Hi!! This is Kirei again! I'm sorry it took a while for me to write this chap, with school and all...

Read my profile to know about my next idea! If you like the story idea "transferring into hell", please pm me and I will try to make it happen. Oh, and you'll see things like (!). Just look at the bottom to know what that is.

Disclaimer: I'm a better artist than writer, so I most likely would suck at professional manga. So obviously, I don't own skip beat. Nor do I have the genius or skill to create such a work of art.

Switch Beat!

Chapter 10 – Sharp shooter

Kyoko went upstairs and immediately wish she didn't. Blue team was not going away anytime soon. Yashiro was good with a gun. Better than anyone has ever expected. Kyoko almost got hit, but moved just in time. Yashiro spotted her after she yelled behind the rock she was hiding behind. Ren didn't like that glint in his eye and thanked god he wasn't his prey. Kyoko realized she was targeted when most of the blue bullets came her way. Yashiro was ready to finish her off. He was almost there to her rock but he had to stop. A red bullet zoomed past his head. Yashiro ducked and turned to find Sho standing behind him.

"I declare no one gets to shoot her but me." Sho said, with an overconfident look. Ren got agitated at that sentence and shot Kyoko just to prove a point.

"OWWWW! IDIOT! THAT FRIGGIN' HURT!! WHY THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO SHOOT YOUR OWN TEAM MEMBER!" Kyoko yelled shooting him twice in the arm. They kept shooting each other until Maria started angrily tapping on the glass demanding them to stop. She winked at Sho and whispered something in his ear. He nodded smiled. Yashiro was on guard watching Kyoko and Ren most, because they were behind him. But he regretted not looking in front, because Sho and Kanae were gone. When Yashiro finally noticed this, he started to look around.

Swish.

Yashiro turned around and saw a red paintball come at him. He leaned back like Neo and back flipped to move out the way. He wasn't the ruler of the battle field anymore. Kyoko motioned to Ren that they needed to go downstairs, before the red team remembers them. Kanae walked out in front of Yashiro, unarmed. Yashiro was surprised, but he pointed his gun at her, ready to shoot. Sho is not around, and Ren and Kyoko disappeared somewhere, so why not? Yashiro thought. He pulled the trigger, and Kanae mouthed something that made Yashiro uneasy.

'DUMMY'

Yashiro saw the bullet go over Kanae's head as she dodged it. He pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. He heard a click, and his head set whispered a 'game over'. Yashiro was still confused on what was going on. Well, until Sho came and explained it to him.

"How noble of you, going for an unarmed person." Sho said, shaking his head.

"What happened?" Yashiro asked, still trying to shoot.

"In the game, you only have 75 bullets. Me and 'mi lady' was dodging quite fast, weren't we? Have you noticed that we hardly ever shot back at you? Mi lady is a good counter. She's amazing, eh? We were watching you like stalkers, Mr. Manager. Counting every little blue pellet that popped out of that thing. "

Sho said, putting a finger on the blue paint covered bullet hole that was on the gun. Then Kanae shot Yashiro.

"I LOST KOTONAMI-SAN! WHY ARE YOU STILL SHOOTING AT ME?" Yashiro said, touching the red paint like blood.

"Because I haven't shot anyone before…It's fun!" Kanae said, shooting him twice more.

"Don't waste your bullets Mi lady. I still need your genius." Sho said laying a hand on her gun. She smiled and looked away. She felt a blush coming on, and she hated it.

"C-come on. We have to look for the green team." Kanae said, walking ahead.

Ooo

Kyoko and Ren both were not surprised when they heard their headset's announcement.

"Blue team terminated." It said. Kyoko looked at her bullet counter. 74. The 75th one killed off poor Maria, and the 74th was reserved. For shooting and hitting someone worth shooting. She smiled evilly and petted her gun. It was quiet, Kyoko noticed, when she left her evil trance. She looked at Ren and stop blinking; He was staring at her with a weird expression. Kyoko waved at him, and he waved back. She was still being stared at. She looked away, and then looked back, and he was still staring.

"WHAT?!" She said, getting irritated. Ren shrugged at Kyoko slapped her forehead.

"Why are you staring at me?" Kyoko asked finally.

"I don't have anything else to look at. Your expressions are interesting."

"We are about to get found, and you're bored?"

"Not after watching you."

"Whatever! Just get in fire position."

"In what?" Ren asked, playing dumb so he could hear Kyoko's voice. She sighed got in a war stance.

Ren laughed and Kyoko shot him.

"Don't laugh! Man, I should get one of these for everyday use." Kyoko said, fighting back a smile.

(!)"You should shoot my whole wardrobe, so they'll let me go shopping." Ren said, finishing his laugh.

Kyoko was about to say something smart until the door bust open and reveled two smirking people. Ren instantly got in fire position and Kyoko glared at him.

"We can't forget about you guys! Don't feel left out!" Kanae said, smiling an unusually warm smile.

ooo

Tomoko dialed Kyoko's number many times, but couldn't get her. Then she called Maria.

"Hello?" Maria answered.

"This is Fujioka Miwako, Kyoko's manager. Can I ask you where she is located if you know?" Tomoko asked, feigning a voice.

"Oh! Kyoko is currently at Jyusuuke's paintball place. Sorry, I dragged her here." Maria said.

"It's okay. Thank you!" Tomoko said, hanging up. She slapped the Lego out of Yore's hands and dragged him out. (OMG! Lol! )

"Hey, Tadashii-kun, we are going to play some paintball okay? You get to see Aunty-chan." Tomoko said. Yore was in the older child stage now, and they ALL love the violence of guns. He grinned and hugged her.

"Hope aunty is as nice and fun as you Onee-chan." Yore said, snuggling his head in her stomach.

Tomoko smiled at him, as well as the nurse.

Ooo
