Chapter 4: The Plot Too Reveal All
The twin Asakura's crept down the stairs of the school cellar, their breathing heavy as they neared the bottom, silently praying no teacher was down there, hiding in the dark with a knife.
"Hao…" said Yoh, his tone rather annoyed, "There's nothing down here…" His long-haired brother finished coming down the stairs and stared at the empty room. "B-But there was a big sack down here! …He must have moved it!" said Hao seriously, "That's the only explanation… maybe he saw me…"
"Hao, please, lets stop this nonsense…" begged Yoh, "Listen to what you're saying…"
"Sorry, too busy believing what I saw." Muttered Hao, "Why won't you believe me?"
"Have you heard yourself lately? Why would a teacher murder a student? Its just not right…"
"But that's like saying why would a man rape a child, yet it still happens in this shit world today… you really should have let me have my only-shaman world…"
"Why?" Yoh smirked, quickly planting a kiss on his lips, "Would I be in it?"
"You'd rule it." Smirked Hao, and kissed him back but more passionately.
They parted instantly as the door swung open, filling the cellar with a tiny bit of light, due to how far beneath the school it was built.
A/N: If you get what I mean…
'Oh shit!' thought Hao panicky, turning left and right. 'What to do, what to do!'
Lucky for Hao, Yoh was able to think on his feet, and yanked the panicky Asakura into a patch of darkness that was shaded by the stairs.
The two males backed against the wall and held their breath as feet began to make their way down the steps, trying their hardest to remain as insignificant and anonymous as possible.
Hao gasped as the figure carried a large sack that was slung over their shoulder, similar to the last one he'd seen. Hao didn't care whether he could see the person or not, he knew for a fact it was Mr Clod… it had to be…
Hao stopped trying to study the figure as he felt a gentle tug on his poncho, and saw Yoh sneaking quietly towards the stairs.
Hao's heart jumped as the figure spun round.
"Move!" yelled Hao, and quickly shoved Yoh up the stairs, and was about to follow when he felt a harsh yank on his poncho, causing him to fall back, ending up face to face with the figure. Hao saw the glint in Mr Clod's eyes as he let go of the poncho, allowing Hao to climb the stairs, and make his escape.
--
Yoh sped down the corridor, his heart racing as he feared for the safety of his brother. He knew that he would never forgive himself if anything were to happen to him, ever!
"Hey!" he yelled frantically, pounding on the door of room 09, "Horo! Ren! Anyone! Help!"
Yoh felt as if he was in a room of darkness, and a ray of light had just shone through, illuminating the room as he saw the door open. "What is it Yoh?" asked Horo.
"It's Hao, he- he's been caught!"
"…Huh…?"
"He-"
"He's ok." said Hao lazily, "A little shit up… but he's o.k."
"Hao!" yelled Yoh happily, hugging his brother, "Your alright!"
"Yoh," said Horo dimly, "You made it sound as if he was going to die or something…"
Hearing this, Hao felt warm inside for some reason. "…That's because you believe me… don't you…" said Hao, knowing he was right.
Yoh subconsciously hugged Hao tighter, "…No…"
Hao smiled. "You thought he was going to kill me, so you went to the guys for help…"
"What happened…?" asked Horo, still not quite sure of what was going on.
"I got caught…" replied Hao, "…Mr Clod… he knows it's me, he saw me… although he didn't see you, Yoh, so that's a relief…" he sighed, happy that his lover was safe.
"Where's Ren?" asked Horo curiously.
"Ren? Why you asking us? He's your bum-chum." Said Hao, resting his chin on Yoh's head.
"You mean he didn't go with you?"
"No." replied Yoh, still hugging the other Asakura.
"Hey, what happened…?" asked Hao, noticing the hurt and fear in Horo's eyes.
"N-Nothing…"
"You guys have another argument?"
Yoh then realized Horo was still in his clothes that he'd worn earlier today. "You're waiting for him to return, aren't you…" said Yoh.
Horo sighed and thought it best to just give them an answer. "He came back earlier to talk, and we had another argument and he stormed out… again… and yes… I'm waiting for him…"
"Need any company…?" asked Yoh thoughtfully.
Horo thought about it for a second, Ren wasn't going to come back any time soon, and he needed something a lot stronger than coffee to keep him awake. Horo opened the door wider and stepped aside, allowing the two to enter.
"So… discover anything interesting…?" asked Horo, not really that interested anymore.
"The sack I saw before has been moved, but Mr Clod came down with another sack, it was different to the one before, and slightly smaller."
"Yoh?" asked Horo, wanting another statement before he made up his mind whether to believe it or not.
Yoh nodded. "Its true, but I don't know if it was Mr Clod, all's I saw was a figure."
"I came face-to-face with the man, it was Mr Clod."
"…So what do you propose we do about all this…? Tell someone…?"
Both Yoh and Hao looked at Horo and smiled.
"Propose…" mimicked Yoh.
"…That's the kind of word Ren would use…" said Hao, "You really miss him huh."
Horo turned away, "…Whatever…"
"I say we make a plan, and try and find out what's in those sacks once and for all!" said Hao excitedly.
"Ok," said Yoh, "I'll go wake everyone!"
Horo sighed and, after a few minutes of Hao bugging him, agreed to go along with them, but only to keep his mind off Ren… yet he couldn't help but wonder where the hell he was, it wasn't like him to avoid people for this long.
--
After an hour of plotting, the guys had devised a plan to uncover Mr Clod as the murderer he is by seeing what is inside the sacks, then exposing them to the rest of the school.
They worked out that Andy would get the keys…
--
Andy silently slipped into Mr Clods room, watching, listening for any signs if life, before quickly grabbing the keys off the table and running away with them.
--
…then Hao, Yoh, Lee and Horo would go down to the cellar…
--
Andy gave Hao the keys and he unlocked the door, going down into the darkness of the cellar, followed by Yoh, Horo and Lee.
--
… and finally, Ricky will then distract Mr Clod, whilst Andy guards the door.
--
Ricky grinned and went in search for Mr Clod, whilst Andy stood at his post, standing guard at the door. As he stood there, he couldn't help but grin. This was turning out to be quite the adventure.
Unicorn13564: Hi peeps! So, it is interesting so far? Do you really think Mr Clod is a murdered…? And were the hell is Ren! He's supposed to be shagging Horo! v.v
