"What do you mean by we cannot go any further, Hikaru?" Tamaki yells to him. He makes his way through the mud and stands by Hikaru.

"I mean... Look. Straight ahead." Hikaru points ahead to the path. Tamaki and Haruhi look ahead. They see the trail, which is under knee-high level water.

"How will we get back now?" Haruhi asks. She is still on Tamaki's back with the music in her ears.

"We could go back the other way and make a circle around the camp, in order to get back. But... there's no promises that the path will be any better than this one." Hikaru sighs. Haruhi can't understand their words clearly because of the music and the rain, but she can tell by his expression, that he has different suggestion.

"Okay then let's turn around and head back." Tamaki turn around and turns around. He takes a step in the mud and gets stuck. "Gah! My foot is stuck! Hikaru~ help meee~!" Tamaki whines.

"Oh come on... you're fine! Just loosen your foot or whatever and get out of there." Hikaru says with an attitude.

"But I can't Hikaru~!" Tamaki whines more.

"Ugh..." Hikaru sigh and goes over to him and helps him out of the mud. "Okay! Now let's go! The faster we can get there, the better!" Hikaru sort of barks at him.

"I know that." Tamaki replies. A light bulb goes off in his head and he turns to Hikaru as they're walking in the muddy water path. " Hikaru! Didn't we bring a boat or raft or something!?" Tamaki asks him.

"Uhh... I don't know. And even if we did, it's probably all washed away, like the rest of our stuff. We could check our camp though." Hikaru says looking forward, with his arm in front of his face, blocking the rain.

"I think that brought umbrellas, if that helps." Haruhi replies to Tamaki's question. Her eyes are open, but she has her head down on Tamaki's back, to block out the rain.

"Good thinking!" Tamaki replies happily.

"They're probably washed away tough..." Hikaru says. " Let's just keeping walking for now...we'll check when we get there." He finishes with a ticked-off tone.

They walk for about another 15 minutes in the muddy trail before they're able to see their camp. The water has risen higher, since they've met.

"There! I see our tents!" Tamaki speeds up through the water, towards their tents.

"Don't run, Tamaki, you might fall." Haruhi warns him.

Tamaki is breathing heavy as he runs to the camp. When they get a clear picture of their stuff, they see it is flooded badly with water in the tents as well.

"Aww man! Our stuff!~! Look! Some of the stuff we've left out isn't here anymore!" Tamaki whines.

"Relax... some stuff might not be wet." Hikaru tells him.

"You can put me down now, Tamaki. I want to check out Mei's and my tent." Haruhi tells Tamaki.

"Oh- okay." Tamaki bends down and lets her off.

"The water is freezing! Will you two be okay walking in it for a while? You might get sick." Haruhi says as she steps into knee-high muddy water.

"We'll be okay. Don't worry." Tamaki smiles to her.

"Okay... but I don't want either of you to get sick, hurt, etcetera." Haruhi tells him.

"We'll be fine." Tamaki says again.

"Okay..." Haruhi says and walks towards her tent.

Haruhi walks over to her tent and opens it a crack, at the top. She peeks in and sees the tent is underwater as much as outside.

'Dammit! Everything is soaked! Where's my bag?' Haruhi thinks and she walks in the tent. She steps on something.

'What was that?' She looks down. 'Oh... it's my bag.' She picks up the under-water bag and opens it.

'Umbrella... umbrella...where did I put you?' she searches through the bag for a second, moving around wet clothes, until she grabs an umbrella.

'Great! I found one! Now I'll check Mei's stuff to see if there's anything I can save for her.' Haruhi goes over to where Mei's bag was and finds it. She opens the soaked bag and looks in and searches in the bag. 'I don't think there's anything I can save...oh wait! Her IPod! It's water proof, she told me!' Haruhi grabs the IPod and exits the text.

"Did you two manage to get anything!?" She yells out, closing the tent behind her.

Tamaki walks out of his tent, into the pouring rain, and goes over to Haruhi. The water sparkling on his face and hair.

" I couldn't find anything salvageable...Not even Kuma-chan!" * Tamaki sighs.

Hikaru steps out of his tent and goes to them. He has pants, that he's holding close to not get them wet, and an extra umbrella in his hands.

"Well... I found an umbrella in Kaoru's bag and a pair of pants that were hung up. They're dry." He says.

"What about the cooler? There's food in there? We could eat some and then head back. Where is it?" Tamaki asks.

"I think the sempai's put it in their tent so no animals could get it or something. The food might be spoiled and wet though." Hikaru answers.

"I'll check their tent then." Tamaki says and he walks over to Mitskuni and Takashi's tent.

"Here." Hikaru hands Haruhi the pants and she takes out one ear bud to hear him. "Put them on... you have shorts on." He tells her and looks away from her and blushes.

"Oh thanks, Hikaru." She replies. "I'll figure out how and where to put these on." She smiles.

Tamaki peeks his head out of the tent and looks at them quickly then goes back into the tent. He listens to the rain ,that's bouncing off the tent, and the thunder. He opens the cooler and looks in it. Most of the food at the bottom is wet and spoiled, but on the very top above everything else, Tamaki sees a few apples in a plastic bag.

"Hey guys!" Tamaki pops his head out of the tent and arms them to come over. "Most of the food is bad but the apples are still good!" He shouts with a smile.

"Anything else!?" Hikaru asks him.

"Umm...No." Tamaki looks around the tent. He only sees the cooler and their bags underwater.

Haruhi and Hikaru make their way to the tent and step inside to get out of the rain.

"Here." Opens the bag in front of them. They both take one and start to eat it.

"We should start walking after we eat though... it's going to get dark soon."Hikaru says staring down at the water. "Did you find a flash light by any chance?" He asks them.

"If either of us did, we would've said that." Tamaki replies. He looks around the tent and sees two blankets in the corner on top of Mitskuni's and Takashi's rolled up sleeping bags and pillows.

Hikaru sighs and rolls his eyes. Tamaki goes to the corner and picks up the blankets.

"Hey look!" Tamaki picks up the blankets. "We can use these to stay warm and to block out the rain!" He smiles.

"Great. I'll let you two use them though... I don't need it. Hikaru gave me pants and plus I have a sweatshirt on anyways, you two need them more than me." Haruhi tells them.

"Speaking of which, you should change into the pants before it gets any colder and you freeze." Hikaru tells her. He throws the rest of his apple outside of the tent. "Let's get out so she can change, Tono." Hikaru tells him.

"Okay." Tamaki and Hikaru leave the tent. Haruhi takes a minute to put on her pants carefully not to get them too wet.

Haruhi comes out of the tent after she puts on the pants. Tamaki and Hikaru are standing in the water waiting, looking around the camp. Hikaru sees her come out.

"You're done? Great. Now Let's go." Hikaru says impatiently and starts to walk off.

"I think he's eager to go...anyway let's go. It's going to get dark soon." Tamaki says to Haruhi. He bends down to give her another piggy back ride.

Haruhi gets on and they start to walk through the cold muddy water in the rain again.
