Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis *immediately goes to corner and sobs*
Jackal was up on Ryoma's roof for reasons unknown. Tezuka has placed him there in case of an aerial attack. Although Jackal highly doubted that teenagers would be able to fly a plane over the Echizen household.
He sat there eating some food he stole out of Ryoma's fridge. The food that Dan was supposed to be bringing back never arrived, so he had to settle for drastic measures.
The only thing in Ryoma's fridge was Ponta. Just grape ponta. It was amazing the kid was still healthy after only drinking ponta. Jackal was lucky and found some food in
the cupboard so he didn't starve.
He sat there munching on some dried up protein bars that had long since expired, but Jackal wasn't about to complain. His stomach's growling was really getting to him, so the expired protein bars were the only way to go.
Throughout the day Jackal had heard gun shots, screams, complaining, cat's meowing, and of course Eiji's obnoxious voice. It was very… strange. There were no other words to describe the situation. Jackal being the logical think that he is questioned the whole game. He wondered how Eiji was able to fund all the costumes, clocks, and guns. How did Inui keep making juice and still participate in the competition? Where was Ryoma's father and why weren't people calling the police? It was all very odd.
As Jackal sat there pondering these questions a certain seaweed headed bastard climbed up on the roof and stole Jackal's expired protein bar.
Jackal reached down to grab his protein bar but instead grabbed something greasy.
" Did I bring up a burger?" Jackal thought then turned to see what he grabbed.
" Yo." Kirihara said and Jackal immediately let go in disgust.
He wiped his hands on his shirt and hissed, " What are you doing?"
" Getting food." Kirihara answered simply still eating the protein bar.
" What... Hey! That's my food!" Jackal called out realizing with horror that Kirihara was eating his life source!
" Not any more." Kirihara said and resumed eating the food.
Jackal pounced on Kirihara and the 2 began to wrestle for the ¾ eaten expired protein bar.
A helicopter sounded overhead blowing air everywhere, distracting the 2 hungry teenagers. They looked up and saw that Eiji was being lowered with a ladder by a helicopter.
Both of their jaws dropped as they stared wide eyed at this wonder.
" A challenge has been issued!!" Eiji yelled his now signatures cry.
Eiji placed both feet on the roof and the helicopter flew off. How Ryoma didn't wake up from the sound of helicopter blades was beyond human comprehension. Maybe he was drugged? Who knew….
Eiji was wearing a wrestler announcer outfit and even had the certain microphone in his hand.
" Your challenge is……………" Eiji paused for the 7th time that day.
" Pig wrestling!!"
" Excuse me?" Both asked, they weren't sure they heard right.
" Pig wrestling!" Eiji said into the microphone making both cover their ears.
" Jesus Christ!!" Kirihara shouted eyes starting to turn blood shot in anger.
" What the hell is pig wrestling?!" Jackal asked annoyed and confused.
" It's when you both get in a mud pit and try to catch a pig. Well…. I guess it isn't wrestling…. Let's call it pig catching then." Eiji explained.
" No!" Both yelled in synchrony. There was no way they were going to get their clothes dirty in trying to catch a fucking pig.
" Well if you refuse to cooperate then… you both have to drink Inui's juice." Eiji pointed to the table below where Inui held up 2 new glasses of freshly brewed Inui juice, a mad gleam in his eye.
Both swallowed and nodded vigorously. " We'll do it."
" Excellent! This way!"
Kirihara and Jackal followed Eiji to the ground floor and to the front yard where a pigpen was set up and filled with mud and a pig.
" Now Jackal is first! Take as long as you want to catch the pig but I wouldn't if I were you. Kirihara has to try and beat your time and if he does well… you know the price." Jackal glanced at Inui who was adding a new ingredient to the Inui juice, which caused a small explosion to happen.
Jackal nodded and took his shoes off so they wouldn't weigh him down. He went to the gate and waited for Eiji's signal.
A stopwatch appeared on Eiji's wrist and he raised his hand dramatically.
" GO!!" Eiji threw down his hand hitting the start button on the stopwatch. Jackal opened the gate and ran towards the pig but before he even reached it he fell flat on his face swallowing a whole mess of mud.
Kirihara's laughter could be heard through the mud just making Jackal feel more foolish and angry. He pushed himself to his feet and lunged towards the pig.
The pig squealed and ran away. Jackal missed, falling again. He got up and began chasing the pig around in a whole circle. Jackal lost his usual logic and became like a barbarian. He threw mud at the pig and grabbed its tail multiple times only making it squeal and slip out of his grasp. The whole time Kirihara was laughing which just made Jackal more angry and irrational.
Eventually the pig was just running on its own so Jackal stopped and waited for the pig to come to him as soon as it did he grabbed it around the waist and hoisted it up.
The pig squealed and struggled but it was caught. "Time!" Eiji called.
Jackal released the pig and climbed out of the pen exhausted.
" Your turn Kirihara-kun." Eiji summoned.
Kirihara stood near the gate and waited for Eiji's signal.
" GO!" He cried throwing his hand down. Kirihara opened the door calmly and walked towards the wiled up pig.
" Listen pig, if you don't let me catch you I will grind up into little bacon bits and feed you to your family." The pig stood there shuddering in fear then fainted.
Kirihara walked over and picked up the pig. " Time!" Eiji called.
Jackal's jaw dropped a second time, how could Kirihara's evilness pay off and Jackal's kind heart fail him?!
" And the winner is…" Eiji paused dramatically.
" I know who the damn winner is!!!" Jackal yelled shutting Eiji up.
" Just for being so rude you have to drink 2 Inui juices." Eiji huffed.
Inui appeared behind Jackal with glasses glinted and whispered, " Don't worry it could be much worse."
After the Inui juice Jackal's body was added to the hundreds of bodies on the side of the street that Sanada had swept into a nice neat pile. Jackal's body caused the pile to collapse and everyone tumbled down.
" Sanada-san clean up on aisle street!" Eiji called.
A/N: Whew finally done, my brain is like shutting down. Trying to think of a chapter at 11 at night is almost impossible for my non-nocturnal brain. I know this chapter wasn't the best but I honestly didn't know what to do. Please people I really need some good challenge suggestions and who should verse whom. It would help a lot and make the updates much faster.
Reviews and what not are always welcome! Thanks for reading!
