Chapter 6
An Attempt to remove the Hand-Trap
"Akiyama! What the heck is this??!!" said Rika trying to pull her wrist free.
"How am I supposed to know what the heck is this??!!" said Ryo trying to cut the hand-trap.
"If this is the 'rare and interesting' item that the guy was talking about, then he'll wish that he'd never been born when I'm done with him!!!!" yelled out Rika as if she were trying to warn Jim to start running away.
"Okay Rika, just calm down, it's just a rubber handcuff, nothing we can't remove, all we need is a pair of sharp scissors" said Ryo trying to calm Rika down.
"I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind!!!!" said Rika as she angrily went to the entrance of the tunnel dragging Ryo along.
-------
When Rika and Ryo were out of sight, Kazu and Kenta went out of the tunnel ad hid behind a pile of crates.
"Boy Kazu, Rika seems pretty angry" said Kenta.
"Don't worry, we won't be busted as long as they don't find out" said Kazu who was a bit scared. "It's almost 6:00 pm and look at the great footage I filmed!"
"Kazu you're going to be so busted when Rika and Ryo find out about this!" said Takato.
"And the plan was to get them to be together, and not to literally do it!" said Jeri.
"It's okay, here's what we'll do" said Kazu coming up with a plan so as not to get busted. "We'll approach them and tell them that we know how to remove it, right Takato?"
"Well the thing is, when you grabbed the hand-trap, you also grabbed the instructions on how to remove it, so the instructions on how to remove it are with you" said Takato.
"I remembered seeing you diving with the had-trap and a piece of paper" said Kenta.
"OH NO! It's still in the tunnel! I have to get it or else I'll be so busted!" said Kazu as he ran to the exit of the tunnel which was unfortunately closed.
"Noooooo!!! This can't be!!!" said Kazu who started panicking.
"Calm down Kazu, we'll just go to the entrance and ask Jim to open it" said Henry trying to calm down Kazu.
"That is if he's still in one piece" said Jeri.
"Oh yeah, I remembered seeing Rika ad Ryo go to Jim" said Takato.
"I am doomed!" said Kazu fainting on the ground.
"Or we can just ask the store keeper how to remove it!" suggested Henry.
"Yeah, that's a great idea! Let's go now!" said Kazu.
"But all the booths, are closed, and we're the only people here including Rika and Ryo" said Jeri.
"Why does this all have to happen to me??!!" said Kazu.
"It was your idea, so now you must face the consequences" said Takato.
"Maybe, if you confess what you did to both of them, then they might let you of easy" said Henry trying to make Kazu do the right thing.
"This is Rika we're talking about! She'll never let anyone, especially me to get away with it!!" said Kazu who continued fainting.
"Dead man walking" said Kenta sarcastically.
-------
"Where is that guy??!!" said Rika scanning around for Jim.
"The tunnel of love's already closed, so I'm guessing that he already left" said Ryo.
"Nice theory Einstein, now what do we do??!!" said Rika sarcastically. While looking around for Jim, the other Tamers approached them and are acting as if they do not know about their situation yet.
"Hey guys, what's up?" said Jeri.
"Where were you guys??!! We've had enough trouble for one day in this stupid carnival, now help us get rid of this stupid thing!" said Rika as she lifted her hand, and at the same time, lifting Ryo's hand. "
What is that green thing around your wrist?" said Suzie who was trying her best not to spill the beans.
"It's some sort of rubber handcuff" said Ryo.
"Maybe we can try to…um…remove it…um…at your house Rika…" said Kazu nervously which made Rika suspicious.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're all hiding something from us?" said Rika suspiciously.
"Uhummmm…no…we…we…aren't hiding anything from you" said Kenta as Ryo started to see something suspicious.
"Hey, why are you and Kazu wearing windbreakers and sunglasses?" asked Ryo.
Umm…well…you see…" said Kazu and Kenta trying to think of an excuse.
"You two look like those people who were riding behind us in the Ferris wheel!" said Rika.
"And Kenta looks like the one who was behind us in that stupid tunnel of love!" continued Ryo.
"Well…you…see…" said Kazu taking a step back.
"What's going on??!!" Rika asked the Tamers.
"Wait Rika…let me explain…" said Kazu while taking a few steps back, and then accidentally dropping the video cam from his wind breaker.
'Kazu is so busted' thought Henry, Takato, Jeri, Kenta, and the rest of the tamers.
"What is this??!!" asked Rika. Ryo picked up the video cam as Kazu fell down to the ground and was too scared to move.
When Rika and Ryo played the video cam, it was a footage of Rika and Ryo. And to make matters worse, they found out that Kazu was the one who wrapped the hand-trap around their wrists.
"KAZU!" said Rika as she clenched her fist and prepared to punch Kazu. "If you get this rid of this thing, I JUST MIGHT LET YOU OFF EASY!!! And that includes you too Kenta!!"
"But it was all Kazu's idea! I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen!" explained Kenta.
"Traitor!" said Kazu as he was trying his best to breathe since Rika was clutching his shirt so tightly.
"Well Kenta has a point you know, and it was your idea to bring along the video cam" said Takato.
"TELL US HOW TO GET RID OF THIS STUPID THING!!!!!" yelled Rika as she clutched Kazu's shirt tighter.
"Well…um…you…see…it was Takato's fault! He was the one who bought it in the first place!" said Kazu as he explained to them what happened and that he didn't know how to remove it. Rika let go of Kazu's shirt as he started crawling away.
"Takato! How do you get rid of this thing!" yelled Rika.
"I don't know how to remove it either!" said Takato.
"And besides! It was Kazu's idea to use it on you and Ryo" said Jeri as she tried to defend Takato.
"Don't forget, Kazu was the one who lost the instructions!" continued Ryo as he and Rika turned around to maim Kazu but only to find out he was getting away.
"COME BACK HERE YOU IDIOT!!!" yelled Rika as he ran after Kazu out of the amusement park dragging Ryo with herwhile the other tamers followed from behind.
------
After fifteen minutes of chasing Kazu, the tamers finally arrived at Rika's house after Ryo and Rika tied a rope around Kazu's feet, wrists, arms, and hung him from his waist on a tree in Rika's backyard.
"That feels much better, now tell us how to get rid of this thing you guys called hand-trap" said Ryo.
"We don't know how to do so… but we'll try" said Jeri
"Guys! I found the scissors!" said Kenta carrying the scissors. They tried to cut it in the middle, but all the scissors in Rika's house couldn't cut it.
"Bring out the heavy artillery!" yelled Jeri as Takato went back to the living room carrying a butcher's knife.
"You can't be serious can you Takato?!!" said Rika as she stared at the sharp blade of the knife.
"Don't worry, just move farther apart from each other so that both of you won't get hurt" said Henry.
"Remember, we want the hand-trap cut off, and not our hands" said Ryo. When Ryo and Rika were far apart from each other, Takato lifted the knife and started to chop the hand-trap. When the blade of the knife touched the hand-trap, the knife wasn't able to cut, instead, the knife bounced back and Takato accidentally let go of it. The knife landed in front of Kenta, blade first, and luckily it missed.
"Are you guys trying to kill me!" yelled Kenta as he fell down to the ground relived.
"Sorry Kenta" apologized Takato.
"Now only if that was Kazu instead of Kenta" said Rika who still mad about awhile ago.
"I've got an idea! Wait right here!" said Kenta as he looked around the house of Rika.
"A chainsaw!!??" said Ryo as he stared at the blades.
"I didn't even know we had a chainsaw in our house!!" said Rika.
"Now hold on…don't you think this is a little too dangerous? I mean, it's just a toy" said Henry.
"I guess it won't hurt to try it…" said Takato who was having second thoughts about this. Kenta has pulled the trigger, and the chainsaw started operating, Ryo and Rika stepped 5 feet apart from each other as the chainsaw's spinning blade started touching the hand-trap. After fifteen minutes of trying to cut the hand-trap, the chainsaw ran out of batteries.
"I guess they weren't kidding when they said it was unbreakable" said Ryo laughing.
"Oh shut up you bozo and start thinking of a way to remove this hand-trap thing will ya!!" yelled Rika while clenching her fist at Ryo.
"Maybe we're trying too hard" said Henry. "Maybe if we just try pulling apart the hand-trap, then we'll be able to remove it!"
"Hey why didn't I think of that?" said Jeri.
"Just hurry up and remove it will ya!" said Rika impatiently. Rika and Ryo started moving apart from each other, and they were already stretching as far as 10 meters, and the hand-trap still did not break.
"This thing is too tough!" said Ryo.
"Maybe we should try stretching it apart in your back yard since there's more space there" suggested Jeri as all the Tamers started moving out to the back yard where Kazu was still tied up.
"Hey guys! Let me down! I'm sorry already! Can't you take a joke? Hey!!" yelled Kazu as he tried to free himself from the tight ropes, but was unable to do so.
"Put a sock in it you bozo!!" yelled Rika at the dangling Kazu.
"Okay, let's just get this over with, Wildcat's getting crankier each minute!" said Ryo giving a smirk to Rika.
"Just shut up and start pulling!!" said Rika as she and Ryo started stepping apart from each other. The hand-trap got longer, but it still didn't break even if they stretched as far as 30 meters. Kenta, Henry, and Suzie pulled Ryo, while Takato, Jeri, Ai, and Mako pulled Rika.
"Guys! I don't think its working, I think we better let go!!" said Kenta as he was losing his grip.
"Don't let go!! Just go forward nice and easy" said Ryo.
"I think I heard something!" said Jeri who was on the other end.
"I think Kenta said let go of them" said Takato who misunderstood what Kenta said.
"Okay…" said Jeri, Ai, and Mako as they loosened their grip. "
NO WAIT DON'T!!" said Rika, which was too late, since they let go already. Rika came flying towards Ryo due to the force and Ryo was preparing to defend against the impact because he knows he can't avoid it.
"Watch out!" yelled Kenta as he Henry, and Suzie let go of Ryo and moved out of the way. By the time they ducked out of the way, Rika came crashing towards Ryo, causing both of them to fall down the ground will Ryo broke Rika's fall.
"Man Wildcat, I never expected you to be so heavy; so how much do you weigh?" Ryo asked Rika sarcastically while he helped her up.
"Shut up Akiyama you idiot!" said Rika as she stood up. "And you guys are going to pay for making myself feel stupid!!"
"Hey Rika, we didn't mean it…and…" explained Takato when Rika suddenly spoke.
"Kenta, the next time you mess up, I'm going to tie you up in the tree where Kazu's hanging from!" yelled Rika as Kenta gulped a nodded.
"What now?" asked Takato as he ran out of ideas.
"What if we just try burning the hand-trap?" suggested Henry as he looked at his watch which read 8:55 pm.
"Okay let's try it" said Jeri as she took out a lighter from a nearby drawer. She flicked on the lighter as put the flame under the hand-trap, but it didn't break, and what's worse, is that it caught fire.
"PUT IT OUT!" yelled Ryo as Kenta rushed in carrying a glass of cold water that he was going to drink and poured it on the hand-trap.
"For once Kenta, you did something correct…" said Rika.
"I think it's getting late, I think we better call it a day, it's already 9:00 pm" suggested Henry as to avoid anymore accidents.
"What are we going to do about this hand-trap??!!" asked Rika.
"Well, we can't separate it today, so we'll just try tomorrow" said Takato. "In the meantime, we have to find out where you guys are sleeping" said Jeri as she looked at the clock.
"Since Rika's mom and grandmother are going to be out for the whole week, why don't we all just stay overnight in here" suggested Henry who was too tired to walk home.
"Rika's house is big enough for all of us to stay in, so all we need to do is call our parents and tell them we're sleeping over, is that all right Rika?" asked Jeri.
"You guys already decided anyway; and besides, there's not much of a choice now is there?" said Rika.
"And what about Kazu?" asked Kenta.
"You can take him down if you like, but he sleeps in the living room" said Rika as Kenta and Takato proceeded to the tree to where Kazu was tied up in to let him down.
"Rika, we have to go home now, I don't think our mommy's gonna allow us, bye!" said Ai and Mako as they waved goodbye and went out the door.
Ryo, Rika, and Jeri took out the extra sleeping mats and laid them in the big guestroom. Ryo was a guest and she didn't want Ryo sleeping in her room, so she had no other choice but to sleep in the guestroom along with the other tamers. Kazu was given a sleeping bag, although it was still cold since it was beginning to rain again. Everyone was able to sleep even though the wind was freezing and the rain was dripping; but one of the tamers are about to wake up, maybe not because of the noise of Kenta's loud snoring, but maybe because of a dream…or a nightmare.
