Part 3 of "In the Rain with the Cat"
POV Akira
"What the hell?!" a girl screamed, right in back of me, and I stayed there frozen when it dawned on me who it was. I slowly turned around and I saw a horrific face coming from the girl who had screamed and...The one I was about to talk of.
"W-what are you doing here?" she asked, her right eye twitching while looking at me. Everything became clear to me, how the situation was at her point of view. 'Oh crap, I’m dead!'
(now we go on with the story)
It seemed as if time had stopped since no one moved for that very instant, not even a sound came up.
That's how bad the situation was gona get.
Amaya looked at him and so did he, as if trying to find out why all this is happening just by looking at each others eyes. So it looked like that kind of moment but no. The mist that he created was long gone and so the illusion on their eyes, everyone else's eyes was gone as well leaving him reveal how he truly looked.
'Please, don't think bad of me. Please, don't start a scene. Please, just stay calm! o~o' Akira thought or more like wished.
"Look, my-". Too late, he was cut off as the bomb had just exploded.
"No! I don't wanna hear it, you pervert!"
"P-pervert?!" Akira tried to say. He never heard anyone call him a pervert and he really wouldn't go to the extent of peeping in the girls bath's like this but in her point of view, he was; now that is. "I'm not a pervert!"
"Oh, sure your not, so why are you in the women's bath?"
"To get my watch" Akira said, showing her the silver watch. Then the lady with the orange hair popped out behind Amaya, "But I thought you said that that watch was from your parents, so what was that? A lie?"
Just then, there was an evil aura behind him. He knew then that he messed up in saying that. He turned around fast and waved his hands in defense.
"Now, now, don't get upset. It really is my-"
"You perverted liar!!!!" All the girls said as they all threw buckets and towels at him like crazy. He tried to block, dodge and cover himself until he tried to run for it. He tried to run out but once trying to get out of the water, Amaya got infront of him.
With Uncle Katsuro
Akira's Unlce was sitting at the entrance of the hotsprings, trying to hear the comotion from the girls bath while drinking tea. It was already night time and since the hotsprings also had an outdoor bath too, the entrance was outside but connected by the roof alone and coloered stones that led the way to the rooms and staff.
"Ah, sweet music to my ears..." Katsuro said, sipping again his tea and looking at hhe sky with a divious smile. 'Ganbare, Akira!'
Back at the girls' bath
"Go take another dip!" Amaya said as she pushed him into the water; and him yelling out of surprise as he hit the water. He noticed quickly that he breathed in some of the water in and started flapping his libs around, one of his hands grabbing hold of his throat.
'Wait, stop throwing things!' Akira thought as he tried to get his head up on the surface but he fell unconcious soon. 'Help me...'
Amaya and the other girls did alot of movement, making the water toss and turn and making little waves, and with throwing things at Akira, it made it uneasy for him. When they notice that he didn't get up there was silence.
Amaya crossed her arms again and closed her eyes, smirking. "Alright, come out, you can't possibly hold your breath that long" Amaya said and then looked down on him. He wasn't moving. Amaya let go of her arms as her eye brows frowned and she slightly smiled, "Come on, Akira, get up..." she said and waited for a moment. Ms. Riko looked at the scene right before her, worried, and then thought of what happened. "Oh no..." Ms. Riko whispered, slowly putting a hand over her mouth.
"Come on, I said! Get up!" Amaya said as she entered the water nad pulled on his arm. Amaya's eyes widen and all the girls holded their breath. His body was limb. Amaya hugged his body and slapped his left cheek gently and a few times, calling out his name and telling him to wake up.
"He-he won't wake up. He's not responding!" one of the girls said. Amaya looked at him and then looked at the wooden floor. She then tried her best to rush up to the edge of the floor and rolled him up on to the floor. She got out of the bath and went near him. She looked determined all of a sudden as she got some strands of hair out of the way, holded his nose, and blew air in his mouth.
"CPR!!!!" All the girls screamed in surprise. Amaya stopped giving him air and placed both hands on his chest and started pushing. 'Come on, wake up' Amaya thought as she began giving him air again. She repeated this procedure several times. 'Wake up Akira, please! Don't die on me!' Amaya thought as she pushed on his chest again. All the other ladies worried and prayed as Amaya continued. Ms. Riko touched her shoulder and Amaya looked at her.
"You should call someone else for this..." Ms. Riko said. Amaya looked away and back at Akira.
"No, not yet." Amya said then got a hold of his nose and started to blow air in his mouth.
"Sweetie, that's enough, their's nothing else you could do" Ms. Riko said. Amaya just conitnued the procedure. 'Im not giving up on him! So he shouldn't give up either!' Amaya thought as she blew air in his mouth again. Just then, she felt him move and a little bit of water came into her mouth. Their mouth's seperated as they spewed out water. Everyone else gave a sign of relief.
Amaya looked down at Akira as he opened his eyes slowly.
Akira's POV
My eyes feel heavy...and the lights up above me...they' re all foggy.
What the heck happened to me?....Ah, Amaya....... I suddenly opened my eyes wide as I finally came to my senses. Did-did she just save me?...I know the only way to save me from that was...CPR - BUT! It's nothing that special!...Why the heck am I reacting this way?!
Amaya looked down at me, closer, and tears were starting to come out. "Thank God your safe!" Amaya said, smiling while crying and...hugging me tightly. My cheeks were tinted red as I looked at her. She was close and she just saved me...'what should I do?' That's all I can ask myself now...
Normal POV
Akira and Amaya stayed like that for a little bit, letting everyone drink in the warm moment. Akira closed his eyes, already knowing what action to take. It was one that started up the flames.
He pushed Amaya away as he lifted himself slowly off the floor and looked at Amaya seriously (while still having that red tint on his cheeks).
"Leave me alone..." Akira said, tieing his towel firmly to his waist and leaving the girls' bath.
