upon hers. Her eyes moved up to try and see him, but she didn't move otherwise, despite how odd this felt. It was kind of sad, but she wasn't used to hugs, being near people, or anything like that. She didn't want to offend him by jerking away though, so she sat there, her cheeks flushing pink again.
Then her gaze shifted back to the ground and she sighed quietly. "This necklace," she mumbled, tapping it with her fingers. "Is cursed. If someone tries to remove it, the spirit inside takes over and tries to make me kill myself." She didn't tell many people this, but she thought he had the right to know, after helping her twice now because of it. She held one of her hands in front of her face, staring at the wet bandages that were slipping off. They stung pretty horribly too, her chest throbbing the most.

Kei blinked as he listened to her story, at least it wasn't his fault, he thought it was. He had previous been feeling really awful because he thought that maybe he had a part in her trying to just commit sucide. He didn't say anything for a few minutes, the silence filled up the space without him speaking. Finally he spoke "I'm glad...that it wasn't you....I like your real personality more" he said softly.
Kei wasn't really sure what he was feeling but he didn't mind the feeling as much as he thought he would, Shinju would have described it as 'fuzzy cuteness' or something close to it. Kei smiled at that thought but then he remebered what she said about she would kill herself if she tried to take it off. That must have been what happened before, with all the cuts that he had seen on her on the first day they met.
He looked down at her arm and removed his arms from around her but still kept her close. He didn't move except for his hands that went to her arm and he re-did the bandage better, he should get her to her dorm again, she needed rest.

Rin didn't move, nor speak again, just staring at her hand during the silence, her expression almost blank despite how painful it was. As the spirit had figured out, she'd grown used to not letting what she felt show upon her face. It was developed after being cursed. If the curse went into effect and she hurt herself, she would hide it so the others around the castle wouldn't know. Then she'd simply be confined to her room even longer than usual. Her mother seemed to be very protective, yet she never even visited...
Rin broke from her thoughts again as Kei's words reached her. She blinked, eyes widening a bit again as she tilted her head around to face him. For a couple seconds she was silent, and then she very slowly turned around to face forward again, head bowed to the ground. "...thank you," she said again. It was almost unbelievable. He wasn't lying, was he? She couldn't see a point in lying about that though... He didn't know she was a princess, right? So there was nothing more to gain from knowing her.
She bit her lip, eyes shifting her her hand as he fixed the bandage. It was still wet, but he adjusted it into better positions. Then her other hand moved up, covering both of her eyes as she bit her lip harder, trying not to cry. He was so comforting though, and she wasn't used to it at all. Haruko had been trying to help her in the same way, she realized. Why did all these people seem to care?

((My mom's being annoying >>))
Kei was glad that she was acting better now, he had been worried, and he still was. He felt that she was hiding a lot of things from him, though he didn't speak that much as it was so it wasn't that much better either way. He sighed slightly but then looked up in surprise when he felt her hiding her eyes. He got out of the postion he was in and turned her around so that she could face him.
He removed the hand that was covering her eyes and smiled slightly "Don't hide your tears, I don't mind" he said softly as he picked up her chin a bit with his hand. He smiled kindly and then let her go a bit blinking as he looked around, they had spent a lot of the day together, and it was around 2:00 now, he didn't mind the least bit, but he felt that maybe they should do something safer. "Want to go somewhere else? Maybe your dorm? or off campus?" he suggested.

[It's ok. ^^;]
Rin tensed for a moment as she was turned around, and felt her hand being pulled from her face. She didn't resist though, since she knew it'd make everything hurt even worse if she tried. Also, she had a pretty good idea that he was stronger than her, from the way he'd been carrying her around and even lifted the huge door effortlessly. With no shirt on.... She blinked and looked up at him when he raised her chin, eyes skipping past his bare chest and instead to his face. Well, maybe she did steal a peek... But who wouldn't?
She nodded her head slowly as he spoke and wiped the back of her wrist over her right eye, smearing some of the tears away. "O-ok..." she said quietly, looking back at the ground again. She considered his suggestions for a moment, honestly a bit surprised he still wanted to go somewhere with her. She wiped her eyes once more and then glanced around. "I need to change the bandages," she said faintly, feeling a little guilty. She was hindering their exploring of the campus. She wondered if there was a first aid station around here, to save them a trip back to her room. Surely there was one, right? "I've never been off campus before.. Except to that tower."

((I don't know where to go your going to have to make a choice >.<))
Kei nodded his head, he had explored even less of the campus then she had but he didn't really care, she was still hurt. "Alright let's go to your dorm first, maybe we could take a nap" he said smiling he was pretty tired actually. He hadn't done much of a good sleep in a bit, especially not after last nights rest which couldn't qualify as a rest at all really. He stood up and helped her up carefully avoiding all of her wounds and then he walked away for a minute. He came back with both of their clothing thrown into bags, he had made sure to just ball hers up so he wouldn't see anything.
((sorry for the shortness!))

[Sorry. ^^;; And it's ok!]
Rin stared around a bit longer and then looked back to him, nodding her head. "Ok... to my dorm then..." She been posessed by spirits, twice really, and in a very short time. Her body was pretty worn out but, like her pain, she wasn't letting it show. She didn't like people to worry about her, and it seemed odd that he was. That hadn't know each other for very long at all.. Why did she fell so comfortable around him? She found herself not even minding how confused this all made her.
Her eyes flicked back to him as he helped her up and she stood, careful not to give away her exhaustion by wobbling in place. She waited quietly there, just watching as he headed off and then returned with bags. She hugged the towel a bit tighter around herself, hiding the foul, pink swimsuit a little better. She paused, and then nodded her head to acknowledge him before slowly starting to walk towards the exit. She was trying to prove that she could make it on her own, but her pace was rather slow compared to normal.

(Neko-chan! n.n)
Rikku shrugged and pulled on her swimsuit, not quite sure what to say. After they had both put their swimsuits on, she slowly headed outside to the hotsprings. "Huh boy... this is a little embarrassing...." she said to Mitsuki, "There are alot of people here..."

Making his way out of the men's lockers wearing nothing more than a dark red pair of trunks and a white t-shirt, Seth's eyes gazed across the hotsprings for a moment. It had been so long since he'd had a nice, peaceful dip in the hot, warm water. His body ached from lack of sleep and overexhaustion, he couldn't wait to just get in the water and be able to relax.
Taking his shirt off and tossing it to the side before slowly making his way in, he let out a sigh, almost of relief, as he felt the warm, relaxing water against his skin. Letting the water come to his chest, he brought his back to the side of the springs and rested his head back, closing his eyes.. looking up to the beautifuly-lit moon just above him, he smiled slightly and quickly fell asleep..

Celeste came out of the changeroom clad in a black string bikini. it seemed rather plain for her normally exotic clothes, but this bathingsuit managed to highlight every curve on her pale enticing body. She had newly gained a tatoo of a green and purple gecko climbing around underneath her right breast. Celeste's knee length sheer black hair was plaited into a long, thick black braid left to hang down her back. Her feet were bare, she wore no jewlery or makeup, but her violet eyes stood out nonetheless.
Following the curve of her pale neck, down her arm to her pale elegant hand revealed a smaller, chubbier but no less pale hand clasped in her. This belonged to Celestial's fiver year old daughter. Joy's hair was just as black as her mothers, and her deceased father's It was also braided into a single braid, but her came down from the left side of her face, thrown over her shoulder to where it stopped at waist length. Her large wide eyes were the color of pure unfaulted sapphires. Her bathing suit was a much more modest sky blue one piece with a little frilly white skirt on her hips. It looked adorable on the little girl, making her look the picture of innocence.
Celeste stopped for a moment and scanned the springs, she noticed only one familiar face, and it made her grin in an almost feral way. Bending down to whisper in her daughter's ear, she let go of their connection. Now freed from her mother's hand and an idea planted into the child's head, her own cute oblivious smile spread on her face. She then began to run at the springs, at the young male who lay in them, apparently sleeping.
Little Joy didn't know this man, but she was much accostamed to her mother's mischievous plans. This particular one would be a Joy to carry out. Reaching the bank a couple inches from the man's head, Joy pushed off and launched herself into the air. She folded her knees to her chest and wrapped her short pale arms around them and let herself fall into a perfect cannibal into this man's lap.
Water sprayed, hitting Celeste as she jogged to catch up. The woman placed herself on the rocky edge, a hand on her hip and a merry little smile played against her lips. "Seth, it's been awhile, I hope my daughter has not disturbed you too deeply," her voice was laced in thick laughter, her eyes shining, finally letting her smile reveal itself fully as she met an old friend of hers.
