Chapter three: New years tournament.

Blood still stains. Blood through the ice.
The doctor is trying his best while she was keeping him stable.
The assistant had a unsettling grin on as he watched her, it made her uncomfortable.
"He will be okay now miss but you have to leave this to us now.," the doctor said.
"I need to stay with him, my Shiro..," the young female said as she held the male.
The doctor motioned to the assistant and the young woman saw black the next moment....

-

Christmas came and went. It was now new years. (Y/n) was free because of the tournament that was going on. Everyone was participating. She decided to go with them to see the fun games. It was going to be great. The young cold-bodied woman was happy to see Warden Momoko give the opening statement for the event.

"Greetings!," Momoko's powerful voice echoed, "And a happy new year to each of you!"
Cell thirteen was surprised to see how beautiful the warden was and that she was a woman, uno and rock especially.
(Y/n) silently rolled her eyes and went back to listening to Momoko.
The blue haired warden explained that the tournament was a joint cooperation tournament.The therapist happily listened to her.
'Momoko Nii-chan is doing great. I can't wait for the fun tournament!', she thought to herself.

The supervisor of building 4, Kenshirou Yozakura, stepped up while holding a small stack of papers. He looked great in his beautiful Sakura blossom pattern cape and his clean uniform.
"I will now announce the participants selected to represent each building.," the elegant doggie guard said.
Jyugo had to say something as the dog guard was announcing the participants, "What does he mean by participants?"
"The new years tournament is an event where inmates and officers are formed into teams.", Hajime explained.
Seitarou piped in with his own bit, "Each member of whichever team that manages to win will be rewarded with a nifty little prize."
Yamato added a little more information, "We guards get awarded a pay bonus. Whereas each inmate will be allowed to receive any single item of their choosing!"

That seemed to pump the boys up as they all looked at Hajime, "Hajime! You got to let us compete!"
"Dammit Yamato.," the supervisor cursed, "Why did you have to tell them?"
"A-actually...," Seitarou said, "It is the warden who chooses."
'And I have a feeling that she gave the selection of participants for building 13 to cell 13.', (y/n) thought to herself and was not very surprised when Kenshirou confirmed her suspicions.
"Representing building 13 is cell 13.", the dog said aloud.
Hajime did not seem to be happy about that, neither was Seitarou. Soon everyone was allowed to go sit in the stands around the arena, (y/n) was thankful for having a safe spot near Hajime.

Of course the peace would not last long as the monkey like supervisor of building five, Samon Gokuu. The tanned man just had to come and poke the fire with Hajime.
"Sup Hajime, I heard your building is getting represented by cell thirteen. My condolences in advance for the loss."
Hajime did not look amused, "Say what?"
"I'm not sure if you are familiar with my cell eight yet, but you will be when we destroy you in this tournament.", Samon taunted as the air began to crackle with tension.
(Y/n) scooted closer to Jyugo to avoid being caught in a potential fight.
"I don't care if I win this year," Hajime grimaced, "But I damn sure will not lose to you."
The female was afraid that an actual fight was about to break out.

"My goodness, you boys are always so aggressive towards one another.," the gentle voice of Kiji stopped them for a brief time, "Behave yourselves please, my cell six is accustomed to class."
(Y/n) looked at the two males following Kiji, 'Are they the ones he wanted me to meet?'
"Couldn't quite catch that over your perfume.," Samon said to the beautiful Supervisor.
Kiji was not impressed, "If you think it might help, I would gladly fill your nostrils with cement."
"Put an end to this threatening banter at once, both of you.," the voice of Kenshirou spoke, "It is disgraceful."

"Stop pretending that you are better than us, dog!", Samon shouted at Kenshirou.
Kiji also jumped in to verbally attack him, "there is only one inmate in cell ten, correct? Must be frustrating to know you lost so soon."
(Y/n) let out a sigh, they fought like children who were comparing toys to see who had the best on the playground.
"That remains to be seen. But you aren't my foe.," Kenshirou maturely handled the situation.
"A dog, a pheasant and a monkey...," Rock said.
"Pretty freaky bunch.", Nico added with a smile.
'Sounds like the sidekicks in an old folktale.,' (y/n) thought to herself.
"They are all just cronies.," Jyugo said.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CRONY?!", Both kiji and Samon asked in anger.
The young lady stood up and put her hands up to tell the supervisors to stop, she pointed to the arena to direct their attention elsewhere.

"HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR YOU CONVICTS AND GUARDS! GET READY BECAUSE THIS PARTY IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF! I AM MITSUUURU AND I WILL BE COVERING THE PLAY BY PLAY!", Mitsuru yelled into his mic.
'Oh no.', (y/n) thought to herself and put in some earplugs she had.
She wished she had enough to give Hajime, the supervisor looked like he needed them.
Mitsuru explained the rules, that each building would have to advance through five competitions.
The first event was calligraphy.
Yamato and Hajime decided they would enter, that just left one Inmate to be entered.
Of course they chose Jyugo because he was a Japanese native.
(Y/n) had a bad feeling about that selection.
Nico, Rock and Uno looked in awe as the event began.
The prompt was 'happy new year' that was supposed to be written in beautiful traditional kakizome.
What he made was more along the lines of a paper mask face.
Thankfully Hajime and Yamato were able to pull them through the event with their penmanship. Not surprising as they are listened calligraphy instructors.
(Y/n) sighed and patted the young Japanese man's back, he flinched from her cold hand as his cell mates did little to nothing to cheer him up.

The second event was up: Mochi pounding daruma drop.
Huge wooden Mochi bowls filled with the sticky rice sat upon three daruma drop pedistals.
This was going to be an interesting event.
The point of the game was to either finish the Mochi or drop the opponent's daruma.
(Y/n) hoped that at least one team made their Mochi as she would want to eat it.
Yamato of course was the best choice for this event. The enthusiastic guard wanted to compete with Jyugo but it was found that Rock was a better choice.
Rock was positioned on the ground to protect the daruma as Yamato pounder the mocha rice with great vigor.
The young therapist tapped Hajime on the arm and pointed to the Mochi tubs, he sighed.
"I doubt the Mochi will be edible.," He said to her and she drooped from disappointment.
Uno noticed and chuckled, "I guess Mochi is one of the foods you like."

However not all of the contestants were as peaceful as Yamato and Rock, the inmate that was with Building five attacked the daruma under Building 13's mortar.
He looked to be a well built Chinese male with long black hair in a braid and pinkish makeup on, he wore a red uniform. He looked really handsome.
He seemed to have some sort of grudge against rock as they started to fight.
"Is that legal?," Uno asked.
Hajime crossed his arms, "Building five is full of combative types, they always do this."
Rock was not the only one who had a struggle as the boar like deputy supervisor of building five started to pick a fight with Yamato.
(Y/n) gazed over to the other mortars to check on the other buildings, they seemed to be doing well. Especially building 4. She found it funny that the supervisor was doing all the work as his inmate wandered about on the field.
Her attention went back to building thirteen's contestants, rock threw his opponent into the stands with a punch. It was enough to destroy some of the stands.
Yamato followed his lead and punched deputy supervisor Inori into the opponents' darumas.
Building thirteen won again.
'Looks like building thirteen is on a roll.,' (y/n) thought to herself and smiled under her mask. She got up to congratulate Rock and Yamato on their victory.

Third event was a card game, Hyakunin isshu.
Hajime knew exactly what guard to choose and gave the role to Seitarou.
He was about to pick Jyugo before Uno volunteered.
After a small argument between Jyugo and Uno, the two competitors were on the field with Kiji and his inmates. A pair of rather handsome males. One had green hair with yellow tips and the other had purple hair with pink tips.
They introduced themselves as Trois and Honey.
(Y/n) could not lie, they did spark a little interest with how handsome the were.
All of the competing males sat in front of the neatly arranged cards to start the game as Mitsuru read the poems out.
It was over quickly between Kiji and Seitarou as the latter was too fast for the fabulous supervisor.
Uno, however, seemed to be having trouble as Honey and Trois were getting the better of him.
Kiji had already returned to the stands and stood beside (y/n) and Jyugo to watch his inmates play.
"Number 11 will no doubt try to cheat, luckily I already warned my boys about him.," the pheasant like guard said and smiled down at (y/n) when she waved at him.

"Uno does not have to cheat here.," Jyugo said and got Kiji's attention.
"What?," the supervisor asked.
About that Moment, Uno took some cards from under Honey's hand.
'He is reading body language.,' (y/n) thought to herself and continued to watch.
Trois switched in and uno again read the body language to know what card to take.
Soon he had a stack of the cards.
The blond and pink brit was triumphant and seemed to have his ego inflated a little from his victory as The one named Honey had shown his true colors and was putting his middle finger up at him as a sore loser.
Kiji went to collect his inmates as uno came back up, "That's right, I'm that awesome."
(Y/n) stood up and gave him a thumbs up which he returned.
"I wonder what the fourth event is.," rock murmured.

Nico, who seemed to disappear during the third event, reappeared. He seemed to be excited about something and was bugging Hajime.
(Y/n) did not hear them as her respirator was beginning to make a funny sound, Seitarou tapped her shoulder.
"You should go get that looked at. We'll be here when you get back.," the blue haired male said with a kind smile and got a nod from the female.
She got up and walked out of the arena to get to the doctor's office.
The elderly man in there did not look really happy to see her, "What is the matter with you?"
(Y/n) took off her mask, "I think something is wrong with my respirator."
"I'll get Kazari to look at that, you are overdue for a checkup.," the grumpy doctor said and took the respirator pack to his wife, "I'll will do that as you wait for your respirator."

(Y/n) sat on the bed and let the doctor do his exams, "You haven't had any more incidents with your ability have you?"
"No, Momoko has helped me with that by having me practice using it every weekend. I think I have improved thanks to her.," the young woman said as the doctor checked her breathing.
"You need to be more careful, your core temperature has risen slightly.," Okina said, "Don't push yourself too hard or you'll end up having to stay here overnight for treatment."
"Yes sir.," (y/n) responded.
The elderly woman walked in with the respirator, "I patched the airflow valve, that was the problem. I need to make a new device for you soon."
"Thank you Kazari-san.," The young female said and put the device back on, "I hope both of you have a pleasant day." She walked to the door and stopped to turn to the android, "Bye Kaguya Nee-san."

The female left after saying goodbye to the small family receive Nico for treatment, the young green haired male must have pushed himself too far in the event he was in.
She returned to the stadium just in time to see Kenshirou and Hajime start fighting, Jyugo was fighting Kenshirou's inmate. A burn-tanned man with firey colored hair and a blindfold over his eyes.
That inmate was brutal on his attacks on Jyugo.
Then she saw it, he erupted with flames from his hands.
It was like her powers, except his was fire and hers was ice.
"Spontaneous human combustion." She heard Kiji say.
But that was not the only surprise that day, Jyugo was knocked into a wall and covered by rubble. Rubble that was sliced by huge blades.

Jyugo.
Jyugo had blades on his arms, he was free from his shackles.
The firey inmate and Jyugo started to fight, their battle turned dangerous for everyone around them.
(Y/n) heard Momoko order the Guards to catch the inmates and interrogate them, the warden looked right at her and pointed to the two fighting. Ordering her to aid.
What she was ordered to do was going to be a gamble with her health, the more she expels cold from her body the hotter she becomes. If she makes her temperature too hot she will end up sick.
But this was a fight that was ordered out of desperation and she now had to reveal her power and face.

She jumped into the area and threw off her mask, "You two stop right now!"
The blast of icy power blew a chill through the two inmates.
"Another one like us?," the raspy voice of the Pyro inmate asked, "This day keeps getting better!"
His fiery blast burned through her coat and made her remove her now burning respirator, showing her tank top underneath.
She retaliated by blowing away his fire with her icy power.
Jyugo took the chance to attack the man, the blind man somehow knew he was coming and dodged.
"Musashi! Tell me where he is!," Jyugo screamed and attacked.
Musashi only taunted him to try to hit him.
The battle was a mess, (y/n) was able to freeze heir feet but Musashi's flames burned it all away.
The other guards used the distraction of (y/n)'s Ice to capture Musashi while cell 13 helped Hajime to catch Jyugo.
(Y/n)'s head started to spin as her body got hot.
She collapsed on the dirt and passed out there.
