Chapter 5
As the semi's horn continued to roar, Cole noticed her mom had stopped the car. So out of pure panic, Coel reached her foot over and sped the car out of the semi's path.
"What the hell ma?"
Columbia looked over at her daughter with the deepest look of sympathy.
"Well ma, why did you do that?"
Columbia turned back and stared out the front window.
"Are you gonna tell me or wha...?"
"I tryed to kill myself once."
"WHAT? When?"
"I was about your age and I had just found out that your uncle Kurama and aunt Yukina were, yeah, and for some odd reason, I was jealous."
"You were jealous of uncle Kura and aunt Yuki, HA!"
"Anyway, me and your dad got the crazy idea of torturing Kurama, so I beat him, cut him a bit, and broke a couple of his fingers. When I finally realized what I had done, I was so come over with guilt, that I tryed to hang myself."
Cole didn't say anything as Columbia drove the rest of the way home and she still didn't say anything until Kale called.
"What Kale?"
"I heard you and Yumi go suspended from school for a food fight."
"Yeah, for ten days."
"Then I heard my parents and your parent talking about when how you mom explained to you when she tryed..."
"To hang herself."
"Yeah, anyway, whatcha doing tomorrow?"
"I dunno. Take my dad's car apart as a cry for attention, then go play 'knife-thrower' with Liee."
"Ohh, such excitement."
Pause.
"You wanna come too?"
"REALLY? I mean, if it's not to much trouble."
At that moment, Kale heard Cole wince at the end of his sentence.
"Cole, you okay?"
"Yeah."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, listen, I gotta go and I'll call ya tomorrow."
"Okay, talk to ya..."
Click.
Back in Cole's room, she looked at what she had just done while she was on the phone.
"Damn it, stupid desk. How do I always run into things like that?"
(A/N: I bet some of ya thought that she had cut herself or something like that. But no, she is like me and runs into EVERYTHING!)
Cole limped her way out of her room and began to go down the stairs.
"How does a daughter of mine manage to run into a desk? It's not like it's gonna jump out infront of you."
"What if I were to tell ya it did jump out infront of me?"
"Then I'd tell you that you're crazy."
"Then thank you, I guess."
As she began to walk away again, Hiei stopped her.
"You're mom, she wasn't crazy, just a very stressed out and nervous person."
"Did she tell you about this afternoon and how she stopped out infront of a semi?"
"Yeah, and that was just her way of scarring you, nothing more and nothing less."
Cole stood on the stairs, wide-eyed at what her dad just told her. It was basically just a test, well we'll just see about that.
"Well well, Red and Hiei think this is some kind of joke, well they've got another thing coming."
Cole got the greatest idea, ran back up to her room, and three-wayed Yumi and Kale.
The next day, Hiei and Columbia had noticed that their daughter was awfully chipper, maybe too chipper.
As Columbia went to say something, she was interupted by a knock at the door, so she got up and answered it.
"Yumi, what a odd surprise."
"Why odd Red?"
"Never mind."
Yumi watched suspiciously as Columbia walked into the other room, dragging Hiei along with her.
"What's up with them?"
"I'm being too chipper."
"Ah, so you have the weird mind reading thing too."
"Yeah, it's really freaky."
"Are we meeting Kale or is he picking us up."
"He's gonna pick us up here in about five minutes or so."
"You think we're gonna get caught."
Cole noticed how nervous Yumi was and laughed.
"Hey, let's put it this way, if my parents can get away with it, then I guess I can too."
"You think we can?"
"Damn straight. Let's put in this way, I'm Hiei and Columbia's kid, Kale's Yusuke and Keiko's kid, and you're, well, Koenma and Botan's kid. We all have a bit of craziness in us, so that's our excuse."
Then they heard their signal, outside a car's horn was honking. Yumi and Cole gave each other a look and slowly, yet quietly ran out the door.
The next time Hiei came back into the kitchen, Cole was gone. Trying not to panic, he searched the house as quietly as he could so he wouldn't scare Columbia. Then he found it as he came back into the kitchen, a note laying on the table.
Hiei and Red (Da and Ma),
I will contact you when I feel the time is right, until then, contact Yusuke and Keiko, and Koenma and Botan and tell them that Kale and Yumi are fine and that all three of us planned this and not one person is souly responsible. I can't tell you where we are going, but what I can tell you is that we are safe. Also, if we tell you where we are, do not come looking for us unless we tell you to, this is our time, we wanted to follow in your's and ma's footsteps and so we are. Know that I love you both and you shouldn't worry about me that much, I'm stronger than you think.
Will all my crazyness,
Cole
'Well, there goes my life."
Hiei took the note and stuffed it in his pocket.
"RED, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT COLE!"
"What?"
Hiei grabbed his wife and said something into her ear. Suddenly Columbia pulled back and smile.
"Just like us."
Hiei nodded.
"Well, let's go do our damage control. Ugh, you can talk to Keiko, I wanna live to see tomorrow."
In the airplane, Cole, Kale, and Yumi sat there anxious to get going. They weren't all that worried about their parent, due to the fact that Hiei and Columbia were so cool and could get everyone to understand.
'Heh, Kaleb's gonna be mad I'm leaving with his brother.'
'Kaleb's gonna shit when he finds out.'
'Aww, those to are so cute together.'
With those last thoughts, the plane took off.
Stupid way to end this I know, but hey, I was rushing myself.
Now I have another reviewers choice and this is how it goes. Please pick either:
(A) Cole, Kale, and Yumi safely make it to their "secret" destination
OR-
(B) Cole, Kale, and Yumi's plane crashes on an island and they survive along with a few other passengers, kinda like the show LOST, except without the monsters.
Please choose one or the other and I will go with which ever wins.
Finals end tomorrow, HUZZAH, then hello summer vacation. I mean seriously, I can't wait till 11:55am Central Time tomorrow, then I can get in my car and drive my ass away from that Hell Hole for at least 2 months.
With that said, I'm out for another day.
Lonny
