Completely random, really stupid…here is the next chapter.
Chapter 8: Attack of the Small Person
"Getting back to the game," Hao coughed. "Fine, I'll forget about this for now and let the fat midget go on ahead…but only and I mean only this time."
"So…I spin?" Manta asked as he looked at Yoh. He didn't think he would ever get a turn, considering how the others still hadn't gotten one themselves.
"Yup, go on ahead. Make it a good one," Yoh replied with a smile. "It just might be your only turn. You never know."
"Okay then. I guess I'll do it now." Manta twirled the old bottle until it stopped at Pirika.
"Me?" Pirka managed to say as she pointed a finger at herself.
"It's a first thing for both of us," Manta laughed. "You know what I'm going to ask you, so just tell me which one you choose."
Pirika closed her eyes and thought for a minute. What would be a good choice right now? She finally decided after a short while. "Truth."
Manta stroked his chin as he tried to think of what to say. "Uhh…what do you want to be when you grow up?" Everyone tripped.
"That's a stupid thing to ask!" Hao yelled with an arm in the air. "This fat midget knows nothing about this game." He closed his eyes and waved his hand in dismissal. "Get him out of my sight; he's an insult to this game."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lyserg replied sarcastically. "We'll get him out of your way."
Hao gave him a smile. "Why, Lyserg, when you said that I was ugly approximately 1 month, 3 weeks, 5 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 51 seconds ago, I gave up any hope I had left for you to be accepted into society. But hearing you say that still makes me believe that there is some hope left." Hao cheerfully patted Lyserg on the back. "Keep it this up and you'll get somewhere!"
"Get your filthy murdering hands off of me," Lyserg screamed as he backed away, shocking Hao in the process. "As if I respect you at all! You killed my parents and for that you die!" With that said, Lyserg jumped straight at Hao with his pendulum ready. "I'll end you once and for all now," he growled.
"Trying to kill me? As if you even have a chance, Broccoli Tops!" A tall and red demonic creature formed right behind Hao. He pointed his index finger at Lyserg. "Spirit of Fire, attack!"
Excluding Hao and Lyserg, everyone watched without any idea of what they should do to stop them.
"Forget about my turn! What should we do!" Manta shrieked. He started to shake uncontrollably and hyperventilate. "They're going to fight in this house and there is nowhere we can hide!"
Yoh watched this and looked slightly puzzled at the whole situation. "Won't they mess up this house, Manta? Even after you just finished clearing, cleaning and refurbishing it all just this morning?"
"What!" Flames formed in Manta's eyes as he slowly picked himself up. "I Will NOT Let You Two Mess Up This House!" He began to charge at Hao and Lyserg.
They stopped fighting and turned their heads to the charging midget. "Huh?"
"OYAMADA STYLE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!" screamed Manta as he came flying through the air straight at them.
Lyserg and Hao were both sent flying across the whole room.
10 minutes later…
"Does it hurt?" the Iron Maiden asked as she looked down at Lyserg.
"Yes, very much," he replied as he clutched his stomach. "Owww…he kicks really hard.."
"Getting in-between that kid and his cleaned houses is dangerous," Marco confirmed as he stood behind Jeanne. "It's best not to do that again, Lyserg."
"Yeah, I noticed."
Meanwhile a bit further up to the left, Hao rested on the couch, fully wrapped in bandages. He had a blank expression full of horror plastered on his face.
"I have seen hell…"
"Really?" Yoh cocked his head. He was sitting right next to Hao. "I didn't think his kick would be that bad," Yoh laughed and then turned to where everyone was playing. "Manta and Pirika already went through their turn and Ryu's currently on his now." Yoh turned to look at Lyserg and Hao; he frowned. "I guess you two are out of the game now. I don't think you two can play." As he picked himself and got up, Yoh turned back to Hao. "I have to go and continue on with the game now. I'll check on you later."
"Wait."
"What is it, Hao?"
"The fat midget—"
"Manta, Hao, it's Manta."
"Yeah, Manta, whatever, just…watch out. The fat midget—"
"Manta."
"Okay, Manta, he's more than meets the eye…just…be careful."
"Uhh…thanks for the warning." Once again, Yoh turned to leave, but he couldn't help but feel as if he was forgetting something. He thought for a moment and then it soon it hit. "Oh yeah, Hao?"
"Hmm?" he replied miserably.
"Anna is quitting the game to take care of you. See? It's not all that bad, so cheer up."
"Really?" Hao had big round cute eyes. "Wait…" He eyed Lyserg from the corner of his eyes. "What about him? He could attack me while my back is turned...hey, my back is always turned since he's right behind me!"
"Don't worry," Yoh laughed. "He won't attack you like this and even if he wanted to, Jeanne and Marco are watching over him anyway. If you're bored, you can watch the game, we all are playing right in front of you."
"Good then," Hao said as Yoh was leaving. He calmed down a bit and then turned around to see how Lyserg was fairing. Lyserg had an evil glare while he was sharpening an axe on a big stone. Slowly, Hao turned away went back to his previous position.
"…This isn't good."
A/N: I know all these chapters are a bit short and all but I've been busy studying! My finals are coming up and there's been no time to update or anything. I can't wait until I get my Summer Vacation…
