Tohru got up early the next morning to pack her things. It was day of the class trip and she was overflowing with excitement. As Tohru was putting her bathing suit into her bag she stopped and began to think of the events of the night before. When her new friend Miya had confessed that she was actually a demon, instead of being afraid, Tohru felt sorry for her. She thought about how hard her friend's life must have been, always trying to hide her true self away from everyone, much like the members of the Sohma family.

" Are you packed Tohru?" asked Yuki as he stood in the doorway to her room.

" Oh yes, I'm almost done, just a few more things!" she replied.

Yuki waited till Tohru had finished packing and then grabbed her bag to carry it downstairs.

" Oh the class trip," said Shigure as a smile crept over his face. " I remember our class trip…"

While Shigure dreamily remembered his class trip, everyone else gathered their things and headed off towards school. Luckily for them the rather cool weather they had been having lately had passed on and they were now greeted by warm sunshine. As they arrived at the school, the bright yellow buses were already lined up and waiting. Tohru found Miya standing off to the side of the crowd of people and walked over to her.

" Good morning!" she said happily.

" Morning Tohru, are you ready for the trip?" asked Miya.

" Oh yes, it's such nice weather to go camping!"

" OKAY CLASS LISTEN UP!" cried the teacher over top of the voices of the students.

" FIND A PARTNER TO SIT ON THE BUS WITH AND THEN LINE UP NEXT TO EACH OTHER!"

" Tohru want to sit together?" asked Miya.

" Well actually, I'm sorry but Yuki asked me this morning. I'm really sorry Miya,"

" I'll sit with you Miya," said Kyo as he walked up behind the two girls.

" Oh…uh thanks," Miya replied, her voice showing a hint of disappointment. They boarded the bus and sat down.

" Bet you're happy there's not a new moon tonight," said Kyo as he pulled his Discman out of his bag.

" Yeah, I wouldn't have wanted to miss this. I think it's going to be a lot of fun," replied Miya as she stared longingly out of the grimy bus window. The bus drove for about two hours till it reached its stop. Kyo had been listening to music all the way there so Miya didn't really have anyone to talk to. Tohru and Yuki had gotten stuck at the front of the bus so she could barely even see them. As everyone filed off the bus the students began to wander around taking in the sights.

" Ahhh the outdoors," sighed Miya as she raised her arms behind her head and stretched. " I just love camping. Being in the forest reminds me of the weekends I get to spend with my dad."

" Your dad lives in the forest?" asked Tohru, a little confused.

" Not really," Miya replied with a laugh. " It's kind of hard to explain really. You see my dad doesn't live here with us he lives somewhere else. Whenever I get to visit him we're always spending the nights sleeping under the stars in the forest. Sometimes we even get to stay in these really nice places in these villages we go to. My uncle Miroku has this way of getting us into anywhere we want to!"

" Wow, I'd love to meet your family some time," said Tohru.

" Do you want some help putting up your tent?" said Yuki as he walked up to where Tohru and Miya were standing. " This would be a really good spot for it."

" HEY! YUKI! HOW ABOUT SOME HELP? screamed Kyo from a few feet away. Yuki turned to look at Kyo as the orange haired boy began throwing about the things for their tent.

" IT'S BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO SHARE THIS DAMN TENT WITH YOU AND NOW YOU DON'T EVEN HELP ME PUT IT UP!"

Yuki walked back towards the angry cat and began to assemble the framework for their tent. Within moments the once desolate campground was covered in brightly coloured tents.

" Okay class, I need some help to get things started, I need a group to go get firewood, a group to get water and a group to help unpack the food," said their teacher.

" Tell her we'll get the firewood," said Miya to Tohru.

" We'll get the firewood!" cried Tohru proudly.

Tohru and Miya walked into the forest in search of the perfect wood to start the fire. Yuki had dragged Kyo along with them to help carry all the wood back to the campsite. They had been walking for only a few moments when Miya turned to face the group of three.

" Okay I think this tree would make great firewood, what do you think?" she asked.

" Yeah you're right," said Tohru looking at the tall tree that stood before them.

" Yeah it's great but what the hell are we going to cut it down with…our hands?" exclaimed Kyo.

Miya glared at him for a moment sending chills through Kyo's bones. Then she turned back to face the tree. " Yuki, make sure no one is around…is it safe?"

Yuki looked around in all directions. " I don't see anyone."

" Alright," Miya jumped up into the air and extended her hand outwards. A bright yellowish-green light appeared that resembled a whip. Miya swung the whip of light eight or nine times towards the tree and finally landed gracefully back on the ground with the whip disappearing back into her claws.

" Nice light show, but the tree's still stand-"

Before Kyo could finish his sentence the tree began to fall apart. All the pieces landed into a pile at the base of where the tree once stood.

" That should be enough for tonight don't you think?" asked Miya as she turned around to look at her friends. The other three stared at the young demon in awe.

" Where did you learn how to do that?" asked Tohru.

" My father helped me learn."

" Can he do that too?" asked Kyo.

" No, but my uncle can…I've never met him though."

They began to gather up the firewood and returned back to camp. The dark night sky slowly crept over the young campers as they sat around the fire. It was getting late and some of the students were retiring to their tents, Kyo included. He wanted to make sure he got into the tent before Yuki so he could take up as much room as possible. Before long everyone had retired to their tents and the teachers had put out the fire. Tohru was sleeping peacefully in her tent as Miya quietly unzipped the tent door and crawled out. She stood up and breathed in the cool night air. She felt a small rain drop land gently onto her nose. Nevertheless, she had decided to go for a walk, and some little amount of rain wasn't going to stop her.

As she made her way towards the nearby lake she gazed up at the stars. She would tell him tonight, she thought to herself. No not tonight, it would be far too soon. She had only just met him and if she told him how she felt she'd probably scare him away. She sighed heavily as she sat down on the beach overlooking the calm blue lake.

" Couldn't sleep?" asked a voice from behind her that caused Miya to jump.

" Yuki! Oh uh…no, I couldn't. I had a lot of things on my mind so I thought maybe a walk would help."

"Me too," Yuki replied. " Couldn't sleep that is."

" Oh," said Miya as she turned her gaze back to the lake.

" Would you like to go for a walk with me?" asked Yuki. Miya's eyes widened.

" I have a better idea," said Miya as she stood up.

The small rowboat glided across the lake gently parting the water as it went. As it was Miya's idea to borrow the boat, she had told Yuki that she would row, so instead he sat back and watched the stars as they began to be covered by dark clouds. Miya kept her eyes on Yuki as he sat quietly. He looks so troubled yet so peaceful, she thought to herself. Suddenly without warning the rain began to fall, hard. The two travelers looked for a place to take refuge. They had gone too far from shore to make it back in the teaming rain and the waves were beginning to pick up over the lake. They found an old wooden cabin on a small island and decided to dock the boat.

Miya stared out the cabin window as Yuki tried to make a fire in the old fireplace.

" Well, it doesn't look like we'll be able to get back till this rain lets up," said Miya sadly. It had been her idea to go for the boat ride and now they were stuck on some island. She reached up and undid the red ribbon tying her ears down. They popped up quickly and gave a quick flick. She noticed the room beginning to light up. She turned to see a fire burning brightly in the fireplace.

" Thanks Yuki. This really sucks doesn't it, this crazy mountain weather," she said laughing awkwardly. " This was my stupid idea and now look where it's gotten-"

" You must be cold," said Yuki cutting her off. " Come sit down near the fire."

Miya stared at Yuki for a brief moment then walked slowly over to the fireplace and sat herself down next to him.

" I'm impressed that you can make a fire like this, I mean we only had a couple of sticks and all," Miya said as she leaned back putting her hands on the floor for support.

" It's no big deal," replied Yuki looking over at her. As he did so, he felt his face glow hot. His face had gone bright red as he quickly turned away from Miya.

" What's wrong?" asked Miya as she looked down at herself. It didn't take long for her to get her answer. The rain had completely soaked the white blouse of her uniform making her pink bra clearly visible now. She gasped and wrapped her arms around herself. " Oh no! I-I'm so sorry."

Yuki looked back into her eyes, which were now welling up with tears. Miya felt her heart race; she wanted to kiss him so badly. His soft purple eyes were so beautiful she felt butterflies in her stomach. Was he going to lean in and kiss her? She thought in anticipation. She reached her hand over and placed it on top of his. She watched as his face began to flush pink. Poof!

" Yuki?" cried Miya staring down at the pile of clothes that lay before her. A tiny gray rat crawled out from the pile and stared up at her.

" Take my jacket. I uh…won't be needing it now," said the rat. " Can I explain this tomorrow?"

Miya nodded at the talking rat as she put Yuki's jacket on and laid down in front of the fire. The small rat curled up in its pile of clothes and fell asleep. Miya stared at the rat in awe; she had no idea what was going on or why Yuki had turned into a rat. She closed her eyes and soon felt herself drift off to sleep.

-----------------------------

" Where have you two been?" cried their teacher as she came across the two students walking back to the campsite.

" I-I'm sorry professor, but Yuki and I decided to go for a nature walk early this morning and we got a little lost. We're really very sorry," pleaded Miya.

" The bus is leaving, we'll discuss this when we get back to the school," said their teacher.

Miya sighed. " I'm sorry I got us in trouble Yuki."

' Don't worry about it. I had a nice time last night, besides, you saved me from having to share a tent with Kyo, so I'm grateful," replied Yuki smiling ever so sweetly at Miya. As they approached the bus they found Tohru and Kyo waiting for them.

" Where were you guys?" asked Kyo.

" I'm so glad you're both okay! I was so worried!" exclaimed Tohru.

" We went for a boat ride last night and got stranded in a cabin due to the rain. We were alright, there's no need to worry Tohru," answered Yuki.

" Why is she wearing your jacket? What did you do Yuki?" asked Kyo glaring at Yuki. Yuki responded by walking onto the bus and seating himself down.

" WHAT DID YOU DO?" screamed Kyo as he ran on the bus after him. Tohru looked apprehensively over at Miya.

" Nothing happened Tohru, we built a fire and fell asleep. That's all."

" Oh no! I didn't think you guys would have…I mean it's not like that…I just…" stuttered Tohru in defense. Miya walked onto the bus followed by Tohru and she sat herself down next to Kyo.

" What happened?" asked Kyo.

" Nothing," replied Miya. " Just drop it Kyo."

" No! I won't drop it till you tell me what happened!"

Miya raised her hand up in front of Kyo's face and flexed her claws. " I think you're going to drop it right now."

Kyo stared at her for a moment longer then, with a loud sigh, reached into his backpack and pulled out his Discman. Miya looked up towards the front of the bus to see Tohru talking with Yuki. She wondered how long she was going to have to wait till Yuki would explain everything to her, but getting another chance to spend more time with Yuki? She could hardly wait.
