Wakana and I sat in the bathtub after the incident and comforted each other. She was beginning to feel sick and there was blood on her clothes and skin, I decided we needed to calm our nerves after what happened.
I picked up a cloth and soaked it with some medicine and dabbed it on the gash. Wakana barely flinches while I made sure I didn't apply too much pressure on it and made it start bleeding again.
"I'm sorry." I hear Wakana whisper.
"For what?" I look down at her as she continues to look down at the water.
"For being such a burden. You almost got killed today because of me."
I let out a sigh as she makes this complaint again.
"How many times do I have to tell you?" I ask, making her look up at me finally. "You are not causing a burden. I would have done anything to save you tonight."
Wakana looks away from me before I hook her chin with my finger and face her towards me again.
"If anything did happen to you, I would have killed myself."
"Kotaro,"
"I'm serious. I can't live without you." I tell her in a frank manner.
It grew silent for a minute as we both stared at each other before Wakana leans up and locks her lips with mine. Pulling her closer to me, I push my lips against hers and held a firm grip as we continue to kiss passionately. Or until the door was knocked on.
"Hey, quick making out during a situation like this." I hear Goemon say from the other side of the door with a smirk on his lips.
Wakana blushes deeply while I roll my eyes at him.
"How you two doing?"
"Wakana is doing better." I reply.
"And you?"
I look down at my cut hand before putting it in the water again. "I just got a small cut, nothing big."
"Okay. Well, I got the body out and it is gone forever. By the way, did you know your little creek outside is deeper than you think?" Goemon remarks to me, making me raise an eyebrow at him.
"Wait, what?"
"I dumped him in the creek." I open my mouth to protest but then close it because I quickly calculated the rapid speed, height of the water and the direction of the creek. And that body will already be decomposed and frozen the next time it meets another being.
"Also, I made some ramen, so when you're ready, I'll be with Akane and Hosuke in the kitchen."
His silent footsteps left the doorway and Wakana and I were alone once again.
Wakana suddenly leans into me and wraps her arms around my waist in silence. Looking down at her, I wrap my arms around her and kiss the top of her head.
"Kotaro, I love you. Thank you for saving me." She whispers loud enough for me to hear, making me let out a little smile.
"I love you too, Wakana."
