Prank Wars

Sugar Rush

"Don't ask." Monk moaned, leaning back in his chair so that his head hung off the back of it, staring at the brunette girl upside down. Nodding slowly, she turned to the kitchen island and took a seat at one of the stools.

"Where are-?" She tried to ask after a while, her finger tracing random patterns on the surface infront of her.

"Naru's still in his room, Luella, Martin and Madoka went out and last I saw Lin was when he passed me in the hall." Ayako explained, sipping a drink Mai hadn't noticed the red head had.

"Yeah. I think he may have been looking for something..." Monk added, standing from his seat and stretching. He walked to the door and was about to leave when it burst open, slamming into him and sending him to the ground. In the doorway was a panting Lin, his eyes scanning the room frantically until they rested on the pantry door.

"Have any of you seen Masako?" Lin asked breathlessly, rushing to the plain wood door and touching the handle.

"Nope." Was Mai's short answer, turning in her seat to stare at the usually calm man who was now wearily eyeing at the pantry door.

"We've been here all morning, but we haven't seen her either." Ayako told the Chinese man, helping Monk up and off the ground.

"Lin." Naru called from the now empty doorway. "The only place we haven't checked is this room and obviously the pantry. So would you just get on with it?"

Glancing quickly at his narcissistic boss, Lin placed his hand on the doorknob and jerked it around, pulling the door open in one fluid movement.

Getting off the stool, Mai walked to the pantry and peeked in, only to gasp at what she saw.

The walk in store room was in complete chaos. White powder that smelt strongly of caster sugar dusted almost ever surface with empty containers and wrappers littering the floor. A miniature wall of rubbish had build up around one corner of the small room however, and behind it... was Masako. Mai screamed aloud when the dark haired girl turned to look at the open doorway, rocking back and force with an almost animalistic, crazed smile on her face.

"Oh my god!" Ayako yelled, clinging onto Monk and almost causing the man to fall over. "Is she possessed?"

"John! Jo- Oh wait. He went home for a while..." Takigawa thought, forgetting about the strange girl in the small room infront of him.

"Masako! How did you get in here?" Lin asked, turning to look pointedly at Yasu.

"Why you looking at me?" Yasu asked, standing from his seat and raising his hands in defence.

"Sugar!"

The sudden screech caused everyone to turn back to the kimono wearing girl just as she lunged at Mai, tackling the poor brunette to the ground.

"Oww. Ma-Masako?" Mai moaned, wincing as said girl grabbed her collar and lifted her head off the ground.

"Play!" Was the only think she growled before shaking Mai back and force, causing her head to hit the ground lightly a few times. "Now!"

Naru acted quickly, grabbing Masako by the shoulders and pulling her away from the barely conscious Mai, and almost instantly regretted it. The young psychic turned on him with a shrill laugh and then... the rest was a blur...

The team found themselves sitting at a miss matched collection of tables and chairs that the guys had to find throughout the villa. Once the area outside in the front garden was set up, random fabric had been thrown over the tables along with any leftover sweets and tea; multiple plates lay broken along the surface or ground, others hung precariously over the edge of the table while Masako threw the other porcelain at anyone who 'did not obey her rule.'
