Woot! Chapter 5 is here!
"Nya, where will we go next, Akutagawa-san?" Kikumaru asked, following merrily along an extremely bored Jiroh.
The Hyoutei boy yawned, "I think we should try our luck by going through this room…" He said, pointing to a door with cobwebs all around it.
Marui popped a bubble, "You know, this reminds me of that stupid haunted house I've been to before at school… you know, where everything is fake and you just know it."
Gakuto was scowling at his fake gun. He was so into scowling at it, he didn't notice that his team stopped already so he crashed into the door, making it open with an eerie creak.
Kikumaru shivered, "Nya… it feels so cold in there…" He grabbed a random person for support, which happens to be Gakuto who was screaming curses at the door and Kikumaru.
"Get off of me, ya crazy cat!" Gakuto shouted as he pulled his arm away from a pouting Kikumaru. "There's nothing to be afraid of!" He stepped inside and immediately shivered, "Gah, what did Atobe do? Forget to turn off the air conditioning?"
Marui stepped in second with a sleepy Jiroh grabbing his bear costume from behind. "Whoa, did he go to the extreme?" Marui questioned.
Jiroh grabbed Marui even more, "I'm cold!" He cried.
"Well don't hug me!!" Marui exclaimed.
Gakuto suddenly shushed them. "Did you hear that?" He whispered.
Kikumaru was hiding behind Jiroh now, "Nya… I don't like this place…"
The door behind them closed shut with a loud slam. The group looked around for another exit. When Gakuto finally found another door hidden behind a pink silky curtain. He pulled at the door. It didn't open. Marui pulled at the main door, "This one's locked!" He shouted.
"So is this one!" Gakuto shouted back.
"We're locked in, nya!! We'll starve then die!! Then Atobe's servants won't be able to find this door and we'll rot here for the rest of our lives!! Then, several years later, nya, they'll tear this building down along with our dying corpse!" Kikumaru cried, panicking like crazy and running around in circles.
"Calm down!!" Marui said, "Once this is over, our team mates would be sure to find us."
"Yeah, but think about it," Gakuto said rolling his eyes, "Rikkaidai and Hyoutei have many people wanting to be regulars, we'll be replaced in no time."
Jiroh pointed to the only Seigaku regular, "But he's from Seigaku… Doesn't that mean we have a chance after all?"
Kikumaru danced for joy, "Yay!! We'll be saved!!"
"But wouldn't Seigaku ignore us because we're from another school? They probably want us to die here so that they can win matches more easily now…" Marui stated.
"…"
"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!" Gakuto screamed.
"Now where are we?" Atsushi asked.
Ryou shrugged, "I found a room down the hall playing music…" He said.
"Why don't we just puned the door open? PTH." The banana joked.
"Shut up." Bane said as he kicked the banana boy.
"I think he means punt." Atsushi said.
"…"
"Atsushi, shut it with the explaining."
"Sorry Ryou…"
The group reached the door in silence. Ryou pushed the door slowly. As he said, there was soft music coming in the room. Atsushi gulped, he helped his brother open the door. After a good push, the door opened and there, in the middle of the room, was a piano with no one there.
"Bane-san… Are pianos supposed to play by themselves?" Davide asked.
Bane shook his head, "No. They aren't."
After that, the piano stopped with a sudden bad note. The music stopped.
"I think you scared it away, Bane-san." Davide commented. "You scared a ghost…"
Bane frowned and stepped inside. The light was dim; nothing was seen except for that piano. There were pictures hanging with sheets covering them.
Ryou, Atsushi, and Davide followed along after him. Bane reached the piano. He touched the keys, "They are cold, no one was here before." He said quietly.
"How spooky…" Ryou murmured. Then he turned to the group and suddenly shouted, "Aha! If it weren't for me, we probably wouldn't even be here! You should be glad."
Atsushi gave Ryou a glare and pulled at his brother's headband, "You scared us, Ryou."
"But I'm still right." Ryou said.
"…"
The piano started playing again, everyone stared at Bane who replied, "What? I didn't do anything!"
Suddenly, something hit Ryou in the back of the head and he fell over with a thump, Atsushi dramatically ran over to his fallen brother, "Ryou? Are you ok?" He asked.
Ryou nodded and got up.
Then, Atsushi got hit and dramatically hit the piano, then fell on the ground.
"Atsushi!!" Ryou dramatically cried. He pulled his fallen brother to a sitting position.
"Bane-san…" Davide whispered to his senpai, "Why are they doing that?"
Bane shrugged and continued watching Kisarazucest—er, watching the Kisarazu brothers act dramatically.
"Ryou, I'm ok." Atsushi said weakly.
"Atsushi, hang in there!!"
"No really, I'm ok."
Ryou scowled, "Why didn't you play along?"
"Bane-san, I am starting to wonder about our group's sanity…" Davide said. Wow! He didn't make a pun this time! He should deserve an award!
"We have sanity?" Bane questioned.
Then, a light turned on, making everyone cover their eyes. Then a noise, the curtains opened and there was a hole in the wall that says, "Jump here to escape." Everyone shrugged, eh, everything was messed up already. So they all just jumped into the hole…
"Yagyuu…" Niou started.
"Oshitari-kun…" Yagyuu asked.
"Yes?" The tensai replied.
"Where are we?" Yagyuu asked.
"Yagyuu, you stole my line…" Niou mumbled.
"Sorry, Niou-kun."
"Guys, please stop moving." Yukimura said in a somewhat cheerful tone.
"…Ugh, can't… we're like, jammed together…" Oshitari replied, trying to keep everyone from sitting on his head.
"Niou-kun, refrain from getting your hands up my shirt."
Niou smirked, "Sorry, I can't help it. There's no room for my hand to be…"
Where were they? Well, Oshitari had fallen into a whole, and then Yagyuu went to save him while Niou followed along. When Yukimura noticed everyone was in the hole, he jumped in. Now, he won't get off and it's been about 10 minutes since they were all jammed together like sardines in a can.
"Hey… 'Mura-buchou… why did you jump in?" Niou questioned.
Yagyuu grunted, "And why are you not climbing out?"
Yukimura smiled, "Because the hole has a net over it, my hair would be messed up if I climbed through it."
Oshitari was panting for air, "Air… I need air…" He gasped. "Get off of me…"
Yagyuu gave Oshitari an apologetic look, "We can't… I'm sorry."
Niou scowled, "That's it." He tried to push past Yukimura, but ended up being pushed back down roughly. "Ow! I was going to get us free! What was that for, buchou?"
"You're messing up my costume." Yukimura said serenely.
"…"
"Air…"
"We're sorry, Oshitari-kun."
"I'm not."
"Niou-kun!! Please stop being rude… oh, and GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF MY SHIRT!"
"But it's warm…" Niou murmured.
Yukimura only smiled.
So, this group was stuck here for a long, long time…
Everyone glared at each other.
"Atobe…" Sanada finally said.
"What?" Atobe asked, looking really mad.
"Why did you lead us to a dead end?"
"Che, monkey king can't find his way out of this maze…" Ryoma muttered, "Mada mada dane…"
"I told you to follow me." Tezuka mumbled.
"Ore-sama is perfectly capable to—"
"Get lost and make us lose." Ryoma finished for him.
"No, Ore-sama is perfectly capable to get you all out of here." Atobe pointed behind them, "We probably made a wrong turn."
The group retraced their steps and went left this time.
"Atobe…"
"Yes, Ore-sama knows, Sanada."
"Stop stepping on my back."
"Well Ore-sama can't help it that he doesn't want his costume wet."
The two Seigaku regulars were already on the other side of the river thing. "Can't you hurry up, monkey king?" The younger regular asked.
Atobe glared at Echizen. He slowly climbed past Sanada who grunted when Atobe's weight was on his shoulders. "Hurry… can't… keep this up…" Sanada uttered.
"Ore-sama is hurrying!!" Atobe shrieked at him.
When the Hyoutei buchou made his "vicious" climb towards the other side of the small man-made river, Sanada lost his grip and fell in with a splash. "Ok, let's keep going!" Atobe announced as he walked ahead.
"Why me?" Sanada grumbled as he pulled himself to the other side. He squeezed the water out of his shirt. Well, at least his hat was saved…
"Aniki… where are Yanagisawa-senpai and Mizuki-san?" Yuuta asked as he looked around trying to find his teammates.
Fuji smiled, "I'm not sure, Yuuta. Let's just go without them, ok? It'll be like when we were little."
Yuuta really hoped that they were in the bathroom or something… "Aniki… do you have any weapons on you?"
"No, why?" The older sibling asked.
"No reason…"
Meanwhile, Mizuki and Yanagisawa were trying to find their way back to the group, they were trailing behind the Fuji brothers when Yanagisawa tripped over his untied shoelaces. Mizuki looked at him, the at the Fuji brothers, then back at him.
"Go on… without me, dane…" Yanagisawa said dramatically.
Mizuki nodded, "Ok." And ran behind the brothers.
"I was being dramatic, dane!! Come back here!" Yanagisawa yelled.
"Aniki… did you hear something?" Yuuta asked.
"Probably the wind."
A hand grabbed Yuuta from behind making him jump in surprise. He turned around, expecting to see an evil monster, but he saw…
Mizuki.
"You… you ditched me, you… you…" Mizuki made a series of bad names Yuuta could not, and WILL not understand. Fuji stood there, unfazed.
"Yuuta, looks like you found a stray monster." Fuji said as he looked at Mizuki. "Hmm… kind of hideous too, wears too much purple. Now why does that sound familiar?"
"I'm not monster, you idiot!" Mizuki practically screamed in Fuji's face.
Fuji opened his eyes a bit and scowled, "Yuuta, we better throw him out the window or else he might injure you."
Yuuta sweat dropped, "A-Aniki… that's my manager… You can't throw him out a window…"
Fuji looked clueless, "Really? I thought he was a monster from another realm!"
Mizuki glared at Fuji, if looks could kill, he would probably be there, dead, and the floor would be so bloody, and Yuuta would probably be screaming. Oh, the terror!
"Dane… YOU GUYS DITCHED ME, DANE!!" Yanagisawa screamed. He ran towards the group but ended up tripping over his other shoelaces. "Ow."
"…"
"Nande, nande? Why are we walking through this tunnel?" Itsuki asked, blowing some something out of his nose.
Kentaro grinned, "BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WIN!!!"
Saeki looked around the tunnel, "Is it just me, or is this getting really easy?"
Kawamura nodded, "Yes, I think so too."
"Aww, now don't be so negative!!" Kentaro screamed.
"Nande, nande? Why are we about to fall in that hole?"
"What hole—AHHHH!!!" Kentaro fell in obviously, or else he wouldn't be screaming, right?
"Nande, nande? Why did he fall?"
Saeki ran to the hole and peered inside, "Kentaro, are you ok?" He called out.
"A-ok!!!" Kentaro exclaimed and jumped right out.
"That was odd…" Kawamura said. Saeki nodded in reply, and the team was off on their merry journey yet again. Yay!
"I think it's that-a-way!" Kentaro cried, pointing to the right.
Saeki and Kawamura shrugged, they didn't really care.
"LET'S SING A SONG TO PASS THE TIME!!!"
"…ok…" Kawamura said quietly. He wondered if Rokkaku were always like this.
"AND WE ALL ATE SOME CANDY!!! LALALALA!!!" Kentaro sung.
"…Let him enjoy his Halloween…" Saeki said with a sigh.
Taka-san could only chuckle.
"Ok, for the last time, I DON'T LIKE YOU!" Kirihara shouted.
Sengoku grinned, "But whatever women say, they say that it's always the other way around."
"DO I LOOK LIKE A FRIGGIN WOMAN TO YOU!?!?" Kirihara screamed. He ignored the
shush he was given by Jackal.
"…Yes." Sengoku replied.
"UGHHHH!! JACKAL-SENPAI!! HE'S BOTHERING ME!!!" Kirihara whined.
"Akaya, I'm trying to listen to Akazawa here!" Jackal exclaimed.
"BUT… BUT… HE'S HARASSING ME!!" He pointed to Sengoku who waved and said, "Hi."
"I'm not harassing you, you're just too cute to not talk to." Sengoku explained.
"…"
"So, this "Mizuki" fellow is taking your job as buchou? How sad…" Jackal murmured to Akazawa.
Akazawa nodded sadly.
"Shishido-san, where should we go? Left or right?"
"Right." Kaidoh replied.
"Left." Answered Momo.
They glared at each other and started to bicker.
"Gekokujyou, when I become ruler, you shall all be silenced…" Hiyoshi muttered to himself.
"Hmm… go right, Choutaro." Shishido finally answered after much thought.
"Shishido-san, I love your dress."
"U-uh, thank you, Choutaro…"
"You're welcome, Shishido-san. If we get married, would you wear it for me?" Choutaro asked with a smile.
"Su—hey! We're not getting married! And who said I would wear a dress if I do get married?"
"But… But… Shishido-san looks nice in a dress!" Choutaro wailed.
Shishido blushed, "Shut up, Choutaro."
"Gekokujyou…"
"It's right, you directionless moron!"
"What did you say, Mamushi? It's obviously left!!"
"SHUT UP!!!" Shishido shouted.
"…"
"Thank you."
"Sadaharu… we should head through this tunnel."
"Yes, we should."
Oishi smiled, "Well, I'm glad you two are getting along so well."
"Usu."
"Yes, we shall go!" The two said robotically.
"… This is weird."
"Usu."
"Are they always so robotic?"
"Usu."
"Kabaji, you have freedom to talk you know."
"Usu."
"Ok… Let's go…"
"Usu."
Well, I couldn't think of anything for that last pair… sorry.
