Treehouse.
Deep in the forest there's a huge treehouse that someone build and abandoned, for some reason. It's seriously like the Swiss Family Robinson's house. There's planks of wood nailed to a tree that you can use to get into the main portion, but it's quite a ways up so be careful. If you're more agile, you can simply use the large branches of the tree like stairs and make it up that way instead.
The main portion has closed walls and a wrap around balcony with railing, and a pretty well built and water proof ceiling. Other parts branch off with wooden bridges connecting them, or sometimes just a zip line. The other "rooms" are smaller, but also with thick walls and well built ceilings. There's a rope hanging down off of one deck like portion that you can use to swing into a lake that the house is leaning over. Or, you could simply dive off the deck.
At the top of the main building is a smaller building, almost like a watch tower. It's a little difficult to get to though. There's no real clear way to reach.

"It's not far," Kira replied, slightly amused at how childish he was acting. Though, she felt a little childish as well. She decided already that she didn't mind. It was fun to act that way every now and then. Pretty soon, they'd entered the woods and she was leading the way along a poorly made path, which she'd actually made herself. All she'd done was break a few branches that would've gotten in the way, and pulled up any thorn bushes that they would've had to step through otherwise. And suddenly she broke out of the trees, and was standing at the edge of a large lake. About ten feet to her left was a very large tree. Like, massively huge. Sitting in the branches were at least four different structures; one large house, two smaller ones, and one deck that overhung the lake. "We're here~" Kira announced in a sing-song voice.

Kazu stepped out into the clearing and saw only the trunk of a tree and the lake at first, it looked pretty good out in the wilderness or some nonsense like that but he couldn't help but like it. "Well this seems like a nice place.........whats the catch? Storms of death bees or something?" He asked as his eyes drifted around the area and up the large tree and looked at the structures that seemed perfectly balanced on its branches.
"Who built that place? It must have taken a long a** time I bet." Kazu said walking over towards the lake to look in it. He was feeling a bit hot from the weather and the clothes he had on even though they were short. He guessed that from the deck of the tree house hanging over the lake meant it was swim able. Kazu thought for a moment and sat down starting to untie his bots and take off his shirt and pants. He stood up stretching in only his black boxers with smiley faces on them revealing all that was under his shirt, the scars and the tattoos and whatever else was there that he probably did not remember.
Kazu jumped into the lake and swam under as far as he could before surfacing to look at Kira.

Kira wrinkled her nose as she watched him. "There doesn't always have to be a catch. Just be glad I found it." She was relieved though, to hear him say it was nice. That meant he liked it, right? She would have hated to have dragged him out here and find that he truly did hate it. That wouldn't do at all. She didn't see how anyone could hate it though. Not seriously. It was way too cool. She just shrugged at his next question. "I have no idea who built it. But yeah, it must've-"
She cut off abrputly. Not because Kazu had stripped down to his boxers, but because of the various scars spread along his skin. She stared, frozen for a second, mouth partly open because she'd been in mid sentence. "Hey, are you o...?" she began, but again trailed off, this time because he'd jumped into the water.
She rocked lightly in place, not sure whether to approach or stay back. In the end, she crept up to the edge of the water and crouched there, peering back at him in silence for a moment. He seemed to be in a kind of good mood, for once. Asking would probably ruin it. So, for now she'd refrain. She guessed she could always ask later. Maybe she'd get lucky and he'd bring it up himself? Maybe... She hated to think of what those scars had come from though... But for now the thought was pushed away, along with her worry and questions. She just smiled, ears perked and tail flicking slowly. "How's the water?"

"Its great!" Kazu answered laying backwards into the water and staring off into the sky before going under again. It did feel good for him, he had not had as much fun since he was probably a small child, it made him feel more alive than staying hidden away in darkness. The water felt great against his skin, he felt as if there was nothing else around him to trouble him.
He resurfaced after what seemed like forever, even he was amazed at himself begin able to hold his breath for so long. It must have been because he was not even thinking about breathing that it sort of did not exist for that small period of time. He splashed his hand into the water sending a wave at Kira unexpectedly. She was the only one there so she might as well join in his fun.
"Coming or what?" Kazu said floating around and looking at her, he felt a few small fish swim past his feet which made him feel like smiling but he tried his best not to. "C'mon.....don't just stand there."

Kira watched him, the smile growing larger for a moment, then slightly absent. Her thoughts kept wandering back to the scars, but he was definitely having fun now, and she did not wish to ruin it. He was always so grumpy! No, she'd let him have his fun, for now. She sighed to herself, then squealed suddenly in alarm when he splashed her. She fell over backwards, frantically wiping off her face. "...I don't like water," she pouted.
But watching him, she couldn't help giving in, even without much insisting. She knew how to swim. She just didn't enjoy it all that much. But, maybe it wouldn't be so bad this time... She carefully removed the headphones from her human ears and set them on the ground, soon after slipping off her pants and shirt, leaving herself in simply a bra and panties. She ignored this, not allowing herself to be bothered by it, but it was a little difficult. She'd never done this before. But, it was kind of like a bikini... right? There were still the faintest traces of a blush across her cheeks though. She frowned to herself, then stood and walked over towards the water, ears flattened back uncertainly before she suddenly dove in, head first, and popped up again a minute later. She shuddered, a grimace upon her lips. "...I'm wet," she sulked, treading water to stay afloat.

Kazu laughed slightly and swam back a bit away from her as she undressed to get in. It was too good of a day to pass up a swim in a secluded lake. For a moment he was trying to lightly kick some of the fish that swam around him but they were too quick and got away before he could. When Kira surfaced he looked at her and laughed at her comment. "That is usually what happens when you get in water." He said with a laugh. "You'd have to admit though, it is pretty good in here, don't lie."
He guess that she felt a bit uncomfortable being half naked in a lake with some stranger that looked about as messed up as he was on the inside. Who wouldn't feel that way? Though eh had no problem with it, he had nothing physical to hide. It was there for some purpose and so he just let it be int he way it was, besides the few added things that he had done to himself. And the rest that he had asked to be done to cover up certain things. Kazu splashed at her again.

"Feeh..." Kira muttered, tugging at one of her cat ears. They were drooping now, in an almost defeated way, and beneath the water, her tail had curled around her waist. But she had to admit, she liked to hear him laugh. So after a second, she smiled lightly at him, nodding her head. "It is pretty nice," she agreed. She hadn't swam in a long time. Well, unless you counted the time she'd gone to the beach at Ria, and someone had shoved her in. That had sucked.
She squeezed her eyes shut when he splashed her again, quickly turning around so her back was to him. "St-stop it!" she protested, covering her head. But this served to make her bob under the water, and she came up sputtering. "Ugh, damn it!" Yes, she knew how to swim, but it wasn't a strong point because she rarely was talked into doing it. She splashed water towards him, but didn't turn around to see if she'd hit.

Kazu just floated around snickering at her complaints. He was having fun for once in a long time, who knows days, months, years. Ahh well all he knew was it had been a long time since he really enjoyed himself, and with a stranger too made it the worth while, probably freaking them out. "It's just water it wont kill you," Kazu said. " unless you drown." He added and laughed.
He went under when she started splashing at him and made his way in an under watter arch getting right under her. He was going to have some fun messing with her he thought smirking under watter and grabbing her ankle and tugging lightly at first. He let go and laughed to himself trying to keep from drowning at the same time. He did it once more, a bit harder the second time and swimming away. He went up to get a breath in the area she was most likely not looking in and went back to pull her under.

Kira froze for a second, eyes widening. She suddenly looked alarmed, and it was the fault of his comment. "N-no way! I won't drown!" But she definitely seemed alarmed now. She glanced down, her mind already running off on what type of creature may be below her. It seemed like no one had been here in years. What if they'd all been eaten by something living in this lake? No, no, she assured herself. That's stupi-
But her thoughts cut off as something grabbed her ankle. She screamed, unable to help herself. But the tug wasn't enough to pull her under, and as she looked around wildly, she saw Kazu wasn't in sight. Her eyes suddenly narrowed into a glare. She kicked her foot, but he'd already let go. But as she tried to swim away, he tugged again. "Stop it!" she shouted. "What the hell are you-" And then she was under, the last jerk easily making her submerge. She growled, a stream of bubbles blowing upwards from her mouth as her eyes locked upon him.

Kazu surfaces laughing at Kira he almost drowned himself while doing so. "The look on your face was just priceless" Kazu said laughing so hard a few tears streamed down his cheek from it. That was obviously a first for him, laughing until he cried,he could not control ti but it felt good. Kazu trudged himself up so he wouldn't drown while laughing and swam towards shore to get out. It was pretty mean what he did but he could not help but laugh, it was hilarious to him the look she gave and how freaked out she was.
"C'mon you have to admit, I got you good." Kazu said to her pulling himself up next to his boots and sitting down in his wet boxers looking at her. Good thing it was a nice warm day because it would suck to get out of the water and have a cool breeze await you. He did not have anything to dry himself with so he just lay there in the small spots of sun that poked through the trees.

Kira just glared at him, pausing to close her eyes and wipe her face once she'd resurface. Then she went right back to glaring. It wasn't funny. Not to her. She already hated water. He should be glad he'd gotten her in at all. He hadn't needed to do that as well! "Stupid," she muttered under her breath, watching as he climbed out of the water. She hesitated, then slowly made her way towards the edge as well.
She climbed up a short distance away from Kazu, just staring levely at him, still upset. Her tail curled around her waist, arms crossing self consciously over her chest and stomach. She was clad in her underwear but she still felt very... exposed. She sighed, ears drooping slighlty as she sat down beside him, fixing him with a sidelong glare before suddenly reaching out, tapping one of the scars with a clawed finger. "To make up for just now," she muttered, referring to his grabbing her. "What's that from?"

Kazu ignored her for a moment as she came back towards him. He knew it was a bit mean, but it was funny and he couldn't help but laugh some more.
"I'm sorry but I thought that was just so funny." He said with a laugh and rubbed his eyes and put his fore arm over them to shield from the spots of sunlight.
"What's what from?" Kazu asked sitting up and looking at her and scratching neck and moving his hand up to messing up his hair to take out some of the water to keep it from sticking to his head which he hated. "You need to me more specific if your asking a question, its not like I'm a mind reader." Kazu said looking at her after most of his hair was sticking up randomly on his head.

Kira just frowned at him, shaking her head. It wasn't funny, no way. Yet, in the back of her mind, so far back it almost wasn't there at all, she guessed it probably had been a bit funny... Not to her though. Not at all. She sighed, then scooted a bit closer to him.
"That," she murmured, this time not just pointing, but actually touching one of the scars on his chest. She tapped it lightly with her finger, then peered up at his face. Suddenly she didn't look angry. She looked uncertain. She didn't know what it was from. For all she knew, it was some random accident. But he seemed to have a lot. They all couldn't be accidents, could they? She sighed almost silently, ears drooping as she waited patiently for a reply.

Kazu stood there silent when she touched him for a moment, feeling her warmth on his own cold skin. "An accident." He replied lying to her, was he just to come out blandly and say that he had done it to himself for some reason or another. Of course not, who in their right mind would do that. No one, they always keep their problems to themselves, the people that scar themselves for some reason. Their depression, their anger, just any reason to let them harm themselves to make it all feel better. Would she think less of him if he told her the truth, of course. He knew it was not a good thing to do but he did anyways, from when he first started he was hooked and just could not stop. It was like a drug to him now, he had to do it just to go on. "I was in a motorcycle accident." He added now telling truth, he had been in a motorcycle accident some time ago before coming to Ria, it had scarred mostly his back and right side. But the ones around his chest were of his own doing.
