Chapter 1

Rin pov

Luka, Len, Gackupo, and I just let ourselves into Miku's home since it was unlocked and we do that all the time. So, hey, whatever.

We headed into the kitchen and sat down in the chairs around the table. Yuki sat directly across me from the table and laughed like a drunk duck, but I pretended everything was normal. Beside her was Miki, with her salmon coloured hair…I think…or is it cherry-coloured? I dunno. Next to her was Haku. She's chugging some soda since Miku wouldn't let her drink any alcohol in here. If I think I'm correct, Haku is Miku's cousin, yet they look nothing alike –Miku with her teal hair and Haku with her white hair.

Gumi has her DS with her, playing…something. She was yelling at Meiko for her own reasons. I'm supposing that she just lost a PvP match and Meiko was the closest person so, sucks to be Meiko.

"Ya know what would really help?" Meiko asked Gumi.

"What?" Gumi replied, calming down a bit.

"Sake," Meiko said, higher-pitched than usual, holding up a bottle of Sake so Gumi could see.

Neighbouring Meiko was Lily. She's…well…napping with an unfolded newspaper over her face. I had no idea Lily read newspapers, she's not that old.

And then there's our hippie-resembling friend, Gackupo, who almost 24/7 stalks my homie, Luka. He's…kind of…how should I put this?...Creepy. He watches Luka's every move whenever she's around. I have no idea how she feels, but I'm sorry for her.

Luka is, like, staring holes into her book, just trying to read. Suddenly, she slammed her book shut and turned over to Gumi.

"HEY! Gumi! Ma FRAN! How's the PvP tournament? How many people's asses did you pwn today?" Luka blurt, trying to spark a conversation with Gumi. Miku is supposed to sit between me and Luka, but she's gone off somewhere. I wonder where she went.

I turned to my left and I burst out laughing.

"Eat the ice cream or I steal your soul and sell it to fuzzy hobos on the street," Kaito threatened in a voice I'm assuming is supposed to be scary.

"Holy crap! No! It's cold! And it's freaking WINTER right now!"

"And your bananas!" Len made this hesitant thinking face. Kaito paused to eat some of his ice cream.

"And that's my cue!" Len yelled as he ran away from the ice cream loving freak that I supposedly call my friend, well he's Len's friend. But how are they even friends? Len is the shota of my buddies. I don't call him that out loud because he hates that nickname and he really flips a table when he's called that. Kaito chased Len all over Miku's house. I laughed the whole way through. It's strange how Len and I look alike –we both have blue eyes (but Len's are slightly darker), we both have blond hair (it's also the same length), we share a birthday, and we have the same last name. Isn't that weird? We could pretty much be twins.

Kaito finally gave up chasing Len and sat down in his own seat. Len came panting back to his seat moments later.

"I…told…you…that…youwouldn't…get…my…bananas." Len said to Kaito, in between pants. I laughed quietly.

Yuki had finished setting up the game, but we were waiting for Miku. Finally, a certain tealette came through the door.

"Finally. What were you waiting for, Miku, the world to end?" I asked.

"Me and Mikuo had a meeting," She replied, simply.

"About what?" I probably shouldn't have asked, their convos are either always about leeks and they go on forever.

"He said he and his girlfriend were going to visit her aunt in the country side for about a week or so, so I'll have to stalk the house for a week or so." She said smiling.

"Um… Cool?" I had no idea what she had to be happy about. Maybe she can finally play some of those really violent video games she's been stashing away. A little creepy, but they're interesting.

"Okay! Let's start!" Yuki cried, standing on her seat. And there goes the spaz bomb.

"So, how do we play, Yuki-chan?" Miki asked.

"Okay, so, um. You roll this dice." She says, grabbing the dice off the table and holding it up. Everyone listened, there isn't anything else to do. "Then you move your figurine forward by the number you roll." We each took a figurine. I'm surprised there were enough. I got the orange figurine, Len got the yellow one, Kaito got the blue one, Yuki got the black one, Miki got the cherry colored one, Haku got the white one, Gumi got the green one, Meiko got the red one, Lily got a darker shade of yellow figurine, Gakupo got the purple one, Luka got the pink one, and Miku got the teal colored one.

"Okay, now, after you rolled, I'll tell you what happens since I've played this game before." Yuki said, "Now let's play!" We all set our figurines on the board's start box thing. Just for a split second there, just a split second! I felt as if time stopped.

"So…who's going first?" I ask. I had no clue where to start; we could do oldest to youngest, or vice versa. Oh god, I can't even list them all.

"We'll start with you, Lily-chan. Then you'll pass the dice to Rin-chan." Yuki instructed. Man, she can have such an attitude at times. Lily took the dice without second thoughts. She clasped the dice in her two hands and shook the hell out of the dice. She unclasped her hands and the dice went flying across the board and onto the edge of the table. The single red dot landed face up on the table. Lily got a one. I looked at her. She bit her bottom lip. Poor Lily, she got a one. She reached for her golden colored figurine and moved it one square forward. Lily's body figure instantly straightened and she started acting weird.

"Sorry, Lily. You got a one." Gumi said, trying to cheer Lily up. Lily grunted and looked at the wall behind Miki and Yuki.

"Whatever. Everything is sooo boring! I'm bored!" Lily whined.

"But…we just started this game," Len noted.

"I don't care if we just started it or not! I'm goddamn bored! Someone shit their pants already!" Lily was spazzing out. She's never acted so sassy before, I wonder if the game did something to Lily. Nope, I'm just imagining things. "It's okay. She'll be fine. Let's continue playing." Yuki said cheerfully, "Lily-oneechan, can you hand the dice to Rin-oneechan?" Lily grunted and tossed me the dice. I barely caught it. I shook the dice in my palms and crossed my fingers, hoping that I'd get a big number. Nope. I got a damn two. The two black dots stared up at the ceiling and they looked like they were taunting me to crush it. That stupid face looks like it was snickering at me…why that little! I looked at it in disgust. "Rin-oneechan, could you pass the dice to Gakupo-kun when you're done?" Yuki said. I nodded and I used one hand to move my orange figurine, the other handed the friggin' dice to Gakupo. I moved my orange figurine a square in front of Lily's. Just as the figurine landed, an electric current ran through me and I felt like my body had a mind of its own. I grabbed a random baseball bat and smashed one of the many windows in Miku's house. Holy crap! I totally didn't mean to do that.

"What the frig, Rin! I invite you over and you repay me by smashing my window?" Miku rages.

"It's your own fault for not having oranges." I said. That's not…I…what the heck is going on?! "Peace out, suckers." Right when I was about to jump out the window, Miku head-locked me and dragged me back to the table.

"Like, hell no, you are going to freaking play this lame-ass game with us and you will pay me back for the window!" Miku orders. I rubbed my neck since Miku kinda crushed my wind pipes for a couple moments there.

"Whatever, you old hag~" I said in a sing-songy voice. What the…? What is going on with me? I had no intentions of calling Miku an old hag. But, seriously, what is going on?!

Gackupo rolled.

i know I already posted the original version, but I thought it was really weird so I re-typed it. I hope you guys liked reading the new version.
