Accidents and Unexpected Developments | Luke and Takashi
Takashi was seated at one of the platforms on the way up the stairs to the main diving platform, away from the crowd at the other parts of the pool center. He had seen some curious youkai who had attended the party, and while they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Takashi had decided that it would be better to distance himself from others, just to be on the safe side.
The Yuujinchou was strapped to a waterproof pouch around his waist, an odd fit on top of his board shorts with a short-sleeved hoodie covering it. Still, he felt safer carrying it with him than leaving it unattended in his dorm room.
A small sigh as he wondered where Nyanko-sensei was. Probably had his face buried wherever the food was. Sometimes, he wondered how seriously Nyanko-sensei took this whole bodyguard business. Perhaps he thought this area was safe?
Standing and dusting the seat of his shorts, Takashi decided it couldn't hurt to go and find some food. Before he could turn and head back down the stairs though, he felt a finger tap his shoulder, and he turned around to find a youkai, hair covering most of its face, smirking at him in a way that made his hair stand. Yelping from the shock of it, he stumbled backward and toppled over the railings with a yell.
Plunging towards the water, he saw the youkai looking down at him with a distraught expression on its face. Takashi was confused. Had it not intended to hurt him?
And then a sharp pain as the back of his head hit the surface of the water. He felt himself swallow a mouthful of water, and then everything went black.
