(Yuma's POV)
Damn it, Akari... I can't just walk around in public in my pyjamas just to get you one godforsaken scoop. What's worse, I'm all alone!
If only I cou- *whack*
Beep
Beep
Beep
That is all I hear as I woke up. I found myself lying on the floor, in a room full of explosives, ticking away, waiting to explode. I was wondering 'Where am I? How did I get here?'. Then I remember that I was told by Akari to go out in my embarrassing pyjamas to get her an interesting scoop.
Suddenly, I heard a voice. "Hello, Yuma. Let's play a game." Kaito? It's definitely not Shark, since it sounds like it belongs to a young boy. Maybe it's his little bro? I got up and yelled at the ceiling, "What is going on?! Tell me!". "Oh you'll see." the voice snickered.
Astral appeared beside me. "Yuma, I don't know what is going on, but you should get ready." "I don't know what you have in store for me, you crazy loon, but I'm ready to kattobing it!" I screamed upwards.
A few moments passed, then the voice came in again. "Since you said that. I'll tell you." Finally. "You are trapped in a room full of explosives. It will detonate anytime." "WHAT?!" I must be dreaming. I must be dreaming. Suddenly, a box fell through a hole in the ceiling and into my hands. I opened it and it revealed... a round, plump, tomato. "The only way to get out of this room is by eating an entire tomato. You will have to eat it in 5 bites or less. The best part? I will not provide you water to wash down the taste." Oh you got to be kidding me.
Eat an entire tomato. In less than 5 bites. And no water to get rid of the taste. And I thought Akari was horrible.
"You only have 3 minutes. Good luck." The voice sarcastically cheered me. "I think this is your own battle." Astral said before he went back into the Ou's Key. Great. It's either I die and Akari wouldn't bother me but my parents would be devastated or I eat this thing I hate and live on.
Ah well. I'll just eat this damn thing and get it over already. I picked up the fruit and slowly brought it close to my mouth. I pinched my nose, letting the box fall on the floor, bite out one huge chunk and swallowed it whole. I bit out nearly half of the food. I let go of my nose to breath in a little. 'One' I tally in my mind.. I did the process again, pinching my nose and swallowing the thing whole. I let go of my nose to breath in huge gulps of air. "Let me out already!" I yelled. "Impressive. I'll set you free." Suddenly, the walls faded into white and I found myself in a room. "That was the greatest thing you have ever done, Hart!" Kaito?! "In return, what do you want?" he asked his little bro, with a smile on his face. Not the masochistic smile, but a brotherly love-type of smile. "The screams of the citizens of the Astral World." Hart said with a tone that sounded like forced happiness. "Hart..." Kaito was shocked.
"...And next time, don't make me drink Nyquil and Red Bull and eat 2 cups of Red Demon's Noodles in one night." Ryoga glared at Yuma.

How's that for a twist ending? ;D
