Atrocious

- Chapter 20 -

Narrator POV

It was still light and Anna assumed that the children would be there in two to three hours.
The Wild, wild Pussycats had also gone into the woods at some distance to watch out for the children.
So she was alone in the onsen - for women. Shielded by a wall of bamboo trunks, the onsen for men was next to it - that was where Shota and Sekijiro would be.
She followed them into the right wing of the facility and received a key from Aizawa.
No. 17
Sekijiro had No. 15 and Aizawa had No. 13.
Always a room in between.
"The onsen is being warmed up for us," Shota said, stopping in front of his room, "We should take the chance before it gets too noisy with the classes. In the meantime, we can talk about how to get you to use your specialty better."
"Me?" she asked in surprise, but knew what he meant.
Her schools back then were not designed for offense, neither defensive nor offensive.
She took the path of education in her school career. Not heroism.
But now she's at U.A.
She had to fight.
Especially now that the rogue league wants to realize their goal of pure chaos.
"Then I'll "not" see you in 5 min, but talk to you in the onsen right away." said Sekijiro, smiling at his own statement.
Once that was settled, all three of them went to their rooms and Anna looked on.
A classically Japanese furnished room lined with tatami.
Everything was simple and traditional, but the bathroom was ultra-modern and the bed very luxurious and large.
The room was quite large and Anna appreciated it because the students had smaller sleeping areas without their own bathroom and a futon instead of a modern bed.

Anna threw the bag on her bed and took out her slippers and towels.
Her anticipation was so great that she completely undressed within a second and threw the towels around her.
She put her cold feet into her slippers, took one last look in the bathroom mirror to see how ready she looked and then walked out.
She was not prepared for the obstacle that stood in front of her door and held her hands protectively in front of her body.
Her fine restraints found a place in Sekijiro's large hands and Anna looked at him in amazement.
He was standing in front of her door.
"I wanted to knock on your door to talk to you," he said and let go of her.
He stood topless in front of her, a towel wrapped around his waist, and smiled at her.
His gaze was always so loving and Anna smiled back.
"What do you want to talk about?" she asked, wanting to touch his toned chest again.
"About us," he leaned forward and supported himself against the wall to her door.
Anna leaned against her door and tried to breathe calmly.
Did he want to talk about the two of them?
"About us?" she repeated, nervously brushing a few strands of hair out of her face.
"About the fact that I want you...and I think you feel the same way"
She swallowed. Did he want to pick up where they had left off?
"You know you can't."
He smiled and stroked her arms. He slowly worked his way down.
"We're not at the school. And there are plenty of undisturbed places..." he said and put a hand around her waist.
Before she could reply, a door burst open and Aizawa stood in the doorway.
Sekijiro had detached himself from her and kept his distance.
Had Shota seen something?
Anna walked away from the front and could see from the corner of her eye that he was also only wearing a towel.
He looked muscular and with his costume she could never have guessed how muscular he was.
It was a tricky situation and she wasn't sure how to deal with it.
They reached the onsen and Anna went into the women's shower, the others into the designated men's shower.
She placed her towel in one of the wooden shelves at the entrance to the spring and showered off.
Then she left the area and went outside to the spring.
It was large and beautifully designed. There were massive seating stones and green plants all around. At the back was a sunbathing area filled with sand. There were several sun loungers on it.
She felt her way around the water with her toes first. When the temperature seemed pleasantly hot, she slowly climbed in.
At first, the water was perhaps too hot and stung her skin a little.
After a few seconds, however, she got used to it and the soothing warmth spread from her feet to her head.
She turned back and forth with pleasure and looked up with satisfaction.
The sky was gradually getting darker.
In three to four hours it should be completely dark.
Then, as instructed by the school, the staff will prepare everything for an open cooking in the garden.
