Chapter Two:
The men that decided to compete all sat around a long table; Hijikata and Okita were among them. The commander was doing the refereeing with the help from Yamazaki, who would do all of the tallying in the end.
The table was covered with plates. They held each a stick of dango.
"Oi, why the hell dango?" Asked Hijikata to Okita.
"It was cheaper in bulk."
"Oh." Was all Hijikata could say.
Standing at the end of the table, Kondo started to explain the rules.
"Okay, listen up, who ever clears the most plates in ten minutes wins,"
The men at the tables nodded, the non competitors surrounded the table, patting their comrade's backs and passing bids to one another. Hijikata stared at the plate before him, I guess I'll just put some mayo on it so it goes down faster, he thought. He looked over at Okita to see him wearing his cursed red sleeping mask. The Vice-Commander just rolled his eyed and ignored this subordinate.
"All of you ready?!" Kondo shouted; it was less of a question, kind of like when someone asks you "are you awake?" when your eyes are closed. "Begin!"
At that, all of the men grabbed a stick of dango and started to eat with much gusto. All Hijikata did was pull out his travel size bottle of mayo and started to lay it on.
Once his task was complete, it took the stick and ate the four pieces in one bite. He continued this patterned until he heard Kondo yell, "STOP!" ten minutes later.
Hijikata looked around at the men at the table to see not all of them where there. Some of them had fallen backwards off of their seats and were groaning and moaning on the ground; he noticed there bellies had grown in size. The Vice-Commander then turned to look at Okita, who was resting his head on the table, eyes looked glazed over and drool coming out the side of his mouth.
"Oi," started Hijikata, only to let out a burp, then he began again. "Oi, Okita?" Then he picked up an empty dango stick and poked Okita's head. "You dead?" Okita's gazed turned and he fixed his glazed eyes on the Vice-Commander.
"Look who's talking; you look no better then me," he said, as he raised his head, it wobbled side to side as he gained focus.
Yamazaki walked towards the table and started to tally the plates. Once his was done he nodded to Kondo who then started to announce.
"Nice job all of you, now we don't have to feed you for a couple of days," he said with a laugh. The men that weren't unconscience gave him a dark glare. "Okay, okay," He said, slightly backing away.
"We'll announce the winners at the end. The next Game is a dance contest!"
Of the men that were able to hear what Yamazaki said, pure dread covered there faces.
