weren't going to go into the whole screaming maze scenario, but I will! ^_^
Anyways, here's chapter 2, and for those of you wondering, I changed the title from "The Haunted Maze of Doom" because I felt it was a bit long...oh well...so now it's just the "Maze of Doom" and thanks to you who did review, I appreciate it lots and lots! *Throws the reviewers Yu Yu Hakusho plushies*
And I'd like to thank TheBlackRavenOfDarkness for Kuwa's downfall...Thanks! *throws an extra-large Yu Yu Hakusho plushie*
Disclaimer: Why do we all have these?! Its stupid, I mean I really don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, Yoshihiro Togashi does...and unless I'm him, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho! And I don't own TheBlackRavenOfDarkness's Kuwa idea...but I do own Ayisa...she is the only character I own...oh and I own the little boy and ice cream man from chapter 1...
Ok, now after my rambling and thanks, here's chapter 2!
*********************
Somewhere off at the end of the maze...
*********************
Just as things couldn't possibly get worse, Genkai found a large wrapped package hiding by the door. She opened it up and called the others around. Inside the package was a large frosted cake. Their eyes grew wide and they dug in, leaving only the small crumbs. Little did they know, the cake was almost 90% pure sugar...the other 10% was synthetic sugar...They had thought the cake was a little sweet, but they didn't care.
"Kido, Yana, why don't you go pay a visit to Yusuke and Kuwabara. They seem to be hopelessly lost and need some assistance..." Genkai slyly ordered. "I'll send some of my "old" friends ahead to help."
"Right away!" With that, they went off into the maze, leaving Mitarai and Genkai behind.
********************
Yusuke and Kuwabara trailed off from the group and walked down an unknown path. The lights dimmed and they could hardly see a thing. It was almost as if they were out in the middle of a midnight cornfield.
"Urameshi, I don't like the looks of this. Something doesn't feel right." Kuwabara said, his voice shaking a bit. "I don't feel like we're in the building anymore..."
"Aw just leave it be Kuwabara, the faster we get through this the faster we get those tickets." Yusuke said as he continued to walk.
Little did Yusuke know, that Kuwabara was correct in thinking they were no longer inside the part of the maze held indoors. It was now pitch black outside as they continued through the maze. Suddenly, Yusuke stepped in a puddle from the rain last night and he looked down.
"Wait, a puddle? Where are we!?" He yelled.
"Like I said before, I didn't think we were still in the building. The maze must lead outside." They continued to walk for quite some time in a straight line until they came to another fork in the path. "Which way do we go now?" Kuwabara asked.
"Don't ask me! You're the one with spiritual awareness!" Yusuke snapped. All he was really thinking about was the tickets. The seats must be pretty good, what if they were front row? He would be so close to the ring, oh he couldn't even imagine the glory.
"Right...Why did I half to have the spirit awareness?" He grumbled. He looked down each isle and then closed his eyes. He could feel tremendous power down each path and couldn't decide which was safer so he opened his eyes and pointed down the path leading to the right. "This one! This one doesn't seem dangerous at all."
They began to walk down the right path and Kuwabara went and peaked around the corners just before walking out, just in case of danger.
"What are you doing that for?" Yusuke asked, looking back at the cautious punk. "You said this path wasn't dangerous."
"Like I told you earlier, seriously Urameshi, don't you listen, something just doesn't feel right. I think we're being followed." Kuwabara said as he turned around and looked into the darkness of the night.
"Riiiight..." Yusuke said as he too looked back and saw nothing. "I think you're getting a bit fuzzy on the awareness thing..."
They continued to walk, Kuwabara in front of Yusuke and still peaking around corners. Once they came to the next corner, Kuwabara and Yusuke looked to the right and saw...a figure standing up against the wall. The figure stood there stiff as a board and didn't seem to be alive. It looked like a large, ghostly scarecrow with straw coming out of its clothes. They stood there staring at the figure for about a minute and then decided that it was just a statue left to scare them. They kept on walking and Yusuke looked back because he thought he had felt a bit of energy and saw the "statue" coming right for them.
"Oh my god its alive!" He screamed and Kuwabara turned and saw the figure advancing on them as well. They ran blindly through the dark not watching where they were going. Suddenly, a boney hand reached out from the ground grabbing for Kuwabara's foot. He sensed it and jumped with a loud yelp.
They charged through, to scared to think, when Yusuke stopped and said, "Wait, I'll just blast them with my spirit gun!" He held out his right index finger and it began to glow. "Spirit Gun!" The blast went right for the ghostly scarecrow, but went right through it. They watched as the spirit gun came out the back of the figure and shoot up into the sky, the scarecrow, untouched. "W-what just happened?" Yusuke asked, starting to get confused. He fired his shotgun at the hands reaching up from the ground and as each of them were hit, they cringed a bit and continued to reach out, more strongly than before.
"Urameshi, I don't think this is going to work!" Kuwabara yelled, "Come on, we have to get out of here!" They continued to run from the ghost scarecrow and as they came around the corner, they felt a chill and everything became foggy for a moment and then everything was clear. "W- what was that?"
They turned around and saw that they had run through yet another ghost. "Y- you mean we just ran through that thing?!" Yusuke shrieked. He fumbled around trying to get a hold of the walkie-talkie Kurama had given him, but when he reached for his belt, he found he was grabbing for nothing. "W- what happened to the walkie-talkie?!"
"You Lost It?!" Kuwabara yelled.
"It must have come loose and fallen when we were running back there! Besides, I wouldn't have lost it if you had said this was the dangerous path! We could be strolling down the other path right now without a care in the world!"
"B-but we can't go back now!" Kuwabara stuttered, not wanting to tell him that the other path had sensed dangerous as well. "We'll be killed!"
"I know that! But what are we going to do?!" Yusuke yelled back.
Their feet kept running as they kept checking over their shoulders to see how close the ghostly figures were from catching up. After seeing that the closest ghost was only five feet away, the two boys ran even faster. They dodged corners and went through turns until they came to a dead end.
"Oh, this is just great. We get our exercise running and die because you were stupid enough to send us this way!" Yusuke yelled as they came to a halting stop.
"How was I supposed to know this way had ghosts and zombies!? The other way sensed just as dangerous and I just picked to go this way!" Kuwabara shot back.
"But this led to a dead-end!" Yusuke snapped.
"Get off it Urameshi! We're going to die and you know it unless we can somehow get past these things!"
"Ok, ok, lets just calm down and think for a minute." (HDG: yeah like they would actually think...) Yusuke said. He looked at the wall and noticed a crack in it. He felt around the crack and found it to be a door. "Hey look what I found!"
They opened the door, revealing a large indoor room. They ran in and slammed the door shut. "But Urameshi! Ghosts can go through walls!"
"Don't worry you fools, those ghosts won't come in here." A voice said. The lights turned on and filled the room, revealing two figures. "I see you've found our secret door." Kido congratulated. "But now you've got to deal with us." He spread his arms out at his sides and suddenly, Yusuke and Kuwabara felt as if they had just passed through dimensions.
"H-his territory! D-don't let him step on you're shadow!" Yusuke yelled.
"Ah, so you remember my power Yusuke Urameshi." Kido laughed.
"Kido, why are you doing this?" Yusuke asked, "And you Yana, what gives?"
"We're different now, fighting for the good of everything happy got to be a bit sickening after a while." Yana answered.
"So we've decided to turn over a new leaf, work for everything evil, but first, we had to take care of you and your friends first Urameshi." Kido finished. He took a step forward, taking him closer to Yusuke and Kuwabara. They took a step back, bringing their shadows farther from the new Kido.
"Don't count on it!" Yusuke threatened, "We'll beat you up so bad, you'll be begging us to go easy on you." What he hadn't realized, was that Yana had stepped off to the side and was now behind them. Yana ran up behind Kuwabara and tapped his shoulder.
Kuwabara turned around and let out a "Huh?" and was smacked in the face. He fell backwards and stumbled to keep his balance. "Ok that's it!" He brought out his spirit sword and ran at Yana. Yana stepped to the side and stuck his foot out. Kuwabara tripped and fell to the ground, his spirit sword disappearing. Kido stepped forward and began to walk towards Kuwabara.
"Oh no you don't!" Yusuke yelled and gave Kido a punch to the gut, careful to keep his shadow out of reach. Kido staggered back, but was on his feet after just moments. "Darn you!" Yusuke growled.
The four boys continued to punch and kick each other until Kido gave Yusuke a side-kick to his back and sent him flying. Kido began to once again walk towards Kuwabara. Yana grabbed Kuwabara's hands and held them behind his back. Big mistake, Kuwabara let out his spirit sword, shooting energy up at Yana's face. Yana jumped back in surprise, releasing Kuwabara's arms. Kuwabara jumped at Yana who punched him once again in the face, this time, sending a large orange object flying. "I-it's gone!" Kuwabara screamed, rubbing his shiny head.
"Yusuke struggled to lift his head and saw Kuwabara's "hair" sitting next to him. "Wait, you're bald?"
"S-shut up Urameshi! My sis cut off all my hair on accident so I bought this to cover it up."
Suddenly, Kuwabara found it impossible to move. "I have you now Kazuma Kuwabara!" Kido laughed, too bad I don't have a camera! This moment is priceless! First, you're bald, and second, you're going to die!"
Kuwabara groaned and stood motionless, frozen in time, only able to talk and breath. "It's too bad you have to die, you could have helped us, joined our side, Master would have liked that..." Yana said as he walked towards Kuwabara with a large dagger.
"Oh no you don't!" Yusuke said, forcing himself up. "I'll get you!" He ran towards Kido and Yana, only to see Kido's foot a second too late.
Kido shifted his foot, so his foot stood over Yusuke's shadow. Now Yusuke was immobile as well.
"Urameshi!" Kuwabara shrieked, "They're gonna kill me!"
Yana continued to walk towards Kuwabara, laughing. "Say goodbye to your friend!" He brought the dagger down, slicing through Kuwabara, sending a blood-curdling scream throughout the room.
"NO!!!!!!!!!! Yusuke yelled out! How could you do that!?" He struggled to move, but to no prevail. Kido released his grasp on Yusuke's shadow and Yusuke ran at Yana. Kido stuck out his foot, tripping Yusuke, then placing his foot over his shadow once again. Yana walked over and placed his hand on Yusuke's head and laughed.
"Poor Yusuke, now no one will trust him..." Yana looked up with Yusuke's brown eyes and slicked back his black hair. "Ah, and now I see, you split off into groups, Kurama's all by himself, hm..."
"You, you monster!" Yusuke said as he looked at his duplicate. Yana had copied his appearance, his abilities, and his memories.
"Here Yana, you'll need these." Kido said as he tossed Yusuke's clothes into Yana's arms. Now Yusuke lay on the ground in his black boxers. Kido dragged him, careful to keep his foot on part of Yusuke's shadow, to a small storage closet, in the corner. "We'll be back when it is time..."
"You won't get away with..." But the door slammed shut and within the metal room, there was no escape.
