Thank you to everyone who's read my other chapters hope you drop a review next time. I got no reviews for chapter five. So sad ;-; Read and review!
Chapter Six
"Yea, he did." Came Ayumu's simple response.
"Well? What do you think of Hiyono now?"
"This is not the time Rio. Lets go." When he turned around, Rio shot a questioning look at Kousuke and shrugged. The two blade children followed him. When they reached the back door, Kousuke's phone started ringing.
"Yo?" Kousuke looked around before answering. "Yea, it's Ayumu." When Rio shot him a questioning look, he mouthed the words Ask Ayumu. Rio turned to Ayumu and Ayumu explained while Kousuke listened to the man on the phone.
"I see that you've got the first girl. But I assure you, they won't be easier to save."
"Try me." Challenged Kousuke.
"Be at Tokyo Tower in twenty minutes." The man hung up. When he did, Ayumu was already running. Rio and Kousuke ran just to catch up.
"What's the big rush?" Questioned Asazuki.
"You heard the guy. Twenty minutes. If we don't get on a train when we get there, it's another ten-minute wait until the next train. It takes approximately eight minutes to get there. But then you still have to walk out of the station. We need to make this train." Without question, the two blade children followed.
When they went under the train tracks, Ayumu cursed. "If I'm right, the train above us is the one that goes to Tokyo Tower. We need to get to the station now." With that, the blade children followed his lead and increased their speed.
When they arrived through the platform, the train just shut its doors.
"Now what? We just missed our train." Kousuke looked around. "What happened to Rio?" But when he turned back, little Narumi was also missing. "Where did they…"
But his sentence was cut off by a scream from the back of the train. "Asazuki!" There stood Rio and Ayumu.
"Kousuke, hurry up, you're so slow!" Complained Rio. The train started tomove. Kousuke ran along side the train and jumped. He missed the railing, but two hands didn't miss him. The two pulled him up and collapsed.
Ayumu was the first to recover and he opened the door to the compartments. Rio giggled as she walked through first. When Kousuke was about to walk through, Ayumu stepped in front of him and walked through himself. Kousuke sighed and opened the door himself.
When the train stopped, the three got off and dashed up the stairs to the outside world. In front of them stood Tokyo Tower. The three stood in silence, not knowing what to do next. Their silence was shattered by Kousuke's phone.
"'ello."
"I've noticed you've brought the girl with you. I can't wait until the fun starts. I've scattered ten bombs in this area. Each bomb has a timer. That timer will start after you find the bomb before it. The locations are public. The locations are simple enough; the challenge is to find the bombs. The challenge is to find each of the bombs before they go boom! Oh, did I mention? The bombs are in a circle around Tokyo Tower and will be triggered in order, clockwise. Have fun, kiddies."
"Damn it!" Said Kousuke, punching the wall behind him.
"How are we going to find them all? There are countless places where these bombs could be!" said a worried Rio.
"Hey Kousuke, reach behind you and get that map, would you?" was Ayumu's response. The two blade children could only stare as he laid open the map and made random markings on it. When he held up the map, the two blade children could only stare, confused at first.
Clapping her hands together, Rio exclaims, "Oh! I see now. The blue numbers indicate the order of which we should disarm the bombs. The red circles indicate the area where the bomb might be. The green marks are lists of specific places that we should check out. And last, but not least, anything with black circles indicate that the place certainly contains a bomb."
"Exactly. You catch on quick, unlike some people."
"You better as hell not be referring to me." Said Kousuke.
Ayumu chose to ignore the comment. "Sine you know the code, I say we split up. I'll look for bombs one, four, seven, and ten. Kousuke will look for two, five, and eight. Rio, you will get three, six and nine. Got it?" Ayumu got two more maps and copied down the information.
"How do you know that this is where the bomb is? You might be wrong. The can be in millions of places, why here?" Questioned Kousuke.
"First, remember what he said, 'The locations are simple enough, the challenge is to find the bombs.' The locations that are noted are close to Tokyo Tower and form a circle, with Tokyo Tower as the center. Just trust me. Lets go look for the bombs now. When you find one, phone the next person. We should be able to get them in order. Lets go!" With that, the three dispersed.
Ayumu headed in the direction of the first bomb. He glanced at his list and choose a location. When he finally reached his location, he surveyed the area. He searched for signs of suspicion and signs of a bomb. He heard it before he saw it. He looked around, and spotted a bench a few meters away from him. He reached under the seat and grabbed the bomb. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Kousuke.
Notes: How did you like it? I hope you liked it plenty. I'm going to try to get the suspense in there. It's going to be a while until they find all of these bombs. I think it will take them two chapters or so. I hope you read my other stories too. Woot! From yours always,
