Authors Notes- Heh. Rin doing DDR is a result of illness, a lack of sleep, and psychotic muses. If you want to blame someone, too bad. The song usedare 'Shining Collection' 'Rage Beat' and 'Spicy Marmalade' from the series Gravitation.. This chapter is short, and fillerish. Gonna make you wait for the last one.

Hatsuharu had gone shopping with Kagura, and Michiyo. When they came home, the sound of rapid playing dance music could be heard.

The field of view excels the dimension of panorama

A perfect mimesis that can only tremble

Acheap touch whose reaction is to look for secrets

You want to see them even if they are coldly obscene

Asea of gushing pleasure that alters the colors of the rainbow

That strikes into this world adding shadows to the fringed game

They were shocked to see Isuzu and Hiro in the living room, playing Dance Dance Revolution. Kisa sat there, cheering them both on. Hiro was losing, and badly.

Kiss shining, imitating loneliness

Cutting into space with entwined regret

Make me shining, fragments of my scattered heart

A radiance that surpasses hope

Kiss shining, we're kissing in my eyes

Melting away even the flower petals in our way

Make me shining, changing into the most exciting colors

That first shone in a vision

Hiro had given up, but Isuzu kept playing. She even talked to them as she played.

"Watching Mama, Michi-chan? This is one of the few games that she's good at. Isn't that right, Hiro?"

Michiyo laughed as Hiro sulked. "Keep it up, Rin. You'll trip if you don't pay attention. And then I'll be laughing."

The first part of the song finished. Isuzu chose to move onto the challenge level.

"You wanna bet? Watch this."

A different part of the song began to play.

Red soaked fingertips

Dye the atmosphere

With fluttering butterfly tears

And all is turned to sand

Shining, make you cry

They all watched as Isuzu kept getting nothing less than 'greats'. Needless, to say, she didn't trip or mess up once.

Isuzu turned and smiled at them.

"Who wants to be my next victim?"

Hatsuharu stood up in challenge.

"Lets see...You just played Shining Collection..."

Hatsuharu browsed through the songs, trying to find one.

"Here we go. The 'Rage Beat'."

As the song played, Hatsuharu quickly realised that he had no chance.

Before the drowsy noise blurs away tomorrow

Chase after those ambitiously resounding footsteps

He was losing worse than Hiro. He kept making mistakes. And the whole time Hiro and the others were silent.

That unfulfillable emotion that never settles down somewhere

Just decide to ignore it, then overtake it

Aim for the loophole in this shy, trembling society

For the place we keep struggling towards.

I want new world...

And as the final notes played, Haru sat back on the couch in defeat.

"May I try?"

It was Ritsu of all people. Isuzu smiled at him, and beckoned him over.

"Ritsu-san! She'll slaughter you!"

"Please, Ritsu-nii. Show them how its done!"

They all stared at Kisa. She blushed as she looked at Ritsu.

"R-Ritsu-nii is really good at this game..."

The song began.

Eccentricity is an obstacle

Passion is absorbing

Quite a nightmare isn't it

Boredom's fighting back

They were all in shock as Ritsu of all people was beating Isuzu. Hatsuharu and Hiro sat and stared with their jaws practically on the floor. Kagura and Kisa giggled.

Spicy Marmalade

In your own way

Throw off the chains if they've rusted

Vanish into the night

Even tonight so intently gazed upon

Becomes a phantom with the touch of a fingertip...

It was over. Ritsu beat Isuzu to the shock and dismay of the two boys. Kisa smiled as she gave Ritsu a hug. "I told you. Ritsu-nii is really good."

Isuzu started laughing at the expressions on their faces.
