Kiro: So now we can finally start the games!
Ookami: At least you're not a total screw up like Ryoshi…
Elsword: I'm going to donate you a heart.
Ryoshi: It's ok as long as I can protect her-
Ookami: Wow talks much? Onto the chapter!
Rena: After that I'm going to have a word with everyone. *Death glare*
Otsuu: I agree.
Chapter 2: First game
As they sat in lounge to the bank it was an eerie silence. As if someone here had just murdered someone dear to someone else here. Ryoko sat on the couch with one leg up and her back to Ryoshi who sat properly at the other end. Ringo stood next to Otsu by the food cart in the corner of the room. Alice and the president sat at their desks.
Taro Urashima, and Otohime Ryugu entered through the doors, more relaxed then everyone else. Taro had flirt to his heart's desire earlier and getting what he always gets in return from Otohime. So right now they're just strolling around completely bored. These are the other two members of the club who have no idea what everyone else is going though.
"What's with the funky bracelets?" Taro asked while looking at Otsu.
"We have to wear them for these evil matches were in." Ringo chimed.
"Have fun and be safe!" Otohime chimed back not taking in what was said.
"I swear…" Ryoko began to growl but decided to mumble the rest.
The president smiled at his companions it was nice to see they still had some life left in them. Everyone began to chat away and interact like they would any other day. Then the president was sent a text from a blocked number. Instead of reading it he handed it to Alice.
"It's the set up for the first match-"
"Can we come?" Otohime asked she was sitting on Taro's lap. Liszt just shook his head "no" sweetly.
"Eh hem, as I was saying the match will be held at six tonight-"
"Will it be chilly? Should I bring blankets?" Otsu began to worry. Liszt shook his head "no" sweetly to her like he did before.
"So from what the text implies-"
"How did they get my number?" Liszt said smiling up at Alice from his chair. She turned red so he looked at the rest of the members. They shook their heads sweetly like he did before.
"It's a free for all. Everyone will be set up at different parts of the city." Alice finally was able to finish saying.
Everyone began to feel that worrying feeling return as they began to think over what she had said. They would have to fight each other which seem to be the unthinkable. Majolika, the mad scientist, appeared and then went back to her lab. Her cheery mood couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere. They didn't notice that Taro and Otohime had already left. It was just the participants of the fight left.
They continued life absent mindedly until six o' clock. Ryoshi, Ryoko, and Ringo places are in the western side of their school's territory. Alice and Otsu places are deep in the southern side of another school's territory. The president's place is unknown even to Alice…
"Ringo your small and swift use that to you advantage. Ryoshi luckily for you it's at night use the darkness to win the upper hand." Ryoko said looking both of them sternly in the eyes.
"What will you do Ryoko?" Ryoshi asked totally worried over her.
"Survive like I always do." Ryoko replied hesitantly while looking at the ground.
It was almost as if something broke inside of Ryoko as she uttered her reply to Ryoshi. It's true ever since that regretful day she has survived the only way she could. Fighting the lies, the pain, stress, and everything else the world had threw at her because of him. Maybe that's why she strives to be who she is, because she never wants to be like that ever again, so powerless so helpless.
Snapping Ryoko out her daze a water droplet dripped in front of her face. As it hit her nose slightly the liquid was just what she needed. Ryoko's place to fight was under a bridge. The same bridge she saved that kid at. Ryoko smirked as she finally noticed her opponent Ichiro Nakata. She had already beaten him up twice. Her first fight with him was when Ryoshi first helped her.
At the same time Ringo was looking at her opponent. A short girl who looked liked Mimi Usami. Except her hair was scarlet red, just like Ringo. The other female's eyes were hidden behind tinted glasses. The girl also had a weird stance she was bent over with her arms out. As if she was an old lady trying to hug someone.
Ryoshi had gotten lost. That's our loveable screw up for you! Ryoshi was insulting himself as he walked trying to find his spot. Little did he know that this is not a screw up. In fact this is all staged by his opponent. Talk about a sore loser! His opponent is the older brother to Ringo's opponent, just saying cause that's gonna be important later.
Alice's opponent seemed to have the same character traits that Alice has. They both took their heels off and placed them properly near the edge of the stage. These two are the only ones who are actually fighting on a stage. The blonde announcer is also present but just observing from afar. As the bell sounded Alice whipped out a pen and began to survive...
Otsu opponent is a dirty pervert so it's no surprise she won. As the pervert turned around he noticed Otsu's…features and began to drool. Also to Otsu advantage they were fighting near a cleaning store. When the bell ringed the boy chased her like a demented ragdoll! Otsu ran to the cleaning store, grabbed a broom and started smacking!
As Ryoko was about to finish off her opponent he ran like the punk he is! The bell was sounded again as Ryoko turned her head repeatedly. It was odd because she could have sworn someone else was there with intent to harm her. The security to the Oni games came out and got in their cars. They drove away in accord allowing her to leave.
Ryoko's not the type to shrug off a feeling like this. As she walked to Ringo's fight she kept her guard up. Everyone knows that this "game" isn't sane nor fair but just how unfair is it? What happens to losers? Ryoko began to get flustered by her very own thoughts. She marched off not noticing the presence is back…
Ringo jogged backwards as the other girl knife cut her shirt a bit. Ringo went left then right as the girl swung her dual knives. Ringo tripped and fell knocking her basket out of her hand and landing on her butt. The other girl let out a fury of slashes at Ringo's chest. Ringo threw her arms up but that only resulted in multiply gashes on her arms.
Then the bell was sounded for the first matches of the oni games were now over. Alice was not able to beat her opponent so she would suffer the cost. Ringo match ended in a draw and will be continued later. Ryoshi was able to hunt down his opponent and win the match. Everyone returned home safely for now…all except Alice and the president that is…
