Drabble Rikkaidai!

The Nature of the Game

Title: The Nature of the Game
Author: Mizu willowscry
Rating: G
Word count: 96
Prompt: Image # 10 - trophy
Notes: Spoilers for the end of the manga.

“Losing is not an option.” was the law, the greatest philosophy of Rikkaidai. Those that did not abide by it were punished – harshly.

When it came to the end – it was the thrill of the game, the fact that it was just a game that became the end of their law, despite what they wanted to believe.

Their law was proven wrong.

The real law proved was “Winning isn’t everything.”

The second place trophy may not have glittered as much as the champion’s trophy, but it served to remind the former champions that glory is fleeting.

Finished~

Prompt: Image #2 – Fast food
Note: Haha, I did one of those where the reader fills in the blanks as to who is talking. Totally not my usual style, but I like it as it is. And it gives the reader's imagination a quick work out.

“Fast food is bad for you.”

“Like what you’re eating is any better?”

“Salad is food.”

“It’s rabbit food, sempai!”

“I’ve never seen a rabbit that eats tuna.”

“You’re not normal, and I’m sticking to that story.”

“Can you really tell me that he’s normal?”

“That’s a good question.”

“It’s a good hamburger, and I was in a hurry. Besides, it’s not like I eat them every day. I’d be an elephant by now if I did. Besides, tennis burns off the calories very quickly.”

“You’re not-normal sempai number two.”

“No, I think he’s number one in terms in craziness.”

“Only tennis craziness. And twenty laps for calling your sempai-tachi crazy.”

It Runs in the Family

Title: It Runs in the Family
Author: Mizu willowscry
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 287
Prompt: Image #7 - medical implements

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~

It was a stench that he never hoped to smell again. The sterile, astringent smell of the hospital always brought back bad memories for Yukimura Seiichi.

The memories of lying helpless, unmoving yet wanting to move were almost too much to bear.

But this was a happy occasion. Or it was supposed to be before his wife was wheeled to the operating room for an emergency C-section.

The worrying was eating at him, even though he was right there watching. Part of his mind told him to run far, far away, but the sane part knew that his family needed him.

The scalpels, the various cutting implements scared him. Almost ten years ago some of the same instruments had saved his own life, and now they were about to assist in the introduction of a new life that had decided to come into the world a few weeks early.

Blocking out the memories, Seiichi smiled down at his wife. “It’ll be alright.” He said quietly, watching her and not the frantic doctors that were cutting into her.

They had lost track of the time, and it was almost a surprise when the doctors handed the baby over to the happy parents.

“He’ll be fine. In the meantime, Rosa needs to rest.” The doctor said. “He’s lucky.”

Seiichi shook his head, as he held the newborn. “I guess it runs in the family.” He said quietly, smiling a little.

Sitting in the spectator stands, 15 years later, Seiichi and Rosa watched as their son decimated his opponent at the National tournament in Japan.

“Luck isn’t the only thing that runs in the family.” Seiichi said quietly to himself, feeling very proud of his kid as history went repeating.

"That's why you're going to sneeze."

"I could hit it with my water gun."

"You just want to soak 'Tarou."

"Well...yeah!"

"What's going on? Why aren't any of you practicing?"

"'Tarou has a butterfly on his nose."

"...Everyone, go practice. 'Tarou...Why?"

"Science class - someone's insect project wasn't dead. And I have to sneeze now."

"Because you're staring at it cross eyed."

"That meant you too, Gennosuke."

"Hmmph."

"Why are we all staring at this, anyway?"

"Because we're not sure if it's dead now and no one wants to touch it if it's dead."

"..."

And with that, 'Tarou sneezed, the butterfly fell off and they all found out that it was dead after all. "Thanks, Dad!" 'Tarou said, sniffling, and shuffling off to practice with everyone else.

Prompt: Image #9 - Sea

Yanagi 'Tarou stood on the pier, staring out at an ocean that reached far beyond what he could actually see. His two best friends came up quietly behind him.

"We've been looking for you. What are you doing?"

'Tarou turned around, looking at them. "Wondering what's out there." He answered simply, turning around, and started walking.

"'Tarou?" Seiji asked, a bit concerned. 'Tarou smiled at him. Seiji relaxed and smiled as well, falling in step with them. "It's not really much different here than it is over there. Just the language is different."

'Tarou looked at him. "I always forget you grew up in America. It seems like you've been with us forever."

Seiji smiled. "I have in a way." He said. "Yanagi-sensei used to send my dad video of you and Gennosuke playing against each other." 'Tarou groaned at hearing that. "You two actually gave me some ideas on how to play against Dad, oddly enough."

"Glad to have helped." 'Nosuke said, looking away, slightly embarrassed as well.

Seiji wrapped his arms around his two best friends in the world. "Wherever we're going, whatever we do, we'll do it together." He promised.

'Tarou smiled a little. With these two, he could believe it. "Together." 'Tarou and 'Nosuke echoed in unison, laughing as they noticed that.

"We'll go around the world and cross the oceans. We'll be unstoppable." Seiji said, laughing as well. This is what friends were for - helping you realize your dreams and creating new ones with them.

Note: I found this lying around on my desktop. I somehow think there was a prompt, but I have no idea what it might have been. It also feels unfinished, but I don't think I'll finish it. Unless I can think of confessions from the rest of the team.

The suggestion box had become more of a confessional than any containment chamber for actual suggestions.

~I can't keep this a secret any more - I play CCGs! Pokemon, Yugioh, you name, I collect and play the cards.~ The slip of paper read.

"That's not a secret." Renji said under his breath.

"Be nice, Renji." Yukimura said, but was chuckling as well as he pulled out the next piece of paper.

~I'm an alcoholic~

The two just stared at it. "That's Niou's handwriting, so that either is a confession, or a joke like usual." Renji said quietly.

~I want to grow my hair back out~

"Jackal." They said in unison.

Hi. :D This is just an announcement letting everyone know that there have been more tables added to the Prompt Tables, and the list of tables being worked on, and completed, has been updated here.

If anyone has finished the prompts they're working on and I didn't get catch it, let me know, or if you wish to give up your claim, let me know as well.

Title: Lost in the Woods
Author: Mizu willowscry
Rating: PG
Word count: 498
Prompt: Image #3 - totem pole
Note: Chibi-Troika - as 3rd years - and a few of their teammates

"Okay, this is like the third time we've passed this thing." 'Tarou said, sitting down in front of the freaky looking totem pole.

"No kidding, sempai." One of the younger members of the team said, kicking at a random tree.

"We. Are. Not. Lost." Gennosuke said, pausing between each word.

Seiji sighed, pulling the map out of Gennosuke's hands, muttering curses in English about him. "Akame, be nice to your sempai." He said louder as he tried to figure out where the other half of his team was.

"You know, this totem pole thing reminds me of you guys." Akame said, looking at it. "Yanagi-sempai is the bunny holding everyone up, fukubucho is the stupid looking thing in the middle, and bucho is the proud eagle holding you all down."

'Tarou sighed. "Don't be stupid, Akame. Seiji's the bunny, Gennosuke is the eagle and I'm the old man."

Seiji laughed at that. "Just because Snowdrop's been in the family for almost 25 years does not mean I *am* a bunny."

'Tarou smiled at that. "Ah, but you have the speed of a rabbit, Gennosuke has the pride, and I have the light of wisdom guiding us."

Gennosuke looked at 'Tarou. "So you're saying you have a light sticking out of your head?"

"Something like that." 'Tarou replied. "Daisuke, Hiroki, Tomo, and Makoto have a map as well, Seiji. Don't you think they'll find us if we stay put?"

"Some team bonding exercise." Akame said, pouting a bit.

"Of course they will." Seiji said, sitting down next to 'Tarou, smiling happily. "Sit down you two, we'll tell ghost stories until the others - or Yanagi-sensei - find us." Seiji turned to Gennosuke. "And you're no longer allowed to carry the map."

"I could have told you that he'd get us lost, but you wouldn't believe me." 'Tarou said. "At least we don't have both Hiroki and Akame."

"Hey, us second years rule!"

"Not when you're pranking everyone." Gennosuke said, annoyed at both 'Tarou for not having faith in him and Akame on general principle. "And I've actually improved in my geography."

"Not enough that you still can't get large groups of people lost." 'Tarou said, smiling a little. "It's alright, Gennosuke. We're not mad at you."

"I am!" Akame piped up.

"You don't count." Seiji said, smiling. The team bonding exercise may have been a failure, but being with his best friends and his favorite kouhai certainly made up for it.

It was almost dark when they saw the shock of bright red hair of Daisuke and the almost pure white of Hiroki's. "It's about time you guys!"

"We were expecting you earlier." 'Tarou said, getting up, dragging Akame up with him, leaving Seiji and Gennosuke to get up. "Gennosuke got us lost. We figured we'd wait near a landmark."

"I did not get us lost!" Gennosuke piped up.

Hiroki gave him a look of disbelief. "Yeah, sure you didn't, fukubucho. We've all heard Yanagi-sempai's tales."

"Rentarou, you're dead."

Author: Mizu willowscry
Rating: G
Word count: 147
Prompt: Image #8 - Microphone
Summary: Seiji sings a "classic" song for Ami-chan. 'Tarou and 'Nosuke sing back up.

There was a distinct lack of any sort response. 'Tarou stared at the girls that had accompanied him and his friends to the karaoke lounge.

"That was..."

"A spectacular..."

"Failure!" The three girls chorused.

"Gennosuke-kun's voice is too high to mesh well with 'Tarou and Seiji-kun's." Sadako said.

"I'm sure his voice will be very sexy once it changes." Hanako said, grinning. Ami and Sadako scooted away from her again.

"And...considering 'Tarou was doing back up, that was a rather creepy song you chose, Seiji-kun." Ami said, blushing bright red.

"They said I had to sing. Not like I wanted to sing back up to a song like that when my sister was going to hear it!" 'Tarou muttered, almost blushing as brightly as his sister. "I will be happy if I never hear 'Valentine Kiss' again." He muttered, wishing he could hide and maybe die.

"Ne, nii-chan? What's a strong color?" Yanagi Ami asked as she considered the next color to use on the picture she was drawing.

"Yellow." 'Tarou answered his little sister who was sitting at the kitchen table where he was also coloring on some scratch paper. Their mother had told them to be quiet for a while and had set the paper and crayons on the table.

"Why?" Asked 'Tarou's best friend, Sanada Gennosuke.

"Yeah, why, nii-chan?" Ami echoed.

"Because yellow is the color 'Nosuke and me will be wearing when we kick ass at Nationals in junior high."

"Watch your language Rentarou!" His mother yelled from across the house.

Ami giggled as 'Tarou sighed.
