Chapter 9: An Unlikely Band Of Hero's
Yoh pounded on the door with his fists, not caring whether they bled or not, for he would kill Mr Clod if he hurt Hao. "Open up you fuckin bastard! Open up!" he yelled, and, to his surprise, the door opened.
Yoh pushed past Mr Clod and ran beside his lovers' body that lay limply on the floor. Seeing Hao like this, seeing him so still made him cry even more. The Asakura was so traumatized by the sight of his brother that he didn't notice the cruel man behind him pick up another chain and inch closer, until it was tightly wrapped around his throat, sealing off the oxygen as it had done Hao's.
Suddenly the door burst open again and Horo dived on the man, knocking both him and Yoh to the ground.
Yoh lay there choking as he regained the oxygen he'd lost, then held his throat as he began to breath normally again.
Andy and Lee came dashing in, along with Ricky. Both Andy and Lee dragged Horo off of Mr Clod as he clung to his back, pummelling him with his fists and yelling insults at him, hell, he was even crying!
The man slowly rose to his feet and grabbed the chain again, and wrapped it around his newest victim. Andy panicked slightly as he tried to yank the chain from his neck, but thought clearly and ran backwards, causing the teacher to get rammed into the wall, escaping the clutches of the man and his weapon.
Lee ran beside Yoh and Hao to see if they were ok. His heart sank as he watched Yoh kissed Hao on the head and told him he loved him.
Despite everything that was happening already, everything became even more deadly as Mr Clod removed a penknife from his pocket, causing Horo and Andy to step back in alarm as he jabbed the air threateningly.
Rick- being the stupid ass that he is- decided to play the hero, and ran after Mr Clod as he chose to make a break for it, only to feel the cold blade of the knife slide into him, allowing blood to escape his body and gush out onto the floor.
Mr Clod let Ricky fall to the floor as the puddle of blood began to spread, and he ran out of the room, eager to make his escape.
Confusion filled the room as they heard him shout 'stay away'.
Horo ran out to find out what was going on, only to find a Tao standing there, his Kwan-dao pointing at the mans throat.
"REN!" Horo ran up to Ren and wrapped his arms around him, being able to hold his lover once more made his spirit soar.
"What the hell's going on!" asked Ren.
"I thought you were dead!" cried Horo.
"What…?" he replied blankly.
"He's a murderer and you disappeared… I thought he'd killed you Ren, I really did!" The very thought of it made Horo's eyes water.
Ren sighed and began to explain himself. "I was storming down the corridors mumbling insults about you when a teacher told me I had a phone call waiting in the office and it was Jinni, she told me Jun was in hospital so I immediately went to see her, it was an emergency so I just ran out. I didn't think anyone would miss me, and I thought you would cover for me, but I take it you didn't since my face was on the front of the paper and I was presumed dead!"
"What?" asked the Ainu, not remembering anything about Ren being presumed dead.
"Oh for god sake Horo, don't you read at all-"
Horo couldn't resist, and kissed Ren, yet was hurt when he pushed him away. "Is that all you can think about? If I'm busy kissing you, then this so called murderer can escape, so keep yourself under control damn it!" he hissed.
--
Andy observed Ricky's injury, the blood slowly ceasing to gush out, and the knife not too far into his gut to cause any server damage.
"Fuck, will I ever piss again doctor?"
Andy laughed nervously. "I dunno… but it doesn't look too deep, and you seem your natural immature self, so-"
"How bout Hao? Is he ok?"
Andy turned his head and looked at Lee and the sobbing Yoh, in hopes that Hao was alright, yet he could tell by Yoh's tears, Hao was gone.
Andy turned back to Ricky and shook his head, trying to hold back the tears. Yoh, however, was having a breakdown.
"Hao, no, you can't go! You can't leave me, I won't let you!" he sobbed, scooping Hao's body up in his arms and hugging him, shaking mentally from crying.
"…S-Shh, don't c-cry Yoh…" choked a voice in a whisper.
Yoh's heart pounded as he stared down into Hao's eyes. "H-Hao!" he asked, wondering whether he was dreaming. Hao smiled weakly, yet smiled all the same. He slowly raised his hand to Yoh's face, stroking it softly. "…It's ok…" he whispered, still smiling. Yoh held Hao's hand in place after realizing he was struggling to keep it there himself.
"I thought I'd lost you!" said Yoh, coming close to tears once more.
Hao kept smiling, before letting his hand hit the floor, and closing his eyes.
"HAO!" yelled Yoh, his eyes wide with fear.
"Hey, it's alright." Said Lee, rubbing Yoh's back to try and comfort him, "He just blacked out, probably from the struggle and lack of oxygen, but other than that…" Lee turned to Ricky and smiled. "…he'll be fine."
Lee left the Asakura's sides and walked over and knelt beside Ricky and Andy. "So… how are ya?" he asked.
"Well, apart from the hole in my gut and the loss of huge amounts of blood… I'm fine, you?"
"Been better." Admitted Lee.
Andy sighed. "I told you, it's not that big a deal. You'll need stitches and be in hospital for a while, but that's it."
"Hell-o, I am surrounded in my own blood, and the pain is… what's another word for painful…?" asked Ricky.
"Excruciating…?" suggested Lee.
"Yeah, it's excruciating!"
"So why aren't you screaming in agony then?" asked Lee.
"Because I am a man, I don't scream." He said in a manly voice, "…Anyone see were that psycho dude went…?"
Andy poked his head out of the door to see Ren, his Kwan-dao pointing at the man, whilst listening to Horo ranting on about what's been going on.
"Ren… you're alive!" asked Andy, amazed.
"Yes, well sorry to disappoint." Ren sighed, and surprised Horo when he yanked him forward and kissed him. "Forgive me for being such an asshole yet?"
"Dude, of course I do! Now come here and have gay sex with me!" Yelled Ricky, obviously hearing the conversation.
Both Horo and Ren sighed. "Dude! That was my line!" Complained Horo.
"Hey guys…" said Lee, wondering through the door, "Hao woke up again, and said Mr Clod said he'd killed Ren… then the puff decided to black out again…"
Everyone stared questioningly at Mr Clod.
"I told him I killed some annoying boy; then he said 'Ren' and I laughed, it's not my fault if the idiot jumps to conclusions."
Everyone listened as the sound of sirens in the distant could be heard.
"…You called the police…!" asked Andy to Ricky.
"Well call me stupid but I thought something major was going down so I ran to the office and told them to call an ambulance and the police… after telling them Hao had been raped and suffered internal bleeding of course."

"We are live outside an all boy's boarding school, where seven students have joined forces and have proven that a teacher known as Mr Clod was the killer of three students. Their bodies were stored in a room beyond the school cellar, and in the dead of night, Mr Clod would sneak out and burry the bodies on school grounds. Look, here is Mr Clod now- tell me, what is your reason for this repulsive behaviour?"
The reporter quickly put the microphone to the mans' mouth as he was being dragged away towards a police van by two officers. "Just you wait Hao Asakura, I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you all!" he hissed, before being slammed into the back of the police van and taken away.
"The names of the deceased are Pete McCray, Ryan Stuarts and Robert Alson. Our hearts go out to their family's loss. Behind me, two of the teenagers are being sent to hospital, one suffering a stab wound to the gut, the other, unconscious from being strangled with a chain. Let us go see what Ricky Marrot, the boy with the stab wound, has to say."
"I say hello to all the people in the hospital who's watching this shit, coz Ricky's coming to stay for a while."
"…That's nothing to cheer about you ass…" muttered Lee, "Hospitals are horrible."
"Dunno what the hell you're talking about coz you're coming with me." He grinned.
"What…?"
"Come on Lee, I don't have all day, get your ass in here."
"But why do I have to go!"
"Fine, don't go in an ambulance with one of your best friends after they've been stabbed in the gut, and may die at any moment, just remember your on TV- look people, look what kind of a friend this bastard is, the sick piece of shit!"
"Fine, I'll go with you…" Lee sighed, and climbed into the ambulance.
"Hey, hey!" yelled the reporter, going up to Yoh who was about to climb into another ambulance with an unconscious Hao.
"…Yeah…?" asked Yoh.
"Who was the first to suspect Mr Clod as a killer?"
"That would be Hao. Bye now." he said, and closed the ambulance door as the ambulance, followed the pervious one, and disappeared into the distance.
--
The next day, everyone thought it best to pay the two a visit.
A/N: Yoh and Lee had to come back to school, and the guys got let out to go to the hospital.
"Hey guys-" began Horo, yet found himself sniggering.
"Oh yeah! Come over here and say that to my face, you thick piece of shit!" yelled Ricky, waving a fist in the air.
"Why don't you come over here! Coward!" shouted Hao.
"Looser!"
"Asshole!"
"Gay twat!"
"Straight shit!"
"Mother fucker!"
"Camel fucker!"
"ALRIGHT ALREADY!" yelled Horo, "We get the point!"
"So, Hao, you ready to go?" asked Andy.
"What? Why does he get to go!" asked Ricky.
"Don't you know? Hao was only in here for one night, you're in here for about a week." Explained Yoh.
"A week!"
"Ha ha, Ricky has to stay in the smelly hospital!" sang Hao, and rose from his bed. "Don't worry Ricky, I'll be back some day soon… to bad you can't sit up because of your wound…"
"Yeah, to bad…" agreed Ricky sarcastically, knowing full well Hao was taking the piss. "Well, bye then." He said dully, and watched his friends leave.
--
"Want a goodie?" asked Hao, sitting beside Ricky's bed. Ricky sighed and made an attempt to grab the sweet from Hao, yet he only pulled it away from him like the fifty-odd times before. Hao laughed. "This week is gonna be fun!" he grinned, and continued Ricky's torture.
Unicorn13564: Well, that's the end of the mystery, it is solved! The story would be over now, but I decided to do two specials. One is where you find out what happened with Ren during his time away, and the other is during Ricky's time in the hospital! What do ya think of it so far anyway?
