Sorry for the long update. I just gotten busy with other things...
I also wanted to make this chapter longer than the others.
I'll also be changing the chapter's titles. But more like just adding some more words to the titles.
Like Arc or something~? Dunno.
"We've got alot more people in here now," Hyuuga informed while looking at everyone. "Should we play something else?"
"Hmmm...," Riko was in deep thoughts while eyeing every people with them "You're right... I think playing Hide and Seek will be a little difficult for us considering more people joined in"
"So, what should we do next?" Koganei asked.
Everyone begun thinking when an idea popped in Takao's mind and perked up.
"I know!" He begun, making everyone surprised an quickly turned to face him "Let's play 'Stuck in the Mud'!"
"Stuck in the what?" Izuki asked, confused.
Fukuda raised his hand to gain everyone's attention and asked "Does it include real mud?... I hope not"
Himuro chuckled "No, it doesn't, Fukuda-san"
"Then, how do you play it?" Furihata asked.
"It's a variation of tag," Kagami started explaining "Like in the game of tag, the tagger chased the players that are in the game. The difference is that when the player got tagged, they have to stand with their legs and arms apart and they cannot move. The only way to release them or untagged them is to go under the player who got tagged, either their legs or arms by the player who hasn't been tagged yet"
Himuro continued the explanation "The game continues for about 5-10 minutes or until everyone got tagged. But since we got alot of people, we can use more taggers"
"There you have it," Riko said simply. "Did everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"How will we split up the players and the taggers?" Tsuchida inquired.
"I have an idea!," Kise gleefully said, gaining everyone's attention and kept quiet, asking for him to continue.
"I have two colored papers here with me. We can use them to know who are the players and the taggers"
-Silence-
.
.
.
"I'm not gonna ask wherever you get that colored papers from" Kasamatsu huffed, Kise pouted at his statement.
"It's almost like Kise already know this is gonna happen" Aomine added.
"Ki-chan! Are you secretly a masochist?!" Momoi asked, giving Kise a face of disbelief.
"Wha?! I am not! And which part am I a masochist, Momoichii!?" Kise wailed.
"Be quiet, idiot!" Kasamatsu irritatedly kicked Kise.
"Wha! Kasamatsu-senpai! Hidoi!"
"Anyways!," Riko exaclaimed to get everyone's attention "We'll only need two colors. Kise-kun, please get them ready"
"Got cha-ssu!" Kise replied and started ripping the colored papers, completely forgetting that Kasamatsu just kicked him.
"How Kise forgotten that pain from your kicked is beyond me, Kasamatsu" Aomine said, sweat dropping while watching the blonde ripping the colored papers while happily humming.
"It's beyond me either" Kasamatsu replied.
"Kaijo's Kise Ryouta sure is a hard headed one, even though his teammate kicked him that hard, he's still able to move like it's nothing" Hayama complimented with Nebuya nodding his head in agreement.
"Well, he is Sei-chan's former teammate after all" Mibuchi muttered.
Momoi giggled "He won't be our Ki-chan if he can't handle that"
"Stop talking like I'm not here-ssu!" Kise exclaimed while pouting.
"Just take it as a compliment, Kise" Aomine sarcastically said, earning a glare from the blonde.
Seirin watched the conversation happening infront of them in amusement.
"This day sure is a great day!" Kiyoshi suddenly said out of the blue.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that, Kiyoshi?" Hyuuga asked the smiling Kiyoshi beside him.
"Well it's because...," Kiyoshi reasoned, looking at everyone "It's not everyday you get to hang out with everyone like this"
Hyuuga stared at Kiyoshi for awhile then to the crowd and hummed in agreement "If you're considering being with the other teams then I'll agree with you on that"
"But..." Koganei started, making Mitobe looked at him in confusion.
"But?" Tsuchida asked.
"What is it, Koganei-senpai?" Furihata also asked, Fukuda and Kawahara also looked at Koganei with both confusion and worries.
"It's just that... To be with the whole Kiseki No Sedai is a little bit surprising" Koganei continued.
"Ohhh..." Tsuchida, Furihata, Fukuda and Kawahara flatly said simultaneously.
Izuki sighed "I was getting worried when you trailed off your words..."
"That's what you're worried about?" Riko asked.
"Not really," Koganei replied. "More like surprised?"
"What's with the question there?!" Hyuuga urged himself not to facepalmed at his teammate's remark.
Koganei only scratched his the back his head while laughing awkwardly. Mitobe only shooked his head.
"Yep. Everyone's lively" Kagami simply said.
"Not you too, Kagami-kun," Kuroko muttered "Suddenly saying things out of the blue"
Kagami glared at his 'shadow' "Leave me alone!"
"Whatever you say, Kagami-kun" Kuroko sarcastically replied.
... After Awhile ...
"Done!," Kise happily informed "I separated the colors according to Aida-san's instructions"
"Instructions?" Midorima raised an eyebrow, asking for explanations.
"Alright. Listen everyone" Riko announced. When she saw that everyone's listening, she started explaning.
"Since there are 25 people here, we'll choose 5 players to be the taggers by taking a stick with the color in its ends" Riko explained, showing a can with thin sticked in it.
"So that's why Kise was taking a little long to finish the colored papers" Takao concluded.
"No peeking allowed"
"Alright," Hyuuga nodded his head "So, who'll start us off?"
"Seirin can start" Mayuzumi replied.
Seeing no one disagreeing, Riko presented the can infront of her team. Then starting with Kuroko, one by one, they tooked a stick. Next was Rakuzan, then Yosen, Kaijo, Tōō and lastly Shutoku.
...
..
.
"This is..." Riko managed to said.
"Well... This is unexpected" Kiyoshi complimented, grinning.
Hyuuga shrugged "Can't do anything about it. It's been decided"
"Good luck, Atsushi" Himuro cheered his partner.
Murasakibara hummed.
"Go, go, go, Akashi!" Hayama cheered loudly.
"It's not bad to cheer but let me remind you that you're part of them game, Hayama" Nebuya stoically said.
"I know, I know" Hayama replied, waving his hand at Nebuya; Nebuya only grumbled.
"Go, Dai-chan!," Momoi cheered "Go get'em!"
"Heh! You got it!," Aomine replied enthusiastically then turned into Kagami then grinned mischievously "Prepare to lose, Bakagami!"
"You're on, Ahomine!" Kagami hissed.
"Oi, oi. We're not starting yet. Don't get excited" Kasamatsu scolded; making Aomine and Kagami stop, for awhile.
"Wish me luck, Shin-chan!," Takao said; he then moved closer to Midorima and whispered "Be careful... Always be on your guard" He warned.
Midorima shuddered at his partner's warning "What are you upto, Takao?"
Takao just shrugged "Who knows~"
"TAKAO!"
Takao then teased Midorima by poking his tounge out. This only made a vein popped out of Midorima's head.
"Good luck, Shin-chan!" Takao cheered before skipping to the taggers' team.
Midorima only crossed his arms "Hmp. I don't need luck. I have my lucky item for today. Oha-asa says Cancers are second place today. As long as I have my lucky item, I will never lose" He muttered 'Though Oha-asa did said to be careful with scorpions today...' He thought then looked at his partner whose having a conversation with his team "The Taggers". He stared at his partner for awhile before turning around and walking off; a single sweat rolling on his face.
After separating the Players and Taggers, Riko started explaining the rules.
.
.
.
"Alright. Before I start explaining the rules, let me introduced to you the taggers of the game incase some of you Might forgot who the taggers are," Riko started, emphasizing the word 'Might' then continued, extending a open palm infront of the taggers. "From Seirin we have Hyuuga Junpei," Hyuuga nodded his head. "From Rakuzan, Akashi Seijurou," Akashi also nodded his head. "From Tōō, Aomine Daiki," Aomine have both of his arms on the back of his head while grinning mischievously at Kagami; Kagami only ignored it. "From Yosen, Murasakibara Atsushi," Murasakibara raised his hand in response before going back on munching his snacks. "And from Shutoku, we have Takao Kazunari" Takao waved his hand cheerfully before a smirk made its way to his face as he looks at his partner; Midorima shuddered in response.
"Those that didn't get their names called are the runners" She said; earning nods in response.
"Here are the rules" Riko said, explaining. "Your field will only be the picnic area. Run outside the said field and you'll be disqualified. You can use tricks to outrun your taggers except using items. Understood?"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Kagami-kun and Himuro-kun already explained how to play the game so, there's no need for me to explain"
"Question!" Koganei said in a loud voice.
"What is it, Koganei?"
"Are you and Momoi-san joining the game?"
"Ah, no," Momoi replied "We'll guard the foods while you guys do your fun activity"
"I'll keep them company," Mibuchi added "You guys just enjoy"
"Well... If you say so" Izuki said.
Mitobe was looking at the three with worried expression.
"Don't worry, Mitobe," Koganei assured Mitobe after seeing the expression on his face. "They'll be fine. Mibuchi-san's with them after all"
"Yep. That's right" Riko added, assuring Mitobe.
Mitobe looked at them for awhile before nodding his head in consent.
"So then! Let's start!" Kiyoshi cheerfully said.
"How are we going to start?" Fukuda can't helped but asked.
"Us taggers will count to 10. Use the 10 seconds to dash" Takao suggested.
"No. We'll do it instead" Mibuchi said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alrighty then" Takao replied.
"Enjoy everyone! Good luck!" Momoi yelled cheerfully.
"This will be interesting" Mibuchi commented, chuckling.
.
.

.

"Yosh!," Hyuuga yelled while turning around to face the runners before cracking his knuckles "Get your bodies ready cause i'm not gonna back down!" He said, pointing at the runners. "You hear me?!" He said before showing a evil grin on his face "I'll show you no mercy"
Almost everyone cowered in fear except for Kuroko and Himuro who sweatdropped at Seirin's captain's antics and Mayuzumi who shuddered and thought 'How did Seirin lived while having a scary captain?' but then shrugged when he remembered his team's certain redhead captain.
"CLUTCH TIME?!" Everyone in Seirin yelled in their thoughts except Kuroko whose face remained impassive.
While the runners , well, almost all the runners, were cowering in fear by someone. Akashi was watching the scene in silence but if you look closer, there's amusement dancing in his eyes. Aomine, like the runners, was cowering in fear. Takao was trying to stifle his laugh. Murasakibara remained calm while munching on his snacks but then stopped munching and made a comment.
"Uwaa... Seirin's captain is scary" He said before continuing munching.
Takao who was trying to stifle his laugh finally broke and let out a cheerful laugh "Hahaha! This is so hilarious!"
"I'm surprised Bakagami's able to live while having that kind of captain..." Aomine commented, sweats dropping on his face.
Momoi who heard his statements grinned and said "Like you're the one to talk, Dai-chan," Aomine looked at her in confusion.
"You're still alive after receiving punishment from our captain and...," She continued while enjoying the scared face on her childhood friend "You've been to Akashi-kun's training,right~?"
Riko who caught up to Momoi's thoughts joined in "Ohh~? Isn't that the same as belittling your former captain?"
Everyone then felt the temperature decreasing and felt chills on their spines, Aomine was now sweating buckets.
"Hoh? Is that so, Aomine?" Akashi asked, his eyes were being covered by his bangs.
"N-N-NO! It's not what you think, Akashi!" Aomine tried to reasoned.
"And from the way I heard it. It seems like you're still skipping some of your trainings" Akashi said, slowly turning his head to look at his former teammate.
Akashi then gaved Aomine a smile ( more like smile of doom! ) "I'll see to it to talk about your skipped trainings when your captain and I get to talk"
Aomine can only nod his head in fear and defeat.
Kuroko gaved a sigh and shooked his head.
"Idiot" Kagami muttered under his breath.
.
.
.
"Then. Should we start?" Takao inquired who earned a 'yes' in response.
"Alright! Get ready!" Riko exclaimed.
Aomine was already in position. His first... or main target locked on... Kagami. Aomine was looking at Kagami with the same mischievous smirk on his face as he waits for the countdown; Kagami saw the smirk and shuddered a bit before getting himself ready to run. Takao was looking at his partner with a grin plastered on his face, he grinned wider when he saw his partner looked away and locked on him as his first target. Murasakibara, whose snacks are now gone, stretched his arms a bit and was muttering "How troublesome" under his breath while eyeing the runners, when his eyes locked on his partner, Himuro, he muttered again "Maybe it's not so bad after all~". Hyuuga who have a evil smirk on his face was looking at the runners piercingly like he's eyeing some kind of prey and he's the predator; making some of them, who locked eyes with him shiver or shuddered in fear. Akashi was observing quietly at his current team "The taggers" and the runners. Then after awhile, he nodded to himself and quietly called Takao who in turn looked at him in response.
Riko, Momoi and Mibuchi was looking between the taggers and runners and noticed the intensed atmosphere.
'It almost look like they're about to engage into some kind of war' Momoi thought.
Mibuchi was having an unknown smile plastered on his face while looking between his redhead captain and his light grey head teammate then he looked at a certain teal head. After looking at the three for awhile, he stifled his giggle that was about to come out of his mouth. "Interesting. indeed" He quietly muttered.
.
.
.
"Ready!," Riko started "We're going to start the countdown!"
"10!" Momoi exclaimed.
Everyone started dashing away after hearing the countdown number.
"9!"
Takao let out a whistle "This'll be fun!," He chuckled then turned to look at Akashi and gave him a thumbs up; Akashi nodded his head in response.
"8!"
"Heheheh... Get ready to feel strength!" Hyuuga yelled.
"7!"
"He sure is on fire" Aomine commented.
"6!"
Murasakibara only hummed while stretching his arms again.
"5!"
"... Get ready" Akashi ordered; earning a 'yes'.
"4!"
'Get ready to lose, Kagami!' Aomine thought, positioning himself.
"3!"
Hyuuga positioned himself while still having an evil smirk on his face.
"2!"
Everyone was now in position. Akashi looked at the direction where a certain person used to dashed away.
"1!"
He then smirked and muttered "This'll be fun, indeed"
"Start!" Riko, Momoi and Mibuchi exclaimed and the taggers started dashing towards the directions where the runners are.
