I kinda feel like Ran after he takes a pill right now, easily annoyed, exhausted, and basically feel like sh*t. I joined the chess tournament. (One and a half day long -_-) Basically, I played against the people that were higher than me in my group. Seven people, five rounds, three people with higher scores. -_- a minimum of 2.5 points to advance. Do the math.

Anyways, since the AU story will probably take a while (ya know, cause I didn't get to write anything earlier, and homework), I'm just going to take the request.

AnimeWatcher001: Aww, thanks! Anyways, This might turn out different, since Wangnan and Viole kinda of have minimal interaction, mostly just Wangnan doing behind-the-scenes kind of stuff. Actually, Viole didn't interact with Team Sweet and Sour all that much.


"Phew!" Wangnan sighed, leaning against the railing. "We're still alive!" He grinned up at the sky, mindlessly twisting his ring around.

"Oi! Blonde idiot!" He glanced forward, seeing Prince approach him alongside Miseng and Arkraptor glaring daggers at Prince.

"What? Who are you calling an idiot, I'm the prince of this tower," Wangnan said, his voice raising.

"Stop your petty squabbling, you male monkeys," Ehwa walked past.

"What's got her irritated this time?" Prince muttered.

"Viole-nim," Miseng answered. "She's jealous of all the time he's spending with the princess."

"Speaking of such, who would have imagined that Viole had friends before that?" Wangnan said, glancing to the side.

"They'll be leaving soon, won't they?" Arkraptor walked over.

"Yeah," Wangnan answered. "It's a shame. They just saw Viole, and now they're going to leave."

"They're a rowdy bunch. Not the kind of people you'd expect Viole to stay with." Arkraptor continued, not seeming to hear him. "A FUG slayer with such loud friends? Anyways, we can relax now, right? I mean, Viole doesn't have the threat of having his friends murdered anymore."

"We'll still have to climb quickly to catch up to them," Wangnan replied, remembering his earlier conversation.

~Flashback~

"Yo~" The weird guy with short-cropped hair greeted him as he walked out of the room. "The hero of this workshop battle is finally awake."

"Haha. A hero... To be honest, I don't really remember much." He grinned sheepishly, reaching an arm behind his neck.

"No. It's all because of you. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have been able to do it. We are really thankful for that." The guy-Oh wait! His name was Shibisu, right?-Shibisu said. "Please take good care of Bam for us. The leader of sweet and sour team."

Wangnan blinked, stunned. Him? The leader? Once he overcame his shock, he focused on the other part. Wait. 'Take care of Bam'...? Oh right! That's Viole's original name. "Wh...What do you mean, take care of Bam? You're not going up the tower with Viole?"

"Well... that would be nice but... we already have D-class qualification. So we cannot go up the tower with Bam right now. We have to leave in three days for the test." Shibisu laid back on his arms, glancing up.

"D-class regular..." He murmured. Who knew Viole had friends on higher floors?

"If we were to meet again, it would be after you get D-class." Shibisu sighed, and Wangnan heard his teammates grumbling in the room. "Well...everyone is pretty bummed. We have goals of our own so... we can't stop. Hurry and catch up to us. Next time we meet, be stronger so we can have a match."

"... Have a match." Wangnan sweat-dropped. Against D-class regulars? With a princess of Jahad? No thanks.

~End~

He sighed, leaning back again. "...Take care of Viole," He murmured.

"What did you say oppa?" Miseng asked, glancing up at him.

"Nothing, it's just something Shibisu had said." Wangnan sighed again.

"It's weird, isn't it? Hard to imagine someone taking care of Viole." Arkraptor said. "The way they said it, it's almost as if Viole used to be the weakest amongst their team."

The four teammates fell silent, imagining for a second. A younger looking Viole, surrounded by teammates with higher powers.

Why am I coming up with monstrous images? Wangnan shivered, picturing monstrous figures, with snakes as tongues, and fingers that shot acid.

"No, it's just hard to imagine someone like YOU taking care of Viole." Prince pointed at Wangnan, effectively breaking the silence.

"Mr. Khun!" He saw Viole rush past to greet his former teammate. "Where are Mr. Ran and Mr. Nobic?" He smiled.

The three guys paused, blinking in surprise at his innocent smile.

"Viole-nim! You're back!" Miseng grinned, running towards the boy in the center of the room.

He's changed a lot. He was cold with us, and barely showed any emotion, but now he's grinning and smiling. Were we really such poor teammates? Wangnan glanced at Viole and saw him grin and pick up Miseng. Or was he just upset from being apart from his friends?

"Bam, we'll be leaving in two days to take the test." Endorsi walked up to him, blunt as usual.

"Oh. Good luck Miss Endorsi!" Viole continued smiling, glancing around the room with joy in his eyes.

"I'm sorry we can't go up the tower with you right now, Bam." Shibisu glared at Endorsi, only to receive a slap to the face.

"It's fine, Mr. Shibisu. I'm sure we'll catch up soon."

That doesn't seem right. He doesn't seem to mind he won't see much of his friends. Maybe it was the looming threat that was stopping him from being happy with us.

"Bam, I would advise you from going up with earrings here." Hatz walked over to them. "He's a rather annoying one."

"Mr. Khun is our friend, Mr. Hatz," Viole frowned lightly.

"Hey! Who are you calling earrings, Hara-kiri?" Khun yelled.

"Oh? I see you still have those horrid earrings on, earrings," Hatz snickered.

"Stop fighting you two," Viole said.

"Fine, I'll stop. But it's only because of Bam, not you," Hatz glared at Aguero, who just smirked.

Viole...Bam...Which one is his actual name? It feels as if 'Viole' was just an alias.

"Really? You want me to get your shoes? Go get them yourself, princess." Anak mocked, glaring at Endorsi.

"Shibisu! Get me my shoes!" Endorsi yelled at him from across the room. "Or I'll skin you alive!"

"Miss Endorsi, you shouldn't be threatening Shibisu like that," Vio-No, Bam said gently.

Everyone calls him Bam now. I suppose that that was what they used to call him.

"Black turtle! Crazy turtle is trying to burn me!"

Well except for him I suppose.

"What gator, are you afraid?" Khun smirked.

"What? You scamming turtle, of course I'm not afraid! I'm Rak Wraithraiser and-GAH!" Rak rushed off as Quotero rushed in, holding two balls of fire.

"He's afraid," Khun smirked.

"Mr. Khun, you shouldn't talk about Mr. Rak that way." Bam sighed.

"He used to be the peacekeeper, eh?" Arkrapto asked. "Why would FUG chose someone like that for the position as slayer candidate?"

"Cause he's an irregular," Wangnan said casually.

"Wait-WHAT?" Prince glanced at Bam and back at Wangnan.

"Quiet, you purple brat!" Ran muttered, walking past them.

It's weird. He's so happy surrounded by them, to the point where he's almost giving his own glow. He doesn't seem bugged by anything. I kind of understand the flamethrower now. I mean, he spent all that time with us, brooding and being practically emotionless, and one second with them and he's about as happy as Miseng. Wangnan observed them for a little longer before walking off. But it's his business. I shouldn't mess with it.

"Where are you heading off, Wangnan Ja?" Khun stood in front of him, causing Wangnan to jump.

"GAH! What was that for?"

"I always wanted to do that," Khun grinned.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll leave," Wangnan said, still deep in thought.

"First, could you tell me a bit about what Bam was like with you?" Khun didn't budge, blocking the way off.

"Why would you want to know?" Wangnan asked, slightly suspicious. "I mean, you're a slave driver! I still haven't forgiven you for the 'training' you forced us through."

"He's my most precious friend. I wanted to make sure that FUG hasn't changed him." Khun sighed at Wangnan's look of confusion. "He's more closed off now. He used to be bright, and would mostly just follow around and joke with us. Now it seems as if he's in another dimension. He spaces out sometimes, and I feel as if FUG still has a grip on him.

"..." Wangnan was still glaring, though it was slightly lighter now. Sighing, he gave in. "You know, when I first saw Viole, it was on the twentieth floor," He leaned back on the railing on the floor they were on. "I'd been repeating that test for a couple years. I'd been certain I'd pass that time."

Khun stood there, still staring at him.

"I entered the room and saw three bodies on the ground and a guy staring at me. And then my confidence dropped," Wangnan paused, hearing Khun mutter something.

"Like you had any in the first place," Khun snickered.

Cue glare for his comment.

"I managed to convince him to not eliminate me by saying he wouldn't be able to take on everyone by himself. So then I allied myself with the next three people who entered. Once Arkraptor entered, he tried to eliminate a couple of us. And stuff happened which lead to Viole, Arkraptor, and Horyang fighting. I thought that they would eliminate each other, but then Viole blasted the two of them on opposite sides of the room. That was when Arkraptor and Horyang teamed up. Long story short, he hurt them enough that they didn't bother him, but still conscious enough to stay in. Then he started to chase me. I had these expensive bombs with me, so I threw them at him.-Stop glaring at me already!" Wangnan threw his hands up to appease the glaring Khun.

"Anyways, shinsu bombs didn't work and he closed in on me, so I threw a- actually, let's skip this part!" Wangnan chuckled nervously. "So Viole, Miseng, Goseng, Arkraptor, Horyang and I passed the first part of the test."

"What did you do to Bam?" Khun said in a creepily calm voice.

"The next test isn't relevant. The summary is that Viole scored the highest, the ranker told him to pick teammates, he refused by saying he was FUG, and so on. Then the next 'test' started at midnight. Actually, I lost my ring when we were all bathing, Viole found it, gave it back to me, and Prince annoyed him. I guess he was pretty nice to me then. But yeah, Viole fought the ranker - and actually almost won. But some guy had killed my friend, and," Wangnan clutched his fist thinking of Nia.

"You wanted to torture the person slowly, probably by turning them immortal, and forcing the worst horrors on them and-" Khun was cut off by Wangnan continuing, pale.

"I sought him out for a deal, tricked him, and we all passed," He winced at the fact that yes, he had actually wanted to do that to Lurker. "We ended up forming the team. Viole had provided us with a place to stay, and yeah. But the whole time he was on our team, he was pretty cold and emotionless. I heard about FUG threatening to kill his friends if he didn't pass a test and all that."

Khun leaned against the opposite wall and sighed. "Dismissed."

"Hey! What do you mean, 'dismissed', you cocky guy! I gave you all that information of your precious 'Bam' and that's all you say?" Wangnan waved his hands around, yelling at Khun.

"...Bam knocked three guys unconscious. On his own," Khun sighed again. "I knew that he would be powerful, but that wouldn't be something he would do." He rambled on, not really seeing Wangnan.

"...I'll just leave." He pointed to the side and shuffled off.

What was that? It's almost like all of his former teammates thought that he was weak. But then why would they stay?

"Because he had a light around him," Hatz stated calmly. "By the way you're acting, you don't know you said that out loud.

"What? Wait, where did you come from?" Wangnan jumped again. Honestly, what is with his teammates and randomly appearing?

"Bam may not have been the most powerful, but he was the kindest. He helped me pass my test, and tried to help all of us. We hadn't expected him to have potential, but he did. And now look at him." Hatz continued. "Basically, you'd better take care of him. Or else you should expect to gain some piercings. In rather unfortunate places." Cue pointed glance.

"A-ah. Of course." Wangnan gulped.

Why are they telling me all this?

"And if you're wondering why we are telling you this, it's because you are the current leader. And we need someone to take care of Bam for us until we see him again." Shibisu walked up from behind them. "Look, we may be immature sometimes, but we do care for each other. And Bam brought us together. So consider it a favor back if you will. We don't want him to be betrayed. Or hurt." Shibisu glared at him.

"Immature?" Hatz raised an eyebrow.

"Bye then," Wangnan backed off.

So maybe Bam's different because he was betrayed before? And then he couldn't trust us that much, only his former friends? Ah, all this thinking is giving me a headache. I should go get some tangsooyook.


Okay. This is the best I could do in a day. I'll kind of explain in case they seem OOC. Let's face it, Khun cares a lot for Bam. Maybe he doesn't show it that much, but read what he said to Evan. And he gets really protective if Bam's hurt. So that he would be really annoyed at Wangnan. For Hatz, remember how he treated Bam in season one? Everyone else was like, meh. Earrings, not listening to Shibisu were all parts of that. But he was nice to Bam. And Shibisu is like that slightly wise guy with enough stupidity so that others don't care about what he says. And Rak running off was because of me rereading part of ToG and coming across that scene. Oh, and they're just considerably more lenient because they thought he was dead for so long. It wouldn't be the same, say, if they spent a couple of months together.

So instead of the one conversation, I put in a couple. Just not with Bam. Anyways, this one ended on a light-ish note! Yay!

Night~

...I just realized that that may or may not have been a slight play on words.^^
