You're Beautiful: Chapter 8
The Salt Water Revelation & it's Evening Breeze
“Big smiles....” Karin muttered sarcastically.
She stormed away from the set towards the cabin, being the first to flee. Not only did she feel violated, she also felt like she HAD violated.
Flushing furiously she forced open her bag, and pulled out her clothes, looking forwards to a nice relaxing bath, which as she looked up...seemed to be missing. She stared around for a bathing room, as the rest of the boys were settling in.
Too tired to actually look for it, she plucked up her courage and approached Yuto. He seemed to be taking out his own clothes, so she assumed he was going to shower, hence he hopefully knew where this secret hidden bath was located.
“Ano..senpai...”
Yuto looked up, so did Chinen and Yamada who were opposite to him .
“Hey Ken...nande?” Yuto asked, his voice a little warmer than before or maybe he was just too tired to dislike her at the moment.
“It’s just...where is the bath?”
“There’s a public bath a little from the cabin...that’s where we are headed...wanna come?” Yuto smiled, and Yamada nodded.
Karin blinked.... “Pu...Public....as in...sento?”
“Un...Nande?”
She stared at him. There was no way she was getting into the same bath! She had had enough touching for one day. She kept blinking for few seconds, doing some quick thinking than said.
...”Ah...I forgot something at the beach...please excuse me...”
Yuto stared after her as she literally flew out of the cabin with immense speed.
“What’s up with him? He looked scared of going for a bath...”
“I’m glad he’s not coming, YUTO! Why did you invite him?” Yamada asked pouting.
“Ryo, com on I feel bad. I mean, he looks so awkward, and He DID carry our luggage here..”
“...I’m sorry Yuto, but that was funny. Did you see him carrying the bags...doesn’t look very strong does he?...” Chinen chuckled and Yamada laughed as Daiki came over “Watcha fellas talking about?”
“Inoue kun...” said a voice mocking Reiko-sans tone, which made them all jump.
“OOi...Keito...how long have you been on that couch?...”
Keito looked up from behind the couch. “Since we got back..nande?”
They stared at him wide eyed.
Yamada smiled. “Stop being creepy....”
Keito smiled back. “Urusai...”
“NE where’s Takaki?” Yabu asked Inoo who shrugged.
“I think he went out for a walk...urm lets ask Hikaru...OOI HIKA KUN!”
“Excuse me...? Hikaru approached smiling cheekily and head locked Inoo.
“Ne ne Hikaru, where’s Takaki?”
“Went out for a nice romantic walk with himself....” Hikaru smiled as Inoo struggled to come free.
**************************
Karin pushed through the sand to find a nice quiet corner behind a couple of huge palm trees. She rested herself down on the surface and started undressing.
“Looks like I’ll have to bathe in the sea....yay...” she mumbled depressed. The trees were good enough to cover her, there were quite a number of them, and a huge curvy rock which went deep into the water was a good place to hide, unless something lived in that rock. She stared at the two buckets of water she had carried with her out here.
She smiled at her success of sneaking water from the showers of the bath. Although she had accidently seen some men undressing, she managed to run out from there before they had undressed ‘further’.
Silently she pulled off her fake muscular arms, and started washing herself. After feeling content with her hygiene (she had decided to ignore her sand coated feet) , she wrapped her towel around herself.
She picked up her fake muscular arm wraps ( thick skin colored things that made her look a bit buffer and bigger, otherwise her small form was no match to her brothers) and looked around for the bundle of white bands Nina-san had given her to hide her....womanly features ...one would put it. She spotted it on the sand; it had fallen off from the tree where she had hung it along with other necessities.
“Oh no...There’s sand in my bra...” she muttered sadly and started shaking. She continued struggling in the battle many women did, hoping up and down restlessly as she tried her best too hook the bra, when all of a sudden she heard voices in the distance.
“Oh my god...” freaking out she dropped everything and pulled her towel close to herself. They were men. MEN! It sounded like more than one and they were nearby. Horrified, and trying not to think what would happen if they found her here in nothing but a towel she simply tied it tightly, and silently waded out behind the big rock into the sea. It was extremely cold now in the evening, so cold that she had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. Silently she stayed there....they were closer to her now. She could hear them ....both of them.
“But we had it all worked out Toshimura! Everything was going as planned....how do you expect me to pay the debts now HUH??”
“Hush Tomo san, you want the world to hear you?...”
The first man’s voice sounded worried and anxious. The second was calmer, but shaken. One thing was for sure, they both sounded familiar and furious. Karin peered out from the side of the rock as silently and stealthily as she could. She stared and recognized both the familiar voices. One of them, this Toshimura guy was the one with the cabin keys. And the other was Tomo, the photographer. They were both holding a bottle of beer, and were each sporting worried glances.
“Tomo....we had them......when ....where did this Ken come from?”
Karin leaned further to get a better view at the mention of her brother’s name. They were standing well off from the place where Karin’s stuff lay but if they dared walk straight, they would bump into the most peculiar form of clothing sprawled on the sand.
Tomo glanced at Toshimura and scowled.
“Yes, that’s the problem Toshimura...I thought we had him taken care off...that crash in the tunnel should have impaired him good...but ...,"
“Are you sure you crashed the right person? He looks completely fit to me!!!” Toshimura hissed now anxiously massaging his balding head.
Karin gasped loudly. Realising what she had done, she quickly flattened herself against the rock as Tomo eyed the rock in the distance suspiciously.
“Since when did the boys accept a new member in like this?” Toshimura cried unhappily but Toma shushed him, still eyeing the rocky area.
“I don’t know....but...let’s not talk here...”
“Someone’s coming! ....”
Karin held her breath as she heard the two men rushing away, and thankfully back in the direction they had come from. Silently she peered out from the other side to see who was approaching and felt her heart drop into the pit of her stomach.
Takaki Yuya was evidently enjoying a casual walk in the evening breeze. But his evening breeze was casually blowing him straight towards her hiding place.
