Chapter 3:
Kiena stared in horror at the empty bed. "He can't be gone, he can't be." She pulled back the covers more and found a note: If you want to see your red-haired, bratty brother again, then you must bring five poisonous snakes to the big oak tree by the edge of the closest park by 10:00 tonight. If you don't. you know what will happen.
"Five poisonous snakes? I can't bring five of them. One might be possible, but five?" she thought in despiration. "How am I to get five snakes to the park tonight? Maybe Kiera or Keriko will help me."
Kiriko Nakamura and Kiera Nakamura are cousins as well as her best friends. They love to hang out together, and she knew that they would help her.
She raced down the stairs and grabbed the phone off the hook. She called both of her friends, explained the situation, and told them where to meet her. She then raced out the door to the meeting spot and waited for her two friends to show up. They came five minutes later, and all of them discussed how to get the poisonous snakes. Their parents were all sleeping, so they would not be of any help. they needed a plan.
Kiena was thinking about Shinta while the other two told her their ideas. Tears came unexpectedly to her eyes, it was an almost impossible task. Kiera and Kiriko could see how upset hteir friend was, and decided without speaking the right thing to do.
"Kiena," Kiriko said. "He wasn't kidnapped. He wanted this to be a prank, but it's not funny. We can both see that."
"He wasn't? And you two knew about it?"
"We did," said Kiera."But we didn't expect you to cry."
"That's alright. Guys, I've just thought of a plan. Let's make a fourteen yearold twin cry." She said maliciously. They all hudled up, and Kiena told them her plan.
"Shinta! Shinta!" Kiera dashed out of a clearing. "Shinta! Come quick!"
"What?" Came a groggy reply.
"Shinta! You should be ashamed of your silly little prank!"
"Why? I thought it was pretty funny. I got it all on tape."
"Well, you'd better come quick. Unless you'd rather let your sister die."
"WHAT!?! What do you mean die?" "She got bitten, trying to grab a poisonous snake. What did you pick snakes for? You know snakes are her worst fear, and poisonous ones at that!" Kiera yelled at him. "But."
"Come on! We have to save her!" Kiera sprinted back to the clearing, Shinta hot on her heels.
When they reached the clearing, Kiriko was on her knees, shaking an unconcious Kiena.
"Kiena!" Shinta shouted. "come on, wake up." He shook her slightly. "Please, Kiena. You have to wake up! Please." Tears came to Shinta's eyes. "It wasn't supposed to be like this! You weren't supposed to get bitten! Kiera and Kiriko were supposed to get some nonpoisonous ones at the pet store. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand. Please Kiena, please wake up." Shinta stared at her through teary eyes.
"Oh, Shutup already."
"Oro!?!"
Smack! Kiena sat up and smacked him on his cheek, leaving a bruise and a red mark. "You idiot! That was the most terrible prank I have ever had the misfortune to be part of, and the victim at that! You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Poisonous snakes! What were you thinking! You know I hate snakes, and poisonous ones are dangerous! Dangerous, Shinta!" It went on like that for a while longer, until Shinta and Kiena were both red in the face, and Kiena had run out of breath and was losing her voice from screaming so much.
"Hey, you played one on me too! And it was pretty dirty! Pretending to get bitten by a snake, you really could have been, you should have told mom and dad! But no, you wanted to be the hero, didn't you? You wanted to save me, and I ask you , what in the world were you."
"Wanted to be a hero!?! The note was ment for me you idiot! It said your brother! Not your son or just Shinta! So, I ask you, what was the point of that!?! We're probably late for school, and we even made Kiera and Kiriko late!"
"Why aren't you yelling at them?! They were part of this too!"
"They told me the truth, you numbskull! They also helped me come up with this plan, moron!"
"oh."
"yeah, Oh. Is that all you can say!?!"
"No. I'm sorry, ok. I just thought it would be funny, to see you worked up about something. Could you forgive me?"
"I can and I do, but pease don't do it again." Kiena said, gaving her brother a hug. "Come on, it's time to go to school."
They got up and walked down the steet as a group.
"Hmmm.well, that's interesting," came a voice, "very interesting."
