.:Chapter 2:.
Nami

Excited, Nami unpacked her bags. Well, the one with the swimsuit in it at least.

Oh my God! I FINALLY get to see a hot spring! I can't wait!

She whipped out her tow suits. One was white, very plain, but showed a lot. Trying on the top, she saw that her breasts were almost completely exposed.

Definitely not, she thought, I don't want to leave a bad impression.

So instead, she pulled out her other string bikini. This one was a little more modest and had a bluish purple flower print all over it. The flowers looked like something out of a faerie tale, they seemed to glow a blue sheen.

This one, for sure! It's so cute! Plus, it's my favorite anyway.

First, she knotted the strings on both her hips and tied bows over them. As she was tying the knot and finishing the bow on the strap around her back, you never can be too careful...there was a knock at the door.

Surprised, she wrapped a matching sheer blue skirt around her waist and said, "Come in!"

Quickly tying just a bow with the halter neck strings, she grabbed a blue ponytail holder for her hair. Just as she was putting it up in a messy bun, Hige opened the door.

"You almost...rea...dy...?" He asked slowing his sentence.

Flashing him her mind melting smile, she said, "Yup! Are you?"

Hige just nodded and flushed bright red with a gulp.

Hee, hee! He's so cute!

Nami slipped on her blue flip flops and headed out the door.

Hige and Kiba were waiting outside. Hige had flushed an even deeper red. Obviously, Kiba had been taking with him.

Nami giggled and cheerfully said, "Come on! Let's go! I wanna learn to swim!"

Both boys flushed slightly as the insanely cute girl ran down the hall towards the bamboo door.

She was just about to the study when Hige ran to catch up to her. Giggling with excitement, she burst through the door, Hige right behind her.

"Gotcha!" Hige shouted, grabbing her around the waist.

Nami laughed, tears almost coming out of her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Hige stopped laughing and looked up at Kiba, blushing an even deeper red than he had outside her door.

Maybe Kiba was talking to Hige about me...probably reminding Hige that he had a girlfriend or something...

But her train of thought was interrupted when she saw the spring.

The whole floor was stone, and there were rocks scattered throughout the area. There was a bamboo fence with various plants all along the far wall. The spring itself was gorgeous. It was a horizontal 'S' facing them. The top of the 'S', closest to them, had high walls and you couldn't see the water there. Bu the rest was pretty open and included a high rock wall in a straight line at the second bend of the 'S'.

Inhaling a sharp breath, Nami took it all in. The night sky above her was open to her eyes; she could see the stars winking down at her.

"It's gorgeous!" she gasped, amazed that such a paradise existed.

"Well? You gonna just stand there or swim?" Hige asked with a smile.

"Wha? You know I can't swim!" she yelled, blushing.

"Come on, we'll teach ya!" he shouted, jumping into a deeper part, the right side, of the spring.

I'll kill them if they let me half drown...

Nami tiptoed down the steps into the shallow water. The water was soothing on her feet and felt like silk on her skin.

"Hurry up!" Kiba smiled with a laugh, shoving Nami into the water. Hige caught her, laughing.

Whipping her head around, she snapped at Kiba, "Are you trying to kill me?!"

"She's right, Kiba," Hige said mockingly. "That's no way to treat a lady."

Nami splashed him for the smart-ass comment and stood up, letting go of his neck. They both laughed at the sputtering boy as Kiba waded in.

Within the hour, Hige and Kiba had taught Nami how to float, do the front crawl and the back crawl. The only things she couldn't do yet were tread water, do freestyle, or do any of the stroked for more than five minutes straight. A lot of her arm muscles had never been used and she had trouble working them for a long period of time. The boys had only one thing left to teach her: freestyle.

"There is no way I'm putting my head under the water," she protested, shaking her head.

"Aw, come on! It's not that hard!" Hige said encouragingly.

"It is when you almost drowned at a kid!" she said, still refusing.

I can still remember the feeling of not being able to breathe...

"You know what they say: The best think to do when you fall off a horse is to get back on again," Kiba remarked, shrugging his shoulders.

Nami raised an eyebrow, "Do I look like I'm riding horses to you?"

Kiba rolled his eyes, "It's an expression."

"Well, it's stupid," she said matter-of-factly.

Suddenly, Hige had an idea. He went into the deeper end of the spring and began to tread water. To Nami adn Kiba, it looked as though he were standing.

"Alright then," he said with a sigh, "just use whatever stroke and swim to me, okay?"

Kiba smiled as Nami turned to swim to Hige

"Okay," she said, shrugging her shoulders.

Pushing off from the floor, Nami swam over to Hige. When she was about eight or nine feet away from him, Kiba shouted, "Be careful! The water's ten feet deep there!"

"What?!" Nami shouted, panic rising in her voice. Normally, she would have stopped and turned around, but she didn't know how to turn around without using a wall.

Damn you guys...she thought, gritting her teeth.

"Don't worry, I'll catch you," said Hige with a smile.

She didn't totally trust him, he'd just tricked her into going into the deep end but she really didn't have a choice.

The truth was, Nami could go under water, if she wanted to, without problems. While it was true that she couldn't do any strokes or tread water very well, she had practiced holding her breath in the tub when she was younger. If she remembered correctly, her longest record was three minutes and six seconds. And she only came up then because her mother began to panic. She just didn't like to, due to the old memory of the burning sensation and the feeling of blood loss as it trickled to your brain, trying to keep you alive in the case of drowning.

But, she thought, this time is an exception. A little scare is in order, don't you think?

When her outstretched arm was about two feet away from Hige, she grasped her leg and shouted, "Ah! I've got a cramp!"

Allowing herself to sink below the surface, she opened her eyes. The waster was so clear! You could see Kiba's figure rushing towards her. And he was fifteen feet away too.

She looked up towards Hige. She was almost at the bottom now, and kept her eyes open to just a tiny slit, so she could see him.

Panic filled his eyes as he swam towards her. Quickly putting a strong arm around her tiny waist, he swam to the surface. The only problem was, he wasn't getting there fast enough. While it was true she could hold her breath for three minutes when she was a kid, she hadn't swam since then. And that was almost 10 years ago.

Darkness was starting to creep around the edges of her vision, but they were only a few inches from the surface.

Dammit! I'm totally helpless! I totally froze on my way down! I can't move at all...Hige...hurry...
