CHAPTER 6

30 Minutes had past, Mei was trying to keep herself pre-occupied with her book but she couldn't help but steal a few glances at Yuzu while she was floating happily in the water.

'I really am a idiot' Mei thought to herself. "Excuse me Aihara-san?" Mei looked up to find Yamato standing next to her holding a towel, she glared at the man as she realised he was staring at Yuzu. "I havent seen the captain smile like that in a long time" Yamato looked back down at Mei. Mei knew that she had agreed with Yuzu to wait till everything was over to talk, but there was no harm in just asking a few questions from someone that has known the 'new Yuzu' as Mei would call it.

"How long have you known Yuzu for?" Yamato then sat beside Mei as he looked up at the clear sky. "ummmmm just going on 2 years now i guess. Its nice to see her relax a little" Mei had a shocked expression as the Yuzu she knew would always want to do nothing but relax all the time."Are you saying she didn't relax much in Canada?" Yamato gave Mei a smile " She is different from all the other Captains in charge, she would often do random things like this." Yamato gestured towards Yuzu who had just dove under a wave. " Thats why I thought I would bring this towel over, the last time she decided to take us all for a random swim we all ended up with a cold" He handed the towel to Mei, as he laughed a little "But I can tell right now that Cap is genuinely happy, even considering the circumstances" Mei gave him a confused look "What do you mean, are you talking about having to protect me?" Yamato quickly stood up "Ahh i'm sorry i think i have said too much, this is not my place to say" He quickly bowed as he retreated back to the car.

"ahhhhh that was soooo good, the wounds are feeling heaps better" Mei snapped her head around to be met with a drench Yuzu, the beads of water running down her toned body. "Is that for me Mei?" Mei then realised Yuzu was holding her hand out waiting for the towel. "ahhh yes, Yamato-san brought it for you" Mei handed the towel to Yuzu as she turned her face away trying to hide the blush on her cheeks.

Yuzu quickly dried herself off, she started to put her clothes back on. Mei stared intensely as Yuzu went to put the tank top back on, her eyes trailing the scars all over Yuzu's body "Can you tell me how you got them?" Yuzu still had her arms in the air, just about to pull the top down she turned around. "Are you sure you wanna know?" Yuzu put her arms down with them still in the top. Mei stood up and looked straight into Yuzu's eyes. "I want to know everything about you Yuzu, I know we plan to talk later but can you at least let me in a little right now" Mei's face was turning red as she spoke. Yuzu closed her eyes "Which one?" Mei's eyes widened as she felt that she couldn't let this opportunity pass her. Yuzu felt Mei's soft hands touch her left arm as she kept her eyes closed "This one?" mei asked softly as she didn't want to scare her away " That was my first gunshot wound, I was on my third investigation when a perp surprised me from behind and I didn't have time to dodge" Mei then kept the contact as she then trailed her hand to touch Yuzu's right rib cage then trailed the long scare up her back and to her left shoulder. "What about this one?" Keeping her eyes closed Yuzu answered. " That one was in a sword fight, about this time last year, I made the mistake of thinking he was down for the count when he suddenly slashed me from behind" Mei then moved her hand to Yuzu's right shoulder blade "And here?" Yuzu could hear Mei's voice starting to crack, she continued to keep her eyes closed as she answered the raven haired girl again. "That was another gunshot, I got it when i jumped in front to save Hina and Sakura one time. There wasn't much time and my body just moved without thinking" Yuzu then turned around and grabbed Mei's hand, she opened her eyes to see tears flowing down Mei's soft cheeks. " Mei I think thats enough, I dont like to see you upset, especially because of me" Yuzu gave Mei a soft smile "No, I want to kno-, no i need to know. You are always protecting everyone and putting yourself in harms way but who is protecting you Yuzu?" Yuzu looked shocked as she heard Mei putting her feelings out there for her to see, the Mei Yuzu knew would never be this open. She would bottle everything up. "O.k Mei" Yuzu then kept her grip on Mei's hand as she moved it down to the left side of her hip "This one was when a building exploded and a piece of metal flew out and pierced my side. Mei looked Yuzu straight in the eyes, she tried to convey everything to her but as Yuzu looked back into her violet eyes she felt like she was hiding something. " and then there are the 2 i got yesterday" Yuzu pointed to the 2 gunshot wounds she had just received.
