The groups were drawn with one person from each team in them. As Birman
called out the names, Manx passed the lists out, one to each group.
"Okay, the first group will be... Omi... Tot... and Nagi... Um, can I get a re-draw? Either they'll kill each other or spend the whole three hours making out!"
"NO!" the boys cried in unison. "No re-draws!"
"FINE! Ok, group two. Farfarello, Yoji, and Hell. Group three. Ken, Schuldig, and Schoen. The last group is Aya, Brad, and Neu."
Manx laughed. "Face it, Birman. The whole reason we drew names was to keep the fights and make-out sessions to a minimum. The only group we may not have to worry about is Farfie's."
Turning back to the groups, Manx explained the rules.
"Each of you were given a list."
"But my group only got one," Yoji remarked.
"Shut up and let me finish. You are to legally acquire everything on the list and return back here within three hours. The first to come up with the most items... won't have to play in the next game. Good luck. "
With a collective sigh, the twelve of them walked out into the warm summer night air.
"Well, I guess the sooner we start, the sooner we can get back here..." Ken muttered.
Aya flashed the others a vicious smile. "Just so long as you don't start thinking that you have a chance in hell..."
"We'll see about that!" Nagi yipped.
They parted ways, each group confident that they would come out on top. No one wanted to see what sort of other games Manx and Birman had in mind.

Brad sighed and looked to Aya who had the paper crumbled up in his fist. "Okay. What's the first thing on the list?"
"Um..." Violet eyes scanned the page. "A license plate starting with 'E'."
The precog went pale. "MY CAR!" He started towards his BMW, Aya and Neu on his heels, only to find that the plate was still intact. "Okay, someone get me a screwdri... nevermind, there should be one in the glove compartment."
Aya fished through it until he came up with said object and passed it to Brad, promptly pulling it away when he reached for it.
"Do you WANT to partake of whatever else those wenches have planned?" Brad asked dryly.
Aya handed it over.
"The two of you are going to have to work together if you want to beat the others," Neu smirked.
The men glared at each other.
Neu rolled her eyes. "What's next, Abyssinian?"
"Three pieces of cat food."
"CAT FOOD?!" Brad yelped. "What sort of fucked up game IS this?!"
Aya paused. "I know where I can get some. You and Neu can look for the next items."
"Why don't we just make two more copies of the list?"
"You know, the girl's got a point..."
The three waited patiently as Brad scribbled down two more copies.
"This way," Neu explained, "we don't have to wait for someone to read what's next."
Crawford skimmed over the remaining objects as the trio walked off in search of cat food.
"Four sakura blossoms..."
"On it!" Aya ran back to the Koneko.
"But... what about... the cat food? Oh well... an American penny... there's one in my wallet... a picture of a police officer..."
"I'll get that," Neu replied.
Aya returned with the blossoms, cat food, and a box.
"The box is to put everything in so we don't have our hands full," he informed them. "What's next?"
"Neu went to get a picture of a cop. Next is... a box of Pocky, a bottle of Freude, anything Disney, a yaoi doujinshi, a movie ticket stub, a parking ticket, a credit card, and a picture of anything but the previously listed items."
"The doujinshi is easy. Omi has tons of those. The parking ticket... Yoji's glove compartment is full. I have a credit card... but I have no clue about the others."
"Alright, you get those. I'll see what I can find and whatever's left... let's pray Neu can find them."
~
"So... what are we looking for next?"
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"SHUT UP! If we get caught because of you, I'm going to telekinetically put you in orbit!"
"Um, Nagi, I thought Manx said we had to do this LEGALLY."
"What they don't know won't hurt them."
*sigh* "I hope you know what you're doing..."
"Almost... got it... Okay, I got it. Now run."
"Why?"
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KIDS THINK YOU'RE DOING? GET AWAY FROM MY CAR BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!"
"That's why."
"Oh."
A few blocks later...
"So *pant* Omi... what's next *gasp*?"
"Hmm... *wheeze* cat food."
"WHAT?!"
"It says 'Three pieces of cat food'. There's some back at the Koneko, but I don't want to go that far..."
"I wonder... Tot."
"Huh?"
"Can you find us three pieces of cat food? You know... the stuff kitties eat?"
"Nagi wants kitties?"
"No, not kitties... kitty FOOD. What a kitty EATS."
"Oh..." Tot paused, puzzled for a moment. "Okay!"
The boys watched as the green haired girl scampered away.
"Nagi, do you really think we can trust her?"
"I hope so... Heaven help us, I hope so."

"Just my luck that I'd get stuck with YOU," Schoen muttered, glaring at Ken.
"You think I'm enjoying this?! If it had been up to me, I'd be in Aya's group!"
Schuldig rolled his eyes. "Will the two of you knock it off? I don't want to put up with this for the next three hours. And if I have to, you're both going to wish you were dead."
Ken immediately started taking stock of their inventory. "Lessee. we got the license plate, the doujinshi, Freude, and the parking ticket. Where in the world are we going to find an American penny?"
"You're so stupid! How could they possibly stick me with you?!"
"I don't see YOU helping out here, scarface," the brunette snapped irritably.
"WHY YOU LITTLE..."
"Both of you SHUT UP!"
Schoen and Ken continued bickering, ignoring Schuldig.
"Alright... that does it... Schoen, go find an American penny. Siberian, get three pieces of cat food."
"HEY!" They stared at Schu with expressions akin to shock.
"Just go before I decide to mention to Manx that neither of you helped gather any of these."
"Going!" Schoen disappeared around a corner.
"Gone!" Ken sprinted down the street.
The telepath sighed. "Why did I get stuck with idiots?"
"ITAI!"
"Make that clumsy idiots..."
~
"OH MY GOD!"
"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"
"Isn't that indecent exposure?"
"MY EYES!"
Yoji looked around as people ran for cover.
Farfarello laughed. "Don't worry about them. All that matters is that you're hurting God dressed like that."
"Is there anything... Um... Are you... wearing anything... under that?" Hell asked softly.
"What?! And risk having the world see my underwear?! Absolutely not!"
"I think I'm going to be sick... Farfarello, have we found ANYTHING on that list yet?"
"Nope!"
"Are either of you even LOOKING?"
"Nope! These games hurt God, so I wanna keep playing."
Hell moaned. "Somebody shoot me..."
