Defy

Chapter 12

Author Notes: Let's get to the point, i'm obsessed...and i have no regrets, I will live and die for the Jyugo x Uno ship as well as this series lol. Ok let's get going. i do not own Nanbaka.

3rd P.O.V

The next morning was quiet, too quiet and that made Hajime's stomach tighten painfully. "Time to wake up you-" Immediately the intimidating guard was hushed, and that puzzled him. Nico and Rock were awake?

Those two slept like the dead, it usually took ages for those two to wake up and get out of bed. Even more so, he didn't hear any chatting from Jyugo or Uno, the pair that would under normal circumstances be up and about.

"The hell are you...oh." His brain short circuited for a moment, unable to make sense of the situation at hand. From the stuttering laugh he heard from Number 25, he was probably going to be teased for his reaction, but right now he just couldn't help it.

It was actually a miracle that he wasn't blushing at the sugar sweet scene before him. Jyugo and Uno were still in bed, slumbering peacefully away with arms wrapped around each other comfortably.

They were still clothed, thank god, but Jyugo was nestled gently into Uno's larger body. "Come on Hajime-have a heart and give them a few more minutes!" He was struggling being able to speak, still flabbergasted, for once not sure what to do.

"Fine-just this once. Wake them up in no more than five minutes!" Nico cheered quietly in his spot as Hajime walked away, muttering under his breath. Rock raised an eyebrow as his green haired friend/pet looked at the sleeping couple.

Happy as could be. "Nico?" The younger teen sighed blissfully. "They're so cute~ It's just like in an anime!" Typical Nico, his friend chuckled. "Well I'm glad for them, it's about damn time they got together."

Things finally seemed to be going well for Jyugo, and the other two were so happy for them. But of course five minutes came and went, and they had to be cruel and ruin the loving moment. Neither of them wanted to...but it was either them or Hajime.

"Uno, Uno you and Jyugo gotta get up!" Rock shook the blond and pink haired boy's shoulder, Nico doing the same for Jyugo. Though Jyugo refused to budge, completely blacked out, Uno opened one eye.

Grumbling a little, he was still tired dammit. "You and Jyugo need to get up man, Hajime's gonna be back any second to drag us to breakfast." Blue eyes wide he looked down, finding Aki right next to him.

A blush coated his cheeks, both from the memories of last night and from the fact that his fellow prisoners were giving smug, cheerful looks. "Ah-huh. Jyugo, hey, it's time to wake up. Come on!"

He was so tempted to call his lover her given name, and he almost did by mistake, but he corrected himself so fast that no one even realized. "What Uno?" Still laying on his side, Jyugo stretched, cracking yawn passing through his lips.

"W-we gotta get up now." Uno swallowed the lump in his throat, she looked so cute and vulnerable like that, and he was fighting a hard battle of controlling himself. "Yeah yeah." Opening his multicolored orbs Jyugo pushed himself up, a small blush rising as he takes in the position he was just caught in.

As well as the close cheeky grin staring right back at him. "Morning beautiful." Panicked he squeaked he fell backwards, and Nico and Rock couldn't hold it in anymore. They laughed. Full belly aching laughter filled the area, as Uno and Jyugo, as embarrassed as they were couldn't help but laugh at themselves also.

Hajime had his back against the wall, out of sight with a cigarette in his mouth. A small smirk tilted upwards-it left as quickly as it came when he approached, back to business. "Get up idiots. Time for breakfast."

With the fun time over they formed a single file line as they left, Jyugo giving the supervisor a small smile as he passed. Uno who was ahead of the two turned back to find the guard giving a small nod and smile of his own.

It was a warm sight, maybe Uno's instincts and original impression of Hajime was right after all. "Hurry up inmates! I don't have all day!" He wasn't such a bad guy. "Do you want me to get Yamato to start your training early?" But he was still an ass.

Everyone picked up the pace, their stomachs rumbling in anticipation. "I can't wait to see what Shiro has made today!" Jyugo snorts as Rock all but drags him to the caf, but jumps as confetti poppers go off.

"Surprise!" Blinking away the sparkles and rainbow blizzard of paper Jyugo finds himself gasping in awe. The entire cafeteria was transformed, covered with all sorts of steamers and balloons. "What!?" There were several people there, all familiar faces.

Honey, Trois, Kiji, Liang, Upa, Qi, Inori, Samon, Kenshirou, Dr. Okina Otogi, his wife Kazari, their robot daughter Kaguya, Shiro(of course) Seitarou, Yamato, Tsukumo, and even Musashi. All of the people he's met and friended were here.

Off to the corner Momoko and Mitsuru were leaning against the wall, observing with smiles as Jyugo gets hugs and congratulations, though he still has no idea why. "Consider this a celebration for recovering from the medical ward as well as your birthday gift." Eyes wide in shock the raven haired boy tilted his head up.

Meeting Hajime's unwavering gaze. "My...birthday?" He hasn't celebrated it in years, with him constantly entering and leaving jail, he had forgotten all about it. "Come on Jyugo! It's time to party!~" With a bright smile the group eat and chat. Enjoying themselves.

It was part of the Nanba prison tradition that any birthday would be celebrated, and certain rules be broken, with the warden's permission of course. "So it turns out Number 11 accidentally found out." Momoko kept her passionate eyes on Hajime, though she still listened.

"Could've been worse, as it seems he cares greatly for Number 15." Personally Momoko had no issues with them finding out, as she had been trying to get Aki to open up and make friends for the last couple years.

She didn't really approve of the teen constantly getting herself into trouble with these jail breaks, but no problems with falling in love. It was a wonderful thing. "Any news on Elf?" Mitsuru grinned, handing her a file. "We finally found the bastard and he's locked up in the underground cells."

Her eyes widened for moment, before turning sinister. "Good. I'm off to go see him." Pushing herself away from the wall she makes her way out of the room, glancing over her shoulders she takes one last look at the little party going on.

Smiling softly as Jyugo is found laughing and for once acting like the kid he is supposed to be. Straightening her shoulders she marches on, no one took notice of her absence and that was just fine. It meant she had more time to speak to her new prisoner in custody without disruption.

"Alright guys-I vote we play some games and get this shindig really started!" Mitsuru jumps into the fray, a sadistic grin forming as he grabs some a bunch of cups. Making a show of filling them up with the various candies laid out on the table.

He was up to no good, especially as he handed the cups of treats to everyone. "Let's play never have I ever~" In agonized harmony many members of the party groaned, afraid Mitsuru would do something like this.

Jyugo tilted his head, twisting around in confusion. "What's that?" It was exactly what Mitsuru was waiting for as he saddled up to Jyugo's right, slinging an arm around his shoulders.

"It's a fun game Number 15. We each have a cup of goodies and we go one person at a time, where you start with 'never have I ever...' Then say what it is you haven't done. Anyone who has done it has to eat the a treat from the cup. Last one standing wins!" It sounded pretty simple.

Of course though there was always a twist. "What's the catch?" Mitsuru loved how naive and innocent poor little Jyugo was. "Well I figured since it's such a special occasion we'd have a little fun-three winners, two prisoners and one guard, can boss any one loser of their choosing for a whole day starting tomorrow~!"

Trouble with a capital T. "Hell no!" He received protests and refusals all around, especially from his colleagues. "Don't be stupid Mitsuru, who would play such a dumb game!" But he knew how to play everyone like a fiddle.

"What's the matter boys~ Afraid to play? Just think about it like this, if you win you get a slave for an entire day. Of course the demands and orders would have to be appropriate, but honestly I don't see the harm. But if you wanna be little bitches about it..."

Suddenly there were fiery auras in all directions, just the reaction he was looking for. "Who said anything about backing out!" He knew if he hit their pride they'd Have to jump in. "Sounds like fun!" The prize wasn't too bad either.

As in some way or form everyone had some sort of rivalry or desire...With Hajime he had a lot of people he would love to order around. He could force Jyugo to stop his stupid little escape tricks-or he could boss around Goku who's been pissing him off lately...there were lots of options for him.

Then there were people like Uno and Honey, who push each other's buttons every chance they have. And both imagined horrible ways to torture the other should they come out on top. "But why only one guard win?" Mitsuru waved his finger back and forth towards Nico.

"As guards we boss you inmates enough as it is. Wouldn't be fair if by some way all the winner slots got taken by them. So top two prisoners and guard to remain standing wins~"

The air was sparking as everyone was in, though Seitarou, Nico and Jyugo found themselves slightly intimidated with the sheer intensity. The goofy man in the black shades lifted his cup high into the air, as if proposing a toast. "Since this is My idea, I'll start us off~! Never have I ever...worn a dress!"

Already he was trying to poke fun at the groups masculine pride. Everyone stood gaping as Jyugo, Musashi and Tsukumo each took a bite of their candies. "Ok what's the story with you three?" Tsukumo brought his hand up, making a sign with it.

"A ninja must be capable of all types of skills-including disguises in order to succeed in a mission." It was a good example, though Tsukumo avoided Jyugo's gaze, though the raven haired boy couldn't understand why.

Despite Tsukumo appreciating Jyugo's words of encouragement to be himself-he wasn't ready to take that leap yet with his fellow convicts. "Well that makes sense! Musashi? Jyugo?"

Both shared a gaze...unsure how to answer. Finally Musashi breaks, sending a little smirk Jyugo's way, making him narrow his eyes with suspicion. Just what was he going to say?.

"Back when I was little I had a sister, she was a real tomboy because a lot of the girls at her school didn't like her, but she loved doing secret tea parties with her toys. Often times she dragged me in to join her-and made me dress up because as she stated 'Only pretty girls were allowed."

Everyone laughed at the tale. Though said 'sister' was blushing at the memory. It wasn't her fault that she only had guy friends when she was little! The girls at her school were mean! "That's so cute~ Alright Jyugo-fess up! Why did you wear a dress?" He bites his lip, thinking.

He couldn't give the true reason...so he had to improvise. Then a flash as an older memory came to him, becoming his saving grace as he told his story. It wasn't a lie so he felt no guilt whatsoever telling it. Though he did feel embarrassed.

"Uh...back in one of the prisons I was at, there were no prison uniforms for those under custody. I can't remember which country it was, but there was a lot of poverty, so we were given whatever clothes available. Unlucky me there were no more boy clothes for me so...i had to wear a dress."

His black painted nails reached into his hair, scratching the phantom itch as he avoided everyone else's eyes. "Wow, that's sad." Growling he snapped his head, unsure of who said that. "Shut up!" Satisfied, Mitsuru relinquished his turn, ruffling Number 15's hair. "Alright Number 15 it's your turn!"

He hummed, thinking. Right now he was Jyugo, who in terms of skills and experiences was pathetic, so essentially he could say anything. But he didn't want to cheat, since he was still a part of Aki. Who had more limited experiences than Jyugo ever did.

"Ok. Never have I ever...put on makeup!" Uno cursed his friend as he takes a bite. "Dammit." Honey, Trois, Kiji, musashi(again) Liang, and even Goku all took a piece. Swearing revenge towards his lover Uno smirked, knowing it was now his turn. "Never have I ever cut my hair."

Nearly everyone minus Nico, Seitarou, Liang, and Yamato had to grab a candy. From there things slowly starting getting worse. "Never have I ever gone to an amusement park!" As chaos began taking over.

As the statements start getting weirder and sadder with each turn gone by. "Never have I ever been sent to prison for committing a crime." Their pride, stubbornness and crazy personalities clashed.

"Never have I ever gone to school."

"Never have I ever had a girlfriend."

"Never have I ever traveled out of the country!"

"Never have I ever learned martial arts."

"Never have I ever used a gun."

"Never have I ever broken a bone."

"Never have I ever had sex!"
