Relaxing Afternoon After a Late Night of Studying

[Maki]

Maki sat in the hotsprings, laying back against the rocks, her head laying back and eyes closed. She let out a quiet sigh, content with how relaxing these hotsprings were. No distractions or people to bother or converse with. Just herself and the steaming water.

All the previous night, Maki had been studying up on trying to fix a certain potion that never quite worked right. She had checked from a large number of books before finally figuring it out and going to sleep at the crack of dawn, missing her morning classes.

She remained silent after another quiet sigh and just thought about the things she wanted to look up later and other things she would have to do and catch up on.

[Zephel]

POOF!!!!

Coughing could be heard as 6 people suddenly appeared out of a heavy mist of smoke; Syani, Kimiko, Eyuki, Zephel, Hikaru and even the teacher from Dream Recalling class, Mr. Reinhardt.

"Hey wait...we're not in a toilet!! YAY~!!!" as Syani cheered...all of them realized they're in some steamy place...

"What is this place?" Hikaru looked around. He's been transported twice by this insane girl.[/color]

"I think..." the teacher started, "We're inside a HOT SPRING!!!" Everyone could tell he sounded excited, even the steam sort of covered them all from seeing each other clearly...

"Please, do NOT tell me this is a female's--" Zeph was stopped midway as his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a blonde nearby...

"Somebody SHOOT. ME. NOW!" out of shock, and probably embarassment, Zeph did the only thing he always do when he's off balance. Forming a fist, he strongly hits Hikaru on the head...as the boy's flaming red hair can be seen through the steam...

"OWW!! GAAAH!!!!!!" and off he tumbled down the hot spring, splashing the water towards everyone present there...even Maki.

[Kimiko]

"Hikaru-nii-san!"

"Hika-chan! Are you okay?!" Kimiko called as she kneeled down next to the waterside, reaching out to help Hikaru out.

[Zephel]

Hikaru felt glad to hear TWO girls called his name as he fell, and he was more than happy to accept the help Kimiko offered him. And just when he took hold of Kimiko, his jinx self takes over...

"Wait, oh...GAAAH!!" and he pathetically slipped off....inside the water....while holding Kimiko...

[Kimiko]

"Kyaaa!" Kimiko let out a yelp as she was then pulled into the hotsprings with Hikaru, falling right on top of him. "Hi.... Hika-chan!" She exclaimed as she quickly moved off of him and sat back against the rocky wall, blushing mad red.

'Hika-chan's face.... touched my chest...' She thought to herself, fully embarrassed about the accident.

[Maki]

'So much for alone...' Maki thought as she heard voices. She opened her eyes and looked towards the ones who appeared, not bothering to cover herself as she really didn't care.

Maki watched as the two fell into the water. 'ech... What a group of idiots.' She thought, her thoughts seeming slightly annoyed although her face remained perfectly and completely blank as she watched them all.

[Zephel]

Hikaru's face was flushing deep red as Kimiko got off of him, his face redder than his hair probably. In fact, he's too shocked that he didn't noticed he was still underwater, gurgling as bubbles escaped his mouth...

"Kimiko-chan, you okay??" obviously didn't see what happened between Kimiko and Hikaru, Syani blinked at their red complexion, "What's wrong??"

She tried to lean over and pull out Hikaru, until she saw Maki nearby and waved at her instead, "OH!! Maki!! Hi!!" and completely forgot the drowning redhead.

Zeph however, was trying to find a way to escape this forbidden place, until he felt his shirt being pulled by someone.

"Now, Zephel, listen to me. You kept your heart TOO cold that you didn't even let anybody inside it... Now, as your teacher, I'm going to teach you how to hit a girl," winking at the silver-haired, Mr. Reinhardt nodded at Zeph before slowly stepping inside the water, smiling at Maki as he adjusted his specs...

"Wha? Wh-- Ho-- AGH!"

[Kimiko]

"Hi! Hi! Hi! Hika-chan!" Kimiko stammered again, wanting to reach down and pull him to the surface, but feeling incredibly embarrassed as she kept her hands up, covering her chest slightly.

"Hikaru-nii-san! Get up or you'll drown!" Eyuki said as she stepped into the water next to Kimiko, reaching down to grab Hikaru's arm and pull him up, not having seen exactly what happened between the two.

[Maki]

Maki looked blankly at Syani. "I'm guessing this was a transportation potion gone wrong." She said simply, not seeming surprised at all by everything going on. She then looked over to the boy approaching her. "What do you want?" She asked in her usual emotionless tone, her expression completely blank.

'A serious group of idiots...' She thought to herself plainly.

[Zephel]

Syani quickly placed a hand behind her head, sweatdropping, "Eheheh.... Y-yeah. Glad to know you could tell by just a single look."

Sitting up, Hikaru's eyes are still wide and he's still in shock...no matter how much water he must've swallowed by now, 'I....just....touched a girl's.........chest. ...With my FACE.....'

Deciding to just ignore the mushy teacher, Zeph approached Eyuki instead, seeing her with Kimiko yelling Hikaru's name like he's dead or something. So, he sighed while getting inside the water, raise one mighty fist of his and...

BONK!!!!

"OWW!! Nii-san, what'd you do THAT for?!" Hikaru, now back to his senses, rubs the growing bump on his head...[/color]

Dusting his hands, Zephel nodded after completing his job...until he accidentally heard somebody's thoughts again, Maki's apparantly. So, he tried to look past the steam, and finally sees the girl near Mr. Reinhardt...

Mr. Reinhardt, now approaching Maki, bows at her, "What do I want, you ask? Well, we're in a hotspring and you appeared to have nothing on you currently. Can you guess?" And he gave her a rather boyish wink as he heard her thoughts, "Ah, they ARE idiots, please don't worry about them. I--"

DUSSHH!!!

Sighing depressingly by having to deal with so many halfwits today, Zeph successfully had thrown a rock, yes a rock, maybe a boulder, towards a teacher. Which made the mushy man fall down like a tree...

"Timber."

SPLASH!!!!!

[Kimiko]

Kimiko looked up at Zephel as he hit Hikaru again. "Hi...Hika-chan! Are you okay?" She asked again after he was hit.

[Maki]

After the teacher had gotten hit on the head and was falling, Maki noticed he was falling towards her. She moved out her hands to stop him from falling on her, using all her weak human strength to push him to the side. 'A large group of idiots.' She thought, lowering her head slightly, still a blank expression on her face.

[Zephel]

Seeing the sight of Kimiko, his face went red all over again as he tried to stutter, "K-Kimi....Kimiko-chan... I... I'm really TRULY sorry I.... well... I touched you-"

DUSSHHH!!!

Another strike from Zeph as he heard his brother saying that. He didn't know why he did this a lot, maybe he's just annoyed watching men do things to women...

"Ah! Maki, you okay?!" jumping into the water, which resulted more splashes towards everyone there, Syani tried to ran towards Maki, stepping on Hikaru on her way there, which made the poor boy gained 3 bumps on the head now...

[Kimiko]

"Hi...H hika-chan! Ar...Are you okay?" Kimiko asked again after he was hit again, a mix of embarassed blush and worry on her face.

"Kimiko-chan.... You really care for Hikaru-nii-san, don't you?" Eyuki asked her, smiling sweetly at the girl next to her.

"E...Eh?! Ah.... I.... I like all my friends!" Kimiko said awkwardly, trying to smile back at Eyuki, still feeling awkward about what just happened with Hikaru a moment ago and everyone questioning how much she liked him.

[Zephel]

With a pair of swirly eyes, Hikaru just laughed maniacally, probably had lost his mind after getting 3 hits, and one by foot, on a row...

"Maki, Maki!! You okay?!" Hopping her way towards her newest friend, Syani didn't realized she's stepping on the teacher when she asked Maki that, "Gosh, did he hurt you?!"

"Brrrbb.... gfftthh....." waving his arms underwater, the poor teacher can't even breath down there....
