Hi peoples, I'm back from Oblivion. I'm just going to get chapter 5 up now,
whaddya think? Okay, I guess I'll start now. Hold on, okay, now! Actually,
I'm just stalling, okay, seriously now.
Alice and Yugo came safely back to the Ohgami residence. It was 5:00 pm, and Kenji was nowhere to be found.
Alice: Uriko? Do you know where he went?
Uriko: I-I didn't realize he left! I was-
Alice: You were.? You were doing what?
Uriko: I was in my bedroom, reading my books.
Yugo: Uriko, are you sure that he didn't say anything about where he was going?
Uriko: The last time I saw him he was going to his room, then I was in mine.
Yugo: Okay, Uriko. Do you know where he likes to go?
Uriko: How should I know? I'm not a stalker!
Yugo: I wasn't saying you were.
Uriko: I know, but that look in your eyes made me assume that.
Alice: Doesn't he like that pond down by the park?
Yugo: That's where he goes quite often.
Alice: Uriko, you stay here in case he comes back, Yugo and I will go to the park. Okay?
Uriko: Okay, I'll tell you if anything happens.
Alice and Yugo walked down the street. They made a few turns, and reached the park.
Alice: The pond's down over there.
Alice pointed to the right, and they went down that way.
Yugo: It's way to wet here, he wouldn't like it. He doesn't like water. Except for cleaning and living purposes of course.
Alice: Y-Yugo!
Yugo: What?
Alice: Look!
Alice pointed to the oak tree that Kenji always sat under. His sweater lay covered in water and mud.
Yugo: Is that? Is that his sweater?!
Alice picked up the dirty sweater, and analyzed it.
Alice: Yugo, it is his sweater! Yugo, do you think they. killed Kenji?
Yugo: Don't even say that Alice!
Alice: I'm sorry! It's just that, well, I don't know!
Yugo: I'm sorry Alice. I didn't mean to yell.
Alice: It's okay. We just need to find the person who would do this to him!
Yugo: Let's investigate this place! I'll search over there, by the bridge. You search here, okay?
Alice: Okay!
~*~*~*~*~*~* Kenji *~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenji blinked his eyes open. The room was blurry, and dark. He couldn't see a thing. It was hot and muggy in there too, and smelled like something died and rotted in there. Kenji turned his head to the side and coughed a bit. He must have gotten sick. Kenji tried to move his hands, but was unable too.
Kenji thinking: Oh great, now I'm tied and gagged! What next? Some psycho running in with a butcher knife? O_x I shouldn't have said that!
Chills crawled up and down his spine just thinking that a psycho runs in with a knife, tearing and gutting him. He tried to move his feet, but they seemed tied down too. He couldn't move his body even if his life depended on it, and it probably did right now!
Kenji thinking: My body, it feels numb. I can't feel any part of my body! I can't even tell if I'm right side up, or sitting down or anything.
He wiggled around, trying to recover the feeling in his body. He forced his head to look down.
Kenji thinking: I'm tied to a chair?
He used his tongue to push off the gag, which wasn't on too tight.
Kenji: At least I can breath again.
He looked around the dark room, or at least what he could see. He was facing a wall. He barely realized there was a wall in front of him.
Kenji: What if I sort of, twist my way around?
He pushed his weight onto one side of the chair, turning it slowly. He tried, but he was losing his energy. He still wasn't fully back. He pushed again, but his eyes began to droop. He leaned to one side, when the chair tipped over. He hit the side of his head against the hard wooden floor. He couldn't take that. His eyes fell down fully, but before that, he saw a figure standing above him. The figure slowly dissolved, and soon nothing but black was in front of Kenji. He was once again unconscious.
~*~*~*~*~*~* Alice and Yugo *~*~*~*~*~*~
Alice: Who's next on our checklist?
Yugo: Um, Long.
Alice: Oh great! We don't even know where he lives! And what about Kenji?
Yugo: I'm going to wait for a ransom here.
Alice: But then, what about Long?
Yugo: I don't know where he lives.
Alice: Then how do we find him?
Yugo: Uriko knows, remember?
Alice: Oh yeah.
Yugo: You take Uriko over there and see if he did it!
Alice: But how do we know he was training?
Yugo: Let Uriko or you battle against him. He'll be out of shape if he hasn't been training. He had to let Uriko fight Shenlong when we first met him, courtesies of the ZLF, because he claimed to be out of shape. He said he was too weak!
Alice: Okay, we'll leave right now!
Alice ran up the stairs, told Uriko to put on her fighting uniform, and to visit Long with her. The two girls went outside, and walked to the edge of town.
Alice: Uriko? How do we get to Long's cave?
Uriko: I walked, to tell the truth.
Alice: =_=
Uriko: Alice?
Alice: At least it's good exercise!
The two girls trudged on, going into the mountains and to Long's cave.
~*~*~*~*~*~* Kenji *~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenji opened one eye. The other was unable to open. Why? Because it had something gooey on it.
Kenji: Oh great, now I'm bleeding from my head and have my eyelashes stuck together. Life is grand!
He decided to let his eye stay closed. What would he do if the dried up blood dripped into his eye? He couldn't rub it, so might as well leave it be. He sighed. Maybe this was the end of his life. Maybe he was supposed to die.
Kenji: But I can't help to think, why am I captured? What does anybody want with me? Does the murderer realize I'm close? Do I even realize I'm close? I'm sure I'm not even close. What did I do to get captured? Perhaps I'm a ransom hostage? I hate being a hostage though. this is crap. Why me? I had almost no relationships with Ms. Nonomura. Who is behind all this? What happened? Why Ms. Nonomura of all the people?
Kenji pondered about this when he saw somebody standing in the shadows.
Kenji: Come out and show yourself!
A timid creature stepped out. She was young, VERY young.
Kenji: A little. girl? What are you doing here, little one?
The girl seemed frightened. She gasped and ran into the wall behind her.
Kenji: Watch out for that wall, you'll hurt yourself!
The girl edged away, and Kenji noticed something. She was dirty. Her hair was a mess, her clothes torn and mud stained. Where had this girl been?!
Kenji thinking: Wait! What is a little girl doing here? Does she have a family? Am I in a basement? It's possible. But she looks like she's an orphan.
The little girl scooted closer to him.
Little girl: You. Kenji?
Kenji: Yes, my name is Kenji! What about you?
Kenji thought that if he was kind and gentle enough, the girl would tell him where he was at and untie him.
Little girl: Me?
Kenji: Yes, you.
Little girl: Me? Really? You wanna know 'bout me?
Kenji: Yes, why does this surprise you?
Little girl: You nice! I like you!
Kenji was confused now. Then a thought hit him. How did this little girl know his name?
Kenji: How do you know about my name?
Little girl: Your name? Kenji!
Kenji: Er, yes, I'm fully aware of that, but what's YOUR name?
The little girl shook her head and came close to his face. She blinked a couple of times. Kenji was uncomfortable with the girl that close to his face. The little girl laughed a bit, then put her face next to his ear.
Little girl: My name is, Rika!
Kenji: Your name is Rika?
Rika: Yup!
Kenji: Now, can you tell me where I'm at?
Rika: You nowhere. You here!
Kenji: Um, but where exactly IS here?
Rika: Just, here! Here here!
Kenji thinking: This girl is confusing. I'm not getting any information out of her.
Kenji: Could you be nice for a second and untie these ropes?
Rika: Untie? Ropes? Um.
Kenji: What's the matter?
Rika: Rika not s'pposed to.
Kenji: Why not?
Rika: 'Cause THEY'LL get mad.
Kenji: They?
Rika: Uh huh!
Kenji: And who are 'they'?
Rika: Meanies! They are meanies! Big fat meanies!
Kenji: Okay.
Rika: But Rika will untie them 'cause Rika like you.
Kenji: Thanks Rika!
Rika untied the knot carefully. She seemed like she was skilled at this. The ropes fell to the side and the blood rushed back to his arms and legs. He could move again!
Kenji: Thanks Rika. Now, where is the door?
Rika: Door? There is no door.
Kenji: Then how did you get in here?
Rika: I dunno. Rika just hide in woods and never seed her mommy or daddy again!
Kenji: What were you doing in the bushes?
Rika: Rika looked for kitty! Kitty's name is Kitkat!
Kenji: Do you remember what happened when you first got here?
Rika: A meanie came! They were mean to Rika! See the bruises they gave Rika?
Rika held out her arm and many blue and black bruises lined all around her arm.
Kenji: Rika, I promise I'll find a way out of here!
Rika: Kenji can really do that?
Kenji: Yes, I will get you and me out of here!
Rika: And Rika can see mommy and daddy?
Kenji: Yes, you will se your mother and father again!
Rika: Kenji's the best! Kenji can save me and him!
Kenji thinking: Now I've got to find a way out! I can't break a promise!
Kenji stood up, and the little girl followed. He felt the walls. So it WAS a basement. He could see a door. It was too high to reach, and besides, he couldn't carry the little girl up there with him. It was probably locked anyway. He noticed that there was a light under the doorway. Somebody was here. Where the hell was he?!
~*~*~*~*~*~* Alice and Uriko *~*~*~*~*~*~
Uriko: Master Long?
Alice: Long, are you there?
Long walked out, and seemed surprised at the girl's appearance. He wasn't expecting them to come over, so why were they here?
Long: Yes, Uriko?
Uriko: Um, Master Long, it's been such a while that we fought, that I wondered if we could, fight?
Long: Uriko, are you sure about this? I have been training.
Uriko: Okay! Bring it on!
Long charged at Uriko. She sidestepped but he tripped her. Uriko stood up, and rubbed her head. She tried charging at him. She kicked three times in his face, then landed on her feet. Long pulled her arm, and she couldn't protect herself. Long pulled off a combo. PUNCH! KICK! Hits here and there, then his ultimate punching move. He beat her chest with his fists, and Uriko fell on the damp, moist ground. Uriko kicked herself up, and tried the next best thing. She ran to him, and transformed. She knocked him down, and she quickly pounced and him. He pushed her off, and decided to transform as well, but had to wait for the perfect moment. Uriko ran to him, and when she was in range, he turned into his tiger form. Uriko flew into the rocks, and almost lost consciousness, but regained herself. She stood up and hissed. Now she was in a cramped corner. He ran to her, this was her only chance until she gained enough energy for another beast mode attack. He was only a few feet away from him. She leapt off the ground, and ran to the cliff side. Long stopped and Uriko fell onto his shoulders. She beat his head in with her fists. She did her final punch then jumped off of him. He fell onto the floor, still a tiger though. Uriko walked carefully up to him.
Uriko: M-Master Long?
Long jumped up and kicked her face. Uriko fell onto the rocks, once again. He used his finish move, and caught Uriko right when she stood up. He hit her once, then twice, then a laser type attack flew from his hands and Uriko flew backwards.
Uriko: WAHHHHHHHHH!
She flew through the rocks, breaking them with her tiny body. Alice ran to Uriko. She was still breathing. This girl could take a lot.
Alice: Okay Long. I get it. You have been training. It wasn't a lie, was it?
Long: That is what I was trying to tell you.
Alice: Sorry, we were just checking, you see, Kenji is missing.
Long: Kenji? When was he last seen?
Alice: We believe that he was at the pond in the park in town last.
Long: Why do you say that?
Alice: Because we found his sweater there, wet and muddy.
Long: You are sure it is his?
Alice: His name was on the tag. Is that enough proof?
Long: I give you the best of luck on locating that boy.
Alice: Thanks Long. We'll see you later. Good bye!
Alice leaned over Uriko and picked her up. Uriko was still unconscious. Alice made her way down the mountain, with Uriko in her arms.
Alice: At least Long's off the list.
So, how'd you people like it? And don't worry about Rika, she's a semi- important character in the story. Anyway, I'm tired of the moronic questions. And just to let you know, it's almost midnight here and I haven't had sleep for 37 hours. ^^;; Okay, I'll sleep now. hope you review! And to the people who do review, you're the best! See ya. laterz!
