Chapter 14- Dare Night part 5
"So... Let me get this strait... I have to go up to a complete and total stranger and convince him to kiss me!" Manta asked Yoh who nodded with a grin.
"Lucky neh Manta?" He said, still grinning.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING LUCKY!" Manta yelled. "I have to get kissed by someone I don't know! They might slap me instead of kiss me! And I don't want my first kiss to be with someone I don't know!"
"Awww, but come on. You get to pick out the girl." Yoh told him with a shrug.
"And end up getting a slap on my face!" Manta yelled.
"But other girls will see that and pity you and before you know it, girls will be swimming around you, trying to kiss your bruises away." Yoh did have a point... If it were to happen that is. Manta let out a small sniff/sob as he walked after Yoh. Ever one step Yoh took was about 3-5 steps for Manta so it was kinda hard to keep up.
"Both our dares are bad..." Manta mumbled.
"Aww come on. It's not that bad. Just ask and get it over with." Yoh said with a lob-sided smile.
"Easy for you to say. It's not your dare." Manta looked down at the ground and sighed.
"But would you have wanted my dare?" Yoh asked Manta who shook his head.
"So go on then." Yoh gave his little friend a push and sat down to watch the show... If there was any show to watch because Manta just stood there, frozen. Yoh sighed and walked over to his friend.
"Ok, I'll help you." He told Manta and then looked around. "First thing's first. We gotta find the perfect girl." He looked around and dragged Manta over to the mall. It was amazing that it was still open... That thing is open 24-7!
"Ok... Now let me see. Here, that girl over there." Yoh said pointing to a little girl that looked around 8 or so.
"IF I AM TO BE KISSED FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WANT TO BE KISED BY A GIRL AROUND MY AGE NOT MY HEIGHT!" Manta yelled at Yoh who was rolling with laughter.
"Ok, ok. Here, what about her?" Yoh pointed to a girl who walked by them. Manta shook his head.
"Too tall." He told Yoh who continued searching. After a few more options, Manta finally decided on a girl with long dirt blond hair, much like his. She was about Yoh's height and looked really sweet... But Manta and Yoh soon found out that looks can be deceiving.
"Umm... Hello." Manta said with a nervously smile, his face flushed. The girl looked down at him with a blank face.
"Yes what is it?" She asked him.
"Well, ummm... I... I was wondering..." Manta started stuttering now.
"Spit it out midget! What do you want? I don't have all day you know." The girl semi-yelled at him. Manta jumped a bit.
"D-do you think you could give me a kiss?" He asked nervously and quietly.
"What?" The girl bent down to have a better listen to what he said. As Manta repeated his question, Yoh flipped open his phone and set the photo settings to Multi shots. He pressed the camera button and took the picture, as he heard Manta yell.
Manta sniffed and rubbed his cheek as he and Yoh walked home.
"Awww come on Manta. It wasn't so bad." Yoh said, giggling.
"Not bad for you. You weren't the one who got slapped." Manta said quietly.
"But you ended up getting a kiss." Yoh said as he viewed the multi image of Manta getting slapped once more. He started laughing again as he saw Manta's expression when the girl's hand made connection with his face. "Poor Manta."
"You didn't even take the picture." He told Yoh who gave him a small smile.
"Gomen ne Manta." Yoh apologized. Yoh was too busy viewing the images of Manta getting slapped and laughing when Manta got kissed on the cheek by some woman who took pity on him for being slapped.
"It's ok. If someone asked me to kiss then, I would have freaked out as well." Manta said, blushing.
"Well it's over now. You survived the dare Manta." Yoh said with a smile. "I won't say anything if you won't." Manta smiled up at his friend and nodded.
"Deal."
"So what's the dare?" Jeanne asked as they walked around, to no where in particular.
"It says..." Pirika took the card out of the envelope and skimmed through it. "To hi-jack a car and drive it off to someplace... But not too far." Jeanne blinked.
"But... We don't know how to drive..." She said looking at Pirika who shrugged.
"Nor do I..." She muttered.
"Are they trying to kill us!" Jeanne yelled out. It was somewhat strange even for Jeanne to hear. Jeanne isn't the type to yell or have an outburst. Her own scream kind of scared her.
"Well... I have taken mini lessons." Pirika said with a shrug.
"As in driving without a license in an empty parking lot?" Jeanne looked at Pirika who smiled nervously.
"No one found out." Pirika shrugged. "And Onii-Chan dared me. At first, I was a bit shaky but I got the hang of it."
"And how many years has it been since your drove?" Jeanne asked, making sure she had all the facts.
"Ummmm..." Pirika paused to think. "3 years or more?"
"3 years or- Oh forget it." Jeanne shook her head. "I want to live past 18. Not die before I turn 18." Pirika sighed.
"Well I want to win this game."
"Is it worth it? Your life for this game?" Jeanne asked Pirika who made a face.
"We are not in school Jeanne. Don't use logic with me when we are out of school." Pirika folded her arms and looked around. "Hey look! That car door is unlocked!" Jeanne's eyes widened. Doesn't this only happen in the movies? Was she in a movie! There was no way some dummy is going to leave their car door unlocked.
"Come on Jeanne!" Pirika yelled, opening the car door. Jeanne mouth fell open.
"I have just entered the world of movies." She muttered. "Stupid idiot should lock his car door next time."
"Now let me see... Which one is the gas and which is the breaks again..." Pirika mumbled to herself as she looked down, her hands gripping onto the steering wheels. -Sorry! I just turned 15 so I can't take my driver's license yet so I have no idea what the hell these things are called hehe. If I spell them wrong or call them by the wrong name, I'm sorry!-
"Press it lightly with your foot and you will see." Jeanne told her. She was ready to jump out if something happened. She wanted to live past 18 not die.
"I did. I pressed one and it's not going. I pressed the other as well and it's not moving!" Pirika told Jeanne who rolled her eyes.
"Did you turn it on?" Pirika blinked and laughed.
"Oopz. I knew I forgot something." She looked around to find the keys still in the ignition. Jeanne sweat dropped. She was never going to have Pirika drive ever again.
"Ok. Start up!" Pirika turned the car on and softly pressed the petal on the right. The car moved forwards and smashed lightly onto the back of the car in front of it. Jeanne and Pirika both let out a yelp.
"Well... At-At least we both know which one is the gas petal." Pirika said nervously. Jeanne didn't seem so happy. This was dangerous not to mention illegal. "Ok... Now to back up..." Pirika back out slowly and then moved forward while turning the steering wheel.
"Ok, now where am I supposed to drive this thing? I don't want to drive that far." Pirika said with a nervous tone.
"The card says someplace not too far." Jeanne told her with a shrug. She was still ready to jump out at any time if needed.
"Ok, let's go then." Pirika accidentally pressed the gas petal which made the car lunge forward, scratching the car and the back of the car in front of it for the second time. This time, the alarm went off, making the girls yelp.
"Hey you! What are you doing with my car!" Jeanne and Pirika both looked out the window and gasped when they saw a man step out and walked towards them.
"DRIVE, DRIVE!" Jeanne yelled.
"Ch- Like you need to tell me twice!" Pirika stepped on the gas petal and they dashed off. They heard the man yelled as they drove off. They finally lost him and sighed.
"Never again." Jeanne said, taking in deep breaths and trying to calm herself down. "Oh god is never going to forgive me for this."
"Ch. Forget god. Think about saving our lives instead of him for now!" Pirika yelled as she did a quick spin on the steering wheel and turned the car off. They were a block or so away from the man's house. They were lucky because the man was pretty fat and could barely run so they didn't' get caught. They got out, made sure that the car doors were locked and ran off. One thing was for sure... Their lips were sealed.
"So what is your dare Ren?" Horo asked, trying to look over Ren's shoulder.
"None of your business." Ren snapped.
"Aww come on! We are a team!" Horo whined.
"Which is sad..." Ren muttered and flipped open his dare envelope. Why he chose to play was beyond him.
"So what is your dare anyway?" Horo asked once more, ignoring Ren's last comment. He looked over Ren's shoulder and read off of his dare card. "Choose an animal form the zoo and take it home." They blinked.
"The zoo isn't even open at this time..." Lyserg said quietly.
"No duh..." Ren muttered. "This is stupid."
"But your doing it." Horo said with a shrug and flipped over the card. "Part B." He read. "One of your teammates will choose the animal for you." Horo's smile widened, showing a row of perfect row of yellow teeth. Haha, no it's white. I'm just playing with you. Horo's teach are neat and white lol. "I wanna choose!" He yelled out. Ren rolled his eyes. Horo will probably tell him to capture an alligator home or something. "I choose lion!" Ren rolled his eyes. How he knew Horo so well. It was almost scary.
"Baka." Ren smacked Horo's head and walked off.
"Hey!" Horo yelled as he and Lyserg ran off after Ren.
"Hey!" Yoh yelled as Ren walked towards them. "You done with your dare too?" Ren smirked.
"If only..." He muttered and flipped his dare card over to Yoh who caught it in between his fingers.
"So you have to go to the zoo and pick out an animal huh?" Yoh smiled. "I made that dare."
"KISAMA!" Ren yelled. Luckily, Horo and Lyserg held him back or else Yoh would have been a dead man.
"Sorry, sorry!" Yoh said with a nervous smile. "To make it up, I'll go with you and pick out the animal for you." Ren mumbled something under his breath and walked off. "I guess that's a yes then." Yoh said with a smile and looked down at Manta. "Manta, do you mind going home first?" Manta shook his head.
"I want to come along." He told Yoh who smiled and nodded.
"Well let's go." They all rushed off after Ren.
"So here we are at the zoo..." Horo muttered.
"No duh Sherlock." Ren muttered.
"So how do we get in?" Manta whispered. Ren, being the well trained/worked out Tao that he was instantly jumped over the gates with ease, leaving the others stranded on the other side.
"What about us!" Horo yelled. Lyserg and Yoh quickly clasped they hands over his mouth, shh-ing him to be quiet.
"You think of a way to get in." Ren muttered. Yoh, being skinny, slipped through the gates, leaving everyone's mouth hanging.
"Hey I got an idea." Horo picked up Manta and threw him over the gate. Manta yelled out as he flew over. Luckily, Yoh was quick on his feat and caught him in time, before he flew over the gates to the lion's cage.
"So what about us?" Lyserg asked Horo who shrugged.
"We'll be look outs." Horo told them. "Now hurry and go before I fall asleep." Ren rolled his eyes and walked off. Yoh smiled and nodded.
"Sank you Horo." He said as he and Manta ran off after Ren.
"Nah Ren. Chotto Matte." Yoh said running after the Chinese boy. "Slow down. Manta and I can't keep up."
"That's not my problem." Ren muttered. Yoh sighed and looked back at Manta who was running his ass off, trying to catch up.
"Anyway, I still have to choose the animal for you to take home." Yoh told Ren who didn't respond. "Which is better? A monkey or a lion cub? Or maybe a kangaroo. Or a bird would be cool too." Ren, being the short tempered Chinese boy that he was, was starting to loose his temper, thus, causing his hair to grow.
"CHOOSE ASAKURA!" He yelled. Yoh whimpered.
"Help me!" He said in a whimpering voice. Ren sighed and Manta let out a small laugh.
"Yoh-Kun is always unsure of things neh?" He asked Yoh who laughed.
"Yup, that's me." Ren rolled his eyes.
"Well choose quickly." He told Yoh who frowned.
"But there are so many choices." He whined.
"What about this Yoh." Manta suggested. "If all those animals that you just mentioned were hanging form a cliff, which would you choose?" Yoh paused before answering.
"Why are they hanging from a cliff?" He asked Manta who fell to the floor. Yoh can be sure an idiot sometimes.
"Just answer the question Yoh." Ren demanded, folding his arms across his chest.
"I don't know. They are so poor. I want to save them all." Yoh said with a frown.
"And I want to discover the cure for cancer." Ren said sarcastically.
"What about this Yoh-Kun." Manta tried again. "If all those animals were in a burning house, which would you save?" Again, Yoh paused before answering.
"Did the animals start the fire? And is it my house that's burning because I want to save my house." He said. Manta again, fell to the floor. "And am I inside the house? I am sorry but I would rather save myself then the animals." Ren again, started to lose his patience. He tapped his foot impatiently as Manta tried again.
"Just choose one Yoh-Kun." He said, almost begging. Yoh thought for a moment.
"Hmmmmm... Monkey." He finally told them. "Make sure it's small and cute." Ren rolled his eyes and walked off, towards the monkey house.
"This one?" Manta asked Yoh who shook his head.
"No. Too hairy." He told him. Manta sighed.
"How about this one?" He asked pointing to another monkey. Again, Yoh shook his head.
"Nah. This one is too big." He said and walked off to another window.
"How about this one then?" Manta tried one last time. Yoh looked at the monkey Manta was pointing to and smiled.
"That will do." He said nodding. "Come on Ren! We picked out the monkey for you." Ren muttered something under his breath and walked over to them. He looked at the little monkey on the other side of the glass window. It was a small monkey with rather big ears. Its body was small and its head was pretty round. It kept jumping from place to place, looking back at him with cute big round eyes.
"And how exactly am I suppose to get it?" He asked Yoh who shrugged.
"That's your problem." Yoh told Ren who rolled his eyes. "Maybe you can get in through the roof or something." Ren rolled his eyes.
"We are in reality and not in a movie or cartoon Yoh." He muttered.
"It's worth a shot." Yoh said with a shrug. He pressed against the glass and watched the monkey jump around, running towards him and pressing it's hand against the glass, looking back at him. Yoh smiled. "Awww, he likes me." Ren rolled his eyes.
"And what will we do if they find out that one of their monkeys is missing?" Ren asked. Yoh again, shrugged.
"Don't know." He simply said in a carefree tone. He was still having a starring contest with the monkey who kept up a cute game face. Ren chuckled.
"We can just replace him with Manta. They are probably the same size anyway. A little makeup and you won't be able to tell the difference." Manta yelled at Ren and Yoh turn to Ren.
"That wasn't a nice thing to say." He said frowning. He turned back to see the monkey running around and jumping around. He blinked and let out a wail. "I lost the starring contest!"
They finally managed to get the monkey -don't ask how, I ran out of ideas- and returned back to the front gate to find Horo asleep.
"Hey, you got the animal." Lyserg said, greeting them at the gate.
"Yah." Yoh said as he slipped through the gate.
"Hey! What about me?" Manta asked. He suddenly felt himself being lifted and being thrown over the gate again. Yoh, once again had to run after his friend and catch him before he hit the ground. Manta sighed.
"T-Thanks Yoh-Kun." Yoh smiled and put Manta down.
"No problem pal." He said cheerfully. "You are pretty lucky I played foot ball a few days go."
"Can we go now?" Ren asked as he jumped over the gate. In his arms was the little monkey in a small cage that Ren found... somewhere that he wouldn't tell Yoh nor Manta.
"Ren! Let the monkey go! Look at him. He's so poor!" Yoh said with a frown as he looked at the poor thing in the cage. The baby monkey let out a small squeak and grabbed onto the bars of the cage. He looked at Yoh with puppy eyed, hoping that Yoh could help him.
"No. We will be responsible for him if he runs away." Ren said firmly.
"But he won't. Right little buddy?" Yoh looked at the baby monkey and it nodded, letting out a small squeak. Ren rolled his eyes.
"No is no." He told Yoh firmly. Both Yoh and the baby monkey let out a small whimper. Hey! Who knew monkeys could whimper!
"But Ren!" Yoh whined.
"No!" Ren yelled getting annoyed.
"But look at him!" Yoh pointed at the little monkey. Yoh handed it a small cup and the little monkey was now holding it out, through the bars, asking for bail. Yoh smiled.
"So cute!" Ren rolled his eyes.
"Fine..." He muttered. "But if he runs away-"
"Daijoubu Ren." Yoh said happily, as he took the monkey out of the cage and held it in it's arms. It squealed happily and nuzzled against Yoh's shirt, and soon, fell asleep.
"How cute. Yoh has a new buddy." Horo said.
"Horo! Your awake!" Manta yelled. Horo smiled and nodded.
"I woke up when I head something bag against something." He told them.
"Yah that was the monkey asking for bail." Yoh told Horo.
"Bail?" Horo asked.
"Don't ask." Manta muttered as they walked back to Yoh's place in the monkey in Yoh's arms.
"Why did you need me for this dare?" Anna asked Hao suspiciously.
"No special reason." Hao said with a shrug. "You are just needed for this dare."
"And this dare would be?"
"You'll see." Hao simply told her. Anna studied Hao a bit before she continued walking.
After a good 15 minutes or so of walking, they were finally at their destination... The graveyard.
"Hao..." Anna asked nervously. "Why the hell are we in a graveyard?" Hao laughed.
"What? Scared?" He asked her as he walked off. The hell she was!
"No..." She said quietly. She looked around and soon found herself alone. Hao had disappeared off somewhere and left her all alone in a graveyard! At night! She felt a something blow against her ear and a small boo. She jumped and let out a yelp, turning around to see Hao with a smirk on his face.
"So you are scared.' He said in a teasing voice.
"Hao!" Anna yelled.
"Sorry, sorry." Hao said with a grin. "I just had to tease you. Now come on. I found a dug out tomb for you."
"A what?" Anna asked him. Form the name, it didn't even sound that friendly.
"A dug out tomb. That's what we call it." Hao told her and took her hand, leading her deeper into the cemetery. They walked a bit farther and soon stopped. Anna now found out what a "dug out tomb" was. It was just a big dug out hole, ready for the coffin to be buried in. There were no caskets near by however. "There was probably a funeral tomorrow or something." Anna thought to herself and then froze.
"Wait, what did you say? That it was ready for me?" She asked Hao who smiled and nodded.
"Your crazy." Anna muttered. Hao laughed.
"No really. Look." He handed her his dare card and Anna snatched it. She lifted it up so that she could use to moonlight for light.
Take one of the girls to the cemetery and make her go in a dug out tomb.
"You have too much time on your hands." Anna muttered. "Why does it have to be me?" Hao shrugged.
"Because if I got down there, chances are that you won't be able to pull me up and it says get one of the girls." He told her.
"I meant why me out of all the girls." Anna asked again. Hao shrugged yet again.
"Because I want to spend time with you?" Anna rolled her eyes.
"Those are called dates. And you take her out to the movies or something. Not burry her alive." She told Hao who laughed.
"Well come on. the sooner you do this dare, the faster you can get out of here." He told her. Ana let out a small growl as she slowly and carefully jumped down into the whole.
"If there are any arms that grab me, you are so dead Asakura." She mumbled. Hao smiled.
"No such thing." He told her as he took her picture and snapped his camera phone shut.
"Ok, your done." He said as he got up and walked off. Anna's mouth dropped.
"Hao! Hao, get back here! You can't leave me here like this! Hao! Hao, I know you can here me! Get back here!" She yelled. Anna heard a lazy yet teasing laugh and Hao reappeared.
"Calm down." He told her as he bent down to have a closer look at her. "I was just kidding you know."
"Get me out of here!" Anna demanded. Hao chuckled but extended his arm to help her out, but in a teasing way, withdrawing every time Anna reached out to grab it.
"Hao!" She scowled. Hao chuckled.
"Aren't you cute when you get mad?" He teased as he pulled her up. She plopped on the floor exhausted although she didn't do much. Hao chuckled and poked her cheek teasing her. "Had fun visiting the dead?" He asked her.
"Shut up." She muttered. Hao smiled. Anna got up but Hao pulled her down and for some reason and jumped down into the hole. "Wha-" Hao clasped his hand over her mouth to stop her from talking.
"Shh." He hushed her by pressing his finger on her lips and pushed her back so that they were against the wall.
"Oh my god! What is he doing!" Anna asked herself. Hao is gong to rape her! Then she heard a few voices and a radio. Sounded like 2 police officers or something.
"I thought I saw someone here." One voice said.
"Maybe it was just your imagination. There is no one here. Either that or it's just probably just some crazy kids out her partying." Another said. "Let's get back to office. It's almost time for our break." The voices sounded father and father away with each passing second. Hao slowly removed his hand from Anna's mouth. They were gone... Anna looked up and sighed. Great. Now they were both stuck down here. How was she going to get out now?
"Come on. Time to go." Hao whispered and he jumped out of the hole with ease. Anna folded her arms and looked up at him.
"You better not try anything funny Hao." She warned him. Hao chuckled.
"You really don't trust me?" He asked trying to sound hurt. Anna rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand as he pulled her up. When she finally got up, she somehow lost her balance and fell on top of Hao who tripped backwards so they both ended up collapsing to the floor. Mari rested on Hao's chest exhausted, her face flushed. Hao smiled lightly and ran his fingers through her hair, watching as her hair bounced the light back to the moon.
"I didn't know you wanted me so badly." He teased. Anna's face was now flushed.
"Shut up." She muttered. She got off him and plopped down next to him.
"So how has it been so far?" Hao asked her as he gazed up at the stars.
"Meaning?" Anna asked.
"How do you like it here? Fun?" Hao asked. Anna nodded slightly.
"I guess." She muttered.
"What's your most favorite thing here so far?" Hao questioned again. Anna shrugged.
"I really don't know." She muttered and looked at Hao. "What about you? Out of all the things here in California... What do you like most?" Hao smiled.
"You." He simply said and continued to gaze at the stars. Anna's face started heating up again. "Got time tomorrow?" Anna blinked.
"I think so... Why?" She looked down at Hao who was now staring into her eyes.
"Because I want to go on a date with you." He said smiling softly. "Like you said, spending time with someone special is called a date and not burying her alive." Anna gave him a shy smile as she felt blush rising to her cheeks.
"So what do you say?" Hao asked, still staring at her. "Want to go out with me?" Anna smiled and nodded.
"I'd love to." She said in a shy and soft voice. Hao smiled and got up.
"It's official then. We are going on a date." He said pulling her up. "We better get back. It's getting late." Anna nodded. Hao gave her a quick peck on the cheek before taking her hand and leading her out.
