Chapter 4 : Total Annihilation of Izumi
After finally being able to escape from Izumi, Kouichi exited from a shop, holding flowers in his hands in replacement for the chocolate. // Marina would be so happy when she sees them. She sould forgive me and never run away from me again.// He thought. // I think I'll stop by at her house and give them to her.// Kouichi walked towards the Kaiba Mansion.
~*~*~*~*~
Yami Bakura sat in his chair, looking at the $50,000 he had stolen just now. // Maybe it wasn't a good idea telling Mieko to kill Malik. He does have the Millennium Rod after all.//
" What am I thinking?!" Yami Bakura exclaimed to himself, then sighed. // I must have grown too soft for my own good.//
Yami Bakura stood up, walking towards the door. // Maybe I should kill him myself. Besides, what can be sweeter than getting revenge with your ver own hands?//
~*~*~*~*~
Malik looked at the clock, it was almost 11:00 at night. // Maybe I shouldn't have told Mieko to kill Yami Bakura. If they do end up fighting, she wouldn't stand a chance. Yami Bakura does have 5000 years of experience after all.//
// I could tell Mieko to change her victim into Yugi. She has more of a chance killing Yami than Yami Bakura.// Malik thought and called Mieko's cellphone, but it wasn't turned on. // I'll have to tell her tomorrow. And meanwhile, I have a score to settle…//
~*~*~*~*~
Marina sneaked out of the Kaiba Mansion, taking care not to disturb Seto. She went into her black, fast car. Without turning the car lights on, she drove away in the direction of Izumi's house.
~*~*~*~*~
Mieko put on her gloves, and clipped on a small bag that contained lockpicks on her belt. Equipped with a dagger, she climbed to the rooftop. I LOVE JUMPING! and made her way to Izumi's house.
~*~*~*~*~
Kouji was walking back towards his house from a late dinner. He suddenly heard a sound from above him. He looked up and saw the strangest sight of his life. It was a girl armed with a dagger jumping from roof-to-roof! // That looks like Mieko… Wait! It is Mieko! What's she doing?!" Kouji hid under a tree as Mieko landed in the streets and jumped over a fence into Izumi's backyard.
// I wonder what she'd doing?// Kouji thought. // She has been acting strange lately. I think I'll follow her and see what she's up to.// He followed Mieko over the fence, trying to convince himself that he only thought she was holding a dagger.
~*~*~*~*~
Yami Bakura walked towards Malik's house on the left side of the street, while Malik walked towards Yami Bakura's house on the right side of the street. They both took car no to make any noise, and both didn't notice eachother.
On the road, a black fast car drove slowly, going the direction same as Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura and Malik turned their heads to look at the black car. Again, they failed to see eachother because the car is not transparent! They both resumed walking.
~*~*~*~*~
Marina didn't even see Yami Bakura nor Malik, all she could see at that time was how she would torture Izumi to death. Marina smiled evilly at the idea.
Marina parked the car near the side walk and stepped out. She looked around and saw Kouji jumping over the fence and into Izumi's backyard. // What is he doing here?// she thought. Marina jumped onto the roof and looked down at Izumi's backyard. She could see Mieko opening the back door with a lockpick and closing it behind her, Kouji was spying on her all that time. Kouji walked towards the door and tried to open it, but Mieko had already locked it from the inside. Looking frustrated, he jumped back over the fence and circled around the street, heading for the front door…
After Kouji left, Marina spotted an open window to Izumi's house and climbed in, wondering why Mieko was here too.
~*~*~*~*~
Mieko went in through the back door and into the kitchen, but Izumi wasn't there. She could here somebody walking upstairs, it was probably Izumi. Mieko walked into the living room, and saw a dark figure climbing in throught the window.
// Sorry, thief. You came in to the wrong place at the wrong time.// Mieko thought, drawing out her dagger, she headed for the window…
~*~*~*~*~
Marina was having a hard time climbing in, but succeeded in the end. As soon as she got in thought, a sharp dagger was immdiately pointed at her throat.
" Don't move." Mieko whispered.
" Mieko, it's me." Marina replied.
Then the doorbell rang, and the lights were turned on. Mieko and Marina hid behind the couch as Izumi came to open the front door.
" Coming!" Izumi yelled sleepily, and walked towards the door.
" What are you doing here?" Marina and Mieko whispered to eachother behind the couch. They paused, // Should I tell her?// They thought at the same time.
" Kouji!" They heard Izumi shout. " Why are you here?"
" I was just wondering if Mieko is here…" Kouji said. " 'Cause I thought I saw…"
// Ooops… he saw me. I guess I was getting too excited// Mieko thought, then suddenly realized. // Wait a minute, if I cam in through the back door and into the house to kill Izumi, wouldn't it make sense if Marina cam in through the window and into the house to kill Izumi too? I know we both hate her…//
Mieko and Marina looked at eachother. // We are both assasins…// They realized at the same time.
" Mieko is not here." Izumi replied.
" Are you sure?" Kouji asked again.
Not paying any attention to the conversation anymore, Mieko and Marina gave suggestions for how to kill and torture Izumi.
// Poke millions of holes on Izumi with a dagger, it waill look pretty on her.// Mieko signaled to Marina with her dagger.
// Let's whip her with the whip a lot times and make bruises all over her, it'll look even more prettier./// Marina signaled with a whip.
// Let's burn her house after we finish, then there won't be any proof of us killing her.// Mieko signaled with some matches.
// What about Kouji?" Marina asked, pointing towards the door.
// Don't worry about him.// Mieko replied confidently.
// Let's put duct tape around her mouth so she wouldn't be able to scream.// Marina suggested, pointing at the duct tape on the table. Mieko nodded.
// Before we burn her house, we should tar and feather her.// Mieko quickly thought up ( from History class)
// Sure!// Marina agreed.
~*~*~*~*~
" Are you positively sure that Mieko is not here?" Kouji asked for the millionth time.
" I am certain." Izumi replied for the millionth time also. Izumi did a big yawn. As she did so, Kouji looked into her living room through the doorway. He saw 2 shadows (created by one of many lights in the room). One was waving a dagger, and the other a whip.
Izumi recovered from her yawn and said to Kouji " If you only came here to ask me that question. I think you should go home now, because Mieko is relaly not here and I need my beauty sleep."
Before Kouji could say another work, Izumi closed the door on him.
~*~*~*~*~
Yami Bakura sneaked into Malik's house quietly.
// Why was I so stupid? I didn't even bring a weapon with me!// he thought and looked around for a possible weapon, but could find nothing useful. // Oh well, I can take him with my bare hands.// Oh well, I can take him with my bare hands.//
He walked upstairs, but could find no one there.// Could this be a trap?// He thought. He walked back down the stairs and searched some more, but could not find Malik.
// What a pity I can't kill him tonight.// Yami Bakura thought and looked down at his Millennium Ring, then smirked. // Why didn't I think of this before?//
He summoned his shadow powers and ordered the Millennium Ring to point at the direction of the Millennium Rod. The ring glowed and pointed to the Millennium Rod ( Malik has it with him).
// This will take me right to Malik.// He thought and started walking.
~*~*~*~*~
Malik successfully unlocked the door into Bakura's house.
// This is going to be a piece of cake.// He thought to himself, holding his Millennium Rod. He went up into Bakura's room, expecting to see a sleeping Bakura, but only found on empty bed.
// Where can he be at a time like his?// Malik thought. // I can't believe he missed out on the most important day of his life… his death.//
Disappointed, he walked back out and headed back home.
~*~*~*~*~
Seto woke up and the first thing he saw was his incompleted work on the computer.
// Must've dozed off.// He thought. Feeling a little hungry, he went out of his huge mansion for a late night snack.
~*~*~*~*~
Kouji sat on a tree outside Izumi's house. It all became clear to him who Mieko was now, but he wasn't sure who was with her.
//Why didn't she just tell me? She knows I wouldn't leave her because of that.// Kouji thought. //Besides, I HATE Izumi.//
~*~*~*~*~
Izumi walked into the living room, suspecting nothing at all. Then Marina jumped out from behind the couch and wrapping duct tape around Izumi's mouth, while Mieko went to turn off the lights.
Soon, they had Izumi tied up on the wall. She was wiggling madly, while Mieko and Marina laughed evilly.
"What should we do first?" Mieko asked.
" Let's whip her first." Marina suggested. " And then cut her hair and let's kick her."
Izumi yelled out something that sounded like " No! Not the hair! Anything but the hair!" but her voice was muffled.
" And then we can tar and feather her." Mieko said.
" Okay! Let's start!" Marina said, and raised the whip.
" Take this! And that! And that!" Marina said quietly, whipping Izumi. Izumi screamed muffled screams.
" And this! And that!" Marina's voice went on and on…
Fifteen minutes later…
"And that! And that!" Marina said.
"Is it my turn yet?" Mieko asked. Marina stopped;
" Sorry, got carried away." Marina said and handed Mieko the ship. " I'll go get some tar, while you torture her."
" Okay!" Mieko said. " Let me continue Marina's unfinished "And that"s…"
After a while, Marina came back with tar and scissors.
" Time for a haircut!" Marina said, smiling.
" I'll go get feathers." Mieko said, as Marina started to make a new hairdo for Izumi ( they stopped at the 500th "And that")
Mieko cam back holding a pillow, and found a almost bold-headed Izumi. Mieko let out a giggle.
" I'll put the tar on her!" Marina said.
" I'll put feathers on her!" Mieko said and they started working.
~*~*~*~*~
Malik was walking through the park when he saw something glowing in front of him. He recognized it immediantly; the glow of the Millennium Ring.
// So this will all end in the park.// Malik thought. // This death place is too peaceful to suit you, Yami Bakura, but I will kill you anyway. I promise I will make your death slow and painful.//
~*~*~*~*~
Now, Izumi is tarred and feathered from head to toe! Mieko and Marina l aughed at the sight. They looked out the window. // It would only be a few more hours before dawn comes…// they realized.
" I'll finish her off." Mieko said, drawing out her dagger. " But before we do…" She took a mirror from one of the tables. "Let's show her how she will look when she dies."
" Okay! Marina said. Mieko handed her the mirror.
" Here, pretty-face! See what you look like now!' Marina said, holding the mirror at Izumi. Izumi screamed (muffled), but her scream was cut short by Mieko's dagger, which just went into her stomach.
" Nice aim." Marina remarked.
" Thank you." Mieko replied, getting her dagger back. She took some matches and Marina threw them into a pile of wood near the fireplace. Then they left, leaving Izumi to die in the fire ( if she doesn't die from being stabbed). Mieko got her dagger back when she left.
~*~*~*~*~
Seto drove (black, fast, car!) to a fast food restaurant near the park. He went in and ordered some food for him and Marina…
~*~*~*~*~
Kouichi was still on his way to the Kaiba Mansion ( he walks slow). He was thinking about what to say to Marina when he would give her the flowers.
" I love you, Marina. These flowers are for you, and I hope you like them." Kouichi said over and over again. " I love you, Marina. These flowers are for you, and I hope you like them. I love you, Marina…"
He stopped suddenly when he saw Marina and Mieko run out from Izumi's house and towards the park ( Marina parked her car behind the park and Mieko has to get through the park to her house.)
// Marina!// Kouichi thought and ran after them.
Author's Notes:
Mieko: I think this chapter was too long…
Marina: You just don't type enough.
Mieko: Whatever.
Marina: You know? We are all heading for the park.
Mieko: That's the point.
Marina + Mieko: Our next chapter will be called " Coincidence" !
