"Kyuuibi-san..." Even though I spoke quietly, he heard me.
When he turned around and said, "Yes? You need anything? Is everything fine?"
I was about to explain everything, when Alistar suddenly said-- no, shouted is more appropriate-- "HEY!! Dutch! Kyuuibi!"
I hung my head, knowing there was a waterfall of questions coming. "couldn't you have kept your mouth shut a while longer?" I moaned.
"Nope."
"Who is this?" Dutch demanded, "And how does he know our names?"
I opened my mouth to speak, but again, he cut in. "Oh, I accidentally attacked Kokoro. I was in this cave earlier, and thought she was something else." Jeez, did he have to take this so frickin lightly?! It was getting on my nerves!
I think I might of started to hyperventilate, or maybe forgot to breathe. I was starting to get lightheaded. Ugh. Not again. "Uh, maybe we should go back to the hotel?" The tone in my voice made it sound like a question, but Dutch shot out of the cave the moment I suggested it. Great.
I saw a bat out of the corner of my eye. Not just one bat, but an entire colony. A lighter spot distracted me, and I saw a little baby bat with its mother and father. It reminded me of how I got my name... No. this was no time for flashbacks. Focusing again, I tried to make myself look as calm as possible... Without success.
