Chapter 4: Let's hit the Hot Springs!
*At the Kannagi Mansion*
"Hey! Wake up people!" Ayano started to shout inside the house. Megumi was startled by her shout and almost fell on the floor. "Huh… What is it, Ayano?" Megumi asked as she opened her door. "Yeah, What's up with you in this early morning?" Ren asked rubbing his eyes. Ayano rushed to Ren and Megumi's side, her eyes sparkling. The two sweat dropped. "You're freaking me out!" Ren said. "Awww! Let's go to the hot springs!" Ayano pouted cutely. "He? Hot springs?" Megumi asked. Ayano nodded. "Hm? Why so sudden?" Ren questioned. "Yukari called me and said she won in a draw lot of 6 tickets to the hot springs!" Ayano said cheerfully. "Wow! She's really lucky in draw lots" Ren said. Megumi smiled, "Will Ren and I come with you guys?" she asked. Ayano throw a hug on Megumi, "Of course you will! You, me, Ren, Kazuma, Yukari and Nanase will hit the hot springs!" she said cutely. "Uhm, Ayano, she can't breathe!" Ren said with a sweat dropped. Ayano let go of the hug, Megumi was catching her breath. "Okay, you two pack your things now" Ayano said and went off.
*At the Hot Springs*
"I can't believe I'm here" Kazuma said emotionlessly as he walked by Ayano's side. She hit him on the head lightly, "Stop complaining! Thanks to Yukari, you're free in this hot spring!" she said with a nerve popped on her head. Yukari and Nanase laughed, while Ren and Megumi sweat dropped. "They sure make a good couple, aren't they?" Nanase said with a sly smile. "Yup! I agree with you Nanase!" Yukari added with a chuckle. Ayano blushed hardly and remained quiet about the matter, while Kazuma just continued to take the heck out of Ayano.
"Alright! We're in pairs with the room!" Yukari announced. "I'll room with Nanase. Kazuma you'll room with Ayano. That remains Ren and Megumi" she continued with a sly smile. "W-Wait! Yukari!" Ayano protested but Yukari gave her a knowing look and she bit her tongue. "Uhm, I'll share a room with you Ren?" Megumi asked blushing. "Y-Yeah… I guess because Yukari wants it" Ren replied blushing. There's a silence between the two. "H-Hey, don't worry Megumi, I won't do anything bad to you" Ren assured her, blushing. Megumi showed more than a layer of blush and she nodded. "Well, this is our room, Megumi" Ren said as he opened the door and they both enter. "Wow! It has a soothing atmosphere" Megumi said smiling. They arranged their things and headed outside, to the indoor pool. "Wow! There is a pool in here!" Megumi said cutely. "Yup. You want to swim?" Ren asked. Megumi looked into his eyes, of course he blushed. "Ren, I don't know how to swim" she pouted cutely. Ren smirked, "That's fine, I'll teach you how to" he said and grabbed her hand, and they ran towards the pool. "Yo!" Kazuma said. "Oh, hi bro!" Ren said. Megumi bowed. "You guys will swim?" Kazuma asked. "Yeah. You too?" Ren replied. "Hm. Maybe, if Ayano will" Kazuma said with a sly smile and wink. Ren sweat dropped, "I'm not feeling good about his thoughts" Ren thought to himself. "Come on, Ren. Let's go swim!" Megumi said and grabbed Ren's hand. They jumped in the pool with Megumi still holding Ren's hand. She's wiggling her legs and feet, afraid to get drown. Ren put her hands on his shoulder and put his hands around her waist. He smirked. "Don't be afraid, I got you" he said smiling and bit blushing. Megumi calmed down, looked in Ren's eyes and smiled sweetly.
They've been in the pool for more than an hour; Ren teaching Megumi to swim while the rest of the guys were with them in the pool playing ball. After the pool, they all went to the hot spring and had a relaxing warm bath.
*At Ren and Megumi's Room*
"Oh! I'm exhausted!" Ren said and lay down on the bed. Megumi was in front of the mirror combing her hair. She smiled, "Yes, but all of us had a great time, didn't we Ren?" she said sweetly. She put the comb down and sat beside Ren on the bed. Obviously they both blush! (AU: haha. Well, you can't help it, especially when both of you feel a mutual love within)
Ren sat up. Look at Megumi's peridot green eyes. She smiled at him. He moved his face closer to hers. Their noses are touching each other. They both smirked blushing. Ren would kiss Megumi, until they heard an unusual noise in the next room; Kazuma and Ayano's room. Ren blushed, he heard a moan. Megumi still innocent about those matters asked, "Hm? What was that noise Ren?". Ren was trying to control himself not to do anything perverted to Megumi. He stood up. "I-It's nothing Megumi. Don't try to bother with them, okay?" he said blushing hardly. Megumi nodded. "Alright" she said and stood up as well. "Hm? Where are you going?" he asked. "I'll just breathe some fresh air outside" she said smiling. Ren smiled, "Okay, I'll come too" he said and entwined his hand with hers. They both walked hand in hand together and headed towards the garden.
*At the Hot Spring's Garden*
They sat on the white bench across an enormous fountain. Megumi looked up in the sky. "Wow! The stars are so many tonight, look Ren!" she said smiling and pointing upward. He did as he was told. "Yeah. They're beautiful, just like you are" he said and looked into her eyes. She smiled and blushed by the compliment. He put his lips on hers. They kissed so innocently, not more than a minute lasted. Ren smirked seeing Megumi's face so red as a fresh apple. "Are you not cold?" Ren asked. She shook her head. He smiled. They should be heading towards their room when a wind blew so hard in their direction. Ren covered Megumi. "Wh-What was that?" Ren asked. The wind stopped and revealed a figure of a man, amidst the dust. Megumi's eyes widen.
A man wearing a black cloak with green peridot eyes like her and with raven hair appeared in front of them. Megumi was frozen in her spot. Ren eyed the man. "Who are you?" he asked bravely. The man smirked. "I should be the one asking you the same question young boy" the man said in a dangerous tone. Ren's eyebrows twitch, "What do you mean?" he snapped back. The man continued to just smirk. "The girl you're holding, is my daughter" he said in an even more dangerous tone. Ren's eyes widen in surprised and horror. "Megumi's father, Alkan…" he thought uneasily. Megumi's grip on his shirt tighten, "He'd found me. No point in hiding anymore" she said looking at Ren's eyes. "Alright young boy, please give me back my daughter this instance" Alkan said in his normal tone. "I don't want to go with you!" Megumi shot back. Alkan's eyes widen. "Why you!..." Alkan said furiously and throw a fire ball into their direction. Ren created a barrier. "I refuse, sir. Your daughter already said no" Ren said in a dangerous tone. Alkan gave a perilous smirk. "Ah, you want a death fight young boy? Then I shall give it to you" he said seriously. Ren clutch his hand, "I won't fail this time, Megumi, I promise" he thought. "Stay back, Megumi" he said seriously. Megumi's eyes will near to cry, "Ren… You don't have to do this for me, it will cause you so much trouble!" she said looking into his eyes directly. Ren smiled, "I'm doing this because I love you, Megumi" he said blushing. Her eyes widen, tears begin to fall on her cheeks. "Oh, Ren… " she muttered clutching her hands on her chest.
"Enough with the drama already!" Alkan said furiously. Ren smirked. "Fine. Let's start" he said ferociously.
