Midnight: I know it was a REALLY bad cliffhanger; I'm not so good at that kind of stuff. I want to thank my reviewers, because I wasn't sure if anyone was going to like it, considering the fact it was a spur of the moment thing. I was a bit worried about the portrayal too, till a friend of mine said I sounded like Kyou(personality wise) but it was only every now and then. I never knew I was writing a yaoi krys, tell you what, I'll see what I can do about it. Personally I like the pairing but I've really never written a yaoi before, I may need a few ideas. And Runic, don't worry, enough reviews for me is one that gives me the knowledge that at least one person will continue to enjoy it if I write more.
Lin: Everyone probably thinks you've abandoned your story by now.
Raine: For once the idiot is right, you should've been a lot farther by now.
Midnight: I know, gomen, I put out the first chapter right before finals week and then I needed to rest my overly tired brain by sleeping for almost two days straight, and there was chaos at home for three weeks, time just slipped away.
Raine: Well, then you better make it up to any of your leftover readers and write like crazy before you leave on vacation.
Lin: And we're gonna' make sure she writes more chapter's while she's down there.
Midnight: (whining like Momiji) Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh, somebody they're being mean to me (sniff) But, I guess you're right, Lin your turn to read the disclaimer.
Lin: This anime belongs to the great people who made it and will never let Midnight buy it, thank Ra, and the idea belongs to Raine, and Midnight's money belongs to me.
Midnight: You changed the disclaimer!!!! And Raine only gave me the IDEA, I was the one who built upon it and worked out the plot. Never mind, this chappie is dedicated to my good friend Ren-ai, I missed her B-day party but I still wanna' say HAPPY BIRTHDAY REN-AI! ^__^ Okay I'm done, on with the fic.
Kyou's POV (I'm gonna do it all in Kyou's POV from now on unless stated otherwise^_^)
"I can't believe I'm stuck with you. (sigh) But things could be worse." Why on Earth did it have to be them? It had to be the two people I don't want to travel with in the woods, Yuki and Haru. "What do you mean it could be worse, are you saying you don't trust us?" I could feel both their glares after Yuki's comment.
"Class, I see you're all in your groups so lets get moving."
"Well guys you heard the man, let's head off. I'll take care of the map and compass, you guys follow me." I think we're already in trouble; we should not let Haru hold the map or compass at ANY time during this trip.
"Kyou, you're tensing up. Calm down, Haru's gone through this class just as you and I have and I'm sure he can find our way with a map and compass. Don't worry about it." Stupid rat doesn't know what he's getting us into, Haru will get us lost for a month!
"Fine, we're following the group anyways, so he won't need to use the map, but we still shouldn't let him have it."
"Alright, Kyou; but we better get going, we're already behind the rest of the group." We ended up being the last group in line, I made sure Haru was last overall so he couldn't screw this up. Maybe this trip won't turn out as bad as I thought.
Never mind IT'S WORSE. The damn group left us behind. We were walking along some narrow path and Yuki decides to fall… down a very steep hill… about 20 feet to the bottom. Normally I would have left him there, but NO. Haru tried to rescue Yuki, and couldn't leave me out of the fun. Haru grabbed Yuki as he was falling; he lost his balance and latched onto me, causing us all to fall. The damn rat is always in my way. Of course no one noticed that we even fell, how damn convenient is that? I figured I had good enough reason to use Yuki as a punching bag for this. "This is all your fault, ya' damn rat."
"Well I'm sorry, but I can't exactly help it now can I?" By this time Haru seemed to be deciding weather to join the fight or not.
"If you could keep your feet on the path it might help next time." I was just itching to burry my fist in his face. Soon enough I realized I didn't want to have to drag Yuki out of these woods. It still took a while for me to control myself. "So, are we going or what?" I practically hissed I was still quite annoyed. I believe earlier Yuki said he'd get the map from Haru so when Yuki started moving I just followed. Maybe it was a bad idea to ever have joined this class.
It had probably been an hour or a little longer when I knew something was wrong, we'd all been silent the whole time. It's always in the most quiet of moments when you figure these things out, I had to break the silence. "Yuki, I'm pretty sure it's the third time we've passed that rock." (A/N- anyone notice it's always the third time you've passed something when you finally figure out you're lost *_*)
"How do you know?"
"Well maybe the fact not many rocks are wedged into bushes around here."
"Oh, I'll ask Haru if he's sure we're going the right way." At this moment I couldn't believe my ears.
"You did not just imply that Haru. Has. The. Map. I'm going to KILL YOU." Yuki's probably lucky Haru caught my attention, because I was seriously ready to murder someone.
"What's the problem back there you two?"
"Haru, give me the map, NOW." I would've been surprised at his complying to my 'request' if I had not been so upset. "Now show me exactly the path you've been leading us in."
"Well when I started I wasn't sure where we were so I worked it out and figured we were around here somewhere." He circled a small section of the map with his index finger, "A few times I thought I had the map held wrong but I just recently decided I'd follow the trail we fell off of and head for the campsite, about here." He dragged his finger up a semi-thick blue line and pointed to another spot on the map. He had the nerve to smile… I knew he wasn't listening in that class.
I felt the need to point out his error in an extremely blunt way "You asshole, don't you know anything, blue means water, our trail was marked in red over here." He had been on the complete other side of the map. Damn it, why the hell was I stuck with them, why couldn't it have been anyone else. Haru didn't understand what a map was about, and he had gotten us completely lost. While I was trying to think Haru took back the map.
"So that's what the red line is, oops"
"How can you just say, 'oops', we're completely lost?!" He was getting me angry all over again.
"Well if we just start following the red trail, or maybe we could turn over here and try to…" At that moment I decided to make confetti of the map Haru had been holding.
"Kyou, you just destroyed the map." Well thank you for pointing out the obvious.
"It doesn't matter now Haru you've gotten us completely lost anyways it was useless."
"Actually Kyou, I think I hear a river. The map may have helped us reach the camp if we found out where we were on the river." I felt like destroying something.
"And of course you tell us this now Yuki." I tried to punch my way through a tree but in the end only managed a pair of sore bleeding hands. "It's getting dark let's just set up camp for now and we'll find out where we are in the morning." Yuki suggested we find the river so we'd have a good point to start from and we set up camp about 50 feet away. We set up a fire and talked for a while, somehow we got on the topic of the rest of the group. "Hey guys do you think they realize we're gone yet?"
"Probably, Haru. You think any of them are worried?"
"Maybe, but not that bastard of a teacher, he probably thinks 'they've got a map, they'll be fine'. He won't even bother looking for us until the last day if we don't find our way out to the bus."
At the campsite with the rest of the group
"So it looks like everyone's here."
"But where's Yuki's group Mr. Furuyama? I don't see any of them." It was one of the Yuki fan club girls, obviously worried.
"Don't worry they probably just wondered off to do some of their own exploring, they have their own map so they'll be perfectly fine. I'm sure they'll turn up tomorrow. Now everyone I'll leave you to yourselves."
Back at the river
"Damn, let's just turn in, I'm to tired to eat anyway."
"Agreed, let's just call it a night." We all pitched in to put out our fire and climbed into the three-person tent, although it felt more like two and a half. Who knew sleeping arrangements could cause such a fight. I bet all the animals were scared to death. There would be no possible way to make all of us happy.
"I am NOT sleeping next to Haru." Well if it pissed Yuki off I'd be happy.
"I'm fine as long as I don't have to sleep by you." There was no way I was sleeping next to that damn rat. Haru was the only one who seemed content, as long as he could sleep by Yuki. I had a feeling that no matter what our sleeping arrangements would turn out horrible.
Midnight: Will they all kill each other over sleeping arrangements? Will they survive the night? Will Mr. Furuyama bother to ever worry? Will our brave heroes find their way back, or has Haru successfully gotten them lost for all eternity?
Lin: Raine she's imitating an announcer, let's just make sure she's not drunk and that she won't give away the plot.
Raine: What plot?
Lin: Good point.
Midnight: Hey you guys aren't fighting; wait… there's a plot. Anyways people review, huh. Till next time…
