Kenshin heard this last remark and couldn't keep from laughing. He was truly enjoying himself. The only thing that would make this trip better would be to climb up the rocky hill behind him, but he had a feeling that if he did that and survived, Ichiro would kill him himself. There was no guarantee of this tent lasting any length of time in this storm, but they couldn't go anywhere with Leo and Shuichi stuck at the foot of the hill. There was plenty of room in the tent for all of them, including Ichiro if he wanted to join them, but he used the "lack of available room" as an excuse to get back into the storm. He wandered over to Ichiro. "Got any ideas?" he bit his tongue from suggesting again that he climb down to help them.
"Yes I wanted to follow along the edge of the cliff with them but it'd be to fast of a pace for the girls to handle. I can't leave them here alone there isn't anyone responsible to watch over everything if I leave. Don't suggest yourself Kenshin cause your not its impossible for you to do everything good your luck is bound to run out and we cant afford anymore problems." Ichiro shrugged his bag off and pulled out a jacket.
"You keep that tent of yours from flying away I have something to keep me dry for awhile till I figure out something."
"Well, You could stay here with Chii and Ayame, and I could follow the path to help the guys get back here." Kenshin paused for a moment while his mind vividly depicted what Ichiro would do if left in a tent with two girls. "... Uh, in fact, if Chii doesn't mind, she could come with me. You know, like a buddy system." Ayame could handle herself, or more, kenshin wasn't worried if she couldn't... ((OOC: I know this is borderline, but I figure that kenshin would probably have at least noticed Ichiro staring at every girl that passed. If you want me to change it, I will.)
"No Kenshin I just said your not as good at everything like you think. Besides for all I know its an excuse just to get the ladies alone. How do I know you won't molest them. We stay here and hope they die I mean make it back up here on there own." Ichiro let that slip accidentally of course he wanted them to come back in one piece. He'd look bad if they didn't.
Kenshin caught the slip, but chose not to say anything. He was a bit disappointed that he wasn't allowed to go out alone into a ravaging storm with Chii, but even he had to admit that, while it sounded like fun, it probably wouldn't turn out quite how he would have wanted... "Well let's hope they make it back okay,' he said aloud, "for their sake, of course..."
"Yes of course the world could do with more idiots like them in this world." Ichiro sighed. "Sometimes I feel so alone." he stated looking up at the sky.
'You're not alone, you're surrounded by your peers.' Kenshin bit his tongue. It would be so easy to say, and he really, really wanted to, but he figured that it was the last thing Ichiro needed. So instead, he ignored the comment and said, "Don't worry, they'll be alright, I'm sure. I don't know too much about Shiuchi, but Leo could certainly handle himself when given no other choice. They'll be fine, but we won't if we stay here. This tent isn't going to last very long, its aluminum." As if to prove his point, a corner of the tent dislodged itself from the stone that was holding it down. Kenshin ran to re-weight it, then returned to Ichiro. "We need to make for that cave. It's not too far, I don't think, maybe a hundred meters, we could make it." There were many reasons to say this. For one thing, it was true, but that was of little consequence. Ichiro needed something to keep his mind occupied, if Kenshin was any judge, and on top of that, Kenshin was getting restless...
"Do you think it would be safe to make for it I mean those two will be looking for us here." Toriyama answered as he scratched his brain for what to do.
Kenshin hadn't thought of that. "They know we were heading toward the cave to begin with, they would probably assume that we went there. Plus, I think the cave might be on their route to us. They did go that way, didn't they? We could tie one of the blankets to the cave door like a flag so that they know to look there when they pass. What do you think?"
"The cave is ought of way remember we were originally heading to it and they are most likly backtracking to were we first got on the ledge so they are going the opposite way." Ichiro said. "Now didn't anyone tell you not to question your Sempai's orders?"
"Actually, no," said Kenshin thoughtfully. "Nobody ever did actually tell me. Everyone just kind of assumed I would pick that up as I go." He paused for a minute in thought, then said, "Well, in this," he indicated the storm, "we're all equal if we die. So while we're waiting for our tent to fly away, tell me, how did you get to be so..." He sought for the perfect word. Then he sought for a less insulting word, "bossy?"
"Its Japan you better get used to Kohai and Sempai fast cause they even use the system at work. As for me being bossy I was just taught how to be by my family and years of running schools."
Ichiro smiled, "If your trying to suck up so I make you succeed me as next year's class president just know flattery doesn't work with me especially compared to Rika-chan's breasts."
"Yeah I know about 'the system', but what good does it do us two inches from disaster?" Kenshin made a face, "And why would I want to be class president, that job sucks, Rika could have it." He paused realizing what he just said and to whom he just said it. "I, uh, mean, that I um, don't think I could ever take your place in such an... honorable position."
"Just so you know my old system kicked ass and as soon as my tortur..I mean interrogation room opens again and student court resumes it will be to cool."
Ichiro gave Kenshin a wicked smile. "And as for this position sucking I just gave you a weeks detention for whatever I put on the write up papers not to concerned right now. So how sucks now huh? Okay I'll be fair and if you leave me alone for the rest of the trip, and not lose me anymore points by doing stupid acts, I'll shorten it to only one evening. Sound good?"
