Yo~! A new story for you all! So, I got this idea from listening to PAIN by Niou's seiyuu (Yuuki Masuda). And, it had a little of Fuji's in it too. So, I kinda put the two together and came up with this! Also, this story will be co-written with Chibi-Onee-Chan~! She'll help me with ideas and I'll write them out.

Prologue

It was a stormy day out, thunder clashing about. It was a horrible day and one that most people hated. Most people, except for the trickster of Rikkai, Niou Masaharu. He enjoyed these days the best. It meant he could sit back and relax and go over his future pranks. It was the perfect day. He had no one bothering him. His parents had work and his siblings were gone for the day. It was the perfect time for him to go over his pranks without any interruptions. Except, his cell phone decided to have a mind of its own.

Answering his phone with a sigh, he set his pencil down, and said into the receiver an annoyed 'yo'.

"Niou?"

Damn. It was the sugar freak. "What is it Marui? I don't have any gum to give you tomorrow so you can-"

"Who pissed you off today? Was it your brother or was it your neighbor's dog again? I told you that you should pull a prank on them to get their dog to leave you guys alone."

"It wasn't any of them. What do you want Marui?"

"Oh yeah! That's right; I wanted to ask you if you got the invitation to Atobe's party in two weeks."

"Party?"

"Yeah. Apparently it's for all the teams who played against them. I was just wondering if you got one and I wanted to know if you wanted to go cause, I mean, it is kind of rude to say no but then again-"

"Let me check."

Niou pushed back in his chair, sliding it across the ground as he got up and made his way to the front door. He pulled it open, wind helping the door a little. Thunder clapped on the outside and rain poured down hard. Why couldn't the sugar freak wait until after the storm to ask him if he got a stupid invitation to that stupid, arrogant bastard's party?

Grumbling, Niou slipped on his outdoor shoes, set his phone aside where Marui was waiting on the other end, and grabbed an umbrella. He jogged out into the rain quickly, getting the mail from the mailbox before jogging back inside.

He shut the door, slipped off his shoes, slipping on his indoor shoes and placing the umbrella back into its holder. He grabbed his phone while walking by, shuffling through the mail at the same time. Soon, he came across an envelope with his name on it in delicate kanji.

Setting the rest aside, he opened up the envelope, read what its contents said.

'Congratulations, you have been honored with the invitation of coming to ore-sama's party.
Date: August 26
Time: 5 PM
Place: ore-sama's mansion
Other: wear something casual and bring a bathing suit and towel. Ore-sama will not give anything to commoners.'

Frowning at the word 'commoner', Niou spoke into his phone. "Do I have to go?" It sounded more like a whine then a question, but who was asking.

"Probably. I think 'Mura-buchou's going and if he is then Sanada-fuku-buchou will too. And of course, we'll all be forced to go."

Niou sighed, "Fine. I'll go. Ja, Marui."

"Ja ne Niou."

With a flick of his wrist, Niou shut his phone, walking back to his desk in his room with the invitation. He really didn't want to go, but if he was forced to, which would most likely happen, then he was going to have fun. No matter what. And that would only happen if he pulled a prank.

Thinking through all his pranks, Niou tried to find the best one, but couldn't find one. With a frown, Niou set asides his cell phone and the invitation, looking down at all the pranks listed on the paper. And when his eyes skimmed over a certain one, the trickster gave his signature smirk. The one that said he was up to no good.

"Puri~"
