Chapter Five

"Stupid branches," snarled Kyo, knocking several tree branches aside. He forgot he was helping Naruto carry the giant book. Subsequently, the book fell, Naruto lost his grip, and it fell on his foot.

"What was that for!" yelled Naruto angrily.

"Shut up! You're just as bad as Yuki!" Kyo retorted.

"Cut it out you two," Toboe butted in, "We're supposed to find shelter before the hurricane hits!"

"He started it!" muttered Naruto. Rei put her finger to her lips, as if trying to quiet everyone. "Do you hear that? It's some sort of growling," whispered Rei. Some bushes moved. Maggie looked around nervously. Then, without warning, a collossal monkey leaped out of the bushes. It's eyes were crimson with fire, and it had nine inch long nails of steel that were drenched with blood from it's latest victim.

"AHHHH! IT'S A KILLER MONKEY!" everyone screamed, except Rei.

"Rosangen!" shouted Naruto, using his famous attack on the monkey. The killer monkey ate the rosangen, and spit it back out. It whooshed past the group and sizzled the giant book to ashes.

"MY BOOK!" screamed Maggie. She went into a violent rage, picked the monkey up, hoisted it over her head, and drop-kicked it. It flew off in the distance, never to be seen again. "My book…," she sobbed.

"We have more to worry about now than your book! Look at the sky!" gasped Naruto. The sky was a deep, ash grey. Rain began to torrent down onto the group, and thunder boomed. "IT'S HERE! THE HURRICANE IS HERE!" Toboe yelled, "WE'RE TOO LATE!" A sudden gust of wind swept by and knocked a tree branch to the ground, barely missing Kyo. But that wasn't the worst of it. From far off, there was a roaring noise, like a waterfall. It seemed to get closer each second.

"RUN!" shouted Toboe. Before anyone could do anything, a surge of water plowed over the five anime characters. "What the heck?" thought Kyo as he swirled around and around underwater. He could see Rei being tossed around in the torrent of water like a ragdoll. He tried to swim over to her, but the water was too powerful him. His breath began to expire. "Is this going to be how it ends? Goodbye-Tohru. I wish I could have beat Yuki in a fight…" And then, he succumbed to the water.
