No words can describe how sorry I am for not updating for a long time. I've been busy with college and I've just started living on my own, so I'm still learning to cope (I've only got the cat for company now :'( I've started doing a one shot collection one of my favourite pairings, this was because I have been suffering writer's block recently.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the power rangers
This is set between episodes 3 and 4 of Ninja Storm
So this is where the Rangers hide out is...It's nothing but woods.
Hunter's patience was starting to wear thin.
"Grrrr where the hell is their stupid base" Hunter growled hitting his fist against a tree
Hunter let out a breath what was I thinking I should have taken Blake's job instead
(Flashback)
"Right I'll pinpoint the Rangers base and you could go get everything set up for the rest of the plan" Blake said to his brother
"Wait a minute why do I get the boring job and you get all of the fun" asked Hunter
"I think I should do it since after all I am the oldest" and he flashed a smirk at his younger brother
Blake just rolled his eyes and said fine
(End Flashback)
I've been looking for hours Blake's probably finished by now
"Maybe I should head back and try again tomorrow" he grumbled
Suddenly he saw movement from the corner of his eye
He looked to see someone heading towards a clearing he passed earlier
Now what do we have here Hunter had a gleam in his eyes and a smirk on his face thinking that he finally found one of the Rangers
He followed his prey quietly to find something else, only for his smirk to disappear
Okay not a ranger well there goes my fun, it's just some guy
The guy started to look around as if looking for something
As soon as Hunter saw his face another smirk came up.
Okay, he looks kinda interesting I think maybe I'll say hi
Hunter waited a couple more minutes for the guy to settle down, which he did by sitting down and resting his back against a tree
Hunter jumped out of the tree he was in and rangered(? *1) down so that he was wearing his civilian clothes. And he raked a hand through his hair to mess it up a bit.
As Hunter got closer to his target, he started to see more of the guys features
Hmmm black hair, tan skin, he looks Asian to me. Can't see much of his build though, clothes are a bit big on him.
Hunter came up with the most perfect and elaborate greeting in the entire universe
"Hey there"
Or not
Hunter's target jumped and turned around to look at him
As soon as seeing the shocked look, Hunter raised his hands up in a back down position
"Hey calm down I'm not going to hurt you" he said with a fake look of fear
"Who are you and what are you doing here" the guy asked Hunter
Wow somebody's jumpy
A lie already started rolling off Hunter's tongue
"Some of my friends left me here as a joke and I've winded up lost, what about you? Whats someone like you doing in the middle of nowhere?" Hunter questioned
The guy looked weary at him, like he didn't believe him
"What kind of joke is it to leave someone in the woods" he said with such scepticism
The corners of Hunters mouth frowned slightly, at the thought that his 'prey' could see right through his story
Quickly he made a cover up
"Yeah well I guess you could say we aren't exactly best buds of the year. They were pretty pissed at me all week. But hey! Didn't I ask you a question first!"
"It's none of your business" the guy snapped at him
A few moments passed until the guy suddenly sighed
"Sorry I didn't mean to snap, I've just had a rough day" he said
Hunter flashed a 'fake' reassuring smile
"Hey no problem. Looks to me like we've both had rough days. The names Hunter by the way" and he held his hand out
the guy hesitated before shaking it
"Cam"
Hunter smiled. Cam huh? Nice name
"So you never answered my question earlier. You get lost too?" Hunter treaded his words carefully in case Cam decided to go on to the defensive again
Cam looked at him carefully before answering "I like taking a walk here, helps to clear my head"
Hunter nodded that's pretty reasonable
Hunter flashed Cam a sheepish smile "you don't mind if I join you do ya. Better to stick to someone else rather than get further lost"
Cam had a thoughtful look before replying
"I don't really care, but just so you know the road is about 10mins west of here"
Hunter sat down against the tree before Cam even finished what he was saying
When he saw Cam was still standing he nodded down next to him, after brief hesitation Cam relented and sat, but still keeping a bit of a distance from Hunter.
After minutes of awkward silence, Cam (surprisingly) spoke up
"So what brings you and your friends to the woods?"
Hunter stayed silent for a bit thinking of an answer
"Me, my friends and brother were taking a road trip, heard there was a motocross race and my bro and I decided to join. He stayed to sign us up, and the rest of us went to take a hike. And you know the rest"
Cam smirked a little; Hunter couldn't tell whether it was from amusement or something else.
He's kinda cute in a non sort-a-romantic-way of course Hunter thought
"So what caused you to come to the woods by yourself" Hunter questioned
As soon as Cam's face turned into a scowl Hunter backtracked
"Hey don't tell me if you don't want too"
The awkward silence returned
"I had a disagreement with my dad"
Hunter started slightly (but luckily not noticeable) as he was not expecting an answer
He looked at Cam and was startled at seeing disconcerting look in his eyes
a slight twinge was tugging at his gut, but Hunter barely noticed it. And it was quickly replaced with a bit of anger towards Cam
you should consider yourself lucky he thought vehemently
Hunter put up a look if false concern as he said
"Hope you're not in trouble or anything. I hope you sort it out"
Cam mumbled so quietly that Hunter couldn't hear what he was saying
"Excuse me"
"It's nothing" Cam said a little too quickly. He suddenly got up and took a few steps forward
"I should get going, it's getting late"
Hunter looked at the sky and realised just how late it was
Blake is gonna kill me
He was busy in his thoughts that he didn't hear Cam talking to him
"Huh what you say again?"
Cam looked at him with a look of slight annoyance but it seemed to soften a bit
"I asked if you wanted me to go to the road with you" he said
Hunter shook his head as he got up himself
"It's fine, don't want to keep your family waiting"
Cam shrugged turning away and started to walk away
Hunter didn't know what possessed him but he just grabbed Cam's wrist
He dimly noticed Cam tensing up immediately at the sudden touch. As words just flew out of his mouth
"Hey you come here often right?"
Cam was still in his surprised daze and only nodded
"Then maybe we could meet up here again" it was like Hunter had no control over his voice and the words just came out
"Uh s-sure I guess" stammered Cam
"Great see ya around then" and with that Hunter walked away
Hunter gave a small smile as he heard Cam say "sure". He still didn't know why he did but for some reason he was glad, and couldn't wait till that 'next time'.
And he wasn't the only one either
I am not sure if I got the personalities right, it's been a VERY long time since I watched the Power Rangers, so if anyone can give me advice that would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you enjoyed and please leave a review!
