SPOILER: I HAVE A SPOILER AHEAD ABOUT AKITO! SO BEWARE!
Ok… it's been a while, so where were we?
Unknown:
Anyone could see the dark sedan fly off the cliff, just ask the nearby woodland critters but not everyone can see what happened during that time…
"What the HELL do we do?" Kira shrieked as the end came near.
"JUMP!" Kyo shouted as he opened the door, getting ready to jump. Kira follow and they both jumped out of the car.
"Yuki! What do we do?" Tohru asked between sobs but it was too late, the car was now sailing in the air.
"Hmm… a flying car…" Haru commented, calm as ever.
"I love you, Tohru and I promise that nothing will happen to you!" Yuki said what he thought were his last words.
"I love you too, Yuki!" Tohru replied tearfully as gravity began to pull the car closer and closer to the ground…
CRASH! BOOM!
Sohma Estate:
"Did you feel that?" Shigure asked, shivering at the sudden cold draft he felt.
"Yeah… you think it's a bad omen?" Hatori asked as he rummaged through the family's file cabinets.
"No bad omen shall come while I'm around!" Ayame declared.
"So you're our lucky charm? Yay! I'm going to call you 'Lucky' now!" Shigure cheered.
"And I shall call you… 'Aka'!" Ayame beamed proudly.
"Eh? My new name is 'Red'?" Shigure asked, surprised.
"Yep!"
"Alright!" They both gave each other thumbs up.
"And I shall call you two, 'Idiots'…" Hatori said, aggravated, as he read down the will he just found.
"Eh? You found it Haa-san?" Shigure asked, as he peered over Hatori's shoulders along with Ayame. Hatori quickly moved away from Shigure and Ayame so he can read it in peace. He was shocked at what he was reading; he never thought Akito would name that person as his successor!
"Well? Who is it, Tori-san?" Ayame asked as he sipped his tea.
"It's…"
Unknown:
"Whoa… my head hurts…" Kira said, struggling to get up. She was lying on the ground next to a large tree, her body bent in an odd pose. From what she can tell, they were in some dense dry forest, like a savanna and far from civilization except for one highway that stretched and disappear into the horizon. There, at what seemed like the end of the road, was a small town.
"Hmm… a town…" Kira thought getting up.
"…Kyo? Kyo? Where are you?" Kira stood up and dust herself off, glancing around for the orange head.
"…Me…here…haha!" Kyo mumbled and then giggled.
"…? Kyo! Are you all right? You seem… strange…" Kira said as she rush to Kyo's side.
"Me fine! Me fine! Haha!" Kyo laughed again. Kira watched him questioningly as she helped him stand up.
"Whoa…! World is moving…" Kyo mumbled again as he leaned on to Kira heavily.
"You…need…to…lay off… the food…" Kira grunted as she tried to support Kyo's weight.
"Haha!…Who are you? You're pretty…" Kyo giggled again.
"Um… thanks… I'm Kira… hold onto this tree for a minute…I'm your girlfriend…" Kira told him as she hiked around, looking for everyone else.
"Whoa… I get a tree and a girlfriend in one day…whoa…" Kyo mumbled again just as he passed out.
The car had flew off the cliff and exploded into a bunch of pieces without bursting into flames. Yuki and Tohru were thrown into the air in each other's arms as Haru was thrown in the opposite direction.
"W-w-where am I? YUKI?" Tohru sobbed in relief as she saw Yuki a feet away from where she laid.
"TOHRU! We're alive!" Yuki smiled at her as they hugged.
"Eh? Yuki! You're not changing into a rat!" Tohru exclaimed
"EH? The curse is broken? Maybe it's because Akito died…" Yuki wondered as he looked around the area. They were in some sort of deserted town place where the doors creaked and spontaneously slammed. The windows were shatter and the town was dusty with age; it seemed like nobody live there anymore.
"An abandoned town?" Yuki thought as he held Tohru tighter.
Haru was fine as he stood up slowly, glancing around; all he saw was sand, sand, and more sand. Tumbleweeds rolled by him and a cactus was only inches away from torturing him.
"I'm in…a desert?" he thought as he backed away from the menacing cactus.
"Good cactus… good boy…or girl…" he muttered under his breath, holding his hands out to it as if patting it like a dog. He then stood up straight and looked around, careful to avoid the cactus.
"So… do I get my horse or something like a gun?" Haru said to himself as he perused the western like atmosphere. He saw in the farther distance, a few miles away, what look like a town and walked closer to it for a better look.
"Cool… a town…I wonder if they have shougayaki…" he muttered to himself as he set off.
Kira had managed to keep Kyo conscious as they slowly trudge towards the town in the dry heat.
"Are we there yet?" Kyo asked as he leaned on Kira heavily. Kira finally concluded that he hit his head on something when he jumped out of the car.
"No. Shut up. You asked for about, I don't know, TWENTY TIMES in the past FIVE MINUTES!" Kira asked, completely aggravated with the idiotic questionings.
"…Are we there yet?" Kyo asked timidly
"AGH! NO!" Kira screamed and slapped him across he face. She then gasped at what she had done.
"Ugh… what the HELL was that for?" Kyo yelled.
"Yay! You're back to yourself!" Kira hugged him and then helped him stand up.
"What happened? Where are we? Are we dead?" Kyo asked, panicked, looking around quickly.
"We're lost and we're not dead! Are you NOT breathing?" Kira retorted, annoyed with the situation.
"What the hell? You say it like it's MY fault!" Kyo yelled back.
"You were the one who said to JUMP out of the car!" Kira yelled back furiously as they came closer to the town after what seemed like hours.
"Kira? Kyo?" A voice said behind them. They turned around to see Haru with his hands in his pockets, casually leaning on a cactus.
"Haru? HARU!" Kira ran up to him and hugged him.
"What the- the IDIOT IS ALIVE?" Kyo exclaimed angrily.
"Eh? Aren't you happy to see Haru-chan?" Kira asked Kyo.
"HE WAS THE ONE WHO NEARLY KILLED US!" Kyo pointed accusingly at Haru.
"I see Kyo's fine…" Haru said, looking at Kira and completely ignoring Kyo.
"Hm… yeah, you should have seen him a few hours ago…" Kira smirked as both of them continue to walk towards the town.
"Hey! HEY!" Kyo yelled, jogging after them.
Sohma Estate:
"I can't believe it…" Hatori sighed, sinking into his chair as his two over-energetic friends continue to jump with anticipation.
"Well? WELL? Haa-san! TELL US!" Shigure begged
"Yes! Tori-san! Tell us! TELL US!" Ayame pleaded.
"No. Not yet." Hatori muttered as he got up to usher them out of his room. If he told them now, they would give him a headache over it.
"Haa-san! You're so mean!" Shigure whined
"You're ever so cold Tori-san!" Ayame added as Hatori locked both of them outside.
"Well? Now what?" Ayame looked at his friend.
"I know! Let's go see Mayuko-chan! This house reeks of death!" Shigure declared.
"You are such a good poet, Aka!" Ayame laughed as they walk out of the estate.
"No, no, Lucky! Not poet! Novelist! NOV-E-LIST!" Shigure stretched out each syllable.
Hatori continued to pace his office, thinking of what the will said.
"Him? Why him? WHY? If he heads the family, everyone will be eternally drunk… Not only that, but my car is missing and I haven't heard from Kira, Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, and Haru for … 2 days? Or 3? This is bad, very bad. Why does it have to be MY family with the insanity? WHY?" Hatori contemplated in his mind as a knock appeared at his door.
"Go away Shigure! You too, Ayame!" Hatori said in a loud, firm voice. The knock came again and this time, along with a voice,
"It's Kureno."
(SPOILER APPEARS AROUND HERE!)
"Oh… sorry." Hatori apologized through the door as he got up to open the door. He opened the door to reveal Kureno holding a gun straight at his face with Ren standing next to him.
(BTW, Ren is Akito's mom…)
"What's going on?" Hatori finally asked after a long silence.
"Move! Get inside!" Kureno barked which seemed most unlike him. Hatori slowly walked backwards into his office as Ren quickly closed the door and locked it. Kureno held the gun at Hatori's head as Ren tied his hands behind his back and his feet to the legs of his chair. She also gagged him but pulled the gag down so it hung around his neck.
"What are you doing?" Hatori asked.
"Should we tell him?" Ren asked Kureno.
"No. Not yet. You! Where's the will?" Kureno demanded.
"The will?" Hatori asked, stalling.
"Yes! The WILL! WHERE IS IT?" Kureno yelled, shoving the gun into Hatori's forehead.
"I would have thought you have it." Hatori calmly replied.
"You're a smart man, Hatori. The smartest of the juunishi." Kureno smirked.
"Thank you."
"So you caught on already? That Akito hid the real will? That the one you saw was a fake?" Kureno asked, darkly grinning.
"Yes. It seems impossible for him to name Shigure as the new head of the Sohma family but I am curious about why you and Ren-san want to kill me." Hatori replied
"So you won't find it! As I mentioned before, you're the only threat to the Sohma family! The smartest of the juunishi! Akito told me, he mentioned me long ago that whoever FINDS his will will be named head of the family! I have waited too long, sucked up too long to him for my chance to suck up to another head of the family. I will make sure that NO ONE gets in my way!" Kureno snarled in Hatori's ear.
"So what does this have to do with Ren-san?" Hatori asked, glancing at Akito's mother.
"She's knows this house and she knows Akito. She would know where Akito would have hid that will. And once we find it, we'll split the power, she gets half and I get half." Kureno answered.
"I see… what about Shigure and Ayame?"
"Those two are fucking idiots! We don't have to worry about them!" Kureno snapped as he replaced Hatori's gag and turned to leave the room, locking the door from the outside and left with Ren.
"Kureno seems different… it seems like Akito's death wore off on him…" Hatori thought.
Unknown:
"Yuki… I'm tired…I'm sorry! I shouldn't be complaining to you!" Tohru gasped at what she had just said.
"I think we can rest here." Yuki said glancing around the old abandoned motel. He saw a bed with a hole-ridden mattress but the few chairs he saw downstairs seemed in a better condition.
"I'm going to carry some of the chairs in the old bar up here, okay? You stay here." Yuki said, turning to leave.
"No! Why don't we just rest down in the old bar? Maybe we might find some food and the alcohol can provide us a fire!" Tohru said cheerfully, trying to make up for what she said before.
"That's a good idea." Yuki smiled, nodding at her and they went back downstairs.
Kyo, Kira, and Haru seemed to be walking constantly with Kyo complaining the whole time but the town seems to be getting closer to them with each step.
"I think we're almost there." Haru commented.
"We better be! I'm tired…" Kyo said but Kira said nothing and just stared ahead walking at a constant rate.
"Are you ok?" Kyo asked her, touching her shoulder lightly. She jumped slightly and then smiled at him,
"Eh? I'm fine! I'm just tired too." Kira replied. They continue walking silently until they arrived at an old barrel, which the wind blew about 20 feet away from the town itself.
"I wonder where Yuki and Tohru are…" Kira said as they looked around the old town they arrived in.
"Hey. Look, a saloon." Haru said, pointing. Kyo gave him a blank stare.
"What the hell is a saloon?" he asked.
"It's a western word for bar." Kira explained.
"Oh…" Kyo mumbled as they walked up the rickety steps and push the swinging doors to reveal a surprised Yuki and a screaming Tohru.
"EEEEEEEKKK! GHOSTS!" Tohru shrieked as she buried her head in Yuki's shoulder.
"I see she's fine…" Kyo muttered in which Kira elbowed him.
"Yuki? Tohru? You guys are alive!" Kira exclaimed as she ran up to hug Yuki and Tohru.
"Eh? EH? Kira-san? Kyo-san? Haru-san? I'm so happy you're all right!" Tohru gave them a big grin.
"Hm… Yuki, did you find any sake here? I'm thirsty" Haru asked as he got behind the bar and poked around the glass bottles.
"No, but there's beer… you shouldn't be drinking alcohol, you know how you get when you're drunk and it dehydrates you faster." Yuki replied as he sweatdropped at Haru's request.
"This isn't good… do you think there's a phone around here somewhere?" Kyo asked, glancing around and then everyone heard a small gasp from Kira.
"What?" Kyo asked.
"Um… I just realized I have my cell phone with me…" Kira said quietly, blushing madly.
"WHAT? You just realize that NOW?" Kyo yelled.
"Yes." she replied, pulling out her cell phone.
"There's no signal bars, I need more..." Kira trailed off as she began to head outside again.
"Wait, I'll come." Kyo said as he followed her out. Haru, Yuki and Tohru watched them from the tiny porch of the saloon. Kira began to do a strange walk as she moved this way and that, her eyes still on the tiny cell phone screen. She began to walk a bit farther away with Kyo on to higher land until she cried out,
"I GOT A SIGNAL!" her voice echoed but then both Kyo and Kira then shrieked in amazement as they both pointed to something on the opposite side of the hill. Haru, Tohru, and Yuki all ran to see hat happened and then saw something that they never thought they would see…
A highway.
"Yes! Civilization!" Kyo cried out as they all began to run down the hill.
Shiraki's Bookstore:
"MAYUKO-CHAN!" both Shigure and Ayame exclaimed, their eyes sparkling with mischievous enjoyment.
"Ugh… you two… what do you want?" Mayu shook her head at the sight of them.
"We just wanted to come visit you!" Shigure said.
"… Oh yeah, I saw Hatori's car on the news with the Sohma kids in it and Honda." Mayu replied.
"EH? Are they ok?" Ayame asked.
"I don't know, the news helicopter followed them to the highway but lost them after a few hours." Mayu watched them.
"It's always their family to get the attention, isn't it? And I have to be the one that's associated to THEM…" Mayu sighed as she rubbed her forehead in aggravation.
"Are you all right Mayuko-chan?" Ayame asked kindly.
"I will be when you two GET OUT!" she yelled.
"It's all right Mayuko-chan, we're all suffering from lost love…" Shigure said
"Not me! I am impervious to broken hearts and broken love!" Ayame said triumphantly.
"Hm… is that so? What about broken promises? What about pain? Are you invulnerable to them too?" Mayu asked with an amused look.
"Sadly, no… I'm human and all humans feel the pain and loneliness that results from broken promises…" Ayame said.
"Now I'm all upset…" Shigure said as he began to sob openly along with Ayame.
"You two…are such idiots…" Mayu sighed as she patted both of them on the back awkwardly.
All righty then… another chapter accomplished! LOL!
Everyone seemed OOC in this chapter, especially Kureno… lol…
