-ROUND 4-

Kenya leaned to Ryoma and whispered whatever he had thought of, to the shorter boy.

"…Ugh… now you make me feel like I should eat some right now…" Ryoma's face gloomed.

And for a reason, Akaya spoke. "Ryo-chan! Can I finish up your strawberries for you?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, go ahead."

"YEEESSS!" Akaya took Ryoma's cup and stuffed a fork-ful of the sweet berries into his whiney, talkative, loud mouth.

The others ignored the seaweed haired child to continue the game.

Ryoma whispered to Seiichi and told him what he heard from Kenya. Yukimura could only stare at the floor for a moment. "…I kind of want some now-" Yukimura said, but was instantly interrupted by Ryoma.

"Right?" Ryoma said. Er… asked. Er… never mind…

"Okay…? Then… I'll just tell Hiroshi."

So then Yukimura whispered to Yagyuu. After Yukimura whispered to Yagyuu, the said glasses boy went ahead and whispered to Chitose. After Yagyuu whispered to Chitose, Chitose just smiled at Kenya and said, "Nice choice, Kenya!" and put a thumb up.

"Right?" Kenya smiled back and put a thumb up too.

Shiraishi blinked a few times with a confused face. "Senri, what's the word?" he asked, looking at Chitose.

"Oh, yeah, come here," Chitose said, making a hand motion that told Shiraishi to come close so that Chitose could whisper to him.

"Psst. Psst. Psst." Was what the others heard when Chitose whispered to Shiraishi. When Chitose was done whispering to Shiraishi, the said white/gray/silver haired boy widened his eyes. "Wow, that is a nice choice."

"Right?" Chitose said.

"I think you guys should stop saying that," Ryoma said. "It's getting kind of annoying now."

"Right?" Yukimura said. Ryoma glared at him. Yukimura giggled. "Sorry, it seemed kind of amusing."

"Right?" Niou smirked.

Ryoma glared at him too. "Say that one more time, and you're out of this round."

Niou perked up at that. "R-really? Okay! R-" he was cut off by Yukimura, who threw a paper roll at Niou's face. "O-ow! What was that for!" he shouted.

"I am not letting lose this round like that. You have to lose the right way. And the right way is to mishear the word or phrase that is being passed down to you." The god's child told him.

Niou had a scowl on his face. 'I don't wanna play this game anymore!' he shouted in his head. But then an idea came up in his head. He smirked.

"Don't even try to lie, saying that you heard it wrong." Yukimura warned.

Niou's smirk disappeared instantly. 'C-can he read my mind?'

"No, Masa-kun, I can't read your mind." Yukimura informed.

Niou gaped. 'T-then how did he know-'

"I just know you really well, Masa-kun."

Niou just stayed silent. Yukimura smiled. "Very good. Now please continue, Kura-kun."

Shiraishi nodded and whispered to Momo. After he whispered to him, Momo only nodded and whispered to Fuji. Fuji smiled. "Heh~ that's interesting." He said. And then he whispered to Niou.

"…I heard 'tagoyagi'." He said.

"Okay, then your out." Kenya said bluntly.

"EH! Really? Awesome!" Niou cheered. Then he left the circle and joined the losers that lost the other rounds.

"Let's make this quick," Yukimura said. "Just call out the words you heard. Nothing else. Starting from Ryo-chan."

"Takoyaki." Ryoma said

"Takoyaki." Yukimura said.

"Takoyaki." Yagyuu said.

"Takoyaki." Chitose said.

"Takoyaki." Shiraishi said.

"Tagoyagi." Momo said.

"Tagoyagi." Fuji said.

"…Get back in the circle, Masa-kun. It was Momo who heard it wrong." Yukimura said.

"WHAT! Dang iiiit!" Niou whined as he stepped out of the losers circle and went back to the game circle, while Momo stepped out of the game circle and went into the losers circle.

"Welcome to our circle, Momo." Kikumaru said.

"Yeah, please take care of me." Momo said.

"Yosh, who wants to start the fifth round?" Kenya asked the people in the circle.

"…I will," Shiraishi said.

"Start whenever, Kura-kun." Yukimura smiled.

"Then I'll start now."

-ROUND 5-

Shiraishi started to whisper to Fuji. After Shiraishi whispered to him, Fuji could only chuckle at what he heard. "Kufufufu~ that's pretty amazing, Kura-kun." Fuji said. (A/N: any of you guys know that laugh/ chuckle in a certain anime? XD)

"Is it?" Shiraishi lightly scratched the back of his head and gave a small smile.

"Well, I think it is," then Fuji whispered to Niou. After Fuji whispered to Niou, he noticed that Niou was silently crying. He was probably crying before Fuji whispered to him. "…what's wrong, Masa-kun?" Fuji asked, without any concern.

Niou sniffed a bit. "I don't wanna play this game anymore!" he said.

"Well, too bad. So hurry up and whisper to Ken-chan." Ryoma said in a not caring way.

"B-but-" Niou tried to say, but was cut off by Ryoma.

"You better shut your mouth, before I make you." He threatened.

Niou instantly shut his mouth. He sniffed a bit more and held back the tears, this time, the tears that were going to fall out, but didn't, were from Ryoma's threat. Then he whispered to Kenya.

After Niou whispered to Kenya, Kenya could only give Niou a "you're-starting-to-annoy-me-now" look. Then he started to whisper to Ryoma.

Ryoma made a confused face. 'What a weird word…' he thought. Then he whispered to Yukimura.

Yukimura said nothing and just passed it on to Yagyuu. Yagyuu did the same like Yukimura. Then he whispered to Chitose. "I heard 'egushitashi'." He said.

"Shiraishi, please start," Yukimura said, starting to get bored of the game.

"Ecstasy~!" he said. Like the way he does in the anime.

"…" everyone, minus Fuji, stared at him. "Ecstasy." Fuji said with his smile.

"Ecstasy..." Niou mumbled.

"Egushitashi." Kenya said.

"Egushitashi." Ryoma said.

"Egushitashi." Yukimura said.

"Egushitashi." Yagyuu said.

"Alright, you're out Kenya." Yukimura said. "Now get out of the circle."

Kenya only shrugged. When he was about to go to the loser's circle, a sharp tug on his leg stopped him. When he looked down to see who it was, he saw Niou, who was bawling. "Please! Trade spots with me! I'm begging!" Kenya could only sweat drop at him. "Uhm…"

"No," Yukimura said with a serious expression and with his godly aura. "You cannot trade spots with Kenya. You are to lose the right way, Niou. Now let go of Kenya, and sit back in the game circle properly." Yukimura ordered.

Niou complied, still sobbing.

"Welcome to our circle, Kenya!" Kintaro shouted.

"Yeah, yeah…" Kenya brushed a hand against the air.

"Good," Yukimura nodded. "Who wants to go next in the round?" he asked.

Fuji raised his hand. "I would like to," he said.

"Start whenever,"

"I'll start now."

-ROUND 6-

When Fuji was about to whisper to Niou, he heard a woman's voice calling Yukimura.

"Seiichi!" his mother called from downstairs.

"Yes, Kaa-chan?" he called back.

"There's someone here to see Ryoma!" she replied.

Everyone (including the people in the loser's circle) looked at Ryoma. Ryoma could only raise an eyebrow. 'Who could come here to see me?' he thought.

A/N: i plan on making um... omakes...? (i think thats the word... i dont remember) to make the chapters longer in words. there's only two rounds with two people out in each chapter, and since there are people getting lesser in the game in further chapters, each round gets shorter. which means there are shorter words. and i dont like that... so yeah! XD

and the omake (?) will be titled "WHAT THESE ELEMENTARIES DO IN SCHOOL:"! oh, and please notice the two dots after it.

WHAT THESE ELEMENTARIES DO IN SCHOOL: What Niou does to his baby carrots

Yagyuu was with Niou to get their lunch. Niou grabbed a small bag of baby carrots and headed to his table, following Yagyuu. When they reached to the empty table, they sat down. Yagyuu looked at Niou's food and noticed that he had a bag of carrots.

'Eh? That's weird. Masaharu doesn't eat the carrots the school gives us… why does he have them?' Yagyuu thought. But he shrugged it off.

The school bell rang, indicating that lunch was over. Yagyuu put his plastic plate away. So did Niou. When they were walking out of the cafeteria, Yagyuu noticed that Niou had the bag of carrots in his hands and started to open them. He had a feeling that Niou would do something stupi- I mean, idiotic. Then a thought came up in his head.

"…Masaharu," Yagyuu called the trickster's name.

"Ha?" Niou replied.

"…are you going to throw those carrots at somebody?" he asked.

Niou grinned. "Yeah, and by 'somebody', I mean the kid ahead of us." he motioned his head; pointing at a certain red head.

"…you mean… Marui Bunta?"

"Is that his name? If it is, then yes."

"Why would you throw the carrots at him?

"'Cause I thought it would be funny," he said bluntly, getting ready to throw the said food at Marui's head.

"Masaharu, please don't-" too late. Niou threw the carrot straight to Marui's head.

Marui felt something hit the back of his head. "H-huh?" he looked left, right, up and down. When he looked down, he saw a baby carrot on the floor. "…did someone throw that at me?" he asked himself.

When Niou and Yagyuu walked passed Marui, Niou dumped all of the baby carrots in his hand and threw ALL of them at Marui and quickly looked away like nothing happened.

Marui felt a bunch more carrots hit him. "W-what the heck! Omigosh! Baby carrots are attacking me out of nowhere!" he started to panic and ran towards to his classroom.

Niou and Yagyuu watched the said boy ran towards his class. "…Masaha-" Yagyuu started, but Niou laughed over him.

"PFFT! AHAHAHA! Did you see that! That was HI-larious! He didn't even look at us to see who threw those at him! Oh~, if only Seiichi was with us!" he wiped a tear from his eye.

Yagyuu could only stare for a moment. Then…

"…no more carrots for you," Yagyuu told him.

Niou could only stare at him too. "…fine." he grumbled.

Then they both headed back to class!

NOTE: OMIGOD! im REALLY sorry i updated THIS chapter MORE late! a few of my classes are giving me projects that i cant do that well on...

BUT! its now thanksgiving week! i should be able to update the chapters faster now! ...i think... but yeah! XD

i didnt check to see my grammers and whatnot. feel free to correct me! but i probably wont fix it... sorry.

the humor looks like its bad in this chapter... sorry!

ANOTHER NOTE: how i came up with the omake (?)! XD

it happened during a school day, after lunch. i was walking with my cousin, and i noticed him opening the small, plastic bag of baby carrots. i knew he was going to throw them, because he and his friends always throw food at each other during lunch. then i asked, "are you gonna throw that at somebody?" then he smiled saying "Yeah, and by 'somebody', i mean the people on our left." he pointed to the people on our left with his head. when i saw the people on our left, i noticed it was one of his friends' with her boyfriend (it was one of his friends that likes to throw food a each other). after that we went our seperate ways; going to our class. i didnt get to see him throw the carrots... *pouts*

...and so i used that event and put it in the omake(?)! XD
