Hey! Sorry I haven't updated for a while. March-May are my birthday months. There's like, at least twenty birthdays through those three months. And that's just my family. Don't even get me started on my friends.

"We want you to give us some answers." the guy said. "Answer quickly and correctly and she won't have to go through much pain."
I gulped. "Any other options?" My voice came out just above a whisper. I was sweating so much, that I felt like I could make my own river.
The man spoke slowly. "Put the phone on speaker." he waited a couple of seconds while I hit the button that was labeled 'Sp' "Now hand the phone to Tobey." My hand was shaking so hard I thought that the phone might drop right to the floor. "Tobey?"
"Yes." Tobey gasped.
"Now all you have to do is answer this riddle right and we'll send Rose home safely. She won't remember anything, but she'll be unharmed. You got that?"
"Mm-hm"
"Are all the kids who are younger than nineteen gathered around you?"
"Mm-hm"
"Okay, even though I am far from the point, I don't make mistakes, I fix them. What am I?" I could almost see him sneer at the question.
"Oh! That's easy!" Tobey cried. "Creamed corn!"
"I'm sorry, but that's the wrong answer. I'll call you again in five minutes if I don't get the answers from the female." the phone went dead.

"Well, your little friend wasn't going to save you." Miroku said, snapping the phone shut "Now, are we going to do this the easy way," he motioned to the prayer beads around his wrist. "or the hard way?"
I gulped. If I didn't answer his questions, then... I couldn't even think about it. "What do you want to know?" I choked.
"I know that you know where Sango is. So, where is she?"
I gulped. His eyes narrowed from impatience. He wouldn't listen to reason. But Sango wouldn't want me to tell and, like her, I respect what people want. Now that I thought about it, me and her are alot alike. My hands clenched together, and pulled apart, trying to break free of the ropes that was tied around me.
Miroku smiled, and began to undue the beads from his wrist. "Miroku, lets not play with our food." a voice came from the couch. Inuyasha.
"She's at Juang's Bakery. She's picking up some cupcakes with Kagome. They'll probably be there for another few hours since they had a whole bunch of money that they didn't need." I had meant to say "Never." but I choked on my words.
Miroku's smile grew into a smirk. His palms unclenched the beads. "Inuyasha, stay here and keep an eye on the girl while I go to the Bakery. But before I go, you get one free call."
He picked up my lime green cell-phone and untied one of my hands. I dialed the familiar number, but before I could press talk, Miroku's hand was pulling my phone away. "You cannot tell them where you are, nor tell them who took you." he said. I nodded, showing that I understood.
I hit talk, and put the phone up to my ear. It started to ring. One... two... three... four... it rung a dozen times before he picked up.
"Hello?" Sid answered.
Do you know the answer to the riddle? If you think you do, answer. And do it quickly! Rosalyn's life is in your hands!!
