《Oh Captain My Captain! (Haikyuu)》Chapter 27

"Okay boys here are the rules" you stood in front of them with a paintball gun playfully resting on your hip. "We are going to split into 2 teams, if you get hit with the opposite teams paint you are out. Last person alive on the winning team gets a prize of his or her choice" you said flashing them an evil grin. "One by one reach into the bag Ukai is holding to draw out the color team you are on." You motioned for Ukai to come stand beside you.
The boys quickly rushed up each shoving their hand into the bad grabbing out either a red or blue bandana. A few of them high fived and started talking strategy once they realized they were on the same team. The blue team was made up of Bokuto, Akaashi, Daichi, Tanaka, Noya, Kageyama, Kinoshita, Lev, Yamamoto and Konoha. Team red was Kuroo, Kenma, Hinata, Yamaguchi, Tsukki, Enoshita, Sugawara, Asahi, Narita and Yaku.
"So as you might notice I'm not going to pick a team, I am my own team and I will be working on getting people from both teams out. You now have 2 minutes to run, hide, climb, or whatever it is you want to do. After those 2 minutes its game on" you aimed the paintball gun towards their feet releasing several paintballs flying "NOW GO!" you shouted.
The boys took off in every direction, scattering like roaches. Ukai couldn't hold his laugh anymore, the look on the boys terrified faces as you shot near their feet was hilarious.
"I think you honestly scared some of them" he laughed out.
"Good, that's half the fun!" you smiled.
"So who are you going after once the 2 minutes are over?" he asked after getting himself back together.
"Oh no one, I'm just going to wait here for when the winner shows up and then get him out." You said nonchalantly shrugging.
"That's either brilliant or cheating but I like it" he said flashing you a smile. "So what should we do while we wait?" he asked.
"Good question, how about you follow me back to my place" You said winking, he playfully shook his head following after you towards the tents.
(Switch to the blue team)
"PSSSSTTTT!!! AKAASHI!!!" Bokuto whispered very loudly, he had climbed up into one of the trees and was perched on one of the lower limbs.
"What Bokuto?" Akaashi asked annoyed, poking his head out from behind the neighboring tree.
"How do I know when it's been 2 minutes????" Bokuto asked.
"It's called a cellphone dumbass" he replied shaking his head.
*Switch to red team*
"Why did I agree to play this?" Kenma asked, looking very annoyed with his sleepy cat eyes.
"Because y/n asked us too, and I'm pretty sure we would do anything she asks at this point" Kuroo said with a chuckle.
"Shoyo why do you look so pale?" Kenma asked looking worriedly at Hinata.

"I'm just a l-little n-nervous is all... I've never played paintball before" he said, his body noticeably shaking.
"Its not so bad, it'll sting a bit if one hits you but I promise you'll be okay" Kuroo said giving him a supportive pat on the back "Just stick with me and you'll be fine" as Kuroo finished his statement, several blue balls of paint burst as they hit the ground and tree near the boys. Kuroo ducked behind the tree leaving the others in the line of fire, Kenma and Hinata dropped their weapons and yelled out in unison.
"We give up!" they raised their arms slightly in the air signaling their surrender.
Tanaka popped out from behind a tree hitting them both in the stomach with a paintball "Sorry! couldn't take any chances" he laughed out running away with Noya right behind.
Kuroo stepped out from behind the tree once he thought the coast was clear. Hinata flicked his eyes to him showing he was upset "What happened to "You'll be fine"" he said mocking Kuroo's voice.
"Sorry, I didn't think you guys would just stand in the line of fire like that" Kuroo laughed scratching the back of his neck.
*Back to blue team*
Daichi was sneaking from bush to bush, slowly creeping up on Suga and Asahi. When he had them in range, he popped out of the bush and shot both of them in the butt.
"Ahhhhhhhhh" Suga yelled out, grabbing his right buttcheek. Daichi bent over laughing loudly as they turned to glare at him.
*Back to camp*
The few boys who had already gotten out, slowly started to filter back into camp. They joined you and Ukai sitting around the fire. Kenma and Hinata were the first ones to arrive but you honestly were not surprised by this.
"Oh no! What happened you guys?" you asked trying not to smile at their grumpy looking faces.
"Tanaka shot us, even after we surrendered " Hinata groaned plopping down into the chair next to you.
"Well I'm sure you did your best" you said and leaned over planting a kiss on his cheek, trying to cheer him up. His cheeks lit up a bright red, and his sad expression vanished, leaving a dopey looking grin.
"Kitty?" Kenma said shyly.
"Yes?" you said flashing him a smile.
"C-can I have a kiss too?" he asked very quiet.
"Of course Ken-Ken, come here!" you said extending your arms. He walked over leaning his cheek in towards your lips, you placed a hand on each of his cheeks and turned his face towards yours. You quickly pulled him in, playfully giving him an eskimo kiss and planting a quick kiss on his lips. His cheeks also turned a bright red and he looked down at his feet embarrassed.
"Will you stop kissing everyone?" Tsukki asked in his usual snarky tone as he took a seat opposite of you across the fire pit.

"Out so soon Tsukki-poo?" you asked sarcastically.
"Tsk" he huffed rolling his eyes.
"For someone so cute you sure are salty" you laughed out. The tips of his ears turned slightly pink and he looked away acting like we was ignoring you.
*Red team*
The red team were dropping like flies, Kinoshita had gotten Narita and Enoshita out with a sneak attack with the help of Noya. Yaku thought he was going to get Lev out but as he took aim Lev tripped making Yaku miss. Lev miraculously flipped over on the ground and shot Yaku, which did not go over well! Yamaguchi was still not out surprisingly, tsukki had been with him but disappeared at some point so now he was just hidden behind a tree trying not to move. Kuroo having not seen any of his teammates in a while, knew they had probably already lost so he decided to be more offensive and had eyes set on Bokuto who was still hiding in the same tree.
*Blue team*
Tanaka, Noya and Yamamoto were running like wild banshee's through the woods, shooting any and everything in sight. Taking a sharp right they started running fast and howling like wolves until what felt like tiny stings pegged their bodies in many places. They instantly stopped looking down to see their bodies covered in red blots of paint.
"Whose there??!!" Yamamoto angrily yelled out, tanaka spotted someone and pointed. They approached the figure finding Yamaguchi cowering on the ground with one hand covering his eyes while the other held out the paintball gun in their direction. When Yamaguchi heard someone running his way and yelling he got scared and started shooting wildly, luckily hitting all three boys several times.
"WHY????????" Noya cried out falling to his knees dramatically.
Yamaguchi uncovered his eyes recognizing Noya's voice "What are you guys doing here?" he asked.
"We were trying to find who was left until YOU shot us!" Tanaka said with a hint of aggravation in his tone.
"I-im sorry! I didn't know it was you, I just heard someone coming towards me and got scared" he nervously explained.
"Its fine..... I guess" Noya said pouting and crossing his arms "I just really wanted to win the prize!" He exclaimed.
"Me too, I was going to use my prize to get the beautiful Kiyoko's number" Yamamoto said with hearts in his eyes.
"Not gonna happen CITY BOY" Tanaka said puffing his chest out.
*Back at camp*
More boys had started to show up, filing in around the fire pit. Kageyama, Kinoshita, Lev and Konaha were the next ones to arrive. Kuroo had gotten Kageyama and Lev while Sugawara had gotten Kinoshita and Konaha shortly before Daichi got him.
After a few minutes, almost everyone had come back to camp other than Daichi, Kuroo, Yamaguchi, Bokuto and Akaashi. You almost wished you were out there with them to see how it all played out, but you couldn't risk them knowing you wernt out yet and ruining your end game plan.
*Back to the remaining guys*
Bokuto was slowly growing more and more anxious until he spotted a scared looking Yamaguchi slowly approaching. He dropped down from the tree limb yelling and shot him in the shoulder.
"I DID IT!!!!!! Did you see that Akaashi?" he turned around excitedly looking for his friend. Kuroo took this opportunity to spring up from the bush he was hiding behind and shot Bokuto square in the chest. Daichi who had also been waiting in hiding jumped out from behind a tree and aimed at Kuroo but was quickly surprised when he was shot in the back by Akaashi who he didn't see sneak up behind him. Kuroo and Akaashi locked eyes, knowing they were the only two left and they quickly pointed their weapons at eachother.
"Ill make you a deal Akaashi, let me shoot you and we can pick the prize together" Kuroo yelled out.
"How about I shoot you and we can pick the prize together" Akaashi countered.
"You should settle this in an old fashion draw" Daichi joked, they looked at eachother and nodded. They stood back to back and started walking out 10 steps, but Akaashi only walked 5 until he turned and shot Kuroo in the back.
"What the hell man?" Kuroo asked turning around in anger.
"Things are not always fair in the old west" he smirked pretending to tip his hat and walked away towards camp. "Its going to be really unfair once you hear what I'm asking y/n to do for my prize" he called out an evil smile on his lips.
"I'm going to kill him" Kuroo said sliding his sleeves up to his elbow and ran after Akaashi. Bokuto and Daichi both laughed but ran after him just incase.
*Back at camp*
You could see the final boys walking towards the group, from this distance you couldn't tell who the winner was. Once they got closer you could see a smile plastered across Akaashi's face and knew who your target was.
"I'm ready for my prize Darling" he said as he arrived to the group, you shot up from your chair and aimed your gun from your hip shooting him. You oddly felt a sting on your own stomach and looked down to see a splatter of red paint. Looking up you locked eyes with Tsukki who was pointing his paintball gun at you.
"What the hell? Why did you shoot me??" you asked confused.
"You didn't think you were the only who could come up with such a simple plan did you?" Tsukki smirked.
"But you cant shoot me if your out!" you exclaimed.
"Who said I was out?" he cocked his head to the side knowing he had used your own trick against you. He turned in a slow circle showing that he had no paint anywhere. "Now about my prize Shortcake".

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
