Bath Time

It was not a pleasant situation.

First, I’m in a bathroom with a girl that’s a few years younger than me, and she’s washing my back.

I was wearing swimming trunks.

And she was wrapped in a bath towel.

It was so awkward I could barely breathe. I was not in the mood to talk. Of course! I barely knew her.

Akame poured water on my back. I thanked her, got up, and made a run for the door.

“Nii-nii…!” She got up, but tripped on something and fell.

“Whoa, are you alright?!” I knelt down beside her. Akame sniffled because her knee bled. “Did you get a cut? Can you stand?”

“Please, don’t vent it out on Akame.”

I remembered what Kaname-san said. It’s not like I could vent anything out on this little girl. I felt really sorry for her.

“I’m a-alright…” Akame licked her wound. I held her towel to keep it from falling off, but brushed against her skin. She looked up at me.

Her eyes were not the same as that scaredy-cat little girl I’ve seen so far, but like that of an…

Evil spirit.

I fell backwards. No, it couldn’t be. I did not have my glasses, so maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Akame stood up, and I scooted backwards, trying to keep my distance from her, but my back soon hit the wall.

Akame pushed her weight on me and stuck out her tongue… the longest tongue I’d ever seen on a human body.

“Akame-chan, what are you doing…?” My voice was hoarse, and I was petrified. I was afraid. Very afraid.

Her wet tongue licked my neck and moved across my face. I dared not breathe.

“Akame-chan, stop it!”

I stood up. She went rolling on the ground, and went still.

“Aka…?” I quickly went to check on her. Her face was bright red, and she breathed heavily, as if in pain.

Before I could think things through, I scooped her up and ran out the door.

“Kaname-san! Dad! Anyone!” I yelled across the hall.

The first person to reach us was dad, with Kaname-san following closely behind. She took her daughter from my arms.

“Yuuya, what’s going on?”

I felt a jolt of pain.

“Yuu…?”

Again, that pain again.

My vision turned red. I felt like somebody was stabbing my back over and over.

“Ugh…gah…”

I was sweating through every pore, and I stood there, paralyzed.

“Yuuya?! What’s wrong?!”

“Yuuya-kun!!!”

I screamed.
