a trip to a hot spring?

* After Amaya had washed her new clothes she found that were addresed to her in the lily pond by her forest home. she when to the rim of the forest, near the city were Jun and lived and sat up in a tree while Yuu had to get up some how to be near her.*

After paying a visit to Jun, Ken went to his high school. He remembered that he forgot some things and he went to pick them up. As he was going to school, in the floor he found a hilt, but there was no blade. "Might become handy sometime" he said. When he got to the building, he saw some of his classmates in the library. He said "Hi" to them and he kept going. He picked up the books that he forgot and he went to his house. While he was going, he saw the forest where Amaya is living and he thought: "I think there's no problem to visit her"
When he entered, he made some scratches because of the branches and thorns that were in the trees. He managed to get where Amaya was, he smiled when he saw her and he said: Hi, Amaya.

* Amaya had smiled when she saw Ken enter the forest, she and Yuu had then jumped down to greet Ken " Hello Ken, i guess I should make a path around her so that you city people don't get hurt getting in the forest. " she said kindly just before Yuu sat down and yawned while making a sound that tolled people that he was kinda tired or board.*

Ken smiled as he said: " Don't worry, these are minor injuries. Compared to when I broke my leg here this is nothing".Ken saw the little people who pased outside the forest. As he was looking at Amaya, he saw Yuu, but he was kinda bored, it seemed that he didnt do a thing today. Ken thought of something and said: "Aww Yuu, youre bored. Hey! I have an idea. Why dont you two come with me to the city and, i dont know, we have an icecream? I know that you dont like the city so much Amaya, but you should do things like that. And if someone tries to do something to us, we'll attack him. So... What do you say?" While Ken was saying that he blushed a little since what he was doing was asking out the girl that he likes.

* Amaya and Yuu had no clue what ice cream was as at the same time they tilted there heads to the left side " what's ice cream? " she asked while looking vary clueless but she did however thought of food when speaking*

Ken was a little surprised." Well ... Uh .. Hehe. Its something you eat, and its .. Very cold .. Thats why its called ice cream". Ken didnt know what he was talking about, the question that she made was like another question that his teacher asked him. He started to look around the forest, he suddenly saw an orange. He had an idea, he grabbed the orange and he said:" Okay, its very cold and its in many flaVours like this- showing the orange- and so many others. Its very delicious... So, are you coming with me?"

" ohh, okay " she said while sounding surprised while Yuu's ears lifted and he stood up ready to go.*

Okay then we're ready. Amaya was taking the lead to go through the forest. As they went out, they walked as Ken was showing her some of the buildings of Tokyo. That's where I and Jun study, The Tokyo High School- he said as they passed Ken's school. They continued walking and they finally reach the center of the city where there was a lot places to eat. As Ken was looking for a place where someone sell Ice creams, he saw a Hot spring. That didnt draw his attention and they suddenly reached a place where people sell ice creams. As Ken was searching for money he said: Okay, so what flavour would you like?- he said happy and smiling.

*Amaya and Yuu walked behind ken as he led them threw the city. when they got to the middle of Tokyo they gazed around them at all the food, and people, but sadly Amaya could not handle this much people in one area so her guard was always up. " i don't know surprise me " she said with a smile to ken as she could only pinpoint were he was going at the moment and Yuu witch was always be her side.*

Ken found some money that his mother gave him and he bought 2 icecreams: one of Orange for him and one of Chocolate for her. Don't eat it too fast- Ken said to her- You might get a headache or how some people say, brain-freeze. They sat in a bank near the Ice Cream shop and they ate all of the ice cream. They took their time and talked about things. A half-hour passed and Ken said: Hey, we should keep moving. As they were walking again Ken saw the Hot Spring again, but this time a man appeared in front of them and said: Hey! Are you looking for fun, you should go to our hot spring right here. The first time is free and then you can decide if you come back!! It can be a mixed one or separated by genders. What do you decide? Ken was looking weird at the guy, like he didnt know what was happening.

* Amaya was confused " hot... spring? " she asked while looking at the man in wonder while Yuu stood in font to make sure he staid back with a low growl sound to make the message was clear.

The strange man twitched a bit before responding because he was scared of the wolf, " you don't know what a hot spring is?! " he said in shock like he was going to have a heart attack... " no " Amaya said wondering if thins man will answer her or not. " oh my, dear sweat girl, it's a place to relax and take a brake from the world in a nice Hot bath. In fact hear are 2 free VIP tickets in first class of our hot spring, if you love it bring your friends~! " the man cheered on, a bit too happy by the sounds of it while he handed out two first class VIP tickets to them. Amaya didn't look to happy because he left the part out of her wold, as the man looked like stone because she was not answering him " a-an-and your pet can come in to~! free of charge" the sales man shuddered on waiting for them to accept the tickets even thought it was a bit fishy*

Ken didnt trust that man, it would seemed that he was a misteryous person. But he saw the 2 VIP tickets and he thought: This maybe be not a bad idea. But what about Amaya? Ken was unsure what to do since Amaya probably wanted to keep her body
private from him but she might feel too nervous going into a place like
that alone. He figured that he had to ask Amaya to answer the question. So what do you think? Should we take it or not?- Ken said that nicely, worried.

* Amaya turned to Ken and smiled " when are we going to get another chance like this? Of cores we are going~ " she said then took the tickets in hand " sins you've never been to a hot spring before the girls that work there will assist you in what ever you need free of charge " the odd sales man said with a bow of thanks.

Amaya had gotten up and turned to look at Ken so make sure he was coming*

Ken still didnt know if he wanted to go, but if Amaya wanted it would be nice for them. They entered the Hot Spring and showed the tickets to the receptionist and they managed to enter. While the girls that worked there prepared them, Ken was wondering that what would Amaya pick: The mixed one or the separated one. After they prepared them, he saw Amaya and ask what he didnt wanted to ask at all cost: So... uh.. are you... picking the mixed.. room or the separated one?
Ken's face turned into red completely as he was asking that.

* Amaya was on the floor petting Yuu, she then looked at Ken to see his face red " what's the difference?.. and why is your face red like a cherry? are you sick or something? " she asked while worrying as she stood up and got closer to his face, then placed her forehead on his to check his temperature " you don't seem to be sick " she added while looking into his eyes just as he could look into her worriedly sad and lost but mysterious eyes.*

"Well, in the mixed one there's boys and girls together and in the separated, one room it's for only guys and the other one only for girls." As Amaya finished checking Ken he said:" No, it's nothing. I'm just a little embarased since its my first time being in places like this".

* Amaya backed up away from Ken and then sighed " I still don't get it, i don't care you chose " she said then when back down to Yuu and started to play with him*

Ken sighed because that conversation could go forever. So he chosed: Alright, we'll take the mixed one. As Ken was entering the mixed Hot Spring he felt worried about Amaya showing her body, but he thought it would be the best for her to not leave her alone in a place full of unknown people. He got into the hot water and when he relaxed himself he said: Uhhh, this is relaxing

* Amaya cam running out with a white towel around her naked body then stops at the edge, she gasp at the hot water's steam. She tried to catch the hot air but ended up falling in. Amaya then popped up in the middle of the spring with a gasp then smiled while closing her eyes and started to laugh.*

Ken watched as Amaya falled into the hot water. Watch out!- he said trying to catch her but with no succeed. He saw her laughing coming out of the water. Ken smiled and laughed too. They were having a really good time. Amaya went to where Ken was and they relaxed for a while. Seeing a lot of people in that place was surprising for Amaya, even for Ken, but it was probably because they had never been in a place like that. Ken started to think of how Amaya changed since they met and he was proud of what she was doing. So.. How do you feel now? Knowing that now you have people who care about you?- he asked.

* Amaya looked away form ken for a while and looked into the hot water and thought for a moment as people started to leave the hot spring " I'm not sure... about feelings... are.. but I know if your happy or sad or angry....." she added on while trying to think hard of that feeling was again.*

Ken didnt know how to explain it to her. It was sure that she was remembering something but she couldnt know what it was. But the less thing he wanted to do was get her sad. He said: No, No, No! Please dont be sad. I'm sorry if that question made you feel uncomfortable!-he said worried. When he relaxed he sat near the hot spring and explained: Feelings explain your current state know, emotions that you feel in your current state. They are part of what defines you on how you act and respond to situations. For example, you used to be afraid of the city at the beggining when I met you, now you're feeling safe right now. That's the feeling you're feeling now! The feeling of knowing that people care about you!

* After Ken had finished talking, Amaya when over top of him and went close to his face " I'm not afraid of the city. I just don't like it vary much.... and safety is hard to find no mater were you are .." She said right away just as if her eyes pupils looked like slits and thoughts of being in the wild for so long had tolled her this many times in her mind.*

Ken nodded with the head as he was looking to the water. He didnt know why, but the answer that Amaya gave him made him deppresed somehow. He was looking to the water, but the only words he said was: I see.... Ken noticed that more people were leaving the place and so he said: We should get going. It's getting late.-saying serious. When they finally put their clothes, they were ready to get out. Suddenly, they heard a yell inside the Hot spring. They went into again and found out that the person who gave them the tickets was attacking some people. What are you trying to do?!. The man turned to see Ken and Amaya standing. Ken saw that the person was totally out of his mind and crazy. The man opened his eyes wide, he was carrying a knife: ThIs.. PeOple MuST... DiE!!!- he said running towards Ken and Amaya to attack them. Ken was ready to counterattack but he realized he didnt carry his sword: Damm! I didnt bring my swo- argh!- he said dodging the attack but still receiving part of the knife in his shoulder.

* Amaya watched at Ken got hit with the blade, She had then lost it. " stay back Ken" She snarled with anger; Amaya had taken Ken's place in battling this crazed guy, letting him strike first she then grabbed his wrist that held the knife and gripped his wrist so hard that he dropped the knife. Amaya's pupils had turned into slits again and he made Illusion oh her baking the mans arm and lag with one kick at him. The man fell to the ground because of the Illusion of the pain was to much for him. She then turned to look at Ken to see if he was alright.*
