Mukuro: Aw, no reviews? Oh, well.

The Ravens' Flight
Chapter 1
"Ah, so, as I was saying, Mr. Rutherford, these are the finest vehicles there are. They can hold a maximum of four people, and can go across almost any terrain." The car dealer said, pointing to a large prototype jeep.
"Wow! Really?" Kanone asked.
"Of course!" The car dealer said, smiling that sleazy grin.
Kanone really is gullible… Eyes thought, face-palming.
"We'll take two!" Kanone said, smiling.
"Thank you! Your total comes to…"
"Eyes, I forgot my wallet. Can you loan me the money?" Kanone asked, holding out his hand, smiling.
"…Fine." Eye said, writing out a check.
"I'm still not sure if I should let you go to a summer camp I don't even know about." Madoka said, rubbing her head.
"Come on, it'll be great!" Hiyono said, smiling.
"What exactly will be great about it?" Madoka asked.
"Well, Ayumu will be gone all summer!" Hiyono said, smiling. Madoka's attitude changed instantly.
"Have fun at summer camp, Ayumu!" Madoka said, smiling.
"A little less obvious, please." Ayumu said, frowning.
"Oh, come on Ayumu! Go and get packed!" Hiyono said, kicking him into the room.
"Stupid girl…" Ayumu said, picking himself off the floor.
"Why are we going to this stupid summer camp anyway?" Kousuke asked.
"Kousuke you idiot… we're going because Riyo insists we go." Ryoko said.
"Yay! Summer camp with Eyes!" Riyo said, smiling.
"Wait, so you're telling me we're going to a crappy, low rate summer camp because Riyo wants to go to summer camp with Eyes?" Kousuke asked.
"That, and none of us have ever gone before, do to our… 'family situation'. So shut up and start paking my clothes!" Ryoko said, kicking the slacking off Kousuke.
"Do you have any idea what could happen to our reputations if someone caught us at a summer camp?" Kousuke muttered, packing clothes for Ryoko.
"Well, Kousuke, you don't have to worry about ruining your reputation! It's been in shambles since day one!" Riyo said, looking up from her suitcase.
"Hey, Rio, what are you packing, anyway?" Ryoko asked, looking over her shoulder.
"Oh, just my clothes, Mr. Bear, and my Eyes Doll!" Rio said, picking up a small plushie of Eyes, frown and all.
"That's… kind of creepy…" Kousuke said.
"Back to work, Kousuke!" Ryoko said, kicking Kousuke back to the suitcase.
"So, tell me again why we have to go with Little Narumi?" Kousuke said, walking up to the designated meeting place.
"Because Kousuke, Eyes and Kanone are the only ones with drivers licenses', so we have to have four per car." Rio said, smiling. If it makes you feel any better, you don't have to ride in the same car as him."
"Ayumu!" A voice said, an obvious smile to it.
"Oh no… that voice…" Ayumu said, face palming.
"Ayumu! It's me, Hizumi!" Hizumi said, walking up.
"Oh, hey…" Ayumu muttered, lazily raising a hand.
"So, have we discussed the seating?" Hizumi asked.
"No, we're doing that now." Eyes said.
"Well, I want to be with Ayumu since he's my best bud." Hizumi said, putting his arm around Ayumu.
"No thanks." Ayumu said, ducking under Hizumis' arm.
"I want to be with Eyes~!" Riyo said, smiling.
"I don't want to be with Narumi." Kousuke said.
"I want to be with Eyes." Kanone said.
"BUT YOU'RE DRIVING!" Everyone shouted.
"Hm… then… I don't really want to be with Ayumu…"
"I want to be with Ayumu!" Hiyono said.
"So, it seems that the order is car 1: Kanone, Kousuke, Ryoko, Hizumi. And car 2: Eyes, Riyo, Ayumu, Hiyono." Eyes said, holding up two charts.
"Did you plan it like that, Rutherford?" Kousuke asked.
"Of course not, Asazuki." Eyes said, placing his hand on Kousuke's shoulder, almost smiling.
"So, let's go, people!" Kanone proclaimed, smiling.
"Ayumuuuu!" Hizumi said, Kousuke dragging him away.
"Eyes, can we listen to some music?" Riyo asked.
"…No tapes."
"Well, how about the radio?"
"…No signal."
It had been several hours since they left, and Eyes' fifteen mile an hour driving was slowly putting hell on all of them.
"Rutherford, can we please go a little faster? We can barely see the others." Ayumu asked.
"No."
"But there's no speed limit out here!" Hiyono shouted.
"If I go to fast, I'll end up just like Kanone." Eyes said, pointing at the car in front of them.
"Kanone! Slow down a bit!" Ryoko said, shaking due to the 75 mile an hour speed Kanone was going at.
"Where the hell do you think we are, Indianapolis Speedway?!" Kousuke shouted.
"Wait, just watch this drift!" Kanone shouted, turning the wheel and breaking.
"I should have gone with Rutherford afteralllllllllllllllllll!" Kousuke said, holding on to the seat for dear life.
"Kanone, shouldn't we wait for Ayumu and the others?" Hizumi asked.
"Sure! Look, according to that sign we're at the camp boundaries, anyway. Let's just go past the fence, and we're there!" Kanone said,
"Okay, let's go." Hizumi said, smiling.
"Do you see anything, Rutherford?" Ayumu asked.
"Of course. Wasteland and a river as far as the eye can see…" Eyes said as the car passed through a fence and went up a steep hill until they arrived at a ledge overlooking the river.
"Ah, Eyes! You made it!" Kanone said, smiling.
"Yeah, but at the rate you were driving I'm surprised you did." Eyes said.
"Yeah, I know!" Kanone said, laughing. "But you can't blame me! I'm exited! This is my first time at a sleepaway camp!"
"Well, let's get going!" Kanone said, driving the car forward. Suddenly, the look in his eyes changed.
"Quick, let's go!" Kanone shouted, turning the car straight into the river, at the same time an explosion occurred a meter ahead of where he was.
When the car hit the river, it exploded, shooting blasts of shrapnel out from the river.
"Kanone!" Eyes shouted, jumping out of his car and looking over the edge, followed by the rest of the group.
Suddenly, Ryoko emerged from the water, holding onto an unconscious Kousuke. A few seconds later, Hizumi emerged from the water, gasping for breath. But there was still no sign of Kanone.
"Kanone!" Eyes shouted, and if it wasn't for Ayumu and Hiyono holding him back, he probably would've jumped right in after them.
"Hizumi, hold on to Kousuke. I'm going to go look for Kanone!" Ryoko shouted, diving underwater.
A few seconds later, she emerged empty handed.
"I can't find him! He's not down there, not even any signs of a body!" Ryoko shouted up.
"You mean… he…" Hiyono said, looking down.
Suddenly, Rio jerked her head up.
"Everybody, into the water!" She shouted, pushing them in, before jumping in herself.
"Rio! What the hell was that for?!" Hiyono shouted.
"Look!" Rio said, pointing up towards the ledge.
"What?" Eyes asked.
"Can't you smell the gathering elements, the explosive air, the gases combinding?" Rio asked.
"What are you talking about?!" Hiyono shouted.
"Look, Hiyono!" Rio said, pointing up. Suddenly, the other jeep burst into flames, and exploded, covering most of the ledge.
"We could have been killed!" Ryoko shouted.
"Yes… we could have ended up… like Kanone…" Eyes said, looking towards the remains of Kanones' jeep.
"Well, we're pretty beaten up… but we managed to make it…" Hizumi said, dropping Kousuke on the beach they managed to reach.
"Almost… all of made it…" Eyes said.
Mukuro: So, Kanone's dead? How sad! As many of you could have guessed, Hizumi has a slight crush on Ayumu. Also, please vote on pairings, any kind.
PLEASE REVIEW!
Mukuro Out.
