Chapter: I Think I Lost Count or Messed Up Somewhere…
Subaru Vs. Seishirou
As if sensing the hostile thoughts being directed at him from Fuuma (Don't you love how many different names he has?), Seishirou flashed him a winning smile. Was it his turn already? He turned his smile on Subaru who glared back in response. It wasn't nearly as frightening as Fuuma's. What had he done to deserve that cold glare? It wasn't like he had killed his sister or any-- oh wait… He did…
Subaru walked calmly up to the machine and waited, and waited, and waited until Kusanagi picked the lighter out of Seishirou's hand and pointed to the machine where Subaru was beginning to look annoyed. Seishirou only looked amused. His little Sumeragi really wanted to get this over with. Or maybe it was the crowd that was gathering and whispering.
A young man was about to get onto the machine when he was pushed aside by the current assassin. He was the only one allowed to go up against Subaru. No punk would ever take that away from him.
Seishirou read the directions and put his on medium. It couldn't really be as hard as the others were making it out to be. Subaru pushed himself off the railing to set his on heavy. At this Seishirou turned to stare. He had seen Satsuki try hard and it really did look difficult, so why did Subaru set his that high?
"You can pick the first song Seishirou-san," he stated, not even bothering to look over at him. The whispering around the machine suddenly got much louder.
"Whatever you say, Subaru-kun," he said, earning another glare. Looking through the songs, one in particular caught his eye, 'Sakura'. He picked it and smiled, only realizing that something when Subaru mumbled him a good luck. (for those of you who think I'm making this song up, you're wrong. There's a few arcades with this new import of it that just came out in Japan. The ones I've seen are so imported that in the warnings it says 'Not for use outside of Japan'. XD)
The music started fast and went by just as quickly. Seishirou had failed within the first few seconds as Subaru went all out. Seishirou just gave up after his failure and watched as several 'God must be calling to you's sounded. Subaru was hitting every arrow that came along. As Subaru finished, Subaru was sweating slightly and the crowd was cheering loudly.
"Pick again Seishirou-san," he said while wiping his brow with the back of his hand. He proceeded to take off his jacket as Seishirou scrolled through the collection.
The next song was called 'Rhythm and Police' (Yesh! He's picking all hard songs! Mwahahahaha!). When he chose the song he got through the first half of it before failing. It was quite an improvement over the last one he had attempted. The only reason he really lost was because he got horribly lost watching the flashing arrows. Once again Subaru got a rather loud round of applause.
Subaru chose the last song without having to look at the scroll menu for it. He chose one called 'Max Unlimited'. The song, like the others, was horribly fast and complicated. Seishirou failed yet again, but said nothing.
The entire fiasco surprised the Chi and Ten no Ryu. They never suspected anything like this from Sir Angst-a-lot, the most solemn of their numbers. This didn't seem the right typ of game for someone who was always so closed off.
In the end Seishirou left with an 'E' ranking and Subaru with a 'AAA' (this means each note was perfect).
Kakyou overheard two girls talking as they passed. "Yeah," one said. "So is that why they call him 'God' here?"
"Well duh!" the other responded and continued walking.
"Hey !" someone yelled. "Can you do that again, but by yourself?"
"I'm out of quarters," Subaru said sheepishly.
"Here!" the person said, handing him two.
"Free-styling will cost you extra as will double padding."
He was offered three more quarters and began to dance again.
