A/N: Alright, I know I'm way later than I said it would be, I'm sorry, but it's done, and I had a lot of fun. Let's just say in involves Hiei in a Hawaiian shirt. Bwa ha ha. Enjoy!
As the girls continued walking, they came across another guy dressed in black wearing a mask.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Ryouko demanded. He shrugged. "You don't even know who you're supposed to be?" she asked. "How lame."
"Hey!" he exclaimed indignantly.
"Hey! He spoke!" Himizu cried happily. "We made someone in this place talk."
"Shit…" the guy muttered.
"Since you're on a roll here, how about telling us who you're supposed to be?" suggested Chijin.
"Mike Myers?" the guy suggested. The girls fell over.
"Yeah, okay, we'll run with that…" Ryouko muttered. "So, Mike, got any buddies in here we can talk to and harass?"
"Yeah… behind you." Mike started laughing, but stopped when the girls were not all scared. In fact, they were now harassing the big guy in the Ohio State sweatshirt and mask that had been standing behind the girls waiting for the chance to scare them. Finally Ryouko turned back to Mike.
"Don't mind us."
"Whatever. Love your pants by the way. Very baggy."
"Oh… Thanks."
"What grade are you in?"
"I'm a freshman."
"Really? I'm a senior."
"Okay…"
Himizu and Chijin turned to look at the pair, but Mike and Ryouko had apparently wandered off. The girls looked at each other, then back at the guy in the Ohio State sweatshirt, but he had taken off.
"These people can be such losers… Not even a good-bye…" Chijin muttered. Himizu nodded and they both started looking for Ryouko and Mike.
After a minute or two, everyone met again and they started walking. Mike stayed behind in an attempt to scare more people. The girls made a few turns and found themselves face-to-face with the little dude with the chicken from the beginning of the maze. Himizu's eyes narrowed.
"You…" she growled. Chijin and Ryouko looked at each other.
"What did he do to you?" they wondered.
They kept walking, but now the little dude was keeping pace with Himizu."Go away already, you little freak, or I'll stuff that chicken down your throat!" Himizu exclaimed finally. The dude looked at her and suddenly whacked her in the shin with his plastic ax. "Ow!" she yelped. "Why you --!" she snarled, and she attacked him furiously. Chijin and Ryouko grabbed Himizu and dragged her off while she cursed out the dude.
"Hold on a second!" Yusuke exclaimed. "Why aren't you telling us what you said to him?"
"Because it's not appropriate for the children!" Ryouko exclaimed.
The guys looked at each other. "What children?" Kuwabara asked.
"You never know where the little monsters might be hiding…." Himizu muttered, eye twitching.
"If you're so worried about little kids hearing you, why do you use language like that?" Kurama asked.
"Shut up…" Himizu growled. Hiei smirked, enjoying this. Himizu's eyes narrowed as she looked at him. Ryouko saw the look.
"No! Bad Himizu! No more cookies!"
"I can get my own cookies, baka!" Himizu told her.
"Shut up. Just leave my Don John Hiei alone, freak!" Ryouko told her firmly. Hiei twitched.
"I thought you got over that, you weirdo…" Himizu said, eyebrows going up. "Every time you say that, I picture Hiei in a sombrero dancing the flamenco or something."
"Interesting…. And wearing one of those tropical Hawaiian looking shirts… That would be cool." Ryouko grinned at Hiei as she said this.
"And white shorts and sandals… And you're wearing one of those poofy dresses that the Mexican dancers wear, with the really poofy skirts, you know?"
"Wait… what?" Ryouko exclaimed
"And you and Hiei are dancing the tango while Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama are all wearing bull fighting outfits and serenading you like one of those… whaddaya call 'em… mariachi bands!"
Hiei's eyes were expanded to several times their normal size as he listened to this. Kurama's eye was twitching slightly. Yusuke and Kuwabara were numb with shock. Ryouko thought about it.
"Well, if you let me wear a skirt and a tank top instead of the poofy dress and keep Kuwabara from singing… that doesn't seem terrible… I could live with that," she said finally. Himizu looked surprised.
"Really? Usually when I say stuff like that, you beat me up."
"Yeah, because you're usually trying to set up something plausible… which this isn't."
Himizu smiled. "I wouldn't be so sure of that…"
Ryouko's eyes widened slightly. "You're not…"
"That's why you're not SUPPOSED to encourage me!" Himizu told her.
"Let's keep telling the story!" Ryouko exclaimed quickly.
So Chijin and Ryouko dragged Himizu down the path. But the dude with the chicken just kept following them. And, as if that wasn't enough, three Jasons appeared out of nowhere, chainsaws roaring like wild animals. The girls blinked in surprise. No distractions this time, so the Jasons were able to concentrate on the girls. The dude with the chicken stood back, watching the Jasons advance and laughing his head off. Himizu snarled.
"You little wuss! No guts at all! None! You need your big friends with their scary chainsaws to get your little power trip! You loser!" She kept screaming insults, but they were swallowed up by the roar of the chainsaws. The dude got the gist though and he walked up to one of the Jasons. He tapped the Jason's arm and appeared to say something. The Jason looked at Himizu for a moment, nodded, and handed the chainsaw to the dude. Himizu's eye twitched.
"That's real tough… hiding behind a chainsaw…" she muttered. The dude walked towards her with the chainsaw held high. Himizu turned away from the kid, held her arms above her head, and suddenly took off running, waving her arms over her head and screaming like a maniac. Ryouko and Chijin laughed their asses off and ran after their nuthouse-escapee-type friend. As soon as the sound of the chainsaws had faded behind them, Himizu suddenly stopped and stood still. She appeared perfectly calm, as though nothing had happened. Ryouko and Chijin caught up easily and looked at Himizu like she was nuts. Himizu smiled.
"Best way to get rid of a foe…act completely crazy and run away so he'll be too scared to pursue you!" she declared.
"You are one of the few people crazy enough to think that will work," Ryouko told her friend.
"I know. That's why it worked. Duh!" Himizu said cheerfully. Ryouko slapped her forehead. Chijin cracked up.
The girls now stood at a fork in the road. 'Left or right?' they wondered.
"Left," Himizu said finally. The other girls shrugged and they went left. It turned out that left was the exit path and they could soon see the parking lot. Chijin frowned.
"We didn't get to see Freddy!" she said.
"Well, we can go back. I told my dad we'd be in here about two hours anyway, so we still have some time left," Himizu suggested. So they did an about-face and headed back into the bowels of the maze… or at least they started to. But as luck would have it, they were intercepted only seconds later by none other than Freddy Kreuger! (Believe it or not, that was not a creative liberty by the author designed to save time… it really did happen this way!)
"Freddy Kreuger!" Chijin squealed excitedly. He paused as he stepped into the corn and turned to look at them. The girls ran up to him. "We've been looking for you! We thought we'd see you, since this is your maze!" Chijin added.
"Yeah, she wouldn't let us leave until we saw you," Himizu said.
"Well, here I am," Freddy said. They all started chatting about things that happened in the maze and about some of Freddy's movies. Freddy even let them touch the long golden-colored claws sticking out of his gloves.
"You're actually really nice!" Himizu said. "I mean, you're nice! As a person! Not Freddy!" she added hastily.
"That's right. Freddy's mean!" the man laughed, acting like he was going to rip Himizu's hand off at the wrist. She twitched, he laughed like a maniac, and walked off.
"Ryouko, we've found your soulmate," Himizu said, twitching some more. Ryouko whacked her on the head, then turned and headed back into the heart of the maze.
"Where are you going?" asked Chijin.
"I'm going to go say good-bye to Mike!" she said. Himizu and Chijin rolled their eyes, but followed. But, since Ryouko was leading, they missed their turn and ended up on a path they hadn't explored yet. So, naturally, they started exploring. They hadn't gone far when they came across three older teenage guys.
"Hey there girls!" the guys exclaimed.
"…" the girls said.
"What are three ladies like yourselves doing all alone out here?" asked one of the guys.
"…" the girls said again.
"Would you like us to escort you?" another guy asked.
"Shove it," Himizu snarled. The guys laughed.
"Why would we need you guys to watch out for us? What could you possibly protect us from?" Ryouko asked.
"You know… the maze stuff…" the guys said. Chijin laughed.
"Yeah… right…" she said.
The crushed and rejected guys walked off and the girls laughed their heads off.
"Who needs guys?" Himizu wondered.
Before the girls could answer, Mike stepped out of the corn.
"Hey!" Ryouko said, looking pleased to see him again.
"Hi, girl with baggy pants," Mike said pleasantly. Obviously, he'd simply decided to give up on the silent act. Eventually Mike's friend showed up again and Chijin and Himizu started bothering him. But when they looked around again, Mike and Ryouko had disappeared.
"What the…?" said Chijin.
Himizu slapped her forehead. "Ryouko is such a baka. She's probably getting raped in the corn somewhere." She paused. Mike's friend was gone. "Oh, great. Now it's a gang rape…" she muttered, rolling her eyes in disgust. So she and Chijin chose not to go looking for Ryouko like good friends and instead started talking about school and hot guys and TV and all that good stuff. Mike and Ryouko showed up a minute later. Ryouko was no longer looking happy. She looked rather freaked out actually. They said good-bye to Mike and headed off to where Himizu's father was waiting.
"What happened?" Chijin asked.
"He asked me if I was a virgin," Ryouko said flatly. "At that point, the evening was over."
"No shit," said Himizu. "I ought to go back there and beat the ever-living crap out of him!"
"Thanks for that," Ryouko said. "Now let's go back to your house and watch the movie."
The girls agreed and they got into Himizu's dad's car. They managed to keep the conversation on normal topics until they arrived at Himizu's house, where they dissected the entire evening, drank Mountain Dew, and watched a cool movie about a boy who sees his stepfather kill someone and then turns to his father to keep the stepfather from killing him too. It was a nice ending to their Halloween.
"You girls are nuts…" muttered Hiei.
"What do you mean? You think we can make this stuff up?" asked Himizu.
"Ordinarily I'd say 'yes'… but I'm sort of inclined to believe this…" said Kurama.
"So, did you ever hear from that Mike guy again?" asked Yusuke.
"Yeah, once. He said he got in trouble for talking to us. Good riddance," muttered Ryouko. Himizu nodded.
"I still regret not beating him up…" she muttered.
"I can't believe you were attacked by a guy with a rubber chicken! Haw haw haw!" Kuwabara cackled. Himizu's eye twitched, but whether this was because of the memory of the kid or Kuwabara's laugh was unclear. Regardless, she whacked Kuawbara on the head with a mallet to shut him up.
"The lights still aren't back on. What are we going to do now?" Ryouko wondered.
Himizu grinned evilly. She was holding a flashlight and it was pointed up towards her face, creating dramatic shadows on her face, accenting the evilness of the grin. The guys winced and scooted away from her. Ryouko lifted one eyebrow. Himizu leaned forward and whispered in Ryouko's ear. Ryouko grinned too, and both directed their grins towards the four nervous boys.
(Later)
Flashlights and candles had been placed around the room to create a well-lit area. Himizu was wearing black pants, a white silk shirt, and a black jacket. She tapped a small baton on a podium to get the attention of Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama. They were all wearing black and gold bull-fighting outfits and each was holding a different Mexican instrument. Himizu then began directing them to play a lively Latino song. When the music hit the proper rhythm, Ryouko and Hiei stepped out of the darkness. Ryouko wore a long silky white skirt with blue flowers and a blue tank top. Hiei was wearing white shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and a sombrero. They then started doing a Spanish dance. Himizu then began to smoothly alter the tune until it was a sultry romantic tune and Ryouko and Hiei were dancing the tango. When they were finished, everyone bowed. Then there was static.
"I gotta hand it to you, that was pretty sweet…" said Kitsune. "What did you do after making this video?"
"Well, after a few minutes, the lights came back on, so we finally got to watch Silence of the Lambs, then Ryouko and I whipped all four of them in some Melee game I stole from my brother," said Himizu with a grin.
"Nice. Sounds like you two had a good Halloween."
"Naturally," said Ryouko with a smile. "Just one of our many talents."
"To us!" Himizu exclaimed, holding out her Mountain Dew can. The other two girls clinked cans with hers and they all gulped the can. Then they put their heads together to come up with new ideas to have fun at the expense of our favorite Anime characters.
The End!
A/N: Joy to the world! I ended another story! I was bored in study hall on Friday the 13th, since my math teacher forgot to give us homework. I was so thrilled. I love Friday the 13th's, I have such good days on those days. I think it's fitting that I finished this great Halloween story on Friday the 13th. Well, now I'm off to do other things, which may at some point include fanfics, but we'll see if my creative juices start flowing or not. Maybe the thought that I filled up my notebook writing this fic and that I now have a beautiful blank one will inspire me. We'll see. Review please! Ja ne!
