Mission: Escape from Sakamoto Jimbe

Rachel spat out water and felt herself shivering from being wet. Her eyes holding Tear in them as she moved Ise hand with her own mind. Indicating that Ina Ise consciousness is gone and that she is now the owner of this body.

Her Kimono was heavy due to being soaked in water. She saw the flash of red on her left hand before noticing that a hand was clamped down on her shoulder like an iron vise. While another hand was on her Kimono, it was a very warm and familiar hand.

Rachel warmed at her own thoughts 'why was this so familiar'

Rachel looked down at her rescuer, his arm around her waist and his heart racing against her shoulder blades. Chest heaving with shallow gasps like her own.

"I see after I fell. He must of dove in the water and climbed back up with his own strength.' Rachel thought half-conscious with her nerves in enough shock, bringing her to a near faint. 'Carrying me princess style, huh?'

Rachel held up her dazed head and looked into the fine features of the dark-skinned foreigner. His hair was dark and his eyes were the color of mulberry leaves. He smelled like cassia....Rachel couldn't help but smile 'Kevin also smelled like Cassia'

"Are you hurt?" he asked his voice husky and soft just like a whisper.

'Goodness, he even sounds like him to.' Rachel thought to make her somber to her current situation. "No, I am alright," Rachel said before suggesting to tell him, to let her down.

"It was my pleasure" His sudden smile made Rachel lose a bit of her focus as she flushed and then turned away after he let her down.

"Thank the Moon, Thank the Moon that you were alright," Jimbe said with a concerned smile that was easily seen through by both Rachel and the boy. Jimbe put his arms around Rachel making her stiffen.

Jimbe's awkward embrace was over.

"Ise are you well, Are you alright"

"I'm am very well," Rachel said with Ise's voice and smile as if nothing ever happened in the first place.

"I owe you a debt that I can never repay, honored guest. I do not know your name, but please, you must allow me to thank you properly" Jimbe said to the her rescuer, holding out his hand.

Rachel stared into the boy's eyes for a moment 'Sure enough he must have seen it'. The boys eyes where cold as he spoke with a hint of disgust in his voice.
