Hello, all. I'm back and I'm thinking up a storm...I think...I hope I am...if I'm not, that's...just sad...Guess what? I got my report card, and I got an A+ in English! I'm happy! And that's an honors class, so be proud of me! Here's a new chapter of Chain Letter. I hope you like it.
I apologise. The weapon Sora weilds is called a ban-ryu, not a halbred, I found out on the internet. It says Bankotsu's weapon is a banryu, so Sora's is the exact same thing.
I don't own YYH, Sahara or Sora.
I own Kitsune and Kaonashi. And maybe Chesley McCann...or not, I had come across her in a real chain letter sent to me on quizilla. Whoever created her, owns her, so there!
Chapter 11: Condemned to Death...
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kitsune, Kaonashi, Sora and Sahara ran to the edge of the well, peering down inside to see what had become of their friend.
"Kurama! Kurama, are you down there? Kurama!" Yusuke called.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
A strong smell hung in the air around Kurama. To say the least, it reeked. That was what had awoken him. The stench.
Kurama sat up, rubbing his head, gingerly. He tried to look around, but he was greeted with darkness. He looked up, but the same, only a small circle of dim light. From the looks of it, he'd fallen a long way. He tried to get up, only making it to his knees. He stared up at the small hole from where he'd come.
"Kurama! Kurama are you down there? Kurama!"
Yusuke's voice! Kurama tried to find his voice.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
"Well, is he there or not?" Kuwabara asked.
"He's there, you idiot. He did fall through, we all saw it. He's probably broken his legs or something," Hiei said, not making Kitsune feel better.
"I hope he's okay..."
"Kurama! Damn! I don't think he can hear us." Yusuke muttered, then was promptly smacked upside the head by Sora. "What was that for?"
"Language."
"Oh."
"Guys, I'm here! Where are you?" a voice called form the well. They whirled around and looked down again.
"Are you okay, Kurama?" Yusuke asked. Kurama sounded a little shaken. Probably from the fall.
"I'm fine, but it's way too dark down here. Kitsune, could you provide illumination?"
"Sure thing, Kurama!" Kitsune said, igniting a ball of blue fire and letting it float gently down the tunnel to where Kurama waited. "That should stay by you, and if you want, it'll split and make more."
"Thanks," Kurama said. The blue ball of fire finally got to the awaiting fox demon and revealed another tunnel to his right. He shouted back up, "Guys, there's another path down here."
"Where?"
"To my right. Should I take it?" Kurama asked.
"Uh, no. Just stay there and wait for us to come down. It's too dangerous, do you understand?" Yusuke asked, then felt stupid. Of course Kurama understood, he was Kurama, after all.
Kurama nodded, calling up, "Yeah, I understand," and waiting patiently where he was. He waited for about five minutes while the team was deciding what the best way to get down there was. But curiosity got the better of him and he looked to his right, down the path...
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
"Anybody got rope?" Sora asked.
"I don't think so. Does anybody have rope?" Kuwabara asked.
Kaonashi shook his head. "No, we don't. The closest thing to rope that we have is Kuwabara's bandages, and they're way too fragile to repel down a well on."
"Hey, how'd Kurama fall down there and not break anything?" Kitsune wondered. Sora shrugged, leaning on her ban-ryu for support. Her ankle still hadn't completely healed, but was getting a bit stronger.
Kitsune walked over to the well and looked down...to see Kurama standing and moving slowly to his right (her left)! "Kurama, we said stay put!" Kitsune yelled down at him, before beginning to climb down into the well, slowly, grabbing the side for support before grabbing other rocks while making her way down.
"He's gone!" Hiei asked.
"Going, anyways," Kitsune replied, "I'm gonna see what's up...or down, in this case..."
"Nice pun, Kits." Sahara said, sarcastically.
Kitsune was only a fourth of the way down and Kaonashi moved closer to the edge, before finally falling in, giving a startled yell and he, too, plunged into the well, much the same way Kurama had. Upon passing Kitsune, he reached a hand out and quickly grabbed onto her tail, yanking down as he gripped for support. Kitsune gave a startled shriek.
"That's my tail!"
"One of 'em, at least. You have eight more," Kaonashi said, breathless.
Kitsune looked down at him. "I need all 9, though. Get off!"
"Would you try to get rid of your own boyfriend?" Kaonashi asked, looking at her, innocently.
"Yes. Get off, Kaonashi, or we'll both break our backs!"
"Too...late...I'm slipping!"
"And dragging me with youuu! Kaooonashiiiiiii!" Kitsune screamed as Kaonashi's hand slowly slipped off her tail and he plunged onto the platform Kurama had once been on, falling flat on his back. After hearing him hit the bottom, Kitsune's nerves gave up and her grip loosened and she, too, fell. Except, as Kaonashi tried resting, she landed right on top of him, knocking the breath out of him. He groaned.
"You okay?" Kitsune asked.
"Peachy," Kaonashi said, holding his stomach. (estomago in Spanish! That had nothing to do with anything. Continue.)
"Are you two okay down there! What happened!" Sora called down.
"Kaonashi fell, yanked on my tail, fell again, made me fall and land on him and now he's breathless." Kitsune explained.
"You leave me breathless, Kitsune." Kaonashi groaned.
"Awww." Kitsune said, hugging him.
"I didn't mean it like that..."
"Meanie!"
"Hold on, we're coming down!" Yusuke called, starting to climb down as well.
"Hey, Kaonashi."
"What?"
"What's this metal bar for?"
"What metal bar?"
"This one on the side of the well."
"That's..." Kaonashi looked at Kitsune's fox fire illuminated... "A ladder! There was a ladder the whole time!"
"Apparently so..." Kitsune said, rubbing her chin. Meanwhile, Kaonashi was freaking out, going spasmic and banging his head on the side of the well. Yusuke and the gang finally made it down, helping Sora down, seeing as her leg wasn't feeling good. They looked at Kaonashi.
"What's wrong with him?" Hiei asked.
"We recently found out there was a ladder to our left." Kitsune pointed out.
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US!" Yusuke practically yelled in her ears. She covered them, wincing, and them slapped him.
"My ears are sensitive. I will not say it again!"
"Sorry..."
"Where's the fox?" Hiei asked.
"He went down the tunnel. Come on, I'll lead." Kitsune said, igniting some balls of fire and leading the way down the tunnel.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Kurama continued down the path, even as it split in different directions, he seemed to know without knowing where he was going. That scared him. His body was unwillingly moving on it's own. He couldn't control himself, and he continued forth into the darkness. Finally, he came to two large metal doors, sacred spells inscribed in the rough iron.
"Where am I now?" he whispered to himself. A clicking sound was heard and he snapped to attention.
The doors opened and Kitsune's fox fire wandered into the room, lighting torches with blue fire and revealing another golden torch in the middle of the room next to a stone bed. Upon the stone bed...
Upon the stone bed was a corpse...
Kurama froze in shock. This corpse was more grotesque than the zombies he'd faced before...it was somewhat bloody...
When he gained control of his actions, he made a bolt for the doors...but they'd closed again. He was trapped inside the death chamber.
He froze again, turning slowly around, his breath shuddering as if he were cold. He wasn't, really. But all this was really freaking him out.
When he looked to the stone bed, the corpse was gone. He gasped, looking around, slowly, eyes wide. Suddenly, some of the torches went out and he was left with the one on the wall closest to him. He grabbed it, holding it out.
He turned around, slowly, to his left...
And came face-to-gruesome-face with the bloody corpse, eyes open and fully awake. He gasped.
It lunged forward and attacked...and Kurama knew no more...
True, this chapter was shorter than the latest ones, but it's almost 9:30 and I have to go to bed.
Cliffhanger! That last part really scared me, did it do it for you, too? I got the last part from the Grudge, where Yoko meets the Grudge girl for the first time and dies and loses her bottom jaw. Hope you liked it. Can I change it back to horror? Is that okay with anybody? How about horror/action/adventure? Is that good with anybody? Review and no flames allowed except for my fox fire!
What just happened to Kurama! Can the power of one sword bring him back to life? And the gang finally meets Chelsey!
So click the button and go on to the next chapter!
