Author: Review for the next chapter.
Seven thirteen
Hiei angrily stormed off past the group of teenagers.
"Oh come on Hiei, it's not really all that bad." called out the red head as he tried to calm down the fire demon.
"Have you gone mad fox, That creature was attacking!" the boy stated defensively.
Kurama covered his mouth resisting the urge to laugh at his friends naivety.
"That creature was a human in an animal costume." Kurama explained trying to reassure the boy's safety. "Yusuke and Kuwabara were only teasing you."
Hiei raised an eyebrow still not convinced at what the fox was telling him.
"That thing took hold of me and wouldn't let me breathe." he stated trying to prove his point of the story.
"It's called a bear hug." Kurama pointed out causing Hiei to turn stubbornly.
"Yeah right." he muttered in disbelief as he walked away from him.
"Where are you going?" asked Kurama.
"None of your buisness." he responded shrewdly.
"I hope your not planning on leaving." the fox said folding his arms.
"I'm not." he surprisingly said making the fox crack a happy smile.
"well the don't go too far." he advised him.
Hiei rolled his eyes, what were humans going to do to him. Walking past a crowed of people he picked up a dark deadly presence. Turning to the side he notticed an ugly looking gypse playing with a crimson red crystal ball. Large gold eyes stared back at the boy.
"Would you like to hear your fortune?" she asked with a wide grin, her teath were yellow and twisted.
Hiei raised an eyebrow.
"No." he said coldly.
The lady held her expression and took out a devil like coin. It had a devils face on the front and a devils ass for a tail. she flipped it and caught it, looking at Hiei she opened the palm of her hand. it landing on heads. she looked down at it and began to cackle loudly.
"Something funny?" he asked slightly annoyed.
Her eyes glowed and she grinned madly showing him her crystal ball. Hiei was about to ignore it till he herd soft cries coming from it. Gazing deeper into the crystal ball he saw his friends screaming.
"Blood... death and blood." she snared recieving a glare from Hiei. "There's no return on row seven number thirten."
Hiei pulled away angrily and she began to cackle like a mad women.
"Crazy old hag." he whispered to himself as he headed back towards his group, they were still cracking up about the previous situation.
"Oh man, that was just picture perfect!" exclaimed Yusuke in between laughs.
"Yeah Hiei, who would have known that you didn't like Characters." Kuwabara re-mentioned as he saw the little demon coming towards them causing Yusuke to laugh even louder.
"Don't make me hurt you." Hiei threatened.
"Now, now, that's enough." Kurama defended "It was hard enough to convince the demon to tag along, don't spoil it." he mentioned calming the other two down a bit.
"Gotcha." agreed Yusuke. "So what should we do next?"
"I don't know." responded Kuwabara looking around the place.
"Why don't we play a couple of games?" asked Keiko.
"Nah." responded the two boys.
Hiei rolled his eyes, he came all this way for this? He then stopped again feeling the dark presence again. Looking around he came across a huge grim reaper with a roller coaster behind it.
"What's up?" asked Yusuke as he saw the boy come to a complete stop.
Screams shouted through the air catching the gangs attention.
"Oh wow!" exclaimed Yusuke excitedly.
"The ride of no return?" asked Kuwabara as he read the sign "I herd it's the best attraction in the whole carnival."
"Yeah me too!" said Yusuke as he eyed the long line of people "And a long wait list to boot."
"hey Kuwabara!" called out a boy waving from the line.
Kuwabara looked back and forth and caught site of the boy waving his hand back and forth.
"Kirishima!" responded Kuwabara sounding very excited.
"Lucky." Yusuke mumbled as he saw the boys almost there, suddenly a wide grin graced his face. "Hwy wait for us!" he called out to Kirishima.
"Yusuke what are you doing?" asked Keiko obviously annoyed.
"What, that line is always storming with people, with Kuwabara's friends there an hour wait will be twenty minutes." he explained while pushing them in front.
Kurama looked at the crazy ride for a moment. The tracks had many tall drops, crazy twists and many upside down circles.
"I don't know Yusuke..." he said watching the people scream on the roller coaster. "I don't believe Hiei and Yukina are ready for this."
"Relax fox, there's no better time than the present." he responded feeling very anxious.
The gang crossed a few people and stood right behind Kuwabara's friends. Laughter and screams filled the air causing Hiei to feel slightly nervous being inclosed by so many humans. His expression quickly became sour as he saw from the corner of his eye Kazuma flirting with his sister.
"Are you nervous Yukina?" asked Kuwabara kindly.
She giggled sweetly.
"Not really." she replied happily.
"Don't worry, as long as Kuwabara's around there will be nothing to fear!" he declared causing Hiei to roll his eyes.
"Please..." the fire demon mumbled.
Time slowly past by as the line moved closer, the screams increased and Hiei felt very unsure about this. Looking around he felt as if everything was in slow motion. The carrousel spin, the people screamed and the children laughed. His breath slowly increased it's pace as he felt that uneasy feeling again. Steam suddenly came down from above taking the fire demon from surprise. A giant grim reaper stood over the sign, a cold like steam blew down from it towards the people as if it was breathing over them.
"Are you alright, Hiei." asked Kurama noticing that the boy seemed a bit jumpy. Hiei looked at him but didn't answer him. "If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to ride it." he warmly explained his friend.
Ignoring his friends comfort he turned his attention back up. Dead red eyes stared down at him.
"Welcome to the no return!" it sneered evilly as Hiei walked under it keeping really close to Kurama.
Kurama smiled at him then looked back at Kaito as they continued there conversation. Hiei intensively observed the inside room. There was a sign on the wall with a grim reapers scythe that read "Final destination." chills ran down Hiei's spine and he quickly walked past it. The room was colored back with red blood like designs on the wall and floor. Skulls and corpses filled the place, yet that wasn't what Hiei was afraid of... there was a deep sickening feeling in his gut that screamed at him to get away, danger, death.
"Don't worry, it's all fake." said the fox, as if he could sense the fire demons feelings.
Hiei nervously nodded and followed him. His red eyes widened curiousely as he saw a strange train like creature with humans riding it. It was black with skull like arm-belts and blood red lines that glowed. His heart pounded in his chest as the humans got out and the next few got in. The creature started off slowly and then disappeared in the darkness. Screams filled the air causing the fire demon to shutter.
"Looks like we're next!" said Yusuke with a big smile.
"How many?" asked the ticket man
"Thirteen!" responded the raven haired boy "I mean fourteen." he corrected himself and the tried to race for the front of the roller coaster.
"No way Yusuke!" said Keiko grabbing hold of him "I rather not be the one in the front." she declared letting Okubo, Komada, Kirishima and Mitarai go past them.
"Oh man!" he grunted as he sat in the third row on seat number six while Keiko sat next to him in seat five.
Hiei looked around nervously as they all began to enter looking at row seven he hesitated a bit to enter.
"Come on Hiei, you can sit next to me." said Kurama patting the seat next to him.
Sitting down next to the fox he slightly calmed down a bit.
"It's called a roller coaster, it's an invention humans created for having fun." the fox explained as he put his stuff in the little bag. Suddenly the stuff fell through for there was a whole in it.
"oops." Kurama commented as he watched it fall through it.
Hiei rolled his eyes and looked at the time. it was 7:13 pm.
"Cheap contraction." Hiei snorted annoyed.
turning back in front he suddenly noticed that Kuwabara and Yukina were making out in the front. Hiei felt extremely irritated yet only let out another grunt. Changing his attention to the others.
In the fisrt row he saw Kuwabara's dumb friends Okubo (1) and Komada (2), second row sat Kirishima (3) and the traitor Mitarai (4) third row was Keiko (5) and Yusuke (6), forth row was Yukina (7) and Kazuma (8), behind them Kido (9) sat with Shizuru (10), sixth row sat Yanagisawa (11) and the dork Kaito, Kurama's friend, (12) then it was his row where he (13) sat next to Kurama (14).
looking behind there were six more pairs of passengers making an ironic track of thirteen pairs.
The skeleton like belts suddenly descended and Hiei felt a little trapped as he couldn't move. Looking at Kurama he was given a sweet warming smile. The people laughed and cheered as the ride started.
"Here we go!" screamed out Yusuke as it started to go.
Hiei instantly took hold of the bars unsure on what was going to happen. He felt very uneasy as they went up the long steep tracks. Looking down he began to see the beautiful view of the carnival, the lights glow brightly in the night sky.
"Why are we going up?" he asked nervously.
"Don't worry this is all part of the ride." Kurama responded completely calm about the whole situation.
Hiei turned his attention back in front and noticed that they were almost at the top. The group cheered as they were almost there. Hiei's heart sank, something was definitely not right. They finally reached the top and went straight directly down. Screams filled the air as the roller coaster rattled and shook, Hiei was shocked but he didn't scream. He saw no amusement in the feisty ride, as it tossed and turned.
"What do you think Hiei?" called out Kurama a bit amused.
"Ridiculous." he responded feeling the breeze run through him. "I want to get off."
Kurama gave him a sad look a little unsure how to tell the demon that it doesn't stop till the end.. "give it a moment, it'll soon be over." he said kindly as the roller coaster jumped up catching the fox by surprise. "What the-..." he questioned out loud looking down.
His heart stopped as he noticed that one of the wheels were missing.
"Oh no." he whispered.
Sparks began to ferociously fly through the air making them go even faster. Keiko screamed violently as another wheel flew off and another. Screeching loudly the roller coaster violently tossed and turned scraps and pieces broke off and began to fly everywhere. Hiei quickly became alarmed as the screams became more frightening. The seat belts suddenly released itself in-securing all of the passengers.
"Hiei hold on!" directed Kurama as they began to go around in the air.
Hiei obeyed confusedly, he didn't understand what was going on nor did he want to know. turning a swft corner they hit the side to hard making a dent in the coaster and getting Kurama's arm get painfully caught. The coaster suddenly went upside down and a few humans fell from the coaster. Hiei watched as they hit the bottom dead.
"This isn't part of the amusement is it?" he asked Kurama.
"no, it isn't." he responded very nervously, they were indeed trapped and he knew it. "Hiei we have to stop this ride."
Hiei nodded and was about to get when it violently turned again. The end behind them suddenly detached and tumbled off the tracks. Bloody screams filled the air, as they hit the scythe of the reaper and hit the ground. Hiei turned watched then turned his attention back in front waiting for an opportunity to make a move. The ride turned again making it's way to the grim reaper scythe that was hit, it was now too low.
"Get down!" screamed out Yusuke as he saw the metal scythe coming towards them.
Komada stared in horror as he saw it coming at him, but he could't move in time. His body was viciously cut in half blowing the pieces to the passengers behind him. Everyone screamed in horror as the ride came to a stop upside down. Seeing the opportunity Hiei got ready to release himself till he saw that Kurama's full arm was trapped painfully between the belt and the chair.
"Kurama?" he asked then paused as he herd Keiko screamed.
"Keiko, don't let go!" commanded Yusuke.
"I can't!" she cried and slipped off.
"Keiko!" screamed out Yusuke as he released himself to catch her.
He indeed caught her and turned his body to endure the fall. Falling through a few tracks he finally hit the bottom. Brown eyes opened wide in shock as a pole went streight through his chest. Keiko screamed again as she realized what has just happened.
"Urameshi!" screamed out Kazuma as he was holding onto Yukina.
"I can't hold on!" Kaito screamed out as he also let go.
Yanagisawa, trying to save him, caught his hand but then he also slipped off by the weight.
"Damn it." said Hiei as he witnessed one by one is comrades falling.
"Hiei, help me shake the ride." said Kurama
Hiei nodded and they tried shaking it to go backwards. Sadly... it went forwards... Everyone screamed in horror as the ride started again. Hiei whom had had enough decided that by the time his opportunity comes, they would all be dead. Taking the risk he jumped into the empty seat where Yanagasawa and Kaito were. The ride twisted and went side ways forcing him to hold on. Yukina being so slim accidently slipped through her chair. She screamed and Kazuma caught her by the hand.
"I won't let go." he said bravely.
"Kazuma." she said tearfully.
But just then a pole hit her body making her fly into pieces from how fast they were going. Kuwabara stared in horror as he held the limb in his hand.
"Yukina?...Yukina!" he screamed in pain as the ride twisted back in place.
Hiei stared in horror as he witnessed the pieces of his sister fly through the air. The coaster rattled and Kurama was still trying to find away to release himself. They went upside down again and this time Shizuru let go, Kido tried to catch her but he missed her hand. Screamin she was easily caught by Kurama whom had to stand up to catch her.
"Hold on." he directed as they went through the three circles.
Shizuru was spun violently in the air constantly pulling at the foxes now broken arm, but he dared not release her. Kuwabara feeling no reason to live, didn't bother in holding on. Letting go he fell off the coaster.
"Kuwabara!" called out Kurama snapping the fire demon back into reality.
Hiei quickly caught the carrot heads hand and was almost pulled out from the weight.
"Have you lost your mind." Hiei asked.
"Let go." he commanded as they approached the final large circle.
"I don't take orders from weaklings." Hiei stated holding on tightly as they were both out of there seats hanging in midair. Hiei suddenly paused staring directly into Kuwabara's sad eyes.
"I'm sorry." he said dryly "I was suppose to take care of your sister, but I failed. This is the tone I decided to pay." he said as he gripped Hiei's wrist. Since it was Hiei's right arm he screamed out in pain loosing grip on Kuwabara.
"Kazuma !" Cried out his broken hearted sister as she tried to reach out for him.
"No Shizuru!" commanded Kurama still keeping hold of her as she struggled free.
"No!" she cried out.
Hiei closed his eyes in pain, then opened it determinedly. Climbing up the coaster to stand on the tracks the coaster went backward. Since Kurama had Shizuru upside down, going backwards put both of there weight on his arm snapping it in half. Kurama gave out a bloody cry as the bone stuck out of it. Shizuru screamed out in pain, horror and fear as the coaster flipped off the tracks. Hiei whom was still standing on the top of the tracks stared in horror as his best friend and the fools sister was thrown viciously into the air and against the other tracks.
"Nooo!" he screamed out.
Ruby red eyes opened fearfully, looking around he noticed that he was back in the roller coaster sitting next to Kurama. It was as if nothing happened, everyone sat in the same way they were before they took off.
"It's called a roller coaster, it's an invention humans created for having fun." the fox explained as he put his stuff in the little bag. Suddenly the stuff fell through for there was a whole in it.
"oops." Kurama commented as he watched it fall through it.
Hiei's eyes widened in horror, that's exactly what he said before. Looking at the clock he saw that it was exactly 7:13 sweat trecked down the fired demon as he lifted up a bit and saw Kazuma and Yukina making out.
"Here we go!" screamed out Yusuke as it started to go.
"Stop!" screamed out Hiei as he began to struggle with the seat belt. Kurama stared at him in shock. "Let me off!" he screamed slightly pleadingly.
"Whats wrong with that kid." called out one of the managers.
"Hiei, calm down." Kurama said calmly.
"No, It's going crash!" he yelled as he struggled.
Everyone stared at Hiei in confusion. He didn't normally act like that.
"Let him off." said the manager as he took hold of Hiei.
Hiei pulled off and fearfully pulled away from the ride.
"don't get on it, it'll kill you!" he screamed out almost panicking.
"Hiei whats gotten into you?" asked Yusuke now trying to get out seeing as though something was wrong with his friend.
"Is that your brother?" asked the manager.
"What?" he responded sounding almost amused.
The manager took hold of him. "We have some rules about people like you."
"Hey, hey!" he said as he was dragged of out of the coaster, Keiko fallowing after him.
Kazuma and Yukina eyed each other then followed.
"Your leaving?" asked his friends.
"Yeah, gotta check whats up with the short stuff." Kuwabara responded as he followed them. "Coming sis?"
"Nah, this is the last day of the carnival so I'd rather not waist my opportunity." she said ignoring what had just happened. "Besides... enjoy." she said as the ride continued to go up.
Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, Yukina, Kaito, Yanagisawa, and Kurama all followed the Manager whom literally had to drag Hiei out.
"What's wrong with you." said the manager in an angry tone. "Where's you parents?"
Hiei kept on struggling and was fixing to bight the guy when Kurama butted in.
"Please sir, he's with me... He's not used to these kind of rides." Kurama said getting ready to defend Hiei when all of a sudden, there were vicious screams that filled the air. Turning around, the gang stared in horror as the the roller coaster began to crash...
