Kai led the others through the forest. Like Tyson had said, no adults were coming with them! The park rangers had told them all the rules to follow and told them where all the best camping spots were. Hilary liked the two park rangers. The woman was very friendly and the man was funny.

'How much longer Kai?' Tyson groaned. 'We've been walking for hours!'

'This camping trip was your idea,' Kai said glancing back, 'Go back if you want.'

'Try and enjoy yourselves guys!' said Max.

'Yeah, take a look aroud!' said Hilary, 'Isn't this place just beautiful?'

Kai looked around.

'Hn.'

'You like it don't ya!' Hilary said happily to him.

Kai glanced back at her, but there was no glare or no cold aura, it was just a regular glance. Hilary blushed slightly and looked around. The trees that surrounded them were bushy and healthy. The sun arrowed through the breaks in foliage and kissed upon the surface of the ground. It trully was a beautiful place. They came to a small opening. They all heard the crackle of a small stream nearby.

'Where here,' said Kai.

They others all cheered and put down their bags. Ray flexed his arms and back. Max and Hilary sat on the floor leaning against their bags. Kenny, Tyson and Daichi collapsed on theirs. Kai remained standing with his bag at his feet.

'On your feet, the tents have to go up.' he said.

The others groaned. Ray agreed.

'Come on guys! If we don't do it while theirs still light we might have to do it in the dark.' he said.

'But...' Daichi started.

Kai cut him off. He smirked. 'You call this a championship beyblading team? Huh, this is a pathetic drabble of lazy asses.'

'Hey!' said Tyson and Daichi indignantly.

Kai had hit them where it hurt, in their pride. Hilary, Max, Kenny and Ray watched in amusement. Kai always knew exactly what to say to get Tyson and Daichi working. He looked down upon the navy and red haired boys. Tyson and Daichi threw open their tent bag and pulled out the tent they'd be sharing.

'Let's show him Daichi!' said Tyson pulling out the tent poles.

'No one disrespects us!' said Daichi, 'We're world champions!'

Kai smirked then went to his own tent bag. Max and Ray pulled out the tent that were going to be sharing. Kenny had brought his own. Kai and Hilary both had seperate tents to themsleves. Hilary because she was a girl and Kai because he wasn't really one for sharing.

'Who wants to go to the creek to get some water with me later?' asked Hilary cheerfully.

'I'll go,' said Ray politely.

Hilary unzipped her bag and pulled out the tent poles.

I just hope I'll be able to put this contraption up before it's too dark! Hilary thought.

----

Tyson, Daichi, Kenny and Kai had finished their tents. Ray and Max were almost finished. Hilary was having some trouble. She was inside the tent frame trying to get it to stand up properly but to no avail. She felt like just giving upwhen she felt someone behind her take the frame and push it up, fixing it into place Hilary turned her head around and saw Kai standing right behind her, his body brushing against her back. She felt her cheeks go red immediately.

'Kai! Oh um... thank you...' she said sheepishly, lowering her face and letting her hair fall over it so Kai wouldn't see her blushing.

Kai noticed the redness in her cheeks, as did the other boys.

'Ooooh,' Daichi and Tyson jeered together, 'Hilary's gone all red! Kai and Hil-a-ry, sittin in a tree...'

'Oh my god!' Hilary muttered in mortification. Her face went almost cherry red.

Kai looked at her then shot an icy glare at Tyson and Daichi.

'Keep singing...' he said murderously, 'I dare you!'

Tyson and Daichi both shut up fearfully.

'S-sorry Hil!' stammered Tyson.

'Y-y-yeah! We didn't m-mean it!' added Daichi.

Hilary continued looking at the ground, completely embarrassed. Kai felt sorry for her.

'Ray!' he called.

Ray looked over. He and Max had just finished their tent.

'Take Hilary and go get some water.' Kai said.

'Sure,' Ray replied, 'Come on Hilary.'

Hilary kept her face hidden and followed Ray to the creek. Kai watched them leave then rounded on Tyson and Daichi. They held eachother fearfully. Max and Kenny sat down together smiling.

----

It wasn't long before Ray and Hilary found the stream. It was very shallow, around only a foot deap and a metre and a half wide. Hilary kneeled at the edge and splashed some water on her face. Ray looked down at her and smiled.

'Don't worry about Tyson and Daichi,' he said. 'I think it's great you and Kai like eachother.'

Hilary looked up at him.

'Is it that obvious?' she asked fearfully. 'That I like him?'

'It was a moment ago,' said Ray, 'But besides just then, no not really.'

Hilary buried her face in her hands.

'Ugh! He probably thinks I'm a complete idiot!'

'I don't think so,' said Ray sitting beside her, 'He seemed pretty mad at the other two when they teased you. And if he thought you were an idiot, I'm pretty sure he'd say it!'

Hilary smiled weakly. Ray took the canteen and began to fill it with fresh crystal water until it was full. He screwed the lid back on tightly and stood up.

'Let's get back,' he said offering his hand out to her.

Hilary shook her head.

'I think I'll stay here a little longer,'

Ray nodded and smiled then walked off through the forest back towards camp. Hilary sighed. What a fun camp so far... She looked into the trickling, crackling water splashing over smooth pebbles and rocks. She was completely unaware that some one was watching her. She stood up and turned to go back to camp. She took a few steps then heard a twig snap behind her. She turned around quickly but saw no one there. A small chill went up her spine then she walked faster back towards camp.

----

When Hilary returned to the camp site, she was immediately greeted by Tyson and Daichi. They both bowed on their hands and knees infront of her. Hilary was completely taken aback.

'We're really really sorry about before Hil!' said Tyson.

'Please forgive us!' Daichi pleaded.

'Umm.. okay...' she said confused.

Tyson and Daichi breathed a sigh of relief. Max, Ray and Kenny were all watching and laughing. Tyson and Daichi looked over at Kai who was sitting against a tree with his hands behind his head. After seeing Tyson and Daichi apologise, he grunted then closed his eyes. Hilary sat beside Ray.

'What was all that about?' she asked the raven haired blader. Ray smiled.

'Let's just say Kai persuaded the to apologise properly. Oh and he also fixed your tent up or you.'

Hilary looked over at her tent then Kai and smiled. A dark figure conceiled within a tree also smiled at the sight of its new victims.

----

It was very late at night. The full moon reached its peek in the dark blue sky and shon down on six teens all sat around a campfire toasting marshmellows. Hilary pulled her cooked marshmellows out of the fire and laughed along with her friends. Before she took a bite she looked around and noticed some one was missing.

'Hey, where's Kai?' she asked.

The others all looked around but couldn't see the slate haired teen.

'He's over there,' said Ray pointing at a tree on the outskirts of the fires light.

They saw Kai sitting under a tree. Hilary was a bit hesitant about going over to him but finally decided she didn't care what the others thought. She stood up and went over to Kai with her untoughed marshmellows still on the stick in her hands. Kai heard her approach and opened his eyes as she sat down beside him.

'You know, it's alot warmer over near the fire,' she said.

Kai didn't reply. He looked up at the clear sky.

'Here,' he heard Hilary say.

He looked over to her. She was holding out a stick with four golden brown marshmellows on it. She smiled and urged him to take it. Kai accepted it.

'Um... thanks,' he muttered.

Hilary smiled as he bit into the soft warm confectionary. Almost twenty minutes passed until Max, Ray and Kenny disappeared into their tents to go to sleep for the night. Tyson and Daichi finished a beyblade match they'd started earlier, with Tyson the victor, then started eating some more marshmellows. Kai and Hilary watched them.

'I'm surprised they're not as fat as whales by the amount of food those two eat!' Hilary remarked.

Kai smirked. He stood up the patted Hilary on the head.

'Try and get some sleep,' he said, 'You'll need it if you intend to survive a camp with them.'

Hilary watched Kai disappear into his own tent. She had red cheeks again. She yawned then headed for her little sleeping area also. It wasn't long before Tyson and Daichi also decided it was time for rest, putting out the fire then retreeting into their tent. The dark figure in the trees waited until he could sense everyone asleep then smiled, pulling out a silver dagger which glimmered in the moonlight.

----

Kai's eyes snapped open.

Somethings not right... he thought, I can sense it.

His suspicions were shortly rewarded as a blood curling scream echoed through the forest. It was Kenny! Kai jumped up and shot out of his tent looking around. The other teens had also been awakened by the scream and exited their tents quickly. Kai, Ray and Max ran over to where Kenny's tent was supposed to be. Tyson and Daichi stumbled out of theirs and Hilary ran out of her tent and stayed between Kai and Max. They all stopped and looked in horror at the chaos which was Kenny's tent.

'Daichi! Light that fire back up!' Kai barked.

In a manner of seconds the fire was blazing again. Hilary clapped her hands over her mouth. It was a disaster! Kenny's tent was slashed and shredded beyong recognision but that wasn't the only frightening part. Kenny's glasses lay on the ground, cracked and with droplets of dense dark scarlet liquid spattered around the wreckage.

'Th-that's b-b-blood!' Daichi stammered fearfully, latching onto Tysons arm.

'But where's Kenny!' Ray said looking around.

The short brunette was no where to be seen. Kai and Ray both kneeled down examining the ground.

'What would have done this!' asked Max.

'Was it a wild animal?' asked Tyson.

'No,' said Ray.

He and Kai looked at eachother and nodded in agreement. They looked at the others.

'It was a person,' said Kai in a hard voice.
