Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Bleach

Author's note: I just want to say thanks to Real-Kill for giving me the idea about Rukia and the matches and to all my reviewers... On with the story!

Just what he needed (not exactly)

"We'll have to walk from here to our camping ground. While we are, I want you to take as many pictures of flowers and trees as you can. You will identify the plants when we reach the camping ground. The camp facilitators will help you," Said the bespectacled Science teacher. "Oh and the student who can identify the most plants will win a prize which will be given out at the end of this trip."

"Yahoo! A game! And prizes! YAY! Tatsuki-chan, let's walk together," Orihime linked arms with Tatsuki. "'Hime! Can't I walk with you?" Chizuru ran towards Orihime and Tatsuki. "Buzz off, you pervert!" Tatsuki kicked her in the stomach.

"Ichigo! Think fast!" Keigo threw the tent at the orange-haired shinigami. Ichigo caught it, fortunately. Damn, this is heavy! I have to carry this stupid friggin' tent and my backpack!

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

Rukia was having a hard time with her tent. "This tent is so heavy!" Keigo skipped towards her. "Kuchiki-san, want me to help you carry that tent?" he offered. "Thank you Asano-kun! You're very nice."

"WHAT?" Ichigo was fuming. "OI Keigo! If you wanna carry a tent that bad, carry THIS one!" Ichigo pointed to the tent that he was dragg- carrying.

"You lost on our game. You carry that one." Ichigo swore under his breath. Keigo was starting to irritate him.

"Kuchiki! Kurosaki! Asano! Get a move on!" Everyone else was already walking. "If you don't pay attention you will get lost in this thick forest," said Ms Mayuki.

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

Almost everyone was taking pictures as the group was walking through the secondary forest. All except Rukia and Ichigo. He wasn't interested in the prizes. In fact, he wasn't even interested in the camping trip itself. As for Rukia, she still has a very vague impression on that camera.

"Kurosaki-kun, can you help me? I think it's broken."

"What is?"

"My k-k-ka…" she said, trying to remember.

"Camera."

"Yeah! That is" She pulled him a bit away from the group. "Ichigo, you still haven't taught me how to use this ka-me, ka-me…"

"Camera! What's so damn hard to say camera!" He was drowsy since he didn't sleep in the bus. (Well, not after he had that dream, that is.) And he was getting more and more tired carrying his backpack and the tent.

"You didn't have to yell, you know! I'm right here! So anyway, teach me how to use this thing. I wanna win that prize."

"I can't believe you actually want that damn prize. If the school's providing it, it must've been something cheap and inferior like an eraser or a penc-"

"Look! Are you gonna teach me or not?" Her hands are on her hips "Or do I have to ask Asano-kun to help," She was using that fake schoolgirl voice that made Ichigo twitch.

"Okay fine! All you have to do is just press the button on top whil-" She pressed it. In front of his face. The flash blinded him for a couple of seconds. " AH! I meant when you're aiming at a damn tree!" Ichigo said as he rubbed his amber eyes. Then he deleted the unfocused, half picture of him.

"You didn't say it." She pouted. "You cut me off. Just take that stupid tree's picture already!" He snapped, clearly exasperated

She took the picture. "Oh look! There's a pretty flower over there! C'mon lets go!"

"Wh-th- Oi! Rukia let GO!" she tightened her grip on Ichigo's wrist. "Come. On"

"…" Ichigo opened his mouth and closed it again; decided he was waaay too exhausted to argue. She took a picture of the purple orchid. "Lookie! A fruit tree!"

She went there, pullin-no, dragging- Ichigo. She photographed the tree and photographed the fruits at least thrice. Then she saw yet another plant and dragged Ichigo away. This happened for five minutes straight. Photograph, found a plant, drag Ichigo. Photograph, found a plant, drag Ichigo.

Then, finally she said, "Okay! I think I have enough pictures from here already." She looked around for more pretty (in her opinion) things to photograph. "Yup. Enough pictures…"

"More than enough. Come on let's get back to the group" Then he stopped dead in his tracks. Rukia bumped into him. "Oi, Ichigo, something wrong?"

"YEA THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG! THE WHOLE GROUP ISN'T HERE!"

"What? Let me see" She pushed Ichigo out of the way. "W-w-we're lost?" she stammered.

"YEA WE'RE LOST! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"

"Wha? Why is this my fault?"

"You dragged me all the way here!"

"Well… you didn't teach me how to use this, this thing!" She waved the camera in front of his face.

"Damn! I'm lost in the middle of this stupid forest and I'm stuck with you!"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He took no notice of her and started to trace back his tracks. "Okay first we went right…" He walked to the right. Rukia followed him in silence. "…Then you saw that flower so we went left, right, right-" The turned left then right and then right again "Or was it right, right, left? ARGH! NO! It was straight, left, left…"

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

"Miss Mayuki! Kuchiki-san and Kurosaki-kun aren't here!" Orihime was the first to notice. Everybody else was too busy taking pictures.

"What! They aren't?" She started to count the students. There were two students less. "Oh my! You're right, Inoue! What are we going to do? We've just reached the camping grounds. Should we go back and try to find them? AH! Mr Hiroshi!"

Ms. Mayuki frantically asked the camp facilitators to have a search party.

"I'm sorry but it's too late to be searching. Even if we did, it'll be getting pretty dark soon and we won't be able to see a thing." Said Mr Hiroshi, one of the facilitators. "Just hope that they both are together. And safe. We'll hold the search party tomorrow, first thing in the morning."

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

Now they we're worse than they started. They reached a riverbank. "Wait, we didn't even saw a river just now, so it was right, straig-"

"Shut the hell up already! I. Will. Not. Walk another step! Now we're even more lost! And it's starting to get dark!" Rukia said.

"Okay so we'll camp here for the night and try to find our way back. I'm so relieved that I brought this damn tent and my backpack when you dragged me," He threw her the tent. She caught it in surprise. "You set up that tent while I get some firewood."

"But I don't know how am I supposed to set this up!"

"So read the instructions, baka!"

"I am not a-" She stopped since he had left her. "Baka Ichigo," She tried to set it up, but she got confused. So, she read the instructions and got even more puzzled than before. She threw her arms up and yelled, "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Just then Ichigo came with an arm full of wood.

"Didn't I tell you to set that up?" He glared at her

"Yeah, it was hard and the instructions gave me a headache."

I'm getting a headache taking care of you, he murmured to himself

"I have to do everything here!" He rummaged his backpack "What's this? First aid kit? Dad must've put this in here. AH! Found it!" He threw her a box of matches. "Light up the fire okay?" And he started to set up the tent.

What's this? Safety matches. Wind-proof and water-proof. If this is what humans use to light up a fire then how do they put it out? Rukia slide it open. Sticks? Small tiny sticks? How can I light a fire with these?

'Friction will cause heat. To get friction, rub to sticks together,' she remembered what Ms Mayuki taught her about friction two weeks ago. "So, I rub this tiny sticks together?" she said to herself.

Rukia started to rub those matches together and ended up snapping almost all of the matches. She gave up and asked Ichigo.

"Ichigo, how do you use this?" Ichigo stopped setting the tent and looked up. "Please say this is an awful joke!" He was really frustrated. Her expression told that it wasn't a joke.

"GAH! Stupid baka Rukia! Can't even light up a damn fire!" He said that loudly while lighting the bonfire.

"I. Am. Not a BAKA!" She hit him on the head. "If you're not then why can't you even light up a damn friggin' fire?" Then he continued setting the tent. She just glared at him in silence.

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

At last, the tent was set up and the fire was burning beautifully. Rukia and Ichigo was sitting, Indian-style around the fire, warming themselves up.

"Sorry," Rukia said suddenly, breaking the deafening silence.

"Huh?"

"Sorry that I couldn't help."

"It's okay. If I didn't do it we'll be shivering and sleeping in the dust. Thank Kami-sama that I lost in that Rock, Paper, Scissors game with Keigo. If not we'll-" Suddenly he thought of something.

"Wait! Keigo took your tent! That means, that m-means we're g-gonna, gonna s-s-" He stuttered.

"Sleep in the same tent. So?" Her face was completely innocent.

"Aren't you embarrassed to be sleeping with a guy?" His cheeks were burning and it's not because of the fire.

She remembered about her life in Rukongai. "No."

"Then I'll sleep outside you can sleep in the tent."

"No way! You build this tent you have the right to sleep in it! I should be the one sleeping outside."

"What if there are animals like snakes or hedgehogs?"

"Exactly. You can't sleep outside."

He did anyway. But around 11.30 p.m., he went in because of the rain. Inside, he can't sleep. How can you sleep peacefully and I can't? He twisted and turned. In the end sleep overtook him.
