Hazard: (chanting while bouncing up and down) Chapter three, chapter three, chapter three!!!

Kurama: OMG Hazard, are you like some part of a cult now? O.O

Hazard: Uh, no... no of course not.

Hazard: Boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka! (continues chanting)

Kurama: Retard -.-;

Hazard: Hello to all ya'll again and welcome to chapter three! :) First of all, I would like to say I was really disappointed with my opening two chapters, and I hope that you bore with me because (optimistically) my following chapters will be better.

Chapter Three

Shortly after Science, the gang all went to different classes and didn't see the three girls for the rest of the day, except for a few brief meetings at their lockers that were pretty much unavoidable. After school, Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara were all shown to their separate host- homes (Hazard: Why they where separated... your guess is as good as mine... but work with me here. Kurama: (mimicking in a high voice) Work with me here and I'm a big meatball... face... butt.), Botan went back to Spirit World on a command from Koenma, and the world was at peace once more. Everyone had a serene night sleep and meet at the entrance of the College the next day. Botan, however, was absent, presumably because she was still working on whatever Koenma had called her away to do.

"This is crap; this is a big pile of crap." Yusuke snarled angrily, not bothering to lower his voice as a he entered the school which was swarming with teachers... teachers who think "stupid" was an unforgivable curse word, "School sucks, life sucks, and... and... this all SUCKS!!!"

Just as Yusuke shouted his last profound piece of knowledge, a young history teacher pushed past him, tears streaming down her red face, which was distorted by her deep emotion.

"Wow... I didn't think..." Yusuke began, actually looking a little uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Kuwabara told him, nodding, "Who knew teachers actually cry?"

However, at lunch, as Yusuke and the gang entered the cafeteria, they saw a whole table full of teachers, bawling their eyes out.

"Hn." Hiei snorted, throwing the sobbing forms at the table a look of disgust as the group passed, "Weak fools."

"What Yusuke said wouldn't hurt this many teacher that bad." Kurama informed the boys as they took a seat at a table a few inches from the 'weak fools'.

"I dunno, I mean, I do have a really amazing ability to captivate people with my speeches and talking skills." Yusuke suddenly took on a very evil look and he rubbed his hands together threateningly, "No one is safe from my Powers Of Persuasion. No living person can resist The P.O.P."

As the two other guys (Hazard: Hiei wouldn't dignify the idiotic remark with an answer... Come to think of it, he barely EVER answers. Jin: 'Tis true. Hazard: Thank you Jin. I should have kidna--invited you a long time ago. Kurama: (glares at Jin) Kiss-up.) As the two other guys were about to contradict, a crackling noise coming from the P.A. system interrupted them.

"Hello students," a quivering voice floated down. The person speaking had obviously just done a lot of crying.

"What is WITH these people today?" Kuwabara asked.

"We are deeply sorry to interrupt your lunch hour," the voice continued, "but we must inform you that..." a loud sniff was heard as the announcer paused, "we must inform you that one of our most beloved students has... past away..." the speaker again paused and seemed to be blowing their nose in a tissue. It left the group enough time to realize that, that was what had been the cause of all the tears.

"I wonder who died." Was the most common question that was asked around the cafeteria.

"It is my sincere regret to tell you that... that... Jennifer Kimberly has died!" The voice began to sob uncontrollably. "Oh yeah," the voice added as an after thought, "Dominic Mahogany and Michele Managua did too."

"Wow," Yusuke said as Kuwabara burst into tears over the death of his beloved Jen, "Who knew that Miss. Hot A-s was such a teachers pet... but I can imagine why she is... well, with the men anyway." He was immediately whacked over the head with Kuwabara's lunch tray.

"All of this... this... pitiful display of weakness," Hiei asked, "was just because some pitiful fool of a human died?"

"Humans," Kurama corrected, "Michele and Dom did die too." Almost everyone ignored him.

"The lovely angel, Jennifer... and her other friends... had driven to Wet n' Wild yesterday and decided to go into the Lazy River... unfortunately, the water was to fast and strong for them, and they were dragged down into the murky and unforgiving depths." The person subsided into little sobs before continuing, "Wet n' Wild will be closed for a while, as the Lazy River must be drained to recover Jennifer's... and her friends... bodies. Please have a wonderful rest of the day." The P.A. system turned off as the announcer once again relapsed into weeping.

"Well... that was bizarre... but look on the bright side," Yusuke told everyone as they walked out of the cafeteria, "at least we'll have our own lockers now."

(Hazard: (sob) It's always so hard to kill off OC's. But this had to be done (sniff) T.T

Kurama: (sob)!!!

Hazard: O.O Wow Kurama, I didn't know you cared about the peoples so much.

Kurama: WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE MICHELE?! WHY COULDN'T HAVE DOM JUST DIED?!

Hazard: Wow, thanks retard. -.-

Jin: (sniff) It's... it's just so sad.

Hazard: Aw, well at least you care about Dom.

Jin: POOR JEN! SHE'S TOO HOT TO DIE!

Hazard: -.-; Doesn't anyone care about Dom?

(Kurama turns into Youko)

Youko: I care about Dom... Although I already had my fun with her and prolly would have killed her anyway. I'm just like that... sorry.

Hazard: :( It's fine.

Youko: Here, let me comfort you. (wink wink)

Hazard: (big smile) Yes...

(Youko leans in and... turns into Kurama)

Kurama: (looks at Hazard who is inches away from his face) EWWWW!!!! (falls backwards)

Hazard: (sigh) Stupid.

Jin&Kurama: (back in their state of mourning) (sob) WE LOVE YOU JEN AND MICHELE!

Hazard: -.-;)

------------------

A gloomy corridor was spread out in front of the dark, unclear figure. Shadows were dancing across the floor as it slowly drifted toward a small entryway, which was, if possible, even murkier then hallway.

"Pain, retribution, death... the price must be paid tonight." A voice croaked from underneath its hood and all the folds of blackness.

Yusuke's face was covered with perspiration, and contorted with fear. A bead of sweat dropped from his cheek and hit the floor with what, to Yusuke, seemed an unexpected splash.

A windowpane screeched as a frayed tree branch scratched across its surface, throwing even more unclear shapes upon the blood red carpet.

The figure halted at a cabinet, and slowly pulled open one. It stared at the contents of it, transfixed, before pulling out a shiny, metal object. You could have sworn a small smile flashed across the imposters face. It turned and began to float out of the room again, out threw the same doorway and into the hall.

Yusuke's breath came in rasps now, and he opened his mouth slightly, gasping openly for more air.

"Please... no... I..." Yusuke panted, scrunching himself up as small as he could into a corner. He felt a burning pain in his chest and recognized the symptoms of true terror, something he rarely ever experienced.

The form now came into view of Yusuke and it let out a grating laugh, before advancing on him. Sweat now began to seep off Yusuke as he tried to crumple himself into his only shelter. The figure then reached its hand into its cloak and pulled out the small, shiny object it had taken just a few seconds before. Yusuke cringed at the sight of the weapon.

"I swear, I'll never do it again!" He managed to cough out, his fear making it a real effort to even breathe.

"No Yusuke, you've done it for far too long!" the imposter's voice now took on a different sound as it pulled off its tattered hood, revealing its face.

"I'M SORRY!" Yusuke wined.

"YUSUKE YOU'RE A PERV AND YOU SHALL PAY FOR IT!" Keiko yelled, completely throwing off the black cloak and holding the spatula higher and bringing it down sharply on his hand.

"Yusuke, wake up! D—n it Urameshi, you b—rd! Get up when I'm talking to you!"

Yusuke's eyes snapped open and he started to sit bolt up right, but found he couldn't because a rather familiar face was inches from his. Kuwabara's sleepy face, complete with baggy eyes, even more messed up hair (you know... the whole shebang) peered down upon him. So, Yusuke did what any calm sleeper who has just been woken up from a nightmare by his best friend would have done; he screamed like a girl at a Plus One concert.

"What the h—l are you doing in my room at four in the morning?" Yusuke demanded after he was done screaming.

"He's with me." A bubble voice chirped. Yusuke turned to see Botan and Kurama standing at his doorway. Botan didn't look tired at all, in fact, she looked positively perky. Kurama on the other hand, looked a little ruffled, but not as bad as Kuwabara did. His hair still had its soft sheen, but could have done with a little brushing, his eyes weren't baggy, but the green didn't sparkly with his usual amusement. His continually kind smile also was a little strained. (Hazard: Sorry, this is coming from a HUGE Kurama fan... you would get that from the author notes but it is true. Kurama: Yep, she's just another psycho-frankie stalker girl... only she's weirder.)

"Koenma has called us to him, and Botan has been up since two gathering us all." Kurama informed Yusuke, suppressing a yawn.

"Hum, well, that's been a waste of time for her cause I'm not going." Yusuke snapped, pulling his covers up over his head.

"Yusuke, Koenma has summoned all of you for a most deadly and important mission that cannot wait any later." Botan told Yusuke, pushing the disgruntled Kuwabara out of her way and pulling the covers off Yusuke, "He thinks that you are strong enough, talented enough, and mature enough to handle this mission. All he asks is that you come now."

"To which the proper answer is the one I give now; GO TO H—L!"

It was half an hour later that the disgruntled Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan walked out of Yusuke's host home, where Botan had left a note, "explaining" where Yusuke had gone.

"So... how're we gunna wake up Hiei?" Yusuke asked, as they walked closer to the area where Hiei's favorite tree was located.

"Uh, I haven't really... thought... about it." Botan asked, looking a little worried.

"Great, well, I'm not gunna be the one to do it." Kuwabara said (he was so tired he actually was acting a little smart).

"It's probably not necessary." Kurama murmured, "I suppose Hiei must sleep sometime. But I've never discovered when he does it."

Botan was about to answer, but everyone looked up at the large tree and two big red eyes, seemingly floating in the air, gazed down upon them from it.

-------------(Thus ends Chapter Three)----------

(Still captivated in their small talk, unaware that the Audience is done with Chapter Three)

Jin: So, I just keep applying the ointment, like Kurama said, and, eventually, it went away.

Hazard: Well, that's good.

Jin: Tell me about it. Thanks Kurama.

Kurama: Oh no problem. :)

Hazard: Gosh Kurama, your too smart... and hot... gosh, it's not far.

Kurama: (smiles) Thanks... But do you know that apart from being incredibly smart and hot, I'm also a very talented actor?

Jin: (surprised) No.

Hazard: Really Kurama?

Kurama: Yes, they still talk of my Julius Caesar at the Theater Club I went to years ago. I'm certain nobody has ever preformed the first scene of Act three with more dedication.

(Hazard and Jin exchange glances)

Hazard: Uh, I thought Caesar was dead in that scene.

Kurama: Yeah, that's right, but as I fell after being stabbed, my toga tore open and I had to lie on stage for half an hour with the front of it completely open. Even so, I never moved a muscle. I was brilliant I tell you! You should have heard the applause.

Hazard: (staring at Kurama) Sorry I missed it.

Jin: (tug's on Hazards sleeve) Uh, Hazard, I think the audience has finished reading chapter three...

Hazard: Crap, Uh (smiles) Well, I hope you enjoyed chapter three... I personally thought it was only semi ok... But I hate everything I write... well, anyway, R&R!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! MWAH!!!
