[OOC: Openish =p ]
Nature, it was a laughable attempt at getting to go camping. Cael had examined the bus as well as the camp zone prior to the excavation of this trip and it would seem as though the Hikari's hadn't spared any expense to make sure that this trip was entirely too safe. In fact he'd venture to guess that this was similar to their last expose, just another show of strength that their prestige and money gave them.
Cael showed up nonetheless, he always did look forward to messing up the status quo of individuals such as these. A pair of jeans and a black tee would be his attire. As for a small baggie of extra clothes, a swiss army knife, water bottle, and a rope. It was some of the barest necessities and probably made him a fair share lighter than a few others who seemed to bring everything but the kitchen sink.
Stepping onto the bus the boy would make sure to head towards the back and lay out wavering on near sleep. He'd faintly heard something about partners and personally hoped he'd nab a hot one for the trip. But then again he was leaving it all up to chance. Kicking up his feet and leaning into his bag Cael would fall asleep for the trip.

Camping.....
Really?
Azura had to look twice at the flier she had been given when she was leaving school a few days ago. It wasn't exactly what she had been expecting when she signed up for this mission, not when it came to high school and all that good nonsense. She was supposed to go to class, beat up kids, watch them, judge them and possibly even have to endure some stupid dance or football game or something. NOT pack up for a weekend long trip to go camping with a bunch of hormonal teenage boys and prissy, whiny girls.
In fact, she had tried to get out of it, but the heads of the organization had insisted that she go. Something about being able to observe the students in a more natural setting or some bullshit...she honestly had not paid attention past the "You have to" comment which had come forth from their mouths. She had seen no point in it.
So, here she was. Her usual attired cast aside for something more fitting of what she had found on the internet when she researched the world "Camping." ...A pair of jeans and a white t-shirt along with a pair of hiking boots and a backpack. Yup, she looked the part, which sooooo did not mean that she fit it, but whatever...she would adapt. She was good at that.
She had packed a few basic items, opting for the whole "If I get lost in the wilderness I don't want to have to lug around ten million pounds of useless" style. A water bottle, a few protein bars, her sleeping bag, pocket knife, and of course sunscreen...because lets face it, Azura was not sun friendly. But, aside from that, she didn't bring anything else. She figured this couldn't be too dangerous because all research on this Hikari kid suggested that both he and his Father liked to show off with their money and flashy things...suggesting that they would pick a place that was as far from being nature as possible while still keeping with the spirit of camping.
Climbing onto the bus, she would be stopped by one of the teachers as she was about to take her seat in the middle of the bus. The woman, taller than Azura, would look down at her with a slight smile on her lips as she motioned toward the back of the bus. "Would you be a dear and go ahead and sit back with your partner in the back?"
Azura shifting to look back around toward the area in which the woman motioned, her eyes widening a bit as she turned to look back at the woman. "You have to be kidding me..." A slightly pleading look given to the woman as she debated on leaving the bus right now. Cael Seran was not exactly who she wanted to be stuck with all weekend. Not that she had anything against the guy, just that she had heard plenty about him since their initial meeting and yeah...she was worried about having to fend off his hands all weekend.
Either way, she would groan softly and nudge past the woman as she moved out of the way, shaking her head. Azura's attention on the floor now as she moved to the back and took a seat in the back opposite his own. She may have been his partner, but that didn't mean she had to share a seat with him...Besides...he was asleep. No need to wake him.

Asleep. Cael was a very light sleeper so he felt her lithe form take to the position opposite him. He may have been drinking but he did remember the familiar accent of a stare. Enough so was the memory of this moment however initially fleeting it had been Cael managed to draw forth a small grin at the corners of his cheeks.
"We meet again..."
A teasing tone letting out a low rumble of his throat suggesting that he might even simply laugh. Letting his lids flutter a brief moment they'd part and look her up and down trailing slowly from her boots up her thigh before locking in on her eyes.
"Seems you and I are in for a devious weekend."
Damn he wished he'd have packed some condoms and booze. A small snicker at the back of his throat before shaking his head and leaning back to let his eyes close slowly once again, this time extending his feet outwards before him.

Azura would mentally groan as he woke, apparently not having been as deep asleep as she had initially thought. She didn't have anything against the guy, considering she hadn't spent any real time with him, so therefore she was not about to judge him as she had all the other students...but based on what she had heard of him, she was not expecting him to be judged innocent. But then so very few had been.
"Cael was it?" That same soft smile curling onto her lips as she settled her backpack in by her feet and then reached up to softly brush her fiery locks over her shoulder and out of the way. No hint of anything but that soft spoken, gentle nature in her tone.
As he spoke of a "devious" weekend, she would allow that smile to shift into a grin, if just barely a small chuckle escaping her as she leaned back into her seat and shifted to fold her arms across her chest, just beneath her breasts. "Oh, I am certain it will be interesting, if nothing else. Plenty of time to get to know one another though...." Which in her world meant plenty of time to see if she should judge him innocent, or mark him as guilty for punishment later on, even if she was the only one that knew the true meaning of her words.

"It is..."
That same smirk still managing to light up his face even with his eyes closed away. Her shift in position probably would have prompted a response for him if he'd been watching but all the same a measure of patience would make out what he was looking forward to all the more. Yet again all he could think of was yet another whiney girl who couldn't handle the great outdoors.
Having sized her up and saw her bag he could draw two conclusions about her. Either Azura was drastically underestimating the great outdoors, or she was quite experienced in dealing with them.
"Hah! You say that like you've got something in mind."
Cael wasn't sure to be honest what she meant by it. He was almost certain that it had something to do with his stigma of getting around and her simply being sarcastic and keeping her distance. But even still he could work with that, it just took a bit more patience. In the end none of it mattered. Cael got what he wanted.
*Pfttt*
The bus would throttle to a start and kick off to a rough straddle kicking up the students in their seats before it hitched into go.

She nodded as he confirmed his name, not having forgotten it, but not wanting him to think that she remembered due to some desire to be with him like all the other girls of the school. As his eyes shifted to her bag, she would glance at it herself, though she said nothing. She had never been in the outdoors for very long, but the truth was, Azura could adapt and handle more than what she appeared to be able to. Just a part of being what she was and living the life she had led.
"Hmm? Oh no, nothing in mind, though I am certain it will be interesting just the same. You have quite the reputation around school, though I have to admit I am curious to see if there is more behind that sexually supercharged persona you put forth for the world to see." If he was anything like he had behaved in the gym that day, she doubted she would find any redeeming qualities about him this weekend, but she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Though this weekend would be the final judgment she would pass upon him, his final shot to prove to her that he was worth more than being marked as guilty. Which, in reality, Azura was not hasty to judge people as such, she hated it so.
Leaning down to tuck her bag into a more secure position, she would be caught off guard by the bus suddenly starting up, catching her at an awkward angle and causing her to fall to the side just slightly which in turn caused her to fall partially into him. An act that got her to blush just slightly before quickly pulling back and righting herself, red locks falling in a bit of disarray over her face from the suddenness of her movements and quickly being scooped back by little fingers as they pushed it back over her head once more. "Oops, sorry about that. Bus caught me off guard." That same little smile given in his direction before she would lean back into her seat and rest her hands upon her lap, tongue idly brushing over her lips before she would sigh softly, not a huge fan of long bus rides...not in the slightest.

Hmph
Cael would manage to stiffle a cocky expression of distaste at her words. As true as they had been he didn't like getting solely that reputation of putting out a lot. He prefered himself more as a suave master of women, and a fiery fighter. Cael would have to surmise however that he'd have to live with it for the time being until he made a significant difference.
Tucking his arms across his chest he'd reposition himself to get a little bit more comfortable expecting this to be a long trip, or rather one with a judging gaze cast his way. *Bump*
The jump in the bus would knock Azura to a misangle and onto him if even only just partially. Cael would act instinctually springing his arms loose and grasping her outwards with both arms. He didn't act concerned but the instantaneous look would shift onto his face.
"You alright?"
Cael would look over her a faux sense of concern although a tad bit of it real.

She had to admit she was a bit taken back by his hands shooting out to steady her. In fact, she was so caught off guard that she would open her mouth to speak only to have nothing come out, blinking a bit before finally shaking her head to snap herself out of it. "Y..Yeah...I am fine." A small laugh given at her own clumsiness before she would slowly pry herself from within his grasp. A soft blush forming upon her cheeks as she somewhat nervously tucked her hair back behind her ears and turned to once more lean back in her seat.
Though as she did this, she could not help but turn her eyes toward him one last time. Not a glance that held any form of judgement in it, but instead one that was coy and almost bashful in some ways. However, it also did not seem as though she were checking him out either, but instead like she was genuinely taken by his small act of kindness, however fake his concern might have been. Regardless, the gesture was still nice.
Settling back in her seat, she would place her hands within her lap, little fingers softly twisting about one another, clearly anxious about something, which if one had to guess would be the closed in, tight space of the bus itself since nothing else really could be an issue just yet. So, it was really no surprise when she shifted within her seat to face him, to try and distract herself, one leg curling into the seat as the other foot remained upon the floor. Softly her head would lay against the back of the seat, hazel eyes once more cast upon him as she watched him for a moment. Again, she was not judging him, but instead she seemed to be looking at him as if trying to figure something out. "Since we are stuck on this bus for awhile..Do you mind if I ask you something?" Her tone still as soft and gentle as ever, genuinely asking if she could ask him a question instead of saying it and not waiting on a reply from him like so many people did these days.

Cael tried not to linger on her, eyes or otherwise as she bashfully collected herself. It was really cute in fact how genuine it was. There were so many girls that tried faking this sort of aspect, the clumsiness, the cute flirtatious attempts but even he was caught off guard to an extent. Shaking his head the boy would avert his shoulders to look forward crossing his arms over his chest once more.
As his eye lids dampered and began fading to darkness she'd break his composure. Hmmm? Shifting slowly to still linger in this sleeping state of sorts before leaning on on his shoulder and lifting his lids to reveal the emerald hues.
"Sure... gimme your best shot."
He was curious but all curiosity had its limitations.

She would look at him as he began to close his eyes, making her almost regret having spoken up and bothering him. Though when his head turned toward her and those gorgeous emerald eyes looked upon her own she would find herself blushing once more and momentarily forgetting that she was going to ask him something. Another slight shake of her head to pull herself out of her little daze before she would manage to compose herself enough to ask her question.
"I...Is it true what they say? A..About the girls and you...um...you know?" This being the part where she should have been able to say "Do you really fuck that many girls around the school?" or something similar, but as with any time she actually tried to talk about sex, when she wasn't acting, she found herself unable to actually pose the words and instead blushing profusely and averting her eyes for a brief moment. Though of course, no sooner did she do this than she would rush to try and justify the question and end up rambling instead.
"I mean..I know that it is none of my business, and I really shouldn't be asking but its just that the way people talk it makes you sound so .....bad...and I really don't think you are that bad. I mean I could be wrong, but usually I am pretty good at judging people...and I mean I could see how you...are like that because I mean you are really cute and..." Her eyes widening a bit before she would spin around in her seat to face forward, shaking her head as she tried this time to hide how badly she was blushing. "Nevermind..." Not really acting today, but being more of the girl she actually was, meant that telling him he was cute and genuinely meaning it was rather embarrassing. Though no sooner had she turned away than she would turn back, once again curling up in her seat and laying her head against the back of it once more, though this time leaning in just a tiny bit more. "No, no...I want to to know. Is it true?" Those bright hazel eyes so innocent and yet so genuinely curious, not a hint of anything negative in her gaze or in the way she acted toward him because when Azura gave second chances, she really did mean it.

His eyes would glint over her as she posed the question. It wasn't a strange venture, he'd gotten this question time and time again and managed to worm his way through it. It was more a matter of how she went about it, stuttering and such over the words trying to reason and logic it all out as something else that left him a bit aback. No one went searching for anything in him, they saw him exactly as how they wanted to. Its what made that game so easy and predictable.
"I don't mind being the bad guy."
His lips curled up into a small smile, however a look in the corner of his eyes would look longing, as though she could say somthing or someone could do something to change that. See some good in him.
"Go on, tell me more about me." That wry grin losing the glimmer of hope for him and replaced by the eager cockiness that forced his cheeks to furl upwards into large dimples. "Is what true? Me and a flocking spout of rumors, tag alongs wanting to gather a bit of Cael Seran... You decide what is true or false, it'll be more apparent by the end of this weekend the type of man I am."
Cael would turn about in his seat fixating forward as the ride roamed on just a bit more.

She noticed that look in his eyes, and would tilt her head slightly, her brow furrowing just a bit. Softly she shook her head, and lifted her head from the back of her seat. "But...you aren't the bad guy I don't think. I think you just don't quite know who you want to be yet." She shrugged softly, not actually sure that she was correct, but that was her first initial assumption of him. She wouldn't be able to tell who he really was until she spent more time around him.
Though as he spoke, rattling off the various rumors that flew around the school, she would lower her eyes just a bit. She had not meant to insinuate anything like that to be true, she just wanted to know. Yet when he finished, summing it up by saying she would figure it out by the end of the weekend, she would shake her head once more. Her head down, eyes would turn upward toward him, looking at him through her thick, soft lashes. "I don't think a single weekend will give me even a fraction of who you really are Cael." Offering a soft little smile before turning back to sit in her seat the correct way, her head leaning back and her eyes casting a glance up to the roof of the bus.
"But so you know...I don't like to assume that I know anything about a person just because other people run their mouths. If I did that, I would miss out on knowing some pretty amazing people." A little nod given as she would sigh and turn her head to the side just slightly, curling into a little ball in her seat and closing her eyes, figuring she could at least fake sleep the rest of the ride, to keep from annoying him too much. Though before she would slow her breathing and try to "doze" she would speak up one more time just as softly as all the times before. "I would really like to meet the real you..I bet you are pretty amazing when you want to be." A soft, almost flirty little laugh, still just as genuine as everything else she had said and done thus far, before she would nuzzle softly into the back of her seat and try and rest up for the remained of the bus ride to the campgrounds. Hopeful she had not offended him, because that had so not been her intention.

Hmph. Maybe he could be something more. But that would be just a fleeting dream, recognition only to the fact that he needed to take the effort to change. Cael didn't think he could do that, much less afford to upset his way of dealing with things, it'd all be too different.
"hmmm good luck..."
Cael would avert his position choosing to slant aside and away from her, he didn't want to go giving everything about himself away. And before long he'd fade off into a light sleep. His sleep would have been broken as the bus made it's stop at the camp grounds, a quick drop in the throttle and another bump showing that the bus driver had a bit of trouble handling the gears.
Great staff Hikari. A silent hmph once more as Cael rubbed his eyes looking around the new environment once more taking even to admire Azura once more before standing up without a word to stretch his legs and get off the bus.

She had managed to fake sleep well enough that she drowned out everything going on around her. She knew already that he was the kind to try and close himself off, and so she wasn't about to push..better to just let him reveal what he wished and hide the rest instead of alienating herself from him by asking far too many questions.
In her false sense of slumber she would shift about within the seat every now and then, just enough to give the appearance of a restless sleep, which in truth, was exactly how she slept on the rare occasions that she did find herself drifting off. Though as she allowed her mind to wander, ceasing to pay attention to the bus or her own current position, she opened herself up for one of those oh so lovely moments where her grace and charm failed her.
This instance coming in the form of the bus stopping, which first got to her through the grinding of the gears as the bus driver tried to put the darn thing into park. Hazel eyes just starting to flutter open when a sudden bump was hit, hard enough that it jostled her out of her seat, quite literally. For one such as himself it would be felt as nothing more than a bump and nothing more, an annoyance at the end of a long trip. For Azura, who weighed next to nothing and who was already curled up with her rear end on the edge of the seat, it was enough to bounce her up off the leather seat and onto her ass in front of it on the floor. A little yelp given as her pert little bottom connected with the hard ass floor, not so much out of pain but more so out of surprise, being jerked from her rather vivid daydreams and quite literally dropped back into reality.
Her red locks falling over her face she would turn her head upward, glancing at him as he rose to stand and giving a somewhat sheepish little smile as she tried her best to laugh off her current misfortune. "Other girls wish they were as smooth as me." Her small hand reaching out to grasp the seat she had previously been seated in, trying to pry herself up from the ground, grabbing her bag in the process to create a very obvious "I meant to do that" gesture before sliding into the isle and making her way off of the bus.
Off to such a great start already.....

Cael's hand would have instinctively locked out only to be slowly drawn back by his own willpower and the need to be his own sort of bad guy breed. Concerned hues traced over her as she tried to be "cool" or at least the high school similarity to the type but even still he managed to see through it sliding forth a calm and devious smile before turning wordlessly to the front slowly etching his way out the bus doors and off a ways not to clog the front entrance. His bag would drape over his shoulder, a loose hand tangled in the rope that strung it together while the other hand rode up along his brow patting through his hair as he surveyed the scenary.
Boring, thats what this trip was going to be like. Just another one of his own family's little excursions that ended up being a bunch of rich pompus douches sitting round a camp fire telling stories. Cael fretted slowly turning his head back to see if Azura had managed to get off the bus without cracking her skull. However he'd keep his lips shut until she was standing near enough him so that no one else would concern themselves.
"Lets go find a real camp zone."
Cael smirked another deviously thoughtful expression taking to cock his eyebrows and teeter off against the planned scenario and march his way into the fray of the forest. It was a risk, hell yea. But a worthwhile one.
