It was Tuesday afternoon. Everybody was at Jackal's house (for some reason they just felt like staying there and torturing him), excluding Kirihara, of course, who was now spending time in jail.

"It's Tuesday," Yagyuu pointed out. "We now only have 2 days to save Marui-kun, not counting today, that is."

"We know it's Tuesday," Jackal grumbled as he came in the room with a tray. Seriously, they're at his house, and they're ordering him around to pour the drinks. Where was law? Where was the policy? Where was justice?

"I DON'T want to give up on sugar!" wailed Marui. "Sugar is my life and soul! If I ever lose her, I'll be deathly sick and I'll die!"

"You're talking about sugar like she's your lover...but wait, why is sugar a 'she'?" demanded Yanagi. "It's illogical! Sugar should be referred to as 'sugar'!"

"That was pointless," stated Sanada, slightly content that he was actually included.

Niou was lounged out on Jackal's bed, chillin' like ice cream fillin'. "So what are we supposed to do? Make Marui pretend to hate sugar like Kirihara? I'll bet you anything he's gonna end up in jail too."

Yanagi rolled his eyes, but since his eyes were closed, so nobody discovered his inconsiderate act. "Making Kirihara pretend to be a kind person was a miscalculation at my point. I assumed that Ms. Latnem wouldn't go to measures that far, but..." he clenched his fist.

"Why are you clenching your fist?" asked Jackal, afraid that Yanagi might punch his furniture or blow up his house.

"Oh. For dramatic effect, of course. It's not like I care much about Kirihara's well-being, but it's just that my data was wrong! I cannot stand having incorrect data, so I'm angry."

"Hey!" responded Marui. "Can you get your awesome grandma to run over that evil witch again? I'm sure she can manage, right, Niou?"

Niou shook his head. "She's planning a robbery of a casino in Las Vegas with my auntie. She's really busy, and apparently she got her license suspended, but since she's a little old lady that's 90 years old, the police let her off. To think about it, she should have gotten a 10,000 yen fine, but she's just awesome like that."

"Shouldn't your grandma be one of those cat-loving, white-haired, smiling and kind old ladies with walking-sticks?" questioned Jackal.

Niou shook his head, then nodded. "You know, she does fit your description, except she's a criminal, not a cat-lover. She caused many of the famous bank-robberies in her old age. When she was young, she was a teacher."

Sanada raised his eyebrows. "How-"

Marui jumped up. "You're supposed to be helping me!" he whined. "I'm gonna get killed, and you're talking about your grandmothers? It's not fair!"

Yagyuu stood up and bowed. "I apologize for our inconsiderate behaviour. Let's talk about strategies, then."

Niou raised his hand. "What about we blow up Ms. Latnem's house, shoot her, stab her, torture her, and then throw her into a river?" he suggested. "And maul her with a truck. I'm sure grandma would love to do the honours."

Jackal swallowed. "What about we actually try to make Marui cut on sugar?" he replied weakly, frightened by Niou's suggestion.

Yagyuu made an action for everybody to lower their hands. "Now, let's have a vote. Who votes for Niou's plan?" Niou, Sanada and Marui raised up their hands.

"And who votes for Jackal's plan?" Jackal, Yanagi, and Yagyuu raised up their hands.

"Jackal's plan it is," announced Yanagi.

"Hey!" remarked Marui. "It's a tie! How come you guys won?"

Yanagi grinned. "My vote counts as two."

"Then Sanada's vote should also count as two!" argued Niou.

"Yagyuu's vote also counts as two. Enough," Yanagi answered.


It was 7 o' clock. They were at their favourite restaurant, including Kirihara (Niou had asked if Kirihara may have dinner with them, and Ms. Latnem agreed, except Kirihara needed to wear the iron ball thing on his ankle like in the movies). Every customer glanced at Kirihara's feet with a twinkle in their eyes.

"I hate this ball thing!" moaned Kirihara. "Everybody stares at me and thinks I'm acting as a prisoner to raise money!"

Yagyuu adjusted his glasses. "This iron ball is quite old-fashioned and annoying, but I'm afraid Ms. Latnem has total control over us. We might get expelled if we don't listen to her."

After having a meal of spaghetti and other food, it was time for dessert.

Marui stared at the menu. "I'll have, um, the 'triple scoop cookies n' cream ice cream with drizzled strawberry syrup.'" Everybody immediately gave him 'the look'.

Marui started sweating. "I'll have the double scoop chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce then," he replied. Everybody gave him 'the look' again.

"I mean, I'll have a strawberry ice cream cone," Marui trembled in fear, and immediately changed his choice. Everybody gave him 'the look', once again.

"Actually, I'll, um, have strawberry flavoured frozen yogurt." 'The look' was given once more.

"Fine," sighed Marui, exhausted. "I'll have a vanilla yogurt, no sugar added." Everyone smiled.

Wednesday.

Marui sat on his bed, and watched the regulars surround his wardrobe. His right eye twitched.

"Aha!" shouted Niou. "I have found Marui's secret candy collection!" He immediately pulled out 100 candy bars, 40 lollipops, 50 packs of bubble gum, and 60 frosted cupcakes, wrapped carefully in a plastic wrapper.

Marui sighed and dropped to his knees. "No!" he shook his fist at the heavens dramatically. All the regulars stared at him in awe at his dramatic behaviour.

"How can you stuff so many things into your wardrobe?" demanded Jackal. "This is quite an art."

Marui beamed, then his face fell. "I would totally, like, tell you, but YOU JUST RAIDED MY SUPER SECRET SUGAR SNACKS aka. S.S.S.S!" He ended the sentence in a scream.

Niou shrugged, picked up a chocolate bar and bit into it. "But you really do need to cut on sugar, since if Ms. Latnem discovers your hidden secret, then you'll be in jail like poor little Kirihara wearing the iron ball thing and looking like a hobo. Do you want that?"

Marui quickly shook his head. "No thank you."

Yanagi and Yagyuu piled Marui's super secret sugar snacks aka. S.S.S.S into a large bag.

"Let's go," ordered Yanagi. "When we get back to headquarters, we'll split the loot."

"Okay," stated Sanada. "That just sounded like we're robbers or bandits or murderers or something."

"Seriously," replied Jackal, rolling his eyes. "What are we?"

Yagyuu adjusted his glasses. "We are normal people who have just removed a friend's illegal collection for his own health."

Niou rolled his eyes. "You make us sound like we're police who have just stopped somebody from consuming drugs, and like we're actually doing something good and for a good cause."

"We aren't?" questioned Sanada, shouldering the heavy bag. "And so what? Let's leave, secretly." Everybody except for Marui exited Marui's bed room, on tip-toes, whispering quietly and they totally looked like the robbers in child movies. They had also thoughtfully wore black clothing, and Jackal even had a black mask on his face. They also wore black beanies.

Marui plopped on his bed, thoroughly beaten. "No!" he sobbed. "Why has god unleashed his fury upon me? I'm DOOMED! NO!"


A/N: I sincerely apologize if I had just made Marui sound like a total push-over and a wimp. I personally did not wish for this effect, and I'm also not religious, but oh well.

NOTE: To I like Randomness-here is your creepy idea in your review (Niou's suggestion)! The original idea sort of scared me, so I changed it a little.

And also to one of my reviewers...I think I remember that one of you had suggested they go to a camp? I am also going to use that idea, except a morphed version, but I have no idea who had suggested this. If you have suggested this, then you are welcome to tell me and I will thank you for this idea.

Also, I would like to thank my new reviewers for reviewing: Genocide Never Again, and Cranapple. I thank those that read my author's notes, since I really like writing these. =).

Lastly, if any of you have a idea for some other chapters in Rikkai Addicts, you are free to post them in your reviews and we will personally discuss and decide whether we will use them or not.

Thanks to everybody for reviewing! We really love reviews. By Noël and Chantal! =)

P.S. I use 'and' and 'also' too much
