2.11: Light and Thunder.

GAME OVER!

"AH, COME ON!"

Tedashii and the Kaname siblings spent time with Ado and Rin at their apartment.

"Oh my word, you suck at video games," Rin said.

"You have to understand this is the first time I've seen a game console," Tedashii bloated. And beating me up does NOT teach me how to play the game!"

"A wise man once said you only win through a thousand defeats." Ado laughed and went into the kitchen.

"Hey, Seto, why don't you face me?"

"You're saying that because I'm blind…"

"JUST SYNC WITH NORIKO SO WE CAN PLAY!"

They all laughed. "Fine, let me just quickly go to the bathroom." Seto walked in with his sketchbook in hand.

"Wow…not even I would hit the loo with my drawings," Rin said with a grossed expression. Tedashii came closer and saw him drawing some characters.

"I didn't know you drew."

"Of course you don't; no one but Ado knows about this. Consider yourself lucky."

"I see, so what are you drawing?"

"I was just trying this random person who came to mind… I'm not your standard artist, so anything goes for me."

"That's still cool." Tedashii smiled as Noriko stood close in admiration.

"G-Guys, gimme some room… you're putting too much pressure on an artist."

"Artist?"

Seto came out and saw Rin's drawing. "You are not bad, Rin."

"NOT BAD?!?!"

SLAM!!

He dropped two papers and pens in front of Seto. "Well, why don't you reply to your comment, Mr. NOT BAD?!"

SYNC!

He synced with Noriko and saw the situation. "You sure about that?"

"Rin…his prowess is based on just drawing." Tedashii tried to warn him.

"And my prowess is based on showing cocky people the LIGHT! So what should I worry about?!"

"Okay then, I'll take your challenge then!"

Ado arrived with a few snacks and drinks. "What am I walking into?"

"Rin challenged Seto to a drawing competition…and it is not looking good for him."

"Isn't Seto's prowess based on-"

"We tried warning him…but he is so stuck on showing him the light, it seems," Noriko said, taking a bite out of the cake rolls. "These are delicious!"

"…how can she talk?" Ado asked out of shock.

"It's a long story; that was my exact reaction the first time I found out, too."

"That...is pretty cool."

"Speaking of which, I had no idea your roles were reversed here." Tedashii also took a bite.

"What? As in our hobbies?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't have taken you for a couch Po-"

"I AM NOT A COUCH POTATO!"

SNATCH!

"Yes, you are."

Rin came dashing to take a piece and returned to the table.

"Sigh, we both share the same hobbies. The only difference is that we prefer one over the other." He turned on the TV. "I like gaming since it keeps me mentally active, thanks to my powers. He likes drawing because Light prowess is powered by focus, so he uses this to ease his mind during our free time."

"I don't think I have a hobby ever since coming to this side of the country."

"Weren't you the one who was wandering around the city as Mighty Red?" Noriko asked.

"WHAT IS SAID IN THESE WALLS, STAY IN THESE WALLS!!"

"DAMMIT!!"

They turned to Rin's direction as he sulked on the floor.

"I'm guessing we finally have an obvious winner?" Ado said.

"THAT IS CHEATING! HOW THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE IS A WALKING CAMERA SHOT?!"

"Hahaha, we did try to warn you," Noriko laughed while consoling him. Tedashii came closer and looked at the two drawings. "Is that…an aquarium?"
