"Kanato, will you buy the Vermont Avenue?" Asked Reiji, already prepared to give that card to Kanato.
"Of course I will, right, Teddy?" Yeah, enjoy your streets and avenues. I was pretty good here, right, uncle?
"It's your turn, Jailbird."
"No need to rub it in!" I snatched the dice from Shuu's hand. That third double was unfortunate. Maybe, just maybe I'll get the fourth double and will go ahead of Ayato, who managed to get the Electric company from the first try. Reiji bought lame Baltic Avenue and Shuu got a card of chance that offered general repairs. Subaru came to visit me and Laito bought the closest train station.
I clenched the dice in my hand to charge it with good energy and after a few seconds I threw them.
"Snake eyes." My eyes shot wide open. No way! But I had no time to celebrate - I had to pay Ayato.
"Heh, that's why Ore-sama is the best!"
"Shut up!"
"Don't be a sore loser." Kanato annoyingly opened his mouth.
"Oh lookie who's talking, mister 'I don't wanna roll the last'!" I was indeed a sore loser and that was going to be the reason of my death one day, maybe today.
"Now listen here!" Kanato's hand shot towards my neck, but Subaru dodged it for me.
"You don't want to lose, right?" That's my dear visitor for you. You can always count on Subaru. "You'll be free to do anything with her once the game ends." Yep.
"Move away from the dice! It's Ore-sama's turn." He grabbed those like a child would grab candy from their sibling.
"Five."
"Ore-sama knows how to count!"
"Just a habit." I mumbled.
"Ha, I got the chest. Look, Titless - even this game has a chest." Should I slap him now or should I wait until he realizes he's a two thousand years old with an annoying wife and ten immortal bratty children?
"Enjoy this chest, because that's the only kind of chest you'll ever see in your entire vampire life."
"Why you..."
"After the game, Ayato-kun, after the game." Ayato just growled in response.
"I shall read what you got: 'You inherit one hundred dollars.'"
"So at least in the game the old mad is dead." Smirked Ayato.
"It's my turn, I guess." Shuu lazily threw the dice. He got eight.
"Annoyance, move my shoe."
"You're not talking to me, are you?" I asked him with fake pain in my voice.
"Well, since you answered," Said Shuu with a smirk.
"Fine. Will you buy this railroad?"
"Sure."
"Nfu~ so Shuu's also into trains and tunnels. Good thing it's my turn to shine. Be a good Bitch-chan and fetch me some dice." Being a good Bitch-chan I was, I put the dice into my mouth, stood up and carried them towards Laito, who was siting next to Reiji. Once I got in front of him, I motioned Laito to stick out his hand, which he did, and so I spit the dice into Laito's palm.
"Woof." I barked with a voice of a dog that had no more will to live because his wife left him for a mongrel.
"Well that was..." Grimaced Reiji.
"...so hot." Whispered Laito with a blush.
"I guess this time I'll have to kiss them for better luck." After saying that, Laito pressed his lips to the dice. I visually grimaced with disgust. He kept the eye contact with me the entire time.
"Just throw them." Subaru was sitting in front of the pervert, so he smacked the dice out of his hand.
"Hey! I wasn't done yet!"
"That's what she said," Giggled Ayato.
Reiji rubbed his temple in annoyance. I feel you, bro, I really do.
"Now you're done and you got ten."
"Oh, I got visitors," Smirked Shuu. "Pay up, wannabe." Laito frowned, but paid anyways.
"It's my turn, but before that, wash the dice."
"Why?" I wanted to do so myself, but Subaru destroyed that wish.
"Because."
"Because of my saliva? You do understand that you guys cover me in yours as if it's a body lotion, so it's only fair."
"Just throw them - she's no longer poisonous." Sighed Reiji.
"Listen to your clean freak brother, will you... Wait what?" I turned to face Reiji. "What do you mean?"
"I got nine."
"Will you buy the New York Avenue?"
"Yes." They just ignored me!
Finally it was Reiji's turn.
"I'll have to wash these gloves after the game," Reiji complained as he cast the dice. He got twelve. Right into Shuu's railroad.
"Pay."
"No."
"You have to."
"Go suck on a dog's ear."
"So that's where my puppy had gone to. Was it at least tasty?"
"Not as tasty as the ashes of a certain someone."
"How do you know about this?"
"Stay away from it, Kanato." Boy pressed his teddy closer to his chest. Reiji and Shuu's quarrel would have probably ruined our game, so I had to stick my nose into their business.
"Reiji, be a responsible adult and pay." He threw money at Shuu's face.
"Choke on these."
"Since you lack something else to choke on?"
"GUYS! No one lacks anything so just shut up!"
"Are you sure about this?" Ayato asked me with a teasing smirk.
"Okay, fine. One person lacks for a nice set of female pillows, but it doesn't concern you. And stop milking this joke already!" I screamed towards the ceiling so the author-chan would hear me.
"Look, Teddy, human trash is talking to an inanimate object. Isn't she crazy?" Like you were the one to talk. I sighed.
"Kanato, it's your turn."
"I know. Give me those." He rolled the dice and got five.
"Reiji, give me my States Avenue. Now!" Kanato gave Reiji the money and roughly snatched away his card.
"Finally It's my turn to shine." I took those white thingies and threw them across the board. And they beautifully rolled to give me six and four.
"Ten! I'm ahead of you all. And I got the chance card~. Okay, let's read it: 'Advance to the Illinois Avenue'. Reiji, you know what to do with the card." I excitedly payed for my first street.
"Don't get ahead of yourself. Ore-sama will destroy you. Gimme those." Ayato grabbed the dice and threw them hard across the board, knocking off Shuu's, Reiji's and Laito's tokens.
"Next time just flip over the entire table, will ya."
"Shut up. See - it worked." Ayato leaned back to his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. His smirk said 'Do not question the newborn pro'. And be me damned - he had a double of ten.
Reiji prepared the card.
"Will you buy..." The sound of paper hitting Reiji's face and then slowly falling down made me choke on the cookie I was eating. "I'll take this as a 'Yes'." Reiji collected the banknotes and threw Ayato's card into my face.
"Hey! What was that for, four eyes?!"
"It's rude to laugh at something like that, human." The way he said the word 'human' made my blood boil with rage. But I had to calm down - I didn't want to get my own rule to work against me.
After Laito and Shuu bought new streets, Reiji got a double. But it wasn't a good one - this time he had to pay Subaru. That went smoother that expected. With another throw to Ayato's dismay Reiji bought Water works. The only thing Kanato got in this round was the free parking lot.
"Oh boy, it's my turn. And a double of ten too! Lucky me," I giggled. Shuu smirked for some reason, but I brushed it off.
"Reiji, I'll buy this Pennsylvania Avenue. And here I go again." I threw the dice unable to believe my eyes.
"Another double?"
"Someone's about to go to jail~"
"Like hell I will!" Reiji gave me my 200$ and I read the card I got from the Community's chest.
"So here's what I got: 'Go to Jail..." Ayato and Laito were laughing their asses off and I just put my dog into jail with cheeks burning with embarrassment.
Ayato grabbed the dice.
"Look, how professionals do it." He threw one dice. One. Then he threw the other. Two.
"See, Ore-sama will just..."
"Go straight to Jail." I smirked, enjoying the fruits of karma.
After Shuu and Laito payed Ayato for the Ventnor Avenue and Subaru payed Reiji for the sweet H2O, it was time for Reiji to shine. He got four and bought North Carolina Avenue. Since it was double, he threw the dice again and got nine. He was the first one to get the whole (lamest of all) Monopoly.
Kanato bought the last street of the reds. Laito and I weren't happy about this. Not one bit, but the goth loli continued on peacefully eating his snacks.
Since Ore-sama and I were cheap and unlucky, we stayed in jail.
Shuu pulled out his birthday out of the chest.
"I despise the very being of yours. I curse the day you were born and now I have to pay for you being born?" Reiji was really reluctant to pay, but we managed to force him into paying.
Laito bought another train station and proudly waved it in front of Shuu's face. Poor man thought that this was some sort of metaphor of perverts.
Subaru bought one out of two most expensive streets and Kanato got a double of twelve leading straight towards Laito's new train station.
"I knew you liked to play with trains, my dearest brother." Laito smiled sweetly. "Pay. Now." His eyes turned red for a moment.
"Here." Kanato gave the payment.
My second try was shitty, so I didn't pay to leave the jail and so didn't Ayato. Shuu got a double twelve just to pay Laito for the train. Laito was very happy and took the money with pride. With his second try Shuu stepped on Ayato's electricity, but red haired idiot didn't notice this one, because he was arguing with me about who was the real jail bitch.
Reiji got a 'Get out of jail' card that made me an Ayato really jealous. Kanato bought his second light blue street.
"Okay, guys, this is my third and last try to escape jail. If I get double - I'm no a jail bitch, okay?"
"Watch your language."
"Yeah yeah. And here it goes." I threw the dice. After they stopped spinning I couldn't believe my eyes - I got a double of ten! I was so happy I shook Subaru's hand, gave a high five to Laito and a middle finger to Ayato.
Ayato wasn't that lucky this time. He had to pay for the jail and hospital because he got a chest card. Shuu bought the last orange street. He needed only one street to have a full set.
And Laito was lucky enough to land on the train of Shuu. His pride disappeared faster than it came to life.
After a few passed 'Go's' all of the streets were sold out and all hell broke loose. Reiji traded water works for the yellow street from Ayato. Red haired vampire was too happy to notice what was happening. I gave Reiji the third yellow street, making it his second Monopoly and Reiji gave me his green avenue, giving me one of the best monopolies.
Subaru gave away his orange street and the light blue one to Shuu, getting the most expensive monopoly in return. The triplets were left with nothing. Purple monopoly could be Kanato's, but Reiji owned one street. Red monopoly could belong to the triplets, but I owned the very last piece.
"So, Laito, who's the bitch now, hm?" I giggled.
"I never thought that Bitch-chan would collaborate with that boring person."
"I thought the same thing at first, but then got a genius idea while preparing your snacks."
"That's right," Reiji smirked while fixing his glasses. "She suggested the truce and I created a plan. Our arguments were just a cover up." Reiji gave us all his sadistic smile. I giggled like Harley Quinn. That's right - Reiji and I ganged up on the rest of the blood suckers.
"And the slaughter is just about to begin. Reiji, let's start the plan 'Double T'." TT stood for 'Territory of Terror'.
"With pleasure, milady." He took a handful of houses. Every street we owned had 2 houses each except for Reiji's brown streets - they already had hotels. Subaru and Shuu weren't sleeping either - they also started building up.
"Bitch-chan, you promised me destruction of my brothers, so why am I the one being destroyed?" He faked a pout.
"Because you thought I'd have no allies."
"Let the massacre begin." Reiji announced.
The first one to receive damage was Ayato. He failed at getting money from the passed 'Go'. Shuu was the unlucky soul to get general repairs from the chance. He had to destroy half of his houses. Laito avoided danger by stepping on Kanato's street and Subaru avoided damage by stepping on his own house.
Reiji paid me by turning over the red street for mortgage. I then bought the jail pass from him with the very same money he gave me. Kanato stepped on the very same street Reiji had, but boy managed to pay off, unlike Shuu, who stepped on Reiji's yellow street.
"Pay," Reiji demanded, enjoying every single second Shuu's shoe spent on his street. Shu didn't care at all - he destroyed one more house. But then Ayato stepped on Shuu and the sleeping Beauty regained his house.
But soon Shuu was hit in the face by his ally - Shuu stepped on Subaru's most expensive street with two houses.
"I can see you barely paid off," Reiji chuckled.
"It's just a game, Reiji," Said Shuu.
"That's what constant losers say."
Laito was avoiding danger just fine.
"Laito, you haven't done anything to Miss Fortune, have you?"
"I guess kissing the dice helped." Seeing that his victory was impossible, Laito resolved to his good old flirting.
Subaru got more houses just in time to greet Kanato who was left with basically nothing. I got a trip to safe and taxless jail. And then Ayato stepped on the yellow street of Reiji. There he was the first one to lose.
"To hell with this stupid game!" He threw his horse into the fireplace. Reiji got even stronger.
Then, Subaru and Shuu got into Ayatos lovely territory and paid for Reiji's hotels. It was obvious now who's going to win. Laito lost to Reiji, giving away few streets and monopoly. Reiji used that to his advantage and brought Shuu to his downfall. Subaru managed to pay for Reiji once again, but it didn't last. The last one to lose was Kanato. Then there were only me and Reiji.
I lost after stepping on Reiji's hotels - my luck with doubles.
Luckily, game ended without any blood spilled... For now. Triplets promised me to avenge their downfall, so I knew where I'll be spending the rest of the night - the dungeons. But I didn't care - in the end it was all worth it.
"What a game," I sighed while cleaning the table. There were only me and Reiji in the room.
"I must commend you on this one," Said Reiji.
"Oh stop it, you. It was for my own pleasure. Oh, and will you give me unlimited access to wifi from now on?"
"I'm a man of my word. That was the deal after all." Today was a good day after all.
After a few days and healing from my punishment, I was in my blanket fort, peacefully watching anime, when...
"Bitch-chaaan~~~ Look what I've found! Wanna play?" I popped my head out of my little heaven.
"Oh god no!" Laito was holding a game of Twister.
