Chapter 8: Bath
This is the last part to the trip to Kyoto, enjoy~
__________________
We were walking around Kyoto, taking a look around town. Remembering what happened yesterday, I don't think I want to go through alleyways again.
I stretched my arms, "Man, it's already the last day..."
Kaede nodded in response, "I know, right? So many things happened."
Karma-kun was walking in front of us, alone. I approached him, and walked with the red head.
"Hey, Karma-kun," I started. "I want to seriously thank you for yesterday. If you guys didn't come, I don't know what would've happened."
He smiled, "It was nothing. Besides, you were in danger."
I blushed, looking away.
Okay, okay, I admit it. I may have a crush on Karma-kun. It took a while to realize.
Karma-kun has always been there for me. He cheers me up when I'm sad, and helps me when I'm being bullied.
"Does your cheek still hurt?"
"A little. But I'll survive!" I gave my brightest smile.
He looked away, blushing.
Then, Koro-sensei came, "Okay, everyone, let's head back to the inn. It's getting late."
Huh. It was getting pretty dark. Time flies.
We all headed back to the inn, and changed our clothes.
The girls decided to take a bath, since we were so tired.
Me, Kaede, Rio-chan, Okuda-chan, and Kanzaki-chan all changed into towels, and went to the bath.
My hair was tied up into a bun, so it wouldn't get wet.
The bath was pretty big, and the water was hot, but not too hot. Juust right~
We all got in, and said, "Aahh..."
Kaede sat next to me and said, "This is the best~ I'm so tired..."
Rio-chan nodded, "Yeah, me too..."
I agree. We have been travelling for three days straight. I think we deserve a bath. "It's nice to relax, huh?"
Rio-chan looked at us, "I heard what happened yesterday. Are you guys alright? It's really crazy."
Okuda-chan smiled, "Oh, yes. We're okay. They didn't really do anything to us."
"Well, except for Nagisa-san, she got hit in her cheek... " Kanzaki-chan explained.
I laughed, "It's nothing! It doesn't hurt anymore."
The blonde looked at me, "Are you sure? Man, those guys were nuts."
"Yeah. Karma-kun, Sugino-kun, and Okuda-chan came to help, so it was fine in the end. Koro-sensei also showed up."
"Hmm..." The blonde hummed, closing her eyes.
The bath was silent for a moment, before Rio-chan spoke up, "Hey, hey, Nagisa. Is there anyone you like?"
"H-huh!?" I exclaimed.
Why would she suddenly ask that!?
Kaede leaned closer to me, "Oh, there is!? Who is iit!?"
Kanzaki-chan and Okuda-chan leaned closer as well, curious for an answer.
Knowing that they won't back down unless I give them an answer, I sighed.
"T-there is." I stuttered, blushing.
Rio-chan's eyes sparkled, "Who!?"
"He's... someone from our class..." I started in a low voice.
Kaede-chan nodded, "M-hm."
"I... hang with him a lot..."
Rio-chan leaned closer again, "Uh-huh."
"And... I've known him for a while now..."
Kanzaki-chan widened her eyes. "Could it be... Karma-kun?" She whispered.
My face turned even more red, and I looked down.
Rio-chan and Kaede shouted, "Ooohh!!!"
"N-not so loud!"
They whispered, "Ooohh!"
"D-don't tell anyone, o-okay?"
Kaede smiled, "Yup! I'll be rooting for you!"
Rio-chan gave me a thumbs up, "Yeah! You actually have a really big chance!"
The atmosphere was light-hearted. We were having so much fun.
Karma's POV
We were hiding behind a rock, inside the bath. I was with Terasaka, Isogai, and Maehara.
Maehara started, "Do you hear anything?"
Terasaka scoffed, "Nope, we're too far away."
"Tch. Why did I agree to this again?" I said.
Terasaka looked at me, "Shut up! They'll notice us!"
Isogai stuttered, "U-um, guys? This is really wrong..."
Suddenly, we heard Nakamura's voice. "Hey, hey, Nagisa. Is there anyone you like?"
At the mention of Nagisa's name, my eyes widened.
Maehara looked at us, smirking, "Ooh... Now we're getting to the good part!"
We heard another voice, it was Nagisa's this time. "T-there is."
We heard a bunch of "Oooh"s and "Who is it!?"s.
Terasaka peeked out, "I can't hear a thing!!"
I also peeked out, and I saw Nagisa sitting, with the others. I blushed and quickly looked away.
Okay, I may or may not have a crush on Nagisa. And hearing Nakamura's question, I listened closely.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything as well.
Suddenly, Nakamura's and Kayano's voice filled the steaming room. "Ooohh!!!"
Maehara peeked, "What? What did she say?"
Terasaka also peeked, "I don't know! Dammit, if only we were a little closer..."
Maehara pushed him, "Hey, I also wanna look!"
He grabbed Terasaka, but lost his balance, since Terasaka pushed him with even more force.
"Oh cra-" was what Maehara said before he fell into the water, making a loud splashing sound.
That's it, we're dead. Goodbye life, it was nice knowing you.
Nagisa's POV
"W-what was that just now...?" Okuda-chan exclaimed.
Kaede grabbed my arm, "I-it's just us in here, right?"
I also panicked, "M-maybe the others also joined?"
Rio-chan shaked her head, "No... We didn't hear any voices before..."
With that, Rio-chan grabbed a mop, and nodded to us. We nodded back, and walked towards the rock.
When we reached it, we saw... I can't believe it.
Karma-kun, Terasaka-kun, Maehara-kun, and Isogai-kun were all behind that rock!
Maehara-kun was shocked, "U-um... We can explain..."
Terasaka-kun laughed nervously, "W-wait! This is all just a big misunderstanding!!"
Okuda-chan screamed, "Nooooo!!" and covered her body.
Kanzaki-chan turned away, her face red.
Me, Kaede, and Rio-chan all stood in front of them, giving off a deadly aura. "You guys..."
"You perveeerts!!"
Then we all grabbed baskets, and threw it to them. Rio-chan started hitting them with the mop.
They all ran away, saying "We're sorryyy!!!"
Rio-chan scoffed, "Tch, I can't believe those guys..."
Kaede crossed her arms," I think I've had enough bathing time for now."
"Me too." I nodded, still angry.
We all got out of the bath, and changed into our robes.
We eventually decided to go to sleep, and went to our room.
I tried sleeping, but I couldn't, thinking about what happened. Eventually I decided to get some fresh air.
So I went out of the room to go to the balcony. Then I noticed Karma-kun already there.
"Can't sleep either?" I started.
He looked behind, "Oh, N-Nagisa... Yeah, I guess..."
I approached him, "That wasn't cool, you know."
He turned to look at me. "A-ah... Sorry. Terasaka kept bugging me."
I stood next to him. The view was beautiful, the moon was shining, and there were lots of stars.
"You better make up for it." I said, blushing.
He put his hand on his chin.
He smiled, "Then, how about a date?" he playfully said.
"H-huh!?"
"Next Sunday. To that sweet shop." He also blushed, looking away.
I hesitated for a moment, "S-sure. But don't back out! Also, I'm having that really delicious chocolate cake!"
"I won't, don't worry." He smiled warmly."
'Snap' we heard from behind. 'Snap?'
We turned around to see Rio-chan, taking pictures of us while smirking. "Ohoho~ What do we have here~?"
We both went red, and ran to her.
"Rio-chaan!!"
