For now will follow the story, not of those extremely hot KuroBasu guys nor of our infamous heroine, Furusawa Shiriru, but of a seemingly very ordinary lollipop. Of course, those guys will have to take part as well on our story but much to the disappointment of our dear readers (I know), our round-headed hero will take the spotlight. But do not be disheartened! Fear not! His story nevertheless was designed to keep us all entertained.

Yes, it was one of those lollies that we often see in the hands of the greedy; may it be models for picture books, weird idols or spoiled rotten kids. Needless to say, it was a lollipop of such beauty that people desire for it. They crave for it with drooling mouths and take it hungrily by eager hands. And for that, this certain lollipop swells with pride that he was born of such high caliber. He believed himself beautiful. More beautiful than any other saccharine entity out there, anyway.

A story without a name.

It is only proper that our lead character gets a name. It would be quite hard to tell a story without mentioning his name and so we will settle on the name: RoRi.

Why you say? Carry on and you will know further into the story.

Now RoRi, just as I stated earlier was a very ordinary lollipop. He was one of many. And his life began on the mixing machine. Needless to say, he was a lollipop like any other. And as he was delivered to the candy store with his identical brothers and sisters, he quickly caught on the fact that his family was pretty famous. His brothers and sisters only lasted a forthnight. And that unbelievably got into his head.

As fate has dictated, out of the entire lollipop in that store, RoRi was the only one left. Not that he was bothered by that, mind you. On the contrary, he was very proud of that, seemingly because he thought himself special and thus it got in his mind that a lollipop as great as him will only fall in the hands of a God.

And God it is.

A young girl was looking at him curiously and although RoRi misinterpreted it as a display of worship, the idea wasn't very far from it itself. She kept on staring at him with those huge black orbs of hers and that got our lollipop very uneasy for some reason.

"Oi! Hurry up and pick me up, will you!" RoRi almost half-shouted. "I know you want me so get on with it." But then he remembered his thoughts earlier, that he was deserved to be eaten only by a God. And the girl in front of her was no God, even a lollipop like him can tell.

She was wearing baggy clothes too big for her, and her hair ran in disheveled curls. The girl in front of him was small. And no God is small. Or at least that's what RoRi thinks.

We don't know how a lollipop like RoRi can have his own image of God, but pointless to say, Furusawa Shiriru is not an ideal candidate for a human worthy of his succulent taste.

But no matter how beautiful or self-arrogant our protagonist is, he has no means of a skirmish when Shiriru decided to take ahold of him but just then…

God came.

It came to be known that a certain purple-haired giant got ahold of RoRi faster than the girl.

But no! RoRi was much too beautiful for one of them to lose and so, the girl and the giant both got ahold of it and exclaimed, "MINE!"

"Oyaaa… I saw it first, Murasakibara-san." RoRi saw the small girl said in a determined stare.

"Doesn't mean you'll get it.",the giant with the heavy eyelids retorted, apparently shooting daggers with his glares. But the smaller one doesn't look like she'll back down either.

"Mou… get other sweets from the shelf, Murasakibara-san!" the child quite shouted, all the while pulling and tugging at RoRi, too big for her small hands.

"Ia. I refuse."the huge male putted bluntly. "This is –"

"MINE!", they both exclaimed.

The little girl proceeded on pulling RoRi away from the giant's hands. And Murasakibara Atsushi just stood there like a display on a shop because he was too lazy to either do something and it was on his mind that sooner or later the girl will probably get tired. Well…. turns out

He was underestimating his opponent.

RoRi was now in the midst of a fierce battle between his god and his human. He was being fought over and nothing could have made our lead any happier. Until –

Crack.

A deafening sound can be heard and both the God and the human froze.

"Oyaa… I think RoRi is about to die…." Shiriru muttered under her breath.

RoRi came out of the candy store in a pretty colorful wrapper.

Held by two hands.

A huge one and a small one.

RoRi was quite thinking to himself, "Is this what happens to my brothers and sisters?" He was musing about what happened earlier in the store. It was too close a call. He almost broke. "I guess this is what the life of the famous is, huh?"If RoRi can shake his head, we would have seen him do it.

Yes. Our hero couldn't be more arrogant.

More importantly, he was considering on who will be his lucky recipient.

"….. Hmm… do you think it broke?" Murasakibara inquired quite lazily to the girl beside him. "I don't wanna eat a lollipop without the stick ~."

"Oyaa… then you should just give me RoRi then." the girl stated frankly.

"Hmm…?" the towering man raised an eyebrows. "RoRi?"

"RoRi." The girl looked at him like it was an obvious matter. But the brute didn't quite get it.

In Murasakibara's defense, who would?

"Oyaa… The one you're holding. Ro - Ri." she repeated.

"Ahh…" he said like it suddenly dawned on him. "You mean this?" he lifted the lollipop and up came the girl holding it, in which at some point, she said, "Ah."

"You…." He drawled on in a sort of sluggish tone. "… are really weird."

"Ehh… I can say the same to you."

"I don't give lollipops weird names."

The two carried on as if this was a NORMAL, healthy conversation. And because RoRi, our lollipop was quite impatient and frankly irritated at this point, in which he shouted, "God damn it! Just when are you going to eat me?!"

And to our surprise, the two quite heard it. The two, to RoRi's surprise was nonchalantly calm about this.

"Ahh… it spoke…"

"Ahhh…. RoRi spoke."

The two said in a surprisingly non-perplexed way.

"O-Oi! Aren't you shocked that a lollipop like me can speak?!" RoRi sputtered.

"Ehh… what do you mean?" Shiriru said in a very cute voice "RoRi's spoke all the time."

"I don't care…" said a certain male looking up at the sky.

These two! They're the strangest! Not only was I surprised that I spoke, I also can't believe it as well! But these two… they're treating it like I'm such a normal sight for them…. They truly are….

He looked at the two beings holding him and thought.

They're GOD! And an awesome capscreen comes with Murasakibara's purple hair all in a mess from the wind looking all cool. Then Shiriru. Imagine it however you want.

"So… ahem.", he coughed. "I know you two would very much want to eat me right now. And dear me, I can relate to that, I mean who wouldn't fight over such a delectable dish as I am. I know your mouths are watering and you can't resist to bite and suck into the sugary icon, that is me." RoRi finished off with a laugh.

And the two of them looked at RoRi, with blank expression on their faces. Equally pissed off? We do not know.

"Ia. Ia. I'm not in a hurry." Shiriru deliberately said.

"Hmmm… I think I want some ice instead." Murasakibara stared stiffly into the opposite direction. "Hmm… you…" he said while pointing at Shiriru. "Wanna come?"

"Ahh… sure…" Shiriru nodded.

They took RoRi with them to the nearest convenience store.

"Ou Ow mi" the purple-haired giant uttered with an ice cream stick stuck on his mouth.

"Un." the girl nodded. "Yosen Center, Murasakibara Atsushi." Shiriru replied. How the girl manage to catch that formless grunt, RoRi the lollipop doesn't quite know.

"Hmm..." the purple eyes locked on the girl walking beside him, "Ow?"

"Seirin." And with that the girl and the man came to an understanding.

"Yar eym?" the purple giant ventured while proceeding to make slow sloppy sounds from his popsicle.

" Furusawa Shiriru."

"Das ard... en tu long..." his half-lidded eyes moved up as if the task of knowing a name is too hard for him.

"Oyaa!" Shiriru craned her neck to look at the colossus beside her, irked for some reason that her name was treated as such.

"Jaa… I'll call you…" Atsushi finally said after popping the ice cream out of his mouth. "Ruri~"

"Ehhh… RuRi?"

"Because you're alike like RoRi." Now it's RoRi's turn to be appalled! No way in the name of heaven will he be compared to a mere little human such as she. No. He was too great for that.

"W-wait . ! How am I -? " RoRi cut short but it seems the two have no intention to listen to him for that matter.

"Ruri-chin~" Atsushi played the words on his lips, liking the sound of his thought-up name.

"Mou... I'm not a lollipop like RoRi, Murasakibara-kun.." Shiriu retorted in her own bored voice.

"Hmm.. hmmm..." the giant smirked, "But you look so swee~eet..." he put his large hand on Shiriru's head and ominously whispered, "Makes me want to eat you all up...~"

The girl didn't flinch.

"Kidding.~" he ruffled her hair.

"That made me think..." Shiriru suddenly exclaimed. "Ahhh~ I want to eat RoRi.."

RoRi gulped.

"Hmmm... Ruri-chin~" the giant lazily drawled. "I want to eat RoRi, too."

"Oyaa, Murasakibara-kun. We can share if you want." Shiriru offered.

"But Ruri-chin~ I don't share." the man stated.

"Hmmm... " that got the girl to think.

"Fight for me!" RoRi proposed. "Whoever wins, gets to eat me!"

"Ehhh... that would be stupid." both of them remarked.

"And we're not stupid." they said.

"And we're not a child." they added.

RoRi sweatdrop.

"Nee... Atsushi." Shiriru stared at the huge male sitting beside her. "Why do you eat sweets?"

"Hmm... because I want to?" Atsushi put a finger on his chin and looked up, apparently deep in thought. It seems that this is the first time he contemplated a question such as this.

"Aahh.. I see." Shiriru smiled. "That's a good reason."

"How about you RuRi-chin? Why do you eat 'em?" the giant looked at her.

"Aaahh... Let's see." Shiriru cocked her head on one side pausing for a bit as if thinking then added. "I eat them 'cause it makes me happy~" she affirmed. "Don't you do things because it makes you happy, Atsushi?" she inquired, lifting her toes up and stretching them.

"Ia." he stated bluntly. "I do basketball because I'm talented."

The girl beside him bursts into laughter.. "Ha-ha...! I see...!"

"Oi.. Is Ruri-chin making fun of me... ?" he poked her, making the girl almost lose her balance.

"Sorry. Sorry... " she said with tears in her eyes. "I just can't help myself."

"Stop it Ruri-chin... or I'll get angry, you know?" Murasakibara almost pouted.

"That's because..." she smiled at him. "We were talking about sweets! How did basketball came into it?"

"..."

"Don't tell me..." she poked his cheeks as if taunting him. "That basketball was the first thing you thought about?"

"Basketball doesn't make me happy, Ruri-chin."

"I've never said it makes you happy." Shiriru pulled off one of her brightest grins.

"..."

An unexpected hush fell. And after some time, the giant spoke up.

"I hate you Ruri-chin."

"That's okay, Atsushi. I don't like you either."

She hummed a tune.

... "Jaa.. Let's eat RoRi. I'll take half." he said while breaking RoRi into two.

"Here." he put a half-RoRi forcefully into Shiriru's mouth...

"Aaahh..RoRi is quiet..." she said while sucking into him.

"Hmmm... ?" "I broke him. Maybe he died..."

"Maybe he died." she confirmed.
