Babysitting The Player Killer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, thank you for the reviews! I'm glad to hear that this fic is okay. On a completely unrelated note, I beat part one of the game today! Yay, me! I'm usually bad at video games… Here's Chapter 2. Keep those reviews coming (please!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. No Playing 'The World'!
"Hello," said Subaru to the kid. "Pleased to meet you."
"Hiya!" said Mimiru.
"Um, hi," said Tsukasa.
"It's such a pleasure to have you babysit me," said Sora in an obviously fake happy voice. Naturally, Mimiru fell for it.
"Really?" said Mimiru. "That's so COOL! You're such a nice person!"
"I always wanted to be babysat and not play 'The World' and eat disgusting vegetables and be isolated from my friends!" Sora said, still sounding happy and even smiling. I hope my face doesn't freeze like this, thought Sora.
"Is that sarcasm?" asked Subaru. "I really can't tell."
"Subaru!" said Mimiru angrily. "Don't be such a meanie!"
"Yeah, Subaru!" said Sora. "Don't be a meanie!" Subaru? thought Sora. She's named after a car? Wait, that's also the name of that girl from 'The World'. Weird.
"Is it just me, or is something wrong here?" asked Tsukasa. Nobody paid any attention.
"Anyway, I'm so glad that you're babysitting me!" said Sora. "I bought you a gift!"
"Thank you!" said Subaru.
"Not for you!" said Sora. "For the pretty girl!" Subaru gasped. Mimiru looked overjoyed. Sora still looked fake-happy. Tsukasa—well, nobody cared what was going on with Tsukasa, except for maybe Subaru and Mimiru.
"See?" said Mimiru. "Even little kids know I'm better!"
"Aw, Subie, it's okay," said Tsukasa. "You're pretty to me!"
"You mean it?" Subaru asked.
"I mean it," said Tsukasa. They hugged.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Mimiru. "Just because you were rejected doesn't mean you have to steal my boyfriend… wait, I mean girlfriend… no, I mean 'significant other'!"
"I'm not stealing I'm not stealing your 'significant other'," yelled Subaru. "I'm hugging my significant other!"
"No way!" yelled Subaru.
"Yes way!" yelled Mimiru. Tsukasa sighed. This was just like the child safety job, but nobody else seemed to notice. Hopefully, the kid wouldn't get killed like all of those kids before. Note to self, Tsukasa thought. Stay away from busy highways.
"What about ME?" whined Sora. "I wanna give her my gift!" Mimiru spun around.
"I don't want to waste my time on you!" Mimiru yelled at Subaru. "I'm going to get a present from my new friend! Because friends don't try to steal their friends' 'significant others'!"
"I dropped your gift down the garbage disposal," said Sora. "Could you put your hand in there and get it for me? I can't reach it."
"Sure!" said Mimiru, and prepared to stick her hand into the garbage disposal. Suddenly, a little angel appeared on Subaru's shoulder.
"You have to save your friend!" the angel said. "She's rather dumb, but she's your friend anyway!" A devil Subaru appeared on Subaru's other shoulder.
"Don't bother," said the devil. "She tried to steal your significant other!"
"What?" said the angel. "Do the right thing, save your friend! If you do what I say, I'll get promoted to Conscience, so you have to stop that kid!"
"Subaru," said the devil, "when Mimiru's gone, Tsukasa will be all yours! Oh, and angel Subaru, that robe makes you look fat!"
"Why, I never!" said the angel. "Devil Subaru, that was un-called for! I'm leaving!" Poof. Angel Subaru was gone.
"Well, I'm outta here," said devil Subaru. "Remember, darkness is your friend!" Devil Subaru poofed away. Regular Subaru sighed. This was so dumb!
Fortunately, before Sora could turn on the garbage disposal, Mimiru tripped over Tsukasa and fell backwards. Saving Mimiru was a good job on Tsukasa's part, because the Fanfic Cleanup Crew would have had to mop up all of the blood, and the gore would violate the Sacred PG Rating. Mimiru looked very shocked that the kid had tried to kill her.
"Betrayed!" she whined. "I feel so unloved! Like nobody in the whole world cares!" She went on like this for quite a while, but I'm sure you can guess what that was like.
"Hey, don't try to kill her!" said Subaru. "It's not nice!"
"She's right!" said Tsukasa, and stepped forward. He didn't notice that he was standing in the middle of a big circle of rope. In fact, all three babysitters were standing in the middle of a big circle of rope.
"And this isn't nice either!" said Sora, and pulled a cord. The circle of rope tightened around Tsukasa, Mimiru, and Subaru, then pulled them all up to the ceiling by one leg.
"Rope snares in the kitchen?!" said Subaru.
"Betrayed…" murmured Mimiru.
"Cool!" said Tsukasa.
"Exactly how is this cool?!" yelled Mimiru.
"I can see up Subaru's skirt!" replied Tsukasa. Before both girls could slap Tsukasa, Sora cut in.
"You guys are all gonna die!" he said. "I can finally be mean now! No more happiness! All the blood is going to your brains! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm going to play 'The World' now. Bye!" Sora ran upstairs to play 'The World' as Subaru, Mimiru, and Tsukasa all swore at him.
"Do you think he'll let us down?" asked Mimiru when Sora was gone.
"No," said Tsukasa. "He did want to kill us, remember?"
"He sure knows a lot of creative ways to hurt people," said Mimiru.
"To think that I once said you couldn't get hurt while babysitting," said Subaru. "And here I am, hanging by one leg from the ceiling."
"That's right," said Mimiru. "It's your fault we got into this mess! You betrayed me, too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!" Tsukasa looked around. Although all of the blood was going to his head, he noticed something very, very odd…
"The only reason I hang out with you is so I can look better by comparison!" yelled Subaru. They were now fighting about why their friendship was meaningless.
"Well, the only reason I hang out with you is so I can park in the handicapped spot!" yelled Mimiru.
"That was low! Take it back!" yelled Subaru.
"Make me!" yelled Mimiru. Suddenly, Tsukasa started to laugh hysterically.
"What's wrong, Tsukasa-sama?" asked Subaru. Tsukasa pointed at the refrigerator. There were some very violent drawings taped to the refrigerator door.
"Eeeew, yuck!" said Mimiru. "What kind of kid would draw that?" Subaru looked at the drawings and also started to laugh hysterically. "WHAT'S GOING ON?" Mimiru yelled. "TSUKASA, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!"
"Look at the signature," said Tsukasa between laughs.
"SORA?" read Mimiru, and also began to laugh. "He's 10?" They all laughed for a while, then were silent.
"We're babysitting a dangerous killer," said Subaru. "We need to be prepared for the worst."
"We have a more urgent problem!" said Mimiru. "How do we get down?"
Sora was entering his password to 'The World', when he heard a yell.
"TSUKASA, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" yelled Mimiru from downstairs. Tsukasa? Sora thought. Of course! There's Subaru, Tsukasa, and the other one must be Mimiru! Well, this is more than babysitter torture. This is—REVENGE!
"Ow!" cried Mimiru as Tsukasa and Subaru landed on top of her. Maybe chewing through the rope wasn't the best idea.
"Sorry," muttered Tsukasa. The two got off Mimiru, and they decided what to do.
"How about… Mimiru, you try to trap him in his room, Tsukasa, you can grab him, and I'll wait downstairs to catch him if he escapes," said Subaru.
"How come you get to make the plan?" whined Mimiru.
"Because when you made the plan, it ended in a car accident!" Subaru replied.
Before another fight could start, Tsukasa said, "Good plan! Let's go!" And they went off to trap the evil kid. They had made it to the bottom of the stairs when they heard Sora yell, "Suckers!" and saw him pull a lever. A large steel cage dropped over them.
"Betrayed again!" yelled Mimiru.
"We can't chew through this!" said Tsukasa.
"This means war…" growled Subaru.
