Snippet #2236818

Kai noticed a soft blush warming her cheeks and he bit the inside of his lip. He loved the way girls blushed, especially when they clearly didn't want to. She finally stood up and put her hands on her hips. "Fine. I'll go with you if it means that you'll stop bothering me," the girl said, although the last part wasn't as convincing as her stony face was letting on. Kai smiled and his dimples showed. "And my name's not 'red' it's Takashi," she concluded and began walking towards him.

"Well, then, Takashi-not-Red, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, and mock bowed to her, before turning to face the forest. Kai kept pace with her, although he was itching to run or jump or do something. His ADHD was kicking in, and he was about to go into hyper mode, especially since Takashi had said yes. He never takes his medicine for it. He never has, and never plans on it. He says he likes the world he sees it. Wild and changing. He wants to be forced to look around, and he wants the most important things to catch his eye, not everything, because that way, they would lose their specialness. Finally they made it to the forest and he scanned the brush, looking for a specific tree. He was mumbling something about a stick, an anthill and a green leaf. There were sticks and anthills everywhere, not to mention the fact that everything single leaf was green. "Here it is!" he says excitedly and pulls back a branch. "I would say ladies first, but I think it's best I lead the way," he said, giving her a small smile.

After several minutes or weaving through the branches and brush, Kai slowed down a bit. "I guess I exaggerated a little. It's not exactly a straight shot, nor is it a trail, but we are almost there," he hoped she wouldn't be mad. To him, it was a trail because he climbed it so many times. He made sure to mix it up a bit, maybe go 5 feet to the left of what he did last time, so people wouldn't follow it. He didn't want anyone finding his secret spot. The minutes past quickly as Kai steadily made his way through the rocky terrain. The trees were thinning out some, although it was dense behind them. He knew they were close now. "Okay, it get's pretty steep here," he said. They finally made it to the base of a rocky hill and he looked up. "Come on!" He couldn't wait for her to see it. He grabbed her hand and easily hoisted her up after him. Soon, they stood upon a hill, overlooking what Kai thought to be the creates thing. Down below, maybe 30 to 40 feet was a crystal clear pool of water, and on the other side was a small water fall filling it up. There was another stony wall and atop that was more trees. Kai saw it as a wonderland. The water was nice and cool, and deep too. He loved to climb the rocks, then dive deep into the blue waters. He imagines the water fall to be much larger than just 12 feet across and dreams up all sorts of things about the valley. there are some crevices formed in the rocks behind the falls that he likes to hide in as well. He doesn't know how the valley formed, but he knows it wasn't always there. There was a small rock shelter down below that looked to be occupied. It was Kai's belongings of course. Kai's brown eyes were lit up like a child's might be on Christmas day. To Takashi, this just might seem like a little pool trickling into some creeks, that keeps getting filled by the same river water from an unimpressive waterfall. However at night, no one could deny the beauty of the moon reflecting on the pale blue water. It takes Kai's breath away every time he sees it. He let's out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. "What do you think?" He asked, and began to descend the less deep hill.
