A/N: Yay! I got some reviews! And some people got it RIGHT! YAY! Here they are:
1st place- Kyonkichi-san and Kyki- The Late Night Writer
2nd place- tigersim1 (You were close with Big Ben!)
3rd place- kibamaru
People who didn't even try- AbbysCorner and CLFBF (You knew what it was!)
The answer was: CLOCK TOWER! Or in other words (the words used in this story, The BELL TOWER!
Any way thanks for all the reviews, keep reviewing, and read this chapter!
Ch. 2: The Bell Tower
"The new clock tower they built downtown!" Kyo exclaimed.
Yuki nodded. "The kidnappers must have taken her there."
Kyo punched the air. "Well, let's get going!" They raced around to the tiny tool shed where everything was kept. After dislodging their bikes from the middle and casting a forlorn glance at Tohru's pink bike still hanging on the wall, Yuki and Kyo zoomed down the street. Arriving at the tower around 5 pm, the boys locked their bikes up, and started towards the tower.
"I wonder where they put her." Yuki said, thinking. "And if they left another note, which I'm sure wouldn't happen but there is a possibility, where would it be?"
Taken aback, Kyo said, "Well, I'd put it somewhere where not many people would find it and read it."
"That means it could be in any nook or cranny inside, or maybe even stuck on the outside!" Yuki exclaimed. "We'd never find it!"
"Hey," Kyo shrugged. "All we have to do is climb up the outside and take the stairs inside"
"I'll take the stairs." Yuki said immediately.
"Right!" Kyo yelled. "And I'll take the outside!" He struck a heroic pose, looking up towards the sky with a fist at the ready.
Yuki took one look at Kyo and decided to start walking before Kyo could change his mind. "Idiot," he said quietly, closing the door gently.
Kyo stood there a while longer before finally realizing his gargantuan mistake. "Hey, wait a minute!" he realized. "D--- IT! I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!" he shouted, causing quite a scene.
Yuki leaned out from the fourth floor window, calling down, "Yes you are."
Kyo shook a fist at the now vacant window Yuki had called down from. "Grr," he grumbled, and reached for a handhold. "I'll show you who's an idiot!"
Kyo had just started climbing when Yuki reached the sixth floor.
Miraculously, they both get to the 12th (and final) floor at the same time.
"I've checked everywhere inside," Yuki panted. "I searched the book store, the gift shop, everywhere! I didn't even find a note!"
Kyo ran a hand through his bright orange hair, clearly stumped. "I didn't find the note either. Maybe it's up here somewhere."
They start looking around, and, after five very unsuccessful minutes, Kyo opens the bell and clock maintenance door. He notices that there's a ladder hanging outside of the open window.
"I'm going up to the bell." Kyo called over his shoulder.
Yuki scrambled up from where he was kneeling to check under the displays. "I'm coming too." he said, scampering over.
"Suit yourself," Kyo said, and started up the ladder. The boys climbed up the ladder, and into the bell chamber. Immediately, Kyo notices a small spot of blue just inside the bell. "Look!" he exclaimed, pointing. "What's that?"
Yuki bent to look just inside. "It's Miss Honda's shoe!" he yelped excitedly.
"Don't just stand there!" Kyo said. "Grab it!"
Yuki grabs the shoe, but there's no Tohru in it!
"D--- IT!" Kyo muttered.
While Kyo was brooding, Yuki had been examining the shoe. "There's an envelope inside the shoe," he said quietly.
"What did you say?!" Kyo snapped back to reality.
"I said," Yuki shot back, "that there is an envelope inside Miss Honda's shoe!"
"Well, what's in it?" Kyo demanded. "Open it!"
Yuki gently ripped it open, being careful not to tear whatever was inside. He sighed. "What's in it?" Kyo said angrily. "Don't tell me it's another note!" Yuki just looked at him, and was silent.
"D--- IT!" Kyo yowled. "Not another frickin' note!" He sighed and face palmed himself. Sighing again, he mumbled, "Just read it. And call her Tohru, for Akito's sake!"
"Fine!" Yuki snapped. "It says:
What a shame, what a shame.
She's still missing, and you're to blame.
Where Greeks put on an ancient play,
Boy, Miss Honda's having a really Bad Day."
Kyo brightened. "That's easy!"
Dun dun duuuuun! Can you figure this one out too? CLFBF, no you can't tell them! If you do, Flarefur will come after you with a chainsaw/bazooka. Now review with your answers and all will be well, and I will cont. this story. Bye!
Luv,
Lightkit
PS- If this is too hard, blame Flarefur. I asked the kid where to go next and they answered with this!
