A/N: Another 20-balls entry. These were all written on a bus ride to an amusement park. It was vaguely frightening how easily I managed to find 20 bits of my personal Rikkai fanon to write down.


20 Points of Victory

1. Jackal actually has a reason for keeping his head shaved: it keeps him from getting teased. There are few who believe platinum blonde to be his natural colour, and those who do believe seem to find the fact utterly hilarious.

2. Mentioning the one time Yukimura lost a match back in primary school is not perhaps punishable by death, but he certainly has his ways of making you wish it was.

3. Sanada is afraid of dogs to the point of phobia. Only Renji and Yukimura are aware of this.

4. Niou's most closely guarded secret is a pink teddy bear named Hiro-chan. The only one allowed to know about it is Yagyuu, because Yagyuu is almost the same as Niou anyway.

5. Sanada has only once confiscated Marui's sweets. He realized the error of his ways when the redhead fell asleep in the middle of practice. Nowadays Marui is allowed his sweets and bubble gums, although he still had to run laps because of the sleeping incident.

6. Kirihara has a liking for redheads, and for one redhead in particular. It seems Marui is the only one unaware of this – and, also, the only one who doesn't tease Kirihara about it.

7. Sanada and Yukimura are perhaps not married, but as far as the rest of the team is concerned, they could just as well be.

Yukimura is not the wife.

8. Yagyuu is Christian.

9. Despite all the evidence to the opposite, Renji is not obsessed with Inui Sadaharu.

Really, he's not. Honest.

10. Out of all the eight members of the team, Jackal is the only straight one. He feels vaguely guilty about this.

11. The team believes Yukimura to be omniscient. He is yet to prove them wrong.

12. On an especially memorable day nobody, but nobody, is allowed to mention, Niou pulled the Switch off successfully enough to confuse even Yagyuu himself. Yukimura, of course, was not fooled by the "mirror".

13. Unlikely though it is, Marui was the first one to have an official fanclub outside Rikkai, courtesy of Jirou.

14. The first thing Yukimura did as soon as he was allowed to play again was to beat the rest of the team, one by one. None of them was surprised.

15. Nobody is allowed to give Kirihara more than his daily dose of sugary products or they'll be held responsible for the consequences.

16. Yukimura actually has founded a club for gentle-looking sadists together with Fuji Syusuke.

17. Nobody can make Yagyuu ride a roller coaster, not even Yukimura. The captain is fairly impressed.

18. Renj knows very well he is the weakest of the three demons, which doesn't matter to him.

He is, however, rather disturbed whenever he catches hints he's also not the most intelligent one.

19. As much as Kirihara wants to beat the three demons, he still almost wishes he will never win Yukimura. After all, if the captain is not invincible, there is nothing certain in his world.

20. Much though everybody adores the captain, their affection doesn't come even close to his pride of his team.
