Chapter 9: Day Two

Team Rima: Rima's Pov

Today is another wonderful day. I can't wait to get started. Today we are trying a plan, Akaya thought up. We take two of the fish from yesterday and cut them open. Then we lay them out in the sun. The strong and stinky smell of the fishes soon fills the air.

"It stinks!" whined Momo. "Can't we try something else?"

"Nope, I'm sure it's going to work," said Akaya, picking them up and put the fishes in too separate jars. Then he put the jars on the ground. He sat next to them watch the jars.

"Aka-chan, it better not take too long," I said. "I don't want to wait all day."

"It's not going to take that long," Akaya said. He was right. Pretty soon a bunch of flies flew into the bottles. Akaya and Keigo quickly put the lid back on.

"That was fast," Ann said. "I expected it to be longer."

"No, that was very slow," I said. "I wanted it to be faster."

"Thank god, it's over," said Momo. "I don't know if I can stand the smell any longer."

"Let's try something else," said Keigo. "This time, Ore-sama will decide on what to do."

"No one's going to listen to you, Oreo-sama," said Akaya.

"How dare you!" shouted Keigo. "No one disobeys Ore-sama."

"Yeah right," said Akaya. "Dream on."

"You…" Keigo began to say. He never finished. I whacked both bakas on the head.

"Cut it out!" I growled.

"Yes ma'am!" both of them shouted. "We won't do it again, ma'am! Never again, ma'am!"

I rolled my eyes. Yeah right. Never again is impossible for them. They never stop fighting. I sighed turned to Keigo. "Okay, what's your plan?"

Team 2: Sananda's Pov

My team is trying something new today. Where in the world did they get butter? Well, that doesn't matter now. Ryo made a fire and put the butter over it. Then he pours the melting butter into a jar. Pretty soon a herd of beetles came. I don't actually like beetles since they remind of one of Rima's little traps. Anyways, everyone expect me is running around trying to capture the beetles which was very easy.

"Genichiro, why don't you try catching them?" asked a voice from behind me.

I turned around and came face to face with Rengi. "Why aren't you trying to catch anything?"

"I am gathering data," Rengi replied. "Everyone needs data."

It's more like he's trying to beat Inui. "Shall we help?" I asked.

Rengi completely ignored me. "There's a 90% chance that we will be able to do better then yesterday."

Everyone knows that. There is no need for him to say things that were already very obvious. I sighed. Today is going to be a very long day.

Team 3: Ryoma's Pov

Our little experiment is horrible. No one's going catch any thing like this. Plus Takashi Senpai isn't really helping. Swinging that racket around and shouting "Burning", is going to scare everything away. Pretty soon I heard a "WHACK!" and someone's glasses went flying. Yushi ran after it.

"My glasses!" he wailed. "Somebody save it! I can't live without it!"

The glasses flew across the river and hit a rock, scattering into a thousand tiny pieces. Yushi crashed into me sending both of us into the freezing cold water. I shot up right away, pushing Yushi away from me. "What in the world is wrong with you?" I snapped angrily. That water was so cold that someone can freeze to death in less then one minute. I am not joking.

"Sorry," Takashi muttered. Yushi completely ignored him. He was too busy mourning over the loss of his glasses. I swear that guy is going crazy.

"What am I going do without it?!" he whined. "I'm won't be able to look good anymore."

"Look good?" I gasped. "You only wear glasses because they make you look good?"

"Well of course," he said. "Those glasses make me look smart, you know."

He's got to be kidding me. What kind of guy wears glasses just because he looks smart in it? Well forget about that. I so tired right now. We have been following this river since the morning. Plus, today is like 110°F or something. "Can we take a break?" I asked.

"No! We must not rest," said Bunta. "We have to get something today no matter what!"

"Even if you kill yourself?" I asked.

"Yes!" he said right away. Then he realized what he said and quickly corrected himself. "Of course, I'm not going to do something that crazy."

"Not everything then," I said. "Why don't we take a little break? It's not going to harm us is it?"

"I guess you're right," Bunta said after a while. "Let's take a break."

Takashi Senpai and Yushi were having an argument over the glasses, when I saw something. It was long, green, and thick. I was so sure it was a very, very large vine until the "vine" lifted its head and looked at me with two ruby red eyes. It opens its mouth and hissed. "SNAKE!"I shouted, jumping up.

Everyone else immediately jumped up. They quickly looked around. The minute they saw the snake, they screamed and took off, leaving me behind. "Hey, wait for me!" I yelled, running after them. That snake looks like Kaido Senpai.

Later

We caught 5 full jarfuls today. Both Akaya's and Keigo's plan worked out really well. Kaido and Inui caught plenty of fish today. We could have caught 6 jarfuls but Akaya and Keigo had another fight and ruined our chance. Overall, today was great. And I'm sleepy. I was just about to fall asleep when the two bakas started to fight again. I sighed and went to break them up.

Team 2: Sananda's Pov

My team did well. We caught 3 jarfuls today. No one listened to Rengi data. It is unneeded. Now that I think about it, Data Tennis players always tell everyone their predictions right after the opposing players does the move. Where is the use in that? The only useful thing the 'Data Masters' can actually do is support their teammates with data about unknown teams or players. There was a crash and I turned around. Ryo seems to have dropped something. I sighed. I just can't wait for this crazy trip to be over.

Team 3: Ryoma's Pov

My team did horrible! We only managed to fill half a jar. Plus, we were nearly killed by a very fat, but fast snake. That snake really looked like Kaido Senpai when he is very angry or annoyed about something. I can't wait to get out of this forest. I don't want to meet that snake again.
