Xenneth had smiled as he had sat there in wait. His expression blissful hearing her response as he had lifted his head once more in glee. He had stared happily letting her voice ring into his ears as it was like an enchanting reminder that she was looking out for him. "Thanks Saga-san...I'm glad to hear that..." he said before he knew it he was aware Saga was behind him, but he wasn't thinking about the fact they were in the spring.
"Anyway...I..." Xenneth had turned around along the rock to see Saga not far from him. She wasn't that far, but he could make her out only a little with that hair and upper figure even with the towel wrapped around him. Almost instantly, he stopped kicking and he had sunk into the water as if he forgot how to swim letting Saga's appearance being a mental block. He splashed until he had stood slightly to be able to see her while duckings lowly into the water.
"Saga-san!" he had said as he had lowered his body. "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to stare, I mean...you look great! I never expected to see you like...uh...in this situation..." he said awkwardly as he stared towards her a bit embarassed, and on top of that shy of her presence. "She looks more gorgeous than before!" he had detailed in his mind even though he couldn't say it aloud like he was being chocked by beauty alone.

Blinking once, and tilting her head, Saga blinked a second time and recognized his reaction, but didn't bother to move to hide herself more.
She gave a tiny giggle at his actions, actually and smiled sweetly, finding it utterly adorable. She was embaressed or angry or anything but happy that he enjoyed the sight of her body, it raising her spirits and her heart began thudding in her chest again.
"Glad you like the view.." she said sweetly, trying hard to not poke fun at him, figuring it might be a little embaressing for Zen. She tilted her head and laid it down sideways upon her arms, looking rahter adorable, the bottom half of her body hidden amongst the steamy water, looking rather much like a mermaid or a siren come to seduce someone.. or had she already done such..?
Saga bit her bottom lip cutely, and grinned, testing waters, no pun intended, and ventured out from behind the rock slowly, as if approaching a timid animal. She started to slowly make her way and eventually sat down on a rock under the water, the top-half of her shining busom visable over the towel, and sat only but just a foot away from Zen, her face blushing.
She was normally more bold and upfront about her feelings, but she felt differently with Zen and didn't want to spoil something so sweet, so pure, so gentle and so wonderful so soon.
"Y'know.. you're really cute, yourself, Zen-kun.." she admitted, blushing a little more, staring down at her hand, which held the towel against her body gently.

Xenneth almost drew back seeing her swim from behind the rock slowly approaching. She had almost seemed like she was gracefully making her way over without any shame or embarrassment of how they seen each other as of now. He tried to be like her and act like he was unphased by the sight of her as she was of him, but it was hard seeing that he never actually gotten this close and personal with such a cute girl before, and she made him feel strange since she had confide in him so much during their first meeting. He took his time pacing himself as Saga had sat on the rock in front of him.
”There’s nothing to be afraid of…this is only Saga-san. Besides, it’s not like she thinks of me as someone that cute for a crush or something…not that I have I crush on her!” he had thought as his mind was so flustered it sounded like he was arguing with himself in his head. He had told her he’d stay by her and watch over her forever as a friend, but did he mean that, or something else during that embarrassing statement.
At the sound of her voice referring to him as “cute” his mind snapped as it almost felt like glass shattered the wall of curiosity about her thoughts. Ah! Did she just say I was cute? he had asked himself in his mind. His cheeks flustered as he stared towards her. He didn’t know how to respond. Should he return her compliment, or should he try to digress to another conversation. He had to sniff the warm air of the spring to see if he was possibly not cooking from how hot he felt.
“Uh, really? Thanks…it’s been a while since someone called me that…I think…no one’s ever described me as cute.” He had said since most people only called him cute because of the fact of the colored hair and single braid that looked feminine like a girl, but he wondered how she meant it by. His heart thumped to the point that he could swear if he picked his body up more from the depths of the spring, she’d be able to see it jump from his chest.

Saga reached out and poked his nose and smiled cutely, as if that was her answer to his question and giggled afterward, regal blue eyes twinkling mischeviously.
She slid herself a little closer, seeing if she could get closer without spooking him away. She eventually accomplished her goal and was practically sitting beside him, though a few inches apart to keep both of them seperate wihtout making it seem like she was going jump his bones or something.
Saga's dampened sandy blonde hair shimmered in the starlit night as she moved her head, tilting it forward slightly and grinned widely. She reached out once more and stroked Zen's neatly colored hair, finding it rather soft, feather-like, dispite the water that clung to it. Her fingers ran along his head sweetly and smiled still.. something her mother often did to her to calm her when Saga was little.. Saga found it one of the few things comforting her, and thought if it worked on it, why not others?
She had been respectful and had not let her eyes wander places they shouldn't go just yet, keeping her eyes on Zen's chest and up, but her eyes were mostly focused on either his bead, his hair, or his eyes, which entranced her every time she saw them, ever since their first meeting with each other she had fallen for his eyes. Blue was her favorite color, even though the red of her school outfit declined otherwise with her dark skin.

Xenneth had blinked as he felt her poke at his nose and remained silent. It was strange even though he didn’t catch onto what she meant since he was kind of ditzy when it came to people throwing him a hint. She had drawn herself closer to him as she was by his side. He didn’t mind at all. If it made her feel comfortable he would bear it for her sake, but above that, he didn’t have the desire to move away from her as well. He sat there comforted by her touch as she had a strange method. Maybe it belonged to someone else, but at best, it worked for her, because it was making him feel a lot better.
He hadn’t said anything else as he had simply let his eyes drift to one corner to see her expression. He had made a straight face and it broke into a small smile as he had leaned his body towards hers until they’re shoulders meshed as he was careful not to make the towel along her body slump to reveal her bosoms. He had let his eyes drift to see her eyes. Now that he had thought about it, they had a nice coloring to them. They reminded him of the color of something beautiful and vivid.
”Saga-san…I like you…” he had thought as he wished he could say those words allowed, but he didn’t know if she’d accept those words. He had only made that straight face that fiend a smile once more as he had left words unsaid and simply basked in her presence…pleasantly.

Saga smiled at his slow action of pressing his shoulder against hers and continued stroking his hair, wondering to herself what he was thinking, her own racing rapidly, as opposed to her cool outer exterior.
I'm in love with you, Zen-kun.. she thought as he mind came to one sudden, duh-moment halt.
She swallowed down her heart in her throat, whispering quietly the exact thought she had "I'm.. I like you.. alot.. Zen-kun."
she had jumped out into dangerous waters, tossing her heart precariously out into the fray, and hoping that it wouldn't get hurt. She opened up herself to someone, and so quickly at that.. the only other person that made her heart thump the way it does now no longer existed to her as long as she could have Zen.

Xenneth had gasped hearing her whisper and lifted his own shoulder for only a second. He hadn't let it last as he only plush onto her once more not caring about what she said that would make him feel so insecure. He had no reason to be anything but pure joyful toward her giving such an open expression, but "like" and "love" were still two different boundaries. He had rested upon her shoulder with his own as he simply responded.
"I-I...I like you too Saga-san." he had responded just as quietly as she had. He nestled against her as they had sat there simply enjoying each other's presence at letting the night slip away under their happiness, but unsaid words. Still, he wasn't aware of her words as she wasn't of his, or at least he thought so. How far were to they going and how far were they to leap, but "like" was the only thing that carried them. He felt great about that, or did he want the true? He wasn't sure if she felt that way about him, nor if she would. He knew there were better duelists at this school and much more handsome rather than cute. Who preferred cute most of the days anyway?

She rested her head lightly upon his shoulder, giving a content sigh and continued to brush her fingers through Zen's hair, and watched the twinkling night sky.
She let the silence surround and envelop them slowly, the only sounds that were make were the sounds of her breathing, the water splashing and the faint sound of the distant miniature waterfall that churned the water to keep it fresh and warm all the time.
Shuttign her eyes finally, Saga pulled her arm back around and laid them in her lap, using the sides of her arm to hold the towel up to cover her body and felt herself relax a little more.

Xenneth had slightly closed his eyes as it was almost in that same mesmeric half opened state that he had when he gazed forward hypnotically. He didn’t say anything more as he had felt Saga against him. Falling into the temptation of touch, he had reached his hand to her holding onto it as his lips have curved into a smile that night. He couldn’t admit his love for her, but he always had his ways of showing his affection as he held her hand.
“It’s funny…this is all it takes to connect us.” He said placing his thumb on back of her hand with a smile stroking it across once as if confirming that small fact. He lifted his head gazing towards her as he opened his eyes slightly more and gave that trademark dashing smile he was so accustomed to.

Saga gave a gentle nod and smiled, "It's a weird thing, too.. A simple touch connects so many people."
She blushed a little, blinking her regal eyes, seeing his dashing smile and smiled back her own trademark, somewhat goofy, yet aloof, and sweet little smile that meant everything was okay.

Xenneth had smiled hearing her. He nodded confirming that, but he knew his heart was saying something else as he held onto her hand and turned facing down towards the calm waters looking towards the reflection of them together. "Actually...I meant more than thought." he had thought in mind as he had kept a straight face with his cheeks feeling warm from the flustering thought of his statement's true meaning.

Saga looked skyward, blinking her deep, royal-blue eyes at the bright moonlight and suddenly stood, casting Zen a look to see if he was watching her or not as the water ran down the back of her body. She took a few steps forward and dove into the water before her, dragging the towel she had on her with her, so as to not make any further embaressing scenes.
She swam, elegantly, under the hot water, surfacing moments later, her cheeks a soft pink from the hot water, floating on her back, using the towel to keep herself covered.

As he stared towards the spring waters seeing Saga float away, he had simply watched almost growing admiring in her qualities. Her body had parted the waters making the reflected moon distort upon her presence, and he only could watch in an elegant moment. He didn't know what to say as he had captured the moment in mind like a lovely truth on a photograph.
"I wonder...if being in love with her is right. Won't I cause pain to her with my curse knowing we can only be together for a duration and not all the time?" he had thought as he stared towards her. The last thing he wanted is to hurt someone's feelings with his troublesome problems. He hadn't found his mother to break this infernal curse and now he wasn't to be the only one to suffer because of this fault.
"I want to be with her, but not like this..." he had thought as he had sat on the rock with his mind troubled and his eyes digressing. He couldn't even admit his love, so why worry about that now, when the fact was that maybe in the future, there was no "them" when it came to his fate.

Saga stared up at the sky, and gave a soft, small yawn, watching her two spirits flit and flutter by in the steam, as if they were enjoying themselves in the steamy vapors of warm water. She smiled at the precious sight that they weren't bickering, yelling, arguing, ot otherwise irritating her for once.
She cast a sidelook towards Zen, seeing the odd expression on his face and crinkling her own in thought, wondering what he'd be thinking.

"Saga-san..." Xenneth had called to her as he stared at the vivid water. He had tilted his head as he seemed almost troubled by his swirling emotions still. It was a constant at times, but this was one of the first times that he ever though so deeply. He had stared at himself almost pathetically in some way. "Have you ever been in love with someone?" he had asked as he simply kept staring into the waters not being able to lift his head up and and face her after asking such a thing.
