Relaxation

Rebecca had sucluded herself in the bath house for the women. Gaxing at herself upon the mirrow infront of her, observing her reflection, Her eyes shined brightly as she held a sharp knife in her hands, looking at her hair in paticular, long and wavy. a feeling had come over her, so denied it at first then had surcimbed to it. Rebecca rose the knife to around her shoulders and sliced throught the long locks, hearing the hair being sniped away and the strands falling freely to the ground. Lucky for her, her mom was a hairdresser so she had pointers on how to cut hair, and believe it or not it turned out really nice.
whoa....so much...lighter, she thought feeling all the weight from her hair being taken off. Rebecca then exited the building, makign her way to the springs.

The area was warm, the sight was luxurious, one you would see in them there magazines that focused on scenery.
Mist seemed to surround the area, well, more like steam that arose from the springs, warm and moist steam. Rebecca had walked out to the many pools of steaming water.

she was following a small dirt pass that lead a ways from the bath house. The pools of water were sepatrated with trees in between them, giving a more luxiurious feel to the area, and to ensure privacy to the people in the pools for what ever reasons they had.
It was dark outside, warm however as the conditions were making it a atmost perfect night. Well at least in Rebecca's eyes, as she enjoyed the peacefull aura around her. a soft vivid blue light was shined down from the moon, amungth all the vegiation, bamboo surrounded some areas ehich gave a more traitional japanese style, crickets could be heard chirping in the distence, as if to sing to the beauty of the area.

Rebecca had a towel around her, it was given to all the people in the hotspring to wear from the bath house further up the path. The towels themselves had a velco along the edges to prevent any slipping so privacy of certain areas were hiden saftly. Her hair was tied up, being held by a clip so that it would not become soaked with water even though it was cut, last time she remembered she had shoulderlength hair was the time in her earlier days in which she was weaker and in training. over the years her hair was grown long, only to be cut this day when she had reunited with her old commander,

Rebecca had found herself a more secluded area, in the back of the area behind some cactail weeds, it was a smaller area but it was nice. the steam rose up, Rebecca had began to relax. She waited for Kisuke to arrive, how long was he taking in the change room exactly?

Kisuke stood there silently, with his hand pressed against the Mirror. He ran a hand over the scars that framed his Semi-Muscular body. Each scar, told a story, the story of the Souls, who had fallen by his Blade, Kazarashi. He touched the scar, on his chest, a long one, extending from behind his shoulders. Then there was the one that run down his Right Shoulder, to just a few inches above the elbows. There was another one, that lay diagonally across his chest, extending from the right side of his chest, to the left. Those were just the prominent scars. There were a few others, on his back, and a few on his thighs. His strong, yet not over-muscular body, was like a collection of books, each scar telling the story, of the one who left it there. It brought back some memories. But there wasn't any regret. Just some bitterness that was left behind.

Whats the point of thinking about this again ? he thought to himself, like he had countless other times. But every time he would see them, he would go back into the same state. It was like he wanted to let go of the past, but it was clinging on to him, slowly piercing his body... his heart. No matter how much he would try to push it away, it always came back. It was kind of Ironic that someone like him, he believed to live for now, would have something like that. But it wasn't important now. What was important now, was that he had come here with Rebecca, and that was it.

So without wasting anymore time, he began to slip of his Shinigami robes. He was quick about it, and almost tripped, when his sock didn't come off, and he tugged on it. He smiled at himself as he balanced against the moist walls of the Hot Spring. He quickly took off the lower part of his robes, slipping on the flimsy excuse of a towel that was supposed to cover his... Privates. Luckily enough, the Towel was long enough to cover him, from his Waits, down to the point where his Thighs ended, but it was still... to small to be called an actual towel.

But anyways... he ignored the size of the Towel, and stepped out of the room, making sure he kept his robes in one the lockers and not just lying around. Captains Robes are something people would die to get their hands on. But anyways, he slowly walked to the Springs. The Atmosphere was best described as Romantic, cause that was how it was supposed to be. Mostly couples came here to do, ahem... Stuff. There was a nice fragrance that Kisuke immediately took a liking too. He liked it because it wasn't to heavy or to strong. It was nice. Once he reached the area for the Baths, he saw that it was segmented into smaller Springs, divided by a line of thick trees, for obvious reasons.

Finding Becca in this maze is going to be a pain he thought, and sighed. He decided that instead of looking around the springs for hours, he would simply track the Spiritual Pressure. It was no Biggie. It didn't take more than a second to locate a Spiritual Force as huge as that, and so, he started walking her Direction. In another few seconds, he saw her, or her Figure through the steam atleast. He slowely walked towards her, and entered the bath. He was used to the Hot Springs, so he was felt pretty comfortable, despite the temperature. He looked over at Becca, and said, " It was a smart thing that we came here, its really comforta- eh ? " he said, as he noticed that her hair was not as long and wavy as it once was. It was short. It looked god, but he was kinda surprised. " How long was i gone ? " he asked, in an Inquisitive and Sarcastic tone

((sorry for the wait...and the length x.x))

Rebecca couldnt help but giggle slightly as looked at her new hair. She just felt like cutting it off today for no paticular reason. She scratched the back of her head. tousling her hair slightly, messing it a bit. It seemed more straiter now. she smiled a almost cat like smile. She expected a more 'what the fuck' reaction to her new hairstyle

how long were you gone? she repeated
long enough for me to get insalely bored...eh? whats with that face," she said, acting like her hair had been the same as it was before she cut it.
is there something on my face? she said, holding her cheek as if she was looking for something that was on her face. She seemed to feel for something on her face. Compltetely acting like she never cut her hair.

The water felt nice and warm against her skin, soaking through the faberic of hte towel she wore around herslef. Her legs slightly kicked around in the water. She was sitting on a rock almost like it was a chair, She then lowered her hands thinking nothing was on her face, then kicked her legs about through the water, sending drops of warm water splashing about when a foot would brake past the surface of the water

A thumping noise could be heard. Not to loud, in fact it was very distant. The noise became louder and louder until Maxwell jumped out of the trees with only a dark red towel on."CANNON BALL!!!" Just before Maxwell hit the water, he slung the towel to the edge of the spring. After all there was no point in having a drenched towel.

The cannon ball seemed to resemble a small explosion in the water that sent water flying. After the water settled all that was seen was Maxwell with drenched hair, his torso above water, and a smile on his face. "Hey guys."

Rebecca removed her hands from her face, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she looked at Kisuke from across the hotsprings. The steam blurring her vision slightly as she looked.

"CANNONBALL!!"

Rebecca let the smile fall from her lips as she drifted her gaze pwards to See a man come flying down out of the middle of nowhere from the trees, Rebecca had also caught a glimps of The mans....unmentionables, as he flung his towel to the side of the springs before he hit the water. Rebecca's eyes widened at first, then she turned slightly crimson in the cheeks "oh ma gawd..." she thought as she suddenly shut her eyes. Rebecca let out a little yelp, the water spraying all over her, making her skin become wet and glistening with the water. The cannon ball had resembled a small explosion.
Rebecca's towel was all soaking wet now, and the force of the waves almost made it come undone, but luckily she caught the edges of the towel and held it tight against her chest before it could have fallen freely.

h-hi..... she replyed looking at the newcomer. Rebecca made a face, she was now in a hotsprings with two guys, one not wearing a towel at least and she was in nothing more then a towel. Oh ya..she felt soo comfortable at the moment.

His face had an expression of dissapointment, when he saw that Rebecca had cut her hair, and her pointless attempt to seem unaware of it, didn't help. He was about to make a snappy comeback, when he heard a kind of thumping sound. Before he could react to it, he saw a nude man in mid air, jumping into the water, shouting the words "CANNONBALL". A vein appeared on the edge of his forehead, as he clinched his hand, making an angry/WTF face.

Slowly walking over to the naked man, Kisuke bonked him over the head in a comical way, making sure to keep his face underwater. He let go and said, " What the Hell do you think you're doing ? Ever heard of PRIVACY ? ", and saying that he stood before him in a commanding pose, his Fists on his Hips, straight up, his Body soaked in the Water that the man had drenched him with, giving his a look of displeasure and inquisition.

[It Sucks. Deal with it]

Darrell sighed and sat up, turning around to look across the small rock pathway to the other pool.
"If you wanted privacy, you should have picked one of the enclosed pools"

Pointing a little further away, you could just make out a fenced off section with several doors.
"They even lock from the inside... and the fence is doubled, so any cracks and knots will only go halfway through. However..."

The sudden flying water dipper clocked Max on the side of the head. "This IS a place for relaxation... not a playground." Darrell stated, vein throbbing at his temple in annoyance, before sinking back to his nearly submerged position.

Maxwell was thrashing as a hand had forced his head underwater. He was only having innocent fun after all. As his head shot up out of the water, he took a deep and loud breath. Standing up to where the water met only his lower mid abdomen, he shook his head to thrash his hair over the place and send water flying. Maxwell soon looked at the two men in the spring with an innocent smile upon his face. "Sorry guy, but this is how I like to relax. Acting goofy is a GREAT way to blow off some steam."

Maxwell shrugged his shoulders and laid down in the water to float face up. Lucky for others that due to the steam, his "member" could not be seen. He drifted towards the woman and as he was within sight he gave another smile. This smile however was obviously not as innocent an accompanied with a wink.

Rebecca saw the man make his way towards her, she only got a slightly confused look on her face as he smiled and winked at her. Her face going red, it had a habit of doing that. She turned red in the face easily.

Now there were three guys, one which was naked and winked at her. She tryed to smile back kindly but it was a bit obvious she was shy and nervous at the same time. Rebecca only clutched onto the ends of her towel so that it wouldnt come undone and show any of her 'girls' to the boys. things would only get aquward then. Rebecca blinked a few times, clutching the towel tighter

"y-yes acting silly does blow off some steam." she agreed with the man, smiling.
"however you should know when your going to far heh heh ^^'' she said, sounding slightly nervous as she took one of her hands off from her chest, where she hel her towel and scratched the back of her head lightly, tousling her newly cut, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair.
