All of the regulars were lounged out in Jackal's room, staring at the ceiling.
"Why," exclaimed Jackal angrily, "does it have to be at MY house?"
Kirihara stuck his tongue out. "Because we hate you."
Jackal was immediately reduced to tears. "You really hate me?"
"No, we just hate your head," started Marui.
"And your face," remarked Niou.
"And your house!" exclaimed Kirihara as he suddenly stepped on a thumbtack.
"Also your personality," stated Yanagi.
"And lastly your tennis," ended Yagyuu.
Sanada frowned. "Which is basically everything."
"Sanada," said Yanagi, "this is supposed to be a regulars-only meeting...why are you here?"
"Hey!" yelled Kirihara. "Don't be mean to Sanada!"
Tears swelled in Jackal's eyes. "You stick up for Sanada but not me?"
"You're nice too, Jackal-senpai..."
"NO! I HATE THE WORLD! I HATE MY LIFE! I HATE EVERYBODY!" wailed Jackal as he bawled on the floor like a little child whose lollipop was stolen by other ninja-costume wearing, dagger-carrying little baby gangsters.
"Wow!" whispered Kirihara to Marui. "I never knew he had such large problems!"
"I know," whispered Marui back. "I've been his partner for so many years, and I've never realized that he had motherly-issues AND hating-his-life issues!"
Niou smirked. "Poor little Jackie's gone insane!" he murmured. Kirihara and Marui nodded in agreement.
Yanagi cleared his throat. "Due to many circumstances, we have almost forgotten why we are here. Ms. Latnem has instructed that we must come up with a way to save Akaya from his anger by Monday. It's Sunday today, and we've STILL HAVEN'T CAME UP WITH ANYTHING."
"I've got an idea!" squeaked Sanada like a little kid who was planning with kind giant purple dinosaurs how to get back his lollipop from other ninja-costume wearing, dagger-carrying little baby gangsters.
"That was SO not you," replied Yagyuu.
Sanada blushed.
"This is so interesting!" exclaimed Yanagi while scribbling furiously in his data book. "I must tell this to Sadaharu! This is amazing! This is the only data I have on Sanada right now except that he used to like barbies when he was three!"
Marui gasped. "Sanada used to like BARBIES?" Kirihara breathed in deeply and held his breath. Niou was laughing his head off in the distance, and Yagyuu was coughing politely into his handkerchief while trying not to laugh.
Sanada blush turned crimson. "TARUNDORU! All of you!"
Everybody stopped what they were doing and started staring at him. "Yanagi! You were NOT allowed to tell ANYONE that!" he screamed, his face purple from lack of air.
Yanagi bowed. "I'm sorry, Sanada. It just slipped out of my mouth, by the way, it is your fault that when I came over last month you let me see all the Barbie dolls and dresses in your drawer."
Sanada turned from pink to red, from red to green, from green to blue, from blue to purple, and from purple to as white as a sheet. As his eyes rolled upwards, Sanada fainted and crumbled to the ground.
"Oh," said Kirihara to interrupt the silence. "He's dead."
Niou face-palmed. "Your buchou is dead and all you say is 'Oh. He's dead'? How heartless of you!"
Marui rolled his eyes. "It's not like you care either, Niou. You probably wouldn't even budge if I died in front of you!"
Niou shrugged. "I would budge if you landed on me, though," he argued. "I mean, you're like a ton of fat meat and sugar."
Marui scoffed. "Well excuse-me but you're the one with a teddy bear named 'Teddy'."
"Well you're the one with a stuffed pig!"
"But you're the one with candy canes hidden in your underwear drawer!"
"You're the one who hides your diary under your bed!"
"Excuse-me!"
"Excuse-me!"
Niou and Marui immediately started cat-fighting to the death. Tufts of hair flew. Strips of clothing landed everywhere.
Yanagi was scribbling at super-sonic speed in his notebook. "Wow!" he exclaimed excitedly. "There is so much data today! This is a data feast! I MUST share my notes with Sadaharu!"
Yagyuu tried to separate the two monsters, but got knocked out by a random basketball that seemed to fly out of nowhere. Niou and Marui stepped on and over him, still fighting.
Kirihara sat on Jackal's bed, swinging his legs idly. He suddenly kicked Yagyuu on the face who was about to get up, and Yagyuu fainted again.
Jackal had just come from the bathroom after washing his face and telling himself no, he wasn't going to cry.
But when he saw the scene in his room, he felt like crying. Niou and Marui were fighting; things were flying around; Yanagi was scribbling in his notebook like a maniac; Sanada had fainted; Yagyuu had just got up from his faint and was stumbling around like a idiot and Kirihara was just sitting on his bed, swinging his legs idly.
"What...is...going...on...in here?" Jackal stumbled. Oh god, his parents were going to kill him.
Kirihara shrugged. "Nothing much."
Oh my.
After having lunch, stopping the fight, waking up the dead and cleaning up Jackal's room, the team was gathered in Jackal's living room.
Yanagi slapped his forehead. "I was so busy collecting data I almost forgot!" he shouted. "I just remembered that we still have to 'cure' Akaya!"
All heads turned to look at said victim. "What!" questioned Kirihara. "You don't have to look at me like that! It's rude."
Marui rolled his eyes. "How are we supposed to cure him? It's not like we're psychiatrists or anything."
Yanagi shrugged. "Perhaps," he stated, "you could just make him pretend that he is cured, and then we don't have to do anything!"
"What a great idea!" commented Niou.
Jackal sighed. "I don't think that's such a great idea, since you all ruined my room!"
Niou stuck his tongue out. "Nobody cares what you think, right, Marui?"
"Sure...whatever," answered Marui.
Kirihara's jaw dropped to the floor. "So I have to pretend I'm all nice and friendly? I'd rather die."
Sanada looked very serious. "You must, if you don't want to be kicked off the team. If you are, even I can't help you."
"Who said we needed your help?" questioned Jackal, still bitter.
"Fine. Be that way," replied Sanada with a huff. He exited the room in a hurry.
Kirihara was still gasping. "I have to be nice? That's impossible!
Yanagi looked up from his data book. "You have to, unless you want to stop playing tennis from now on. I believe that you wouldn't enjoy that, Akaya."
As all the regulars exited Jackal's house (except for Jackal, who was grinning like he was a hobo and he just won the lottery). "I hate Ms. Latnem," mumbled Kirihara.
A/N: personally, we think that akaya IS a nice person, but for the sake of the plot, he will be mean. We hope that we didn't offend anybody, if we did, I apologize.
