Chapter 5

Sunao took a little while to come back from the shock of finding out that Matsuri was helping the enemies. He had to inform Shinichirou that this simple, 'fun' event was getting out of control. Was Sora that popular amongst everyone in the school? And what was this whole list of people helping that Yuki guy catch Sora? And now, if that was not enough, Matsuri was helping them. This was turning serious in Sunao's point of view. Well, anything involving anyone hiring so many people to get you is pretty serious…

Sunao made sure that there was no one around that might sneak up on him. He had been so concerned about this chain of discoveries that he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings. He stood up, placed the list on his pocket for future evidence, and began to run towards the school grounds.

The first thing he noticed as he entered school grounds was that there was no students around. No one. The only few people he saw were teachers. Was this event taken this seriously? Even the book nerds weren't in school. It was strange for Sunao to picture well over a thousand students chasing Sora.

Many teachers seemed to be taking this day as a free day inside school grounds. Sunao saw a couple of teachers sitting down outside smoking, or chatting with a group of other teachers. They didn't seem to mind. Sunao thought for a minute and laughed, surely, he thought, Nanami-chan would mind. He was already angry about people skipping their time in the clinic to go join the event. Silently, Sunao resumed walking , making sure that there was no one around.

Once safely inside the building, he began to look inside every room he could to find any trace of Shinichirou or Nanami…then again, if he found Shinichirou, then he would surely find Nanami.

His dress was beginning to bother the hell out of him, every time he had to go up the stairs, he would almost trip on the thing. This year, they apparently made the dress bigger than last year. Perhaps Matsuri thought he grew….? Aggravated, Sunao resumed his search hoping that he would find either one of them in time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora was running out of breath. There were as many as 20 different people right after him, not to mention the other 30 after them. He didn't have the choice of stopping, so he would simply keep running until his legs gave out. This, however, was very hard to do. He had been running for at least 30 minutes non-stop, it was unbelievable how no one got tired!

It was a good thing that Sora was in good shape, otherwise, it would have been catastrophic. But even though he was in good shape, running for a half an hour was already punishment for Sora. He had to stop, and soon.

Sora continued to run and made an extreme effort to outrun the others just enough so that he could ditch them somehow. When he felt one hand start to grab him, he took that as a signal and with his eyes closed, he sprinted. He ran and ran as fast and far as his feet would take him until he could go no further. Fortunately, he did get a lead and he was ahead of the crowd. The people that were now going to sprint to catch him started yelling and pushing each other to get through, but before Sora saw if they made it or not, he dodged down and , like before, hid in a big row of bushes.

To his relief he heard a couple of people running past the bushes, but he knew he had to get away from there. Not everyone was that stupid. With much difficulty, he made his way along the rows of bushes, scratching himself all over his body with the rough branches. Just when he thought that he was finally safe, at least, for now, he found himself conveniently bumping into a person's legs while trying to get out of the bushes.

The guy he bumped into leaned down very, very slowly and as he came face to face with Sora, his face broke into a huge grin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shinichirou! Where are you!"

Sunao continued to yell out his name all over the school grounds, not caring about getting caught by anyone right now. His goal at the moment was to find Shinichirou and maybe he could do something about this whole situation.

"Sunao-kun?" came a voice from behind the furthest side of the school's building. Sunao quickly turned to see who it was.

"Nanami-chan!" exclaimed Sunao, running towards him.

"Where's Shinichirou? I need to talk to him, quick!"

"Wait, wait, what's wrong? …What's that you got?" asked Nanami as he failed to ignore the paper that Sunao was waving in front of his face.

" No time to explain, I need to find Shinichirou--"

"No need for that…" a taller man came out from the same place where Nanami came out, he was hastily fixing his shirt and tie, at the same time, looking at Sunao with a confused expression.

Sunao chose not to question why Shinichirou was in that state…perhaps late. Right now he was just concerned about telling him what had happened.

"Now, what's all this fuss about?" asked Shinichirou.

"It's about a group of gang guys that are after Sora"

"…..excuse me?" Shinichirou's eyebrows came together in a very confused look. "Gang members?"

"Well, I'm not sure really, but I know they're trying to get him. That Yuki guy that wrote to Matsuri, he's the one behind all this! He even hired people to help him catch him." He stopped to see any reaction from Shinichirou, Nanami was already with his hands over his mouth. Sunao continued. "I have the list he dropped when he was chasing us, it ahs the names of all the ones helping him on this."

"Let me see it" Shinichirou sounded very upset but was trying his best to stay calm.

Sunao hand went in his pocket for search of the piece of paper…where? Sunao's eyes widened, the paper was no longer in his pocket. Did he drop it! He looked at Shinichirou with a panicked expression….this whole situation was making Sunao more nervous than he should be.

"I….I don't know where it is….I had it in my pocket. But that's not the worst part…..there's someone we know involved in this….it's…Matsuri…"

"Matsuri!"

"GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU ALL! THIS IS MATSURI SPEAKING, YOUR ONE AND ONLY PERSON IN CHARGE OF FUN EVENTS!"

Matsuri's voice penetrated into Sunao's brain as if he were standing right next to him and yelling in his ear. That microphone, thought Sunao, has to be fixed. What a minute…MICROPHONE!

Sunao's heart sank into his stomach as he came to the events….microphone plus Matsuri's voice meant that the event was over…Sunao, Nanami and Shinichirou looked at each other and rushed towards the huge stage where it had all began. Matsuri was standing on the stage beaming at everyone with a huge, radiant smile. The people, on the other hand, looked like zombies, they were all sweating and drinking as much water as they could while listening to Matsuri. Everyone was slowly gathering around as Matsuri continued. People were approaching him from all kinds of different places.

"Yes! Well, it seems like we have a winner!" said Matsuri.

Everyone that at one moment seemed to be as dead as a zombie, came back to life. People started cheering and yelling both in aggravation and amusement. At this, Matsuri continued.

"The one caught has been: Hashiba Sora!. He will now be facing a 24 hour 'servant' life with his new master….Sanaku Yuki!"

Tons of cheers and applauses were heard along with 'boos' and complaints. Matsuri pointed towards the back of the stage where two shadows were approaching. There was definitely something wrong with this. One of the guys was…handcuffed?

Sanaku Yuki stepped out of the shadows and beamed at the people, he seemed to be extremely proud of himself. He quickly looked back and gently pulled onto the chains he was holding, a handcuffed, severely bruised Sora came out from the shadows as well, standing next to Yuki. He looked very pale. Apparently very ashamed of himself for being caught. Sunao remembered Sora telling him that he dreaded getting caught by anyone, especially Yuki.

Sunao stared in disbelief as he saw Yuki grab Sora by his waist and pull him towards him. He whispered something in his ear that the audience obviously could not hear and Sunao saw Sora blush. This made him very upset. After all, if it wasn't for Sora, Sunao would've definitely gotten caught. With another earsplitting comment, Matsuri continued.

"Thanks to everyone who participated in today's event! And…" He looked directly at Fujimori "…congratulations to Sunao-kun for not getting caught! Thankfully, Sora would go through everything they make him do instead of you." he gave a small giggle and continued.

"Now remember, you cannot interfere with the 24 hours granted to Yuki. Sora is to be used as a servant so to speak. With that, all I have to say is…good luck Sora-kun and…" he got very serious."…fun's over! Everyone go back to class!"

With that, teachers began to call everyone back inside. Sunao tried to make his way towards the stage to try to see if Sora was alright, but, mixed in a train of though and mixed in between thousands of people walking towards him, he lost sight of Sora and Yuki not knowing which way they went.
