BTW, I forgot to mention another rule. if you come back without your partner, you are disqualified. Some teamwork crap or something like that.

Chapter Two: The Appearance of the Bird-Squirrels
Kenshin suddenly realized that the car had stopped moving. Again hands took his shoulders and let him out of the door.
The guider abandoned him, their boots crunching as they walked away.
"You can take you blindfold off now!" The guide called as they drove away. Kenshin reached up hands behind his hair for the knot of the bandanna, and stopped abruptly.
There was something sitting on his head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As he heard the car drive away, Sanosuke untied the red bandana from his face.
For a moment he stared down at the blindfold. He felt a strange attatchment to it. He hesitated for a moment, then wrapped it around his face, keeping his bangs out of his face.
Then he looked up and let his jaw drop, much like the other person was looking right now.
"YOU!" They both yelled at the same time, pointing accusing fingers at each other.
~~ FLASHBACK~~
A fourteen year old Sanosuke trampled his way through the woods with his partner, Megumi.
"Can we make camp now?" Megumi whined.
"No! We have to catch up with the others! They're probably already at the lake by now." They were on a four day hiking trip, put with partners to test their orienteering skills. Megumi and Sanosuke had gotten extremely lost because neither of them was really that good with a compass, especially not Sanosuke.
"Though I am a little hungrey." stated Sanosuke, eyeing the scenery. There was a berry bush to the right of them, and its branches were dripping with plump red berries.
Megumi pointed at the bush. " I think those are good to eat." She replied, marveling at her own cleverness. What better way to get back at him for being so rude?
Sanosuke promptly began to devour the berries while Megumi watched, laughter dancing in her eyes.
~~ END FLASHBACK~~
" I was puking in the bushes for the rest of the TRIP!" Sanosuke yelled, his face turning red. He couldn't believe that he was put into a group with this obnoxious ditz. It was like déjà vu.
Megumi yelled back "Well you wouldn't let us STOP!" Her feet had really hurt. After that time, she had remembered never to go on hiking trips in high heels.
"It's not my fault you're an idiot and forgot to pack SHOES!" He screamed, furious. Puking in the bushes is not fun. Especially when you know that the whole troop is laughing at you at the campfire.
They both "humphed" and turned away, their arms crossed. It was going to be a long week.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Troop leader Monigue slowly stroked a squirrel pirched on her shoulder.
So she had an allegiance with the bird squirrels. They were oddly intelligent little buggers, gave her reports typed up by a squirrel with good typing skills. Good for spying and causing mayhem. Gave a little spice to the normally relatively bland trip.
So Megumi and Sanosuke weren't getting along? They would. Oh, they would. Once she decided on a project, she was unusually stubborn. And this was starting to look like a fun project indeed.
She smiled and whispered something to the squirrel, which bounded away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Don't. move. a. muscled."
The squirrel watched Kaoru approaching with slight interest. Kenshin's head was very comfortable. That guy had a darn lot of hair.
Kaoru adjusted her grip on the long stick. Kenshin sat still as a statue, his blindfold still secured tightly around his eyes. The squirrel twitched a little on his head, and gave out a small caw.
"YAH!" Kaoru said, swatting at the squirrel. After all, she couldn't just let it sit there. Something about that squirrel brought the word rabid to mind.
The squirrel jumped off, dodging the stroke with ease. Kenshin fell over. The blow had hit him right on top of the head.
"Orrooooooo." Cried the confused red haired teen. First a squirrel on his head, now something was attacking him?
" Oh my god!" Kaoru cried, rushing to a bruised Kenshin's side. "Are you okay?"
"Uhhhhnnnnn." Kenshin replied, then passed out into Kaoru's arms. A small blush spread along her face.
The squirrel jumped from tree to tree, feeling pleased at accomplishing it's mission. There would be acorns tonight.
AN: Just a little taste of what the squirrels are capable of. This is going to be a reeeaaly good update week. Usually I can only squeeze in weekends. Think of it as a reward for all those that review. *Smile*
