10 Act 4 (C) : Girls Shop, Boys Carry, & Fans Chase (A Pointless Side-Story, Testiment to the Author's Pathetic Obsession) C is for Conclusion! (Hopefully)
I'M GONNA KILL THAT KENSHIN BAKA!!!! LEAVING ME HERE TO FEND FOR MYSELF AFTER CARRYING HIM SO FAR!!
I had heard a scream sounding very much like Kagome's. After turning around I felt Kenshin's palms pushing himself off my shoulder. He did this flip thing, taking off like a shot, yelling:
"GOMEN NASAI KAORU-DONO!! SHIAWASE!!"
I think the people around didn't understand the concept of, when a girl gets mad, she will kill for revenge.
Demo, the crowd seems endless. All the more butt-kicking for me to take care of. I'm still steaming, although it's getting more and more tiring. The piles of knocked out bodies are getting higher, I'm getting less angry and more desperate.
I continued hitting, jumping, dodging and kicking for who knows how long, when suddenly a giant boomarang appeared out of no were. I glanced to its direction, seeing a bruised houshi, pissed demon slayer and brat apprentice.
Miroku nudged a body with his toe, "It wasn't the point to kill them Sango."
"Shut up houshi."
Yahiko came trudging behind them using his bokken as a crutch. "Please pant wait gasp for me."
I scowled, "I haven't had you running enough have I?"
"Ii. . .ii iie. . . just, tired."
My scowl deepened, "Don't let me forget to raise your laps to 100 when we get home."
I could practically see the tears, "Hai busu." I decided to let that slide for now.
"Alright," Sango said, "I say just force our way through, forget wounding or killing, we have ourselves to worry about now." Her face contorted suddenly.
I looked downwards to see Yahiko had passed out and was currently foaming at the mouth.
"Some samurai." I muttered picking him up by the scruff and throwing him to Miroku.
"ALRIGHT! GO!!"
Temporary third person view change
And so all eight fought their ways through the turmoil. (Well seven since one was fainted.) Miroku and Yahiko were split from the girls at a point. Kenshin, Inu Yasha and Sanosuke did a good job at staying together, Kagome stayed clinging to Inu Yasha's back the whole trip. Bruised and tired, they all seemed to emerge from the mosh pit simultaneously. The black mob chased after, devoted, strait into the parking lot. . .

KAORU:
Kenshin is leading our rapid running, and we're all following, hoping he actually remembers were the car is. Inu Yasha is following behind with Kagome still on his back, Sanosuke close to Inu Yasha, with Miroku and Yahiko (still passed out) a few paces behind. I'm behind Miroku, with Sango behind me.
You know when you're climbing high and you're not supposed to look down? Well, in this case we can't look back. I can literally feel the mob's breath on my neck, and know if I look back I'll freeze up from fear. NO FAN SERVICE FROM KAORU!!
I can see Kenshin jumping from car to car scouting out the lot. He's probably not telling us which directions to run because, I guarantee it, the mob would find a way to beat us.
It was like a little ray of light after a relentless storm. I could hear the angels singing and a sense of rapture. The rusty, beaten, once silver car stood out beyond them all. Tears fell across my face, the sight so beautiful. Suddenly I could see Sanosuke's fist in the air, and his voice rang across that hell,
"FREEEEEEDOMMMMMMM!!!"
Three figures sat in it, all in the front seat. A window rolled down, and a blonde head popped out, "COME ON!!" She yelled, "YOU CAN MAKE IT, JUST A FEW YARDS!!"
Suddenly my woman's intuition kicked on. Something was wrong. Risking everything, I turned my head. Sango was lagging severely! Sweat poured down her face, her running pace turned into a desperate stumble. I saw the cause of this. Her boomerang was weighing her down. The black mob was rapidly making it's way to engulf her.
I turned sharply screaming over my shoulder, "MIROKU HELP!!" I saw him throw Yahiko in Sanosuke's general direction before turning back to join me. He ran ahead, carelessly throwing Sango over his shoulder.
"PUT ME DOWN!!"
"Take off the boomerang."
"Iie."
"Sango it's for you own good."
"Iie."
"Would you rather die than be helped?"
"By you houshi? HAI!!"
By then I was the one lagging behind, so I took advantage and started untieing the weapon from Sango's back.
The thing was amazingly heavy. Nothing I couldn't handle of course. As soon as it was off Miroku set the screaming Sango down, grabbing the weapon and running as fast as possible.
Face red and steam practically coming from her ears, Sango rolled a sleeve to her slayers uniforms exposing a stressing muscle, "THAT SUKEIBE GROPED ME AGAIN!!" The chuckle that left me couldn't be helped as Sango found new energy in revenge, running as fast, if not faster than Kenshin.
We made to the car in one piece, the next problem was fitting in it. A car meant for five is not meant for eleven.
The mob advancing rapidly, we all attempted to get in at once. The shoving and punching (from both genders) was of no help. Finally we all came to a silent agreement (as the mob was less than a few yards away) Yahiko was put on the back window, Sanosuke squished against the right back passengers seat, Sango between Sanosuke and Inu Yasha (who was on the left) An almost human formed Shippo was placed into the driver's seat, with Stephanie and Tess shoved in the front passenger's, Kagome and I had been in the process off being thrown across the back passenger's laps when Kenshin discovered the magical handle that seemed to open the seat to extra space behind the car.
LOW AND BEHOLD Mason was lying messing with some tiny plastic thing with a light and sound coming from it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE YOU JERK?!?!?" Stephanie shrieked. Mason waved innocently enough with a not so innocent grin, only to be covered by Miroku and Kenshin being shoved in the back with him.
What happened to our mob you may ask? Well seeing we were having technical difficulties they had slowed their rapid pace to a pleasant skip and several were chatting amongst themselves.
Finally, as our mass grew from eleven to twelve, I heard something that left my stomach unsettled.
"Hey Shippo, do you wanna learn how to drive this thing? It's reeeeeal simple."
"Uh, sure."
"Ok, you see those peddles by your feet? Step on that, no not that one, that stops the car. Ignore that one." Tess piped cheerfully.
"Now, you're gonna see a bunch of bright red signs that say 'STOP', ignore those also, they don't mean anything."
"You'll probably see other cars with bright flashing blue and red lights, ignore those too." "Don't forget, hit the peddle as hard as you can."
"And when you turn, turn the wheel real sharp." Stephanie finished.
Shippo nodded, looking forward with determination, before setting his hands on either side of the wheel and flooring it with everything he had.
The car wheels screamed against the asphalt, everyone suddenly jerked backwards as the car jerked forward forcing the panicking crowd to dispense. I felt us nearly flying through the air, saw smoke coming from under and behind us.
"HOW DO I CONTROL THIS THING?!?!?!" Shippo screamed.
I could see Stephanie with the most evil grin as she held on the dashboard for dear life, "Just turn the wheel whatever direction you wanna go." Tess' voice came muffled from under her. Stephanie shook her head, "No way, this is too much fun, it'll be fine." She said with a dismissive wave of a hand.
"ARE YOU TWO INSANE?!? SHOW HIM HOW TO STOP!" Kagome shrieked. I could hear horns as we narrowly dodged oncoming cars and trucks and big-rigs. The loud 'WOOSH' as we sped along the roads. Then my stomach made an attempt to do a 180, I could see Shippo's reflection in the little mirror above him. His mouth pulled into a large grin, his white fangs gleamed evily as he hunched over the wheel. THE BRAT WAS ENJOYING THIS!!
"Hey Shippo, you wanna play a game? It's called 'Hit as Many Mailboxes as Possible.'"
"What's a mailbox?"
"LOOK OUT FOR THAT WALL!!" Sanosuke was bent over the passenger's seat pointing forward. Indeed we were head towards a series of glass looking walls with fake human dolls dressed in cloths in the front.
"SHIPPO TURN LEFT TURN LEFT TURN LEFT!!!!!" Shippo jerked the wheel left making the wheels screech and people scatter in the lot. Suddenly I heard sirens. Bright lights gleamed, a voice came from a blue car behind us in English.
"What would they be saying de gozaru?" Kenshin's muffled voice came from the trunk.
Tess' voice could be heard quite clearly:
"THANKS ALOT STEPHANIE NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ARRESTED AND SENT TO PRISON I TOLD YOU THIS WASN'T A GOOD IDEA BUT DID YOU LISTEN NOOOOOOOO YOU WANTED TO HAVE SOME FUN WHAT'S NEXT JUMPING OFF A BRIDGE WITHOUT A BUNGY CORD I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA AT THIS POINT IN TIME DON'T YOU AGREE? OR HOW 'BOUT RUNNING A KNIFE ACROSS OUR WRISTS TO SEE IF IT KILLS US JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT IT MIGHT BE WORTH IT WHEN WE'RE IN PRISON BEING SOME BUTCHETTE'S JAIL BITCH!!! AND MY CAR!! BY THE TIME WE GET OUT OF THIS IT PROBABLY WON'T HAVE AN ENGINE I'M GONNA EXPECT YOU PAY FOR THIS STEPHANIE THAT AND ANY CASULTIES SHIPPO MAY HAVE CAUSED AND WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO PUT SHIPPO IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE FIRST PLACE??!??!!"
Tess had managed to get herself from under Stephanie and was currently screaming at an extreme rate about random things it seemed like. Stephanie had an "uhhuh, yeah, ok" expression on her face, and seemed to find picking at her ear with her pinky a little more entertaining than Tess' ranting.
Stephanie yawned as soon as the other girl stopped for a breath, her eyes narrowed, not without some amusement dancing in them. Leaning forward to the point their noses almost touched, "You know you're enjoying it." She drawled poking her in the chest. Tess couldn't find anything to say.
INTERRUPTION # 4
Stephanie: THAT DIDN'T SOUND SEXUAL! NOT AT ALL!!
Tess: cowers I DIDN'T MEAN TO!! HONESTLY!! DON'T HURT ME!! cowers some more
Stephanie: DIE EVIL HENTAI!! insert giant mallet
End Interruption # 4
"PLEASE PULL OVER THE CAR OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO STOP YOU BY FORCE."
A voice boomed over a loud speaker.
"What did he say?" I asked with narrowed eyes. Stephanie laughed, "He said 'nice driving, keep it up.'"
"That's a load of crap! My English class wasn't pointless after all. I caught 'stop' and 'car'!!" Kagome yelled.
Everyone jumped at the sound of gunshot in the air. It was sound that could not be mistaken. "Why are they shooting at us?!" Sanosuke yelled. Another shot was fired. Stephanie glared at the cop cars behind us, "They're trying to take the wheels out." She turned back to Shippo, "Look to your right Shippo, there's an alleyway, turn into there." Sure enough, a moment later, an open section between all the buildings became visible.
Shippo jerked the wheel hard, turning into the alley. Tess sat up, accidently shoving Stephanie into the window, "NO! They built a wall at the end of this a month ago!"
"Really?" Stephanie inquired. Tess nodded, "Something about skateboarders going in there."
At the end of the alley stood an at least eleven foot wall. There would be no way to scale it.
Shippo slammed down on the break, the screech of tires deaf-causing. Sirens could be heard behind us.
There was a universal curse from everyone of us. Suddenly, I noticed that Yahiko was lying halfway on the dashboard, blood coming from his forehead. A low moan left him as he turned over and touched his head.
"I don't feel so good . . ."
Shippo's face could be seen contorting, "It that a hole . . .?"
I wasn't the only one who screamed as a hand became visible from Yahiko's face.
Yes. A hand.
The car shook and jumped and Yahiko probably blacked out as a whole arm groped around from his head. We all made our attempts to move out of the way, blinding lights filling the alley and the car. Finally another being was with us, and a screech filled our ears followed by cursing from more than voice.
"Dammit! Wrong place! Can't you get anything right?"
"OUCH! Get your guitar out of my face! Canti! Help me!"
The lights disappeared and I could see a vague grey blur moving around. I think the roof of the car came off then. It was one of those things, you don't know what the hell happened after you finally could see your surroundings clearly.
I looked up to see something that looked like the Tv in the American's apartment, used as a face, the body's arms clutching either side of the now topless car. It looked down at me, and a digital smile formed on its face. I screamed bloody murder.
"WHAT THE HELL? WE'RE IN THE AIR!!" Sanosuke's voice suddenly yelped.
On top of the Tv-faced thing, a woman sat cross legged with a guitar on her back and a boy not older than twelve gripping on her waist.
"Haruko how the hell are we gonna get out of this one!? Huh?" The boy cried.
Haruko looked down at him absent mindedly, "Don't get your panties in a bunch, hold on."
She suddenly smirked, turning her gaze to her shocked audience, "Which one did we come out of?"
We all pointed to an once again, passed out Yahiko.
Haruko 'tisked' in disappointment, "Always the young ones." She reached out and flung Yahiko's limp body into the air, grabbing the guitar from behind her before he began falling.
Kagome wiggled her way from Sanosuke, Inu Yasha, Sango and I's tangled bodies, "What are you --?"
Her question was answered as the end of the guitar was brought full-swing contact with Yahiko's face. The boy sighed and Haruko let out a cry of victory, and the rest of us shock when the bloody mess that was Yahiko's face turned into a hole once again.
"Lets go Naota!" She cried, grabbing Naota's hand and pulling him up. Yahiko now lay on the robot carrying us' back. Haruko stepped forward, placing a foot in the hole,
"Don't forget to put them down Canti."
With that, Haruko and Naota jumped into the mysterious hole and disappeared with a pop!.
Not a word was said as I felt ourselves losing altitude before the car was set onto the pavement. Canti stood, catching Yahiko before he fell and set the boy on the hood of the car. To our further amazement, a paper came out from under its face with a bzz before he tore it out and handed it to Inu Yasha, who took the paper looking a little numb.
Canti waved his farewells, pausing in front of Yahiko and diving in the rapidly closing hole.
There was a heavy silence, before Inu Yasha said what was on all our minds,
"What the hell?"
Tess snapped out of it first, looking around, tears streaming down her face, "Well . . ." She sniffed, "I guess I always wanted a convertible . . ." Stephanie patted her on the back.
"So, what do we do now?" Sango asked tentively. Stephanie paused, surveying our surroundings, "Hey, we're only about mile from the dorms!" She exclaimed. Tess reached over and poked Shippo in the arm, who seemed to get the message and changed back into his normal body. "I'm driving . . ." Tess mumbled, climbing over into the seat.
So, with Yahiko still on the hood, and all of us in a complete daze, the car was started and we headed toward the college.
The building had just begun to come in view, when the oddest feeling in my chest over took me. Judging from the other's expressions, they felt it also. The suffocating heaviness became prominent the closer we came to our destination, until I thought I'd burst with the annoyance of it all.
That's when a tremble started in the ground, and it defiantly wasn't from Yahiko this time.
Tess and Stephanie looked panicked, "An earthquake? The car? What's happening?"
A nearby rumble was heard along with the smell of smoke.
And right in front of us all, a cloud in the shape of a mushroom could be seen.
We all shared the same thought for the third time that day;
"They're here."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's done? Part One is done?!?!?! YES! IT'S DONE!! It took me six months, but it's done. Oh, I can't believe it. But my work is not finished, as I still have Part Two to even start.
