2nd chapter.
I got 3 reviews asking me to continue and update and I decided to finish the next chapter. Not very long, but yeah. Here it is.
Disclaimer: I only own the plot. And Friend the evil Furby. Nothing else.
The next morning the remaining six of the Band of Seven found Suikotsu lying in a pool of dried blood, a large glass shard stuck in his throat. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung open. His mirror was still where it had been the previous night—propped up against the wall.
Bankotsu shrugged. "Ah well, he always was suicidal."
Jakotsu followed his leader out of the room, Friend in his arms.
"Hey, Renkotsu, we're gonna go look for something to eat. Stay here at the shrine," Bankotsu ordered.
"But…yes, big brother," Renkotsu sighed, giving in.
Jakotsu paused and said, "I'm going to leave Friend here, okay Renkotsu?" Before Renkotsu could protest, he placed the Furby on the ground in front of Renkotsu and ran off in a cloud of dust, calling, "Take care of Friend, Renkotsu!"
Renkotsu looked at Friend, whose eyes flashed blood red.
"Oh, shit."
Friend began to laugh. "Hehehehehehe…"
--
"Do you think it was a good idea to leave Friend with Renkotsu?" Mukotsu was asking as the rest of the members made their way through the woods, looking for some kind village or something to destroy.
"Why wouldn't it be a good idea?" Jakotsu responded.
"There's something wrong with that thing, Jakotsu," Mukotsu said. "What if it kills Renkotsu?"
"No big loss on our part," Bankotsu replied.
"Except that Friend isn't that kind of person," Jakotsu protested.
"Right, Jakotsu, of course he isn't," Bankotsu played along.
--
Renkotsu felt a shiver of fear as Friend eyed him with his beady little red—actually, they're pretty big red eyes. Friend was staring at his with malice in his eyes and Renkotsu quickly looked away and returned to his studies.
There was a soft sound, and when Renkotsu looked up Friend was staring back at him happily. "I swear that thing was farther away," Renkotsu muttered. A small book of matches a gourd was lying beside Friend. He began to turn his attention back to his work when his eyes snapped back up.
There was no gourd. No matches.
"But…I'm think I'm going crazy."
"You are crazy."
Renkotsu's eyes bulged and Friend's laugh slowly began.
--
"I'm bored."
"We know, Jakotsu."
"…I'm bored."
"We heard you the first time."
"Yes, and I'm bored."
"Shut up Jakotsu."
"Bankotsu!" Jakotsu whined. "Kyokotsu's being mean!"
"Leave him alone Kyokotsu," Bankotsu said lazily, as if he was used to this. He probably was.
"But…"
"Leave him alone."
"…Yes…Big Brother…"
They walked on in silence for a little while, and then Jakotsu started up again. "I'm still bored!"
"Bankotsu!" grumbled Mukotsu.
"Shut up Mukotsu," was Bankotsu's reply.
"That isn't fair…" Mukotsu mumbled.
"Life isn't fair."
"But…"
"Cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it Mukotsu. You're such a pain in the ass whiner," Bankotsu snapped.
Mukotsu fell silent after that. Then: "What's a bridge?"
"Go ask Renkotsu. He can explain."
"If he isn't dead yet," Kyokotsu added.
"Again, no big loss on our part," Bankotsu responded.
"You know? I wish I brought Friend," Jakotsu said suddenly.
"Yeah, well, I'm glad you didn't."
"Jerk!" Jakotsu glared angrily at Mukotsu. Several minutes later… "I'm bored!"
"Bankotsu!"
"Shut up Mukotsu."
"That's not fair…!"
Here we go again, Ginkotsu thought with a mechanical sigh.
--
Renkotsu looked up from his studies at a soft scraping sound.
Friend had inched closer, and it was holding a book of matches and Renkotsu's gourd of flammable liquid. Friend chuckled evilly, and Renkotsu whimpered.
"Oh, shit."
--
The ground trembled with a sudden explosion. A massive cloud of slate-gray smoke shot into the air and filtered out above the trees. The long tips of flames could be seen in the distance.
"The smoke is coming from the direction of the shrine," Jakotsu mused.
Bankotsu sighed. "Let's go back."
--
The entire shrine had been burned down. Nothing but black, smoldering ashes reeking of smoke. The walls and ceiling had caved in and were reduced to a few inches of burnt, blackened soot. Bankotsu walked into the wreckage without a trace of fear. "Looks like Renkotsu finally lost it." Then he smiled. "Hey look. Here's his corpse. Black and withered. I always knew he'd die like that."
Then Jakotsu pointed and shouted happily, "Look! Friend is still safe!" Friend was lying, untouched by the flames, in a perfectly round ring of floor from the shrine which was untouched by the fire like the Furby. There wasn't a singe burn mark or any soot inside Friend's little circle. Likewise, there weren't any burn marks or ashes on Friend. Jakotsu scooped Friend into his arms and did a little happy dance.
Friend's eyes flickered glowing red and he laughed evilly.
Stupid and random, right?
XD
But yah. Hey hey hey. How do you want Mukotsu and Kyokotsu to die? I don't know how to kill them off. Mukotsu's immune to poison, so death by poison is off the list. And Kyokotsu's huge so I can't have someone stomp on him...or can I? Anyway, suggestions? I'd love them. I'll give you fill credit for suggestion...and you'll get a cookie :)
