Here Round Three: RYO VS ???
His small hand wrapped around a block, he gingerly pulled it out and unthinkingly glanced down at it. Ryo stared at the small blue block absolutely horrified.
“EH?!” was the only reaction he could muster, as he stared, utterly horrified with the outcome.
“What is it?” Tegoshi whispered, trying to take a peek at the block, but was quickly beaten to it by an eager Ohkura, who quickly snatched it out of Ryo’s hands.
Knowing Ryo, he may ‘mistakenly’ drop the block back into the bag, and pull another out. Yes, Ryo-chan can be very mischievous sometimes.
The small block was dark red, as were all the blocks from the bag. Ohkura stared at the characters written on the block and had to stifle a snort. Of course Ryo would freak out about facing this particular person, and not at all for the reason of intimidation. Rather the reaction seemed to be of just sheer irritation.
“And Ryo-chan’s opponent for next week will be…TAGUCHI JUNNOSUKE!” Ohkura cried, happily.
“EH?!” was the general reaction from both sides, except that is Taguchi who merely nodded, and smiled.
Jin looked appalled; Nakamaru just looked shocked, while Ueda looked annoyed. It was a rather strange reaction.
Tegoshi and Masuda were trying to stifle their giggles, while Koyama looked worried, and tried to comfort a very annoyed Ryo.
“And now Taguchi will decide what the event type will be,” Ohkura announced, pulling a befuddled Taguchi forward.
Slowly, Taguchi extended his hand into the unknown depths of the drawstring bag and allowed his fingertips to roam about. Gingerly his fingers closed around one block, which he pulled out. It was blue, with an insignia of chopsticks stamped onto it.
“Huh?”
Ohkura snatched the block out of Taguchi’s limp hands, he glanced at the card in his hand. “Ah, Taguchi has selected….the FOOD CHALLENGE!”
“EH?!”
“Is that the only thing you guys can say?” Ohkura burst out, surprising everyone.
Ryo pouted, and Ohkura let out a sigh, he’d be paying for the outburst later…

“You’re not going to lose to that short little man!” Ueda announced, once the group had successfully exited the studio and were now sitting at a local café, drinking tea.
“I don’t plan to,” Taguchi replied calmly, taking a small sip from his tea.
“Really, and what exactly do you know about food?” Jin asked.
“Not a lot, but probably a lot more than Nishikido,” Taguchi answered, nonchalantly.
“Taguchi’s tough now?” Nakamaru boomed.
“Damn straight!” Taguchi replied, banging a fist on the table. Somehow this made Nakamaru turn a bit pink, leading to a few snickers from Jin.
Ueda looked unfazed by Jin’s loud snicker of “he said straight! Maru!” which in turn resulted in a swat to the head from a very pink Nakamaru.
Taguchi stared at them curiously, “ignore them,” Ueda commanded. Taguchi complied with a shrug.
“It’ll probably be a question type thing again,” Jin said, his voice slightly muffled by Nakamaru’s hand that was pressing against his face.
Really nothing worked on shutting Jin up, at least when there wasn’t a camera on him. It was times like these that Nakamaru wished the entire group was on one of those strange reality TV shows, then perhaps he wouldn’t have to deal with Jin’s pig-headedness, or rather perverted remarks that would undoubtedly be edited out.
“Hey, that’s mean Nakamaru!” Taguchi called out.
“What?” he asked, perplexed, and turned to find Jin pouting with a ‘hurt’ look on his face. Had he perhaps said that out loud?
“That really was pretty mean,” Ueda conceded, making Nakamaru flush with embarrassment, and then anger as Taguchi leaned over and gave Jin a comforting pat on the back.
He just couldn’t win.
* * *
“It’ll be an easy win,” Tegoshi declared, while Ryo let out an exhausted sigh.
“I’ve no doubt about that,” Ryo replied. “But why am I the one stuck with Taguchi? I swear I’m going to have the biggest headache, after dealing with him for an hour,” Ryo complained, tiredly.
“Aw, come on he’s not too bad,” Masuda reasoned. “I mean sure his jokes can be a bit much, but they’re better than listening to Pi go into one of his long pointless stories, or listen to Tegoshi talk about his new lyrics.”
“Hey, my lyrics are a lot better now,” Tegoshi replied defensively.
“Not that much better,” Ryo said with a snort, that earned him a pout from the certified ‘prince’ or ‘princess’ of the group.
Not wanting a war to start, as would undoubtedly happen if Tegoshi decided to extract revenge through a very bad prank later on, Koyama decided to intervene.
“Of course your lyrics have improved, Tegoshi,” Koyama interjected, soothingly, petting Tegoshi absently on the head.
Tegoshi smiled balefully at Ryo, from under Koyama’s arm, noting the sour expression on his face, and grinned.
“It’ll be fine, Ryo,” Koyama added. “Taguchi isn’t all that annoying, he can be quite sweet and next week Tanaka and Akanishi will make sure he keeps his mouth shut.”
“That’s true,” Masuda added, “Tanaka’s kicks do look awfully painful.”
“They are!” Tegoshi said, “he kicked me once.”
“WHY?!” Ryo asked, looking rather offended. Nobody messed with Tegoshi, that was his little friend and not just anybody had the liberty to go and kick him as they please. Heck, no one within the group was allowed to bother Tegoshi, it was Tegoshi’s job to annoy the living daylights out of everyone. He was the sweet kitten that Ryo had himself raised and spoiled from the time they had formed.
Teaching him how to dress properly, defending him from the others, making sure he ate properly and was always taken care of, Ryo felt as though Tegoshi were his own personal kitten, a baby he’d raised. And spoiled even under Yamapi’s ill-advisement. And so hearing that anyone had dared knock Tegoshi around even as a joke was enough to make Ryo’s head spin in anger.
Yes, Ryo was quite possessive.
“He just yelled at me to be a man, because I let these two guys take our movie tickets because they were my senpai,” Tegoshi said with a shrug.
“Did it hurt?” Masuda asked, awed slightly.
“A bit,” Tegoshi said with a shrug, completely oblivious to the darkening look on Ryo’s face.
“Taguchi’s going down!” Ryo suddenly burst, a strangely maniac look in his eye.
“Well, obviously Ryo-tan will beat Taguchi-kun!” Tegoshi said, smiling brightly.
“Tegoshi is dangerous,” Masuda said, when both Tegoshi and Ryo had left.
Koyama nodded, “Remind me to check Ryo’s pockets for laxatives next week.”
“Yessir!” Masuda saluted, in agreement, before he continued his ritual of cleaning his area impeccably.
“And remind me to set you up on an appointment to see a psychiatrist,” Koyama muttered.
* * *
Yamapi was nervous, no not just nervous he was terrified. Knowing how competitive Ryo was, and knowing how annoying Taguchi could be with his endless stream of puns.
Yamapi conceded it was talent, although he agreed with Jin in that it was a rather useless talent, and always lead to a headache. In actuality after talking to Taguchi long enough, he himself had ended up speaking with puns in every other sentence, it was quite troublesome, and was also one of the reasons he stayed clear of Taguchi.
Even if the guy seemed to be as adorably precious beyond words with his every present, smile.
With a sigh he entered the dressing room that was specifically set aside for the debuted senpai, envisioning the typical, but was rather surprised to find the room to be rather crowded. Not only were the other five members of NEWS present, but so were four out of six members of KAT-TUN.
“You’re late,” Kamenashi stated, much to Yamapi’s annoyance. Kamenashi was such a stickler for time.
“I’m not the only one,” Yamapi complained noting his best friend’s absence along with Ueda’s.
“Akanishi’s here, he just went off to get something to drink,” Tegoshi explained, from his place between Ryo and Koyama.
“And Uepi just decided he needed a walk,” Taguchi added.
Yamapi could only just stare around at the strange array of the dressing room, Shige sat, squished beside Nakamaru, both reading; Shige over a script with a thick book in his other hands, while Nakamaru was busily highlighting every other word out of his textbook. Masuda was calmly tying his shoelaces, and tweaking the many bottles scattered on the table into even intervals.
Tegoshi sat, crammed between a sour looking Ryo that was gently working his fingers through the younger man’s hair. Koyama sat on his other side reading a rather boring looking book.
Kamenashi stood before the mirror, fixing his hair, and casting furtive glances at everyone through the reflections. And Taguchi and Tanaka were talking rather boisterously, Taguchi earning a few dirty looks from Ryo in the process.
“Why?” Yamapi began, but was cut off by Ryo;s sharp reply.
“There was some kind of weird break in their room’s pipe,” Ryo said, rather sharply. Yamapi could tell he wasn’t that happy.
“It’s great luck really,” Koki called from across the room, and motioned for Yamapi to join him.
Yamapi complied, much to Ryo’s annoyance, his possessiveness kicking in again, as he sourly pulled Tegoshi a bit closer and glared at Kamenashi who looked to be about to engage the younger man in conversation.
Kamenashi let out a sigh, maybe Ueda was right to take a quick walk around the station. Wondering where the boxer was Kamenashi toyed with the thought of going off to find him, but was quickly shaken out of such a thought, when Jin came barging in, his hair in complete disarray and a bit wet.
“Jin, what the hell happened to you?” Yamapi asked, awestruck by his best friends completely disheveled look.
“You look like crap!” Ryo said, unable to stop himself, and received a rather sharp jab to the ribs from Tegoshi’s elbow.
“Ueda got a bit ticked off, and smacked me on the head, with my water bottle,” Jin explained. He didn’t seem at all perturbed by this, and neither did any of the other members of KAT-TUN. Nakamaru didn’t even bother to look up from his textbook, and continued on his highlighting tirade.
Koki merely smirked, while Kamenashi gave an exasperated sigh.
“What did you do now?” he asked, as he gingerly attempted to fix Jin’s now unruly hair.
“Nothing really,” Jin replied with a shrug, and pulled away from Kamenashi.
“But my hair’s messed up!” he cried, looking like an infant as he waved his hands. Yamapi looked unimpressed.
Ryo however took pity on him, “Shige help him with his hair.”
Shige snapped his head up, “huh?”
“Help him fix his hair,” Ryo repeated, completely ignoring the grotesque look Koyama was giving him.
“Eh? But Shige was supposed to do my hair!” Tegoshi complained.
“You’re hair is fine, Jin’s looks like a wet rat’s,” Taguchi said.
And it was true, Jin’s hair was rather matted and very unattractive, clinging lightly to his head.
“You really should fix his hair,” Yamapi said.
Shige let out a long sigh, he still had quite a bit to do, but he got to his feet and shuffled Jin forward towards the mirror and proceeded to heat up the hair straightener and blow drier.
Koki stared on, aghast that Shige had actually gotten up to do Jin’s hair. “He really doesn’t have a back bone, does he?” he muttered to Taguchi, who let out a giggle, but continued to play on and quickly defeated Koki, by destroying his battleship.
“HEY!” Koki cried, indignantly as his screen flashed ‘game over’.
“Yosh!” Taguchi, and stretched a bit.
The group’s interactions were cut short when the PA gave a sharp knock, and entered with Ueda on her heels.
“It’s time,” she said rather primly.
It took a few minutes, but eventually they all were able to exit the small dressing room and make their way onto the stage.
“She doesn’t look too happy,” Tegoshi noted.
“Ueda probably tried to pick her up,” Ryo muttered back, causing the shorter man to choke on his laugh when he noticed the glare from Ueda.
Ueda’s glare really aught to be one for the books, considering how the target of said glare could always feel a chill run down their spine, especially considering that Ueda alone could send them to hospital and have them come back in a body cast.
Tegoshi made sure to avoid eye contact with him, for the duration of the show. Ryo however did nothing of the sort, and beadily continued to give the boxer a cold look, even from across the stage, as the groups were split to each side of the stage.
This week’s host was Yasu of Kanjani8, and he spoke quite energetically and rather cutely.
“DOMO!” He cried out, smiling.
The audience squealed.
“This week’s game is between Ryo-chan and Taguchi-kun,” Yasu announced, ushering both men towards the center of the stage beside him.
Ryo sauntered towards Yasu, and gave him a pet on the head, while Taguchi followed the instructions and smiled, complacently.
A pair of juniors walked onto the stage, one of them holding an envelope that Yasu eagerly took from him.
He nearly ripped the envelope in his haste, and as he read it his sweet, little eyes brightened, and an impeccable smile wrought across his face.
He positively beamed. Ryo and Taguchi tensed a bit, neither too sure how to react to Yasu’s apparent joy.
“It’s an eating contest!” he cried, happily.
Ryo nearly fell over, an eating contest? What was up with that?
Taguchi just looked surprised. I wonder what we’ll have to eat?
Again two juniors came onto the stage pushing two carts out, both with a plate and a very large cover.
“And you will be eating...” Yasu signaled the two juniors, and in unison the two pulled the lids off.
Jin had to choke back a laugh, “Nakamaru, it looks like Taguchi’s going to have practice!” The remark earned a sharp elbow to the ribs from Nakamaru, and a swift smack to the head from Kamenashi.
“Oh no!” Tegoshi all but wailed. “Ryo-tan’s going to need to go to the dentist!”
The audiences general reaction seemed to mirror Tegoshi’s, as it seemed to be a well-known fact that Ryo hated dentists.
“This is a joke right?” Ryo asked.
Yasu shook his head, “but don’t worry we do have a dentist on standby in case you fo end up getting a toothache.” And almost by magic an old, rather serious looking man was pulled onto the stage.
Ryo glanced at him, and felt his blood run cold.
“Nishikido-kun,” the doctor waved, “I haven’t seen you in nearly a year and half.”
This was a nightmare, it must be a joke.

Author's Note: So it's been a while since I last updated, sorry =( But I've been pretty busy, as it's nearing the end of the school year, and my teachers have decided to add alot of last minute projects. Especially my English teacher, but I can't complain, he's expanded my vocabulary XD
And along with that I've been doing some job hunting, and hey look, the fruits of my labor have yet to reap anything.
ANYWAY I hope you liked this, I know not alot has happened, but it's mostly a set up for the next part, which will probably lead me to up the rating as Jin and Ueda seem to have a wonderful way of using double meaning XD
And just to not leave you all hanging until I next update I'll give you a clue for the next part. Lollipop.
