Yo, minna! I'm really sorry to update so late (well I always do)! Just what I had said before, there are so many schoolwork, schoolwork. Grumble grumble. And I also watched the whole series of Cardcaptor Sakura (my favorite since I'm a 7 year old and now I'm already 13 turning 14! Lol, history, ne?) And was very hooked and was having a great hangover. I am really sorry it made me forget my ideas! Suu! Good thing I could still remember my ideas for this story. Ahehe!
About CardCaptor Sakura, squeals, ahee! It was really excellent! Ahh! I prefer all of you to watch it all over again! Ahh, I have a plan. After this story, Dreaming On The Radio, I'll try double story posting. While doing my RyoSaku fic, I'll do my CardCaptor Sakura fic as well. Umm, I mean I will continue my CardCaptor Sakura fanfic. Did you know that I posted it at a site and no one even noticed it? Suu, I'm so sad and led me in quitting at the said story. Ahee! Wish goodluck for me!
Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis Anime. I might have ruined their life if I do. Just kidding! And another thing, I also changed the objectives of the game. Ak, got to edit chapter 9 too! Gomen nasai!
"The objectives of this game are very simple. You should pick a number inside this bowl, and you should sit according to the number that you picked. The game will start after Number 1 picks another number inside the bowl. Number 1 will let the person he picked to choose either 'Truth' or 'Dare'. After answering, they will exchange seats. If he fails, he/she should drink the juice and should be evicted. If someone can't do a 'group dare', he should be evicted too. And the whole game continues until 2 players remain." Inui explained. "And the one who loses at those two persons will drink my Juice. Wanna try?" Inui smirked as his glasses gleamed.
Everyone is arranged at their corresponding circular seats.
Momo sat beside Tezuka, who was beside Kawamura, next was Yume, and then there was Eiji. Next to Eiji was Kaidoh, and then there was Ryoma, who sat beside the always-smiling Fuji. After Fuji was Inui, and then it was Tomoka, who sat beside Oishi, and was Sakuno. They sat in a circular formation, which means Sakuno sat beside Momoshiro.
"Oi, Momo, are you ready to pick up a number?" Inui asked while lifting a glass bowl beside him. He reached the glass bowl to Momoshiro, with his eyeglasses gleaming. Momoshiro smirked and looked at Eiji. Eiji smiled naughtily after he received Momo's glance and nodded.
"Inui-sempai.." Momoshiro started speaking. Inui wondered and faced his former teammate. "What is it?" he asked.
"I would like to ask if we can ask Kin-chan to join in our little game." Momoshiro grinned sheepishly and gave out a suspicious glance to Ryoma and Sakuno. Ryoma was sweat dropped, while Sakuno was left clueless.
Inui's mouth was left gaped. He looked at Kintarou with a sadistic grin pasted on his features. "Kin-chan!" he called on. Kintarou quickly walked towards the lobby and wondered. "What is it?" he asked.
Momoshiro, Eiji and Inui smiled evilly. Kintarou was sweat dropped. "Eh, nani?!"
"Sit beside Ryuzaki-san!" the three of them yelled.
"Eh?!" Sakuno, Ryoma, Kintarou and Yume reacted in unison. Sakuno had visible spots of pink blush on her face, while Ryoma was having a time tugging his cap with an annoyed frown pasted on his face. Kintarou felt his heart beating while he takes the empty seat beside Sakuno.
Yume secretly pulled out his little arm and started moving her short prickly fingers set for Eiji. "Why sit beside Sakuno nee-chan?!" she said with annoyance while pinching Kikumaru's waist. Kikumaru's back arched and was sweat dropped. "Ano, ahehe…Yume-chan…" he spoke nervously. Yume raised an eyebrow.
"Neko nii-chan, I will never forgive you if something bad happens…" she said strictly. Kikumaru smiled sheepishly. "Hai…"
"Can we start the game now?" Inui asked while rubbing his hands together with a very weird expression on his face, the same expression whenever he wants someone to drink his newly formulated juice. Momoshiro smiled widely when he saw the glass bowl with papers inside it.
"I got it! Let's see…" Momoshiro yelled as he took the paper slowly out of the bowl. "Hmm…" he wondered while unfolding the closed paper.
"F-Fuji-sempai?" he read aloud inside the room. Everybody's ears were alarmed. So it was the scary tensai, ne?
"Eh? I was chosen too early…" Fuji said in a low voice, his face was still wearing his usual smile.
But I think it would be better if I was chosen to ask a question for Echizen. The scary tennis genius thought of while glancing at Ryoma, Sakuno and Kintarou, his usual smile was changed into a scary look.
Momoshiro noticed the I-have-a-plan expression on Fuji's face. His spine shrilled. "Eh, Fuji-sempai! Are you ready?" he asked quickly while crumpling the paper beneath his hands.
Stupid me! Why pick Fuji-sempai so early???!!! Momoshiro groaned to himself.
"Fuji-sempai! Truth or Dare?" Momoshiro asked. Fuji's smile grew wide. "I would like to choose 'Dare'." He answered.
"Dare, ne?" Momoshiro spoke while taking an evil side glance towards Kaidoh.
"What's that?" Kaidoh wondered when he felt something like daggers striking his back.
"Time to take revenge, ne?" Momoshiro mumbled. Fuji looked at him innocently. "Revenge?" he wondered.
"Fuji-sempai, I want you to tell us something scary. If you fail you are going to drink the Inui juice." Momoshiro said with a naughty smile creeping out from his features. Kaidoh's back arched when he heard Momoshiro's dare for Fuji. "Te-me…fshuuu…" Kaidoh's eyebrows twitched.
"Well, should I start now?" Fuji smiled. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and because the rest house was covered with woods beside it, the lobby became darker before. "First of all, let us close all the glass and wooden windows and pull off all curtains." Fuji asked with a sadistic smile flashed on his lips. Kaidoh's concentration was already disturbed, as well as the others who were busy closing the windows and the curtains. After closing all of the windows, and even the doors were closed, all of them settled on their corresponding seats.
"Anou, wait, I'm just going to close oba-san's room because she doesn't want to be disturbed." Sakuno said kindly while standing up and half closed the room's door near the lobby. "It's okay now." She smiled and sat down.
"Let's start. This story is about a little girl who happened to be lost on the woods…" Fuji started. Every figure was nervous, except for Tezuka's side, naturally, and everyone was actually thrilled even Fuji only said the first sentence. Kaidoh closed his eyes and when he did, he imagined a girl with long hair who was wandering beneath the woods. "They said that her spirit still continues to wander up to this time, and the persons who had encountered her said that her figure was like that of Yuki-onna, the snow spirit… each person who sees her tells everybody that they will sense this lady if they…"
-WHOOSH!
"Ack!" Everybody reacted when they felt a gush of wind. Yume's eyes were almost watery. "Eh, neko nii-chan, weren't all of the doors closed and all of the windows closed too? So where would the wind come from?" she asked while hugging Eiji's waist because of her fear. Eiji was almost biting his fingernails when he also felt the wind. "I don't really have an idea!" he answered and sniffed. Kaidoh was already holding his breath. Sakuno almost hugged Kintarou's arm, but both of them didn't noticed, except when Ryoma adjusted his cap and saw them. Tomoka almost jumped over Oishi, who was also shocked by the gush of wind that passed by. Kawamura slowly covered his ears, but Inui suddenly showed the cup of juice to him. It looks like the only persons who weren't affected were Tezuka, Inui and of course, the best story-teller, Syuusuke Fuji.
Fuji smiled evilly. Geez, this guy had all of the thrills. "Shall we continue?" he asked with a sadistic smile on his face. And that smile grew wider when he saw Echizen's reaction towards Kintarou and Sakuno. And then, after he asked his question, he received everyone's weak nods.
"… each person who sees her tells everybody that they will sense this lady if they hear someone cry." Fuji said. "And then?" everyone became anxious.
"Ya-me-te… stop…" a voice started crying. Everyone's heart started beating fast as they searched where the little sobs came from.
"Hoi, Fuji! Where did that came from???" Kikumaru started squealing. Kaidoh stood up and felt his knees becoming weak. "Oi Fuji-sempai, can you stop this?!" he said. Momoshiro's eyebrows started twitching. "Just listen, Mamushi…"
"They can even hear her…" Fuji's eyes lit up a little.
"Hear her…?" Everyone focused on Fuji's story.
"Scream." Fuji said and his face became serious.
"Scream?" Everybody said in unison. Yume almost hugged Kawamura. "At this rate… at this rate…" she started chanting.
"Yes, scream." He said. And then he looked at Eiji. Eiji nodded.
"How does this lady scream?" Oishi asked, his fingers twiddling each other. "At this rate I think I'm not going to last!" Yume mumbled while hugging Kawamura even tighter.
"You want to know how?" Fuji asked once more. Everyone nodded. "Then, Yume-chan, please look behind you." Fuji said with a serious look on his face.
"B-behind me??!!" Yume asked nervously. When she asked, she felt something that makes her spine be thrilled. And then she looked behind her. Not only her, but as well as the others.
Yume blinked several times.
"Boo!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHKKKK!!!!!"
"AAAAAHHHH!" Everyone screamed and even hugged each other when they heard Yume scream. Kawamura started covering her ears while chanting 'that's no good! That's no good!', Tomoka was caught strangling the close-eyed Oishi, the scared Kaidoh almost jumped when he heard Yume scream so loud, Momoshiro ended up grabbing Tezuka's hair, who happened to glare at Momoshiro when he did, and the childish Kintarou who was also shocked when he saw the image behind Yume thought that it was the oh-the-person-with-poisoned-claws while imagining something, and ended up hugging with Sakuno in fear. Sakuno also screamed, and she was about to strangle Kintarou's neck. Ryoma remained silent, but honestly speaking, he was also shocked, but not so much.
I saw this before. Ryoma thought of when he saw the faceless figure behind Yume.
"Ahahahaha! We caught you! We caught ALL of you! Nyahahahahaha!" Kikumaru Eiji laughed so mad after pulling out the faceless mask from his face. "Hoi hoi! Hehehehe! Nice one, Fuji!" Eiji grinned widely while giving Fuji a high-five. Fuji raised his hand to reach Eiji's dainty hands.
"Eiji!" "Kikumaru-sempai!" Everyone grumbled on their opposite side and yelled at Kikumaru, who was forming a peace sign with his hands.
"Neko nii-chaaan!" Yume protested and suddenly started pinching his waist again. Eiji started dodging her attacks and laughed out loud. "Ahahaha Yume-chan was almost crying a while ago! Nya!" Kikumaru blinked an eye. "Neko nii-chan is such a dummy!"
"I'm not a dummy! I am a person!" Kikumaru protested.
"I think it worked, ne?" Fuji smiled peacefully.
-CLAK!
"Eeeeeek!" Everyone reacted in unison when they heard a loud-banging noise near the lobby. All of them stopped on what they are currently doing. Everyone looked around and wondered.
"What's that?" they wondered. No one was even moving away from their designated places.
"She's here." Fuji opened his eyes seriously. Everybody blinked several times. "Who's here?" they asked.
-BLAG!
"What's going on?!" Tomoka reacted when she heard something. "That was another noise, ne? But no one is even moving… Neko nii-chaaan…" Yume was almost crying while hugging Eiji in fear. "I don't really know what it is, Yume-chan."
-KRAAAAW
"I'm sure, she's here. SHE is here." Fuji said while placing his index finger in front of his lips. "Sssh, she might be wandering around and chose this area… don't be so noisy or else she might be disturbed." He added.
"Demo," Yume was about to cry when she spoke. "What are we going to do if it was true?" she asked. Fuji looked at her straightly. "We are going to play with her."
-KRAAAW
The noise started muttering once more. Everyone looked at Ryoma's direction- the place where they could hear the noise louder.
-KRAAAW
Everyone looked sharply behind him with mixed anxiousness beneath their eyes.
-KRAW
"Eh? Karupin?" Ryoma wondered when he saw Karupin behind him. Ryoma picked up the said cat and put it on his lap.
"Meow…" the cat started meowing once more.
"A cat?" they said in unison. "But, Fuji-sempai told us that 'she's here'…" Momoshiro raised an eyebrow.
Fuji smiled. "I said 'she's here' because Echizen's cat is a girl, ne?" he said and smiled once more.
"EH?!" everybody reacted in unison. They almost want to kick the scary tensai's head. "You almost killed us because of that prank!" they yelled out loud.
"But, I also wonder where the wind came from. Since the windows and doors are closed, it is really impossible to have a gushing wind inside this room. "And we also heard sobs, right?"
"Ah." Everybody agreed and nodded. "Demo, the show must go on! Fuji-sempai, that was really a great one! You almost made Mamushi jump in terror! Haha!" Momoshiro started laughing out loud.
"Te-me! Look who's talking! You almost pulled bucho's hair!" Kaidoh answered back.
Momoshiro formed a closed fist in front of him. "What did you say?!"
Everyone was sweat dropped. "What else in earth could these guys do?"
"Okay, someone is in denial. Kaidoh…" Inui called on his former kohai. Kaidoh looked at his sempai and wondered. "What is it?"
"Drink it." Inui said. Kaidoh's back arched and was shrilled. "Sempaiii…" he almost protested.
"NOOOOOO!"
One down, 12 to go.
Seating Arrangement Fuji, Tezuka, Kawamura, Yume, Eiji, Ryoma, Momo, Inui, Tomoka, Oishi, Sakuno, Kintarou
"That was a great one, Fuji-sempai! Haha! You knocked Mamushi!" Momoshiro laughed out loud, referring to the unexplainable face of Kaidoh, who had drank the juice after he lost at the game. Kaidoh glared at Momoshiro, his eyebrows starting to narrow. "You bastard porcupine…"
Yume gave out a sheepish smile when she sensed that Momoshiro and Kaidoh are starting to pick up a fight again. "Ahehe. Neko nii-chan, do you know since when a porcupine and a snake started fighting?"
"Okay. This time it was Fuji who should pick up a number." Inui said and handed Fuji the bowl. Fuji smiled and delved his hand inside the said bowl. He carefully chose a paper and picked it up.
He slowly unfolded the paper and…
"Inui, it's you." Fuji informed and smiled quickly. Inui pointed his nose and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
I'm in a great danger. Inui thought of.
Everyone started to grin so widely. "Eh, minna, what are you thinking of?!" Inui started to ask with a suspicion inside his mind.
99.9 percent that they will…
"Yes, Inui. It's you. It was your name written in this paper." Fuji said and smiled. "Well then, Truth or Dare?"
Inui was really sweat dropped. I'm in great danger! If I choose dare, they Fuji will surely make me pull off my glasses. Inui thought of, as an imagination of Fuji making him pull off his glasses visited his mind. Demo, if I choose Truth… Ahehehehe. He thought of, somehow, evilly.
" Fuji, I'll never lose to you." Inui said with a cocky smile featured on his lips.
"Let's see." Fuji responded, his usual smiling face had been replaced with his serious dead-look. "Truth or dare?" he asked. Inui smiled confidently before answering.
"Truth." Inui responded with a smirk on his face.
Fuji bent down and whispered beside his ear. "I'll prove you wrong."
Inui's eyebrows narrowed as Fuji gets back to his seat. "Well then, you chose 'truth'. Let's start, Inui." He said. Fuji took Inui's hands and joined their hands together. "I'll ask the question and if you don't tell us the exact answer that we wanted, I am going to squeeze you hands together tightly." Fuji said and smiled.
Everybody was actually sweat dropped. Fuji is not just a genius; he is a SADIST AT HEART too.
"Why don't you even pull off your glasses? Why did you choose truth instead of dare? Does it only mean that you don't really want us to see what's behind those thick eye glasses?" Fuji started asking…erm, questions.
Inui's eyebrows twitched. I'm going to get revenge after I escape from this torture!!!"It is because-" Inui was to speak but Fuji's questions only stop him.
"Or does it means that those thick eyeglasses are your keys to success to collect data?" Fuji asked once more with his smiling face while squeezing Inui's hands together.
"Itai! No, gathering data-"
"Gathering data are what? Are they the reasons why you kept those glasses?" he asked with a sadist look.
"ITAAAI! No! I mean-"
"Does it mean that you hate gathering data?"
"ITAAAIII!!!!"
Everybody was sweat dropped while watching the genius sadist torturing the data man.
"Momo, do you think Inui can survive in Fuji's wrath?" Eiji asked with his sweat rolling down from his forehead. Momoshiro shook his head. "I don't really know. No one can ever escape his evil plans, ne, Kikumaru-sempai?" he asked.
Yume's eyes began to sparkle. "Sugoi! Sadist nii-chan can actually organize evil plans!" she said in amazement.
Everyone was as in SWEAT DROPPED. The little girl was even more amazed?
" Fuji! I quit! I can't take it anymoooooreee!!!!" Inui shouted, forcing Fuji's hands to release him. Fuji smiled and released the data man. "Inui, I'm sorry to hurt you." He apologized with a smile."Momo, I think he's not even apologizing at all." Eiji said and tapped Momoshiro's shoulder. Momoshiro nodded. "Ah. Good thing I was the one to ask him."
Ryoma tugged his cap and looked at Fuji. "Fuji-sempai is such a…"
"Sadist, indeed…" Sakuno muttered.
"Eh?" they wondered and looked at each other. A very long eye contact happened between them.
"G-Gomen!" Sakuno suddenly apologized after feeling something warm rising up to her cheeks. She hung her head low, trying to hide her blushing cheeks. Ryoma, in return, tugged his cap, doing his best to hide his pinkish cheeks and the ghostly smile that visits his lips.
Kintarou noticed Sakuno's sudden reactions. He quickly had an intuition inside his mind, and then he looked at Ryoma, who was currently tugging his cap.
Koshimae. He's the kind of guy who knows how to make Sakuno-chan's heart to beat fast. Kintarou thought of sadly, his eyes were like as sad as a heart-broken man.
"Kin-chan, are you okay?" Sakuno asked while looking under Kintarou's hiding face. Kintarou noticed the face gap, and suddenly he blushed. "Eh! Sakuno-chan!" he answered with his guard off, his cheeks were infested by adrenaline rush. "Kin-chan, what's happening to you?" she asked innocently.
"Che." Ryoma muttered and tugged his cap once more. This time, his face was pasted with an annoyed one.
Fuji smiled while watching how the bunch of teenagers reacts with each other. It's such a very wonderful sight, ne?
"Inui! Haha! You need to drink your juice now!" Eiji laughed out loud while giving Inui a cup of his formulated juice. Inui looked around him before taking the cup, and saw Kaidoh starting to go away while jumping. "Eiji, I can't take that juice." Inui said, trying to refuse the offered cup in front of her. "No Inui. You need to accept the offer. Ne, Momoshiro?" Eiji smirked evilly towards Momoshiro. Momoshiro gave another evil smirk towards Inui and Eiji. "Yeah, that was the deal, right?"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Two down, 11 to go.
Seating Arrangements Fuji, Tezuka, Kawamura, Yume, Eiji, Ryoma, Momo, Tomoka, Oishi, Sakuno, Kintarou
"Demo, how are we going to start another round?" Tomoka asked. Inui, who had been seating at the corner for a while ago, spoke. "Let me pick a paper before you evict me." He said. Fuji reached the glass bowl and handed it to Inui. Inui picked up a paper and unfolded it. "Oishi, you're next…"
"Eh?!" Oishi reacted, pointing his nose. "Yes, it was you. Truth or Dare?" Momoshiro asked directly. Oishi tucked his hand over his chin and started to think.
"I don't know what would be the outcome but I choose to pick DARE!" Oishi answered, praying so hard that they will take it so easy on him.
"Oishi, never think that Inui will take it easy on you. So, be careful." Fuji warned Oishi. Oishi wiped his sweat and cleared his throat.
"Oishi, I want you to…" Inui was about to tell Oishi his consequence for him when Kaidoh suddenly came by and whispered something in Inui's ear.
"What's that?" All of them wondered.
"Oishi," Inui started. " WE want you to put MAKE UP on…" he continued and suddenly pointed…
"Eh? What do you want?" Momoshiro asked when Inui pointed him. "Inui-sempai?"
"We want you to put make-up on Momoshiro!" Inui and Kaidoh announced.
Momoshiro's world was shaken up. "Eh?! Why me?!" he protested and looked at the person beside Inui. "Arrrr! MA-MU-SHI!!!!" he started grating his nerves when he looked at Kaidoh, who was having a nice time laughing at him.
"Momo, come here…" Oishi started calling him while carrying a Make-Up kit on his left arm.
Momoshiro was sweat dropped. "Eh?! Where in earth did you even get that Make-Up kit?!" he started shouting with people around him, laughing.
"Momo, come to Momma! Come to Momma!" the people around him started teasing him, while figures of his friends' faces came by to devour him in make-up.
"This will take several minutes but…"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Three down, 10 to go.
Seating Arrangements Oishi, Tezuka, Kawamura, Yume, Eiji, Ryoma, Tomoka, Fuji, Sakuno, Kintarou
"Aaaah, life is really harsh…" Momoshiro mumbled after he laid his back at the couch, with his face painted with different colors of make-up, and his stomach grumbling because of his intake of something that irritates it.
"Momo, it'll need 3 minutes for the concoction to affect your body." Inui explained while jumping at the corner together with Kaidoh. Momoshiro muttered and cursed under his breath. "Who ever told you that I want to become a rabbit?"
"Mada mada dane, Momo-sempai." Ryoma said and smirked.
"Oishi! It's your time to pick up a number now!" Eiji shouted in excitement. "Hoi hoi! I wonder if Oishi will pick my paper!" he said. Oishi smiled while delving his hand inside the glass bowl. "Let's see… hmm…"
"Kawamura… Taka-san! It was you!" Oishi called on. Kawamura looked at Oishi kindly. "So it was me, Oishi? I want to choose dare, please…" he answered. "Taka-san, you're so quick." Oishi said, scratching his egg-like head.
"I wonder why they don't even dare to choose 'truth' by now…" Eiji thought of while tucking his chin above his hand. "Maybe they were having a mental trauma because of Sadist nii-chan, ne?" Yume said, her chin also tucked over her hand. Eiji and Yume looked at each other and nodded like chief investigators. "Ah!"
"Taka-san, this would be very easy. I want you to say 'She sells sea shells on the seashore while carrying ruler over rollerblades.' Can you do it?" Oishi asked with a gentle smile on Taka. Taka felt uneasy and scratched his head. "Ano, Oishi, I don't really think I could-"
"Taka-san, here's the racket…" Fuji handed him his yellow racket and smiled.
Ryoma and the others wondered where Fuji got the racket.
Kawamura smiled while reaching the racket. "Thanks, Fuji. But I don't really know where to use it-"
…
…
…
"BUUUUUUUURNIIIIIING! OH YEAH! SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS ON THE SEA SHORE WHILE CARRYING RULER OVER ROLLERBLADES! FIGHTO! SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS ON THE SEA SHORE WHILE CARRYING RULER OVER ROLLERBLADES! YEAH! YEAH!" Kawamura started yelling while swinging his racket back and forth.
"Sea Shells she sells on the shesore while carrying lurer rover lorrelbrades! Sea Shells she sells on the shesore while carrying lurer rover lorrelbrades! Eh?" Kawamura suddenly stopped the tongue twister when he noticed that he said something wrong.
"Sea Shells she sells on the shesore while carrying lurer rover lorrelbrades!" he repeated. After that he noticed that people are currently staring at him with big grins on their faces.
"Nani? Minna, what's happening?" Kawamura asked.
"Aha… Ahahahahahaha!" People suddenly burst out laughing. Kawamura even laughed at himself.
"Ahahaha! I was wrong… Ahehe!" Kawamura laughed weakly.
"Hahaha! It means that you should drink Inui's juice!" Eiji laughed out loud.
"Yes! I should drink it… nani?! I SHOULD DRINK IT?!" Kawamura stopped laughing after he realized that he should drink Inui's hyper remix juice.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
Four down, 9 to go.
Seating Arrangements Oishi, Tezuka, Yume, Eiji, Ryoma, Tomoka, Fuji, Sakuno, Kintarou
"Momo, you're right… life is really harsh…" Kawamura mumbled. This time, it was his turn to lie over the soft couch. Momoshiro is currently jumping by now.
"Taka-san, please pick a number now." Oishi asked, giving him the glass bowl. Kawamura dug his hand inside the bowl and picked a paper. He unfolded it and quickly read the name inside it.
"Yume-chan, it's your turn." Kawamura said. "Truth or dare?" he asked. Yume smiled widely. "I want to pick dare, please! Pick a hard one for me, please??" she asked while showing puppy eyes towards Kawamura. Kawamura smiled and agreed. "Let me think of a good consequence…"
Yume grinned widely in front of Kikumaru and shouted. "I won! Yatta! I was called first! Yatta!" she happily boasted in front of Kikumaru. Kikumaru pouted his lips, his eyes were already like letter X. "Cheater." He mumbled. Yume just smiled proudly and laughed evilly.
"Kikumaru, can you help me with Yume's consequence?" Kawamura asked. Kikumaru looked at his former team mate and nodded. "YES OF COURSE. Ne, Yume-chan?" he said, and smiled evilly in front of Yume. Yume smiled sheepishly in front of Kikumaru. "Hai, neko nii-chan…"
"Yume-chan, here's the consequence: Kikumaru carries a bag of baking powder. He will pop it in front of you. This is the challenge: You shouldn't sneeze within 15 seconds. Are you ready?" Kawamura explained and asked. Yume put on her goggles and smiled. "HAI!"
"Ready, get set, GO!" Kawamura signaled, and then Kikumaru popped the bag of baking powder in front of Yume's face. Eiji dusted it a number of times so he can make her sneeze.
"Neko nii-chan! Cheater!" Yume shouted after she found the right time to yell.
"Gambatte ne, Yume-chan! You can do it! Fight!" Sakuno cheered on and shouted. "Go Yume-chan!"
Ryoma noticed Sakuno's determination, and actually made him smile.
She's always determined for others.
"You can do it, Yume! Never lose!" Ryoma shouted as well and cheered on Yume. Sakuno looked over Ryoma.
Echizen-kun actually shouted? She thought of. Well, this could be new.
"Go Yume-chan! Fighto!" Both of them cheered on. Others started shouting as well, just to cheer on their bet. Half of them cheered on Yume, and half of them also cheered on Eiji.
Sakuno nee-chan and Ryoma nii-chan are cheering for me, as well as the other people around them! I should do my best! Yume told to herself.
"Yume-chan! 5 seconds to go!" Kawamura shouted.
"Five!" others started to do their countdown. Yume stayed strong until that point.
"Four!" Yume's eyes were almost closed because she can't see anything.
"Three!" her little dainty hands were formed like cupping something.
"Two!" Yume's mouth was opened.
"One!"
"AAAAAHFOOOOOO!!!!!" Yume put her hands in front of her face. Her hands were full of baking powder, and then she blew it, straight on Kikumaru's face.
"ACHOOO!" Kikumaru sneezed after smelling the baking powder. "Ahh Yume-chan!"
"Winner: Yume-chan!" Kawamura declared. Yume smiled and made a peace sign. "YATTA! I MADE IT! I MADE IT! BLEH!" she rejoiced and stuck her tongue in front of Kikumaru.
Kikumaru's chibified face blew the remaining powder away from his mouth. "Pleh. You're such a naughty kid."
"Demo, who's going to drink the juice?" Sakuno asked. "No one, because the time was over when Eiji sneezed." Inui butted in and said.
"YATAA! Haha Yume-chan, it wasn't your victory! It's mine!"
"Hmp!" Yume crossed her little arms and smiled. "Deuce!"
Still, Four down, 9 to go.
Sitting Arrangements Yume, Tezuka, Oishi, Eiji, Ryoma, Tomoka, Fuji, Sakuno, Kintarou
"Ah! I'm going to pick a number now!" Yume said in pleasure. She dug her hand inside the bowl and picked up the rounded paper. She quickly unfolded it in excitement, and was completely astonished when she saw the name of the person at the paper.
"Neko nii-chaaan! It's your turn! Truth or Dare?" she hurriedly asked. Eiji jumped in happiness and answered. "I want dare!"
"Dare, ne?" Yume said, her eyes turning dim while looking at Eiji and Tezuka.
"Neko nii-chan! I want you to tickle Four Eyed nii-chan! If he doesn't laugh or even smile, you are going to drink Data nii-chan's dark juice!" Yume said proudly while pointing Kikumaru on his face.
"Me??!! Tickle… To tickle bucho?!" Kikumaru pointed his nose.
"Hai." Yume answered with a smile.
"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" Kikumaru suddenly screamed.
"Eiji, try to do that or else I'm going to make you run laps." Tezuka said firmly, his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Yume-chaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!" Eiji ran towards Yume with puppy eyes. "Change the dare, please…"
"I don't want to." Yume said hardly while crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Tickle Four eyed nii-chan… that's my one and only dare."
"Eh… Yume-channn…." Eiji protested with chibi tears flowing at the sides of his face.
"Tickle four eyed nii-chan or Data nii-chan's juice? Choose…" Yume kneeled in front of him while carrying Inui's juice.
"It would be just the same… I will never be able to make Tezuka laugh or even smile…suu… Yume-chan is being harsh to cats! That's a huge crime!" Kikumaru protested once more. His index finger pointed Yume's face with his eyebrows on a big twitch. "Neko nii-chan, you only looked like a cat. You're not a cat." Yume said and whistled.
"Aah," Kikumaru groaned and handled the cup of the Hyper Remix juice. "Drink it than do it in laps!" Kikumaru yelled out. He slowly put the cup in front of his mouth, and then he quickly drank the contents of it.
"Gah!" Kikumaru gasped and let go off the cup. He put it over the couch and then he fainted.
"Oi, Kikumaru-sempai!"
Five Down, 8 to go.

"Yume-chaaan, ever planned on idolizing Fuji?" Kikumaru asked with a deep sigh. He reached the glass bowl and picked a paper. "Whoever it is, I'll give him an easy dare so I'll have my afternoon break early." Eiji complained and started unfolding the paper.
"Oi Eiji-sempai, having a drink of this juice is quite good! Jumping is really good for the body. Ne, Mamushi?" Momoshiro said and looked at Kaidoh with an unexplainable glare. Kaidoh just put his hands inside his pockets and hissed. "Fshuuu…"
"Idolizing sadist nii-chan?" Yume whispered and placed her index finger at the side of her forehead. A smile suddenly crept out of her features. "Ah! Why not? Sadist nii-chan!!!"
"Eh, that's terrible. Idolizing Fuji will cause invasion in this world…" Eiji said and sighed. "Eh?" Eiji's eyes widened when he had read the name on the paper. Momoshiro, as well as the others, wondered when he did.
"Whose name is at the paper?" they asked. Kikumaru hung his head low and showed the paper to others.
"NYAAAA!!!! Tezuka! How long will your name follow me????!!!!!" Eiji asked and shouted. Tezuka looked at him seriously and said, "My name never followed yours. My surnames is letter T and yours was letter E. Had you studied the alphabet?" Tezuka asked and smirked.
"AAAAH TEZUKAAAA!!!!" Kikumaru suddenly squealed. "Argh! Truth or Dare?" he asked. Tezuka glared him back. "Dare." He said directly.
Kikumaru's head hung low. "Hahaha." He started laughing. Everyone wondered when Eiji started laughing like crazy without any reason. "Eh, Kikumaru-sempai, what's the matter?"
"Tezuka!" Eiji called on and pointed Tezuka Kunimitsu, who still have his serious, stoic and emotionless face. "I want you to do…"
"Do what?" Tezuka asked. Everybody focused their minds on what Eiji will say.
"I WANT YOU TO DO THE CHICKEN DANCE! WITH SOUND EFFECTS HUH!" Kikumaru yelled out loud. Everybody started bursting out, laughing. Inui took out his notebook and pen. "I should record what kind of…erm…Chicken dance that will Tezuka do." He said and grinned. Fuji took out his handy digital camera while Yume started to set her video camera. On the other hand was Sakuno, who was wondering if Tezuka will do Eiji's dare.
Ryoma smirked. "Why don't you do it now, bucho? Are you afraid?" he said cockily.
"Who told you that I am scared?" Tezuka asked and glared at Ryoma. The two of them started exchanging glares with each other.
Oishi noticed the two and butted in. "Oi oi, you two, stop that…" he said and smiled. Tezuka and Ryoma got enough and mind their own businesses.
Sakuno sighed. "I thought something bad is about to happen. Ne, Kin-chan?" she said and asked. Kintarou nodded. "Ah."
"Now Tezuka, I want you to do the chicken dance within 15 seconds! Timer starts…"
"Eiji, get ready to run in laps." Tezuka said with his eyebrows twitching. He bent his arms and formed his 'chicken wings'
"Now!"
6 down, 7 to go.

"That was a good shot. Ne, Yume-chan?" Fuji smiled while adjusting his digital camera. Yume closed her video camera after saving Tezuka's dance in the memory card. She smiled greatly and nodded. "HAI! Demo, it's a bad thing that he didn't make it on time."
"Eiji get ready after we go back to the city…" Tezuka said and narrowed his eyebrows. Eiji was currently jumping happily and said, "Yes I will! I only want the experience of seeing you dance for the first time, TE-ZU-KA!"
"Four eyed nii-chan, pick a paper!" Yume happily said and gave him the bowl. Tezuka dug his hand inside the said bowl and picked up a paper. He quickly unfolded it and wondered what's inside.
"Lucky and Unlucky time: Pick 5 Players to be evicted and the remaining two players should do consequences for each other." Tezuka read aloud. "Inui, does it means that I should pick 5 papers?" he asked. Inui nodded after clutching his notebook. "Ah."
"I'll start." Tezuka informed. He started picking 5 papers. "The players who should be evicted are: Osakada,"
"Yatta! I'm free from consequences!"
"Oishi, Fuji, Ryuzaki-san, and Yume." Tezuka announced. The persons who were called stood up and, the remaining sat still. "The persons who remained are…"
"Echizen and Kintarou." Tezuka said directly. Ryoma and Kintarou stared at each other for a few seconds, and everybody could feel the building tension between them.
Sakuno's hand trailed its way towards her chest. "I'm nervous. But, I wonder why…" she whispered to herself. Fuji saw how Sakuno reacted, and a ghostly smile covered his playful lips.
"Are you ready?" Kintarou asked with a great smile of excitement graced upon his lips.
Ryoma smirked and adjusted his cap. "I always am."

A/N: Minna-san! I'm really sorry to update very late again. Haaa, we just had 2 exams at a time, and I need to cut off this chapter for a few reasons. I should think of many ways how the battle between Kintarou and Ryoma should go on the flow. Teehee. Plus, we just had our intramurals so whenever I plan that I will update, it was always postponed because I always come home late and I can't even eat my dinner. Heck, school is such a hassle. Grumbles.
