A/N: Alright, this may be the last chapter of this story for a loooooooong time because for me, it's school tomorrow, and from all of my time on the computer, my mom's probably not going to let me near it even if I won't have any homework, which I will inevitably have anyway.


Kiyo gaped as Rokya moved with a speed that was certainly NOT possible for humans, tunnels flashing by them in an instant.

"What the hell happened to you, Rokya?"

Rokya grinned. "I ate a lot of sugar before this. Also, remember I'm almost eighteen now, so I'm MUCH stronger!!!"

"...of course..." Kiyo sighed. "Do you mind letting me go now?"

"Um, no, because that's the reason why Yomi and Raito and L are chasing after me..."

"Exactly why you should let me go!!!"

"Well, because you seem to want me to, I won't."

"Oh, of course!!" Kiyo huffed irritably from the teenager's back.


Yomi swore. "Shit, he's not human anymore!!"

Raito glared at L angrily. "You said that Kiyo-chan wouldn't get into any danger and NOW look at what's happened!!!"

L chewed his thumb. "I doubt that Rokya-kun would actually do her any harm...however it is best that we get Kiyo-chan back."

"Then think of a way to get her back!! You're the freaking genius here, aren't you?!!!! Ryuuzaki!!!" Yomi was getting extremely frustrated and irritated. Rokya had kidnapped her best friend and the three greatest detectives in the world was just sitting there!!!

L turned on a flashlight that appeared to come out of nowhere. "Hmm...." The beam suddenly illuminated an extremely old looking cart and tracks.

L's eyes lit up. "I have an idea!"

Raito groaned. "You have GOT to be kidding me..."


"Rokya, I'm serious!! You're starting to sca-" Just as soon as the words escaped Kiyo's mouth, Rokya suddenly stopped and put her down. "Rokya?!!"

Rokya sighed. "It's fun irritating you, but I need to move faster."

"HUH?!!" In another blur of speed, the boy was gone.

Kiyo stood up and groaned. She was getting so confused. They should have just left Matsuda down there, really, and-

"WHAT THE HELL?!!" Kiyo turned around only to be greeted by the sight of a very fast cart coming toward her on what appeared to be tracks.

"Oh, there's Kiyo-chan." L remarked, somehow managing to pause the cart. Raito face-palmed. This was getting way too stupid...

"Kiyo!! Are you okay?!!" Yomi clambered out of the machine hastily and ran to her friend.

"Um...I'm fine...but why are you guys driving a cart?" Kiyo asked uneasily.

Yomi rolled her eyes. "Just some stupid idea Ryuuzaki had...and OI WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!!" L grabbed the teenager by her jacket and placed her back in the cart.

"We still need to catch Rokya-kun." L explained. "Kiyo-chan should get in as well." Raito offered Kiyo a hand up, which she really didn't have any choice but to accept.

Raito tried to ignore the fact of how soft her hand felt in his...

"Ryuuzaki, can I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"Were these carts made for transporting supplies like wood and stuff like that?" Kiyo asked warily as she settled down into the now somewhat crowded cart.

L nodded. "Yes...why does Kiyo-chan sound so frightened?"

"Well...when these carts were designed, the people didn't really take into consideration of the safety of the supplies, did they?"

The other three froze when they realized the meaning of Kiyo's words.

"..."

"..."

"...oh yeah..."

Yomi groaned. "Ryuuzaki, if we die I'll kill you."

"That seems to put a lot of pressure on me, doesn't it?"

"Just shut up and drive!!" Raito hissed irritably.

L shrugged and pulled a lever. The cart jerked up and started along the track much more wildly than before, making most of its occupants sick with hairpin turns and almost toppling over once in a while when it hit a particularly bad bump in the ground.

"AGH!!" Kiyo cried as Raito was thrown against her for the third time. "This is worst than the elevator thing!!!"

Yomi grabbed an edge for support. "Ryuuzaki, can't you control it or something?!!!"

L, seeming unfazed by the tossing and turning of the cart, simply replied, "This cart was not designed to transport humans."

"OH, NOW YOU TELL US THIS?????!!!!!" Yomi's hysterical scream echoed off the walls, giving Kiyo and Raito (and probably L too) headaches.

Raito quickly lifted up Kiyo and switched positions with her so the girl wouldn't keep getting bumped by him.

Yomi lost her grip on the cart's edge and careened into L when the cart made another dizzying turn. "Oof!!" L reddened at their position. "Er...Yomi-chan..." The girl just pushed herself off his lap, only to be thrown in it again as the cart speed over another bump.

"Ryuuzaki, make it stop!!!!" Kiyo pleaded desperately, clinging on the edge of the cart.

Raito was starting to get sick from the cart ride. Wait, cart ride?!! Scratch that, roller coaster of death and vomit cart ride was a much better description....

"If Raito-kun vomits at the right time when we turn, it probably won't land on any of us...."

"SHUT UP RYUUZAKI!!!!"

Yomi fell into L again as the cart almost toppled over during a turn. "Ryuuzaki, BRAKE DAMMIT!!!!!"

"Yomi-chan is not enjoying this?" L certainly was, even though the insomniac wouldn't dare admit it even to himself.

"THIS IS NOT A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE!!! BRAKE AND GIVE US ALL A CHANCE TO THROW UP BEFORE IT ENDS UP ALL OVER YOU!!!!"

L did not enjoy getting vomit on him, so he reluctantly pulled another lever, which was difficult to do considering the three bodies repeatedly slamming into him.

Screech...

Kiyo swore the cart must have gone another thirty yards before it abruptly stopped, practically pitching the four out onto the ground.

"If you need to throw up, do it now." L said bluntly.

Yomi moaned. "Oh god, you never really appreciate what supplies have to go through...how could any of it reach the destination with all of that tossing and turning?!!"

"Well, this is a very old place..."

In the end, the only one who really had to throw up was Raito, who did it quickly over the side of the cart. Kiyo coughed, but didn't bring anything up.

"Why hasn't Kiyo-chan thrown up as well?"

Kiyo lay back on the cart in an effort to calm her still spinning head. "I would, but I haven't eaten anything lately."

"WHAT?!"

"Oh dear, I forgot, my body needs food to survive, doesn't it?" Kiyo asked sarcastically. "I'm in no danger of dying from hunger if that's what are you think. And no, I'm not anorexic, I just kind of forgot about food after everything!!"

L frowned. "That...is understandable..." Suddenly, the detective leaned over the side of the cart and hurled out his stomach's contents as well.

"Ryuuzaki?!!"

Raito, who had previously been trying to die after he had thrown up, stopped and stared at L in a mixture of surprise and disgust.

"I just realized I had to throw up." L explained as if discussing the weather, which the detective found very boring, to be honest, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"You...didn't know you had to throw up?"

L shrugged. "I didn't know what to feel until I actually threw up. That was my first time doing it, and I must admit that that wasn't the best sensation I've felt..."

"..."

"..."

"...okay..."

L shrugged again and reached for the lever. The other three braced themselves.

However, the sound of another cart approaching stopped L's hand.

"Who-"

Four mouths dropped open again. The second cart came into view, revealing-

"MATSUDA??!!!!!"

"Oh..." The officer pulled his head out and smiled sheepishly, his face a little green. "Hello there.."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!" The four, including L, demanded hysterically.

Matsuda winced. "Er...well...Watari suggested that I should come and try to help you..."

"Watari what?" L didn't resist this time. He smacked his head against the cart's side.

"Am I...unwanted here?"

Raito sighed. "No offense Matsuda-san, but you would have been much safer outside..."

"...oh..."

Kiyo couldn't help feeling a little sorry for the guy.

"Sorry, I'll just go back!!" Matsuda apologized, hastily pulling a lever. Unfortunately, he pulled the wrong lever, instead of reversing, he crashed into their cart, sending both of them flying.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!!"

"What the hell, Matsuda?!!"

"I'm so sorry!!!!"

"ARGH!!!!!!!!! I'm going to kill you!!!!!"

"WAH!!!!!"

"RAITO-KUN YOU DID NOT JUST TOUCH MY-"

"THAT WAS MATSUDA'S FAULT!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!!!!!" Raito yelled furiously, his face bright red.

"Matsuda, brake the damn thing before we crash into something!!!"

"I'm trying!!!! It won't work!!!!!!!" Matsuda wailed frantically.

"Ryuuzaki, you brake!!!"

"It is somewhat difficult to do that when Matsuda-san's cart keeps pushing us!!!"

"At this speed, shouldn't we have passed Rokya-kun by now?!" Raito bellowed over the noise.

"I don't know, maybe-" The carts suddenly sped past an all too familiar figure perched on a rock.

"PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME WE JUST FUCKING PASSED HIM!!!!!!!"

"Raito-kun, I think we just did..."

Right then, Matsuda somehow managed to reverse his cart. Unfortunately, their cart had somehow become stuck to his, so as he reversed, so did they.

"SHIT!!! NOW WE'RE GOING TO PASS HIM AGAIN!!!!"

The pair of carts suddenly blurred past the same figure.

"Wow, you were right." A deadly familiar voice remarked from Matsuda's cart, causing all heads to turn.

"Rokya, what the hell are you doing here?!!"

"Joining the fun, isn't it obvious?"

"This is NOT fun, Charlie!! This is HELL!!!!"

Matsuda freaked when he saw Rokya sitting next to him, and honestly who could really blame him when the seventeen year old had drugged the police officer a few hours ago?

Anyway, when Matsuda freaked, he accidentally switched the cart from reverse to forward, causing them all to rocket off in said direction.

"MATSUDA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Matsuda cringed at how enraged Raito sounded.

"Wow," Rokya commented again. "I feel sorry for you guys." He said, referring to Kiyo and Yomi.

Kiyo rolled her eyes irritably as she got slammed into Raito again. "Yes, but you won't help us, will you?!!!"

"Depends on what you mean by help..." Rokya suddenly pushed Matsuda aside and started fiddling with the controls. Five seconds later, Matsuda's cart was speeding backward, Rokya and the others going in the opposite direction.

"Well, Matsuda-san was making things a lot worst..." L pointed out.

"Yeah, but I'm going to need your guys' help soon." Rokya suddenly said.

"WHAT?!!"

Rokya shrugged again. "Sorry, but Zarth's mad that I'm not really going to hurt anyone."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HURT ANYONE?!!! WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE YOU KILLED AS KIRA?!!" Raito roared angrily.

Rokya winced. "Cool down, sheesh. I meant that I'm not going to hurt anyone who is currently in this cart at the moment."

"HUH?!!"

Rokya sighed. "As much as I hate to be a good guy, I kinda owe a debt to Yoko."

"HUH?!!!!"

"You know, most people would be kind of glad at that...anyway, I owe Yoko one, so I won't hurt her. And since hurting either of you or Yomi will hurt Yoko as well..." Rokya shrugged. "I can't."

"...really?"

"Wait a minute, Rokya, you said Zarth's mad. WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO?!!"

Rokya sighed. "He's going to make the whole place collapse in about fifteen minutes. We have that much to get out of here."

"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!"

"I knew you were going to act like that..."

"You're telling us all of this NOW?!!!!"

"Yes."

"Fuck." L suddenly swore, causing everyone, even Rokya, to stare at him.

"Um..." Rokya scratched his mop of hair. "Does that mean we can form temporary alliance in order to remain alive, and then we can kill each other after we get out?"

"Yeah, yeah sure..."

"I'm not sure how many people realized this," L spoke abruptly, "but thanks to Matsuda, the reverse gear is broken, and we're already too far down to run up by foot. We're going to have to find another way out of here."

"..."

"...of course!!" Yomi swore angrily.


Two minutes later...

"There's a thin layer between the surface and here about somewhere, if we find it and manage to break it, we'll be okay." Rokya explained as he was thrown about in the cart's motion.

"And if we don't find it?" Yomi asked warily.

"Yomi-chan, I think we already know the answer to that." L replied stiffly.

Yomi groaned. "That's our only option?!!"

"Yes."

"Damn. We really should have just left Matsuda to die."


Will they be able to make it in time?! Or will our adventure end there? If you really think I'd do that, you are very very WRONG.

If I don't manage to get the next chapter out be tonight, it'll probably be at least two weeks or more before you see me again. ^_^

Anyway, thanks you very much for your support by reading this!!!
