Chapter 5
Disclaimer: Slam Dunk will never belong to me sniffle...................
Mitsui wiped the perspiration that trickled down his face. Here they were, on an unknown yet dangerous cliff, numerous in caves where they had spent a few nights. Avalanches were frequent; they had had to duck into caves several times. And there was this rumbling from the peak...wait a minute, rumbling from the peak?!?! Mitsui grabbed the person nearest to him and dove into a cave, while shouting, "Take cover! Avalanche!".
-THUD-
A large boulder blocked the entrance of the cave. The others, who had been lagging behind, were still outside.
Rummaging in his backpack, Mitsui pulled out a torchlight and switched it on, revealing Athena's frightened face. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks red, and her clothes dirty and torn.
She stated the obvious. "We're trapped!"
Mitsui rolled his eyes. "I know." He prepared himself for the torrents of tears and whining.
Instead, she replied calmly, "Oh, Wan Ting's helicopter should be over soon to get that boulder out of the way, I think, but it'll take at least a day. So, let's at least get a bit comfortable." She pulled out a blanket from her backpack and a thermos. She spread out the blanket. It was only wide enough for two people to sit side by side. Mitsui crawled over and sat down next to her. Athena was very aware of his closeness.
They sat in silence.

Athena felt a faint tingling in her mind......... ah! Claire was trying to send her a message!
-Are you ok in there? Wan Ting's helicopter will be coming soon. So... you and Mitsui having fun? (naughty grin)- (Claire)
- Claire, I swear that when I come out I will kill you!- (Athena)
-(*sweatdrop*) ok, ok................- (Claire)

Mitsui and Athena had fallen asleep for three hours. Athena was the first to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes. The torch was still turned on, illuminating the cave. She felt a weight on her lap that had caused it to go numb. Looking down, she found herself staring into the sleeping face of Mitsui.
-Huh? What is he doing?- She thought.
Mitsui was sleeping peacefully, an angelic expression on his face. Athena couldn't bear to wake him up. She ran her fingers through his tousled hair. Mitsui didn't stir.
"Athena! Mitsui! Are you alright? Answer! Are you guys are alright?" voices yelled from outside. Mitsui, startled, opened his eyes to find himself lying on something warm and soft.
"You've been lying there for quite a while." Athena seemed to find it amusing.
Mitsui bolted up straight. "Gomen, gomen..."
