Ch.5-Sleep tight and Good night, 30 hr. famine end
==== 7:30 at school ====
Running, chasing, dashing
His breath was quick and shallow as he continued to run along that never-ending road of misty darkness. Brown eyes showing fear and horror, he glanced behind himself every so often, making sure his pursuer was nowhere in sight, but he always knew that 'it' was not far behind, it never was. He was able to hear his evil ringing laughter, that smell of that disgusting juice he always carried around. Yes, it was true horror.
Wherever he went, the monster was never far behind; it watched him with its dark eyes, carrying that evil juice and that all-knowing notebook. The smell of his latest juice filled his nostrils, and he was instantly engulfed him in terror. He had to do something to escape, and fast before all was lost.
He quickened his pace, but suddenly a bright glow was glowing in front of him and immediately all hope was lost. Turning around quickly, he tried to run back the other way, but a firm hand of the monster was placed upon his shoulder, allowing no escape. Turning around, he was able to see the smirking face of the monster, glasses glowing with an evil aura and holding onto a glass cup, which held thick green brownie liquid, bubbles flowing over the top.
===
"Damn you Inui!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!" Kaidoh Kaoru cried out as he awakened form his terrible nightmare. Sweat covering his usual calm face. Looking around, he spotted a confused looking Inui not far away with 4 of the Seigaku regulars, Ryoma, Fuji, Kawamura and Eiji.
Embarrassed, the crimson-cheeked Kaidoh hissed, standing back up on his wobbly feet. [Damn, Inui's even taken over my mind, I'm going crazy] Shaking his head, he approached the group, watching as all eyes were gazing upon him, "What?!"
"Nothing" Fuji replied, smiling as he watched Inui take out his notebook, scribbling some fast notes in it.
"Ahh, it seems like Kaidoh is dreaming about me, interesting data. Very interesting" Inui paused for a split second, "Kaidoh are you in love with me?"
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaidoh yelled out, "I'm straight! Straight I tell you! STRAIGHT!!"
"You've broken my heart" Inui mumbled as he watched the babbling Kaidoh. This was a once in a lifetime scene, seeing Kaidoh babble on non-stop about being straight.
==== Meanwhile at Echizen's house ===
"Ahh! I think my son has finally found the true meaning of life!" Nanjiro stated, as he looked up at the stars, his cheeks red and his head dizzy.
"What do you mean?" Nanako asked as she passed by, casting off question marks of many different colors. Placing down the laundry basket filled with the newly cleaned clothes she sat down next to the drunken looking pro tennis player.
"The meaning of life is-" Nanjiro seemed to have dazed off, his cheeks becoming even redder by the second, "Dating, Woman and Se-"
Nanjiro wasn't able to finish off his sentence. Why? A fairly large laundry basket with many clothes in it had flown over to Nanjiro. Knocking him out unconscious, clothes lying on top of him in a big heap. His eyes going swirly eyed.
"Baka"
===== Back at the school (7:34) ====
"I AM STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaidoh took in a deep breath as he slouched; falling down onto his knees, "Damn it! Have I gotten the point across?!"
Since Kaidoh barley ever blushes, Fuji decided to see how red Kaidoh could get, how? By playing stupid of course.
"So apparently, you're straight, but you like Inui" Fuji stated as he played the innocent act. Gaining a sighing Ryoma, laughing Eiji, sweatdropping Kawamura, scribbling notes Inui and a flaring Kaidoh.
"I DO NOT LIKE INUI-SENPAI!!!!!!"
"So you mean you're gay but you just don't like Inui?"
Kaidoh apparently was burning up, so guess what happened? Kaidoh took the nearest thing close to him and started strangling it. Poor Ryoma was now being strangled to death for no reason at all.
"Ka-Kaidoh-senpai" Ryoma croaked out as he felt himself getting dizzy, his cap flying off his head, revealing his swirly eyed eyes.
"HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
"Hoi! Our Ochibi-chan is being strangled!" Eiji stated as he pointed a finger towards the two. Apparently his hyperactive self had started to cool off . . . slightly. Grinning the acrobatic player decided to play the hero of the scene, "NYA!!! SUPER EIJI TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!!!!" Eiji ran towards the blushing snake and the swirly-eyed chibi.
"So Kaidoh, you mean that you're a person that goes straight to the point? And you're trying tos ay that you want to ask Inui out?" Fuji asked feeling as a small grin escape his lips. Oh, this was maybe even better than teasing Yuuta! Oh yes, speaking of Yuuta, Fuji decided to take out a picture of his dear brother for the blushing snake to see, "Here Kaidoh! You can take Yuuta into consideration as well!! You're at least better than that Mizuki which tried to kill my brother!"
"HISSSSSSSSS FUJI-SENPAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaidoh roared, releasing the poor 1st year regular, watching as he crashed into the dashing Eiji whose eyes seemed to be shimmering with stars.
"Eh, Fuji, maybe you should stop teasing Kaidoh" Kawamura said as he looked around his comrades, "Maybe-"
Suddenly, a warm large racket was placed into Kawamura's hand, releasing his flaming self, "COM'ON BABY! LET'S SEE WHAT YOU BOYS CAN DO!!!!"
Inui smirked as he continued scribbling notes in his notebook, zipping back up his tennis bag that stood beside him.
=== Couple minutes later (7:50)===
Oishi groaned as he rubbed his aching forehead in pain. What was that noise that was all around him? Placing his forearm against the cold gym floor to life himself up, Oishi's eyes adjusted to the gym room.
"HISSS! STRAIGHT! I AM STRAIGHT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE MEAAING OF STRIGHT?! AND NO I AM NOT IN LVOE WITH INUI, MOMOSHIRO OR ANY GUY!!!!!!!"
Oishi cocked his eyebrows, There was someone gay among the Seigkau regulars?! Being known as the 'Mother of Seigaku' Oishi would not allow such a thing to happen in his team so he had instantly gotten up n his feet and rushed towards where the conscious regulars stood.
"BURNING!!! YOU SURE KAIDOH???" Kawamura's booming voice echoed throughout the gym, as he wrapped his arm around Kaidoh's shoulders, "A MAN DOES NOT GO BACK ON HIS WORDS!!"
"Super Eiji to the rescue! Ochibi-chan! You alright?" Eiji examined the swirly-eyed prodigy.
"Interesting data"
"Kawamura is right. A man does not go back on his words, we won't want you to regret it Kaidoh" Fuji teased, "We all know your blossoming love for our dear 'data collector'"
"HISSSSSSSS"
"Kaidoh's gay?!" Oishi cried out, as he finally understood what was going on, well, at least kind of.
"NO!!!!!!! I'm STRAIGHT!!!" Kaidoh huffed out, apparently tired of this conversation.
"Then what's this talk about being gay?" Oishi frowned; making up rumors was not nice,
"OISHI'S ALIVE!!!"
Oishi casted off a big question mark as he turned around to face the sound, finding a dazed out Eiji running up to him.
"AHHH!!!!!"
PLOMP
====== 8:30 =====
All 9 now conscious members that participated in the 30 hr. famine gathered around in a circle outside under the stars in the tennis court. A single Ponta can lying down on it's side in the middle. The circle went like this: Inui, Fuji, Eiji, Kaidoh, Kawamura, Momo, Echizen and then back at the start with Inui. Tezuka laid somewhere in the background, unconscious.
It was silent
Quiet
Crickets chirped
The Gymnasium lights glowing high up above them
The-
"Nya! Let's get started In-ui!" The energetic sugar high (Without the sugar) acrobatic player, Kikuamru Eiji cried out as he tapped his fingers against his cheek impatiently, "Nya, Oishi, what do you think?"
The green looking Oishi just nodded his head in a daze, "My stomach hurts . . ."
"Mine too" The large 2nd year powerhouse, Momoshiro Takeshi agreed as his left hand held upon his throbbing stomach, "I'm gonna puke, sheesh, how's Tezuka doing?"
"Still unconscious" Tennis tensai, Fuji Syuuske answered as he peered over to his tennis caption, who's face seemed to have changed colors, from purple, to blue, to yellow, to green and them back again, repeating the cycle, "Inui you could really win an award for your drink, Tezuka's changing colors"
Inui grinned, "T'was the point"
Sweatdrop Sweatdrop
"Inui-senpai, why are we gathered around a can?" The chibi regular asked as he tucked his cap so that it covered his eyes, apparently, getting tired of sitting around. The young prodigy was lucky enough to be able to find after he had regained back his senses from Kaidoh's lil 'let's strangle somebody moment'
"He, he, he"
Kiadoh cocked his eyebrows as he glared towards Inui, and the large beaker full of his stomach-hurting evil juice that stood beside him. Something was going to happen, and it involved those drinks . . . and anything that involved his drinks meant pain, horror and sickness.
"Eh, Inui, let's get started" Kawamura said slightly annoyed as he nudged Inui on the shoulder. Feeling as something large was placed into his hand, he grinned, "WHA HA HA HA!! COME ON BABY! I AM BURNING!!!"
Kaidoh's eyebrow twitched, watching as Kawamura started to fling the racket around.
CLONK
Well, there it goes, hitting Inui . . . against the head . . . quite loudly.
"Well, let's get started!" Inui's voice suddenly stated, interrupting the silence that had suddenly befallen over the regulars when Kawamura had hit the data collector on the head with his racket. Inui's skull must be pretty thick . . .
"We're gathered around a Ponta can" Momoshrio stated, "What are we suppose to do? Dance around it wearing those hulla-hulla clothing stuff?"
Images of himself and his friends dancing around a Ponta can, wearing those hulla-hulla outfits instantly made himself shutter and he instantly shut off the images.
"Not a bad idea" Inui grinned, watching as daggers were instantly shot at Momo, "But no, we're going to tell ghost stories"
"Around a PONTA CAN?!" Momoshiro and Eiji cried out in unison, gaining a cocking eyebrow Inui, who was holding out a pitcher of that evil juice.
"This is interesting" The tensai tensai placed his finger against his chin, thinking of any good ghost stories.
"Ghost stories around a Ponta Can?" Eiji's voice was small and timid, he wanted to shrunk into some deep dark corner, he didn't like ghost stories, "Why don't we just forget about the idea, I mean, aren't ghost stories suppose to be around a 'campfire'?"
"Yeah, it'll be just too awkward for it to be around a Ponta Can" Kaidoh quickly agreed, only to gain a smirking Momo.
"Ahh! You don't need to worry Viper, you have Inui-senpai to take care of you" Momo stated with a mischievous smile. He had heard all about the 'gay' talk the regulars were having when he was still unconscious, from Ryoma. Too bad he wasn't there, to see that happen. Damn! If he were there, he would've recorded it!
"I AM STAIGHT!!" Kaidoh seemed like he was about to rip his hair off in frustration.
"Okay, guys, enough about the gay talk, Kaidoh's mad enough as it is" Oishi stated calmly, though he himself couldn't help but feel slightly suspicious.
Inui, who didn't seem at all affected about the 'talk' continued on with his explanation, "Apparently, the traditions was for Ghost Stories to be told around a Campfire, but since the school won't allow us to build a fire on the school grounds-"
Don't we all just wonder why?
"- I decided to substitute a campfire with a Ponta Can"
Twitch, twitch.
Everybody's eyes twitched slightly.
"A campfire and a Ponta can, what great similarities" Ryoma stated sarcastically as he laid down on his back, examining the gymnasium ceiling, ignoring the evil twinkle in Inui's eyes. Everybody's gaze was upon the chibi regular, except for Kaidoh who had decided to take this chance and run for it.
"Eh? Where'd that damn Viper go?"
=== Kaidoh===
[Ghost stories, there a bunch of stupid fairytales, that's all, I'm not afraid of them, no way am I afraid of such things] Kaidoh thought to himself over and over again as he walked around the school, his head facing the marble floor so he had no idea where he was going, maybe if he was lucky, he wouldn't crash into a wall, [Ghost stories equal Fairytales which equal to made up stories. Ghost aren't real, they aren't real, they aren't-]
CRASH
BANG
SIZZLE
Kaidoh cursed under his breathe as he rubbed his hurting head, glaring towards the wall he had crashed into. Feeling as the light around him started to flicker, Kaidoh instantly froze as he closed his eyes tightly, [Ghost aren't real, Ghost's aren't real, Ghosts aren't real. Ghosts-]
BOOM
The sound of a large lighting bolt was heard and Kaidoh instantly opened back his eye's looking for the nearest window only to find out that it had started to rain, [This . . . is a bad omen]
Seeing as something moved outside the window, Kaidoh stopped, dropped and rolled, like what people did when they were on fire. But apparently Kaidoh wasn't on fire, so why was he doing such a rutine? He didn't want the 'thing' out there to see him, so if he stopped, and dropped he was low on the ground to be out of sight. If he rolled, he would be able to get away and enter the nearest room.
=== Back in the gymnasium ===
"It's lighting!! We're gonna die!!! The gym's DARK"
"Eiji-senapi! Calm down, it's only a storm"
"Yeah, Momo's right, and the electricity just went out, it'd be back in no time"
"Ahhhh!!!" The scared Neko-chan cried out as he started running around the gym, hands upon his ears, saying the words, "La, la, la, la, la" eyes, tightly shut.
"Grrrr"
Everyone stopped as they heard the weird noise, excluding Eiji who happened to be continuing to run around the room.
BOOM
A flash of lighting hit, brightened up the room for a split second with its glow. Allowing the regulars to see what the noise came from. Eyes went wide in shock as their feces whitened. There, a few feet away from them stood a purple looking monster with glasses and light brown hair, his skin . . . purple.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
==== Back to Kaidoh ====
Kaidoh huffed and puffed, as he finally was able to roll into a classroom safe and sound, without anything attacking him. Brushing the sweat that covered his face, the Snake-master decided to explore the classroom a bit to see where he was.
BOOM (A bolt of lighting cam striking down, brightening up the room for a split second like always)
Okay, so he was in a room with desks, a whiteboard, tables. Not a surprise.
Squeak!
Okay, now what was that?
Looking around, well at least trying to, Kaidoh felt his way around the room. His hands tangled with something cold and . . . well cold. Frightened, Kaidoh quickly tried to get his hand back, only to find himself sprawled down on the floor. The cold item that had caused his fright, lying on top of him
Kaidoh screamed.
====Back in the gym =====
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Seigaku regulars all ran around the room fright upon their faces with the exception of Fuji, Inui and the sleeping Ryoma, who all seemed too calm to be true.
"It's a monster! It's going to eat us all!!"
"La, la, la, la"
"Calm down everyone! It's okay!"
"La, la, la, la"
"Baka senpai's" Ryoma muttered as he turned around, lying on his side
"I'm never going to eat another hamburger in my life!!!!"
"BURNING!! Com'on Baby! Fight me you evil purple monster!"
"La, la, la, la"
"Would you all be quite, or do you want to run 100 laps around the field?"
Pasue.
Silence
BOOM. There it was, the great thunder that lightened up the room for how long? A split second of course, allwimg the regulars to have a good look at the 'monsters' face.
"Ah, Tezuka, It's glad to see that you're awake" Fuji stated calmly, watching as his teammates mouth drop open, "you happen to be purple"
"Purple?" Tezuka looked down at himself, "INUI?!"
Inui sweatdropped, "Um . . . he, he, he?"
"La, la, la, la"
CRASH!
===== 9:30====
"My head hurts! I'm wounded!!!" Eiji cried out as he continued to apply bandages all over himself, although he didn't seem to be bleeding. At all.
"Eiji-senpai, you're wasting all the bandages," Ryoma stated as he yawned, finally awake form his nice sleep in the dream world.
"Ugh, interesting data" Inui groaned out, scribbling something in his notebook. Squinting as he wrote. It was quite hard to write, especially if you had a black eye, and messy hair.
"Tezuka, don't you think you went too far" Oishi sweatdropped, looking towards the beaten up Inui, whom still seemed to be trying to write down his data
"Too far?" Taking a glance towards Inui, Tezuka kept on his stern face, "No, not really, I told him something was going to happen if he made me drink that stuff"
"Whaaa, I'm hungry!"
"Boar"
"Who are you calling boar?!"
"The person who seems to be standing right in front of me with a hungry stomach"
Stomach growls could be heard from the gym.
"ECHIZEN!!" Eiji cried out, throwing his pillow towards the chibi boy, but his aim was off and instead it hit Momo.
" Eiji-senapi!" Momo through back a pillow at Eiji, who ducked, allowing the pillow to hit Kawamura who stood behind him.
"Pillow fight!"
THE END
A chibi Inui pops out in the scene: "Guess what? I won the Kawamura Sushi feast ticket! Why? I was the only one who didn't fall!!"
Chibi Ryoma: Hey! Give me that ticket! I never fell down cuz of that drink
Chibi Eiji: Same here!
A cloud of dust forms and a fight is going on inside it.
Chibi Fuji: Ahh! My dear Yuuta! Want to see pictures?
Everyone: ((sweatdrops))
