"It's all over now. You don't have a chance, so just give up!" The guy trembled at the other end of the table and suddenly slammed his cards down. "Fine, alright Hazuki you win!" he stormed off from the poker table where Nagisa was raking in all of the cash he had won over the past six games. The atmosphere in the game room was tense to say the least. The guy that Nagisa had just beat (Hiroki is his name, Rei dimly recalled) had quite a few friends in the room – quite muscular friends – and they didn't look happy. Rei walked out from behind a few of them and dragged Nagisa out of there before a brawl started.
"Rei-chan, look at all of my winnings!" Nagisa flashed him a wide-toothed smile, holding up the cash, coins, a pack of gum, and a keychain. "I will admit that that was pretty impressive, but if you had taken my advice and followed simple theory, you would have increased your winnings by at least 12 percent." Rei said, still pushing Nagisa down the hallway.
"Whatever, I still won Hiroki's car!" Nagisa twirled the keys of the graduating senior's car on his pinky finger. "That's terrible!" Rei argued. "Has it occurred to you yet that he won't have a means to get home now? He's stranded at Samezuka until he gets it back!" Rei was almost shouting now. Nagisa turned to Rei, still twirling the keys on his finger.
"Hey, he put it up for grabs! He knew what the risks were!" Nagisa shouted. They were in the middle of the dance floor when the keys flew off of Nagisa's finger and into the crowd of people. Pride comes before a fall, Rei thought. "Aww, that sucks. I didn't even get to see what kind of car it was! Oh well," Nagisa sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "HEY! Hazuki!" a deep voice shouted over the music. "Uh oh," Rei and Nagisa mumbled. They recognized the voice as Hiroki's, and behind him were three off his friends. "Oh, hey guys, what's up?" Nagisa asked innocently, twiddling his thumbs. "I want my keys back," Hiroki growled. "Look, you put it up for grabs, I won it fair and square." Nagisa defended himself. Hiroki apparently couldn't take no as an answer. He moved to where Rei and Nagisa were standing in two strides. He was three inches taller than Rei, so he practically towered over Nagisa. He grabbed Nagisa's shirt collar, ripping off some of the costume's fancy buttons in the process, and brought his face in front of his own.
"Listen up Hazuki," he growled so low that it was hard to hear in the loud room. "I'm not a patient guy, and if I don't get those keys back by the end of tonight, you're gonna wish that you never ran into me! Got that?" Nagisa gulped and nodded. "Then we have an agreement. Meet me in the game room when you've got the guts to give them back. Before you do though," he reached into Nagisa's coat pocket. "I'll be taking this. See you," he called, turning his back on them to head back to the game room.
Nagisa slumped to the ground and whimpered. "He didn't…he couldn't have…but he did!" he mumbled to himself. "What? What did he take?" Rei asked. "I didn't see what he took." Nagisa looked up at Rei with pools of tears in his eyes. "He took my cellphone…" he whispered. Rei facepalmed. "Really Nagisa-kun? It's just a phone."
"No it's not! All of my important stuff is on there! Like some of my diary entries, my sisters' numbers, girls' numbers! I even got up to 274 points on Flappy Bird, Rei-chan! I've almost evolved all the way on Alpaca Evolution! I can't live without that phone!" Nagisa was shaking Rei from side to side, as if that would help him understand. They were making a huge scene in the dancing room, and almost all of the eyes in the room were trained on them.
"Nagisa-kun, stop making a scene! We'll get your phone back, we just have to find the car keys first! Until then, you can borrow mine." Rei placed his hands on Nagisa's shoulders to stop his from shaking him again. Nagisa looked up at Rei, still with tears in his eyes, but with thankfulness. "Rei-chan, you really mean that?" Nagisa whispered.
"Of course." Rei smiled. "Now let's start looking for those keys. Those girls over there might be getting the wrong impression from us," he said behind his hand. Nagisa looked over at the girls who were blushing and giggling behind their hands in confusion. "Aww, they make such a cute couple don't you think?" one girl squealed. She was lucky Rei didn't hear her.
AHAHHAHAHHAHA! (The girls at the end are the Reigisa shippers...I LAUGH AT YOU! HAHAHA! (I hate yaoi.))
This has got to be one of my favorite chapters ever! LOL. This chapter will have a part two to it, we WILL find out if Nagisa ever finds the keys, and we WILL find out what the last alpaca looks like in Alpaca Evolution! (I really hope I'm not the only one who knows about those games...*sigh*) But hey! This is now officially the longest story I've ever written! Yaya! INTERNET COOKIES FOR EVERYPEOPLES! :)
