The Spirit in the Bath House
There was something wrong at a Bath House. She knew it in her gut and with every fiber of her being. There were problems with this though.

Problems with her being a girl so she couldn't sneak around as easily. It was more noticeable if a girl was sneaking around a bath house instead of a guy.

The good thing was she was done with school for a few weeks so she could focus her attention on this case.

Bad new. She had to do something and nudity was involved. The obvious answer was to bring Sempai along for this little adventure so she could just deal with it. And politely ignore all nudity because this was business and not er, pleasure.

Because she knew she had to find that spirit and deal with it. She just needed help dealing with the sneaking. Besides the fact that Kayura had started to get used to having back up and a second set of eyes was always good especially since she was a bit mentally drained for detecting stuff out of her armor due to her finals turning from easy to stressful so she knew she needed the help too.

Good thing Sempai is awesome.

	"Interesting. No one has died, so its likely not a violent spirit... but there's plenty of other dangers and kinds of trouble. I wonder what happened here that might have raised a ghost... or ghosts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmm. I've picked up hints of.... mischief?" She frowns slightly. "But it could just be from what I've heard and observed so far." She settles back to try and relax. "For now all we can do it wait I think Sempai." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Things going missing too," she adds. "Clothing. Books sometimes. Also.... a sense of being watched?" She purses her lips. "I get the sense there's something else they didn't mention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very likely. Its quiet... it would be peaceful if not for that sense of... something being off. I do think something is watching, yes. Do you know anything about the history of this place?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know for the past six generations the property has been owned by the same family." She looks thoughtful. "I think I read something about it being won because they've always been good at gambling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, considering that. "Related to a debt, perhaps? Have you run into something of that nature before?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmm. The first ghost my father had me help with because it was um.... 'safe', was a elderly banker who was obsessed with paying off all his debts but his last bills had gotten lost." She's smiling a bit now at the memory. "Maybe this is just as harmless." Except.... was that a hand? She blinks then decides no that wasn't she must still be tired. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine." She shakes her head. "I must be tired from my finals still. I wasn't getting much sleep at all last week." And there it is again. Another.... poke? How weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He eyes her curiously, glancing down a bit when she shifts, not seeming to at all mind her nudity in these circumstances. "Or something to do with the springs, perhaps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-12-15 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Yeah it's less weird. Also she's just happy this time she can see. There's another awkward moment for her and she almost jumps. "There's something in here." And it's a pervert! Or at least acting like one. She's not going to say that out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-12-15 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"I have not noticed anything. Are you certain?" he asks, noticing her shifting a bit in the near jump. "Ah... I see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-12-15 05:49 am UTC (link)
	Yeah getting her ass grabbed wasn't leaving her very happy. And she couldn't stop herself from blushing now that it was brought up. "Yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-12-15 05:52 am UTC (link)
	She has a nice one, well worth grabbing. He blinks, then shakes off the thought. That was... odd. "Invisible, and... who knows what other powers. And your armor is not appearing, so likely no serious danger, but..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-12-15 05:58 am UTC (link)
	"It's still embarrassing. I know it's near by but..." And it looks like some unseen force has just knocked her glasses off. Kayura stops and huffs out loud. "Whatever it is, it is beginning to annoy me just a little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He crouches down in the water in front of her, trying to help search for her glasses, at least able to see better than she can. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-12-15 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Whats odd is the glasses seem to get pulled away slowly. And something lightly smacks Hajime's bottom as that happens. This ghost doesn't exactly discriminate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He frowns, stiffening for a moment. That is definitely not proper in a bathhouse. But an idea occurs to him. Taking his wrapped sword in one hand, he reaches back, intending to take Kayrua's hand. Whether its the ghost's interference, some oddity of this place, or random chance, that's not at all where his hand settles... but once he figures it out, he looks at her, trying to take her hand.

"Its taking your glasses. We should follow and see where it leads."

	No not her hand but despite the way her face colors slightly she pretty much ignores that mishap. This time she grabs his hand just to make sure. "If you say so." She squints. "I just hope they don't get damaged. They're rather new." She hates having to replace her glasses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-12-15 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	He leads her along, seeing where the glasses are going to get taken to. Perhaps there's a hoard of important things that might give them some clue. Normally, leading her along wouldn't bother him - but something about the place causes him to keep needing to push off images of just how close, and how naked she is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The glasses get pulled along past a divider into another part of the bath house that's still in the water. There's little more than a nice thin wall and a gate between the two areas. And one should not point out on top of her being nude she is also wet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yeah... there's wet, too. Which is usually a perfectly ok time for women to be naked, and it wouldn't bother him. And yet... this place definitely has a certain spiritual influence about it.

He helps her over the divider, trying not to misplace his hands too much, before going over himself, trying to be quick enough to not lose the glasses, and with them, the trail.

	Thankfully Kayura is none the wiser to the influences of this place. She is though glad she has gotten more nimble since she began training with Hajime. Before doing this without her glasses on would have been so much more difficult. "This is stating to make some kind of sense," Kayura mutters thoughtfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-12-18 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	He can focus that much, certainly. "What are you figuring out? Without your glasses, you may end up guiding me through part of the process of clearing this place." (Reply to this)(Parent)
