This story isn't part of the Bleach plot and is basically like a filler. You don't have to read it for it holds no significance to the plot, but I would appreciate it if you did take the time.

Also, side stories have no place in the plot so they will be placed randomly through out the actual stories.

(This is a random little side story that we decided to make. We may make more side stories later.)

I wake up with the sun shining on my face. A quick glance at my alarm clock tells me that I actually woke up an hour earlier then I had to. It was spring break so I didn't have any school, but me and a few friends had arranged to go camping for a few days or so. We were leaving today, I already had everything packed. We were going to meet by the park. I didn't know exactly who was going on the trip, other than me and Machi, we had been together when Michiru invited us. I quickly do my morning routine and go to the kitchen for breakfast. "I should have a riceball or two somewhere..." I mumble looking through the fridge and cupboards. I finally find them and plop down on the couch munching on them contently. I hear my phone ring so I pick it up quickly, "OK, it's just a call, not a hollow," I think, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey Sazuki!" I hear Michiru say on the other line. "I just need to double check that you're coming today. I don't remember if you said you were or not..." she trails off, slightly embarrassed.

I laugh a bit and say, "Yeah, I'm coming. I'm already packed, so I'll see you soon."

"Great!" she exclaims happily, "I'll see ya soon! Bye!" she says as she hangs up.

"Bye," I say, and also hang up. Grabbing my bag and soul candy, you never know when a hollow might show up, I head out the door and towards the park. When I get to the park it looks like I was the first one there, so I look for a bench and take a seat. A quick look around reveals Machi lying on some grass. "Where's Michiru?" I question.

"I dunno," Machi replies boredly.

I look towards the street where a bus was parked, "Well if she doesn't get here soon the bus will leave without her," I state, "And she's the one who invited us in the first place..."

Soon after I say that, Michiru runs up to us, "Hey guys, sorry I'm so late," she apologizes.

I turn towards her and ask, "Anyone else coming?"

She shakes her head, "Uh, not that I can think of. Everyone else said they couldn't make it..."

"Well then, let's go," I say, picking up my bag and heading for the bus. Machi and Michiru follow.

"This'll be fun...." Machi says, with her I find it hard to tell if she's being sarcastic or not. I just nod my head in agreement. We then both find a seat and sit down.

Michiru does the same and says, "Yeah! I hope so!" After a long and boring bus ride we finally arrive at an area before a forest, with several tents and a wooden building that seems to be where you can rent out a campsite.

"Yay! We're finally here!" exclaims Machi happily as she jumps out of her seat and runs off the bus.

I stand up and stretch, "The bus ride was like two hours..." I complain as I grab my bag and exit the bus. Michiru follows behind quietly.

"So... where's our campsite?" Machi asks, "And are we staying in a tent? Cause I didn't bring a tent...."

"Now that she mentions it...." "Yeah, me neither..." I say, slightly annoyed at myself.

"Yeah, we're staying in a tent!" Michiru exclaims happily, she then notices our expressions and quickly says, "Oh! Don't worry, I brought the tent though!" I breathe a sigh of relief, "At least someone's prepared..." I think.

"I hope it's big..." I say, slightly worried.

"Of course it is! Haven't you seen some of those huge tents that fit up to like, 10 or 20 people?" Michiru asks. "Now that she mentions it... I never have heard of them... I guess a year in the world of the living isn't enough to learn everything about them," I conclude looking around.

"So... Anyone know how to set up a tent?" I ask hopefully. The look on both their faces clearly says they don't.

"I don't know," Machi says, and just as I lose hope she adds, "But we can ask the people at the front desk to help us."

"Hope so," I say as I head towards the building. I walk through the doors and go straight up to the desk since there was no line. "Hey um... where are we supposed to set up? And anyone know how to set up a tent?" I ask the girl at the desk.

"What name are you under?" she asks as she takes out a list and begins searching through it.

"Oh crap.... Well, since Michiru's the one who invited us, I guess it should be under her name right?" I debate in my head and then finally answer uncertainly, "Michiru?"

Apparently my logic was correct, "Ah yes, you're over there," she says pointing towards the start of the forest. She then hands me a map and ushers me away. "Umm thanks?" I say and I leave the building.

Once outside I realize something, "Hey wait! How do we set up a tent?!" I yell towards the building, but she made no sign of having heard me. I sweatdrop, "Oh great..." I think as I walk back to the others.

"Uh.... so you find out?" Machi questioned uncertainly, I bet she heard me yell at the building, "They gonna come with us and set it up for us?" I shake my head.

"Oh, I see..." Michiru says, a bit depressed.

"So uh.... This is normal right? We'll figure it out ourselves, right?" Machi says uncertainly.

"You're starting to make me nervous," I say. "I'm worried, that we may have to leave, and we just got here," I think, slightly worried. I put my hands in my pockets and feel the map the girl had given me earlier. "Oh by the way!" I say and I take the map out of my pocket, "Here's a map! To our campsite!"

"Ok, you lead!" Machi says, and ushers me to start going.

"Uh... yeah!" Michiru quickly agrees, "That might be a good idea! For now..." I raise an eyebrow and give her a questioning look, "What does she mean, for now?"

I try my best to follow the map, I'm honestly not that great with directions or maps. "This is the right way.... Right?" I question uncertainly, fearing I was leading them the wrong way.

"You better not be misreading...." Machi informs me, strengthening my fear. I sweatdrop slightly and smile what I hope to be reassuringly.

I keep "following" the map until I spot what appears to be an abandoned cabin in the middle of a thick grove of trees. "Hey look!" I call to them, "Can we sleep here instead?" A tent didn't sound too bad, but I prefer a cabin, less exposure to the elements.

Michiru speaks for the first time in a while, "I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, what if nothing works in it, or it's haunted!"

"Can't be that bad," Mach tries to reason with her, " Then again it could, if it's abandoned." I sweatdrop, 'That really helped Machi....'

"What if it's infested by bugs?!" Michiru exclaims, showing a funny face in-between disgust, fear and worry.

"If nothing works then it'll be like a tent, and who cares if it's haunted?" I explain to Michiru, shooting Machi a meaningful look. 'If the cabin happened to be haunted, me or Machi would konso the spirit.'

(If there's something said in between ' ' then it's Sazuki's thinking.)

"Yeah! Who cares if it's haunted?" Machi agrees, giving me a ridiculous wink. "BUT WHAT IF IT'S INFESTED WITH POISONOUS BUGS?!" she screams as I sweatdrop. 'I guess I'll just have to try harder to make then sleep in the cabin tonight.'

"Well if it was...." Michiru starts, "we could die." I sweatdrop at her "positive" thinking and start rummaging through my bag.

"I have bug spray..." I state as I pull out three cans of it, somehow I knew something like this would happen.

"We better hope it works...." Machi says. 'Way to lift up the mood....' "Well Sazuki if we die, you are to blame...." she says. 'Does that mean we're sleeping in the cabin?'

I walk up to the cabin and peer inside through the window, I then open the door and step inside. "It's quite clean for an abandoned cabin...." I state, looking around. There were no cobwebs or anything. It was almost like the cabin was still in everyday use.

Machi had followed behind me with Michiru, "Hey it is..." Machi agrees to my earlier statement. It takes a bit of deciding but we finally figure out who gets what bed. There was one bunk bed and then another single bed. I got the top bunk, Michiru was in the bottom bunk and Machi wanted the single bed.

I get an uneasy feeling once I get up into my bunk, "There's something off about this cabin...." I mumble, mostly to myself. We all unpacked what we would need, changed, and got comfy in our beds. We talked till late into the night, mostly telling ghost stories. I silently laughed at a lot of them, some didn't even have anything to do with ghosts, and the ones that did were quite strange. "That Click Click Slide story is weird.... Poor girl though...." I say, I know I would be pissed off if I got cut in half for no reason. Machi questions us if we would ever cut her in half while she was getting the mail like what happened to the girl in the story.
