[i]'You five seem to have become more capable than the rest of us.'[/i] What the hell was that supposed to mean, really? Masato massaged the sides of his head as he mentally picked through everything that had happened, was happening, and what Maeda said while he tagged along with the water-fetching team.

It was true that something weird was happening. A lot of the students, including Hoshino and Kondo, claimed that Stewart had been disemboweled - and yet he hadn't been by the time Masato had rejoined the group. Plus his own wounds seemed to be healing much, much faster than they normally would. The skin of his back and legs felt tight as it knitted itself together, and they had already stopped bleeding. Was it the nature of the Otherside making this happen? If so, why did it only have effect on some of the students and not all of them? Had he been infected with something? Bacteria from the monsters claws, maybe?

[i]This really sucks,[/i] was all he could think on the matter at the moment.

The water-fetching team consisted of himself, Takehara, one of the Ito brothers ([i]The younger one... I think?[/i]) and Kanamori. It was possible that they would venture the farthest away from the others in their search, so for the greatest protection there were two of those "more capable" on this team. For Masato, it was the most useful thing he could think to do. Plus he was eager to wash himself off. This was one of the reasons he disagreed with Takehara's ground water plan, though he didn't say it aloud.

[color=B1E4FC]"If we were in a safer location, digging for water would be a good idea. But we're all tired and it'll take too long to get enough for everyone."[/color] Well, probably. He'd never dug a well before. But if they found a body of water that wasn't too far away, maybe they could move the entire group there. It went against his initial thoughts about staying put in case of emergency, but desperate times. 

His personal reason of preferring searching for a river had to be better than Kanamori's though. Masato shot the girl an incredulous look when she said she was more concerned with which option was more [i]fun.[/i] She mused out loud about what weird things she thought they might see while Ito Kunio started his way up a tree to listen for water, but when she mentioned finding more monsters.

[color=B1E4FC]"Stop,"[/color] he snapped at her. [color=B1E4FC]"There are five people really hurt because of those things and you want to find more? Kanamori, take this seriously."[/color] 

It was incredible how nonchalant she seemed about the whole situation, but Masato did not share in her whimsy whatsoever. He breathed in and let the air out in one aggressive puff through his nostrils.

[color=B1E4FC]"Come on, help me carry all the water bottles we can,"[/color] he told her, borrowing one of the backpacks that was still intact so that once Ito or Takehara pointed them in a direction they'd be all set to get going.
