WOW! I certainly never expected to get as many fans as I did after a single chapter! And since you all seem to like it so much, and I do like my fans, here's the next portion of the story for you all to enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: 'The World Ends With You' is owned by Square Enix and Jupiter. I have no idea who first came up with the OC quiz this story is focused around, but whoever he/she is probably wouldn't like it if I didn't mention him/her at all.


2) 9 tries to get 5 to go to a yoga class. What happens?

"Brother, I'd hate to be rude, but…did you crash into a wall again recently?"

It hadn't been one of the best days in Shibuya, but it was still quite nice. Though many people had decided to stay inside, fearing that a downpour could occur at any moment, others jumped at the chance to get out and about when the streets were less crowded than usual. Beat and Rhyme were two of those people, and had been spending a nice day just walking down the streets…until Beat caught sight of a building offering free yoga classes. Since Beat was the rough-and-tumble type, and this activity was neither rough nor involved tumbles, Rhyme felt she had the right to be skeptical of this interest.

"Well, yeah…but that's not why I think this looks cool," Beat replied, staring into a window of the building and watching the people inside stretch out. "Do ya see how far these guys can stretch? That's tight, yo! If I could stretch like that, Tony Hawk would have a run for his money! C'mon, sis; let's at least try it out!"

It took little else to provoke Rhyme into joining her brother, if for no other reason than she was proud that Beat was becoming better-rounded. They headed inside, where the siblings signed up, and were soon given some outfits that were looser than their current attire. Once they were changed, they were ready to take the next available class…which, save for Beat, was completely filled with chicks. It took all of Beat's willpower not to whistle like a wolf with his sister so close by.

"Welcome, everyone, and thank you for choosing to follow your interest in mastering your Chi," the instructor greeted, once everybody had sat down. "Now, as you know, free courses like this are but samples of what you can achieve with a full membership. However, even if you choose not to continue this path in life, I promise you will still walk away with great skill."

And so, the class officially began. Beat had some difficulty at first, not only because of the numerous female distractions, but also because his body wasn't as willing to stretch into so many positions as his mind was. Eventually, though, he limbered out, and got the hang of it. Rhyme was a completely reverse case; she found it easy to relax her muscles and mind at first, but when the class moved on to tougher positions, she had a bit of difficulty getting in and out of them. Thankfully, the teacher was a nice guy, and helped her out when she needed some assistance.

About an hour later, the class had ended. The two siblings felt a tad sore, but otherwise fine. Rhyme, for one, certainly enjoyed the experience. Not only was it fun, it was also somewhat relaxing. Even better, it showed that Beat was not just the same 'do first, think later' he had been before. Indeed, her brother was expanding his interests, and probably becoming a better person because of it.

"Hey, Rhyme! Check this out; this flyer I found says that there's a 'Circus Camp' at Miyashita Park! This week only, guys like us can learn how to juggle, or walk on tightropes…we could even tame lions! We've just GOT to try it out, sis; this is too cool to pass up!"

…Then again, there was something to be said for sticking to one's roots…

3) You need to stay at a friend's house for the night. Do you choose 1 or 6?

It was an average afternoon as Neku walked away from his mother and father, who were standing outside of a burning building. To be specific, it was the building they lived in. Long story short, the ink in Mrs. Sakuraba's cookbook had worn away with time, and she misinterpreted how long she should have let a chicken roast in the oven. After a quick evacuation of the building, and alerting the fire department of the events, Neku had been asked by his parents to find some place for them to stay for the night while they were busy having a long chat with their insurance agents.

While on his way to the nearest hotel, he coincidentally bumped into Shiki. She asked why he looked even more emo than he had when he first met, and told her about what had happened. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" Shiki exclaimed after hearing the tale. "I mean, I didn't cause it, but I can just feel what you're feeling right now! I wish I could help you right now…oh, I know! Instead of having to pay to stay at some cheap hotel, your family could stay with mine! It'll be so great!"

Neku had to pause and think for a few seconds. It was certainly nice of Shiki to make an offer like that, but he didn't want to put her…or her parents, who had no idea what was transpiring right there and then…through any grief he was going through. Plus, he wasn't entirely certain what Shiki meant by 'it'll be so great'. After all, this was the girl that had made him remove his pants in public…sure, people couldn't see them at the time, since they were in the UG, but still! "…I'll have to think about it," Neku told her after he thought everything through, coming to the conclusion that he should leave his options open just in case, before leaving the area.

Eventually, Neku made it to the hotel, only to find out that all the rooms had been booked for the night. He was about to leave the building, when he heard an eerily familiar name call out towards him. Turning around, Neku's face almost went completely pale, as he was now looking straight ahead at the Iron Maiden herself. Neku was going to yell about what she was doing here, especially since he and Beat had erased her in the past, but knew that it would only lead to trouble if he did so in a crowded place such as the building he was in right now. So, he merely asked, "What the heck do you want?"

"News travels fast in this town. I heard that you and your parents were out of a home, and I just wanted to give you a hand," Konishi replied as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a key to one of the rooms in the hotel. "So, I came down here as quick as I could, and purchased a room for your family to use before anyone else bought it."

"What's the catch?" Neku inquired, having a feeling that the lady he was dealing with had some kind of ulterior motive in mind, based on those previous encounters with her in the UG.

"What part of 'I just wanted to give you a hand' didn't you understand?" Konishi asked with a grimace. After a few moments of silence, and Neku constantly glaring at her, Konishi realized that the former Player wasn't going to accept an answer as simple as that. With a frown, she told him, "Fine; there IS another reason. The room for you and your family is connected to the room that I'll be staying in. And ever since that victory you had over me, I've been curious about your true potential. I've been meaning to study your talents for quite some time, and this is the perfect opportunity. Now, be a good boy, and accept this offer."

Neku once more pondered over the pros and cons to accepting this invitation. On the plus side, he would get exactly what his parents had wanted him to, and he wouldn't be of any trouble to Shiki's family. But, was it really worth it to have the Iron Maiden so close by, trying to figure out why he was able to kick her behind in the Reaper's Game? Plus, even though there was no evidence against it, being studied was probably not the only thing Konishi had in mind for him. "No deal, Konishi. There's no way I'm going to be your test subject," Neku told her as he left the building. Konishi scowled behind his back; now she'd never be able to make friends with his family, which would allow her to make Neku do anything she pleased by telling his parents that there was a good reason why he must do it, or by just kidnapping the parents and holding them hostage until she was done using Neku as a servant. Oh well.

Later that night, Mr. and Mrs. Sakuraba were having a wonderful time with the Misaki family. Though it had taken some time for Shiki to get her parents to take them in for the night, they eventually gave in, and were now glad to have Neku's parents over as guests. As they talked to each other in the main quarters, sharing stories about themselves and their children, Neku was in Shiki's room, not having as great a time as the rest of the family. You see, Shiki had decided on a whim that she should practice designing boy's clothing as well as girl's, and wanted to use him for a model. He was now wearing what could only be described as something from the back Elton John's closet, but as he reminded himself, at least this was 'the better option'.

"There; that's not so bad for a first try, is it?" Shiki rhetorically asked as she stared at her creation. "Now, what to try next…oh, I know! Footie pajamas!"

…Make that 'the lesser of two evils'.


The next chapter, when I get around to it, will have three more scenarios where nothing but hilarity will undoubtably ensue. Don't miss it!
