Chapter 6: the battle of the Grim Rippers, and the unusual attacks.

In the kitchen, Botan yelp in fright. "Botan, it's just the door. Now help me search this place out!" Yusuke said. "What are you looking for?" "Anything that looks strange. You know, floors with openings, traps, secret rooms hidden by fake walls, all that stuff! I checked Hiei and found out about something." "What!" Yukina asked the second Yusuke mentioned her brother. Yusuke walked to the body, touched some blood with his index finger, and licked the blood off the finger. "This blood tastes familar." "Yusuke, that's disgusting!" the girls screamed. "Besides, you did lick blood off of your own wounds, how's that different, besides Hiei being a demon?!" Botan added.

Before Yusuke could answer, the wall slided open, reviling Jake, hidding his form in his Grim Ripper outfit. "Heh heh heh. Three more victums to drag into hell! Who wants to go first!" he asked, in the skeleton-like tone. "And who, may I ask, are you?!" Yusuke and Botan questioned, at the same time. Jake just gave out more menaceing laughter. "Well that's a first! Looks like you're so scared, you forgot my name! Some people knew me as Jack, While other know me as the Grim Ripper!" he answered. For a minute, everything was silent, before Yusuke and Botan fell to the ground with laughter.

"Alright, what's so funny! Do I smell? Or is my fly showing?" Jake demanded. "No.....it's not.....that.....it's just that....there's no way...that your....the Grim Ripper." Yusuke said, choking in his laughter. "What! What do you mean! How can I not be the bringer of death!" he questioned. "Because....I..I...I am. I've...been...all my...life." Botan cried in laughter, having trouble breathing. Then the two instintly stopped there, because only those who can enter Spirit World were surpose to know that, no one else. They just saw Jake fall to the ground on his knees, holding onto himself, while laughing. "YOU!!! A GRIM RIPPER!!!! OH, THIS IS PRICELESS!!!" he said, forcing the words out of his mouth. "And what makes you think I'm not!" she shouted.

When Jake finished, he standed up and said "Since when did the messager of death have long blue hair!" "What's wrong with my hair!" "It doesn't go with the title! And since when does a Grim Ripper wear a pink kimono! You look like you've wore that thing all the time, even to work!" "We don't wear anything that looks like we worship someone you call the devil!" "And where's your tools that you use on the job!" Jake questioned. Botan showed him her oar and metal bat. "Now tell me exactly how do you kill people, using only those things! Do you just wack them to death?!" "Well, she does wack everybody she meets." Yusuke answered, before getting a taste of Botan's oar. "They're not for killing! Besides, the only thing a Grim Ripper does is show people to the afterlife, not kill them!" "Well then, if that's all you do, then once I'm done, you'll have to deliver your friends here and yourself!!! If only my last victum was still here. I would of enjoyed the look on his face!" Then the thought strucked Yukina. "You killed my brother! You're the one who killed him!" "Don't worry, you'll join him soon enough!"

Then Jake took out his Scythe and moved swiftly towards Yusuke, getting ready to swing the deadly weapon. "SPIRIT GUN!!!!" Yusuke shoot the bullet at Jake. The 'Grim Ripper' just shruged, before slicing the attack into two, making it disappear. "WHAT THE HELL!!!! MY SPIRIT GUN!!!" Yusuke said shockingly, just looking at where the attack disappeared at, not noticing the fact that Jake went behind him and knocked him out with the stick end on the Scythe. "YUSUKE!!!!" Botan cried, running up to the punk, in fear.(A/N: Hey! Who wouldn't be if they saw his attack get cut in half and knock out the strongest guy on the spirit team!) "Guys! Help! There's a murderer in here!" Yukina screamed, trying to open the door she came in from. She heard Kurama say "Don't worry! We're almost through!" before she was knocked out by Jake. Then he looked over to Botan. "Two down, and one little Botan to go." he said, before walking up to Botan, who backed away into a corner, cowering in fright. "D...D...Don't co....ome any...any...closer...or....I'll......I'll....." she shutterd. "Or you'll what? Scream? Cuz that's music to MY ears! I know! Why don't you try to prove to me that you're the Grim Ripper?! It's not that hard! All you just have to do is kill me and take me to Hell, that's all!" Jake challenged.

Botan just backed away into a corner, trying to hold onto her bat. "Do...Don't c...c...come any...cl..cl..closer. I...I..I have a bat!" Jake just smirked. "This was much easier than I thought!" he told the ferry girl, before wacking her in the head. "And another one bites the dust!" Jake dragged the three into the secret doorway. Then the door unlocked after Jake closed the fake wall. "Yusuke!" Kagome screamed, seeing another fake realitic dummy corpse that looked like her cousin. But before they could run up to the 'bodies,' all the cupboards doors in the kitchen swunged open and blood came gushing out of them. What little courage everyone(including Amy, not expecting this to happen) had, disappeared, leaving everyone screaming when they recieved the tidal wave.(and I do mean recieved, for now their clothes are soaked in blood) 'JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!' "What!" 'I thought we agreed after Miroku 'death,' to decrease the amount of blood use for the rest of the night! Not increase!' "What?" Then Jake looked at the monitor. "Oops, sorry about that! I forgot that I placed that stuff there! I must of forgot to disable the trigger to that, which is to the door when it's opened up completely, the knob touching the wall." 'Well, then you better make sure that you disable the other traps that we don't need to have, since that one took a toll on their fears.' "Fine! I think I'll lead you and the others outside. Just look out the window."

Amy looked out the window and saw Jake wearing a white sheat(ghost) and carrying a sword that had what looks like blood on it. "The sheet is just to make it look like I'm some idiot. The sword is to convence everyone that I did those deaths." he spoked in the small microphone. "YOU!!!!" Kurama said, who was behind Amy. Jake ran off and everyone that's 'alive' ran after him. They lost track 2 mins. later. "Okay, everyone! We'll have to split up." Kagome told the group. After much convencing, Kagome, and Sango were going to look around the outside of the mansion, Shippo and Keiko would look in the shed and around it, and Kurama and Amy in the Greenhouse.

*~*~*~Greenhouse~*~*~*

"Didn't know your grandfather had so many exotic plants in here." Kurama said, looking around. The greenhouse had almost EVERY plant in the world. There were even different rooms that each raises a group of plants that the others couldn't surpport. "It's a hobby of his!" was Amy's reply. 'Now who is Jake going to attack next, I wonder?' she just thought, looking around to see if he might appear. They were in the rose area, when it happened. A group of roses around Kurama grew at an alarming rate, and started binding him. Amy acted like she was freaked out at the scene. She ran out, to get 'help' from the others.

Hours later, Amy appeared back with Kagome, Keiko and Sango. Then all four REALLY freaked out, even Amy, when they saw the sight of Kurama! Kurama was still binded by the roses, but now the roses had him in a laying postion on the floor. Everyone saw that the stems of the roses went inside Kurama's ass, and went through his body from the inside, and the rose petals were sticking out through his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. There was NO way he could of lived through that!!!! 'JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!' "What? I'm not done here yet?" Amy hear from her speaker. 'It was bad enough to chop Miroku's dummy up, but you went WAY TOO FAR WITH KURAMA'S!!!!!!!!!' "Wha..." 'You heard me!' "I did no such thing with Kurama!!! I'm doing something with Shippo right now, but I don't remember anything about attacking Kurama!" 'Jake, I was with Kurama when it happened! How many people do you know controls plants!!!' "Let's see, there's me. OH! And there's you....Did you say plants?!" 'No, I meant hamsters. Of course I said plants!' "I don't like this! Just get everybody out of the greenhouse, NOW!" "Keiko, where's Shippo?" Sango asked. "Oh! I must of left him near the well!" she told the group. "Let's get out of here!" Kagome told.

When the group looked where Shippo was last seen, which was near a well, they started looking for him, which didn't take long. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! SHIPPO!!!!!!!!!!!!" they heard Kagome scream, when they had just agreed to split up. "Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked. For the answer, Kagome pointed at the well, saying "Look!" They found Shippo's body down there. When they got the 'body' out, Kagome and Keiko were in tears, for Shippo was white-skinned and soaked in water. 'JAKE!!!!! We were surpose to scare our guest, NOT TERIFFY THEM TO DEATH!!!!!!' Amy shouted in her mind-link. "What? Leaving that fox dummy next to the well, looking like he died seeing a ghost, couldn't have scared you all that much?" 'Leaving the dummy NEXT to the well? It was found IN the well!!! Two of the girls are crying their tears out right now, finding him like that!' "But I didn't throw the thing IN, I......I think you all better get in the mansion right away! I don't think we're the only ones pulling these jokes!" Amy looked at the three girls, Sango trying to comfort the other two. 'What about Inuyasha? He's lost his mind!' "Better him than meeting that same person who pulled that thing on Kurama!" Then Amy convenced the others to get back into the house.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Me: Dun Dun Duuuunnnnn!!!! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!! Now you know that someone else is pulling these pranks, and Amy and Jake doesn't know who!!!! But the real question is, are these things being pulled by the new guy even pranks? Kurama, as far as we know it that wasn't attacked by this person, now has thorns and stems of different types of roses channeling thoughout his intier body. Tell me how you think of this chapter, since the other ones were serpose to tell you what Jake and Amy were doing there.
