And this is a new fic I decided to have all the Elemental Hazards and Max in mind about a game Max invented that pretty much exposes or opens all the hidden secrets about the Hazards. This is for SpiritualLoneWolfXIII and I hope you like!
How Do We Know...?

Chapter 1: Start of the Game
It was a rainy day at the Jade Palace and on one of the barracks, we see the Hazards and Max sitting around, feeling completely bored and most of them were asleep, including Hope. Hope was sleeping out of boredom and he slumped his body towards Kaizer's shoulder and started snoring really loudly and that really didn't sit well with Kaizer as he had to endure not only his snoring, but getting drool dripped as one drip of drool went onto Kaizer's shoulder and that was enough for him to push him off, but it wasn't enough to have his bear claws around him.
"Faith? You have the most delicate arms..." Hope said, sleepily.
Kaizer noticed that Hope was rubbing Kaizer's arms, thinking it was Faith and he was pretty much embarrassed by this and he looked at Faith and he saw that she was stifling her laughter after witnessing this and Kaizer whispered, "Are you actually enjoying this?"
"It's so cute." Faith said, holding it in.
"Fay..." Hope whispered, grabbing ahold of Kaizer and then licking his cheek.
Kaizer froze for a second and realized that that just happened and he lets out a very stern growl and just punched him straight to the nose, which was enough to wake him up and got back to his senses and just shook himself up and said, "What? What is it? What's going on?"
Then, he turned around and saw a very ticked off Kaizer right in his face and Hope asked, "What's up, Kai?"
"What's up? If you're gonna dream-snuggle, do not refer to me as Faith. At least do it to the real Faith." Kaizer said, with a hint of warning.
Hope was a little confused by what he meant by that, but Faith immediately whispered to his ear and explained everything that just occured and it made Hope really embarrassed to hear that and he turned to Kaizer and he said, "Sorry about that, dude."
Takami lets out a big sigh and he said, "Man, I'm so bored right now."
"You're telling me. It's been raining for a straight week now and barely any crime has been made. I need to do something before I lose my head." Ryo said, in hint of frustration.
"You know, you could do what I do when it's a rainy day. Take a nap and when the sun comes out, we can come out and play." Kiba stated.
Ryo looked at Kiba straight in the eye like a very disgruntled look on his face and said, "What are you, five years old?"
"So? I'm almost 18 and I still take a nap like a little puppy. Can you judge me?" asked Kiba, in defense.
"Most 18 year olds don't take naps like a little puppy and suck their thumbs." Ryo replied, with a snarl.
"But you do talk in your sleep a lot." Kiba pointed out.
Max sighed heavily and he decided to stop until things go a little crazy and he walked towards both of them and he said, "You guys mind spreading your legs for me, please?"
The minute Ryo heard what Max had said simplified the fact that he might kick both him and Kiba in the groin and Ryo said, "Don't even think it, Max."
Skyler groaned in response to that ebcause she likes it when Max kicks Ryo in the privates whenever he does or says something stupid and she said, "I love seeing Ryo get kicked in the junk by you, Max."
"Watch it, Sky...otherwise I might snatch your underwear and wear it to sleep again." Ryo said, with a smirk.
Skyler growled at this and she was ready to kick him straight to the teeth if that ever occurs and said, "You do that and it'll be the last memory you'll have of my personal belongings."
"Guys, can we please settle down and do something to keep us occupied? I know it's raining, but we're gonna drive each other crazy." Max said.
"You don't have training at MMA today?" asked Faith.
"No. We get a week off because of the storm." Max replied.
Tamaki comes over alongside Chronos and sat down on the ground with everyone else and Tamaki asked, "So...what are we doing?"
"Playing mediator to keep the boredom level down." Ryo replied.
Tamaki seemed pretty confused in response to Ryo's answer and Max said, "We're trying to find something to do to keep ourselves entertained because of the rain."
"Why don't we let Max decide?" asked Faith.
Soon enough, Max was excited to have an idea of his own to help keep their interest in mind and he said, "I got a new idea for a game. No winners or losers. This is a game that I play with my brothers and sisters called 'What's Your Secret'?"
"How do you play that?" asked Kiba, looking interested.
"For this game, we each write down a couple of secrets about each other that the other person doesn't know; whether if it's interesting, weird or embarrassing. It varies on whether you did something terrible, weird, unusual or something that no one really knows about. Like your fears, favorite passion, things you did when you were a kid, personal secrets..." Max said, letting out a sly giggle at the ending part.
Once the words 'personal secrets' slipped out of Max's mouth, most of them could tell that this is another one of Max's games where some of them end up get embarrassed by all the stuff no one even knows about and Takami said, "Can we skip personal secrets?"
"Can't do that. You have to place most of those on a list and they give it to me and we all gather around in a circle and I read what this person or that person wrote and after that, someone raises their paw on who wrote it and we all talk about it." Max answered.
"Do we have to write the list in this room?" asked Faith, nervously.
"Nope. Everyone heads to their own room and write them down. If you need more time, that's understandable. I've got a couple of scrolls with me here and everyone gets their scroll and something to write with. For today's game, the category is embarrassing secrets, things you did as a kid and your fears." Max replied, bringing in the scrolls.
Before long, everyone got their scrolls and went straight to their rooms to write down what's stated in those categories and some of them were very reluctant to write about the embarrassing secrets they had individually because some of them would be kept to themselves, but when it comes to one of Max's games, how can they turn it down? So they were willing to go for it in order to get another better understanding about each other.
What do you think so far? Stay tuned for all the fun! Hazards, weigh in please!
