Chapter One
Lea Hunnigan (A/N: Not sure if that's really her name. In fact, it's never mentioned in the game. So we'll call her that. Let me know if it's not) was searching for new people to send out to retreive the president's daughter. Her first person, Leon, had died. That virus must have gotten to him, thought Hunnigan as she walked down the halls of the white house. She peeked around the corner. The president wasn't going to like this. "Mr. Graham," She said.
"Yes Hunnigan?" replied the president.
"The person you sent to get your daughter...Leon...he's dead..."
"What?" Mr. Graham bellowed.
"But I've gotten four more people to make up for him," Hunnigan added quickly. The president growled. He didn't like this at all.
"This had better be good, Hunnigan," The president said finally.
"Oh, yes sir," Hunnigan replied hastily, "They're the top dogs of Tokyo."
"Tokyo? You're--Nevermind...Get them, Hunnigan, and bring them to me."
"Yessir." Hunnigan said as she walked out of the room.
----------
"Hey," Yusuke said, "That Hunnigan girl was kinda hot."
"Yeah, she was pretty," Kuwabara replied, "But you and Keiko are already hitched, right? You can't be cheating on her like that."
"What she doesn't know won't hurt her, besides, I'm not cheating on her, I'm complimenting Hunnigan's appearance."
"If that's what you wanna call it," Kuwabara mumbled to himself, so that no one else heard him. Hunnigan then walked into the room.
"Hello," She said, her grey eyes shining beneath her glasses, "My name is Lea Hunnigan. I'll be your support for this mission. You can call me whenever you want with this radio. If I don't get a response from you within six hours after our last one, I'll expect you to be dead. All right?" Hunnigan tucked brown strands of hair behind her ear.
"Okay, sounds all right to me." Yusuke said as he took the radios from her. He handed one out to all of his buddies.
"We'll be sure to keep in touch often." Kurama said.
"I'm sure you will," Hunningan replied just under a whisper. "The rendezvous point is at the closest heliport. Don't forget it." She said as she turned and walked down the hall, the sound of her black high-heels bouncing off the walls.
----------
"Closest heliport? Can someone tell me where that is?" Yusuke asked. The rest of the detectives were unsure as well. They'd never been to America before, only to get away from deranged fangirls. Most of the times they would go to India, though, because they didn't think any fangirls would be there.
"Maybe there's one on the roof?" Kurama suggested. The others thought it was logical, and so they headed up towards the roof.
When they had arrived, there was nothing there. Well, except for a humongous, white "H". Around it was an even larger white circle. It seemed to cover half the roof. "You think that's it?" Kuwabara asked.
"Let's think about that: Heliport begins with H...Helicopters land on H's...And this letter is obviously a "Q"..." Hiei was foaming at the mouth with sarcasm.
"Tch--! Don't be so sarcastic!" Kuwabara shrieked at him.
"Don't fight now, you two," Kurama smiled weakly, "We should wait here until the helicopter arrives." The two of them stopped fighting, and they waited.
----------
After a few hours of Yusuke wadding up paper and throwing them at trees, at the others, and off the roof, the chopper finally arrived. That was it; they'd finally be off to Europe.
"Hey, who here's been to Europe?" Asked Yusuke.
No one answered. Plainly put, no one had been.
"I wonder what it's like," Kurama pondered.
"Probably boring, and just filled with a bunch of people who think they're all that." Hiei huffed.
Kuwabara didn't answer. He was thinking about something as he peered out the window. (A/N: Don't you dare say "Kuwabara's thinking? That's a first!" Because Kuwabara always thinks. If he didn't he'd be dead.) He thought that Europe wasn't going to be all hunky-dory. Maybe it would be quite the opposite.
"Kuwabara? Kuwabara, hey wake up!" Yusuke shook Kuwabara a bit.
"Huh?" Kuwabara asked.
"We thought you went to sleep," Kurama said. Hiei sat, being antisocial as usual, unless he had some smartass remark to make.
"Oh, no, I was just thinking." Kuwabara said.
"That's a first," Hiei finally gave his smartass remark.
"What did you--?" Kuwabara almost belted Hiei across the face, but he fought the urge to. He had self control.
Kurama sighed. No way was he going to say anything now.
----------
The rest of the trip was eerily quiet. No one decided to talk, and no one knew why. They just didn't. As for the helicopter, it still roared like a lion through the sky. Surprisingly, our heroes were able to sleep, even with all the ruckus. "Hey!" Hiei picked up someone yell. He grumbled something under his breath, but he awoke nonetheless. "Hey, buddy, we're here!"
Don't ever call me buddy again, Hiei thought of saying. Instead, he just nodded at the pilot. The pilot started to lower the helicopter, and Hiei started to wake everyone up. The others awoke after Hiei shook them violently. Kuwabara especially. He was having one of those sleeep paralysis times. "Come on, Kuwabara, wake up!" Hiei shook him more violently. Kuwabara rolled over and looked at him.
"I'm up, I'm up," He said. He unhooked the seatbelt around him and got up. "This place here has a tiny bit of the chillies..."
"You think it's dangerous?" Kurama asked.
"Naah, of course not! Let's get our cab." Yusuke jumped out of the helicopter with his cocky self. Kurama stared after him, and reluctantly followed. Hiei was next, and Kuwabara was the last, walking slowly. He had a lot of things rushing through his mind as the chills that ran up and down his spin became worse as he walked. Eventually, he finally said:
"Guys, it's cold out here."
"Are you kidding me?" Yusuke asked.
Great, he really was having a chilly feeling. "Oh yeah, sorry, the cold feeling's gone now." Kuwabara lied. Everyone turned and continued walking. Kuwabara hung his head as he walked. Something was wrong with this place, and he'd find out.
Out of the blue, their radio's started beeping. "I'll answer it," Kurama offered as he heeded the radio's call. "Ms. Hunnigan, is that you?"
"It's me all right," Hunnigan replied, "Just checking up on you guys. Are you in Europe yet?"
"We've just arrived."
"Any problems?"
"No."
"Good to know. Remember to check in with me every couple of hours if you've found something."
"Will do." It was then that Hunnigan signed off, and Kurama flipped his radio off as well. "Ms. Hunnigan just wanted to see if we arrived already."
"Oh, okay," Yusuke said, blinking stupidly. "I thought it was something more important."
Kurama opened his mouth to protest, but he didn't. It would be useless. He followed his friends until they made it to a bus stop.
---------
Obviously, the bus wouldn't stop at their direct location. It was a mile off, in fact. The boys got off and headed for an abandoned village to the east. The walk wouldn't be too long, just as long as they had food or water.
Something then struck Kurama: They had no food or water. Maybe a nice person will give us something to eat, He thought. That would be nice. Then they could all go home with the president's daughter without a scratch. Something told him, like Kuwabara on the way there, when they arrived at the village, no nice old ladies would give them bread and milk for their journey. That's not how it would be here. As soon as the four of them split up into the village, they all instantly knew that one or more of them would die.
Yusuke was the one to enter the house before them. Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara all split up in the village and looked around. Yusuke walked inside and looked around the house. There wasn't anything here. Except for a dead body. He figured that Leon had killed him before, before he was defeated by that virus. Yusuke crouched down and looked at him. "Not a zombie," He inferred. He rose again and kicked the body. It twitched. Yusuke's heart began to race. Dead guys just don't twitch when they're dead. This man wasn't among the lost anymore. He was alive.
Yusuke scurried up the stairs as the person came after him with a dull axe. He'd die here unless he thought of something fast. Yusuke looked at a bunch of logs stashed away in a corner. He picked one up and hurled it at the person. The person staggered backwards, but he kept coming, this time running up the stairs. Yusuke repeated the process until he was down to one log. The person kept coming. When he finally raised his axe to end Yusuke's life, Yusuke swung the log on his head hard, knocking it clean off his shoulders. He pushed the body away from him and took in deep breaths. "That was a close call..." He said to himself. He picked up the axe. "This could come in handy," He examined it closely. It was a bit rusty, but it would do. He started to drag the rusted weapon behind him. "Damn, this axe is heavy..." Yusuke grunted as he pulled it along. It had to have weighed in at around fifty or sixty pounds at most. The village wasn't far away now. He'd go there next.
----------
Kurama was having a similar delimna. It wasn't just one person though. There were dozens of them, forcing him to back up against a wall. He looked around and found no weapons, but he always had a rose in his hair. He could slice through them all with his rose whip. So he tried. And he failed.
Failed? At his own attack? What was going on here? Kurama quickly jumped out of the way of a pitchfork that would have gone right through him had he not moved. The spirit fox was now completely surrounded. He felt something portruding out of the wall behind him. He glanced back. This was no wall, this was a door! A way to escape! Kurama turned around and quickly twisted the knob.
Locked.
He frantically turned back around and looked at the village people drawing nearer and nearer to him. He was going to die here, certainly. He looked to his right and found soemthing completely out-of-the-ordinary. A flash grenade! He thought excitedly. But what's it doing here? There was no time for asking questions, he had to throw this thing right now. So he did, quickly sheilding his eyes. The sound of the grenade exploding and the people screaming signalled the end of the flash. He slowly opened his eyes and saw them sheilding theirs. They were temporarily blinded. Now was his chance to flee. He quickly started to kick the door, hoping the thing would open. He heard scuffling feet behind him, and a pitchfork had landed in the wood next to him. The wielder had to pull it free. More time bought. He continued to kick the door until the lock finally broke and Kurama rushed inside, blocking the door with his body. He hastily reached for his radio. Hiei would know what to do; he'd come kill these things.
"What is it?" Hiei asked from the other end.
Kurama shreiked as the people started to bang against the windows. "Hiei, help!" He cried.
"Where are you?" Hiei's voice hinted concern.
"I'm in a barn surrounded by people," Kurama replied, then the windows busted open. "Hurry up, Hiei!" Kurama quickly shut off the radio, and Hiei came to the rescue.
It didn't take him too long to find the barn. Hiei concluded that every single one of the village people had surrounded the small area, and they started to climb in through the windows and double doors. More than likely, Kurama was dead, but Hiei wouldn't take that chance. He had to be sure! Hiei tried to think of a distraction, and fast. So he whistled as loud as can be. All of the people looked at him and started to walk towards him.
Kurama, now on top of an unstable wooden slate near the cieling of the barn, sighed. He knocked the ladder down many times, and now he couldn't get down himself. Someone would have to raise it up. Hiei was busy right now. He was very busy. Kurama sighed and started to jump down, hoping he wouldn't injure anything. Although, Kurama thought as he landed gracefully on his feet, Hiei's in a much worse situation than I am. I think I should help him. Kurama said finally as he dashed towards him. Another flash grenade would be lovely, so he searched for one, and found many. He stashed them in his belt. His belt could carry five grenades, as could everyone else's. He carried one of them with him, however, so that he could throw it. He ran back towards Hiei who was in the same situation as he was before. "Hiei, cover your eyes!" Kurama cried. Hiei looked at him dumbfoundedly, but he followed his orders. Kurama quickly threw the flash grenade and shut his eyes tightly as well. He ran over to Hiei and grabbed his wrist. "Come on!" The two of them ran away from those creatures.
---------
Kuwabara was cold. He was ice cold. He could feel his bones chilling up. Something was wrong with this place. His sixth sense was going crazy. Were these people undead? Or were they really just stricken with a strange disease? The disease thing was out of the picture. Kuwabara wouldn't feel like this if he wasn't around a lot of ghosts. Maybe they were spirits of the village that had lost their bodies to other demons. Maybe they were trying to warn him. Get out, He heard someone hiss. Get out now, Kazuma.
----------
Yusuke ran into the village, noticing a huge crowd of those people again. They seemed to lose interest in whatever (or whoever) they were chasing. Each pair of distorted, white eyes focused on him. Yusuke swallowed. He wished that he had a pistol or rifle or something right now. Then it hit him: He did have a gun. His spirit gun would do the trick nicely. So he readied it up. But something was wrong.
As with Kurama, his spirit energy had completely disapeared as well. Yusuke gasped at his sudden loss, and nothing else could protect him now. He slowly backed up.
Clash!
Yusuke screamed in pain and looked down at the thing that had chomped onto his leg. A bear trap? Yusuke tried to remove the trap from his leg. It was a hard task, but he finally pried the thing apart and yanked his leg out. He limped towards a crate where he took shelter behind. He looked on it. Laying there was a 9mm pistol. "Where did this come from?" Yusuke asked himself aloud. He knew it wasn't there before. Yusuke looked inside it. Much to his surprise, there was ammo inside. He carefully aimed for the villager's heads and fired. Each of them popped off and seemed to shatter. This thing was more powerful than Yusuke thought. He holstered his new gun and limped over to the dead villagers.
"Yusuke!" Yusuke lifted his head at the familiar voice. He turned his head to the right and saw Kurama. Him and Hiei walked over to him. "Thank you, Yusuke, if you hadn't have shown up, then we'd be dead by now."
"No problem," Yusuke said. He flinched at the surge of pain that was sent up his body all of a sudden.
"What happened?" Hiei asked.
"It's nothing, just a bear trap." Yusuke replied faintly.
"A bear trap?" Kurama said just above a whisper. "These people are smarter than I thought...And they work in groups as well...This is strange. Parasites usually don't work in groups. Maybe they're just normal people?"
"Probably, but then again, probably not."
"Let me call Kuwabara," Kurama said, pulling out his radio, "You need to treat that wound."
Yusuke groaned, but he agreed. He needed it to be tended to. But why Kuwabara anyways?
Kurama chuckled at Yusuke's puzzled, yet annoyed, face. "Kuwabara has all of the healing items on him right now," Kurama said, reading Yusuke's thoughts almost exactly. "So we'll have to get him here."
"Why does Kuwabara have them all?"
"He insisted on carrying them for us," Hiei said dryly.
Yusuke pretended to listen, and so he nodded.
----------
Kuwabara's radio started to beep and a red light started flashing on it. "Kuwabara, are you there?" Kurama's voice came from the other end. Kuwabara unhooked his radio from his belt as Kurama did before, then he replied:
"Yeah, I'm here, what's up?"
"We need you to get over here for a second." Kurama said.
"Where are you?" This question must have been used a lot with people who had split up.
"I'm in the same place I was before, you got my message from a few minutes ago, didn't you?"
"I wasn't really listening; you were talking to Hiei." Kuwabara looked at the barn where Kurama was and then looked a bit to the left. Yusuke was collapsed on the ground, applying pressure to his wounded leg. "God, Urameshi, what did you do now? Get caught in a bear trap?" Kuwabara snickered at his joke. No one laughed because that's what really happened. Kuwabara looked behind him and saw a bear trap that had snapped up. Blood was all over it. He shuddered. That must have been painful. He walked over to the others. "Got the stuff," Kuwabara said, "And I found more things in a tower." Kuwabara handed a first aid spray to Kurama. Kurama sprayed most of it on Yusuke's leg.
"Ow! That hurt!"
"Sorry," Kurama said, hunting for a cloth somewhere. He shrugged and ripped part of his pant leg off. They were too long anyway. Besides, no one would care. Unless his fangirls were here. He wrappped it around Yusuke's leg tightly, but not so tight that it cut of the circulation in his foot. Yusuke's foot stung, but at least this way it wouldn't get infected.
Kuwabara looked over at a door. "Something's going on back there," He said just above a whisper. Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke looked at the door Kuwabara was looking at. It looked pretty suspicious. It was a large, charcoal colored metal door with a crimson insignia on it. Maybe it lead to the person who was doing all this to the people. Kurama was the first to step forward. He was of course, cautious. He laid his hand on the door and heard the roar of a chainsaw coming from behind him.
