I guess there's been a problem about the setting. And by problem, I mean that I've been REALLY vague about where the last chapter took place. Sorry about that. In case you are wondering, it's more or less the same location that the original problem children first appeared at when the whole series began.

Anyways, back to the story...

A few miles away from where the first group landed, a tough-looking punk was mumbling to himself while slowly walking to the middle of the clearing at the lakeside.

"Damnit! Who the hell thought up this prank?"

He started shaking his clothes to try and dry them faster. Luckily he fell in the water instead of the earth, so he wasn't hurt anywhere physically. His pride, however, was a different story.

"I'M GONNA SCREW THAT MORON WHO DID THIS TO ME!"

"U-Ummmm…"

He quickly turned his head to see a young girl with ocean-blue hair and blood-red eyes staring at him from behind a tree in the forest. He noticed that her clothing was similar to the kind that detectives or mysterious characters in manga would wear, but her personality seems to greatly contradict her appearance.

"What is it?"

"Uhhh…well, I couldn't help…but overhear…did you…get some kind of…letter?"

"Huh?" he brought his face closer to the girl. He didn't mean to be harsh on her, but he was too pissed off to notice that his face seemed to be projecting rage. She cringed a bit, so he sighed and took a deep breath before talking again.

"Guess you got one too…"

She quickly nodded while shivering from the cold. Looking closely, he noticed that she was also soaked down to the bone, so she must have fallen into the lake about the same time he did.

"So it's probably not just some stupid prank…Well, we should go find the others…" he said as he remembered that there were more people that fell from the sky.

He removed his jacket to reveal a giant picture of the Kanji for "Strength" on the back of his shirt, and tossed it to the shivering girl.

"It's pretty wet, but it'll probably be warmer than what you've got right now…"

She stared at him for a few minutes before making a deep bow in appreciation and wearing it over her own clothes. The boy scratched his head before offering a hand.

"I'm Mugen Aragaki. What's your name?"

"O-Otome Sakura…y-you could just call me S-Saku…"

She gave him her own hand to shake. Afterwards, Mugen looked around for a bit before taking out the shinai from his waist and letting it rest on his shoulder.

"Let's head that way." He said pointing to nowhere in particular. We might find a town or the other guys if we follow the edge of this lakebed…"

The two of them started walking in search of some form of aid. Mugen hoped that wherever they were, it wouldn't be boring at the very least.

Back with the first group, the [No Names] had just finished explaining the situation to their new visitors.

"I see, so we were summoned to someplace called [Little Garden] by the one called Kurousagi…" Kyle said, as if trying to understand.

"Yes! That's right!" Kurousagi answered.

"And we're supposed to just join the group known as the [No Names] because these guys don't want to spend too much time in the garden?"

"Yeah, that's correct" Asuka replied.

"And you say that if we refuse, you'll just force us to join anyways and make us submit to embarrassing situations?"

"Yup, that's the plan." Izayoi nodded.

"I see…"

Kyle took up the role as "representative" since Ryo was in his own world, Cecilia wasn't much of the talkative type, and Hikari was clinging on to her brother very tightly. After reviewing the facts, he glanced at the [No Names] once again before pocketing his hands.

"Then can I assume the one that nearly killed us is the bunny girl over there?" he asked shifting his head towards Kurousagi's direction while glaring.

Kurousagi tried to keep a straight face, but on the inside, she was sweating a river. She didn't want to anger this dangerous-looking kid, but she wasn't sure how to answer without lying.

"Yeah, pretty much…"

Her jaw dropped as Izayoi answered while holding his hand out, as if offering her as a sacrifice. Out of fear, her brain started to spin as she tried to calculate how far she could travel if she started running right now.

"I see…" Kyle closed his eyes as he started to go into deep thought. "Then I guess there's only one way we can accept this turn of events…"

He grinned as he looked at the four (technically five) of them.

"Let's participate in one of these [Gift Games] right now..."

"Eh?" Kurousagi cocked her head to one side in confusion.

"You said that people offer almost anything in these [Gift Games]. That's how most problems are dealt here, right?"

Asuka nodded her head. "Yeah, that's pretty much how this world works…"

"Then we'll go have a simple game right now. If you win, we'll go and join without any problems. If not, then…you'll hand us the rabbit to be punished and repent for her cruel actions."

"That's fine."

"NO IT'S NOT!" Kurousagi was wildly flailing her arms as she tried to persuade the problem children into saving her. "Why does Kurousagi need to be the one who suffers?"

"Well you were the one who made them drop over the lake without warning." Yo retorted.

"You also brought in Izayoi's sister to such a dangerous world…"Asuka chimed in.

"Not to mention you haven't really done anything useful lately, so it shouldn't really matter that much if you're around or not…" Izayoi concluded.

Kurousagi fell to the ground, depressed and greatly saddened.

"Oh whatever…do what you all want… Kurousagi just doesn't care anymore…"

Gift Game: "Oni Chase(Tag)"

Should Ryo Natsobe win, the [No Names] shall surrender the aristocrat known as "Kurousagi" to the other team

Oath: Each participant will adhere to the rules and will refrain from injuring with intent. The loser shall submit to their fate without question.

"So are we in agreement?" Kurousagi asked each group.

Kyle held a [Geass Roll] in his hand while Izayoi held the other. Izayoi grinned as he nodded his head, while Kyle just closed his eyes in acknowledgement. The countdown silently began as Ryo and Yo stared at each other.

10…
9…
8…

"Good luck, Kasukabe-san…" Ryo said while smiling.

5…
4…

Yo nodded. "You too…."

2...
1…
0!

At the end of the countdown, the two of them quickly ran into the forest with incredible speed. The others just watched as both figures disappeared into the trees.

"Well then, now that we've gotten that out of the way…" Asuka started turning her head to Hikari while smiling. "Let's all start getting along with each other, ok?"

Hikari didn't slack any grip on her brother, but she turned her head and gave a mean glare at the young "ojou-sama" with eyes that held a lot of mistrust. Asuka was a bit shocked, but she gave a small cough before turning to Kurousagi.

"So is there a place where we can just talk things over without any interruptions?"

Izayoi had suddenly interrupted. "Actually, I can think of a place right now…"

So here's the next "Author's note" segment.

I'm guessing some of you didn't expect these new chapters to appear so soon in such short timespans. Well this chapter might be shorter than the previous two, but that's because the gift game starts next chapter, along with some conversations between the two groups that may or may not hint abilities and/or history. Either way, I think it's getting interesting.

Don't expect this story to always be updated every 2 days or so. Right now I'm on a roll, but we never know when a snag will hit and make the next chapter appear in a month of so. But hopefully, I'll be able to let you guys know ahead of time.

I've said OC's are closed, but I'll be accepting any [Gift Games] you guys might have thought up if you want to share them. NOT YET THOUGH. With making up new chapters and planning how things might work out (as well as the expectation of a certain couple new games coming up next Saturday), I want things to eventually "cool off" first.

Anyways, thanks for the good and informative reviews. I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter if you didn't like this one.
