*Insane Fans*
Chapter Five
As Demuko strolled down the sidewalk, her long brown hair flowing wildly in the wind, she thought about what the consequences would be after she had helped Shuichi.
Well, none of my friends will ever talk to me again, especially Kita, but this is something that must be done.
The streetlights were starting to come on. As she checked her watch, she could see that it was 6:58. I'm going to be late if I don't hurry.
Demuko suddenly forgot what she was thinking about when she noticed the dark figure ahead of her. Thinking it was a robber, she tried to steer around them, but they moved with her. Who is this? What do they want?
As the figure stepped into the light of the streetlight, Demuko was overwhelmed with relief. It's only Kita. But what is she doing out here?
"Kita!" Demuko called happily, running up to her.
"Hello Demuko." Kita said in a strange calm tone.
"I was worried that you were a robber or kidnapper or something like that." Demuko laughed.
"Well how do you know I'm not?" Kita said.
"What?" Demuko whispered, very confused by what Kita had just said.
"How do you know I'm not a kidnapper?"
"Kita, you're not making any sense." Demuko said, starting to feel very nervous.
Kita did not say anything, but instead pulled some rope out from her pocket.
"Kita, what are you doing?" Demuko screamed, starting to back away.
"Nothing personal, but I'm going to have to take another hostage to make this work." Kita said, starting to move toward Demuko with a strange smile.
She's gone insane! Demuko thought, starting to run away.
But Kita was too fast for her. She jumped Demuko and started to tie the rope around her hands.
"Kita, you cannot do this!" Demuko pleaded, struggling to pull her hands away.
"Gosh, will you shut up?" Kita sneered, and then hit Demuko hard on the head, causing her to black out.
Kita's laugh pierced the night.

As Kurama stood patiently by the window, he glanced at the alarm clock on Kita's dresser. 7:15
If Demuko isn't here by 7:30, I'm going to have to leave. Mother will be home soon and I need to be there.
He waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. When the clock flashed 7:31, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
Sorry Demuko, I'm going to have to leave without your help. He then turned to prop the window open when a voice was heard in the doorway.
"Going somewhere?"
He spun around to see Kita in the doorway, grinning.
"Listen Kita, If you don't let me go this instant, then I'm going to have to force my way past you." He warned.
"Oh, I know that won't happen." She said, still smiling.
"How?" Kurama said, not sure about what she was saying.
"You won't hurt me. You can't."
"Oh really?" Kurama smirked. She didn't know.
"Yes. Not when your sweet Demuko's life is on the line."
"What?" Kurama said, taken aback.
"You heard me. If you go out that window, I will kill her." Kita oozed, knowing that her plan would work.
Kurama was torn. He didn't want Demuko to be in danger, but how could he know that Kita was telling the truth? Maybe it was just a lie.
"Prove it, and I will stay for her safety." Kurama said. He was convinced that Kita was lying.
"Glad to." She said, and motioned for someone to step into the doorway beside her. Sonia, Autumn, and Amity moved forward, carrying Demuko, who was still unconscious.
Kita pulled out a knife in her pocket. "Why don't we just have a test?" She ran the blade carefully over Demuko's arm, leaving a cut which was bleeding. "Why don't we do another one?"
"NO!" Kurama screamed.
"Then sit down." Kita ordered.
Kurama obeyed.
"Good. You will probably be here for the rest of your life, so get comfortable."
The other three girls stared at Kita nervously. They thought she had gone too far this time. But they were too afraid to step forward. They were just going to have to go along with it.
As they pulled Demuko out of the room, and Kita slammed the door shut, they all exchanged glances.
"Where do you want us to put her?" Autumn asked timidly.
"Oh, the basement's fine." Kita said happily.
Sonia had to say something. "Kita, Demuko is our friend. How can we be doing this to her?" She asked boldly.
"You mean ex-friend. When she tries to help the only guy that we want to be with away from us, then she is our ex-friend." Kita said.
"But he doesn't even like us. He likes Demuko." Amity said. Kita had shown them the tapes.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Kita asked angrily, holding the knife up to Amity's face.
"Nothing." Amity said.
"That's what I thought. Now take her down to the basement." Kita directed.
Sonia, Autumn and Amity quickly moved down the stairs, into the basement, and laid Demuko's body down onto the ground gently.
"We have to rebel." Autumn whispered, hoping that Kita wouldn't hear her.
"But Kita will kill us!" Amity said, still flustered from what had happened before.
"Yeah, maybe we should just wait for the right time." Sonia said cautiously.
Kita was a whole different person now, and none of them liked it.
