We all headed further into the woods. My mind was blank the only thing I could think about was her, that name she gave me back there. I looked up from the ground glancing at Liyanin in front of me, enjoying the way her body moved how her tail swung around. It's almost like she was teasing me. What am I thinking.

"So who wants too!" Rotxo started to speak till rain started to pour. We all ran back under a large tree it's leaves and branches almost building out into a small hut. "Seriously!" Rotxo hissed. I noticed how close me and Liyanin were, I wondered if she cared. I certainly didn't. I noticed Lo'ak and Tsireya snuggling together as if they didn't care we could see, Rotxo just there alone hissing to himself. "The rain is very cold.." Lo'ak tried to speak, his teeth chattering.

"We have not got rain in quite a while, so it will be very cold for the rest of the day." Tsireya spoke softly. Rotxo jumped out from the leaves keeping us shelter and jumped around. The dirt below him turned to mud from the rain, his feet turned black and mud shot everywhere when he jumped. "Rotxo your splashing mud!" I hissed. He shrugged and ran around. I looked at the others and saw Liyanin smiling as if she was debating. Then she jumped out joining him. They yelled together in joy. I stood there confused on how playing in mud and cold rain was fun. Her smile towards Rotxo slightly pissed me off. Why though.

Then Lo'ak and Tsireys joined and I was left alone giving them looks. They all splashed around, soaking wet from rain as their feet and a few spots of mud was on their feet. "Join us brother!" Tsireya called to me, her smile pure and wide. Her dimples showing. "Yea hard pass." I shook my head eyes closed for a second then mud came in contact with mine. I opened my eyes. My ears dropped. Now I'm pissed.

When I noticed it was Liyanin who had done it i softened. Not serious or angered anymore but more playful. She stood their laughing with a muddy hand. I blinked clearing my muddy eyes as the others joined her laughter. Then I ran out grabbing mud with both my hands and throwing it at her with what felt like seconds. She gasped and I hissed. I missed her face and it hit her chest. "Ha missed fish lover!" She moved side to side and grabbed more mud, everyone joined too. Now we all were out for blood throwing mud left and right.

Rotxo came running towards me ready to throw mud when he tripped. A big splash of mud went everywhere as if a wave in the ocean, only slightly getting hit with the mud. We all died laughing. Rotox blinked confused, as if he hit the ground so hard he lost his memory. I held out my hand for him to take it and he slowly did. Then I thought he could pull me down but brushed it off. He better not.

"You definitely need to bathe." Lo'ak laughed. Rotox smiled and joined the laughter and nodded. "Where can we bathe around here?" Liyanin asked as she picked mud from out of her tongue. "We have some stream in the forest or the ocean." I cleared my throat at the last part. Not many people did it, only some elders and woman with their babies. "Uh here in the forest please." Liyanin softly giggled with sarcasm. "Wait when did the rain stop" Taireya held her hand out looking up. We all must have been deeply into that mud fight to notice the rain had stopped.

"Can we bathe now! Look at me!" Rotxo shouted. "There are more streams deeper into the forest everyone pick your own." I said leading the way. I pointed at one and Lo'ak and Tsireya ran towards it. "Um and where are you two going? You better not be.." "We won't brother!" Tsireya shook her head, a hint of aggression in her voice and they ran. I rolled my eyes with disgust. Going deeper I tried to walk to one when Rotxo ran in first. "Rotxo really!?" "Look at me! I need this go get another one you big baby!" He hissed and I hissed back. I saw Liyanin pick one and it was large.

I continued to searched but couldn't find one at all. Only the smallest of ones not even a fish could fit. I dropped my ears having no choice but to ask Rotox to share. Great. Rotxo hissed as I got closer. "Dude chill we're both boys. Look I can't find another stream.. can we please share?" I asked the nicest way possible to try persuade him. And it failed. "Look its too small I barely can fit!" He paused, his face brightened as he smirked. "Go ask Liyanin to share.." he chuckled.

"Are you crazy! No way that's wrong in many ways, dude please." "I know you like her I bet she'll say yes and you guys could." I hissed to stop him from continuing and walked away. leaving me no choice. I would go to the ocean but to do it in front of the whole clan in salt water. And having to walk through the village muddy no thanks.

I gulped as I approached. "Uh Liyanin.." I called out. I heard her gasp and water splash around. "Aonung I'm trying to bathe what!?" Her voice starting to panic. "I know I know! I'm sorry to ask this but.. there's no more streams and Rotox won't share.. I won't look I promise but could you.. share?.." I said slowly, hope in my voice. My ears perked as she sighed. "I.. fine but. Close your eyes and turn the opposite way.." she agreed with regret. I felt bad I could wait but. At the same time this was exciting. No! This isn't exciting to share a stream with her. Aonung get a grip!

I shook away those thoughts covering my eyes as I walked into the water. "Could you turn so I'm allow to undress..?" I asked gulping. I heard the water move. "Yes but don't peek." I turned around walking in backwards. I took my knife out of its hold and placed it on the grass, then removing my tweng. I gulped my jaw tensing at the fact I was now out and free. I sat the other way looking far away. "Are you done..?" She whispered. "Yes but I'm turned. I won't look."

I heard splashing and my ears perked up. She's not looking at me is she..!? My heart started to beat faster. It was silent so I can bet Liyanin could hear. Then she said something that made me wish to die.
