Aoi was now strolling against the brushes, a black cloak hovering near his legs. The sky was now at its highest peak, clouds went as slow as a snail on a log, the far mountains seemed never-ending and although Aoi had to hunt he never groaned about it. A small tranquil stream ran along Aoi's left side, while a group of trees on his right. Aoi's hair was now combed and looked more formal, however his face was twisted. 

"What should i hunt today?" Aoi repeated, gliding over an over-grown log on the green ground. A sudden hisss~ came from the near bush in front of the cloaked boy. The soft noises of water rushing to his left stopped.

Aoi knew this would be a snake so he slowly yet cautiously lifted the bramble bush at its most non-thorny side. But to his surprise, there was nothing! Just twigs and a few mosses lying around. 

"I swear i heard a snake" he recalled, shaking the thought off Aoi started walking deeper and deeper into the forest. "Jeez i didn't even take a bath" Aoi desperately looks around for a lake or river when he hears the splashing of water north-east to him. The leaves fall on his shoulder as he races towards the sound, viewing a spectacular view of a small waterfall~

"Woah.. i'd wish the Nagasaki Clan would have this beauty"

Aoi glanced around. The atmosphere was motionless and luring him in. Slowly, Aoi took off his cloak and clothes, wrapping a towel around his "you know whats". The soft water was now flowing along his dry feet, it gave new life which Aoi was surprised to feel in a remote place like this.

Suddenly, the water began to change direction towards another patch of bushes along the waterfall. Aoi was confused, bewildered by what lies on the other side of the water in which the water drastically changed its route.

Cautiously, Aoi stepped deeper into the small lake. The water was as hot as a real hot spring which is rare in these parts. A small ahh~ fled from his mouth. His face relaxed into the depths of the lake. A small splash flickered on his face, the water dripped down to his jaw-line.

"What the hell?", Aoi glanced towards the other side of the waterfall. "Who's watching me bathe?!"

There was nothing but silence and the noise of water upon the glistening rocks

Aoi shook his head in disbelief, "Must be a persky animal around..." he groaned. When Aoi reached to take off his towel, another dashing  flicker of water hits his face.

"GET THE FUCK OUT!" Aoi is now standing, his towel turns lopsided. He quickly fixes it. "Stop playing games and come out.." Aoi's voice tears in annoyance as he walks towards the bushes covering the other side.

The bush is uncovered by his hand, Aoi sees-
