Hey ho! Here's the second chappie, hope you enjoy it! *fist pump*

Oh, and I just realized something-I forgot to mention the charas in the first chapter. SORRY, CHARAS! I will mention you guys in this chapter, promise!

And, just to let you know, this is mainly a Rimahiko fic, although there will be lots of Amuto, Kutau, and Yairi. AND NO TADAMU! :D But I'm planning on pairing Tadase with somebody else. Or should I say something else.. *smirks Ikuto style*

I would also like to thank xXxTsukiyomi AmuletxXx, since she was the first one to review Chapter 1! Thanks!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I still do not own Shugo Chara. Or Running Man.

P.S: I'm not in a writing mood now, so this chapter will suck a little. Sorry. Things will get more exciting in the next chapter.

Previously in the first chapter...

Are you guys brave enough to accept this challenge? It isn't dangerous, of course, it will be extremely fun, but you guys will be stuck in a building for two weeks, not to mention the punishment after that. But the prize will be awesome, promise!

I hope to expect your arrival soon.

Sincerely,

Tokiwa Daikichi.

The group (except Rima, with her cool and blunt attitude) stared at the letter in disbelief, their jaws literally on the floor.

This was not what they had expected.

Sure, they had received weird letters before. Confessions, invitations to parties from people they didn't even know, letters asking things like "Who does Hinamori Amu love?" or "Is Rima dating Nagi?" (Which caused Rima to barf). Someone had even dared to ask "Is Tadase really gay?" (Me: Sorry. Couldn't resist to write that, lol). But none of the letters had been as weird as this one.

They sat in silence, staring at the letter as if it had suddenly grown two heads. Yaya was the first to recover, and she started wailing. "Awww.. But that has nothing to do with candy!" Then everyone started talking at once.

"WHAT. THE. CRAP. A competition?! For two weeks?! Trapped?!"

"Woah, I did not expect this..."

"Well, Yaya thinks we should accept! Maybe the prize will be candy!"

"I don't know, Yaya.."

"Aww, come one Amu~chii! It'll be fun!"

"Yaya chan is right. We should try it."

"No comment." That was Rima, of course.

The charas (Me: Yay! I finally mentioned them!) were talking excitedly too. They started saying things like "Hooray! An adventure!" and "This is so cool!".

But before anyone could continue, Tadase banged his fist on the table. "Guys, listen up!"

Everyone became quiet. Tadase started talking, taking the lead, as usual. "This competition sounds fun, but I don't think we should accept. We'd be alone in a building for two weeks, with no parents watching us. It could be someone trying to trick us, and maybe they'll even do kidnapping. We've even never heard of this 'Tokiwa Daikichi' guy before..."

There were cries of protest at this. Rhythm, Nagihiko's chara, said "Hey, that's not cool, man!"

"Aww, Tadase kun!" whined Yaya. "Let's try it! Besides, he said he knew Tsukasa, remember? So it'll be safe!"

"But, Yuiki san-"

"Let's just accept, Hotori kun." said Nagihiko. "It could be fun."

"Well, let's see what the others think first." Tadase said uncertainly. Ran, Amu's chara, mumbled "Joykill.", which fortunately Tadase didn't hear. "What do you think, Hinamori san?"

"Uhh.." mumbled Amu, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "I think we should try it. It'll get us out of school, anyway."

"Hey, Amu~chii's right!" exclaimed Yaya. "That means no homework for two weeks! And no guardian duty!"

"How dare you, commoner!" raged Kiseki, Tadase's bossy chara, in his usual Kingly manner. "We have to do our duties as guardians, and-"

"Oh, shut it, Kiseki." interrupted Ran, recieving a glare from Kiseki.

"Anyway, Mashiro san, what about you?" asked Tadase.

"If Amu's going, than so am I." Rima said bluntly, sipping her tea.

"Oh, all right then." sighed Tadase. "We're going."

"YAY!" squealed Yaya. "An adventure!"

Tadase smiled. "Right. So who else are we going to ask to come with us? The letter that we could bring friends."

Yaya immediately shouted "KAIRI! LET KAIRI COME!" She said it so enthusiastically that a few people raised their eyebrows.

Rima smirked. "Kairi? My, my, Yaya, you can't bear the thought of being seperated from your boyfriend for two weeks, can't you?"

Yaya's face turned a deep red. "N-no!" she stuttered. "Y-Yaya doesn't like K-Kairi! Yaya just thought it would be nice for Kairi if we i-invited him. He used to be one of the g-guardians, right?"

"Kukai!" said Amu. "He used to be one of the guardians too. And what about Utau?" Then she blushed as she added quietly "And Ikuto." Tadase looked a little reluctant, but he nodded. Even though he had made things up with his brother, he still didn't like the fact he was very close with Amu. Too close for his comfort, in fact.

"So that's me, Hotori kun, Rima chan, Yaya chan, Amu chan, Utau chan, Tsukiyomi kun, Souma kun, and Sanjou kun?" wondered Nagihiko. "Wow, that's 8 people altogether."

A/N: Sorry. Just wanted to say that since Nagihiko is all polite and what not, I'm not sure what honorific he uses to call evryone. So I'm just going to guess, okay? Right, back to the story!

"It's a shame that Nadeshiko can't join, though." Amu sighed, and Nagihiko sweat dropped a little, laughing nervously.

"Ahhh! Yaya can't wait!" squealed Yaya. "This is going to be so much fun!"

So that's how they all ended up waiting in the school parking lot on that particular competition day, clutching their suit cases and talking excitedly.

Rima's POV

I silently grumbled as I listened to the others rambling about 'how cool this competition would be' and how 'the prize would be freakin' awesome.'.

I didn't even want to join in the first place. This was crazy! I hate going to random places without my parents. And I hate competitions, since they mostly involve sports, which I suck at. I always lose, and then everyone will make fun of me. Ugh. I just pretended I wanted to join. Why? So I could keep an eye on Amu and my arch enemy, Fujisaki Nagihiko.

There are a lot of reasons why I should hate Nagihiko. First of all, although I would never admit this to Amu, I'm really jealous of her friendship with 'Nadeshiko'. Wait, scratch that, even as Nagihiko, he was still pretty close to her. I'm 100 % sure he's doing this on purpose, to annoy me! And them going to a competition for two weeks without me being there would just bring them both closer. Stupid purple head crossdresser. I hate his stupid perfect smile, stupid perfect attitude, and stupid perfect hair. I hate perfect. I hate the fact that he's always tring to be 'friends' with me. Uh, no thanks. I shivered. Nagihiko. Even only thinking his name sent shivers down my spine. I sent a glare in his direction, which, unfortunately, he didn't notice.

Too busy thinking about how to destroy Nagihiko, I didn't even realize Amu and Yaya trying to catch my attention.

"Rima tann!" whined Yaya, and I quickly snapped back to attention.

"Y-yes?" I said brightly (fake).

"Gosh, Rima tan, you daydream too much." laughed Yaya. "Yaya was just asking if Rima tan is excited about this. It's going to be so much fun, no learning, but instead playing crazy games! Yaya can't wait!"

"Uh, yeah! Me too!" I said, forcing myself to smile. Ugh. At least this will get me out of school.

"Isn't this cool, Rima?" giggled KusuKusu, my chara. "I'm so excited!" She did cartwheels in the air, and I laughed at her. It's hard to get in a grumpy mood with KusuKusu around.

"Whatever. I'm just going because Ikuto's going too." commented Utau, rolling her eyes. BTW, Utau, the Ikuto dude, Kukai, and Kairi were also here. Kukai, because he thought the competition would be fun and adventurous, Kairi, because he wanted to, um, 'collect data' about this competition thingy, and Ikuto, well, wherever Amu goes, he goes too.

Just then, a black car pulled into the drive way, and the others started chatting excitedly again.

A tall man with brown hair jumped out of the car. He looked healthy, like he exercised every day. His eyes had a mischievous glint in them, and he looked like the easy going, fun, adventurous type. He kind of looked like a future Kukai. That was probably the reason why he had come up with this crazy competition in the first place. He grinned at us. "Hey, kids, charas! I'm Tokiwa Daikichi! You guys can call me Daikichi. Nice to finally meet you! I've heard a lot about you guys. Now, hop into the car so we can get going!"

Everyone got into the car, feeling nervous and excited. Not me, though. I was dreading this. Like I said, competitions aren't really my thing.

I sat at the back with Amu, Yaya and Utau, making sure that I was far away from purple head. KusuKusu went to sit with the other charas. The car drove out of the driveway, into the distance, and I looked out of the window, thinking 'Good bye, dear world'. Dramatic, I know, but true. I sighed. This was going to be a longgg week. Make that two weeks.

Daikichi, who sat at the front, turned towards us and smiled. "So you turned up after all. Just like Tsukasa said, you guys are really brave. Not that much kids like to be locked up in a building for two weeks, away from their parents. But it's pretty fun, actually."

"Excuse me, Daikichi, but, um, by locked up, do you mean really locked up? Like, we won't be able to leave that place for a bit of fresh air?" asked Tadase.

"Yup. You won't be able to see day light at all. None of you will be able to escape, since the doors will all be locked and have iron bars covering it." said Daikichi breezily, as if it was no big deal. Yeah, righhttt. I gulped, feeling more nervous.

"You mean, like jail?!" gasped Yaya, covering her mouth with her hand. She was starting to look a little uncertain about The Running Man. Ha, now you understand how I feel.

"Don't worry, the building's pretty comfortable." assured Daikichi.

"Um, what do you mean by this 'building'?" asked Kukai, the former Jack, suddenly. "Like, is it a mall, a gym, or something?"

"Let me explain." replied Daikichi. "In The Running Man, they'll be lots of different rounds, with many different sort of activities and stuff. So where we're going, there will be gyms, studios, stadiums, a music room, even a swimming pool. It's actually a place where actors, athletes, or orchestras work, but I booked the place for two weeks specially for you guys. So we'll all be on our own there, with no one to bother us."

(Sorry to interrupt the story, but I want to say something again. I know what Daikichi said didn't make sense, and I'm really sorry! I don't think a place like that even exists, but for the story, let's just pretend there's some place like that.)

"Hmm.. Interesting.." said Kairi, pushing up his glasses. Even though he said he joined just because he wanted to find out more about this Running Man thingy, I think he just wanted to spend more time with Yaya.

Ikuto, who had been staying quiet this whole time, asked "Wait, there's a music room? Like, violins?"

"Sure." said Daikichi, nodding. "There will be music challenges too."

Ikuto sat up, smirking. "This is going to be a lot more fun than I expected it to be."

"So we'll be divided into teams?" asked Amu. "But what sort of challenges are there? And how do we win?"

Daikichi smiled, and shook his head. "You'll find out later."

The charas were laughing and playing, and it was then that I realized Daikichi said in the letter that he knew we had charas. Was he able to see charas?"

"Um, Daikichi, if you don't mind me asking, how do you know about charas?" I asked. Daikichi grinned.

"Oh, I forgot to explain that!" he said. "Well, I used to have a chara too. He was called Riku. He was born from my desire to be good at sports."

"Hey, just like Daichi!" exclaimed Kukai, and he and Daikichi highfived each other. See, told you those two were alike.

"Unfortunately, Riku returned to his egg after I became a professional athlete in college." said Daikichi, smiling sadly. "I miss him, but I know he will always be in my heart, cheering me on."

After a while, the car finally stopped. We got out, stretching our legs. I looked up and saw a huge building. I mean, seriously huge.

Daikichi let us into the building. When we entered, we all gasped and marveled at everything.

The interior was gigantic!It was bright inside, and spot lights shone on us. I squinted at the light, trying to see. There were escalators to go up to billions of floors. It sort of looked like a mall. A huge screen was on the wall, and it showed a stick figure running. The words 'The Running Man!' was shown on the screen too. Loud music started playing. It was then that I noticed there were cameras and camera man everywhere. Wait... WE WERE BEING FILMMEEEEDDDDDDD?!

Daikichi grinned. "Welcome to The Running Man!"

Yay! I'm proud to say that I finished and uploaded this a day earlier than I promised!

And please review! Because I'm not sure if I want to continue this, since I only got two reviews from the last chapter. At first I thought this idea would be fun, since I've never seen anyone use it before. But now I'm starting to think that I'm a pretty bad writer. So, please review! Because I will only continue if I get at least 10 reviews! Even if you're too lazy, please still try and review! ONEGAI MINNA! I'M DESPERATE HERE! *goes and cries in the corner* Please?!
