I don't own free

The heat in summer was great, but for Seijuro the only down side was that he couldn't sleep at night when it got to warm. Usually the fan in his room would keep him cool, yet for some reason that night he just couldn't settle. So unable to taking lying on his bed anymore he threw on a pair of shorts, a vest and decided to go for a walk.

The night air was cool against his flushed skin. The air gave him at least some relief from the heat, heading towards the harbour he hoped that the sea air would give even more relief, what he hadn't been excepting was to see the figure of someone one the beach standing in the sallow water slowly wading out.

As he got closer he noticed it was a girl, in fact it was someone he knew. "Gou?" He asked out loud wondering if he was just seeing things, but the closer he got the more he realized she was moving out to sea. "Gou!"

He started running when he noticed she hadn't stopped. When he first saw her, he could tell she was in shorts and a vest top like himself, but now her entire waist had disappeared and the rest of her was slowly following after it. Running into the water the salt water left a bad taste in his mouth but he carried on wading after her.

The water had reached her shoulder and he could make out her bobbing head in the water from the moon light. When he was just in reach, is when she disappeared under. Shouting her name he dove under and searched the black water for her until he felt her and pulled her up.

She chocked and coughed clinging to him. "It's okay, I got you, I got you." He assured as he dragged them back to shore. Once safely back on land he let himself fall onto the sand holding Gou. Noticing she hadn't moved he rolled them over so that she lay beneath him. "Gou?, Gou?." He called her softly, his eye's narrowing as he watched her blink her eye's open, then turn her gaze from him back towards the sea. "Gou!" He said his voice more firm.

"He was calling me." She frowned struggling to seat up, Seijuro gripped her shoulder and helped her into a sitting position. Both of them facing out towards the sea.

"Who was calling you?" He promoted, wondering just what the hell was going on.

"My Dad."She whispered trying to stand but Seijuro pulled her back down.

"Gou, it was a dream." Seijuro knew that Rin and Gou's father had passed, he didn't know how but he had an idea of how now.

"A dream?" She said looking down at her drenched clothes.

"Yeah, a dream. Do you...wanna talk about it?"

Gou was silent for sometime before she nodded. "My dad..he died at sea. I was a child and never got to know him like Rin did, but sometime's I dream of him." Gou told.

"So when you heard him calling, you thought that it was real and you were following after him." Seijuro asked.

Gou smiled sadly looking up at him. "I sound so dumb, don't I?"

"No! No!" Seijuro said hugging her to him once more. "I get were your coming from, but God Gou. I've never felt so afraid then I did seeing you disappear under the water." Seijuro confessed holding her closer.

"I'm sorry."Gou whispered in return, wrapping her arms around him.

"I just don't know what I would have done if I hadn't reached you in time."

"I'm glad you did." Gou said burying her face in his chest. He smell like the sea and for some reason that put her at ease.

The walk back to her house was uneventful, seeing as it was still too early for most to be up. The whole walk Seijuro held onto Gou's hand unwilling to release it, even after she said that he could let go. The blush Gou had in the beginning had faded as she came to realize that her hand seemed to fit perfectly in Seijuro's hand.

"This is you, isn't it?" Seijuro asked pulling Gou from her thoughts.

"Yeah, it is. Thanks for walking me home and ..well you know." Gou trailed off.

Seijuro let loose a laugh that Gou hadn't realized she missed until now. "Don't dwell on it Gou. Next time it happens get my number from Rin and give me a call, Okay?" He said as she opened her front door.

"Okay, goodnight." She said looking up into gold coloured eye's.

"Night." He said and turned to walk back down the path. Gou had been about close the door when he spoke again. "And Gou even if there's not a next time you can still call me any time." He grinned then turned back to the street leaving Gou in the doorway.

Gou smiled as she closed the door. Turning she decided it would be best to steal the number from Rin's phone while he was asleep, other wise he wouldn't give it to her.
