ChainMail
a/n: So, I've been having this idea from me and my sister's talk last night. She was actually the one who started it but I guess it was a pretty good idea. Besides, if I don't write this now, she'd be the first one and I'll miss my chance. So, here goes. Chain mail. Hope you enjoy....^^

ChainMail
"Don't forget to check your mails, everyone. Valentine's is coming! We don't want those love mails piling up." Yukimura ordered while clapping.
"Yes!" The regulars and non-regulars replied lazily. All of them went to their respective houses and did as they were told.
Marui and Jackal decide that they would be checking their mails at Marui's house. Marui entered the house with Jackal and went upstairs.
"Aren't your parents home?" Jackal asked.
"No, they're on a business trip today." Marui replied.
"Oh."
They entered Maruis room and turned on the lights. They switched the computer on and Marui offered a chair to Jackal while he takes a seat on his.
"Okay, Marui. Let's see yours. After that, we can check mine." Jackal offered.
"Sure, why not." The red-head replied then blew a bubble.
"Okay...Signing in...There we-OH MY GOD!!!!" Jackal exclaimed, wide-eyed.
"What's the ma-WHAT THE HECK?!" Marui joined.
"Check it, check it. It's from buchou, you lucky monster."
"I'm pretty sure you have it, too."
"Me? No way on earth will I receive anything from buchou. I'm way too unnoticeable." Jackal proudly said.
"So, just open it." He ordered.
"Fine, fine." Marui answered with a sigh and clicked on the mail.
"Let's see...Hmm...You will die withing six days if you read anything...from this....letter..." Jackal read, the last parts slowly delivered.
They looked at each other for a brief moment then laughed.
"That's Yukimura-buchou to you! Always making funny letters! I mean, 'you will die within six days', what the heck?!" Marui shouted, tears oming out from his eyes.
"Yeah, like, chainmail?! Whatever!" Jackal added.
They laughed and laughed until it died off. Marui and Jackal's face becoming serious.
"Do you think it's true?" Marui asked Jackal sadly.
"I don't know, but if it is, we would be doubles partner 'til the very end. Both of us only have six days left, if it happens." Jackal seriously answered.
"C'mon, let's ask the others if they read a similar mail." Marui said.
"Yeah, we better."
They left the house and went to Niou's residence.
DING DONG
The door opened and there in the door way stood Niou.
"Marui, Jackal! What are you two doing here? Do you know what time is it?"
"No, we don't care about the time. We wanted to ask you something." Jackal said.
"What is it, then?"
"Well, did you perhaps read a mail from buchou?"
"From Yukimura-buchou? No. I didn't even receive a letter from him. Why?" Niou replied.
"Oh, is that so. Well, thanks, then. Bye!" Marui and Jackal waved then ran off to somewhere else.
"Oi! Chotto! What is this all about?! Oi!" Niou's voice trailed off as Jackal and Marui got farther away from his house.
They stopped in front of Marui's house and entered once again. The resumed their places at Marui's room and continued their talk.
"So...We might be the only ones who read the letter." Marui said.
"Moreover, you might be the only one who received the mail." Jackal clearly stated, emphasizing 'you'.
"You might be right. But I don't want to die, Jackal! I still have dreams to pursue!" Marui shouted.
"I know, Marui. I have dreams, too. I don't want to die as well. We aren't sure if we will die." Jackal calmly said.
"So all we can do is enjoy life and wait. After that, it will all end."
