Chapter 21:
The End (Part 1)
I rubbed my eyes, thinking it was a dream, but it wasn't unfortunately. We had all been locked in a vault…again. Alex wasn't dealing with it very well either. Just now we found out she was scared of the dark and she's claustrophobic. So she was rocking back in forth in one of the corner's of the vault.
Alex started to sing way off key, trying to comfort herself I guess. "Make…it…STOP!!!" Kankuro shouted covering his ears. Alex wasn't really fit for American Idol of you know what I mean. It was bad enough we were trapped in a dark vault, but Alex was screeching on notes no singer could reach. She could shatter mirrors if she wanted to.
Then, a miracle happened! Alex stopped sing- I mean screeching!! I sighed in relief. There was a shuffling sound of money echoing through the vault now. "Alex, what are you doing?" I asked blindly into the darkness.
"I don't know," Alex stammered. "Just moving around"- there was a loud thump that interrupted her sentence.
"I'm okay!" Alex informed, "It was just wall"- she was cut short again. This time she had tripped over a pile of money. Alex whined in frustration into the pile of money that had broken her fall. She sat up and wrapped her arms around her knees. She started to hum and not sing (thank the lord.)
"Oh crap," I heard Kankuro say.
"What?" Reiya asked, Alex was humming a bit louder now.
"I gotta pee," Kankuro answered.
We all froze in utter horror; Alex was humming pretty loud now. "And where do you think you'll be able to…pee," I asked.
"I don't know!" Kankuro whined. We started to get into a deep argumental conversation. Alex, still humming, suddenly sang, "There's a vase in the coooorner!!" we didn't hear her.
This time she sang the words a bit louder, "There's a vase in the coooorner!!" but we still hadn't heard her.
This time Alex practically yelled it at us, "OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! THERE'S A VASE IN THE CORNER!!!" but ironically, we still didn't hear her.
Reiya turned and hit something. She picked it up and said, "Hey how about this vase?" we all agreed. Alex slapped her palm against her forehead.
Reiya set the vase into Kankuro's lap. "Pee in it," she ordered him.
"Yeah no can do," Kankuro said.
"And why not?" Reiya scorned impatiently.
"Quite simple really," Kankuro answered in a calm tone, but his voice suddenly got loud, "BECAUSE I HAVE NO PRIVACY IN HERE THAT'S WHY!!"
"So you plan on peeing your pants?" I asked sarcastically.
Kankuro didn't answer. I was guessing he was giving a scornful glare or something. I heard the shuffling of money again. "Try not to trip this time," I teased Alex.
"It's not my fault I tripped," Alex grumbled, leaning against one of the vault walls. "It's dark and how am I supposed to see where I'm go- AHH!"
There was a loud screeching sound of something moving, and then the fluttering of money falling to the ground. A light show through the room. We stared blankly at the entrance. I looked at Kankuro who was squirming from side to side impatiently. "If we got in the other room will you pee in the vase?" I babied.
"Yes," Kankuro answered sourly.
So we all went to the other room (stepping over Alex as we entered), and discovered it was another room to the vault. Kankuro came in too once he was done doing…you know. I walked around the room, whistling as I approached a bundle of money. I quickly snatched it and shoved it in my pocket. We still needed money to pay for the computers.
This room was much bigger than the one were previously in which calmed Alex down a little. Now we wouldn't have to hear her singing, no, screeching anymore.
A bright button on the wall caught my attention. There was a bright arrow pointing up on it. A smiled, realizing what it was. "Hey guys I found an elevator!"
That made everyone pretty dang happy. You would too if you had been trapped in a vault with Alex. When the elevator doors shut, and it started to move up, I looked around. "Has anyone noticed Naruto hasn't been here the whole ti"- I stopped short. I already knew the answer to my question. "Crap," I muttered to myself. Reiya and Alex understood too.
Once the doors opened, we bolted out and ran as fast as we could. We had to find the Akatsuki and fast. Now I knew what Deidara was saying before he caught us in stealing money from the vault. They were planning on extracting the nine-tailed fox from Naruto…
Well that's it for now. As you may have noticed the story is ending soon, very soon actually. The next chapter will result in the end of Naruto USA and then I'll start the sequel (I don't care what you guys think I'm writing it )
