Camping to Deepen a Bond

Disclaimer: Let's see, which metaphor should I give today? Hmm...nothing coming. Oh well. Here's a poem that says it all. Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own digimon so you can't sue.

Author's note: Well, gotta tell you something. This is my very first fic for fanfic.net so don't babble to me that it's bad or something. I hope you guys'll like it though. Well, I really like this fic and so after you read, tell me what you think. Till then, enjoy.

"Hey Hikari, how's it going?" asked Takeru

"It's good. So Takeru, you all ready for the camping trip?" asked Hikari.

"Guess so, hope I have everything. How about you?"

"Think I'm prepared. Got everything set like a week ago, I'm so excited!"

"Well, lets set our stuff on the bus and get going!"

All the students packed their stuff on the bus, as Mr. Fugiyama counted everyone off.

"Kamiya Hikari, Motimiya Daisuke, Takaishi Takeru, ..." continued Mr. Fugiyama. When everyone was present, they all got on the bus. "Ok, you will sit with your camp partner.

Please be Hikari! Please be Hikari! thought Daisuke as he crossed both of his fingers.

"Daisuke and Cody, Yolei and Ken, Takeru and Hikari, ..." continued Mr. Fugiyama as he went through the list.

Ken came with on this trip? thought Takeru

Damn! Now I'm not with Hikari, but worse, she's with Takeru!!! I'm gonna kill him! thought Daisuke as he made a fist. Everyone got into their seat. "Hey Cody, let me sit on the edge, ok?" asked Daisuke.

"Ok, Daisuke," said Cody.

Great, now I can at least go near Hikari he thought.

"So Takeru, I want window, ok?" asked Hikari.

"Aww, I wanted the window. How about we do rock, paper, scissors?"

"Ok then."

Daisuke overheard them, and started to cheer for Takeru "Go Takeru! Beat Hikari!" he shouted.

Both Takeru and Hikari looked at him strangely. "Are you feeling ok Daisuke?" asked Takeru

Daisuke gave a surprised look. "Oh me! Yeah! I'm just fine!!! Why do you ask?!?" he shouted suspiciously.

"Well for one thing, you're cheering for me instead of Hikari," answered Takeru

"Yeah, well can't I cheer for a fellow brother?"

"Uhh...I guess," said Takeru still confused, but he didn't care. They continued to tie 9 times, but finally, "Paper! Yay! Paper beats rock! I win!" shouted Hikari. She gave a big smile and sat by the window.

Great, now I can't even talk to Hikari because of Takeru thought Daisuke. He made a fist of anger, but it died down when Cody asked, "Daisuke, are you ok? You're acting weird."

"Yeah, I'm fine Cody."

A little into the trip, Hikari turned to Takeru

"Hey Takeru, do you wanna pull a prank on Daisuke?" asked Hikari.

"Sure Hikari," he replied. Hikari sat on his lap, and Daisuke immediately took notice. She had her arms around Takeru and was commenting on how he looked.

"Oh Takeru, you look so handsome today," she said. Then she held his face, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then she nuzzled her head into his chest. Takeru just gave a deep shade of red on his face. Daisuke was paralyzed with anger and sadness.

"You look so cute when you blush," she replied, actually telling the truth, but Takeru didn't know. She felt his face, and she put Takeru's arms around her. Then she cuddled with him. All Takeru could do was blush the whole time. Daisuke was still paralyzed with rage and sadness. Then Hikari got off his lap, and started to laugh. Then she elbowed Takeru and whispered, "Come on Takeru, didn't you see the expression on Daisuke's face?"

"Expression?" he said still blushing. Then he got some sense knocked into him and said, "Oh. Hahahahah...." He gave a fake laugh, but was wishing that Hikari really meant what she said.

By now, a lot of the people were sleeping. Takeru, Hikari, and a couple of the other campers were still awake though.

"I'm getting tired of playing gameboy," said Takeru But Hikari didn't hear because she was listening to her Discman. She closed her eyes as she hummed with the music. Takeru just smiled at her weakly because she looked funny nodding her head to the music.

After a while, everyone was asleep except Takeru and Hikari. Takeru was crossing his arms and closing his eyes deep in thought, and Hikari was staring out the window. It was around midnight, and the full moon was real bright. Soon Hikari tapped Takeru on the shoulder. Startled, he made a little jump.

"Takeru, it's just me."

"Oh Hikari. Sorry, I've been kind of bored, and the tap broke it."

"Do you want to do something?"

"Like what?"

"Umm...how about we play a game."

"A game? I guess...but what kind?" Hikari gave a sly smile. "Truth or dare."

"Sure, who goes first?" asked Takeru

"I will, truth."

"Ok...do you like Daisuke?" She gave a surprised look.

"Daisuke??? No!" she said a little loud, because some of the people gave a little moan.

"Ok, now it's my turn. Truth or dare?"

"I choose...truth."

"Ok, do you have a crush on anyone."

"Uhh...yes," he replied shyly. Hikari's eyes widened.

"Do I know this person?"

"Sorry, only one question, Hikari. Now it's my turn. Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Ok...hmm...I dare you to...kiss Daisuke."

"What?!? Aww...do I have to?"

"Yup."

"TTTTTTTT.KKKKKKKKKKKK. Pllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssseeeee?" She gave Takeru a puppy face, which he caved in immediately.

"Oh fine, but you have to kiss someone." She gave a smile.

"Anyone?"

"Yeah, I guess," answered Takeru She sat closer to him, and kissed him on the cheek. Takeru blushed deeply.

"Ok, now it's my turn. Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Ok, you know the person you have a crush on, is she someone I know?"

"Yes," replied Takeru Hikari was starting to get excited.

"Ok, I choose truth," she said.

"Do you have a crush on someone?" asked Takeru

"Yes I do," she smiled.

"Do I know him?" he asked.

"Ah ah ah! Only one question!"

"Sorry Hikari, ok I choose truth."

"Is the girl you like on the bus?"

"Uhh...yes."

"Ok, I choose dare."

"Go punch Daisuke in the arm." She got up and punched Daisuke. Then she quickly ran back to her seat. Daisuke just gave a little snort, and they both giggled.

"Ok, now it's my turn. Truth or dare?" she asked Takeru

"Dare." He said. She thought for a while to think of what to dare him, then she got an idea. She gave a big smile.

"Ok, go kiss the person you like," she said. Takeru didn't move. "Takeru? Come on, kiss the girl you like."

"Ok, but first I gotta tell who I like though."

"Sure," she answered. Takeru went next to her ear.

"Hikari Kamiya." Hikari's face brightened, and Takeru kissed her on the lips. Hikari started to kiss back, and then Takeru felt Hikari's tongue go in his mouth. He gave Hikari some tongue and they frenched for an extremely long time as they held each other's face. When they finally stopped, they slowly backed their heads and opened their eyes.

"Well, I guess that answers my question," she said. They smiled at each other for a while. Then soon after, they fell asleep on each other.

**The next day**

The next day, everyone woke up when they fell of their seats, from the sudden halt of the bus.

"AH!" cried everyone.

"We're here everybody. Now before we all get off the bus, I have to tell you guys what to do. Everyone will get a reserved camp area in the forest, and pitch their tent and stuff there. The main camp base should be easy to get to from any area because there is a path leading to it. Anytime you hear the camp horn go off, that means that there is an event taking place, whether it be eating, cleaning, etc. ..." continued Mr. Fugiyama.

Man, I'm going to fall asleep soon if he doesn't stop talking. Wonder where Hikari is thought Daisuke to himself. He looked around, and saw she was sitting next to Takeru, listening to Mr. Fugiyama.

"...Bears! Beware of bears and other forest animals. Don't go near them. If there is one hanging around your camp area, go tell one of the counselors or myself. Any questions?" asked Mr. Fugiyama. Takeru raised his hand.

"What if a bear is too close to you and you can't go to the main camp base, then what should you do?"

"Ah, good question Takeru If a bear is too close so you can't run, then pretend to play dead. Bears do not eat dead things, but beware of foxes or wolves because they do."

They all got out of the bus and grabbed their stuff. Hikari had a lot of stuff so Takeru helped carry some of them. They went to an empty camp area near the lake, so they decided to pitch their tent there. They unpacked everything and made it comfy for the next couple of weeks.

"Wow Hikari, you brought a BIG tent!!!" exclaimed Takeru as he bent his head back just to see the top of it. "I mean, it's as big as my room! That's why your bags were so heavy!"

"Thanks for carrying my bag again, Takeru And I need a big tent to put all my stuff in it! It makes me feel like I'm at home in the forest."

"Ok, so anyways, what do you have in those bags besides the really big tent?"

"Oh just some things that I like to carry around with me."

"Alright." Takeru took out his alarm clock. "It's almost 8 PM. We should go to sleep soon, so that we don't have to get cranky tomorrow."

They laid their air mats and sleeping bags in the tent. They got their toothbrushes and went to the lake. After they brushed their teeth, they washed their face. They went back to the tent, where they had to change. "Uhh...who should change first?" asked Takeru

"I don't know...you can if you want."

"Ok, thanks Hikari." After he changed he came out in his boxers and a T-shirt. Hikari blushed when she saw him in his underwear. Then Takeru waited outside as she changed. After about 3 minutes, she said he could come in. He came in the tent, shivering.

"Thanks Hikari, I was getting real cold out there."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I had trouble when my zipper was stu-" She stopped dead in her tracks and blushed. Takeru just smiled at her. They lay down on their beds, and turned off the lamp. Hikari soon fell asleep, but Takeru stayed awake. He usually didn't fall asleep till 10 or 11 anyways so he just put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling of the tent. He could see the moon light shine past it.

Hmm......I'm sleeping next to the hottest girl in the world, and I don't do anything about it. Well I'm an idiot. She looks cute when she sleep. She closes her eyes so tightly. She is my best friend, and has been since like when? Well she knows that I have a crush on her. We even kissed. Wonder if she liked it. Hope she did because I really liked it. I mean, we frenched each other. How many times do you see just friends frenching each other? Not a lot. Aw man! Why am I answering my own questions?!? Well that settles it. I'm going nuts. Or maybe I'm going nuts for Hikari...so many unanswered questions...so little time...zzzzz....

The next day, Takeru was woke up and saw Hikari snuggled next to him. He turned to her. "..." he said.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I'M SLEEPING WITH Hikari!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MAN!!!!!!!! NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it cool, Takeru Now, what happened yesterday? I don't remember. Lets see...I was thinking to myself...that's all! Did she snuggle with me while I was asleep? Uhh...damn! I think too much! Well I do like that she's all cuddled next to me. I'd sure like to touch her nice bottom. Why am I thinking like a pervert?! What's wrong with me? Why do I keep all these thoughts bottled up? I usually never do that. Maybe Hikari was cold. Yeah, that's it. She must have been cold. She seems pretty happy right now. Ow! She's holding me too tight...=) alright!!!

He put his arms around Hikari and gave a heavy sigh. Hikari, still asleep gave a sigh too and cuddled closer to Takeru not realizing it.

**Hikari's dream**

"Takeru!!!"

"Hikari!!!" They run toward each other and fall in each other's arms.

"I love you more then anything ever created, Hikari."

"And I you, Takeru" They hugged other real tightly, and soon they began to kiss each other with passion. The whole scene around them was exploding with fireworks and the sun seemed to just beam on them. Sweet music played and everyone cheered for them.

**Reality**

Hikari was holding Takeru tighter then ever and he could barely breathe.

"Uck! Can't...breathe...well...but...so...reward.........ing..." Takeru shook Hikari so she would wake up. When she got out of her dream, she slowly opened her eyes and realized she was holding Takeru tightly.

"EEK!"

She stopped holding Takeru and went back to her bed. She was blushing and was embarrassed. She couldn't look at Takeru Then she covered her face with her hands and started to cry. Takeru, confused about what just happened came over to her.

I've never seen Hikari so emotional. She always had a strong spirit

"Hikari, what's wrong?" He placed his hand on her shoulder and sat beside her.

"I'm sorry...Takeru.." she managed to say.

"For what?"

"For...for...for holding you."

"Hey Hikari, it's ok. You were just cold, right?"

Hikari figured that's what happened and she stopped crying.

"Yeah...I guess I was." Takeru gave Hikari a warm smile and she smiled back.

"Ok, so how about we get ready for today?" asked Takeru

"Alright," said Hikari.

It was cold, so they put on their jackets. Then they headed outside with their toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and towel and washed up for the day. When they finished, they changed into new set of clothes. Then they hung out around their camp area, waiting for the horn to ring. As they waited, they talked to each other.

"So Takeru, now that we're girl-friend/boy-friend, what should we do together?" asked Hikari.

"G-g-ggirl-friend/B-b-b-bbb-boy-f-riend?" he asked nervously.

Hikari smiled at his shyness.

"Of course silly. We both know that we like each other, and we kissed, right! So we're a couple now," she explained.

...OH MY GO* YES!!! ME AND Hikari SITTING ME IN A TREE. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE TOGETHER!!! thought Takeru, but he kept a smooth look on his face.

"I guess so," he replied.

"So, why are we sitting so far apart then?" asked Hikari.

Takeru noticed that they were pretty far apart too. Then they sat next to each other.

"Hmm...so, what do you think we'll do today?" asked Hikari.

"I don't know. Maybe we'll go hiking or fishing. I hope we play basketball! I'd love a game of basketball during camp."

Hikari giggled at Takeru's comments and soon they heard the horn ring.

"Time for breakfast," said Takeru

With that, they headed off for breakfast. During the way, Hikari started to shiver, not a lot though because she didn't want Takeru to notice, but of course, Takeru, being the over caring kind of guy he was, noticed.

"Hikari, you're shivering!"

"It's n-nothing..." she said.

Takeru gave her his jacket and hat, and put his arm around her. She felt warm right away.

"Thanks Takeru I feel warm already."

He smiled at her, glad she was happy, but he was starting to shiver.

Aw man! It's freezing, but I can't let Hikari notice! She might give me back my stuff and get cold again. NO! I won't have that! Gotta stand tall and fight the weather!

He soon started to turn pale along the way and was starting to drag a little. Hikari noticed this and felt his face.

"Takeru!!! You're freezing!!! Let me give you your jacket back," she said as she was removing Takeru's jacket, but he stopped her.

"N-n-no! I'm not-t go-goin-g-g to let you get c-c-c-cold..." he managed to say.

Hikari didn't like how Takeru was being stubborn, but finally got an idea. She put her arms around Takeru and put her head on his shoulder, so she was covering him with her heat. Takeru felt relaxed from the heat. He snuggled closer to Hikari too, and soon, they were so close together, you'd think they were one. They shared their jackets and walked to the main camp base. When they got there, everyone was staring at the couples.

"What's with everyone?" asked Takeru

"I don't know," answered Hikari.

Everyone gave a big groan, "Awww man!". The girls were upset that the cutest guy, and guys were upset that the cutest girl, were a couple now. Then Daisuke entered the scene with Cody, and saw Takeru and Hikari holding each other.

AH! It's been one day, and he's already putting moves on my girl!!! I'm going to settle this!

He marched up to Takeru "Hey T.A.!!! What the heck do you think you're doing? Messing with my girl!"

He pushed Takeru out of Hikari's reach. He continued to push Takeru, but Takeru finally got angry enough, and pushed Daisuke hard to the ground. "Daisuke, what are you doing? I don't want to fight you!"

Daisuke got up and said, "Well that's too bad for you T.M.!"

"And another thing! The name's Takeru!"

Daisuke started to run after Takeru and was about to punch him, but Takeru just stuck his hand out and held Daisuke's head and pushed him to the floor.

"Come on Daisuke. This is stupid, I'm not going to fight over who gets Hikari. Now let's just stop, alright?"

Daisuke got up, madder then ever.

"My goggles we won't fight! Come on wimp, I'll take you down!"

He raised his fist and started attacking Takeru, but Takeru just dodged all of them easily. Everyone was gathered around, watching the 1/2 a fight.

"Obviously, you've never fought an older brother," commented Takeru as he dodged Daisuke's punches.

"Oh, that's it!" shouted Daisuke.

He charged after Takeru, but Takeru just tripped him.

"Daisuke, come on! Stop doing this to yourself. Come on, give me your hand," said Takeru as he stuck out his hand. Then Daisuke, still on the floor, took a rock and slammed it against Takeru's hand. Takeru shouted in pain. He got a deep cut in his hand. He held his hand trying to stop the bleeding, when Daisuke pounced on him. Then he started to punch Takeru in the stomach and other places. Takeru, too weak from the deep cut, couldn't get him off. He continued to get hit by Daisuke when Hikari knocked Daisuke on the head with her fist. Everyone gawked at her. She ran to Takeru, who was all scratched, bruised, and bloody from the punches.

"Takeru! Are you alright?"

Takeru slowly got up, but his hand was still bleeding.

"I'm fine, the cut just stings, that's all."

Hikari helped him up and they walked to the nurse, leaving everyone behind.

When they came in the nurse's office, the nurse gave a startled look.

"Oh my goodness! What happened to you?"

"Nothing," answered Takeru

The nurse went up to him and looked at his hand.

"Lets clean it up first. Then we can put some medicine on and wrap a piece of cloth over it."

After they fixed the cut, they joined everybody in the mess hall. They grabbed a tray and sat next to their friends.

Takeru sat next to his friend, Justin, and Hikari sat at a different table with her friend Kathy, or how everyone calls her, Kat.

"So Takeru, you and your girl hitting it off well, huh?" asked Justin.

"Huh? What? She's not my girl, we're just friends, that's all."

"Ok, sure. Since when do friends walk together all cuddled up?"

Takeru blushed not realizing that everyone was staring at him and Hikari for that.

"Well...I uhh...umm...is it getting hot in here?" he asked nervously.

"Takeru, it's like 30 degrees. How can you be...OOOOHHHHH!!! Hahahah! You're nervous! Well don't worry, you're getting all worked up for nothing, but DAMN! Hikari's the hottest girl in the school. How'd she end up going out with a guy like you?"

"Shut up Justin. Besides, I never said I was going out with her or anything."

"Come on Takeru, you stupid or something? What do you think boyfriends and girlfriends do? Play dress up or have tea parties? They go out on dates and kiss and stuff. For real man, think."

"Uhh..." said Takeru speechless.

Meanwhile, back with Hikari and her friend Kat, they were talking about the same thing.

"So, when did you and Takeru start seeing each other?"

"What do you mean?" asked Hikari.

"You know, become an item and date?"

"We're not an item or anything. We're just friends."

"Uh huh...sure. But tell me, since when do friends start walking together, with their arms around each other? I mean you guys were sharing the same jackets! Get real Hikari. Everyone saw it too."

"Uhh..." said Hikari, knowing now why everyone was staring at them.

"Your even wearing Takeru's hat. So anyways, when did you guys start going out with each other?"

"We never went out with each other, Kathy."

"Oh, so you two just became a couple yesterday or today?"

"Umm..." said Hikari speechless.

Back at Takeru's table, they were continuing to talk about the same thing.

"So Takeru, have you kissed her yet?" asked Justin.

"Uhh...............well........." said Takeru

"HAHAHA! You did! Well don't worry. I won't TELL ANYBODY THAT YOU AND Hikari KISSED EACH OTHER!!!" he said loud enough for everybody to hear.

Takeru froze. He was blushing deep and so was Hikari. Everyone gave hoots and hollers and laughed. Takeru and Hikari both sunk into their seats, embarrassed. The teachers broke up the commotion and after the crowd went back to eating and chatting, Takeru punched Justin in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" he asked.

"Take a guess," said Takeru, upset at what Justin did.

"Sorry, but now don't you feel better not keeping it a secret anymore?"

Takeru didn't want to admit it, but he actually did feel good about letting it out.

After breakfast, everyone was divided into teams. There were five in total. Takeru was in group #0 along with Hikari. In #5, there were Daisuke, Cody, and in team #3, there was Yolei and Ken. When they all got their groups, they went to an area to discuss all the events.

"Uhh...so counselor, what event are we doing first?" asked one of the guys in #0.

"Ok, the first event taking place is the.........ah! Here it is, the first event is baseball. Anyone here a real pro at that?" One girl and two guys raised their hands. "Ok, that's good. The next event is river rafting. Anyone here good at that?" One girl and one guy raised their hands.

"Me and my dad used to do it all the time when I was young," said the boy.

"Ok...so anyway, the next event is soccer. Anyone like soccer?" Three girls raised their hands up and 2 guys raised their hands too. "Wow, a lot of people like soccer, ehh? Ok so anybody good at......tennis?" Hikari and a couple of others raised their hands. "Excellent!"

Takeru leaned over to Hikari and whispered, "You know how to play tennis?"

"Yeah, Sora taught me how during the summer. I'm pretty good now."

"Oh, you gotta teach me! I don't know anything about it."

"Heehee, ok. Sure thing Takeru"

"Ok, so now that last event would be...............ah yes. Basketball. Anybody real good at that?" Takeru's hand shot up, along with 2 others. Everyone else who didn't raise their hands pointed to Takeru "Hahaha...so Takeru, are you the basketball champ?" Takeru just blushed a little.

"He's the captain of the basketball team!" shouted a boy.

"Yeah! He's real good!" said another guy.

"Yeah...I could watch him all day..." said a girl. Hikari glared at the girl, and the girl quickly looked away.

"Ok, then how about everyone get 2 laps around the camp and then come back here to practice baseball." Everyone started to head off and run.

Meanwhile, at Daisuke, Yolei, and Cody's group, they were talking about the same thing.

"So, who's the best at soccer?" asked their counsler.

Daisuke beamed with pride as he shot his hand up.

"Just call me the soccer master!"

"Yeah yeah, so who's the best at tennis?" A couple of the girls raised their hands and one boy did too. "Alright, now who's good at basketball?" No one raised their hands. Suddenly, Daisuke's hand shot up.

"Alright, so you're a soccer and basketball master?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Ok! Now everyone give me 4 laps around the camp and then come back to practice baseball!" With that, everyone began running off.

Takeru and Hikari were half way done with their running. Right when they started their second, they met up with Daisuke, who was running his first.

"Hey Daisuke," said Takeru

"Wuh? Oh, hey T.S., HI Hikari!" Daisuke gave her a big smile. Hikari gave a disgusted look. She looked at Takeru, who was also smiling at her. She smiled back. This made Daisuke extremely mad.

Damn Takeru It's all because of him that Hikari isn't with me! Wish I could change that...hmm... He thought for a long time but nothing came to him.

"Almost...huff...done...huff...with our...laps...huff," said Takeru to Hikari.

"Yeah...huff...just a little...further." With that, they decided to run as fast as they could, leaving Daisuke in the dust.

"Huh? Takeru's not getting away that fast with Hikari!" Daisuke started to speed up as fast as he could. Takeru and Hikari saw Daisuke speeding up behind them.

"Uh oh, he's catching up," said Hikari.

"Yeah...I think I have an idea on how to ditch him." They continued to run and saw a couple of big trees on the side of the path.

"Follow me!" shouted Takeru and he grabbed Hikari's wrist and pulled her behind the trees.

"Whoa!" shouted Hikari as she was pulled behind. Takeru was against the tree and held Hikari tightly close to him, which made Hikari blush a little. Hikari was tightly held by Takeru as she heard Daisuke running past them. They still waited for 1 more minute after he was gone so they could catch their breath.

"I think he's gone now," said Takeru

"Yeah, lets go," answered Hikari. They went out behind the trees and finished up their lap.

When they got to their baseball field, they saw that there were a couple other people already there. So they grabbed a mitt and a ball and started to play catch together.

"Here you go Hikari!"

"Ok Takeru!" She caught the ball.

"Now Hikari, I want you to throw it was fast as you can to me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, just throw you're fastest!"

"Ok..." said Hikari. She winded up for the pitch. Then she forced it forward and threw the ball right into Takeru's glove. Takeru caught it and let go of the ball.

"AHHHHH!!!!!!" screamed Takeru as he started to jump around holding his hand. Hikari gave a little giggle and skipped to Takeru

"Are you ok, Takeru?" she asked.

".................."

"Aww...poor Takeru" She took off his glove and saw his hand was all red. She felt it and Takeru winced in pain.

"Let's get you an ice pack."

"Uh uh..." said Takeru

"Takeru, come on. Don't be stubborn."

"No."

"Hmph...hmm...well I got an idea." She held Takeru's hand to her face and gave it a kiss. Takeru blushed as he caught some people looking. Hikari didn't care though.

"Thanks Hikari...feels a lot better." Hikari gave him a smile.

"Your very welcome, Takeru"

They decided to stop playing catch and grabbed a bat and only one glove and a ball. First it was Hikari to hit the balls. Takeru under threw the balls and Hikari hit every single one, but not far.

"Here, Hikari. Don't have the bat so close to your body. Let me show you." Takeru took the bat and told Hikari to throw a ball to him. She under threw the ball and Takeru whacked it out of the field.

"So that's how, ok?" Hikari nodded and Takeru handed her the bat.

"Ok, remember what I told you, Hikari," said Takeru and he tossed her a ball. She whacked it hard and it went straight into the sky. Takeru stared as the ball headed out of the field.

"How's that, Takeru?" asked Hikari.

"Now that! Is a very...Very good hit!"

"Hmm hmm," laughed Hikari. "Thanks Takeru" Just then, the coach came to the field and motioned everyone to gather around.

"Ok, be sure to be ready tomorrow because we first verse team is...team 1. Ok, everyone is dismissed to free time for 30 minutes, then head for the mess hall and we'll be having lunch. Till then everybody."

With that, everyone headed off in their own separate ways. Takeru and Hikari decided to stop by their camping area.

"Hmm..." Takeru said to himself. Hikari looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh nothing...just glad that I came to this trip." She smiled at him.

"And why is that?" she asked.

"Oh lots of reasons...it's fun, I love camping, it's good to be in the outdoors, we play a lot of sports,..."

"Oh..." said Hikari, a little sad that he didn't mention her.

"Yeah, those are all nice things..." he said, "but the nicest part of this is that you came, Hikari." He smiled at her. Hikari's face brightened.

"Really Takeru?" she asked. He gave a nod and put his arms around her like he did before at the trees. Hikari gave a pleasant sigh and smiled. They walked off to their camp area together, happily.

When they got there, they went in their big tent. Then they sat on their sleeping mattresses.

"Hmm...hey Takeru Do you think we'll do good against the other teams?"

"Huh? Of course Hikari, and besides, if we don't, it won't matter, will it?"

"Guess not," she said. Takeru smiled and sat next to her. She smiled back at him and held his hand. He looked down at it and blushed.

"Hehe..." he laughed nervously.

"What's wrong Takeru?" asked Hikari jokingly.

"I don't know. I'm just real glad that I got to meet you, Hikari."

"I'm glad I got to meet you too, Takeru" She put her head on his shoulder. At first Takeru felt uncomfortable, but since he realized no one was watching, and that he loved Hikari and she loved him, he put his head on her head. Then he started to hum a familiar tune.

"Takeru..where did you hear that song?"

"I don't know. I think I've always known it."

"Really? Because for as long as I could remember, I always knew that song too."

"Mmm..." replied Takeru as he slowly rocked Hikari along with him back and forth. She closed her eyes and soon she fell asleep.

"Huh?" Takeru lifted his head and saw her sleeping. "Hehe, Hikari..." he whispered. Then he put her head on his lap and slowly brushed her hair over and over again. He soon became sleepy himself and he fell asleep too.

A little later, Takeru and Hikari's counselor stuck his head in the tent.

"Hey you two love birds. Time for lunch." Then he headed for the next camp area.

Takeru and Hikari blushed.

"Aww man! I can't believe our counselor saw us sleeping together," said Takeru

"Yeah, I'm so embarrassed."

"Oh well. Come on, lets go eat lunch."

"Ok Takeru, just let me unpack something," she said.

"Sure thing, Hikari." Then Hikari went to her bag and pulled out a picture of Takeru It was in a gold frame and very nicely designed. "I've been keeping this, but now I don't need to hide it from you anymore.

"Alright, Hikari. I have a picture of you too, but I was afraid that Daisuke would find it and steal it or something." Hikari smiled knowing that Daisuke probably would.

"Ok, just let me get one more thing," said Hikari. She then got her scarf, but then continued to look through her stuff.

"Hikari? What's wrong?" Then she looked at him worried.

"Takeru? I'm missing some of my clothes. I think someone stole them."
