Sen tried to follow me into the baths again yesterday... I hate it when he does that. It wouldn't bug me if maybe I could delude myself into thinking that he might want to spend some time with me for once, but that's not why he follows me. He follows me because he thinks that I might slip up sometime and he might get to see some naked female flesh. Nothing about me...just about seeing my friends and classmates without any clothing.
Well, I say tried, but really he succeeded. I had just gotten done with a rather rigorous set of exercises, and so I was more or less completely depleted. That was a good thing, but it also meant that I didn't have the resources to stop my lecherous brother from following me as I went to soak out the lingering physical pain. He knows better than anyone else when I can't muster sufficient power to do much of anything other than walk, and he's learned exactly the right timing to take advantage of that.
So, Sen managed to get inside of the baths yesterday. And it wouldn't have been a problem, if yesterday had been any other day. But, yesterday was one of those stupid days when the mothers decided to mix up the schedule and let everyone off early. My normal bathing time, a time when no one else would be in the secluded rooms so that I wouldn't get caught while washing off the day's exertion, became a time when the bathing rooms were full of girls, each and every one just as naked as Sen was hoping. Unfortunately, this wasn't something that I realized, in my drained state, until after I was already undressed and preparing to step into the outer edges of the water.
I was already in the water when I heard the girls' voices coming from just the other side of the first protective screens. And, before I could make my escape, two of the girls decided to make their way around the screens, to get out of the baths. I was forced to sink down into the water to the point where the girls wouldn't be able to see more than just my head, because otherwise they would have easily figured out the secret I had been hiding from them ever since I joined their ranks, and that would have been a very bad thing. But, because of that I couldn't really go and try to snag the quickly retreating form of Sen, who had realized long before I had that there were females just on the other side of the screens. I had to be content knowing that at least none of the girls would be able to see him as he made his way into the baths, so there wouldn't be the cry of "man!" to make my situation even worse.
I just sat there, mumbling something vague in greeting to the two girls who cheerfully hailed me as they stood up from the water. They gave me strange looks, but mostly ignored me as they wrapped a pair of dry towels around their dripping bodies and exited the room. And I continued to wait, hoping that I would have the chance to make a dash for the exit once they were out of sight, before any other girls could come out from behind the screen.
But, that was all interrupted as Sen shot back around the screen into the beginning pool where I was, face drained of all color (even more than normal) and a look of sheer panic plastered across his face. "Gaaaaaaah!!!" he screamed, and again I was glad that I was the only one who could hear or see him. "Help!"
The girls were just far enough away that they wouldn't really hear me if I responded...so I did just that. "What happened?" I asked, trying to keep as quiet as I possibly could in case one of the girls happened to have heightened hearing.
"It's...it's...!" he stammered, but didn't manage to get it out. He just kept looking behind him, and I saw the waters swirl behind him.
And then Kaila stepped out from behind the screen. Two hundred and fifty pounds of quite mature female...and completely and utterly naked. She couldn't see Sen, and even if she could, she couldn't touch him, which was probably a good thing. She wouldn't have liked to know that he had seen her naked, and I happened to know for a fact that she was stronger than most of the men in the guard, including Father.
"Hey, Jen," she said to me as she made her way out of the baths. I waved back, smiling at the expression of horror on Sen's face as she stepped out of the water. And then, when she was gone, I turned to my brother with a huge smirk on my face.
"She's not really that bad, you know," I commented, but he just glared at me.
