This story started off as a drabble in my journal. I thought about it, and decided to flesh it out. There's actually more to this chapter, but I decided to cut it to leave a bit of suspense... I know, it's ridiculously short, but I won't keep you waiting long for the next piece.
This is my first fan fiction, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
As much as I wish I did, I don't own Azumanga Daioh...
Trivia - Chapter 1
Nyamo sat at the table fidgeting with her cup of tea. This was the third night Yukari had gone out with her new boyfriend Kazuya. Usually on a Friday night like this Nyamo and Yukari would be at a bar spending their paychecks on sake and yakitori. Instead, Nyamo had nothing to do.
It would be safe to say that Kazuya was the male version of Yukari. After all, they were both interested in the same things, and both had dangerously short tempers. Yukari had met Kazuya two weeks ago at a Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) tournament in Shibuya:
The arcade was filled with teens and young adults alike, all crowded around the DDR machine where two people were facing off in an intense dance battle. On one side was the two-year reigning champion, Kazuya Uemura. On the other was a woman who some could identify as the English teacher from a local high school.
"You're pretty good" Kazuya called to the teacher.
"Hmph! Make sure you have your money ready" she responded. Yukari's eyes were fixed on the game screen, trying not to break her combo.
The music got faster as the two progressed to the next level. An hour and a half had gone by since the challenge had started, and it showed no signs of slowing down. Kazuya and Yukari were neck and neck in score.
"C'mon Kazuya! Show this loser who's the champ!" an anonymous member of the crowd yelled.
"Son of a Bitch! I'll show em' who's the loser " Yukari grunted under her breath.
In a slick motion, Yukari tossed a marble onto Kazuya's dance pad, causing him to slip. He broke his fall by gripping one of the sidebars. Despite Kazuya's effort to restore his points lost, Yukari's score had far surpassed his by the time he regained his balance.
The round came to a close and
Yukari was declared the winner. The Arcade owner presented her with a gold-toned DDR championship trophy which she waved in Kazuya' face. "Ha,
Ha! Who's the champ now!" Yukari teased.
"I just slipped! If it weren't for that, I would be rubbing that trophy in your face!" Kazuya shouted back.
"Whatever loser! Just pay up!"
Kazuya reached down into his pocket and pulled out a 10,000 yen bill. He slapped it into Yukari's hand "There!"
Yukari quickly stuffed the bill in her pocket and stepped off the platform. Kazuya looked on from the platform, scowling, as Yukari was showered with cheers from the crowd. There was no way that he could allow her to get away with humiliating him. His mind raced to think of a way to get his money, and his pride back.
Just as Yukari was about to make her way out of the arcade, Kazuya stopped her at the door. "Hey! Wait up!" he called from the platform.
"What now!" she responded.
"You and Me! Drinking contest! Whoever wins, pays for the drinks AND coughs up 10,000 yen."
The crowd gasped .Their heads soon turned to Yukari, awaiting her answer to the bold challenge.
"Are you addicted to losing or somethin'?" she replied sarcastically
"Do you accept my challenge or not?"
Yukari couldn't resist, what could be better than free drinks and 20,000 yen? "Fine, I accept! But be warned, you don't know who you're up against!"
"Let's see about that!" Kazuya was sure of himself. There was no way he could lose...
